Moto Guzzi V7/Ambassador/Eldorado/850 Probably redirect all these to a single-page history of this series. Main articles on each one later, if desired.
Wire wheels: Wire wheels#On motorcycles says only main article: Motorcycle construction#Wheels, but that is not a main article, it is a subsection. Bicycle wheel is a better article, but none of these 3 actually explains how spokes support the wheel pre-stressed w/compression.

@Colonies Chris and Daniel Case: Maybe we should follow AP and DoD style guides for this. I believe they both refer to "the Pentagon". [23][24] ☆ Bri (talk) 14:33, 6 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, I was going to check AP ... thanks for doing that. If both AP and DoD say to lowercase it (except, of course, for the obvious exception of opening a sentence), I think it's settled. That's better guidance than we got in this infamous example. Daniel Case (talk) 14:48, 6 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
To clarify; my disagreement is not about capitalisation. I made this change, and continued to reinstate it, because "the Pentagon" is the wrong link (click on it and see where it takes you). I don't much care whether it's the Pentagon or "The Pentagon". Colonies Chris (talk) 15:05, 6 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
