<div style="border-bottom: 2px dotted #484898">'''Welcome to WikiProject Motorcycling'''</div>
We are a [[Wikipedia:Wikiproject|group]] dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Motorcycling. This is a child project of '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Transport|WikiProject Transport]]'''

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject]] and the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide|Guide to WikiProjects]]).

<div style="border-bottom: 2px dotted #484898">'''Scope of the WikiProject'''</div>
The '''Motorcycling''' [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] concerns the creation, development, and organisation of all Wikipedia's articles about motorcycles and motorcycling (including  [[biography|biographies]]) of famous motorcyclists and motorcycling pioneers. 
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: 2px dotted #484898; margin-top:5px;">'''Goals'''</div>
# Improve the accuracy and quality of all motorcycling articles
# Develop the collection of motorcycling images on Wikimedia Commons
# To develop and maintain the '''[[Outline of motorcycles and motorcycling]]'''
# To '''finally''' sort out the '''[[Motorcycle history]]''', '''[[Motorcycle]]''' and '''[[Motorcycling]]''' articles

==Guidelines==
{{See also|Wikipedia:WikiProject Motorcycling/Conventions|label 1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Motorcycling/Conventions}}
{{Shortcut|WP:MC-MOS}}
* '''MOS''' — The overall guidelines are in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]]. The best examples to imitate are the [[Wikipedia:Featured articles]].
* '''WikiProject Automobiles''' — [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions|WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions]] are generally followed.
* '''Citations''' — Facts in articles are referenced using [[WP:IC|inline]] [[WP:CITE|citations]]. Speed, acceleration, engine output and weight statistics are presumed to be controversial and should always have a reliable, independent source. Uncontroversial statistics may be sourced to the manufacturer alone. Uncited statistics may be deleted or tagged. Note: Weight is controversial because of different methods used to define [[Motorcycle_weight#Dry_weight|dry weight]] and [[Motorcycle_weight#Wet_weight|wet weight]] and that some manufacturers do not publish both wet and dry weight.
* '''New articles''' — The policy section [[WP:NRVE|Notability requires verifiable evidence]] says "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists," so don't assume every model or sub-model of motorcycle, nor every motorcycle manufacturer, should have its own [[Wikipedia:What is an article?|article]]. Check the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] first, and consider that many models belong in the context of an article on the model series, or the manufacturer, or other umbrella article. [[Wikipedia:Summary style]] covers spinning off new articles from a main article. 
* '''Categories''' — Add categories as explained in [[Wikipedia:Categorization]].
* '''Images''' — All [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|free]] [[MOS:IMAGES|images]] should be linked from the [[WP:COMMONS|Commons]]. See also [[Wikipedia:Uploading images]] and  [[Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons]]. Do not claim [[WP:Fair use|fair use]] on publicity photos or copyrighted media photos; these will be deleted under {{tl|db-f7}} since they are not irreplaceable. 
* '''Infoboxes and Statistics'''
** The template {{tl|Infobox Motorcycle}} should be added to motorcycle articles and completed in as much detail as possible.
** [[Motorcycle testing and measurement|Statistics]] should be in the {{tl|Infobox Motorcycle}} and not in a separate table, except when {{tl|Infobox Motorcycle}} is inadequate.
** The main image of a motorcycle in {{tl|Infobox Motorcycle}} follows [[WP:MCPIX]]. Avoid photoshopped images, especially those with an unnatural appearance.
** Companies should have the template {{tl|Infobox Company}} added. See [[Wikipedia:Logos]] on uploading copyrighted logos.
** Clubs and organizations should use {{tl|Infobox organization}}, {{tl|Infobox Motorcycle club}}, or others from [[:Category:Organization infobox templates]].
* '''Lists of media appearances''' — [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trivia sections)|Manual of Style (trivia sections)]] says article sections with miscellaneous collections of information, such as lists of movie appearances, should be reorganized. See also [[WP:CONPOL|content policies]] for inclusion and exclusion of various types of information.
* '''Prices''' — [[WP:NOPRICES]] means that generally, [[Suggested retail price|MSRP]] or other prices are not mentioned.  Note that if a [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|source]] explicitly justifies inclusion of the price, such as because a particular price is notable for being very high, or very low, or of historical interest, then both the price along with the explanation of its significance may be included. Auction prices, or prevailing used motorcycle prices, are not mentioned without a source that asserts notability. Warranty coverage, marketing campaigns, and other purchase-related information is also avoided unless exceptional notability is cited.
* '''Colors''' — Color schemes or trim options are generally not mentioned, as these vary by country. As with prices and trivia, the exception is if reliable sources are cited showing a color scheme was notable.
* '''External links''' — Avoid excessive external links, as per [[WP:ELNO]]. Clubs, forums, and social media are rarely acceptable. Normally, only one official link belonging to the subject is used. If a motorcycle is sold in several markets, then please try to find an international/global link; do not link to the manufacturer's model page in every country in the English speaking world. See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (linking)]]
* '''Specialist terminology and jargon''' — Avoid ambiguous terms like "transverse engine", "longitudinal engine", "parallel twin", "inline twin" without explicitly saying whether the ''[[crankshaft]]'' or the ''[[cylinder bank]]'' is transverse or longitudinal. See discussion at [[V-twin engine#Orientations]] and [[Straight-two engine#Motorcycle use]]. See also the [[WP:GUIDELINE|guideline]] [[Wikipedia:Make technical articles understandable]].
*'''Puffery''' and '''marketing buzzwords''' — See [[WP:PEACOCK]] for avoidance of puffery in favor of ''just the facts''. Almost all motorcycle marketing copy uses "features" instead of "has". Articles should say that a bike ''has'' a given component or technology, and cite only expert opinions as to whether it is a feature or liability. Similarly, replace "utilize(s)" with "use(s)".
* '''Bold title and wikilinks''' — In most, but not all, cases, repeat the full article name in the first sentence in bold, per [[MOS:BOLDTITLE]], but do not [[WP:WL|wikilink]] parts of the bolded title, per [[WP:BTW]]. Following the example of [[WP:FA|Featured Articles]], generally the make is repeated in order to wikilink it, even though it appears redundant. See examples such as [[Northrop YF-23]], [[Holden VE Commodore]], or [[Rolls-Royce Merlin]]. Most motorcycle model article titles follow the format <Make> <Model>, so the first sentence would say something like "'''<Make> <Model>''' was a motorcycle made by <[[Marque|Make]]>".
