Bicycle brake systems

edit

Nice work on the article. Watch out for spelling, though. Please read Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English and Talk:Bicycle_brake_systems#National_variety_of_English before you replace "calliper" with "caliper". -AndrewDressel (talk) 15:50, 25 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Translating an article in another language version of Wikipedia

edit

I would like to translate an article in the German version of Wikipedia into English and place it in the English version.

How can I manage links so that they point to the appropriate locations in other articles in the German version when no appropriate substitute link is available in the English version?

Use WP:Redlinks or don't add them to the article... mabdul 22:47, 2 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
You could do it like this DE:Radverkehrsanlage. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:55, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Using Blog material in citation

edit

I have had to revert your addition to Segregated cycle facilities because your source is a personal blog, not a reliable source. See WP:BLOGS and WP:RS. If you can find the same idea published somewhere 'formal', please feel free to add it again. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 22:44, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Did you check the paper? The blog linked to a formal academic paper by a highly credentialed researcher. I thought that my link was to the paper itself but I don't have time to check now. That it is cited in the researcher's blog does not impugn its credibility. The Montreal research it criticizes does not deserve to go unchallenged. I am busy now but I will address this when I return from travel in a week.

If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.
