Dicks on Wikipedia. Help Please!!

**pedrotski** · 19-08-2009, 03:58 PM

This is making me rage hardcore. There is an image of a VS Statesman on the article - Holden Statesman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the old image that was previously used - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...n_sedan_01.jpg

I saw that image and was pretty upset that such a terrible example of a VS was used.

I then decided to put up a photo of my daily as, in my eyes, it is a prime example of a non modded VS statesman. Here is the image i am refering to.

File:1996 Holden VS Statesman.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since i have put that image up it has been reverted 2 times due to the fact that the old image is "far supiorer quality". I dont doubt that the image was taken with a better camera than the one i have on hand but articles shouldnt be about who has the bigger picture size, it should be about the car. I mean, the image of the VR (actually a VS!!!) is heaps worse than mine yet that remains!. I mean what the ****. - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...series)_01.jpg

If you want to help out, just go here (Revision history of Holden Statesman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and revert the changes made by OSX and Falcadore.

If you have taken an image of your car in its stock form that was taken with a better camera. Please send it to me and i will upload it.

edit: Im not asking for help because i want MY car on there, Im asking because its stupid that they would want such a bad example of a VS Statesman on there. If you have a better example of one, Please send it.

First thing I though of was this:
Wikipedia:Lamest edit wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

**nick3110** · 19-08-2009, 04:26 PM

its a VS? lol.. does it matter?

**Not_An_Abba_Fan** · 19-08-2009, 04:28 PM

Does it really matter? A car is a car. Is it that important that it doesn't have a scratch or is not 100% clean?

**Lumps of cheese** · 19-08-2009, 04:31 PM

Yeah i wouldn't worry about it too much man.

**hsvpunk** · 19-08-2009, 04:37 PM

LMAO!!

Yeah, mate, seriously, don't get too worked up over it. It's just an image really...
I could understand your rage if maybe it that image was going to be used in an official Holden encyclopedia or something...

**Haydz** · 19-08-2009, 04:49 PM

**Coast_Calais** · 19-08-2009, 04:53 PM

**VRV8_Matt** · 19-08-2009, 05:25 PM

I am asking this because I think this entire thread is stupid and pointless.

Clearly dude you need to suck it up, turn off the computer and get a life.

**greenfoam** · 19-08-2009, 10:47 PM

The original photo is better quality

I have to agree with the majority

Haha, what the ****. I was thinking what the hell no, Then i looked at the image and the wiper seems to have disapeered. Mystery Wiper

**pedrotski** · 20-08-2009, 03:03 AM

Meh **** it. Im going to start my own internet.

Ahahahahaha, Well bill gates just arrived and bought me out.

**Not_An_Abba_Fan** · 20-08-2009, 12:22 PM

How are you going to spend the $2.48?

**pedrotski** · 21-08-2009, 11:15 PM

NOS Sticker.

**chrism182** · 21-08-2009, 11:24 PM

Well to be honest the current picture is much better quality than the picture you have, I can see why they would rather use the current one.

**Shortstuff** · 21-08-2009, 11:50 PM

I say don't worry about it. Could be worse. They could be using a pic of a thinly disguised VS Berlina like the Richard Lewis website!

Just google images of VS statesman to see what I mean - sandy coloured VS on the first page of results if you can be bothered! Can't get a link to work.

**CrimsonThunder** · 22-08-2009, 02:41 AM

lol, you'd think if your gonna take a picture of a car to show what it looks like you'd take a stick off it firstly.
