My Citation Needed tag was reverted[edit]
By User talk:ScottishFinnishRadish as 'nonconstructive'.
I added this tag, because the definition in the opening two sentences of what constitutes a remote starter is overly general and may be inaccurate. The opening two sentences read as follows --
A remote starter is a radio controlled device, which is installed in a vehicle by the factory or an aftermarket installer to preheat or cool the vehicle before the owner gets into it. Once activated, by pushing a button on a special key chain remote, it starts the vehicle automatically for a predetermined time.
So here are my objections --
1) A remoter starter can be, but isn't required to be radio controlled. Examples being systems that operate strictly from a timer, a program or sensors which start the vehicle based strictly on temperature or battery voltages.
2) There are other reasons to remotely start a vehicle other than to pre-heat or cool a vehicle. Examples being to allow computers or other electronics to be booted and to come to a state of readiness before the operator or occupants enter the vehicle.
3) Pushing a button isn't a requirement for initiating a remote start (see #1 above).
4) Any remote doesn't need to be 'special' or even a part of a 'key chain' (in the case of a phone application, or a remote starter that works through the vehicle's factory key remote. for example).
I hope this explains why I feel the citation tag was appropriate. 57.135.233.22 (talk) 17:10, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Your disagreement with the content is not a reason to place a citation needed tag, that's a completely different concern. MrOllie (talk) 17:40, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Fine. If the claims made can't be backed-up with citations then I think they should just be removed. 57.135.233.22 (talk)
