[To the "No One" Who's In Charge at Wikipedia:]

We would greatly appreciate it if you would please forward this message to the person in charge of the person in charge of motorcycle-related entries to Wikipedia:

"MOTORCYCLING ADVOCACY" IS A MEANINGLESS PHRASE [and that makes this article a big pile of horseshit:

http:\\en·wikipedia·org/wiki/Motorcycling_advocacy

-- "motorcycling advocacy" is a meaningLESS phrase.

Google results (10/18/09): 347

-- "motorcyclists' rights" is a meaningFUL phrase.

Google results (10/18/09): 30,700

-- "bikers' rights" is a meaningFUL phrase.

Google results (10/18/09): 101,000

-- even "motorcycle rights" (ugh) is a meaningFUL phrase.

Google results (10/18/09): 204,000

BUT "MOTORCYCLING ADVOCACY" IS A MEANINGLESS PHRASE.

I have often referenced Wikipedia as "substantial authoritative support" in my bikers' rights articles and other releases. But if Wikipedia persists in defining meaningless phrases after domain experts have informed them of the fallacy, then I'll have no choice but to warn my readers of same, and do my research elsewhere.

If I come across here as contentious or confrontational, it's because I am. That said, it serves Wikipedia's best interests far better than ours for for Wikipedia to keep bullsh*t out of its database.
