Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Schwinn Bicycle Company do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Links to File:Al Fritz found out about the Stingray in 1963 from Peter Mole.jpg

File:Al Fritz found out about the Stingray in 1963 from Peter Mole.jpg

Please stop inserting links to this image into articles.

It does not appear to contain the information or prove the point you claim, that Huffy had the first such bike.

It does not identify who wrote it, when it was written, or who published it

Multiple links to such an image is not how references are provided on Wikipedia

-AndrewDressel (talk) 21:19, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

I posted the page I listed because the Wiki Schwinn Page says Al Fritz went to Cali in 1962 and found out about the High Rise Movement. This is untrue because Al Fritz has many Interviews where he tells he went in 1963 to Cali. I posted the page that is an interview with Al Fritz about going in 1963. Somebody has changed the Schwinn page to say 1962 so they can further their Myths and lies to be the first High Rise Bicycle. The other page I posted which is an article from a 1963 Newspaper shows Peter Mole and Huffy having a press release about the new Huffy Penguin High Rise bicycle. The article dates itself to March 3rd 1963. Which is exactly a month and a half before Schwinn even put together a proto type of the Stingray. This is why people no longer trust Wikipedia it has been hijacked by people who want to see history through clouded eyes! I will not stop until you people stop posting biased info to further their agenda! I just want the truth posted!

That is all fine, and I want to get these article correct as well, but the images you have posted do not prove your point. There is no year visible anywhere in the image that you have titled "File:March 3rd 1963.jpg". For any of these images to be useful, they need the same information any other decent reference requires: author, publisher, and date. -AndrewDressel (talk) 22:53, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Please stop uploading scans of things you didn't create

Please do not upload any more scans of books, magazines, or photos unless you yourself are the author and creator, and you are the legal copyright owner. If Motorbooks International published a book Copyright 1977, that means they own the copyright, not you. You can't just upload it and change the license to CC-by-SA. If you didn't take the picture, or you didn't write it, then you're not the copyright holder.

It is not necessary to scan books to cite sources. Read WP:CITE and Wikipedia:Offline sources. All you have to do is provide the title, date, author and page number. If you've got more, like the publisher or ISBN, that's great. The point is to provide enough information for other editors to find the source with a reasonable amount of effort on their part; you don't have to provide an online link to the source. Other editors are obliged to assume you're telling the truth about what the source says, as explained in one of Wikipedia's fundamental principles, Wikipedia:Assume good faith. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 23:40, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi HuffyHistory, as this image is obviously a scan, you need to provide evidence of permission from the original rights holder. In case you are representing the company in question, ask their legal department to mail a permission to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. --Túrelio (talk) 08:38, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (HuffyHistory) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

1. It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
2. Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is Huffy. Thank you.

Muscle bike

I have undone your changes to muscle bike. It appears to be a copy of the existing wheelie bike article and so is a content fork, which is to be avoided per WP:CFORK. If you have content that can be added, please add it to wheelie bike. -AndrewDressel (talk) 21:31, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
