Bibliography vs. Further Reading

There are some books listed under the Bibliography section that are not cited anywhere in the article. Should these books be removed from this section and placed in a new section under "Further Reading"? Expandinglight5 (talk) 04:32, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Based on Wikipedia:Further_reading#Relation_to_reference_sections, I will move works in the bibliography section not referenced in the article to the Further Reading section. Expandinglight5 (talk) 04:46, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This can be closed and move to archive. Expandinglight5 (talk) 01:10, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bosch K-Jetronic?

According to the article DeLorean used a Bosch K-Jetronic injection. This is quite remarkable because K-jetronic was used by Citroen in the 'DS 21 à injection electronique' of 1972. Citroen already had the next generation: Bosch L-jetronic in the CX-model of 1975. (My 1981 Lancia Gamma FL also features L-jetronic). So...has anyone a reliable source?

FA consideration

i feel like if this article had a nice revamp (copyediting etc) and WP:PR it could be taken to WP:FA status. I've contributed to seven of thirteen of the automobiles at featured article status on the wikiproject automobiles, so i feel i could help. @Expandinglight5: do you think that FA status is a plan? I'd be happy to do a copyedit on the article and co-nominate at WP:FAC with you, Expandinglight5. 750 h+ 12:56, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Accessability likely needs review on the images before going to Peer Review. In addition, cars that are cited as being on display at a museum or in a private collection may need updating. I'm happy to be part of the nomination process. I'll read through the article in the next day or two and see what I find in terms of updates.

I've gone through the article and made some changes. Feel free to submit for peer review when you're ready. Please archive the other talk discussions.
