of Cotton (motorcycle) to see if you feel its now wiki-enough.. Seasalt 13:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
and Ducati_Apollo...bit hard to find matching wiki-links for that. But see what you think. Seasalt 13:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh god, not a literal peer review, just whether you think the tagging is adequate, or does it take a peer review to get a wikify tag off? I would not enjoy taking it off to see it promptly replaced. Seasalt 11:43, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Matchless has been changed, and would appreciate comments on what further changes may be needed. Have been going over my previous contribs adding inter-wiki links and citations. Even HRD. Seasalt 00:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Triumph has the same problem with BSA-Triumph, Norton-Villiers, and Norton-Villiers-Triumph all in together. Is this going to be equally applied? Seasalt 07:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there a time frame for this? By that, is this discussion likely to happen soon. Seasalt 13:13, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
It's the de facto standard for navigation boxes. Also it's better to define the appearance of such comment components in the stylesheet for various reasons (see separation of style and content). Thanks, ed g2s • talk 20:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
I found the article on country singer Craig Morgan's album I Love It, which you so kindly tagged as needing references, wikification, and expansion, through the "pages needing to be wikified" page. Although the farthest thing from an expert on this album, this artist, or even this music genre, I did some research and have done my best to clean it up. I removed the tags as well. If you would like to take a look and tell me what you think, I would appreciate it! Thanks, Emmegan 13:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I just warned an editor that you had already warned and I noticed that when you inserted the {{test1}} template, you didn't do a subst: on it. There's a bot that will do the subst: on warnings you have already issued, so no need to go back and redo those. -- Gogo Dodo 05:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there any easy way to check rider nationality? Re: 1947 Isle of Man TT , 1948 Isle of Man TT .
The Bob Foster wiki-article is about an American light heavyweight boxer, and not a British motorcycle racer, so I have used "A R (Bob) Foster".
On the Royal Enfield page, the section Royal Enfield Customs looks like thinly disguised advertising? Seasalt 01:28, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Speeds weren't in the page I copied as a template. Is there a template? Seasalt 03:59, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
With the difference between 1924 and 1950 format, what year should that change? Seasalt 04:11, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Speeds now in 1939 Isle of Man TT. Are split times/gaps necessary for new ones? Seasalt 04:48, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
No, just thinking about not including them in new ones to reduce the time involved. You're probably better for the intro piece, as it's yr special interest. Chromie McCandless: thought the McCandless brothers were Irish, or did Chromie ride for Britain? Do u know? Seasalt 10:34, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
There is a new move request and survey regarding Cork. This time it is proposed to move Cork to Cork (city) in order to move Cork (disambiguation) to Cork. You are being informed since you voted in the last Cork survey. See Talk:Cork. -- Serge 07:36, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
I removed the link between Gerald Davis, painter and Gerald Davis, philatelist. They certainly are not the same person. Fconaway 01:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Ramjohnholder.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

Yes, a big job referencing Ducati... (including stubs like Ducati 851 )
User:Seasalt/Ducati Sources shows the primary sources used in Ducati Motor Holding, Ducati Quattrovalvole motorcycles and Ducati V-twin motorcycles. If these are even able to be used, what format would i cite them in? The citing sources page hasn't made it any clearer. Seasalt 12:08, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
Noted citation needed on New Imperial Doug Prentice Lightweight win. The citation was at the end of the next sentence, but I have duplicated it at the location requested, and added a second reference. Seasalt 12:06, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
The second source is the New Imperial Owners Association.
The "mountain course" says "The Lightweight 250 c.c. Junior was a walk over for the Levis stable" in 1920. Sounds to me like a name change. I have had no answer from IOM TT site to this posted question: http://www.iomtt.com/forums/thread/64372.aspx, nor to an email on same sent to their contact.
He was obviously the first 250 cc to come in. He is listed as tenth outright in the Junior for that year. This repeats itself with other makes claiming 250 cc wins in the same fashion. Even if these results are "unofficial" they have been recognised and used......and get a mention on the iom tt site as well.
Shouldn't that make the "An extra Race was effectively introduced on the first Race day of 1922, Tuesday 30th. May, by splitting the 250 c.c. machines away from, but run simultaneously with the 350 c.c.'s" unverifiable too? Some sites, while present are hardly active, and I rarely get an answer to such queries. What is needed is an old TT racer or TT history buff that was around then. I don't suppose you know of one by any chance?
