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.

[edit]

Information icon 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. –MJLTalk 19:26, 18 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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. –MJLTalk 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]
