[edit]

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at TVR, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Iiii I I I (talk) 06:04, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I gave valid reasons in all of my edits. Do not revert them again. TVR ceased to exist when Smolensky shuttered the company - not one single development prototype was ever built for the 2018 Griffith, let alone any customer cars, and the EV proposals are dead too, it's just a dormant company with no factory and no employees. 86.160.247.245 (talk) 22:29, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted your edits and am doing so again because you have not provided any citations to back up what you claim. Even if true, this is not how you update a Wikipedia article – you may amend or expand the existing text to include that TVR never followed through, but you should not remove sourced information just because you have some personal grudge against the company. It's plainly incorrect to say that the company is not called "TVR Electric Vehicles Limited", or to remove the line about the company being under new ownership from the history section. Iiii I I I (talk) 23:57, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
TVR Electric Vehicles Limited is a wholly separate subject and is also completely dormant and as such not noteworthy and does not merit an article. Everything the company did that is notable occurred between 1956 and 2006. Nothing else. I do not have a personal grudge against the company - I am merely sticking to and striving for factual accuracy. The existing state of affairs implied that the 2018 Griffith is still a real and present thing, and that there is a future of electric TVR cars. Neither is true. There is zero possibility of any TVR car emerging in the coming years, as examination of the accounts filed with Companies House will show - they are not spending any money on R&D or labour, they do not have any employees - in short, it's a bullshit company that exists only for tax purposes. Unless and until there is any prospect of new ownership of the TVR brand ACTUALLY developing new product, the articles as they were/are could not be described as accurate or truthful. They're dishonest, disingenuous and misleading. 86.160.247.245 (talk) 03:19, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've copied these comments over to Talk:TVR and responded there, since the article talk page is a more appropriate place to discuss page content. --Iiii I I I (talk) 04:41, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on TVR Griffith. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Also, if you cast aspersions against another editor again (i.e. " Revert vexatious reversion and restore factual accuracy."), you will be blocked. Continue the discussion at Talk:TVR to gain consensus. S0091 (talk) 20:51, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Iiii I I I if this editor reverts again, report them. That's not say to they aren't be right on the merits (or wrong), but being right matters not when it comes edit warring. 20:58, 6 March 2025 (UTC) S0091 (talk) 20:58, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to help you here: edit warring and digging your heels in will not get your desired result. You can easily obtain a stable version which meets your desires by discussing and obtaining consensus. Go ahead, take a step back and re-engage and treat everyone the way you would have them treat you. Best,  Mr.choppers | ✎  20:56, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to engage positively with other users and to establish consensus via article talk pages, to no avail! Nobody seems interested in debating, I just get reverted repeatedly and my talk posts ignored! 86.160.247.245 (talk) 06:37, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not "blanking", I'm attempting to separate out an irrelevance into its own article where it belongs. I have given abundant explanation as to why. 86.160.247.245 (talk) 07:04, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Several editors now have brought up that Wikipedia operates on consensus-building. You cannot wipe out large portions of an article, including citations, and start from scratch in the fashion you are doing. You are causing significant damage to the page in question. Please work on the talk page Talk:TVR Griffith to start a constructive discussion to propose what changes you believe should be made. Alxeedotalk 07:09, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have attempted to obtain consensus, I've already posted on that talk page repeatedly to no avail. The citations removed are worthless as the sources in question only repeat Les Edgar's press releases. Give me a few minutes to work on references. 86.160.247.245 (talk) 07:11, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see. I think the crossover of discussions between here, Talk:TVR and Talk:TVR Griffith has made things confusing -- I missed that earlier. My apologies. Alxeedotalk 07:35, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted you again

[edit]

Hi IP, once again I reverted your removal of content this time from both TVR Griffith and TVR. @Iiii I I I started a discussion at Talk:TVR which was the correct action to take when content is disputed and while you did engage you still enforced your preferred version. You can't do that. Wikipedia's content, policies and guidelines are driven by consensus. Without consensus editors have no standing, which includes you. I think we can both agree Companies House is a poor source so generally should not used outside of very basic facts but I don't see that it is used in the disputed content and your arguments appear to be original research (read that) based on your own knowledge, analysis and/or interpretation of primary sources which is not allowed here. What you need are secondary reliable sources, such as reputable newspapers, magazines, etc. that explicitly support your claims and to present those on the talk page so others editors can review them. S0091 (talk) 21:08, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@86.160.247.245: Do not remove content again until you have established consensus as per the above; this is becoming increasingly disruptive. lavender|(formerly HMSSolent)|lambast 05:59, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus is established by factual reality: no development cars built or tested, no customer cars built or delivered, no valid registered office (the garage in Walliswood was sold last year), all deposit-holders either refunded or left out-of-pocket. 86.160.247.245 (talk) 06:26, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the ip has started a conversation at the talk page; their concerns are not unfounded. IP: please provide a reference or two, it can just be a simple url and I will help you format it.  Mr.choppers | ✎  07:31, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mr.choppers: I think the previous warnings here, number of recent reverts on TVR Griffith, and discussions being split across 3 different talk pages have caused some (including myself) to misunderstand the situation. My apologies for that. While I added a note on Talk:TVR Griffith, I'm wondering if it may not be sufficient. Would this scenario warrant adding Template:In use on TVR Griffith? Just a thought. Alxeedotalk 07:49, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Alxeedo: This user clearly has an axe to grind (lost a deposit?) and has gotten off on the wrong foot here in WP, but I think they can be brought around. I would love to hear what others actually think about the matter, instead of (for good reason) reverting the IP for all of their violations of WP etiquette and rules.  Mr.choppers | ✎  08:16, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No axe to grind here. I wasn't one of the deposit-holders. I'm just not particularly keen on businesses getting away with defrauding the taxpayer, promising the world and delivering nothing. 86.160.247.245 (talk) 09:04, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Great. If you actually want anyone to hear your message, I recommend collaborating and calmly discussing things. If you are productive and persuasive (by providing references, for instance) your edits will improve the article and will remain part of it for the foreseeable future. Being belligerent and poisonous will only result in your edits being removed. I am personally losing any interest I may have had in aiding you, but I may revisit this in a year or so once you've moved on.  Mr.choppers | ✎  19:44, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
