Moto Guzzi V7/Ambassador/Eldorado/850 Probably redirect all these to a single-page history of this series. Main articles on each one later, if desired.
Wire wheels: Wire wheels#On motorcycles says only main article: Motorcycle construction#Wheels, but that is not a main article, it is a subsection. Bicycle wheel is a better article, but none of these 3 actually explains how spokes support the wheel pre-stressed w/compression.

I don't know how to edit the page so I won't attempt to do it, but will someone change the picture of Franco? Someone used a picture of him with a covid19 mask on and you can't see his face. There are plenty of current pictures of him without a mask covering his face. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.60.231.114 (talk) 02:14, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's not possible to use just any photo; all images are considered to be copyrighted (preventing re-use by a publisher, which Wikipedia is). Only images with a specific release (usually in the form of a recognised licence) can be used. The photographers sell the right to re-use one of their images - only free images can be used and/or hosted at Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. Here is one such which I transferred recently from Flickr - File:Alex Rins 42.jpg. I can't see anything for Morbidelli.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 19:30, 21 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Couldn't you just use one that Franco has posted to social media? The picture that doesn't show any of his face can't be the only publicly available photo of him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.60.231.114 (talk) 03:47, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@67.60.231.114: If that is allowed, we should have done it a long time ago obviously. Engr.SmittyWerben 03:57, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To repeat what I posted above - all images are assumed to have copyright that belongs to the photographer OR the customer that the photographer has a contract with. It does not need to be a professional photographer, the same principle applies to everyone. Unless there is a release - usually in the form of a recognised licence, then it's not possible to use publicly (publish). Other words can be used - Copyleft, CC-0, Public Domain - but it has to be obvious - on the same page. If just any old image was copied and re-published, say from social media to here, then the photographer could sue the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) for compensation. The WMF is a charitable organisation that needs to avoid law suits.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 23:59, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
