Sartuni Peer Review

• A more relevant topic would be used cars rivaling new cars. Car manufacturers will be in trouble if the quality of used cars on the market is near the level of a new car AND the price is significantly better then new car prices. The article does propose that consumers wanted better/ more fuel efficient cars at a lower price point.

Used Car Sales As new car inventory builds up, a manufacturer will be more likely to create incentives for customers to buy. His competition responds and does the same. Used car values are impacted greatly and drop in price. J.D Power Used Car Values The drop in price for used cars has the following effect: customers who didn't want to buy an automobile with the label "used" now reconsider their positions. Offering heavy incentives to help clear excess inventory actually made the situation worse. I thought the view of used cars and their impact on the crash was underrepresented in the article.

• Some sections of this article are outdated and are in need of a follow through. One particular section is France/Germany, it references past action in the future tense.
• The article also overstates that Al Gore's film had a significant impact on the Automobile industry crash. The crash of the 2008 automobile industry was also resultant from bad bank loans and decline in sales from fuel inefficient cars.

SubPrime Auto Lending The chart and data come from The Federal Board of Governors in St Louis. The value of auto loans dropped from $825BN to $698BN in a period from 2005-2010. A loss of $127 billion due to bad banking practices. Al Gore's 1st film generated Domestic:$24,146,161, his 2nd sequel film generated Domestic: $3,496,795. Box Office for 1st film Box office Stats for 2nd film Strictly from a monetary view, the impact of these films are a drop in the bucket compared to subprime loans.

Page move

After moving the page per MOS:DOB, I broke the archive box somehow. (I've added in a regular archive box as a temporary remedy.) If someone could fix it, as well as deal with any other unforeseen consequences of the move, that'd be great. Bobbychan193 (talk) 04:00, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

A book copied from this Wikipedia article

As far as I can tell, the following book copied from this Wikipedia article: Goel, Suresh (2009). Gupta, Pranav (ed.). Crisis Management: Master the Skills to Prevent Disasters. New Delhi: Global India Publications Pvt Ltd. ISBN 978-93-80228-08-2. OCLC 435375995.

It appears to have copied from the article on or after 16:54, March 16, 2009 UTC and before 17:38, March 23, 2009 UTC; I cannot determine it more precisely than that because I currently only have access to the book through Google Books, which limits which pages I can view.

I tried searching the book for "wikipedia" and got no results, so I suspect that it is violating Wikipedia's copyright license by copying it without attribution. However, there is a 4-page bibliography that I do not currently have access to, so I am unable to definitively confirm this.

Should I request a copy of this book through inter-library loan to confirm these details?

Is there anything further I should do about this?
