RE: Honda S2000 (super late reply)

Hi, I deleted it because in my opinion the cars on Wikipedia pages should be stock. And if you really have to include a modified version of the car, please pick something that isn't an eyesore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Baconskate (talk • contribs) 04:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

That makes complete sense if it was just some picture of a modified vehicle, but it isn't. It's a picture of the subject of the article used prominently in a major motion picture. This brings notability to the article. Notability is a major factor here on Wikipedia that determines whether an article should exist or not. In my opinion, it is that reason alone which is good enough to make sure the images is kept on the article. It has, in fact, been there for years with no editors contesting it for that very same reason. I hope this clears us why the image exists in the article, but please let me know if you have any questions. Also, if you would like to continue to contest the image, I would suggest you start a discussion on the S2000 talk page so that we can see what other editors opinions are and build a consensus on what to do about the issue. roguegeek (talk·cont) 01:36, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

RE: Honda S2000

Ok I get that, but shouldn't it be notable because its a great RWD sports car, not because it was in some movie? And why the pink one instead of this one: http://imcdb.org/i008539.jpg ?

Top Gear

I will be glad to discuss things with you, but I request a formal apology for this line first:

Firstly, you aren't going to be banning or blocking anyone, so don't threaten with that. You aren't an admin and there isn't a single admin that would ban for what's happening here.

I am a bit perplexed at how you berate me for acting in bad faith and then pull a stunt like this.--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 07:54, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Still waiting for that apology....--293.xx.xxx.xx (talk) 02:29, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, this is Mr. Stradivarius from the dispute resolution noticeboard.

As such, I would really appreciate if you could comment on the thread. Here's the link again: Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard#Top Gear (U.S. TV series).

Orphaned non-free media (File:Hamilton.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Hamilton.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:02, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

'WikiProject: BMW Motorcycle' Proposal

Dear Roguegeek,

Having seen your edits with regards to BMW motorcycles, I would like to make you aware that I am currently this new WikiProject would have the primary aim of creating and developing a page for each model (both old and new) of BMW motorcycle produced in the company's history. This would enable a highly valuable resource to be for both enthusiasts and restorers such as myself to be created, where extensive information about specifcations, development, modifications and the history behind could be found. Not only this, but it would encourage motorcycle enthusiasts, who would not normally have used Wikipedia, to both use its resources and to contribute to the project's pages, becoming part of the motorcycle fraternity which would be the driving force behind this community. Once this task has been completed of English Wikipedia, I, with help of other editors and members of the project, would like to then translate the pages into other languages (particularly German, in order to make the resources available in Germany, where many BMW enthusiasts and restorers are concentrated), and so contribute to the wider Wikipedia group. The WikiProject, would also contribute large numbers of pictures to Wikimedia, as part of its galleries.

In order to promote the group and encourage the growth of the articles in our scope, the WikiProject is not only being promoted to present editors who are currently active editing articles on BMW itself and motorcycles in general, but also notify groups such as the Vintage Motor Cycle Club and the BMW Club in the U.K., which would encourage members (20,000+) to contribute some of the extensive knowledge of the topic which is demonstrated by members of these clubs. Members of the WikiProject who are active in clubs outside of the U.K., would also be encouraged to promote the Project to their respective society, making the WikiProject multinational. Current, more experienced editors, would then help the 'new boys' to use Wikipedia and share their knowledge, which has often been built up during the course of a lifetime of passion for BMW motorcycles. This would enable us, together, to produce a resource which will help generations long into the future and help preserve and catalogue BMW's legacy in the motorcycle industry.

Currently, there are no such WikiProjects which would be dedicated solely to the BMW motorcycles (not even BMW itself) and the development of pages on each individual model, in opposed to the current situation where some models are briefly referred on a BMW related page. This WikiProject would allow this community of people who are highly knowledgeable about this specific topic to develop articles in extreme depth, something not possible with larger groups, which could then be published on the world wide web, available gratis, as with all Wikipedia articles, to the public.

If successful, the idea could serve as a blueprint and be replicated for other motorcycle manufacturers.

Please visit the project proposal page, in order to see more details of the project and to join. Any questions or queries can be posted either on the proposal page, or I can be contacted directly on my talk page.

Many thanks and any help from fellow enthusiasts on this project would be greatly appreciated.

Edit warring

Your recent editing history at The Signal (film) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

I now explained you what you've failed to understand in first place, so you can safely now revert your misguided removal of sourced content. --Niemti (talk) 20:01, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
