    Hi Guys 'n Gals.....

    this is from another forum that I am involved in. Thought it might be of interest to some.....

    Hi Uncle Ho,

     

    We would like to welcome you to the dawn of a new motorcycle resource, and we need your help to make it happen.

     

    http://www.twowheelswiki.com/

     

    What is twowheelswiki.com?

     

    Quite simply twowheelswiki.com is a free content encyclopedia project that operates the same way as the iconic Wikipedia Encyclopedia.

     

    The main point of difference is twowheelswiki.com has been created as resource that is specific to motorcycle related subjects for use by motorcyclists and motorcycle enthusiasts.

     

    How does it get content?

     

    The content of twowheelswiki.com is created by you, the enthusiasts. Anyone can be a contributor and you don’t need to have specialised qualifications or be an authority on the subject to contribute. Anyone can contribute on any subject that takes their fancy. So long as you have an interest, a thirst to contribute truthful and interesting facts, then you can help out.

     

    OK, so how do I contribute?

     

    Let’s say you have an interests in ‘Suzuki GSX-R1000’s’ or say.... good techniques in 'how tighten a motorcycle chain’, and you want to contribute on either of these subjects. Firstly you do a search for this motorcycle or ‘bike chain’ in the search box to the top right of twowheelswiki.com to see if someone else has already created an article on the particular subject.

     

    If there is already an article created by someone before you and you think you can contribute further on the same subject, or even correct any factual errors that may be present in the article, then all you do is click the ‘edit’ link and away you go, start typing.

     

    If there is no article in existence, the search result will tell you and give you the option to “create this page”, and away you go, you can begin drafting an article for others to read on your virginal subject.

     

    There are various recourses available which will assist you in formatting your page, link off site, and also link on site to other subjects that have been created on twowheelwiki.com which you may refer to in your contribution.

     

    How do I get started?

     

    Simply start editing by clicking the edit button on any subject. it is helpful if you are a registered user which you can do by clicking the log in/create account link to the left. This allows you to use advanced editing features and track your own changes.

     

    K go!

     

    Like any new thing, it will take time for twowheelswiki.com to be a useful resource for all motorcycle enthusiasts around the globe. But we have to start somewhere and you and the Perthstreetebikes.com (PSB community can be ones that got this baby rolling.

    Good luck! If you need help, please visit the perthstreetbikes.com twowheelswiki discussion forum here where we can all share the knowledge in finding our way through this new PSB initiative.
