::: If there's a theme to all these, it's that Luke is acting in an anti-knowledge direction. Taking the line, "If it's not a field in the infobox template, it doesn't belong" is either anti-knowledge or bureaucracy right out of control. This is the same thing across the gear ratios, the engine descriptions, the company names, the MG sub-models. He's getting a different push from different people for each of these, but the consistent factor is him trying to dumb articles down (read his comments on gear ratio), others wanting to keep detail. For the Corvette leaf spring article, this culminates in his view that the article was competently replaced by a one-liner stating "The Corvette had a leaf spring" and with zero explanation as to why.

::: It's also simply difficult to keep up with an editor (see the pre-war MG models) who makes rapid blanking changes, is challenged, but who then keeps making them. It's just quicker and easier to be that editor, so if they scatter-gun in half a dozen directions at once, the rest of the project is (and was) simply overwhelmed, without it turning into a simple tit-for-tat edit war. When that edit war did happen on the Corvette models, one editor was blocked for it, but it wasn't Luke.

*I would not have called Andy Dingley a pathological liar if it wasn't so clear that he was one. In almost every single discussion he's responded to me in, his responses have varied from obvious misdirections and misrepresentations to obvious lies. For example, any time any reverts happen, he always includes the very first edit as somehow being a revert - that's an obvious misrepresentation. Somehow, a selective merge and redirect counts as blanking an article altogether with no merging or redirecting. I'm pretty much done with Wikipedia now, because liars like Andy Dingley are allowed to roam around freely, stalk other editors (don't claim you didn't - you edited one article that was well outside of the usual areas we edit mere hours after I did, and it wasn't one that you would've come across any other way. That article is [[Black Square (painting)]] for anyone interested) and generally make every single discussion into a toxic shitslinging contest - most of which he starts, by the way. Dingley has had a grudge against me for a year, and he tries everything he can to kick me off the project simply because he doesn't like me.

*Other examples of lies and misdirections include claiming I removed content from articles where it was never in them in the first place (simply because I happened to remove such a thing from similar articles), filing a "3RR" case when I'd made two reverts, neither of which were the same and one of which I put back the disputed information, and regularly claiming that I want to "own" the WikiProject (obvious bollocks) and that somehow everyone was fed up with me when I'd just gotten a reasonable consensus from a discussion I'd started. However incivil my responses may have been (and I'd never claim they haven't been), it is infinitely less "civil" to stalk and lie about editors consistently.
