User talk:Wikebike314

May 2022
Hi Wikebike314. You recently added some information to Bicycle trailer, which included mentions of the  'Wike' inertial braking system. Wikipedia strongly discourages advertising, so I have removed those mentions. From your user name I rather suspect that you are directly associated with 'Wike' - correct me if I am wrong.

If you wish to have an article about your firm on Wikipedia, you need it to be notable i.e. some independent reliable source is available to establish notability.

If you wish to discuss this matter further, you can do so on this page; alternatively, for a potentially wider audience/discussion, you can discuss it in a new section at Talk:Bicycle trailer. Murray Langton (talk) 16:26, 20 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for your message.
 * I am a mechanical engineering co-op student working for Wike. I was given the opportunity to make changes to the Bicycle Trailers Wikipedia page. The goal of this task was to, firstly, educate myself on bicycle trailers, and then to disseminate my knowledge on them.
 * The main topic that I wanted to inform others about was brakes on bicycle trailers; the importance of them and the way they work. I tried to avoid making it seem like an advertisement, however the only bicycle trailer that has the option of brakes is made by Wike.
 * The same way that credit was given to the companies with electric trailers, I thought I should give Wike credit for having brakes on their trailers.
 * I feel many students studying braking systems or people interested in bicycles/bicycle trailers would like to know how the braking system performs. Images help with the understanding and so does an explanatory paragraph. However these were recently deleted.
 * Could you guide me in the right direction in order to avoid the confusion of it being an advertisement.
 * Should I remove ‘Wike’ from my username? Would this solve the problem? Or remove the ‘Wike’ name from the photos of the trailers?
 * Thanks for your time. Wicycle314 (talk) 19:00, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
