Hey, saw your message for car help on community chat. I too am looking for people intrested in cars to help on The Classic Car Wiki.

TheWWC 17:10, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, as long it's classic cars. No Nissan GT-Rs or BMW Z4s understood? I don't want to be compete with other car wikis. -- Ra yo us 00:59, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Reviews
All model review pages from wikicars have been copied over. What's next?-Hockeyben 01:05, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * For me, fixing up the screwed up categories, and the missing images. -- Ra yo us 01:54, September 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * The missing jeep images for me.-Hockeyben 02:03, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Message wall
Looks AWFUL. Hockeyben ✉ 03:43, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, I know. -- Ray ous♠ 04:02, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't understand why wikia wants to do this. All experiences users have zero problems with talk pages, they have been used without fuss on wikipedia for over 10 years. Plus, talk pages are used to directly discuss things regarding the wiki, not a message board for random discussions. Hockeyben  ✉ 04:11, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter. Wikia wasn't afraid to force Wikians to eat their crap Oasis skin. So nothing's going stop them from changing Wikia into Facebook. -- Ray ous♠ 05:56, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I guess I will start to sound like a Wikia-fanboy, but why does it look awful to you? Imo it actually looks more userfriendly. You don't have to use - Zantam03 ( Talk ) at the end anymore and everyone can easily see who posted which message. It's basically the same as the Comments on the bottom of articles. For a talk-page this works really well I think... --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 06:31, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, but this is how much people who don't want it. -- Ray ous♠ 06:50, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yea but I'm asking you why you don't like it. I don't care about that list. I don't need it to form an opinion. I don't like or dislike something because there's a list of people who like or dislike it. I like the new talkpage because it's more userfriendly... no more :::::: or or whatever. Those people in that list are probably people who also did not want Wikia to switch to Monaco and they will never accept ANY form of change. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 08:05, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikis have talk pages and signatures. When Wikia replaces it with a "wall", it becomes a social networking site, not a wiki anymore. -- Ray ous♠ 08:08, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * In essence nothing changes; you're talking, but in the future this will be slightly easier and the talkpage will look more clear. Wikis will never look like a social networking site, because a talkpage is still something that happens "behind the scenes". --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 10:31, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I hope you're right because about 98% percent of the community do not like this new feature. -- Ray ous♠ 10:35, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Most people who come here are still regular, unregistered visitors. 99% percent of those have and will never see your talkpage. By making the talkpage more clear and easier to use Wikia hopes to encourage teamwork for the Wiki. If people want to call that "Facebook-ish" then go ahead, but I don't see how it does and I'm actually looking forward to the message wall. Never really liked the :::::: and ~ or.... people forgetting to use those. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 10:41, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * And I believe people who don't mind or find this feature "ok" will not bother to share their opinion, so that list is incomplete I'm sure and does not truly represent the Wikians opinion. --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 10:46, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Jeep images
I'll do the Jeep images, so don't bother uploading any of those. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:34, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Come on chat. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:41, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * You joined then left. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous♠ 15:51, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * You didn't respond to my messages, I'll come back on. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:58, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, sorry I wasn't using private chat. But I gotta sleep bye -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous♠ 16:00, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * We can talk later then. -- Hockeyben ✉ 16:01, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Auto racing
I have expanded/created a number of auto racing pages, including NASCAR and various other championships. All F1 seasons and race tracks have articles, and all main NASCAR races also have articles. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:28, October 1, 2011 (UTC)

Skin
I've tweaked the skin. What do you think?-- Hockeyben ✉ 17:26, October 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I like the white skin better. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 01:17, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. I'll revert to Zantam's version. Hockeyben ✉ 01:19, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

So. We'll just keep the white skin. I like the fact that it doesn't look to "busy". I sorta liked the gray one, though. Hockeyben ✉ 01:27, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

We should start a Autopedia:Categories page, to help us organize the disastrous cats. I remember we had something like that on Shoutwiki. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:14, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hmm.. I think I have to change the main page design, fix the categories, upload images, retrieve the deleted Koenigsegg articles, and update car blogs. That's the last thing I need to do on my list. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:16, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay then. What are you planning for the main page? I sorta liked the sw one. I think the skin is fine, and should be kept, though. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:18, October 2, 2011 (UTC)PS I can copy the article text for Koenigsegg from Wikipedia, and use the wikicars layout. So you don't need to. -- Hockeyben  ✉ 15:19, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm not in a good mood lately because I was banned from Community Chat. I was gonna do the main page later, but I've lost the motivation to do it. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:21, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * What happened on community chat? -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:21, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Does it matter? -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:23, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you dont wanna say, that's fine. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:25, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm just not in a good mood right now. Sorta depressed. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:27, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

I think people have already forgotten what happened back then. Besides, those conflicts were made under Knightrez. You're Rayous now... --- Zantam03 ( Talk ) 17:25, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Motorsport
I'm focusing my attention on Motorsport articles at the moment .-- Hockeyben ✉ 15:33, October 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:36, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

8K
8,000 articles!!! Another milestone! The motorsport articles are done for now, as well Hockeyben ✉ 01:21, October 3, 2011 (UTC)

