Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Buick Skylark, 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 your sandbox for that. Thank you. --Sable232 (talk) 23:22, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm kinda new at this....I haven't worked with templates, and wasn't aware I had removed any, sorry.

I don't think I found any info in error, but some I deleted wasn't directly relevant on the Skylark page and could be found on other Wiki pages cited.

It would be nice if you had contacted me before blowing away the work I did.....my time is just as precious to me as yours is to you! I could have added the reasons once notified. It discourages me from future editing. Gtofever (talk) 10:03, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Example: "Buick purchased back the tooling for the engine from American Motors, which acquired them when the company purchased the Kaiser Jeep division from Kaiser Industries." This is great info, but not directly relevant to the Skylark. It can be found by following the cited Wiki page for the 231ci engine; no need for it to lengthen the Skylark article, so I deleted it.

I support the "timeline" narrative, but I don't think mixing engine details in with other yearly changes belongs there. There is a separate "Engine" list further down the section that duplicates much of the narrative, and that is a much better place to collect the engine links/cites and details (power, standard or optional equipment & years). Even better, collect in a table as was done at the end of the Sixth Generation section. Gtofever (talk) 10:27, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
