Should Talk:Cleveland_CycleWerks/Workpage be deleted now? — Brianhe ( talk) 17:51, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
I'm really, really, really sorry. I think that is officially my low point on Wikipedia. I think the humiliation will serve as a lesson. – Kerαunoςcopia◁ gala xies 17:57, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
Our club would please ask that no one else place our logo on this website! Thank you it has become a problem of the wrong people using this logo to cause us some issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1002:B117:4E9C:E8FA:254:F812:DC5E ( talk) 03:59, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Technically we aren't supposed to put categories on redirect pages (I got schwacked for this at John Spartan and a couple others).. I'd like to make a separate page for it. There's already enough information for a stub, and a few other easy to find references like a Motorcycle Classics article. Before starting, do you have materials in your personal library that state the actual name of this bike? It looks like it might be Morbidelli 850. — Brianhe ( talk) 21:12, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
What do you think of this? "Did you know that the same motor that made Glenn Curtiss famous as "the fastest man alive" on his V-8 motorcycle also powered the first aircraft to publically demonstrate heavier-than-air flight in America?" — Brianhe ( talk) 20:17, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
For me the most extraordinary facts are that it was a V-8, and that the record was widely publicized and accepted as legitimate, even though it was "unofficial". Meaning that the first "official" record was slower, and didn't break Curtiss's record for 30 years. Giving the surprising graph that goes up and then down and then up again. Perhaps DYK that "... Glenn Curtiss became "the fastest man alive" for going faster than anything on land, sea or air on a motorcycle with an aircraft V-8 engine, setting an unofficial record that stood for 30 years ?" It's [1] characters. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 20:49, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
In case you missed it, the nom was accepted and the article is in queue. I believe it should be on the front page at 9 am local time tomorrow, although without the picture. Brianhe ( talk) 22:34, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
Oops! My mistake, sorry. If you want to create a disamb page, that's fine with me. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 18:05, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
I'll probably promote User:Brianhe/Bub 7 streamliner to article later today. If you want to have a chance to look at it, critique, make amendments, go ahead. — Brianhe ( talk) 16:39, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed the infringement banner that was added to User:SammyBoy82/sandbox today. I believe that he is doing a school project which involves Wikipedia and meant no harm. I'll straighten out the situation! Thanks for notifying! Deneille Rochelle ( talk) 22:51, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Declined your speedy deletion tag — I checked several source pages, and none of them appeared to have the text that they were being used to cite. Did you mean "Each piece of text on this page is taken from the page that it uses as a source", or did you mean something else? If the former, please show more clearly what you mean; and if the latter, please explain what you do mean. Nyttend ( talk) 05:29, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
![]() | On 6 April 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Curtiss V-8 motorcycle, which you created or substantially expanded. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Curtiss V-8 motorcycle. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Just noticed this issue. In the introductory prose, the article seems to say Ack-Attack took the record on 25 November 2010, but the table says 25 September. Is this a misquote or am I missing something? Likely to get high attention today as it is linked from the front page DYK section. — Brianhe ( talk) 17:59, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lino Tonti, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Benelli and Two-cylinder engine ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Howdy! I would like to invite you to again join with a local edition of the Great American Wiknic this June :) Also, please add any preliminary details to Wikipedia:Wiknic#2013 Wiknic.-- Pharos ( talk) 17:22, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
Hey there, I saw you tagged National Marine Fisheries Service as "needing a photo", how crazy becasue I literally just found some pictures of them working that were taken by the USAF. Needless to say I promptly uploaded them to Commons (since they are in the public domain after all) and added them to the article. Cheers! — - dain omite 02:39, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
Would you kindly explain this edit. [8] Yogesh Khandke ( talk) 04:24, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
In my opinion, if you come across a Wikipedia article on a topic you're unfamiliar with, you should not be so quick to start wholesale deletions until you have read the Wikipedia articles, and done a quick Google search. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 17:45, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Dennis, you removed my contribution re Mamas & Papas. Perhaps I should not have titled it ==Legacy==, but rather ==Trivia==, which it what it is - information that is not important, but adds a lighter side. Many articles have a section called ==In popular xxx== or ==In fiction==, etc, which include information such as this. It was a perfectly valid entry. Regards, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia ( talk) 14:47, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
I'd recommend proposing an addition at Talk:Hells Angels and seeing what other editors think. If consensus supports it, who am I to stand in the way? -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 17:34, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Dennis. Odd that we should 'meet' again so soon after the Mamas & the Papas. Some IP has been doing some vandalism on themes that I work with (not motorcycles), so I checked some of his other edits. I am talking about user IP 62.242.1.150. I see he added a substantially large amount of text [ [12]] to James Steward Jr, while at the same times he has made a number of unconstructive edits such as [ [13]] on the same page. I have no knowledge of the subject and seeing that you have visited the page thought you might be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. The user has a long record of warnings [ [14]]. I am mindlful of the fact that it could be a shared IP. Thanks, Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia ( talk) 11:50, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Was just bored looking around & saw this... While I agree that it could be a shared IP, and there has been a long gap between the previous vandalism in late 2011 (and indeed ANY contribution from that IP of any kind) and now, it's very strange that this significant amount of seemingly good faith text was added to the article from the same IP as the vandalism to same article. the MO of the vandal appears very similar to the previous malicious edits done from this IP so at the very least I'd suggest it requires a warning of some sort. I don't know if the IP has ever been blocked before now as I haven't yet read all of it's talk page posts, but perhaps a 48hr would be appropriate to show the vandal that previous "work" hasn't been simply forgotten? I say this because I feel that this may be the start of a flurry of malicious edits from this IP, as has happened before. Anyway, you know I'm new to WP and not completely au-fait with procedures so I'll leave it to others to decide but just throwing my thoughts out there. XJ750E-IIbloke ( talk) 13:15, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
Aah yes, I see how to check now! perhaps a short block would be more appropriate than yet another warning if any more vandalism is done by this IP then.

I'd love to see all the extreme sports bios page protected. It would save a lot of pointless reverting. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 23:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
Messer died today. I added info from the NYT obit, but if you have time, see if there is anything else to add. All the best! -- Ssilvers ( talk) 03:04, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

I am at a loss to understand your revision of 14:48, 27 May 2013 . Surely my legend to the Triton is more informative than the half -baked "steel framed Norton Triton" you have reverted to? Norton Triton?! Call it a tubular steel featherbed frame if you like, but don't just dumb it down. Your comment: "Triumph Trophy has a tubular spine frame" leaves me nonplussed. No-one has mentioned a Trophy!! I merely deleted the Honda cub reference as it in NOT an example of a pressed steel frame. And why restore the Pressed definition to the "the frame is mass-produced by sheet metal pressed or stamped into shape. Typically a single-cradle structure is used", which is plainly incorrect. A pressed frame virtually never has a single cradle structure (and though often mass produced) is not inevitably so. Arrivisto ( talk) 17:35, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
