Heyo. Just a heads up, I reverted one of your edits on
Motocross. I'm pretty sure when you were reverting the vandalism you accidentally reverted a good edit. In other words I think you reverted a revert that was reverting vandalism caused by someone reverting a constructive edit... of a revert...
Sorry just had to make that a little funny. Anyway, good work reverting the vandalism!! :-) --

I thought I'd try to work things out with you, before taking this further. Your behaviour recently has been uncivil and aggressive, a violation of Wikipedia's No Personal Attacks policy. It appears to me that you are trying to steer me away from editing at Volkswagen emissions violations, where I have been working to keep our article within policy.
Looking at your contributions to my talk page:
Please refrain from posting on my talk page. If you wish to advise me of actions taken at WP:3RRN or WP:ANI or elsewhere where it is customary to advise all parties to a discussion, that is fine, but if you wish to attack me under the guise of spurious warnings, you will find your own conduct the focus of wider attention.
Turning to your 3RR noticeboard complaint here, you mentioned my name three times in your initial complaint, which is clearly not a breach of 3RR. However the first mention was not a revert, and the third mention was exactly the same diff as the second. So, one revert. You failed to warn other editors (more irony!), you failed to follow the template for providing diffs, you failed to notify the users you listed until prompted two and a half hours later, you failed to provide any evidence that any of the five editors you named had made more than one revert. Not surprisingly, the complaint was closed as " No violation". I suspect that this was an attempt to shut other editors out of discussion so you could edit the lede to your own preferred wording when advised by several others that we could not state in Wikivoice that Volkswagen had acted illegally.
Looking at the message mentioned earlier, the history there is that here you said in direct response to me,
I suggested on the article talk page that we should focus on content, but on your talk page I said:
No apology, just a glib response, but more stalking, harassment and edit-warring on your part, as listed above. Including your " warning" me of uncivil behaviour in relation to your "m*********" comment.
Dennis, this is good advice right here. Stop attacking me and other editors. Stay off my talk page unless you are leaving a legitimate warning. If you want to discuss article content, do it on the article talk page. If you have a problem with my conduct, take it to the appropriate forum. If you are trying to get my goat, it's not going to work; I'll just assemble evidence and let others comment on your behaviour. You were warned about this a week ago. Think carefully about your contributions here. Thank you. -- Pete ( talk) 09:11, 4 October 2015 (UTC)
You indicated I needed a citation to support the changes I made to the Bertha Benz article... the changes were so obvious and easy to verify I didn't think a citation was required.
A good citation/source is www.daimler.com
http://www.daimler.com/dccom/0-5-1322446-1-1323352-1-0-0-1322455-0-0-135-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html
I changed the ages of Bertha Benz' 2 sons from 13 and 15 to 14 and 15 as indicated on the Daimler.com page (there was no citation for the incorrect existing information, by the way).
And I changed the date of the journey she made in the Mark III version of the car to 1888 which is the correct year... the existing article says the trip happened in 1886 but there is no citation for that, nor can I find any source that says the trip happened in 1886. The 1886 car was indeed patented in 1886. But that original vehicle was driven by Carl Benz ONE time only (according to a German manager at the Mercedes Classic Center in Southern California as recorded on video in one of Jay Leno's Garage videos). The famous trip from Mannheim to Pforzheim did not happen for 2 more years after the original car as documented on the Daimler.com page and every other reference to that journey that I can find. EVEN THE REFERENCE TO THE BOOK 'WHO DID WHAT FIRST' that is cited on the Bertha Benz article page refers her trip taking place in 1888 (not 1886 as the article currently states). So does the German Government route page for her trip... 1888 and it is also one of the Notes/Citations on the existing page. Not sure I should have to provide MORE citations when the citations already there agree with the 1888 date... but whatever. I have never seen any references to the Mark III car existing in 1886. The caption pertaining to the Mark III car refers to 1886, but the Mark III car did not exist until 1888 and that was the version of the car Bertha Benz used to make the trip to Pforzheim. One of the external links does say the sons were 13 and 15, but I have to assume that Daimler knows the history better than abcteach.org or whoever created that particular document. But EVERY source says the trip happened in 1888... so the changes I made were already covered by existing citations in the Bertha Benz article.
I cannot find "page history" where you said the changes I made were saved, so I can't figure out how to restore what I did. I'm not a frequent Wikipedia contributor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.151.9 ( talk) 01:15, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, please point me directly to the style you're referring to so I know where I am? As far as I can see it complies with:
"See also" section[edit] Shortcuts: WP:ALSO MOS:SEEALSO WP:SEEALSO For "other uses" templates (such as this one), see Wikipedia:Hatnote. See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Embedded lists § See also lists Contents: A bulleted list, preferably alphabetized, of internal links to related Wikipedia articles. Consider using {{ Columns-list}} or {{ Div col}} if the list is lengthy. The links in the "See also" section might be only indirectly related to the topic of the article because one purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics.
Editors should provide a brief annotation when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent, when the meaning of the term may not be generally known, or when the term is ambiguous. For example:
Related person – made a similar achievement on April 4, 2005 Ischemia – restriction in blood supply Whether a link belongs in the "See also" section is ultimately a matter of editorial judgment and common sense. The links in the "See also" section should be relevant, should reflect the links that would be present in a comprehensive article on the topic, and should be limited to a reasonable number. It is also not mandatory, as many high-quality and comprehensive articles do not have a "See also" section, although some featured articles like 1740 Batavia massacre and Mary, Queen of Scots include this section.

