[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Powabyke.jpg

Image:Powabyke.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Motor bike

Any special reason why Motor bike redirects to this article, but Motorbike redirects to Motorcycle? I would expect them both to redirect to Motorcycle, and Google also seems to think this is what "Motor bike" means. What do other people think? Vadmium (talk) 22:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I've often heard about people that ride a bicycle refer to themself as a biker. The difference between a biker and a cyclist is that the biker will use brute force and try to keep his bicycle in top gear, whereas a cyclist will generally keep his performance in a peak ranger with an average RPM. I believe Bike may refer to cycle and hence refer to bicycle. Whereas motorbike is a term often used for the motorcycle which may have an related etymological link to this article. Let's just say, for me, I couldn't really care at this point since the more you become experienced in a subject the more you question it and wonder what is the true answer. --CyclePat (talk) 20:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

I changed it so they both to point to Motorcycle. Vadmium (talk) 11:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
