[edit] "Types of road bicycles"
The list "Types of road bicycles" includes Mountain bicycles - clearly an error. perhaps this list would be better at bicycle, in which case mountain bikes could stay in the list. --Singkong2005 15:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Meosphere list
Added an external link to list of manufacturers of road bikes. As a road biker, this is helpful information and the type of information that you can find external links to all over wikipedia. The list was the result of much research as well as the input of many road bikers adding information. Please consider reversing your deletion. Respectfully, Eliasone
- Well, the first problem is that yesterday's edit was anonymous. It's hard to believe a user who hasn't got an account is sincere. True, the majority of anonymous edits are useful or at least not bad, but most linkspam and other bad edits are anonymous. Then there's the site, this Meosphere, which has flashy ads and looks more like a kid site for goofing around than a serious source of information. Anyway, now that you've got an account and an argument, I'll revert my reversion for a few days. What you should do, however, now that you're trying to be taken seriously, is put a serious list of roadbike makers right into Wikipedia. It can be a section of Road bicycle, a subcat of Category:Cycle manufacturers, a section of List of bicycle manufacturers, or elsewhere in the encyclopedia.
- Making an encyclopedia is a lot of work. It isn't just knowing something and putting it in. You have to organize the knowledge, fix the bad parts, connect the good parts together, watch out for people who don't understand what they are doing and otherwise tend it like a garden.
