Thanks for the correction on the above.... still getting used to US systems of designation, slightly different to back in the UK. Now living over here near Albany in Upstate NY....FYI I am also a Radio Ham G6HDD (class A all bands), waiting to see if the ARRL will accept my licence and give me the reciprocal 'W' call.

I really like Image:SP 6051.JPG. I was wondering what camera was used and what the settings were. Cheers, Kingturtle (talk) 18:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

John Deere related articles
Hello N2xjk, note you had left comment on the List of models article. I'd put some comments on as well, then came back to it and started to sort it (attempt). Now having looked at it in more depth it has numerous problem's IMO. Looking for comment as to format to follow as Articles titles "List" yet its more lumps of randomly pasted (copied) material. First bits on closer inspection are all garbled, so have started a re write of the Waterloo boy section of line. BulldozerD11 (talk) 02:23, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Rick Fairless
A tag has been placed on Rick Fairless requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please stop using WP for advertising.
Please stop trying to use Wikipedia to advertise for Strokers Bar and Grill. The notability of this business was debated, and you had your chance to influence the outcome. The page was deleted, though you went and re-created it as a redirect anyway. That's fine, but there is a limit.

You should now accept that this business does not meed notability guidelines and stop trying to work around that.

Please also read Conflict of interest. Editing Wikipedia to promote your own interests is strongly discouraged, and if you have a conflict of interest, you should declare it on your user page.--Dbratland (talk) 18:31, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * For the record I have no relationship to Rick Fairless or Strokers Dallas, other than seeing him on Biker's Build Off, and visiting the location a grand total of two times in the past 6 years. I'll admit my interest in choppers is but from an armchair, but I don't see how you can completely distance Rick Fairless from his businesses.  By your logic, Billy Lane's article shouldn't mention and link to Choppers Inc, and Jerry Covington's article shouldn't mention or link to Covington's Cycle City.  n2xjk (talk) 20:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There's no harm in mentioning that he has a business. What you are doing is blatantly trying to get customers to visit his restaurant and associated enterprises. Ask yourself:  What need is there put the street address in an encyclopedia?  It's in Dallas is all readers need to know.  If someone is planning a trip there and decides to visit, they will look it up on Google.  There is absolutely no chance whatsoever that deleting the street address from Wikipedia -- or even the name of the business -- is going to prevent someone from going there if they desire it.  In fact, if the address changes, I guarantee you the new address will show up in Google long before it in Wikipedia.  So what's the point?  What you can do is expand the article with information about what made Rick Fairless famous.  Why exactly do his bikes get attention that a million other bikes don't get?  What, specifically, did he invent or innovate?  What or who, specifically, has he influenced?  There is a chapter in a book about him and I think the answers are found there, as well as in other sources -- reliable, independent ones, not press releases.  You've devoted so much effort to drawing attention to the fact that he is famous, and trying to find media hype to go with it, when you should be writing encyclopedia content about Fairless' works and deeds.  If readers were given the chance to learn about that stuff, they will find their way to his bar and grill all on their own.--Dbratland (talk) 20:57, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
