[edit] Initial article text

This article looks very much like it was written by a company representative. If so please read WP:COI and comply with the policy when making future edits. The policy requires that company representatives declare themselves as such here on the talkpage and then post suggested amendments here so other editors can insert them into the article or not.

Also please keep in mind that the article will be edited by other editors to produce a neutral encyclopedia article, even if the company doesn't necessarily agree with the results. - Ahunt (talk) 12:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright Violations

I have removed the entire history section, since it was lifted, word for word, from the Company website. The history of the company can be re-written using that page as a ref, but it has to be written in the editor's own words to avoid a WP:COPYVIO. - Ahunt (talk) 12:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I have now re-written the history section to avoid any copyright violations. - Ahunt (talk) 15:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The removed "What is a Surrey Bike/Bicycle?" [1] section was also a copyright violation copied word-for-word from FAQs. - Ahunt (talk) 15:51, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advert tag

User:Gillyweed quite rightly tagged this article as reading like an advertisement, as it looked just like Corp spam. I have re-written it to remove the corp spam, copyright violations and NPOV and have removed the "advert tag". There is much more work that can be done to turn this into a quality article, help from other editors would be appreciated! - Ahunt (talk) 12:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
