COI notice

Ultra agressive guy, who blocked any news about technologies & news product.

I am an employee of Tableau Software, and from time to time I upload graphs created with my company's data visualization software. Credit (or blame) is mentioned on the file's description page; e.g. File:USA annual VMT vs deaths per VMT.png. Please let me know if you feel there is a conflict of interest problem. Cheers! --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:24, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

What I'm working on now

To do list for Wikipedia:WikiProject Motorcycling:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention: Article requests : See also: Wikipedia:Requested articles/Applied arts and sciences/Transport § Motorcycles Origin and disparities in technological advancements & infrastructure compared to automobile safety sector Social, economical and political aspects of safety work done by motorcycling organizations Greenhorn Enduro Motorcycle assassination [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Monobloc brake caliper Motorcycle shaft drive (redirect) Radial brake caliper[12] Sara Liberte photographer and custom motorcycle builder Ross Langlitz of Portland, OR, motorcycle racer and designer of the Columbia jacket Jack McCormack (motorcycling) first national sales manager for American Honda, then Suzuki, and founder of American Eagle Motorcycles (1967-1970).[13][14][15][16] extreme enduro Dick O'Brien Harley-Davidson racing team manager 1957-1983[17] SC-Project, High profile motorsport exhaust maker, especially MotoGP/Superbike Supermoto World Championship Supermoto of Nations Freestyle Motocross World Championship The following pages have many redlinks that need articles written: List of Grand Prix motorcycle racers List of Motocross riders List of Grand Prix motorcycles (also include expanding articles already linked) List of motorcycle manufacturers List of FIM affiliated federations List of Speedway Grand Prix riders(also include expanding articles already linked) Transatlantic Trophy, UK versus USA short circuit challenge Info needed on Armstrong chassis builders (CCM-Armstrong & Rotax-Armstrong). Bikes: Aprilia RS 660 Bimota Tesi series Butler Petrol-Cycle (Edward Butler (inventor)) Captain America (motorcycle) (redirect) (Easy Rider chopper). This could also be expanded into a bio of Clifford Vaughs[18][19][20], see also history of black power movement, SNCC, etc. I'd write Captain America (motorcycle) first, then spawn Clifford Vaughs article later. CRP Energica (an italian electric motorcycle) Curtiss Motorcycle Equipment Co (Glenn Curtiss) Ducati Superleggera (add to Panigale article) Harley-Davidson Model B Honda CB92 Benly 1958 Honda Dream 1949. dab page needs work; other pages need work Kawasaki GPZ750 Turbo Verify if it belongs on List of fastest production motorcycles, update navboxes Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 500 LTD motorcycle Kawasaki J 300 Kawasaki ZX-10R Verify if it belongs on List of fastest production motorcycles, update navboxes Moto Guzzi MGS-01 Moto Guzzi V7/Ambassador/Eldorado/850 Probably redirect all these to a single-page history of this series. Main articles on each one later, if desired.

Johnson Motors Inc. Clothing is non-notable and unsourced; it should redirect to Johnson Motors. Motus Motorcycles US manufacturer of Motus MST. Arlen Ness Enterprises(Company) US manufacturer of Arlen Ness. Motorcycle Magazines Dirt Rider magazine Cleanup : Talk:Motorcycle#Re-sort contents with Motorcycling article Move social/motorcycles+people content to Motorcycling, keep only machine/inanimate content on Motorcycle Big-bang firing order Template:Honda Offroad Motorcycles and related models such as the CR series. Is model code the clearest nomenclature to use? Leslie Graham Loh Boon Siew has refs, needs footnotes Malaguti Matchless need information moved to more appropriate articles Montesa Honda Snaefell mountain course article or section may need a complete rewrite Trail braking Could be a Good Article with very little work. Type 97 Motorcycle Ulster Grand Prix Velocette Wire wheels: Wire wheels#On motorcycles says only main article: Motorcycle construction#Wheels, but that is not a main article, it is a subsection. Bicycle wheel is a better article, but none of these 3 actually explains how spokes support the wheel pre-stressed w/compression.

You started a small thing at wp:blp1e and it seems likely to me that you have done something which will save many people time perpetually. Thanks for being the one out of the thousands of people who have read that to perceive the ambiguity which has caused so much confusion. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:49, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
