Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! — Diannaa (talk) 20:57, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

- Hi Johannes, I would like to refer to the wiki page for the Honda S90 Honda Sport 90 which I used as a reference, apparently to literally as other then technical data for the specifications this articles two references 1 and 4 refer to webpages without any form of secondary sources, the first a cut and paste from a custom shop doing modifications to older bikes and the second from "Steve's" personal web page both with no references to the facts stated as to original production or mechanical design.
- 1. Manu. "Honda Sport 90 Café Racer by Deus Ex Machina". Moto Rivista. Retrieved 18 November 2013.
- 2. Honda S90 Shop Manual.
- 3. Honda S90 Owner's Manual.
- 4. Steve. "Honda S90 - Introduction". Retrieved 18 November 2013.
- Maybe you could suggest why their spurious references are better then my two sources
- 1. Honda 50.55 Sports Model C110, C114, C115 Owner's Manual, HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. 1966
- 2. The Book of the HONDA: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE OF ALL 50 c.c. SINGLES UP TO 1966, AND TWINS UP TO 1964 BY JOHN THORPE
- The first specifications from the manufactures own publication and the second from a known author and publisher of technical books contemporary to the period these bikes were in production?
- Nevertheless I am however going through the draft and will submit with rewrites of the introduction and image captions, but it's hardly worth the effort of searching for primary or secondary sources(with references) if I just need to pick some arbitrary "facts" off the web with no credible source noted.
