Welcome!

Hello, WulfsLayer42, and welcome to Wikipedia! I have noticed that you are fairly new! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I also see that some of your recent edits, such as the ones to the page Colnago, show an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that ...

...Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
...most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
...Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
...freely-licensed images should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images where they can be used on all Wikipedia projects?
...we recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process – at least until you get the hang of things?

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{Help me}} on your talk page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:25, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MJL. The photo added is my own photo of my own 1975 Colnago Super from my personal collection. There shoukdnt be any issues with that as I created the photo and uploaded it here? There is no information on these models on wikipedia and my goal of being a Wikipedian is to contribute valuable knowledge on rare bicycles. I would eventually like to see wikipedia filled with vast knowledge of bicycles produced by manufacturers as the way it sits today, i find it severely lacking critical information.

December 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm MJL. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Colnago, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It may be removed and archived in the page history, but if you'd like to include a citation to support it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:26, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay im going to look at the begunners guide to add souces. Not many people know more about Colnago than me and im trying to improve the oage by adding info that should have already been there.

Honestly, if you just toned down the promotional nature of the page (or even just wrote it in the first person), then it'd probably be fine. You could also just cut everything in the "Early life" section and just keep the short personal description of yourself. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 19:47, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I did so thanks. WulfsLayer42 (talk) 19:58, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page should not be speedily deleted because... Hey i am new to wikipedia, i can add citations sure. Im just learning how. I am a Colnago enthuasist and i have a vast wealth of knowledge of these bicycles and notice they have little to no information of thier steel frames produced in the 60s-80s. --63.135.31.170 (talk) 19:44, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Im not sure how that happened, but am logged back in now. WulfsLayer42 (talk) 19:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
