Photos
Hello, thanks for your help so far and for adding your photos. Just wanted to let you know I removed some of them as the focus was on the flowers rather than the coasters so they didn’t add much to the article. That being said please keep adding photos you take, just make sure to focus the camera on the coasters rather than the flowers 😃 Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 21:58, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Totally get it. I'll remember that! Thanks Gtccoasters (talk) 00:13, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
Wilhelmsbader Karussell
Hello thanks for adding all these pages! Just wanted to let you know I added a couple references to Wilhelmsbader Karussell. If you could add the websites you use as references that would be very helpful so other folks can se where you got the information from. You can do it using the “cite” button in the editing toolbar. Let me know if you need any help with it. Thanks Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 19:34, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
SDC
Hello! For SDC we formatted it without the dots because their marketing materials such as those on Dragoon (SDC model) show the logo without dots. I'm not sure if they also spelled it with dots, but it's easier to type the version without. Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 12:09, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
Country/state category
Hello! Just a heads up - you don't need to add the country/state categories to articles. The infobox will add those automatically 👍 Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 23:51, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hahaha, I totally realized that after doing it about 50 times in a row! How convenient, thank you! Gtccoasters (talk) 05:41, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- No probs, yes a lot of these things aren't very obvious at first Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 17:38, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
W.F. Mangels Company
It probably would be best to have this page at W.F. Mangels as most pages link to that title already. I usually leave out "Co.", "Ltd." etc unless the company name clashes with something else (for example Alpine Slide, LLC). What do you think - should I move the Mangels article?

- Personally, I think W.F. Mangels Company is best to keep as it is the full name, but it also differentiates the company from William F. Mangels, and W.F. Mangels would imply he worked alone. I would leave as is, but if you'd like to move it for simplicity I understand. Gtccoasters (talk) 17:46, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I will leave as it is for now. It may make sense to leave it if we do make an article for William F. Mangels (which would probably also be called W.F. Mangels...) Lachlan (Talk | contribs) 18:09, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
