Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Fallout series. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- ferret (talk) 20:15, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for December 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Audi S2, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sedan. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

January 2022

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Fallout series. You've been repeatedly reverted for changing the status of New Vegas as a spinoff, which is backed by reliable secondary sources. Continuing to do so may result in a block. -- ferret (talk) 15:27, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, you must get paid by Bethesda or then you're an absolute Bethesda fanboy. ComradeUranium (talk) 15:32, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wish Bethesda paid me. No, I'm just a Wikipedia administrator who understands our policies on verification and reliable sources, and has no interest in fan fights over which Fallout is better. -- ferret (talk) 15:43, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If New Vegas is considered a spin-off, wouldn't that make GTA: Vice City and San Andreas spin-off games too? ComradeUranium (talk) 12:41, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's what we call an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. Do reliable secondary sources call Vice City or San Andreas spin offs? That's all that matters. Whether or not New Vegas is considered a spin off is wholly independent from any other game or series. -- ferret (talk) 13:16, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fiat C Platform

Hello.

I apologize for the misunderstanding about the edit war in finnish Wikipedia, It was an unexpected misunderstanding.

From what has been understood about the C1 chassis, there is confusion between chassis, platform and suspension, which are different words.

It's one thing to have a different suspension, and another to be derived from the C1 platform.

Therefore, Type Two rev 3 is part of the C1 platform of Bravo/Brava/Marea & Multipla, the suspensions would be different.

I ask please, if you could be kind enough to stop reverting for something that doesn't make sense.

Because the C1 platform, Both from C1, originates from the first generation Fiat Tipo.

I would think the suspensions would be different, but not the chassis.

Kind regards. Flexingflex1224 (talk) 19:11, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the 156 platform is only loosely based on the C1 platform with completely different suspension setups, longer wheelbase etc. The Alfa models and Lancia Lybra are NOT based directly on the C1 platform so C1 models shouldn't be added to related models. ComradeUranium (talk) 19:45, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone,

I’d like to clarify the relationship between the Alfa Romeo 156 and the Fiat Marea platforms.

I expressed myself poorly.

Based and shared aren't the same thing, considering they share a platform with different suspensions.

I meant to say:

Fiat Marea – shares a common lineage through Fiat Group’s Tipo 2 (C1) architecture, though the Alfa Romeo 156 features a heavily revised chassis and suspension unique to Alfa Romeo.

While it is true that the Alfa 156 is not directly based on the Fiat Marea’s C1 platform, both cars share a common architectural origin in Fiat Group’s Tipo 2 platform family (sometimes called Tipo 2 rev. 3). Alfa Romeo made extensive modifications to the platform for the 156, including:

• A longer wheelbase
• A unique double wishbone front suspension (versus MacPherson on Marea)
• A multi-link rear suspension (versus torsion beam on Marea)
• Structural reinforcements and use of different materials for improved rigidity

This means the Alfa 156 platform is loosely based on the C1 platform but is a heavily revised and specialized version, designed to meet Alfa Romeo’s handling and performance goals.

For reference, Automotive News Europe (2003) states:

“Fiat's C-segment models, including the Marea and Alfa 156, share the Type 2 platform, albeit with Alfa-specific reinforcements and suspension systems.”

(https://europe.autonews.com/article/20030630/SUB/306300819/fiat-platform-strategy-remains-fragmented)

Therefore, including the Fiat Marea as a “related model” is appropriate if this nuanced relationship is made clear, to avoid suggesting a direct platform derivation.

Thanks for considering this clarification! Flexingflex1224 (talk) 21:31, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What I was saying was that they share the same platform, but with significant differences in the suspension and other aspects. There was just a slight misunderstanding in the way I phrased it at first, but what you meant to say is that they share a common foundation (the C1 platform), and while they're not identical, they're closely related because of that shared platform.
