August 2008 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)
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)
