German

edit

Wasn't Gerald Wiegert from an German immigrant when he started Vector Supercars, as I read it somewhere in a book. WilliRennen 22:42, 25 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

I mean, was a German immigrant...

No, you are thinking of the holding company that forced Wieger out. Karrmann

Vector

edit

I'm removing everything regarding the Vector company as well as the Vector cars, as it just duplicates info from their respective articles, and add nothing about Wiegert himself. Pc13 08:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Attempting to remove editorialism, repair massive style problems

edit

I'm going to be editing this page even more heavily; the remaining bits include opinion language "He's a world class grifter" that is not only out of bounds for any reference work, but potentially actionable. Additionally, this piece needs to have the mechanics tightened up; contractions are a nonstarter in Wikipedia articles. P.F. Bruns (talk) 23:37, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

NPOV

This article is clearly biased and has probably been edited by the man himself - just look at the quotes and the Aquajet section - basically an advertisement. 69.116.91.38 (talk) 18:03, 22 August 2009 (UTC) This Article is very biased. Gerald Wiegert has been collecting money from people for years, he brags about 8 million being invested to build his new car. He hasn't built anything since the early 90s in regards to Vector.

I think I've managed to catch the worst of the unsourced claims and pulled out the promotional quotes. Not sure if it's enough to remove the POV tag though...--Jezebel'sPonyoshhh 20:36, 28 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Aquajet website

edit

Is the Aquajet website legit? I think it's fake. --Christian140 (talk) 16:27, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
