: Oh there I was just trying to clean it up some to make a list <nowiki><ul><li></li></ul></nowiki> if you look at the previous edit http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/index.php?title=Yamaha_XS_850&oldid=22473 the way the wiki software works is to turn all of that into one line unless it contains a single black line in between them, I'm not exactly sure what the justification for them using this format is, but once you get used to it it's not that bad.--[[User:76.185.118.217|76.185.118.217]] 18:22, 21 December 2006 (EST) | |||
I have a LOT to contribute to your efforts here as I am a Registered Honda Technician from 85-91 and own www.motorcyclecarbs.com and I end up having an intimate relationship with the carbs of ALL bikes. I am specifically a subject matter expert on all jap bikes from about 77-90. | I have a LOT to contribute to your efforts here as I am a Registered Honda Technician from 85-91 and own www.motorcyclecarbs.com and I end up having an intimate relationship with the carbs of ALL bikes.

I also talk to MANY international customers and gain insight on model trivia. You know. This was available from 80-82 in Germany but 80-81 in the US, etc. Also stuff like the TDM850 was also available as a TRX850 in a sport version in Europe. Lots of lil bits that could help out. | I also talk to MANY international customers and gain insight on model trivia. You know.

:Yeah i've been aware of these type of issues especially with many Kawasaki bikes being ZZRs in Europe and Ninjas over here. And frankly I'm not sure how to conquer it any more than one bike at a time. What I currently do is some times I'll make a redirect page to whatever the U.S. Model is. Wiki's while not perfect seem to be one of the better models for this as it's hard to map out all the interrelationships between models with a normalized database.--[[User:76.185.118.217|76.185.118.217]] 18:22, 21 December 2006 (EST) | |||
I have to ask seeing that you are very web savy, what is your IT skill set? | I have to ask seeing that you are very web savy, what is your IT skill set? | ||
:well I originally started out with vb6 when i was quite young, however I'm functional with vb.net (i've written a few useful programs including ones to upload pictures to this site) and php (not a pro by any means but its such a simple language). I have a pretty decent knowledge of SQL including SQL injections (definitely the biggest application vulnerability on the web, and the fact is no one seems to care if they are vulnerable to sql injection). I can pretty much pick up whatever, I'm becoming more familiar with bash scripting(mainly to automate backups and other such tasks), and a perl or python script doesn't faze me. On the motorcycle side of things I guess I'm extremely intimately familiar with lightspeed NXT and with partsmart and frankly I wouldn't mind working with either one of them to get their products back in shape as their latest releases haven't really been up to par (Partsmart 8 is a joke)--[[User:76.185.118.217|76.185.118.217]] 18:22, 21 December 2006 (EST) | |||

:I'm using Mediawiki 1.8.2 see [[Special:Version]], however I have added a few of my own features to mediawiki and even wrote one extension (to disable exporting of articles).--[[User:76.185.118.217|76.185.118.217]] 18:22, 21 December 2006 (EST) | |||
