The first picture was changed from Media:Aprilia rs125.jpg to Media:Aprilia-rs250.jpg for the following reason: "changed bike picture. The previous one was of a dirty bike with an awful looking chain". The new one is a lot darker (and smaller), so which is better? Jdm 19:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Why include PIAGGIO models on an Aprilia page? Deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.232.63.100 (talk) 15:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
reorganization/clean up[edit]
This page needs serious work. Some chronicler has been at work here ("In [year x], Aprilia launched..."), and the problem is that all these little factoids are listed without any organizing principle. Suggestion: Condense the history (leave out mention of every single model), add section on motocross, and relegate all the factoids to that and the racing section. Thanks.24.214.249.82 (talk) 03:26, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
- I agree. I have rewritten the intro. I feel there is too much history and racing, and I reckon the racing topic should be shifted to a separate page. This "mother page' should have a condensed history and be more illustrative of the factory's significant output. Arrivisto (talk) 18:40, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
Peacock issues[edit]
The example at WP:PEACOCK says it best. Don't tell, show.
- Peacock example:
- Bob Dylan is the defining figure of the 1960s counterculture and a brilliant songwriter.
- Just the facts:
- Dylan was included in Time's 100: The Most Important People of the Century, where he was called "master poet, caustic social critic and intrepid, guiding spirit of the counterculture generation".[1] By the mid-1970s, his songs had been covered by hundreds of other artists.[2]
