I see that there is a Wiki page for the SD. It is only a brief one, but I noted that it lacked a link to this, the most authoritative site on the net for those models....so I added a link at the bottom of the page. Hope that is OK, but if anyone wants to take it down you can, as it is a publicly editable site. Here is the link en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_CB250N/CB400N

To be honest, it is a very poor wiki all round...........even compared to the general level of wiki's........

Well... I just got this message from Wiki
"Hello, I'm Dennis Bratland. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Honda CB250N/CB400N, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Dennis Bratland"
I have put the link back up again but i suspect it will dissapear just as quickly............

It's well known to be a shockingly bad write up.
Possibly leave it well alone if they are getting sh*tty.

Richard - next time he contacts you, just tell him to check out the forum....he will find that it is far more informative than his crappy wiki. Tell him that an expert from the forum will be along sometime soon to write a proper entry......

If it is taken down again then I can't be a*sed to do it a third time. Shame though, as if you wanted to know more about the bike then what better place to come to.....

As Uni students, we have been warned about Wiki since the beginning....
Everyone does seem to use it a lot but it can be shockingly inaccurate.
Richard - Who is this Joe who is giving you grief ? I mean what's his authority ?

I have just added the link again - and a note after it as to why it should be kept there. I have also added the first paragraph of the 'history' section we have on here - just to show that we 'mean business' and 'know what we are talking about'.......

The problem may be is that it is seen as 'promotion for personal gain'.......which of course is far from what we are about.
No one likes anyone doing well or gaining in some way (in monetary terms) in this country........FACT.
Sorry - in a negative mood tonight. But I will be fine in 30 seconds.

The guy doing the removing is an American Nick - Bratland is the name - and I just sent a message to him on his 'talk' page explaining who we are etc. He doesnt work for wiki - he seems like a wiki-geek who just spends his time on there......
