Talk:Triumph Bandit

Special Category for British Motorcycles

As part of the Motorcycling WikProject I am working though all the missing articles and stubs for British Bikes. To make things easier to sort out there is a special Category:British motorcycles Please add to any British motorcycle pages you find or create. It will also help to keep things organised if you use the Template:Infobox Motorcycle or add it where it is missing. I've linked the Category to the Commons Motorcycles of Britain so you could help with matching pics to articles or adding the missing images to the Commons. The people behind the bikes also bring it all to life - I've created the Category:British motorcycle pioneers so please have a look and see if you can add or expand any?

delete Failure sub section

There is no source for this unusual novel information which should be deleted. Commercial reasons are more often cited by sources: costed properly, the Bandit could not be produced at any or any sufficient profit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.101.71.153 (talk) 19:46, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

There is no place on Wikipedia for original research and unsourced content, so I agree that the section in question should be deleted - as should much of the other content in the article that is either unsourced or poorly sourced through unreliable sources (such as a personal account of the company's history from someone who was there, published on a bike club website) --Biker Biker (talk) 22:08, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

could you not have done it without losing the photographs ?! 77.101.71.153 (talk) 22:38, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Bikerbiker, with respect, I think you've over-reacted. If you look at the description of the bike's paint scheme, it matches the source material on the quoted websites of the restored Hyde bike and my photograph: it says nothing that isn't already there. I don't see why you had to delete the photographs , either. Before you start deleting things en masse, put it in the discussion page to sort it out as I have done. If someone had come up with a source for the starter motor story, they could have added it and thus answered my deletion query. Put the photograhs back, now there's a good chap. 77.101.71.153 (talk) 22:57, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Tidy up

Can the references be tidied up ? i've done a few references from each source- perhaps they can be listed more efficiently ? 77.101.71.153 (talk) 19:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
