GA review 1 edit
I'm going to quick fail this article as it comes under number 2 of Immediate failures. It contains 82.5% copyrighted material.
See here and this was the number before edits by Akrasia25. uniquecarsandparts.com.au is a well established and fairly old website.

- I will remove and rewrite article. Thank you for your time and review.--Akrasia25 (talk) 15:58, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Sure, I know that it's an accident. This has happened to me many times but I don't want anyone to come and sue the editors. But note, it was 55% copyrighted before you, so someone else also has accidentally done it. AussieCoinCollector (talk) 04:25, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
- You are too kind. Happy New Year to you. It is such a cool car. I think I added the text thinking that a future owner would need to know this stuff before it is lost. I also know that WP is not a manual. TIL how to use EarWig.--Akrasia25 (talk) 19:25, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Rewrite of article to remove copywritten material edit
I think that I have cleaned it up. I am not sure what is the next step. Does an admin look at it now and copy the text over to the article? The rewritten article is at Talk:Chalmers Automobile/Temp--Akrasia25 (talk) 03:01, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
I'm not too sure but I think yes. AussieCoinCollector (talk) 06:18, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
@Akrasia25 Nice work, see here AussieCoinCollector (talk) 07:10, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- Rewrote article to remove copyright material. See User_talk:AussieCoinCollector#Chalmers_Auto for consensus to edit. Also Earwig [1] shows 13% which is now just lists of models or a street address. Thank you to AussieCoinCollector for encouragement.--Akrasia25 (talk) 15:51, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- No worries, hope your also doing good and stay COVID safe. Wished the entire world's COVID status was like Western Australia AussieCoinCollector (talk) 23:14, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
Merging with Maxwell Motors edit
Both the Chalmers and the maxwell pages are bothe stated as being taken over by walter chrysler and show chrysler sales figures after the purchase. i think either thez should be merged or a separate Maxwell-Chalmers page should be made as they were known after the merger of chalmers and maxwell upto the dicontinuation of the chalmers brand.[1]
- Strong oppose. Both firms had independent histories for much longer than the brief period that they were merged before becoming Chrysler. There is a high enough amount of content in both articles that merging them would be disastrous; it would be needlessly difficult to find information and it would not be a benefit in any way to Wikipedia readers. --Sable232 (talk) 21:15, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
- Strong oppose. As the author of many of the edits on this page, I have looked at this over the last month to think of a way a merge could work. The transition period is very confusing from the sources. I put the Chrysler sales figures in there to show how Chalmer's factory transitioned over to Chrysler. The financing alone between the companies would make the article unreadable. --Akrasia25 (talk) 21:32, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
