| ==Motorcycle oil== | |||
| </div> | |||
| Hi. Why did you revert my edit to the "Motorcycle oil" article? The text is somewhat misguiding and confusing. For instance, there is no such thing as a "weight" oil, the "W" in the SAE designation stands for "winter" and refers to the properties of the oil when cold. The description of the syntethic oil looks as if its for a single grade oil with properties that are described like the exact definition of a multi grade oil. | |||

| I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Misplaced Pages).

To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a ] since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Misplaced Pages and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages.

| == Knot articles and WP:NOTHOWTO == | |||
| Hello Brianhe! I noticed you've flagged several knot articles with WP:NOTHOWTO... Inarguably, most of the knot articles do in fact contain some howto information. There have been several discussions regarding this topic in various articles. The consensus in the past has been to apply ] in the case of knotting articles. The primary argument that has been used to establish previous consensus is that a complete article on a knot must include at least one tying method, preferably the simplest or most well-known, in order to properly cover the subject of the article. After ] I help to write ]. I do not intend to remove your NOTHOWTO tags myself, but please take a look at the above links and consider whether you agree WP:IAR can be applied. | |||
| Also, as covered in the ], any howto content in a knotting article should be kept as descriptive as possible. Inappropriate tone does often creep into the tying and usage sections. If you have specific concerns about particular passages let me know or (of course :) try to improve it yourself. Best regards, --] <small>(])</small> 16:50, 29 May 2013 (UTC) | |||

| ::There appears to have been some non-trivial activity, as part of a larger work, at ]. But personally I have focused my efforts on WP knot articles and Commons stuff. There seems to have been consensus for a while that at least one basic tying method belongs in a complete WP knot article. I certainly agree that Wikibooks would be the appropriate place for inclusion of additional methods/techniques/etc. --] <small>(])</small> 17:35, 29 May 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::I'll have to give this some consideration. ] is a good example of what's wrong -- this really looks like a HOWTO guide, there's no encyclopedic context or content in the section that would prompt me to accept ] in this case, and this section with its illustrations of several variants totally dominates the article. I mean really as it stands it's not about ''the knot'' but how to ''make the knot'' including how to dress the ends afterwards. Stipulating your suggestion that encyclopedic coverage requires an illustration of forming the knot, other articles I tagged like ] even tell ''how to untie'' the knot, or ], how is this justified? We've been down this road in technical topics covered by ] (e.g. tons of cleanup on ] e.g. , the article was a cruft-magnet and eventually it was deleted/merged) and my gut is to similarly leave the HOWTOs out of knot articles as per policy. — ] (]) 19:02, 29 May 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::It's certainly how-to advice. When it comes to knots, can you describe them without instructions on how to tie them? I would allow that a list of tying steps is necessary, and one series of illustrations, but no more. Three sets of tying instructions, with three sets of illustrations, is beyond what is needed to describe and identify the knot. The excess should be removed. Somebody who want to use this material for a future Wikibooks page can find it in the edit history. --] (]) 02:29, 1 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :::::Been busy, but will try to respond this weekend. Thanks. --] <small>(])</small> 06:01, 1 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ::::::While it is not necessarily the strongest justification for inclusion of howto material specifically, I challenge you to find more complete and well-researched freely available standalone knot articles than those listed ]. Since expanding and properly referencing these articles they have been remarkably stable and not subject to excessive additions of material that I believe NOTHOWTO is meant to curb. Perhaps I am biased, but I have to think that when a user types "constrictor knot" or "taut-line hitch" into Google and clicks on the Misplaced Pages link that comes up at the top they will be pleased with what they find all in one place. No app to buy, no barrage of ads, just the information they are very likely seeking. Knots are functional constructs and our readers are without doubt interested in their function. I guess I just ask you to consider whether an article would truly be improved by the removal of information rather than attempts to refactor. | |||
| ::::::Regarding the specific comments on the ] and the "three sets of illustrations", that article represents a particularly troublesome case. The rolling hitch article, along with the related ], is actually used ] regarding combining of very closely related knots into single articles. Due to the historical vagaries surrounding the naming of these related knots (] ]) it is not feasible to reasonably decide which of the underlying knot variations belong under which names. Thus the reason for there being three tying methods shown in each of these articles is due to each of the articles actually covering three distinct knots. Before these changes there was confusion and several disagreements as to which was the "right" knot. By including the three common variants and appropriate references the articles were stabilized. | |||
| ::::::And as a final general comment... I find it quite interesting, given the very ancient origins of the subject, the study of practical knots and their use remains a strangely unformalized field. The discourse of everyday knots, setting aside the actual ] (also in quite a primitive state), seems to fall somewhere between that of ] and ]. I have endeavored to keep original research out of the knot articles, which is actually difficult because much of the current progress being made in practical knotting is happening online in forums, blogs, etc. In cases of original research and/or people trying to promote "vanity knots", you will see I have removed content and proposed that articles be deleted. | |||

