Welcome to the Talk page for Wayne Corporation.
A few suggestions for getting to WP:GA:
I haven't read the whole article, but if I get a moment later I might go through and make a few cosmetic changes. You might like to try Wikipedia:Peer review for further ideas. Joe D (t) 00:46, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Image:1944 Wayne Works advertisement.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 00:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to explain the reasoning behind some of why I tagged the article in places. As it is mentioned in other places on the talk page, it is a bit on the long side (there is plenty of information and I won't complain about that).
I do have a couple of proposals, though:
All in all, the Wayne article is still the most thoroughly-written article on a school bus manufacturer on Wikipedia. SteveCof00 (talk) 10:26, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Recently, I just gave the Wayne Lifeguard its own article...it probably needs a little editing work, but for the most part it is ok. I just created a page for the Lifestar, but I haven't moved it into articlespace just yet, as it needs some sorting out to be done to it before that can happen. Once there are meaningful sub-articles to the main Wayne page, then that can be pared down a bit. SteveCof00 (talk) 04:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
For the most part, the article's reformatting is mostly done with one minor exception which I am posing here first for discussion. The subsections with content about the development of school bus yellow and school bus warning light systems are fairly well-developed. There is one small problem...as written, they don't seem to have anything to do with Wayne Corporation history. These would be good candidates for deletion unless they have something that needs to be tied in with the company history. As the article re-formatting is mosrly done now, it is best to get started on improving the verifiability of the article.
Other things that might need to be done in the long-term:
I'll try to keep working on this page some more in the future. --SteveCof00 (talk) 09:35, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The image File:Crown by carpenter logo.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

For the most part, what I tried to do was better adapt some of the earlier content into the timeline, as well as source things a bit better. As some of this content is somewhat irreplaceable, I tried to preserve what I can and limit the changes to what i said above, and make some MOS adaptations and citations. In addition, there are some relevant photos that have been added to the Commons more recently since this article has been worked on.
This still needs a little bit of work to go, though. --SteveCof00 (talk) 10:41, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
