[edit] Copuediting

I removed the potted history of the bicycle as it is not particularly relevant and is covered much more extensibvely in the linked article.

Can you cite a source for the following: "the increase in the number of manufactures and riders of bicycles around the world created a collapse of the bicycle market in 1899; the same time Canada Cycle & Motor Co. Ltd, or CCM was formed."

I think that is a fair edit. It doesn't add very much to the article for the subject is somewhat covered already by "Around 1899 many smaller bicycle makers went out of business..." This info can be found by doing a quick search on the museum of science and technology of Canada, search engine (type bicycle) or you can try cliking here.

[edit] POV dispute

I wrote that:

The establishment of CCM arguably was to maintain Canada's sovereignty from the United States and other bicycle manufacturers. This is because, "42 manufacturers formed the American Bicycle Company and soon afterwards announced plans to open a branch plant in Canada called the National Cycle Company." [2]

I don't know if I can add such a comment. It seems logical but, the first part is my opinion, therefore it is a type of POV, no? It would far better to says, according to, so and so.... Anyone have anything on this? (I would hate to have to remove but this may be original research... or is it simply stating the facts?) --CylePat 14:23, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Note: the source for this information states that CCM was formed to "fend off the American incursion and control the domestic market." (I guess that's a good enought argument. I guess it wasn't all opinion. ha!) (I'll leave the POV template their for a little while longer (until this is conversation is archived?))--CylePat 14:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Don't read too much into that. It's a bog-standard patriotic reaction to domination of the home market by foreign firms - there was a lot of it in response to the Japanese incursions into the car market in the 70s. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 14:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed move

These articles and their external sites give "The Hockey Company" and "CCM Cycle" as their names. Therefore I propose moving:

Any comments? -- Chuq 02:55, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't have a problem with the cycle move, but the hockey one is more complicated. I think that CCM like Koho and Jofa for example are all brands of The Hockey Company. So I think that the brand CCM should have a seperate article--RWR8189 03:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CCM (hockey)

I'd like to suggest this article move to CCM (hockey) which is wikistandard for titles of articles where there are two or more of the same topic name. I don't think the company's tagline should be used, but simply a single word that distinguishes this CCM. TheHYPO 08:37, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ccm.gif

Image:Ccm.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
