From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see that you have posted some pictures of various BMW motorcycles, presumably these are your own. However, you must put copyright and source information on the photo page or the pictures will be deleted from Wiki. Also it is better to put pictures into the Wikimedia Commons rather than Wikipedia as they can then be easily shared between language versions.

Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Here is an example of a properly credited picture in the Commons, it looks like a lot of work but if you edit the page you can see that most of it is done by a template that you can copy and paste.

[edit] Moving a page

I noticed that you have moved the BMW Motorcycles article by manually cutting and pasting the article. Please in future see WP:MOVE and Wikipedia:Requested_moves for the correct method for moving articles and why it is done this way instead of cutting and pasting text. --Clawed 01:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Summer

As a quick note could you try to avoid using "summer" [1] to refer to a timeframe in wikipedia and not the actual season as Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia and there are two hemispheres meaning there are summers from 21 June to 21 September and 21 December to 21 March.--Clawed 08:05, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
