Elon Musk

Is it possible for you to remove the edit of Grimes pregnancy deformation from Elon Musk's page? He has never stated he was the father. No news articles to confirm this statement validity, or to confirm the source of information. Interstellar20 (talk) 13:17, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

I have changed the statement from "Grimes has confirmed that Musk is the father." to "Grimes has stated that Musk is the father." Seems relevant under the family section. I believe Rolling Stone is a credible source. Rolling Stone states she was making the statement from one of Elon's homes, so apparently they still have a relationship. Elon has not denied being the father. Other news organizations such as USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/03/05/grimes-explains-profound-decision-have-baby-elon-musk/4968546002/) have picked up the story. Is there some standard for when and whether to make these types of paternity statements?

Help me!

Please help me with... Converting a section of a page to a new page.

BACKGROUND I believe it's time for Redwood Materials to have its own page, rather than being a section of the J. B. Straubel wikipedia page.

However, I can find no information on how to convert a section of an existing page to be a new page.

Solarwinds

Hi, I'm sure your edit was well-intentioned, but you made a change to the infobox that isn't supported by the cited source. The edit looks OK otherwise. Please could you have another look, and put the infobox right, e.g. by supplying a source that does corroborate the claim? Thanks, Zazpot (talk) 03:18, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Tesla Model Y

Hi, regarding the Model Y article, I added the full price of the other models including the $1200 delivery fee, please let me know why you reverted my previous edit, why don't we want to show the full price? The $1200 delivery fee is not optional, and publications like Car and Driver routinely include the delivery fee in their price information. Thanks!! Jalapeno19104 (talk) 18:48, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Business insider not a great RS according to HAL333. The truth seems to me to be correct your contribution and the use of this reference but according to this user (HAL333) your contributions are not good because of the reference. I'm sorry they don't consider your contributions to Elon Musk's article. --JShark (talk) 03:17, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

ADAS

Hi @ReferenceMan, I saw that you recently edited the Advanced driver-assistance system page and I had a couple of suggestions to add.

In the 'Concept, history and development' section, it could be useful to explain to viewers who the main industry players are - namely Mobileye, Bosch, Continental, and Denso. It is generally understood that Mobileye is leading the market with 70% market share (https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertdefrancesco/2023/12/26/mobileye-revs-up-innovation-in-autonomous-driving/?sh=19150c586727).

In addition, the 'ADAS levels' section seems a little outdated and could benefit from the new information added to the Self-driving car page about Mobileye's method of classifying the levels. Presenting the information in a table could also be more beneficial than just one big paragraph of text.

Note - I'm employee of Mobileye and have declared my COI. Gideon at Mobileye (talk) 11:42, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