not sure if I am doing this rite its all new to me but I have a question about editing the zx12r page I owen one and would like to add my manufactures manuel as a source on specs like weight and length and such and also how to use internet sites as reference thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72bikers ( talk • contribs) 21:11, 30 October 2015
I would like to know why you removed the top speed listing from the zx12r and zx14 page? They are both listed here on this site Fastest production motorcycle as being the fasted current production bikes in there years produced as list 2000 to 2005 for the 12 and 2006 for the 14. They did not break the record of the 1999 hayabusa speed of 194 mph but they were faster than later model hayabusa and there was a note stating they did not break that record. But were the fastest in there time produced. Burns, John (April 2, 2012), "Fifty Years of "Do You Have Any Idea How Fast You Were Going?" A brief history of Ludicrous Speed", Cycle World, retrieved November 5, 2012 This is a reference I think you know. To be fair you would have to remove it frm the MV Agusta F4 series page as well. It is on the list as a records holder but I feel that is inaccurate because it only went 193 and as even in its name of 312 witch is to ref yo its speed of 194 that only ties the hayabusa not beat it. but would make it the fasted bike in production for its year but not fast enough to take the title from the 1999 hayabusa. Even on the list it only went 193.24 mph so if this is allowed to stand why not other bikes on the that list? That have a credible source of reference I feel this is unfair! If that list can be posted why are those bikes on the list not allowed to post that information? This site is for facts not opinions rite but just facts as stated in there references so why deny the facts ? You are withholding facts from the encyclopedia if that fact can be listed on one page here then why not on a other page here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72bikers ( talk 21:47, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
But we have had this list like this for a few years, and the presence of the Werner Motocyclette, Excelsior V-twin, Brough Superior SS100 Alpine Grand Sports and others has not caused any huge problems so I think the explanation of why they're on the list is clear enough. Note that in the case of ties, all we have is a footnote for the 1972 Laverda SFC and Moto Guzzi V7 Sport on the BSA Rocket 3/Triumph Trident, saying these bikes could also go 125 mph, though none of them are record-breakers. For consistency, we should only have a footnote for the Kawasaki ZX-12R, ZX-14, and BMW S1000RR, since they are all in the same bag of non-record breakers that go up to 300 kph and no faster (give or take an insignificant margin of error).
The BSA Rocket 3/Triumph Trident, Norton 650SS, Brough Superior SS100, and the other also-rans don't have a navbox at the bottom. Just the record breakers. So calling out the ZX-12R and ZX14 would be giving them undue attention. It's important to note that bikes like the Vincent Black Shadow, Kawasaki Z1, Kawasaki GPZ900R Ninja and the Suzuki Hayabusa are quite famous for their speed. They're bikes that non-motorcyclists have heard of, read about in books and seen in films, because they are noted for being speed record breakers. The ZX-12R and ZX-14 are not all that famous, because they are not unique. They are just one of several pretty similar bikes with similar performance. We'd be misleading readers if we put a fastest production motorcycle navbox on them as if they were equally important. The only bike that we can honestly call the successor to the 194 mph Hayabusa 1999-2000 is the 2007 MV Agusta F4 R 312.
Remember, other editors might disagree with me and support your position. But if you discuss it here on my talk page they won't even know about it. The best place to discuss List of fastest production motorcycles is at Talk:List of fastest production motorcycles so that you have your best chance of including everyone in the discussion. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:31, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
ok I think most of what you are stating is just your opinion and not based on fact. The list is for fasted production bike for any one year as well as fastest production bike of all time! And there were notes stating these facts. There was no deception ! To deny readers of this information is censorship! there are multiple references that can be read for these two bikes to be on the list. But what about MV Agusta F4 R 312 its references can not be found only motor cyclist and they only make reference to 194 but not that they actually went 194. So how is this left to stand on its page? And on the list here it does not state they tied the hayabusa but beat and surpassed it as to there page! And you are rite this is bigger than the two of us but I am writing here because you are the one that removed these facts from there pages. And the zx12r has been in movies Biker Boyz .And in numerous reviews by many publication. And in numerous user created youtube videos .While its production run was short it was the only competition of the hayabusa .The cbr 1100 xx was only really in competition of the zx11.That has been stated in many reviews. The list here on Wikipedia is not the only reference to these bikes being the fasted available production bike for the year listed. [1] And that is all they stated on there page! Please do not censor these bikes! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72bikers ( talk • contribs) 21:16, 2 November 2015 (UTC) The successor to the ZX-11-and continuing a long heritage of Big K roadburners-the ZX-12R has been arguably the most anticipated (and controversial) bike in recent memory.anf often said to be the cause of the brought about gentlemen's agreement.

I proposed the deletion of the Lossa Engineering article, because I assumed it was not really notable and probably some COI self promotion. Judging from the pictures of bikes on your user page, I'm guessing that you know more about the bike industry than I do (I know nothing) Are Lossa Engineering well known enough to have an article? I honestly have no idea. Is it something worth working on and turning into a decent article? Spacecowboy420 ( talk) 05:52, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

I edited the image caption in Motorcycle training ( 693199028 undid with your 693212436) that you reverted. My intention was to reword 'factory-sponsored' since this is not really a correct description of what is depicted. I'm aware of HART's relation to Honda since I've used their services before, and I believed that my rewording came closer to an accurate description without unnecessarily getting into details. I'm curious as to how I might correct the caption without incurring your wrath. -- 210.153.142.230 ( talk) 04:19, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

I will disagree with you, when I see (what I consider to be) errors or room for improvement on articles. I do respect the amount of work that you have put into bike related articles, I just think that there is no such thing as a perfect article. I hope we come to the conclusion that with cooperation, debate and dispute, the end result with be better articles for the reader. I'm pretty confident that our goals are the same here, unbiased articles with good content for readers. Spacecowboy420 ( talk) 07:28, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Stephen Powers VAIN gallery graffiti wall in Belltown, Seattle.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nthep ( talk) 14:20, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Dodge Tomahawk shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