Obviously the author saw no contradiction in his piece...? I just had an idea. It wasn't referred to as a TT. Not all races at iom are TT races. The "new" race was when it became a TT race. They are not in the TT database because they were not TT races. There was no TTrophy for the race. Surely that's it. (?)
Still prefer it with-held?

From: Talk:Isle of Man TT#Pre 1922 Lightweight 250 c.c. Junior at IOM The first 250cc Lightweight Race was first run in 1922. The 1920 and 1921 Junior Races had a seperate 250 cc class but appeared to run concurrently. In 1920 R.O Clarke was fourth in the Junior TT Race but, finished in first place in the 250cc class. For 1921 Doug Prentice was 10th in the Junior TT Race, but finished first in the 250cc lightweight class. ( Agljones 12:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC))
Found it. This is all quite clearly explained on Isle_of_Man_TT#The 1920's There is no verifiability problem if this page is correct. Seasalt 13:15, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I am beginning to write an article about David Feldman on fr.wiki (both the man and the auction company. Have you some informations and sources about the man, please ? And what was/is the impact on Irish philately of his Handbook of Irish Philately ? Have a nice sunday. Sebjarod 08:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for straightening the Saarinen image. I've tried to do the same with the John Surtees image with no luck. Any help would be appreciated! Orsoni 04:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
I moved it from the List of Grand Prix motorcycle racers article, because it didn't really belong there. I've reverted the IOM TT article on your suggestion, because I agree with you. Readro 16:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I replied to your comment on Johann Kaspar Zeuß on my talk page, but just out of idle curiosity...
I was doing a few edits connected to pages linking to St. Mary's Cathedral, Limerick and I was wondering if perhaps there should be a category for places featured on Irish stamps? ;o} Flowerpotman 03:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Peer Review What does that mean? What are "GA" and "FA" status? Jeff dean 18:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
Seegon has posted a brief note at Wikipedia:Peer review#Motorcycle, but with this on his user's page "The other thing I like to waste valuable time doing is the occasional spot of heartbreaking at peer review." one might not take him seriously. Seasalt 05:55, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
That units device of Bobblewick has been incorporated into http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:AndyZ/peerreviewer.js , but this does it slightly differently. It fills the space between the numbers and units e.g. It had a 61.2 inch wheelbase, and weighed 596 lb (270 kg). There seems to be a no whitespace rule for units. It does make errors in its other changes...it changed sqfour.html into sqf tour.html, so there is a need to check its highlighted changes. Also it does not activate untill a second set of clicks are applied, in Mozilla at least. I have applied it to Ariel Square Four and Ducati Apollo. I see the fill in does not show despite nowiki, needs viewing in edit mode to see (in Mozilla). Seasalt 11:19, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Probably just babbling about something u might not be interested in, but these tools have taught me things, even if they do have bugs. Reading up on peer review, came across the above tool, gave it a try, and found the list of suggestions informative, and tried its auto-format. If it had been of interest, I would have been interested in your "review" of what it does. Seasalt 02:27, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for wikifying G80. Got up this morning, already done. Regarding above: there's so much of this detail format stuff to remember or become aware of that I found that tool helped more in the short term than the official help pages. Still plenty I do not know. Happy New Year. Seasalt 01:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
You redirected to Fenit. I have been inputting basic information on several local topics, and building slowly on the initial entry. Please revert to my original entry. I will work on perfect formatting later. Thanks - MOC —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fenitharbour ( talk • contribs)
Thank you for the corrections to Dingle Marina. I generally work late at night and go back and edit later - if it has not already been edited. Maybe its a messy way to work!? Michael O' Carroll 23:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, to be honest, i'm not very familiar with motorcycles, I just saw it and thought it was an interesting vehicle deserving of an article, but if you come across any other interesting microcars/enclosed motorcycles you think I might be interesting in working on, feel free to drop me a message and i'll think about it! Thanks -- feb talk 02:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I've added an intro to List of Irish flat horse races and its equivalents - an explanation of the different "Groups" can be found in the article Conditions races, which I've linked to in the new intros. -- Zafonic 21:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi ww2censor.
