Errors at Paul Smart (motorcyclist)
In this change you introduced content relating to a Seeley and Ontario. These quips you interjected in front of the existing refs. A quick check at the web sources indicates there's no mention.

I suspect you've done the same for Arter Commando, but I've not got time to spend on this. Please re-check what you've added and delete anything not supported by reliable sources. This is something many newcomers will do - add their own thoughts based on experiences and memories. It's called original research. WP:NOW explains why dubious content should be deleted soonest. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 21:00, 30 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Ive now removed the original research you interjected into the prose concerning (famously) won at Ontario, and riding an Arter machine. The burden is entirely on the editor who adds content. Maybe this pic is there, looks like a Seeley from what I can see (apart from the aircraft filler). There's a pic of Gary Nixon riding it (or similar) at Mallory Hairpin. John Cooper famously won $10,000 dollars at Ontario, even at 3 dollars to the pound it was considerable (I guess it was on the 1972 blue commandos also ridden by Read, Williams, Grant and Rutter).


 * This pic shows what could be a Peter Williams lash up disc, never seen that iteration before, looks like a stage before the Norvil set up. There are pics of Smart riding the Arter Aermacchi, so I wouldn't discount that it was Arter, but it needs a reliable independent source to be included into the article. I've now seen you at LikedIn claiming to write for motorcycle journals. The other side of the bike shows an interesting hub that looks to be double sided in that a second disc could be attached - again, not seen that so my time spent has not been fruitless. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 16:38, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
