I made a few minor edits on Wikipedia.. and had a bounceback from a mod that I needed to cite references... because wikipedia doesn't approve of "hearsay".

They're going to have a problem then, 'cos a lot of our knowledge hasn't been written down anywhere. ;-)

We may need to start the 'Wikipedia verification' thread, where we write the same thing here, so that it can be cited as a reference on wikipedia :-)

Looks good and a lot better than before, I will dig out my Aero book as I think some little bits could do with an update to make it sound a bit more impressive that it currently does..
When the Aero was first released it was touted as Morgans first supercar, so I feel the document should reflect just how impressive a machine this was, rather than starting with a negative on the headlight styling. IMHO of course there are some very interesting aspects that could be added.

Whats best just update the document linked?

I also have some Series 1 pics I am happy for you to use, do I just drop some into word for you to choose?

Ok so I have made a few changes direct on WikiPedia, noticed a few typos so corrected those, also alligned the formatting across the document and added some additional information.

Quick question to the experts - how do you add images? I have some examples but no idea how to add them.
How do I add a book to the references? I went to edit the bibliography but I have no idea what to type in there to make it show the book, details are below:

Morgan Aero 8 - A Brave and Exciting New World by Gavin Farmer
Publisher - JohnGHenry
ISBN 978-0-9570223-1-7

Thanks! cheers

I haven't sort it out yet. And I read somewhere that wikipedia is pretty picky with images.
I am a newbie as well and I am learning by trying.

Turns out you need a Wikipedia account to add images, so I have just signed up.
Looks pretty simple after a bit of research, do you have any images in mind? I have a couple but keen to discuss as a group!
