Wikipedia

Today's task was to look up two articles on Wikipedia to rate their accuracy and/or content. The first one I looked up was the Evolution engine made by Harley Davidson. After reading I found the article to be accurate, encompassing the relevant facts. As it is a factual topic there appears to be no bias, just facts. It follows the guidelines which are fairly generic except with one interesting exception-"The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth....".This is the actual wording on there site. If there was anything I could add to the information provided is probably that although the year the engine was superseded being 1999 is correct, it doesn't mention that both this and the following engine were produced and sold in different models simultaneously that year. The Evolution was sold in Softails whereas the newer Twin Cam was placed in the Tourers and Dynas.
