Oh... my God...!!

A strange guy who lives in US has edited our Wikipedia page with no consideration. Image
His IP address is 172.189.195.27 in US. Image

Unfortunately, I don't know the reverse function. Image
Please reverse the edit history of Wikipedia.

Here is the A-bike page

I indeed hope to see him... indeed... Image

Hmm, it says "(No links to: forums/foreign language sites/blogs per Wikipedia:External links guidelines)"

So Wikipedia doesn't like foreign languages, or forums! I think that says more about Wikipedia than anything else.

They might claim that other languages have their own versions of Wikipedia but that would ignore the fact that 90% of the world speak English plus another language or several and therefore value multi-lingual resources (maybe just not 90% of USA population., and maybe they need to be protected from stumbling across scary foreign pages with weird symbols that are probably all written by evil doer terorists discussing how to build nuclear bombs :lol: ).

By the way, Wikipedia is also famous as the site with a longer entry on Klingons than Descartes, so you can see what kind of people they are ;-)

Try adding this site back with a link to the main page as an A-Bike news and information site (not a blog or forum), that will probably work.

I have read the Wikipedia Guidelines all.
The strange guy was Right!! He is a Good man.

It seems to me that any direct link is impossible.
So, I have a plan to make a new title named 'Sepecification and User experiences' and then write references including AbikeCentral(EN), AbikeKorea(KR), AbikeJapan(JP).

Hmm... This is impossible too.

After much consideration, I optimized the A-bike page.

These are facts.
1. AbikeCentral is not a forum, just includes a forum.
2. KoreanAbikeCafe is a SNS, but we also supply the usages and self-repair tips through a specialized webpage.
3. AbikeInJapan is not a forum or SNS, just includes a link to a forum.
4. Other language is possible to use on Wikipedia, with the language icon.

the end^^

These days, the Wikipedia is serious.
One day I acknowledged a fact that the A-bike page will be filled with various useful information at the time when the A-bike becomes antique like the pyramid.
Why impossible now? Competitors also can use Internet. :?

Yes. Even the Brompton Bicycle page is filled with a lot of information, I don't think it seems to become an advertisement.

Is it just because A-bike is a new product?

Please check my writings and correct.

WT...! :evil:

Why is there an external link to the folding bike section of bikeforums.net which is not counted as spam nor breaks their policy and I'm treated as a spammer as I only added the link of another folding bike forum on it? Image
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding_bicycle

The external links which I put onto the pages are definitely related to the articles themselves and provide extra information about the subjects.

Futhermore, I am not involved in the businesses of those folding bikes, e.g. A-bike and Strida manufacturers, distributors or dealers. I don't think I have any conflict of interest on the articles. I'm just an ordinary folding bike user and like the ideas of them.

Who will continue to contribute to the Wikipedia anymore as they are always trapped and treated as spammers so easily?!

I'm not technically inclined so I don't know how to edit Wikipedia, but someone should seriously consider adding a new section about the A-Bike Plus. The Wikipedia article today doesn't accurately represent the A-Bike as it seems dated, information should be provided that Sinclair responded to the original reception of the A-Bike and launched the Plus which addresses many of the original drawbacks.
