Article evaluation:

Although there is talk about the discontinuation of the vine platform there is no mention of vine 2. Vine 2 is the sequel to vine that is created by the same creators as the original I think it would add value to the article to include information about the vine 2 platform. There are reliable sources that speak about the new social media platform.

Possible articles:

Potential Articles
Vine 2: Vine (service)

Vine was a social media platform. Although the entry on vine is lengthy it does not discuss vine 2 in any depth. After researching it, there is a lot of good sources about this new social media platform. Considering how popular the first vine was I think it is possible that the V2 will be successful. However, there is no wikipedia page for vine 2. I attribute this to its recent announcement. Therefore, I think that it would be a very good topic for me to cover.

Mazikeen(Lucifer TV show): Lucifer (TV series)

Mazikeen (Maze) is a significant character in the television show, "Lucifer" and she does not have her own page despite being mentioned on the character list on Lucifer's page. Since I could reference the show and interviews with its actors and creators I think that ther is a lot of good information on this character. She is notebel since it is a career defining role for Lesley-Ann Brandt as well the first time that the FOX network featured an openly bisexual woman of color. One potential problem with this article is that it might be tagged as fandom and removed. Nonetheless I believe it is notable enough to make the cut. 2/23/18 Finalize topics:

After meeting with Professor after class I received permission to write about a specific topic which, although not directly related to media would be a meaningful contribution to the wikipedia community. The topic is the new Ducati V4 motorcycle. Although at first this may seem nuts, I plan on including a section where the motorcycle is talked about and covered by different media sources, motorcycles magazines, video reviews, press conferences etc. I have seen other pages include sections like this under the heading "media appearances." The existing page for this topic is is very very bare and includes only technical facts. I will include, the history behind this model, the development of the engine and the body. I will talk about the special editions offered as well as its technical specifications and performance. I think this is a good wikipedia topic for the following reasons: it will touch on media and because the existing article is so bare it will allow me to really develop the article and explore wikipedia in way that I could not with a more complete article. Furthermore, it is one of the article I have found that both interests me and has many available sources. At the bottom of my sandbox you can find 10 sources that I plan on using in the article. These sources are all reliable publications and similar sources exist in the references section of other wikipedia pages I researched and so wikipedia will allow them.

I do understand that this is taking the assignment in a different direction than other students, and so if it does not fulfill the requirements I can choose a different topic.

Ducati V4
The Ducati V4 is the latest super bike produced by Italian motorcycle company, Ducati.

'''Officially announced on November 5th, 2017, the first production ready model was revealed at the 2017 EICMA motorcycle show. The Ducati V4 was designed to replace the 2014 Ducati 1299 as the range topping super bike model .'''

Development
'''The Ducati V4 is the first Ducati production model super bike with the V4 engine. Prior the Ducati V4, Ducati motorcycles were based on a V-twin engine set up. The incorporation of the V4 engine in the Ducati V4 represent massive technological innovations in Ducati’s sport bike design .'''

'''The first Ducati to incorporate the V4 engine was the Desmosedici RR model which was special edition and not a production motorcycle. This was the model that inspired the development of the V4 engine. The initial development of the V4 motorcycle started with the 2015 MotorGP engine that is used by Ducati's racing team. Ducati first big challenge was was designing an engine that could keep the MotorGP's counter rotating crank and bore diameter, but had the durability to to travel 15,000 miles between service intervals. Originally, Ducati was going to keep the Motor GP chassis but instead chose to design a completely new front frame with decreased weight but increased stability for better vehicle handling .'''

'''The Ducati V4 was designed to be both a road and race motorcycle. Despite its extreme performance specifications and racing features, like its predecessors, the Ducati V4 was designed to be an entertaining and rideable motorcycle with a durable engine. Despite a new engine integration, the V4 was designed to have the same rider experience as the V-twin engine with Motor GP performance. To balance race like performance with a useable road motorcycle, Ducati developed innovative technological solutions to manage the new engine. The Ducati V4 includes a wheelie control system derived from the 1299 Superlegga, as well as improved traction and drift control programs to allow a less experienced rider to safely experience the motorcycle's performance. The biggest technological innovation came in the form of an entirely new ABS system specifically designed for high speed cornering .'''

