Western Wheel Works

The article would benefit from a section about what happened to Western Wheel Works. Also, when you create an article, you have the option for one week to submit a Did You Know... to appear on Wikipedia's main page. To find out how, click on Help in left menu and search on DYK.

David notMD Thanks much I appreciate it. I know that the owner transferred it to his relations about 1893 - then there was a "trust" with other bike manufacturers about 1900, then the bicycle buying petered out. Perhaps because of the new thing: cars. I started another one for the Indiana Bicycle Company and found that they were making electric cars starting in 1896. I am not sure if I exhausted the research avenues for the WWW yet. Regarding the DYK, I will have to see if can navigate the requirements. Bruxton (talk) 14:51, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Patrick Cunnane

So, are you going to submit Draft:Patrick Cunnane to AfC or not? David notMD (talk) 15:56, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi @David notMD: I was unsure about whether to advance it. I just made it a draft and worked on other articles.. What do you think about the notability of Cunnane? Bruxton (talk) 16:07, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

DYK for Honda Z50RD

On 25 December 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Honda Z50RD, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Christmas Special Honda minibike, which struggled to sell upon release in 1986, is now worth nearly $10,000 as a collector's item? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Honda Z50RD. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Honda Z50RD), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