| Hi Brianhe. Thank you for your work on the "]" and "]" articles and your related work. I feel that the best way to get ] to leave Misplaced Pages is to get both articles deleted. I left a note at ]. I've been busy lately and don't really want to do the work required to AfD the article, but if you like, feel free to do it. :) Cheers, —] (]) 18:53, 25 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :Funny you mention that. I was actually adding the AfD tag to PICS when I noticed yours had just appeared in the edit box! I think I'll leave the bio article alone for a bit to see what happens, but as-is, it stands as an unremarkable businessperson who also happens to be an amateur weightlifter. Maybe leaving it that way is a ] than deleting it. — ] (]) 18:58, 25 June 2013 (UTC) | |||
| ==TemplateData== | |||
| Hey Brianhe | |||
| I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :). | |||
| So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the ] on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere. | |||
| What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default. | |||
| The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small ] data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide ], along with a ], although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the ] page. | |||

| == Bimota HB1 page? == | |||
| Hi, I don't know if there is a way to cite the HB1 CB400F information. I can give you my personal information, but the HB1 stuff is so rare that I'm not sure if there is much of a way to really cite specific stuff. I know the bike exists, because I own it. I inherited it from my dad, we were planning on building it but he unexpectedly passed away in February 2009. Have you ever seen pictures of an HB1 kit unbuilt? Did it look like this: | |||
| http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb103/moostrength/motorcycles/1OurMotorcycles/Bimota/HPIM0934.jpg | |||
| IF so, I took that picture at my parents house about 10 years ago, it was one of many bikes my father owned. | |||
| I know that my father went to Milan for a motorcycle show in 2008, and apparently when he met up with the people at Bimota's booth, they brought some of the senior executives over, and were using translators for my dad since he didn't speak Italian and their English was broken. | |||
| I'm not super familiar with the Misplaced Pages protocol per se, but I would like to cite the information if possible, I'm just not sure if there's a way to do so. Short of putting up what I have on the HB1 itself on my own website (which seems kind of circular to me) I don't think there really is anything out there on it. Also I've tried to stay on topic here, I read wikipedia's comments about protocol, but is there a way we can chat outside of wikipedia? I have some background information on this bike as well as others that might help too, but it is not specific to this particular issue so I didn't want to go into great detail. | |||
| ] (]) 10:11, 11 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :I'm not sure what to tell you, Moo, because ] like your own web site aren't accepted references for Misplaced Pages. It's all about reliable, published sources, not first-hand information, ]. One thing you could do is add your sources and info to the Bimota talk page and see if other editors want to pick it up to incorporate into the article. — ] (]) 19:25, 11 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| Hrm. Well, I suppose it's worth mentioning that I've talked with a producer of Cafe Racer, the TV show on Velocity channel about the bike. I know the HB1 is extremely rare, even though the CB400F doesn't carry probably the monetary value at least of what an HB1 750F would run. Their producer told me if they do a 5th season (they're in season 3 now) then they would very likely do an episode on the bike since it's probably the last CB400F HB1 in existence that's unbuilt. I don't think there's another HB1 CB400F in America, I know there used to be one up in Canada, and there's one in Japan, I've got correspondence from the guy from when my father was still alive, and I've seen the same 35mm pictures I have on the web elsewhere. If I can find the cite that posted the CB400F version could I use that as a cite (and any others) or does it have to be a bonafide website like something from cycle guide, motorcyclist, etc? It's pretty obvious looking at a CB400F picture versus a CB750F picture and telling the difference, the engine size for one is significantly different, and I know I've seen that Japanese version on the web before. | |||
| Just out of curiosity, do you have an HB1 and/or a Bimota?] (]) 08:58, 13 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
| :I'm on a device without a keyboard just now, so must be brief. Nope I've never been a Bimota owner, just Honda for a few years and currently a Ducati superbike rider. I hope that the Cafe Racer piece comes together, it sounds like it would make an interesting episode. Using a magazine's website as a source for Misplaced Pages is fine. Just not fan pages that are considered ]. the exception to this is someone who's considered an expert in his own right, say, ]. ] (]) 18:09, 13 July 2013 (UTC) | |||