'''To handle the extreme performance of the V4, Ducati worked with Pirelli to develop new Diablo Super Corsa SP tires, which feature a new rear tyre compound. Ducati claims that the Diablo Super Corsa SP tires are only a tenth of a second slower around a race track than professional race tires. Ducati also worked with brake manufacture, Brembo, to develop a new set of calipers which, although 70 grams lighter than those of the 1299, provide the same level of stopping power .'''

=== === 10 pounds heavier

Cycle World said in spite of being a V4, the new Panigale is only slightly wider than the V-twin 1299

Unlike the prior 1199 and 1299 where the engine is the primary element of the frame, the Panigale V4's engine is surrounded by a more conventional twin spar aluminum frame

Engine
The Ducati V4 uses a new MotorGP inspired 4-cylinder engine that replaces the 2-cylinder engine used in the 1299 .The Ducati Panigale V4 has 1103 cc desmodromic valve 90° V4 engine introduced by Ducati. The Panigale V4 uses the new Desmosedici Stradale V4 engine, derived from the Desmosedici MotoGP racing engine. The engine is rotated further backwards than other Ducatis, so that the swingarm pivot is mated to the rear cylinders, rather than lower on the engine near the crankshaft. Unlike most street bikes and previous Ducatis other than MotoGP racing machines, the Panigale V4's engine rotates in the opposite direction of the wheels, counteracting the rotating inertia and decreasing the force necessary to change the bike's direction.

Ducati V4 Panigale S
'''The Ducati V4 Panigale S is a more performance oriented version of the V4. It features a Ohlins suspension system, a lightweight lithium battery and a set of forged aluminum wheels. These additional options combine to lower the weight of the V4 Panigale S to increase the performance of the motorcycle[1].'''

Ducati V4 Panigale S Speciale
'''Costing $39,995, the Ducati V4 Panigale S Speciale is the most intense and expensive version of the V4 currently offered [2]. The V4 Panigale S Speciale includes the features of the S model, such as the lightweight lithium battery and forged aluminum wheels[3]. The Panigale S Speciale edition includes an Ohlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension system, allowing the rider to electronically customize the suspension[3]. The V4 Panigale S Speciale includes a display where the rider may choose between Sport, Race and Street mode to optimize the motorcycle. Additionally, the Speciale model comes equipped with adjustable footpads, an alcantara trimmed seat, a top triple clamp, carbon mudguards, a data analyzer system and a race cap for the gas tank[3]. Perhaps the most significant additional feature to the Panigale S Speciale model is a titanium exhaust system which pushes the horsepower output from 219 to 226bhp[3].'''

Ducati V4 R
'''Although there has been no official statement form Ducati about a Ducati V4 R version, there have been leaked photos that may show the Ducati race team testing out the new configuration in Jerez. The V4 R would be a purely track focused version that would be built to comply with racing rules. In the past Ducati has relased R versions of its top of the range motorcycels.'''

I am working on the language I use in this piece and trying to make it as understandable and clear to viewers who may not be big motorcycle nerds. One problem I am encountering is that much of this article is technical information such as an explanation of the engine. I do not feel like I could explain what, "Diablo Super Corsa SP tires," are without using technical language and figures. Furthermore, I wonder if there is a better way that I could lay out the information in the final draft. I have looked at other pages but haven't really come across a format I think would work super well for this article type. Many motorcycle pages have less information than mine and thus not a clear formatted structure. I am continuing to work on this page because although in the syllabus it says it is due tonight a classmate of mine reassured me that only edits are due and the final upload won't be due until later in the week.

THE FINAL PAGE

I misunderstood a previous wikipedia assignment and posted my article earlier. As a result, my work on wikipedia has been edited by multiple wikipedia editors. They have improved much of the "problem" areas and have added some content. The official wikipedia article is now different from the one that I initially posted and worked on. I really liked being able to see what was being changed in the article and the feedback I was getting. However, since the editors put in the edits I did not have as much opportunity to work on the final article. I did put in the edits I received from my professor about marketing language and jargon. However, this week all the edits on the page had already been put in by both me and the editors so I wasn't able to add much to the final page.
