anyone want to start one? there isnt one for us so i thought we would be the perfict people to make it. anyone good with that site, seams kinda complicated.

 

I've edited Wikipedia pages but have never made one from scratch.

I suppose the easiest way to do this is to find one or two existing bike-specific pages to use as formatting examples and then just substitute the information for the KLX-250S.

Care to do the research (find some Wikipedia pages to use as examples and gather the KLX info) and then I can do the grunt work on Wikipedia?

 

sure ill look up some stuff in a bit. just seams weird that have the klr250, the klx300 and nothing for us.

let me know if you need more info, i dont start my new job till tuesday and im not going to havasu now cus my buddys wont be back till after tuesday, so ill just be drinking and watching the usgp online.

 

any update about this page? I might not know much about the KLX but I'm a web programmer and I use to have my own wikipedia for personnal notes.

I would like to help...

 

Great work punkenduro09! I can get started on the page probably this Wednesday.

Bill622,

I was just going to take punkenduro09 work and create the KLX250S Wikipedia page. As I've said, I've only edited pages—never create one from scratch. If you've got experience with creating a page from scratch and you have the time then, by all means, take the info punkenduro09 has gathered and create the page for us!

I know I won't get to it for a few days.

 

It all depends on what kind of page we want. I think we could do something nice like this page for exemple:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla

I know it's a car page but the over all layout is interesting with different generation.

I can create it without much content in it. Do we want to add the "all Kawasaki models" box at the bottom like on this page?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_KLX300R

What do you think?

 

Cool!

 

gen to gen would be nice, but im not the one adding the page so im not stressing how it looks. it was just kinda odd there wasnt one. thanks for the help editting it, i would be sooo lost.
