PRIORITY #3Italic text--1. Decorah Beach, Wisconsin There is nothing on the Talk page. On the main page, the only information is the geographical info. I would add see if I could find historical information about this location, things to do, tourism, etc.

PRIORITY #2Italic text--2. Sizzling Sixteen This is a book by one of my favorite mystery authors. There are "multiple issues with this page": the information relies too much on reference to primary sources, relies on a single source and doesn't meet Wiki's notability guideline for books. So I would see what I could do to help resolve the "multiple issues".

PRIORITY #1Italic text--3. Victory Motorcycles This page has a "multiple issue" problem as well. It states that the current page is written like an advertisement. There is too much personal reflection. I will try to see what other motorcycle manufacturers' pages look like and see if I can address the concern with this page.

Victory
Background:

Polaris began its research and development of manufacturing a motorcycle in early 1990's. They completed extensive research that included testing numerous different makes and models of motorcycles. This research provided them with guidance ranging from comfort to braking ability, which became the framework to design a motorcycle that combined the best of each research criteria. Polaris was on a mission to create an American-made, cruiser-style motorcycle. This new creation was branded with the name Victory.

Victory's debut cruiser model, V92C, had a 92 cubic-inch (1507 cc) counter-balanced, fuel-injected V-twin motor. In its debut in 1998, the V92C became the largest displacement engine offered in the cruiser market. The new Victory motorcycle was unique in its appearance. The fenders and tank profile mimicked the retro-look of sweeping lines from 1930's-era cars.

Winding Down Section

With Victory, Polaris objectively created high quality, American-made cruisers, baggers and touring bikes. However, subjectively, Victory could not capture the legacy and emotion Harley-Davidson enjoys from its owners. Polaris solved this problem by purchasing and reviving the Indian Motorcycle brand in 2011. Once it became clear that Indian could better compete with Harley-Davidson on an emotional level, Polaris decided its production capacity and resources would be better devoted to its Indian brand.
