message: Hi. There has been an ongoing dispute on Brother Speed Motorcycle Club with regard to the criminal history of the club. Several COI members of the club have challenged the reliability of some of the sources and have attempted to remove content. This is not really my area of expertise but perhaps you would be able to take a look and adress their concerns or find more reputable sources on the club's criminal history?

message: I have slightly revised and amended the Megola article. However, there remains one self-contradiction within the text, to which I do not know the answer. Each Megola has two fuel tanks: a main tank within its body, and a header tank above the engine. Early in the article, the text says that a hand-pump delivers fuel to the header tank. However, later on, the text says the header tank is gravity fed.
Megola built two models: touring and sport. Both descriptions of the fuel system could be true, if one model has a fuel pump and the other model has a gravity feed. Or it could be that both production models had the same fuel delivery system, but the prototypes had something different. A hand-pump seems more likely, as the header tank is mounted relatively high up, but that is only my guess.
Whatever the case, please will an editor with more knowledge or better sources resolve this? Thankyou, Motacilla (talk) 11:50, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Cheers. DN (talk) 01:50, 25 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm reverting back to the previous version with consensus per WP:BRD. So far, I'm not seeing much in the way of improvements here. It's been a few days and there hasn't been any additional changes to address the alleged "advocacy and trivia".  For example, how does adding a non-neutral descriptor, such as "controversial", to the lead somehow "Neutralize the obvious advocacy"? This is not suitable for the lead, as it provides no informative value and is purely an opinion. Writing that the term is "meant to convey" advocacy for universal background checks instead of simply saying what the higher quality sources say, also seems to utilize SYNTH. You have seemingly increased advocacy for a non-neutral tone by writing... "Because the term is one of advocacy, it is often used in ignorance of the current state of federal gun law". The italicized portion you added is clearly not reliably sourced. I will leave the banner to encourage ongoing participation. DN (talk) 05:00, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Citations 

message: I was first drawn to the section "History" by a newly added sentece crediting Jackson Beck with the voices of Perry White and Jimmy Olsen, as the latter was voiced by a credited—and acknowledged in the cast list further down the page—Jack Grimes. However, I further noticed the adjacent statement that Collyer and Alexander had previously played Clark/Supes and Lois, respectively, on both the old radio series and the 1940s theatrical cartoon shorts. Her participation in the latter is dubious, disputed, and not well supported, as can be seen at Talk:Superman (1940s cartoons). Admittedly a lot of what's there is my work, but I am not the only editor there who thoroughly disputes Alexander's involvement, nor even the first. We both do cite objective reasons for not believing it, and I am going to remove that part of the sentence here, especially since it is unsourced. Also, I know of no source that suggests that Alexander was replaced at any point in this run, so I will also remove Julie Bennett from the aforementioned cast list. [Oops! Just found the ref cite here for that; I'll just fix a slight spacing error in that and leave the statement in, of course.--Ted Watson (talk) 21:53, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

message: This series predates by several years DC Comics' ownership by Kenney (which later became Warner Communications). The credits for the show themselves say an "N.P.P.

message: Regarding the undoing of the "Further Reading" edit (not mine), this is The definitive history of the Panther. It should be referenced off this page. Trouble is where, since the whole content is relevant to the book. Perhaps right at the start. Or have I misunderstood the objection that Biker Biker has to this edit? Pyobon (talk) 15:47, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am aware of the publisher, but not the individual book so I defer to your knowledge of it. What I reverted was the addition of books by Panther Publishing to five different articles. If, as the contributor says, he actually owns the books then they should be used to provide specific inline references throughout the article rather than just add it to the further reading section. A bulk addition of the latter makes one suspicious of the contributor's intentions, while the former is best practice on Wikipedia and builds trust and respect from other Wikipedia contributors. Bottom line - this editor should "earn his spurs" and provide a few references from the book(s) in question. --Biker Biker (talk) 16:51, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Place of birth

message: Link above leads to a book with a lot of information about Barbara Nichols. With her trembly voice and vulnerable manner, she carved out a niche as a pop culture icon the way the Gabor sisters did. Nichols was in a surprising number of good movies, unlike the Gabors, but she didn't marry rich or famous men, as they did. She had a great role on The Untouchables, which helped kicked that iconic series off. A fine supporting actress-- though she didn't seem to be pretending to be the characters she played-- whose face, voice, and Guys and Dolls outer borough accent would be familiar to anybody who was alive during the Fifties, though nobody knew her by name, even then. There isn't a picture of her on Pinterest, and that's a shame. I had to Google "blonde gangster moll on TV" to find her. But here she is on Wikipedia.

message: I have a GPS TrackMaker track here which says the distance from the outlying Petro-Can along the Alaska Highway to the north tip of the train bridge in Carcross is only 60KM precisely. I undid the 74KM edit as a result. Google Maps says the trip is 72.4KM from Whitehorse to Carcross, but if you zoom in on a hybrid map, you'll see that their coordinates for the Klondike highway are woefully inaccurate and often go right off into the bush half the time. I wouldn't trust Google's measurements up there at all. That's enough to keep mine firmly on the road, at the very least. :) Kothog 06:04, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

It is true to my own memories of the program, but that is not relevant to my point.
