Good job!
editCongratulations on making it onto the Main page and the “Did you know…” section. New content creation is the heart and soul of the encyclopedia and your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for what you do. Best Regards,
This article needs added to, and needs corrected
editMy name is Josh White, I am the subject of the article. It needs updated, and corrected with factual information as some of it isnt correct. Please message my Facebook fan page as I am unfamiliar with wikipedia, for more and clear information.
- Hi Josh. I mainly reverted your edits because they were unsourced and because some of the information went directly against reliable sources that were already cited on the page. Additionally, to maintain a neutral point of view, subjects are highly discouraged from editing their own pages. As a kind of compromise, if you can find reliable sources detailing your awards, spouse, etc. and plans with Vizion, drop them on the talk page and then I can add them to the page in a way that satisfies the neutral point of view and all formatting requirements of the page. I am sorry if you consider this "messing your page up", but I generally know the creator of your page as a well-intentioned editor who does his research - always. If you have any questions, reply below, on your talk page, or my talk page. Regards, Willsome429 (say hey or see my edits!) 00:59, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

- I chacked most of the pages, and most of it checks out - beginning at age eight, moving up to drags, etc. I couldn't find anything, however, to corroborate the claim of not running at all this year and then running full-time with Vizion in 2020 - merely mentions of "in the future" on the sites of both driver and team. And keep in mind that for a source to be included on the page, it has to follow the WP:RS guidelines - independent of yourself, so not on any of your social media pages or your website. If there are any individual links from outside sources, feel free to also list them below and note what info they would be useful to add, because I can't really tell what about these sources are different than what is on the page.

Updates to Josh White (Racing Driver) page
editHello. I was told to come to this Talk page to request changes to be made on Josh White (Racing Driver) page. Much of what's on the page is incorrect, including statistics, personal information and information regarding his military service. How can we work to get his page updated? Thanks.
