[edit]This entire article is almost a copy paste from the manu. website. Mitchx3 (talk) 22:55, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I think it needs to be changed, or even removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.211.251.118 (talk) 13:54, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm a Suzuki fan, and I have a Boulevard M50 cruiser that I love, but this article is straight POV. I vote for deletion. Sd31263 (talk) 14:40, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Keep. Edit for POV.--Evilbred (talk) 15:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'ved edited this for POV. Deleted all subjective statements, all that remains should be statement of fact, or statements of purpose that would be in fact, proveable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Evilbred (talk • contribs) 16:02, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Copyright violation
[edit]Not sure who or why the whole article was wiped. I reverted. If there's issue with the article, please state your case here and find a consensus, unless you are making positive change to the article (and yes, there is quite of bit of positive change that could happen to it).--Evilbred (talk) 03:36, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- You can't add content to Wikipedia that is copy-pasted from copyrighted sources. This policy is found at Wikipedia:Copyright violations. The page Wikipedia:Copy-paste elaborates further. The original page was a copy-paste from Suzuki's website, and the few edits since then have not changed the copyrighted text significantly. Suzuki has a copyright notice here which states explicitly that you can't copy and publish any material from the site without permission.
You can take the information they published and re-publish it, but it must be expressed in a different way. You can say the same thing, but in significantly different words -- not merely a close paraphrase. See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing and Idea-expression divide. If you have more questions about copyright, the page Wikipedia:Copyright assistance has further resources.
That's the best explanation I can give for why I deleted the copyrighted material. Hopefully the pages I linked to can do a better job than me of explaining how the policy works. --Dbratland (talk) 04:18, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
