Hello, I'm GeneralizationsAreBad. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Article

Hi,

Thanks for contacting me on my talk page. I have no real connection to the article in particular. The reason I reverted your edit is simple: Wikipedia's policy is not to provide color commentary or "warnings" on the factual state of the article. Some alternatives could be tagging the page with "POV" or the like, and definitely bringing up your concerns on the talk page of the article. I am sure that other editors would be happy to discuss this with you on the talk page. Indeed, I wish I was an enlightened person! Thanks, GAB^Hello! 01:52, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

I have just read your post on the talk page, which is presumably the one which you copied to my page. If you were to make some suggestions and edit proposals (or just be bold and make the change you like), this might be the best course of action. Thanks, GAB^Hello! 02:03, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Inaccurate information comment under "BMEP Typical Values" section in the article

As of 2017-06-17, at 14:37 CDT (USA), the article contains the following quote: "As piston engines always have their maximum torque at a lower rotating speed than the maximum output, the BMEP is lower at full power."

The article cites piston engines having maximum speeds lower than 16500/pi rpm (approximately 5252 rpm), which is the point at which the numeric values of torque and horsepower are by definition exactly equal. Only above that rpm does the numeric value for horsepower exceed the numeric value for torque; at all lower rpm, the numeric value for torque exceeds the numeric value for horsepower.
