Duplicate images uploaded[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Vintagentbrooklands.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Pdobrooklands.jpg. The copy called Image:Pdobrooklands.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.

A tag has been placed on File:1913VelocetteModelA.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

DKW[edit]

I've reverted your changes about two-strokes in this article. Two-strokes have never been banned in the USA although environmental legislation has made it more difficult than it used to be to produce them. And the collapse of MZ was largely due to the major economic changes in East Germany after the fall of communisim, which bought hugely increased labour rates along with a huge number of other challenges that eventually proved too much for the company to cope with.

Citing sources[edit]

When you preview your edits and go to the Notes or References section of an article and see red warning text, such as here, you know you've made a markup error. It's best not to click "Save Page" until you've resolved the errors.

Wikipedia:Citing sources and Help:Footnotes have instructions on how to cite sources. There are many different ways, and none is really the preferred standard, so it's hard to figure out. You might think you've got it and then you come to an article that uses a different style and you get lots of red errors on the page and you don't know why. I used Harvard style on the land speed record article and that just made it harder for others. I'm going to convert it to the more typical footnote style.

The easiest and most effective thing is to not try to use any HTML or Wiki markup at all. It isn't mandatory for you to use hyperlinked references. You can simply write:

Cork, Ireland ... Joseph S. Wright ... Zenith JAP ... (Barnes, F.W. (25 Feb 1931), "Letters to the Editor", Motorcycling)

just like that, putting the whole reference in parentheses right there. It's not fancy but it works. Just remember that if you use tags like <ref></ref> or {{Citation}} and whatnot, you have to work out the errors before you save the page.

Questions? Just ask! --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:03, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dennis: HTML isn't my native language, and I frankly struggle at times to learn the protocols. The reference protocols especially are confusing; why is it preferable, for instance, for the references I've added to appear in the 'notes' section rather than in 'references'? vintagent 20:22, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's only preferable for the sake of consistency, but there are many things that matter more than consistency. A while back I changed that article to the Harvard or parenthetical referencing style, and so (all else being equal) it's better to stick with one style within an article. My reason at the time was that I was citing many different page numbers from one book, and I thought that was more practical. But Harvard style is confusing, and I regret doing that. So I'm going to switch it back to the style of just using <ref>...</ref> tags and a {{Reflist}} tag at the end, rather than the use of {{Harvtxt}}.

The main thing is to always include enough information to identify the source: Title, Author, Date, Page, etc. If you do that, somehow, some way, then anybody else can come along after and sort out the formatting. Having a citation at all is more important than how, or whether, you format it. You can also add extended notes and explanations in your edit summary, and on the article's talk page, clarifying what you meant to do so it's more easily fixed. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 23:40, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting units of measure.[edit]

According to WP:MOSNUM there should be a non-breaking space between numbers and a unit of measure such as mph. Furthermore it is recommended that you use the {{convert}} template to display both imperial and metric units of measure e.g. 123.4mph should be 123.4 mph, or better still use {{convert|123.4|mph|abbr=on}} to display as 123.4 mph (198.6 km/h). --Biker Biker (talk) 18:15, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

June 2013[edit]

Information icon Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Roper steam velocipede. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them, and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles, nor are such pages a forum. Thank you.

Provenance of Dodge Tomahawks?[edit]

I'm working on a expanding the Tomahawk article at Draft:Dodge Tomahawk and I was wondering if any of your contacts know what happened to the supposed 9 copies of the bike that are out there. One of them seems to have landed at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum, but I have nothing else to go on. Have any changed hands or been put up for auction? Also, do you know if any of them has ever been tested to any degree? I don't believe there's any record of one running at Bonneville, and I've seen forum posts about an attempt to make a demo lap at Daytona by a professional motocross rider, but it immediately flipped itself over when he tried to go. There's just one video I've seen of one at a track, only going straight, and not seeming to exceed about 30 mph.

Thanks for any help you can offer. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 02:01, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Royal Enfield[edit]

Are you happy that what you wrote accurately reflects the source material quoted in this change? This appears contrary to what I have in a 1996 magazine article, relative to the 1967 events, owning the rights and manufacturing spares from 1967 by Holder/Aerco. Looking at the two, it's unclear which is correct. The 1996 article contains an image (Motor Show-type which seems to corroborate their prose, and I am at a loss to explain why the article does not mention Holder/Aerco from 1967, if they were involved at that time. Thanks.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 13:31, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The court record states clearly the owner of the trademark was Holder; it's well known his father purchased the rights and spares, along with those of Scott, Velocette, and Vincent. He lost his court battle as he was not trading as Royal Enfield Spares Co, but Velocette Spares Co, as he still does today. Was it right he lost the fight? Probably just - he wasn't making Enfields, after all!

I hope this answers your question! I've interviewed Davod Holder and done the research on his claims, and the court case was mentioned in several motorcycle magazines at the time...

No, I'm just as confused as I was previously (only just found the mag to refresh my memory). I don't have access to a scanner, but will send you large .jpg image files to see the content yourself. My concern is about Velocette purchasing the Royal Enfield spares in a coup by Bertie Goodman in 1967, and then continuing to retail them as an income-stream with figures quoted, not Mr Holder senior (David Matthew Scott Holder would be 14 years old at the time). It's vague but implies Velocette, not the Holders, financially benefited for three years from 1967 until the financial failure of Velocette. It also states the name of the business that bought the Veloce Limited assets from the liquidator and continued to manufacture parts, again not Holder or Aerco, and presumably Velo parts, February to July 1971 (info provided to the interviewer by Peter Goodman). It's The Classic Motor Cycle, but a quick skim shows no author attribute. I've checked the British public records for Holder, Velo and Vincent - nice address, Meriden Works! rgds,--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 00:08, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I must apologize about the date of Holder's purchase! Velocette did indeed purchase the Royal Enfield name and stock initially in '67, to make extra money selling R-E spare parts. When Veloce went bust in 1971, Holder purchased the name/spares, which must have included Royal Enfield. I can ask David Holder for clarification on the deal, but you are correct in your reading of that period. vintagent