Thanks for the welcome message. As posted next to my name on the project page, I am mostly an interwiki linking user (specially fr/en) and a big fan of the Biker Build-Off TV show. I've already updated the episode guide which was a great way to create a mini-portal dedicated to custom and chopper bike designers. I don,t have that much time to spend on Wikipedia these days but since I was already browsing the Internet while watching the show, I just took things one step further ; )
I've also already noticed a few bike designer names will have to end up on a disambiguation page and I must admit that the work I've done so far is a little rough on that front.
At the same time, since it had been a while since I actively contributed, I've made a few beginners mistakes which resulted in multiples consecutive edits of the same page (bah, it's the end result that matters right?) and the creation of a duplicate category (see Category:Motorcycle builder). I must admit that it was my understanding that category names should be singular instead of plural but maybe it's just on the french Wikipedia.
Anyhow, thanks again for the welcome and sorry about the duplicate category.
Ciao. Stéphane Thibault 05:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and sorry about not reading your message about replies before posting... See the kind of mistakes I told you about?
I reverted some unsourced information about socio-economic problems in the article about Bray, that you had deleted. I'm finding sources at the moment. Not all edits by unregistered users are false! So far he seems to be correct, I'll add sources soon, when I have found good official ones. -- Jackaranga 15:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I added a source, its from the | Website of the National Documentation Centre on Drug Use -- Jackaranga 15:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
No offence taken. For new editors it's just a learning process but doing work will give you experience. If you do something very wrong you can be pretty sure someone will revert your work. You may also want to read up on some of the Policies and Guidelines that were posted on your talk page in the welcome from User:Safemariner. If you have any questions, just ask. Cheers ww2censor 16:19, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
I started this translation because several people have discussed (on Talk:Xueta) the need to do this. I am placing it in encyclopedia space because I do not want anyone else to feel inhibited from collaborating on what will doubtless be a difficult undertaking, which I certainly will not complete entirely on my own. This is done routinely by projects such as WP:SPATRA, in which I am quite active.
Please see my remarks at User:Jmabel#Looks like I will be far less active on Wikipedia. I've been active in Wikipedia for a long time. I am still interested in the project, but am frankly sick of the increasingly legalistic atmosphere. If you want, you are welcome to nominate what I just started for deletion. Please be aware, however, that if you do so, I will yet further decrease my participation in Wikipedia. - Jmabel | Talk 05:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ww2censor. Many thanks for reverting the edits to Ennis by User:A bit ifffy, who of course is not actually me but an impersonator. Cheers, A bit iffy 20:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I have just created the Coliban Water article and it now has been blocked because of a supposed infringement of copyright.
Coliban Water is not a commercial organisation and there should be no issue with using this text. I work for this organisation and my only intent was to have a presence on Wikipedia. I would like to have access to this page again so I can suitably alter the current text. I do not which to write this from scratch again. Pprevos 05:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia.

Hi i too am a stamp collector but am about to sell off my collection its getting too big! I have about 70 albums from countries Abu Dhabi to Zululand! I see that pages are gradually being set up for each country but do you think it would be a good idea to eventually have a different page for each stamp issue or at least for each year in the country in question with each stamp and issue pictured and discussed and analysed? If this were allow to develop each country could have its own stamp category organized by year. I am thinking of doing this on here for Abu Dhabi. 1964 -1972. WHat do you think? Many countries have produced so many stamps that you can't discuss them all on on page! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
First of all I think each of the 700 or so enties should have a page discussing the stamps but imagine the potential of how it can develop. Eventually it could be built to have a page on each issue!! or each year by country illustrating all of the issues - but unlike Stanley Gibbons could give a lot more info -and its free!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
No problem with your edit on my user psge. ColinBoylett 15:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, seriously, what did I do wrong? I used the sand box and still, I got a third-level warning for "nonsense". Please reply W00FD0G 02:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I am quite new to all this. Indeed I do work in advertising, but it wasn't my intentsion to make Wikipedia into one, perhaps I need to read a bit more into unbias writing for once!
I fully understand what you are saying in relation to the articles, and I will try my best to ammend them to the required spec's. I'll have a look at other pages and see how best to reword and format the HASOI article! -- HASOI2007 19:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC) B Smith
Just left you a message there. -- Abu badali ( talk) 14:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks -- feb talk 02:37, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I've added an intro to List of Irish flat horse races and its equivalents - an explanation of the different "Groups" can be found in the article Conditions races, which I've linked to in the new intros. -- Zafonic 21:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi ww2censor.
