Welcome to the Motorcycling WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Motorcycling.
This is a child project of WikiProject Transport
(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).
- Goals
- This WikiProject aims primarily to create, improve and organize articles relating to the motorcycle and motorcycling.
- Scope
- This includes, but is not limited to, the history of the motorcycle and motorcycling as recreation, as a competitive sport, and as a mode of transportation. It also wishes to encourage participation in creating and expanding articles related to Motorcycling on Wikipedia.
- Promoting the project
- To promote this project an article banner has been developed as recommended by the WikiProject Council guide.
Please post it on the talk page of any motorcycling, or motorcycle related, articles you edit by adding this template tag {{Motorcycling}} or the userbox {{User WP Motorcycling}} or {{User WikiProject Motorcycling}}
