The title is clumsy, but i wondered at long file names.. the intention is to do "DucatiVtwinsW" for the water cooled variants. Does that make sense, or is there a better way?Seasalt 12:42, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Now that the full set of history segments is up, how do I get rid of the unnecessary capital A after DucatiVtwinsSeasalt 14:36, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

You just get it completely renamed. GraemeLeggett 11:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This should be merged into the Ducati entry

There's no reason to have a separate entry like this, since there is a discussion of the motorcycle designs in the Ducati entry. This should be merged.Izaakb 21:18, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Then the Ducati page becomes too big

But if that doesn't matter?Seasalt 12:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

–→I don't think it matters, the sections should be compact, no more than 2-3 paragraphs and a photo anyhow. How much do you need to say about a the engine styles after all?

Seasalt - I understand what you're doing now; making a catalogue for Ducati bikes. That's great. One suggestion: The "V-twin" to be divided between bevel and belt drive engines. The difference is pretty significant.
Also, maybe a survey page on the complete range of Ducati motorcycle engines? I tried to put a cursory one in the main article. Izaakb 02:00, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Not sure what u mean...I did a desmodue, desmotre, desmoquattro,air cooled, water cooled outline...do you mean an individual engine list? (I was sorta leaving Ducati alone for the moment. The articles i write take an awful lot of time to distil.....and i dont want to burn out on a topic.) You sure you really cant do it? I've been filling in obscurer brands like Dot, Douglas, and Rudge lately.Seasalt 06:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
I posted that note before I saw all you had done. If you've done the bevel vs. belt and single/twin, then it's grand. Izaakb 12:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll take that as a compliment. Whats the deal with the "lifestyle products"? Own company or under licence? Any idea?Seasalt 13:57, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
