Talk:Daimler Twenty-Two

Edwardian v Prewar

@Nigej: Can you tell me why Anyone might prefer this mistaken nomenclature which you have chosen! regards, Eddaido (talk) 08:14, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

@Eddaido: The issue is we had two near identical templates {{Daimler pre-war}} and {{Edwardian Daimler cars}}. {{Inter-war Daimler cars}} uses Daimler pre-war. Personally I don't care about the name, all I'm concerned about is that we should only have one, not two. I redirected Edwardian Daimler cars to Daimler pre-war to try to sort this out, but you're welcome to try another approach. All I would say is that "Edwardian" seem a poor choice since Edwardian is 1902-1910 and the template covers a much wider period. Nigej (talk) 08:24, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

@Nigej: I see I am on record as having created those templates seven years ago. I refuse responsibility for their names. I would suggest that someone is having a joke at my expense using them the way they were. Prewar means to me inter-war and Edwardian is the period 1901-1914 (not 1910 as you a traditionalist have indicated) – check with Wikipedia.

My complaint is the use of the name Prewar. Surely it means the 1930s.

Car production generally (except for war purposes - staff cars, ambulances) ceased in 1915-1916. A name needs to be developed to cover that period up to it. Prewar - no. I think Americans call it the brass era (noooo, pleazze) and the VCC matches it with Edwardian. Check me. Eddaido (talk) 22:30, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

@Eddaido: Probably the solution is just to use the years "Daimler cars 1886-1919" or similar. At the end of the day this is just a template name; it would be much more an issue for an article. Nigej (talk) 05:41, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
