change of title[edit]

This motor racing series is, and has always been called the "World SuperBike Championship", hence the abbreviation WSB. Perhaps a change of title of the page should be considered? -- Teutonic Tamer 17:57, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The title of the championship is "Superbike World Championship" as are all FIM championships ( Sidecar World Championship, Motocross World Championship etc...) see this link at the FIM website. the abbreviation WSB is more of a fan created abbreviation. the championship promoters just call the series SBKChris Ssk (talk) 21:03, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Box at the bottom[edit]

The box at the bottom about the games list, it lists the publishers of the games and not the developers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.22.73 (talk) 13:31, 23 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

BSB and WSB Articles[edit]

I wondered if these two articles should fall into line with the moto GP article, in the way that all of the moto gp "support" races are covered in the one article. Would this help with both British superbikes and world superbike "support" classes, the big advantage i see to this would be that much more information could be put on one page, the downside looking at the moto GP article it can become rather long! In the article 2010 motorcycle grand prix season all the support classes (125 and moto 2), where as on the world superbike pages there are seperate articles for each class. Just thought i would see what everyone else thought! I think both the british superbike and world superbike articles should include support classes like the moto gp article Xrateddan (talk) 21:48, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Race Weekend up to 2013[edit]

Has the race weekend changed since 2013? Mobile mundo (talk) 22:48, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Mobile mundo:: I think it has changed from 2 races on Sunday, for 1 on Saturday and another on Sunday, but i'm not sure, neither when did the change happened.Rpo.castro (talk) 09:28, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Silhouette class[edit]

I have just noticed that an Indonesian IP has changed the lede to read "is a motorsport road racing series for silhouette that based on production motorcycles".

I have fixed the broken-English, adding silhouette-class, which is the correct term. The machines are highly modified, as mentioned in one of the following refs. I don't intend to add passing mentions into the main referencing sequence, but here are some Google searches from different publications and racing categories. ^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4]^[5]

"Teams World Championship"[edit]

In this change dated 17 Feb 2024, Eaglefan1988 has changed the lede to assert there are now three championships, with a new variation being added called "Teams World Championship".

This phrase does not appear in the body of the citation provided, and neither does it Google up as a change for 2024 on any primary or secondary source.

I have found List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Teams' Champions which states: "The Teams' World Championship is awarded to the most successful team over a season, as determined by a points system based on Grand Prix results" (note use of the possessive apostrophe).

Could you please confirm what is the basis of your changes? Thank you.-- 82.13.47.210 (talk) 01:24, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rule 1.29.3 - Teams World Championship Eaglefan1988 (talk) 18:51, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Changed tag, {{dubious span| -> {{Synthesis span|, as there is no confirmation it is 'new' for 2024, just editor's own extrapolation from a primary source, which in itself has poor grammar (possibly a translation) and does not appear to have been discussed by secondary sources.--82.13.47.210 (talk) 02:25, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Everything in bold in the regulations is new. Eaglefan1988 (talk) 05:41, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
