Example article

Look, I'll just send this too you, an example of a recently created article. Mozambique Grand Prix. Hopefully this may help. --Falcadore (talk) 16:04, 22 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

The difference is that you actually have the time to do all that stuff at once. TollHRT52 18:54, 23 November 2012 (AEDST)

2013 Formula One season

edit

Please do not invent your own set of race numbers for F1. The FIA issues the race numbers, not Wikipedia editors. --Falcadore (talk) 07:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

You fuckin' serious? It is what the bloody numbers are gonna be anyway. Do they or do they not issue them in order of constructors championship positions of the previous year? I'm pretty sure they do. I have been waiting to do that edit for a long time and it went down the fucking shitter. Criticise me all the bloody more. TollHRT52 17:19, 29 November 2012 (AEDST)
No, not always. It is a general rule but it has been varied on a number of occasions, for example HRT and Brawn both requested their numbers be changed in their first years and it was approved. In Brawns case it had occurred when BMW-Sauber ended its Formula One journey and Sauber re-entered at the end of the list as its constructors position was no longer respected. Brawn though had already spent million on merchadising based on the numbers they expected prior to Sauber's dilemma. The FIA accedded to the request and the numbers were changed.
However the principal is the numbers are issued by the FIA and not by anyone else. And at the moment they have not done so. The moment the FIA does issue the numbers they can be added but until that point you are assuming that previous practice will take place and that is DIRECTLY against Wikipedias policy of editing in which we never, ever assume a fact is correct, we wait until it has been confirmed, in this case by the FIA. You can read about it at WP:ASSUME. Thank you for your time.
The short version is we never ever guess. We never ever assume. We wait until it is officially announced.
So tell me, did you work the numbers out yourself, or did you read it in a FIA press release? --Falcadore (talk) 06:29, 29 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

WRC 2013

edit

TollHRT52, why did you think that this edit was a good idea? The Monte Carlo and Catalunya rallies are formally classified as mixed-surface events. There was absolutely no reason to remove the Tooltips, and you gave no explanation as to why you removed them. Please be more careful in future.

Ascania Racing

edit

This is not an acceptable form of editing. There is only one way I can describe it: half-arsed. I would say that you put the bare minimum of effort into making that article, except that it's fairly obvious that you didn't put any effort into it at all. This, on the other hand, is the bare minimum of what you should have done when you created that page. Even then, it still meets the criteria for deletion, because four World Championship points in four years is hardly noteworthy.

If you are going to continue with such lazy editing, then you might as well not contribute in the first place. I have asked you in the past to be mindful of how you go about your editing because you are obviously enthusiastic about it, but you seem to have ignored any of the advice that you have been given. You barely even acknowledge it, so please leave a message here once you have read this so that I know you have read and understood it, and that way I will know that I am not wasting my time and effort trying to help you become a better editor.

The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Chevrolet Supercars ME Championship

edit
 

The article Chevrolet Supercars ME Championship has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No claim of significance (would be an A7 if you could A7 events). No in-depth sources located indicating notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ♠PMC(talk) 23:01, 30 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
