Hello, 1joliver1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page BMW GS have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! 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 need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question.

WikiProject Motorcycling invitation

Hello 1joliver1,

You are invited to join WikiProject Motorcycling. We work together to improve motorcycling related articles. We focus on things like the most popular motorcycling articles, recognizing and improving new articles, historically important motorcycles, and more. Please share your ideas, suggestions, and questions at WikiProject Motorcycling.

To show your membership, you may care to include one of the following templates on your user page
{{User WP Motorcycling}}
 This user is a member of
WikiProject Motorcycling.
{{User WikiProject Motorcycling}}
 This user is a participant in WikiProject Motorcycling.
Adding {{Article alerts columns|Wikipedia:WikiProject Motorcycling/Article alerts}} to your user page will display current motorcycling discussions and proposals. Or add Wikipedia:WikiProject Motorcycling/Article alerts to your watchlist.

It's still not a good idea to add your own personal experiences to a Wikipedia article. All of the content should be based on published reliable sources, not reminiscences. Even with good sources, writing about yourself is usually very difficult, and often not worth it. Please come to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Motorcycling to discuss further. Several other motorcycling editors would be happy to help you. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 00:52, 31 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to BMW R1150GS. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
