Talk:Kawasaki Ninja 1000

Interlanguage links

The introduction states the identity of Ninja 1000 and Z1000SX:

″The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 (in some markets the Z1000SX) is a sport touring motorcycle introduced in 2011. Other than its name, it is unrelated to the Ninja 1000R produced from 1986–89, or to other Ninja motorcycles.″

en:Ninja 1000 links to

1. ja:カワサキ・ニンジャ1000,
2. Ninja 1000 (Q6379807) (created 08:34, 6 March 2013 by ‎Sk!dbot).

de:Z1000 SX links to

1. ja:カワサキ・Z1000SX (redirects to ja:カワサキ・ニンジャ1000),
2. Z1000 SX (Q18249256) (created 17:15, 14 October 2014 by 79.210.115.58).

To wonder about:

1. Why these different links, when en:Ninja 1000 and de:Z1000SX are identical?
2. Why no linking of en:Ninja 1000 and de:Z1000SX?
3. The item Z1000 SX (Q17216242) (created 04:44, 17 June 2014 by ‎GZWDer (flood)):
   1. Why this item at all, when no pages link to it?
   2. Why is it a redirect page, not a disambiguation page?
      1. Why does it link to Z1000 SX (Q18249256) exclusively?
      2. Why does it not link to Ninja 1000 (Q6379807) also?

The items in chronological order (for merging into the older item):

1. Ninja 1000 (Q6379807) (created 08:34, 6 March 2013 by ‎Sk!dbot),
2. Z1000 SX (Q17216242) (created 04:44, 17 June 2014 by GZWDer (flood)),
3. Z1000 SX (Q18249256) (created 17:15, 14 October 2014 by 79.210.115.58).

I agree that the ninja 1000 is not related to the Ninja 1000R. It is related to the z1000 which is related to the z1 from the 70s.72bikers (talk) 17:36, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

@72bikers: It's been solved. Thanks. --Je suis Nigérian (talk) 08:19, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Disruptive editing

Main page: WP:DE

Someone made 16 edits, thereby (re-)inserting four malformed links:

1. http://www.ridermagazine.com/output.cfm?id=2718163 ("Not Found")
2. http://www.kawasaki.com.au/index.php?category=motorcycles&sub_category=5&product=203&product_details=features (Redirect to http://www.kawasaki.com.au/)
3. http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/bikes-2011-kawasaki-ninja-1000/ ("Hmm, we can’t reach this page")
4. The newly added link http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/kawasakis-new-for-2017-ninja-650-z650-z900-ninja-1000-and-zx-10rr// (Double slash at the end).

The first three links were already fixed long ago:

1. http://ridermagazine.com/2011/06/03/2011-kawasaki-ninja-1000-road-test/
2. https://www.kawasaki.com/products/2017-Ninja-1000-ABS
3. https://ultimatemotorcycling.com/2013/09/11/2014-kawasaki-ninja-1000-fearless-innovation-video/

These edits mostly are without summary legend, and all of them ignore previous edits and their summary legends, e.g.:

1. References to WP:BUNDLING or WP:CS:
   1. "Bundling has several advantages", or
   2. ″Articles should not undergo large-scale conversion between formats without consensus to do so.″
2. Date formatting (e.g. February 2, 2011 vs. 2011-02-02), inserts of missing parameters (e.g. accessdate), fixed external links (as mentioned above), inserts of blank space (e.g. in <references /> instead of <references/>), etc.
3. One edit even ignores two intermediate revisions by two different users and simply restores an old deficient version — tacitly, without comment: Revision as of 18:41, 19 December 2016.

I agree that the unnamed editor in question has been making problematic edits all over the project. I have been avoiding interacting with them because of issues over collegiality and comprehension referenced at Talk:Kawasaki Ninja H2#Battlegrounding and article ownership.

Talk:Honda VTR1000F is an example of yet another editor withdrawing from contributing because of interactions with the same guy (Arrivisto said: "I would like to help this page move onwards, but it would be a waste of my time"). It is a serious problem. Brianhe (talk) 15:41, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Someone made additional 8 edits, thereby adding slashes, resulting in four links with double trailing slash and one dead link:

2. http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/kawasakis-new-for-2017-ninja-650-z650-z900-ninja-1000-and-zx-10rr//

A further example of this ongoing difficulty may be seen at the Talk:Yamaha XSR900 page. Arrivisto (talk) 15:36, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Someone made an edit without information content.
