Notes in F1 Race Reports

edit

Hi, I noticed that you're adding notes sections into F1 race reports (First race, last race etc.). Generally, you should "avoid creating lists of miscellaneous facts", per the guideline WP:TRIVIA. While such sections may serve a purpose in some incomplete smaller articles, for longer articles these facts should be worked into the main body of the article. I've also noticed in a few of your edits you're also removing the trivia cleanup template - this is not usually a good idea. AlexJ (talk) 13:47, 6 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

You seem to be continuing to do this. Please stop doing this, as it is starting to become disruptive. D.M.N. (talk) 15:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
Again can I put a reminder to you that trivia sections are discouraged for the majority of articles, and for quality articles have no place at all. In addition please try and keep to a 'Neutral Point Of View' when editing avoiding terms such as "many believe" and the like. AlexJ (talk) 20:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
In the same context, stop adding information on each race article about its US broadcast. This information is entirely unrelated to the content of the article. This information is present in the 2008 Formula One season article. LeaveSleaves (talk) 20:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Even in 2009, warnings about adding trivial information and information on US Broadcasts remain. Please stop. IIIVIX (Talk) 05:56, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Apterygial 08:46, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Kevin, can I ask you again to please stop adding in the notes sections to race reports, consensus is still that these section do not belong in the articles and considerable effort is being made to remove them. Please feel free to add relevant information to the main body of text in the article, but don't add or expand notes sections. AlexJ (talk) 11:31, 16 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've removed most of the notes you've just added to the 1992 Spanish Grand Prix article. As you are well aware the consensus is that lists of notes are a poor way to manage our race reports. Some of your notes have been incorporated into a brief race report for that article. Please consider writing race reports rather than lists - to be honest it would take no extra effort on your part and would save the rest of us trouble clearing up after you. 4u1e (talk) 06:34, 25 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

2009 Formula One season

Can you please use the Show Preview function instead of save page? That way when you notice your edit does not work it will not stuff up a table for someone else to fix. --Falcadore (talk) 05:13, 2 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Phoenix Finance-Hart

edit

Hi Kevin,

Phoenix Finance-Hart never been in any FIA-Entrylist! I think it is not important for this article. For example: In 2010 Stefan GP also not listed in the entrylist, only mention in the article.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited MTR Metro Cammell EMU (DC), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Island Line. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
