Motorcycle history[edit]

Seeking general feedback with a view toward advancing this article to WP:GA and (maybe even) WP:FA status. Thanks. --Evb-wiki 14:56, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I suggest you move the article to History of Motorcycle. This title form (History of...) is by far more used in Wikipedia. CG 17:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
More comment added from the Motorcycle talk page - no one really likes the proposal:
An editor at peer review proposed changing the name of Motorcycle history to History of motorcycles. His proposal is here. It seems reasonable, and I tend to agree (a little reluctantly). Are there any specific objections? --Evb-wiki 19:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'd vote no. Seems the only reason for the suggestion is that many other articles use that convention. Just because everyone else is doing something isn't much of a reason to do the same, unless the consistancy serves some purpose. We could just as easily create an article by that name that simply redirects here, to help cover for the anemic search capabilities. (It appears that including 'of' in the search moves Motorcycle history from first in the list to 12th with a relevance of just 12%. -AndrewDressel 21:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really see the point, it would mean someone would have to change a lot of redirects, etc (unless someone's got a bot to do it) Pickle 12:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's cool. I wasn't real keen on it anyway. --Evb-wiki 12:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds much better the way it is. If it's not broke, don't fixi it. I am copying all these comments to the proposal page as no one has put their comments there. ww2censor 13:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
