I don't think this person's subject line makes any sense, but his content claims are surely worth an investigation. It looks from the history as though there's an ongoing edit war, and so probably more eyeballs would be helpful. ----- Forwarded message from "Dr. Iris Steineck" <iris.steineck(a)aon.at> ----- From: "Dr. Iris Steineck" <iris.steineck(a)aon.at> Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2003 08:43:11 +0100 To: <jwales(a)bomis.com> Subject: donation to ferdinand porsche? article is not available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Dear Mr. Wales, My grandfather Erwin Komenda designed the VW-beetle and Porsche sport car type 356. I wrote this fact more than one times in the Wikipedia Ferdinand Porsche Article. ([[pl:Ferdinand Porsche]] '''Ferdinand Porsche''' ([[September 3]], [[1875]] - [[January 30]], [[1951]]) was a [[Ethnic German|German]] automotive engineer born in [[Vratislavice]], [[Austria-Hungary]] (now in the [[Czech Republic]]), who developed the original [[Volkswagen]] and a prototype of the [[Panzer VI]] [[tank]], which he nicknamed "''Tiger''". In [[1928]], Dr. Porsche developed the first workable [[hybrid electric]] car, proving it to be a workable concept. Despite efforts by hobbyists, this technology lay virtually unused by automotive companies until the [[21st century]]. Dr. Porsche's son was [[Ferry Porsche]], the developer of the [[Porsche]] automobile, which was based on the Volkswagen design. Both, the Volkswagen and the first Porsche sport car, the Porsche type 356, were designed by Porsche's longstanding chief designer [[Erwin Komenda]]. .[[Erwin Komenda]], the longstanding Porsche chief designer, developed the car body for the famous VW-beetle and Porsche 356. External Link: [http://www.komenda.at Erwin Komenda Porsche Designer] But every time I wrote this facts in the wikipedia article - the new written text is cancelled immediately. I can’t accept this fact. Because on the one hand Erwin Komenda developed the design of the famous cars and on the other this is no more a free encyclopaedia. So I wonder how this is possible. Have you got any donations for the Ferdinand Porsche article from Porsche or the Volkswagen-enterprise, what is wrong with that site? Best regards Iris Steineck ----- End forwarded message -----
