[edit] American vs Brit english

Just a POR: Since this article deals with an American subject (i.e. a motorcycle produced for the American market, requested by an American company) is it not WP to stick to local spellings and language?Izaakb 14:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I didn't think of it. It makes sense that sub-pages should keep the parent article language. I am Australian, and taught to write in British English. It's a hard habit to shake. If you want to change it to American English, that is quite ok by me. (There may be the same thing on other Ducati sub-pages I started.) Seasalt 11:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, honestly, I am not a stickler for changing. I think if the difference is just spelling (i.e. tyres vs tires) it doesn't bother me. However, I would ask that we all be careful to avoid colloquialisms, which can be confusing. My original question was more hypothetical than pedantic. "cheers" Izaakb 14:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Review

I liked your article. It was well written and gave good detail of the bike's history. What this article needs more than anything (and I believe the article REQUIRES) a picture of some sort (not exactly sure how you would go about getting one . . . maybe find a image through google and email the owner for permission to use). Another thing that this article might benifit from would be a infobox for some of its specifications (maybe one of the two used on the Suzuki TL1000R page). Speaking of which, you mind peer reviewing that Suzuki page (Suzuki TL1000R)? Like I said, you have a great article here, but it REALLY NEEDS a picture to complete it. - BMan1113VR 23:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
