Subject: [Naming conventions] Incorrect spelling/listing
I was looking through the list of Pontiac vehicle model names ( http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-Pontiac.html ) when I noticed a bunch of mistakes. Instaed of writing a comment for every mistake, I tought I should just list them here, and when an admin. such as antp had some extra time he could fix them. Among the errors for Pontiac there are these:
1. There are 3 different spellings for "Parisienne" with P-A-R-I-S-I-E-N-N-E being the correct one.
2. There is a "Grand Am GT" listed as a seperate model, while the "GT" should just be part of the trim level and not show up in the model name
3. There are 2 different spellings of Bonneville, with B-O-N-N-E-V-I-L-L-E with two "L"'s being the correct one
4. Some wagons are listed as "Safari Wagon" some are simply "Safari" some are "Wagon" some are "Station Wagon" and some are "Grand Safari". If I am not mistaken, all Pontiac station wagons should be listed as simply "Safari" or "Grand Safari", as Pontiac called all of their station wagons one of these two names
5. There is a "Starchief" and a "Star Chief" with "Star Chief" being the correct one
6. There is a "J-2000" and a "J2000" with "J2000" being the correct one
I am sure there are many more mistakes like this for other makes, but this is all I could find for now. I may look for more mistakes in the future and I will list them here as I find them.

I've found some myself.
1)Three International Harvester Loadstar 1700's are misnamed "1700 Loadstar."
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles_make-International+Harvester_model-1700+Loadstar.html
2)There are also three S-1900's that are mislabled "1900-S's".
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=International+Harvester&model=1900 S&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on
3)Outside of I.H.C.'s there are plenty of Ford F-Series trucks from the 1950's that have single-digit designations before 1953, and triple-digit designations after 1952, both of which are incorrect.
This one,
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_123110-Ford-F-1-1954.html
is an F-100, not an F-1.
This one,
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_164306-Ford-F-100-1951.html
is a 1952 F-1, not a 1951 F-100.

The make Åkerman is listed under the letter A here: http://www.imcdb.org/makes.php
But it's correct here: http://www.imcdb.org/movie_323998-Smala-Sussie.html

You mean that it should be at the end of the list?
Actually the make list uses general latin sort, but vehicle sort uses mysql4 default sorting, which seems to be Swedish.
The problem is that there is no "European" sort to handle accents of various languages correctly together

If it is one small mistake like that, do as you prefer.
If you have a list of corrections or that many cars have same error, posting here is better.
In comments on the site, other admins may see it faster, but on the other hand if nobody sees it (it happens) it will be missed. Here on the forum as there as less stuff to read and that the info are separated in topics, I will probably not miss it.
