Hello Jasper Denney Welcome to Wikipedia! As nobody has welcomed you yet, I thought it only polite to do so myself. I just wanted to let you know that the article Definition of hybrid vehicle is the wrong place for that. Instead you should place the text in a user sub-page/sandbox. As a courtesy I have included the text of that article below. Here are a few useful links:

This is a placeholder created out of desperation since the Hybrid vehicle article's discussion was clogged with arguments on what constitutes a hybrid, and particularly on what a series hybrid is.
HowStuffWorks.com states simply, "Any vehicle that combines two or more sources of power that can directly or indirectly provide propulsion power is a hybrid."
Possible original sources of power include:
- Fuel
- Gasoline
- Diesel
- Hydrogen
- Electricity
- Solar power
- Regenerative braking
- Plug-in charging
Most people, including HowStuffWorks.com, are of the opinion that traditional diesel-electric locomotives are hybrids. But arguably their power comes solely from one source: diesel fuel. It's used to spin a generator to feed electricity to electric motors that propel the locomotive. The question is whether or not the generator or electric motors constitute a power source.

I created the titular article as a repository for all the comments on Hybrid vehicle that degenerated into arguments on what one was. The comment page was huge for that article, and despite being a Wikinewbie, I thought it best to move it elsewhere. Thoughts? CGameProgrammer 02:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- I understand, sometimes editors lose sight of the original purpose of Wikipedia. The best place for he text however is either on the Hybrid vehicle talkpage or on a user subpage. You can create a subpage for your userspace by editing the userpage -> [1] and then typing in the following -> [[/Hybrid vehicle]]. Save your userpage and you should have a redlink which you should click. It opens a blank page to which you can post the above material and then save the page. It will be linked directly to your userpage. Green Giant 02:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