Thanks for the welcome message. As posted next to my name on the project page, I am mostly an interwiki linking user (specially fr/en) and a big fan of the Biker Build-Off TV show. I've already updated the episode guide which was a great way to create a mini-portal dedicated to custom and chopper bike designers. I don,t have that much time to spend on Wikipedia these days but since I was already browsing the Internet while watching the show, I just took things one step further ; )
I've also already noticed a few bike designer names will have to end up on a disambiguation page and I must admit that the work I've done so far is a little rough on that front.
At the same time, since it had been a while since I actively contributed, I've made a few beginners mistakes which resulted in multiples consecutive edits of the same page (bah, it's the end result that matters right?) and the creation of a duplicate category (see Category:Motorcycle builder). I must admit that it was my understanding that category names should be singular instead of plural but maybe it's just on the french Wikipedia.
Anyhow, thanks again for the welcome and sorry about the duplicate category.
Ciao. Stéphane Thibault 05:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and sorry about not reading your message about replies before posting... See the kind of mistakes I told you about?
I reverted some unsourced information about socio-economic problems in the article about Bray, that you had deleted. I'm finding sources at the moment. Not all edits by unregistered users are false! So far he seems to be correct, I'll add sources soon, when I have found good official ones. -- Jackaranga 15:19, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I added a source, its from the | Website of the National Documentation Centre on Drug Use -- Jackaranga 15:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
No offence taken. For new editors it's just a learning process but doing work will give you experience. If you do something very wrong you can be pretty sure someone will revert your work. You may also want to read up on some of the Policies and Guidelines that were posted on your talk page in the welcome from User:Safemariner. If you have any questions, just ask.

I started this translation because several people have discussed (on Talk:Xueta) the need to do this. I am placing it in encyclopedia space because I do not want anyone else to feel inhibited from collaborating on what will doubtless be a difficult undertaking, which I certainly will not complete entirely on my own. This is done routinely by projects such as WP:SPATRA, in which I am quite active.
Please see my remarks at User:Jmabel#Looks like I will be far less active on Wikipedia. I've been active in Wikipedia for a long time. I am still interested in the project, but am frankly sick of the increasingly legalistic atmosphere. If you want, you are welcome to nominate what I just started for deletion. Please be aware, however, that if you do so, I will yet further decrease my participation in Wikipedia. - Jmabel | Talk 05:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ww2censor. Many thanks for reverting the edits to Ennis by User:A bit ifffy, who of course is not actually me but an impersonator. Cheers, A bit iffy 20:27, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I have just created the Coliban Water article and it now has been blocked because of a supposed infringement of copyright.
Coliban Water is not a commercial organisation and there should be no issue with using this text. I work for this organisation and my only intent was to have a presence on Wikipedia. I would like to have access to this page again so I can suitably alter the current text. I do not which to write this from scratch again. Pprevos 05:32, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi i too am a stamp collector but am about to sell off my collection its getting too big! I have about 70 albums from countries Abu Dhabi to Zululand! I see that pages are gradually being set up for each country but do you think it would be a good idea to eventually have a different page for each stamp issue or at least for each year in the country in question with each stamp and issue pictured and discussed and analysed? If this were allow to develop each country could have its own stamp category organized by year. I am thinking of doing this on here for Abu Dhabi. 1964 -1972. WHat do you think? Many countries have produced so many stamps that you can't discuss them all on on page! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 16:13, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
First of all I think each of the 700 or so enties should have a page discussing the stamps but imagine the potential of how it can develop. Eventually it could be built to have a page on each issue!! or each year by country illustrating all of the issues - but unlike Stanley Gibbons could give a lot more info -and its free!!

No problem with your edit on my user psge. ColinBoylett 15:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok, seriously, what did I do wrong? I used the sand box and still, I got a third-level warning for "nonsense". Please reply W00FD0G 02:43, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I am quite new to all this. Indeed I do work in advertising, but it wasn't my intentsion to make Wikipedia into one, perhaps I need to read a bit more into unbias writing for once!
I fully understand what you are saying in relation to the articles, and I will try my best to ammend them to the required spec's. I'll have a look at other pages and see how best to reword and format the HASOI article! -- HASOI2007 19:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC) B Smith
Just left you a message there. -- Abu badali ( talk) 14:24, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Interesting. I was taken to the cleaners by Ed g2s recently for this article being too long. So I chopped it mercilessly. And now it's a stub :) Jeff dean 18:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
