Honda C70 vs CD70

The Honda C70 as offered in USA and Canada was a step-through "cub" model, not a "sport" frame. You can see pictures of this model at [1]. The most comprehensive listing of the North American models can be found at [2]. The step-through C70 was also called the Passport. The CD70 was never offered in NA. Can we make that distinction in the Honda list and in the article on the CD70?
Cheers,

Scan and upload

If the posters were created by the motorcycle manufacturers then they could be tagged {{promotional}} and could be used only in articles about the model of motorcycle or maybe about the manufacturer. If they posters are from some other source then they may not be useable as fair use. -Nv8200p talk 13:53, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Honda CD200 RoadMaster

I deleted the bikez.com and bikepics.com links as possible spam. The bikepics.com link might could stay but the the bikez.com link has annoying popunders.

Need advice please

I think the edits made to your original text are OK. The information seems accurate and matches the specs at Suzuki. Words like "legendary" show bias and POV and should be removed. -Nv8200p talk 21:20, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just add the information back into the article and reference the source (Top Gear Feature, I'm guessing) in your Edit Summary. -Nv8200p talk 22:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe the specs you want to put back in are subjective and not objective. If someone else did a road test, would it yield different results? -Nv8200p talk 22:17, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd suggest you read Wikipedia:Resolving disputes and follow the steps. I am not a good third party for this discussion as I don't know anything about motorcycles nor am I much interested in resolving disputes on articles about motorcycles. - Good Luck Nv8200p talk 14:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nv8200p, thank you. This is exactly the point I've been trying to make to user Fireblade. If you have 10 different tests doing the exact same thing, you're going to have 10 different results. I have told him a couple times already that it's best to just stay neutral in these instances. I've pointed them several times to policies on WP:RS and how to properly cite sources WP:CITE, which they haven't. I'm simply at a loss of how to handle the situation. I will continue to edit based on policies set forth by Wikipedia and continue to point Fireblade to these policies when he does have a disagreement with my edits. The one thing I wont do is revert to the personal attacks Fireblade is now making. I've warned them and pointed them to this policy also. Roguegeek (talk) 00:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Improper signature usage

Why are you improperly signing all of your signatures? There are very specific guidelines dealing with this exact issue. Please read Wikipedia's policy on signatures. It clearly states the following:

"Signatures that obscure your account name to the casual reader may be seen as disruptive."

It's very obvious your signature goes against this policy. Please make changes as needed before continuing to sign with improper signatures. Thank you. Roguegeek (talk) 05:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please not it uses the word "MAYBE" and its clear no one is trying to obscure anything, its a matter of choice. I leave rest to the people reading this to se the obvious as I dont have to state it (fireblade)

No personal attacks

I'm not fond of having to explain the same thing twice, but I've been doing it for you in discussion pages because it's going to help everyone if you understand certain Wikipedia policies. This one about "no personal attacks"... I'm only going to say once.

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Talk:Suzuki GSX-R1000. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Roguegeek (talk) 00:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly and I totally agree with you and hope it goes both ways. And just to clear the confusion I was just stating the facts on your page thanks (fireblade)
You wont have to worry about it. I've read the policy many times. Actually, you are only allowed to put warnings on talk pages if they are legitimate. Since I haven't done any personal attacks against you, it would not be a legitimate warning. Wikipedia considers this WP:VAND vandalism of another users page and I would be allowed to remove it and report the incident. Vandalism is another policy I would suggest you read up on because the admins here are very strict with it. Thanks. Roguegeek (talk) 07:41, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a difference between stating facts and Personal Attacks (fireblade)

Do not remove warnings

The edit in question is shown as a DIFF here. Roguegeek (talk) 07:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