RE
Hey. I saw your message about retiring if rm doesn't come back. I contacted him on wikipedia, and received a reply, basically stating he's currently too busy IRL to have time for ap. Which basically means the car blogs are screwed. What does this mean for your future with the site? After all that autopedia has rebounded from, I would hate to see it become a deserted wiki, and I will help out when time permits if there are other members of the community also willing to work. Hockeyben ✉ 03:53, October 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Recently, I've lost my addiction to wiki editing. But I'll make a few edits later. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 05:42, October 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sometimes, I lose interest in wikis, and want to quit, but after taking a few days (or weeks) off, I generally feel motivated again. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:02, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Community portal
Hey. I posted some thoughts on Autopedia:Community Portal. Could use your insight on my thoughts there. Hockeyben ✉ 02:01, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Other wikis
Are there any other wikis your into editing at the moment? Hockeyben ✉ 02:14, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nope. All my concentration is here. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:16, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Same, right now just here and sometimes wikipedia. That'll change when shout comes back, and my attention will be more over there. I have a rough idea on what we missed with the car blogs, and will be updating some stuff tomorrow. Hockeyben ✉ 02:20, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I finally got my wiki addiction back. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:22, October 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good that your motivated again. The major auto shows we miss are Geneva, Chicago, and New York. I'll mainly be doing articles on the models unveiled, not small updates. Hockeyben ✉ 02:26, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia has a handy category for cars released in 2011 See here, I should be able to do this rather easily. Hockeyben ✉ 02:29, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, great. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:31, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * can you help with the car updates? Just use wikipedia. Hockeyben ✉ 02:38, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I'm quite busy at the moment. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:39, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, but the updates will be a lot of work, but not as bad as I imagined. Hockeyben ✉ 02:41, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Should I disable comments? What do ya think? -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:45, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * If we can use ex: Talk:Jeep, then yes. Especially after those spam comments a few weeks ago. Hockeyben ✉ 02:48, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * I just disabled it. Talk:Jeep -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:50, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Good, I never liked comments. Hockeyben ✉ 02:52, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Updating the Detroit Auto Show starts now. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:02, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Roger that. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 15:07, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, Detroit is done. But it was the easiest, which is why I did it first. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:34, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Chicago is also done, on to Geneva now. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:46, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Break
I'm taking a break from autopedia for a few days. I've lost some motivation in editing. Plus, I've got some stuff I gotta do on wikipedia. Don't worry, I'll still be editing here everyday, just not quite so massively. Hockeyben ✉ 01:08, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Nah, Bulldozer isn't gonna help out. As you can see, he's ignoring me and the question on why he has car articles there. Quite frankly, I don't like his shit copy/pasted articles. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 01:38, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * What does that have to do with me taking a break? But no, he's not gonna help. I like our car articles better, too. Hockeyben ✉ 02:11, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok, see you around. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:14, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll still be editing, just more like 20-30 edits a day. Hockeyben ✉ 02:20, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Let's talk on chat. Hockeyben ✉ 02:27, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't help out Bulldozer. I take it as an insult for ignoring my question and not replying to my nice offer. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 04:32, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Come on chat. I've Got a few minutes to talk. Hockeyben ✉

Come on chat. I'll be online for ~ 5 minutes. -- Hockeyben ✉ 01:13, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

I gotta go. We can talk later. -- Hockeyben ✉ 01:16, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Let's talk now. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:49, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Scratch that. I can't connect to chat. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:52, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I can't connect either. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 14:59, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Jeep
I'm currently uploading the missing jeep images. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:08, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Jeep images are all uploaded!! -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:37, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

I'm able to connect to chat. Let's talk now. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:48, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

I got a few thing to say. Come on chat for a few minutes. Hockeyben ✉ 13:41, October 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * It disconnected me from chat. Weird. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 13:51, October 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Same here. Let's try again. -- Hockeyben ✉ 13:52, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Tuatara
I just saw the pics you added on the SSC Tuatara page. Sweet looking car!! If your wondering, I'm currently busy, but I should be able to upload the Koenigsegg CCX pics within a day or two. -- Hockeyben ✉ 15:08, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Come on chat.-- Hockeyben ✉ 13:07, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Archive
Did you manage to retrieve the SSC Aero from archive.org? -- Hockeyben ✉ 16:03, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * User:Rayous/Sandbox -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:06, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

infobox
The new infobox works. Looks great!!-- Hockeyben ✉ 17:16, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not bad. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:05, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Let's talk on chat for a few minutes. Hockeyben ✉ 02:21, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

I'm back on chat. :) Hockeyben  ✉ 02:42, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * You left again. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 02:43, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

My browser crashed I'm back now. Hockeyben ✉ 02:50, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

What happened to the new infobox? btw, I've moved the SSC Aero from your sandbox to the main article. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:23, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I remember RM removed it before. It doesn't suit the classic cars and vintage cars. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 14:41, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok. So we'll just stick with what we currently have. -- Hockeyben ✉ 14:46, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Come on chat when you're back on. I'll be on waiting for you. -- Hockeyben ✉ 13:26, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

Let's talk on Chat now. Wikias server crashed so we couldn't talk earlier. Hockeyben ✉ 01:38, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Can we talk now? Hockeyben ✉ 03:04, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Sure. -- <font color="Red">Ray <font color="Black">ous 03:05, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Attracting people
Hey man. As you can tell by my photos, I go to alot of classic car shows. We had an idea at the last one to hand out business cards with all the wiki details on them to people. So now we have some made up and the next show we go to, we will be handing them out to the car owners as well as people viewing the cars.

Not much activity on the wiki lately as most of the contributors are on holiday and I've been sorting out my main wiki for it's second birthday and then I'm gonna go and add loads of pages and photos to Classic Cars Wiki :)

TheWWC 10:38, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Since we're affiliates maybe you could add Autopedia's URL to your business cards. --Rayous 10:40, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Skin
Check out the new and improved skin. :) -- Hockeyben ✉ 17:03, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

What do you think of the skin? Hockeyben ✉ 01:46, October 22, 2011 (UTC)
