  • Comment: Article created in my userspace on 6 May, moved to mainspace on 12 May.

Created by SamBlob (talk). Self nominated at 15:22, 12 May 2013 (UTC).

  • New article moved from mainspace a couple days ago, 2315 chars
  • QPQ done
  • Images are PD
  • Hook is sufficiently brief, and verified
  • Article is cited inline
  • Sources look sufficiently reliable. The book seems a little light on the scholarship end, but it isn't an essential source for too much of the article.
  • Sources verify my spotchecks of the article, and duplication detector found no significant copying or paraphrase
Issues/Suggestions
  • For the hook, it might make it more interesting to give Indian's reason, making Harley-Davidson's decision look foolish
ALT1 = "... that in 1917, the year Indian discontinued its Model O flat-twin motorcycle (pictured) because of poor sales, Harley-Davidson introduced a flat-twin motorcycle?" What is your opinion of this hook?
