User talk:Apex-LW'21

Welcome to my talk page!

Please post on my user talk page (not my user page) if you want me to delete any outdated / unrelated articles or any unused images existed in sgWiki. Also, please provide the links to the uploaded images (if any) when requesting to delete the articles.

I will review the pages first before I will delete, but however, should any of the pages that requires cleanup or is sufficiently related, it will not be deleted, unless there is a reason to believe that the article is the above-mentioned. Pages (including its talk page of a current page) which are blanked out, unanswered or remained for a certain prolonged period will be deleted in the event of any routine house-keeping or cleanup in sgWiki.

If your account is mistakenly banned due to posting of false or unrelated information, etc, please ask the administrator who had originally banned you by writing on the user's talk page to appeal, unless if you are mistakenly banned by me. If an information is mistakenly marked as false statement, you had to clarify with the administrator and provide justification that the information is true and accurate. However, the decision will be made by the administrator and the decision of the appeal is final, after the investigation is complete.

Do note that the successful appeal of the ban (only for those accounts banned by me) can only be done once. Once the ban appeal is successful, you are to comply with the sgWiki Guidelines. Appeals for repeated bans will not be considered.

The appeal procedures will also apply to the warning points imposed to the account.

If any articles or uploaded photos are deleted by mistake, please use my talk page to appeal. Please note that any deleted articles/photos will be subjected to further review and decision. This appeal only applies to articles/photos that were previously deleted by me. If you wish to appeal on any articles/photos that were previously existed in sgWiki that were deleted by any other administrators, please write on the respective talk pages.

Any accounts that are in severe violation of the sgWiki Guidelines will not be unbanned. Please ensure that all edits and articles are complied with the sgWiki Guidelines.

If your account is being affected by any Autoblock function caused by the user being blocked for spam advertising, etc, please use my talk page so that I can remove the Autoblock.

For any Captcha issues, please refer to the administrator 'Jason' by writing on his talk page.

For bus-related pages, if you find any mistakes in any pages (only those edited by me), please use my talk page to point out the mistakes and clarify with me. I will make the necessary corrections as soon as possible.

Mercedes-Benz O530 Citaro new batches

Is there any confirmation whether the new batches are officially being delivered and registered? SBS3107H^talk 19:10, 6 May 2015 (SGT)

There may be no actual confirmation, but as I mentioned in your talk page, someone have already checked the VINs of Citaros registered as SBS6866E onwards for production batch and SBS6550R onwards for BSEP, noticing that the chassis numbers are far off from those registered before SBS6865H. Also, there are interior differences in buses registered from SBS6866E onwards as compared to Batch 2 buses.

VIN

Regular batch

SBS6814E till SBS6818U: WEB62808323125496 till WEB62808323125500
SBS6819S till SBS6821J: WEB62808323127675 till WEB62808323127677
Noticed the bold numbers, there is a big gap in between SBS6818U and SBS6819S but still in the same SBS Transit 2012 purchase.

Now using an online VIN decoder for SBS6865H, SBS6866E & SBS6876B (3 of them for comparison)

SBS6529D: WEB62808323127674
SBS6509L: WEB62808323127678

As evidently stated above, the closest to SBS6550R (28581) is SBS6509L (27678).

Regarding interior

It may be the way to differentiate a batch and another batch I guess ... SBS3107H^talk 17:17, 7 May 2015 (SGT)

In any way, it is better to wait until 250 Citaros are registered for this round to confirm. --ASA1234 (talk) 21:56, 7 May 2015 (SGT)
