I would say Brabham BT49 (new GA) for the selected article, and one of the two shots of the Monza starting grid for featured picture. It's been a bit of a thin month for free photos on Flickr! Oh, and I've bumped up Stefan Bellof to C class - good work, and I think it could reach GA standard with some more references. :) --Midgrid(talk) 16:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the fixes I missed. I have to go out now, but I will deliver the issue to the remaining subscribers later today.--Midgrid(talk) 15:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Cs-wolves, I created 2012 Intercontinental Rally Challenge season by mistake when I was creating the 2011 article. Not sure if I should tag it for deletion or keep it. What do you think? BTW I think you live in Scotland, are you going to the Rally Scotland? Bjmullan (talk) 20:33, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Latest comment: 14 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi, saw your revert to 2010 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season, please warn vandal if you can; twinkle can help to add the warnings (or tell me I and I will do it, if around). That's the third vandalism by that editor, and never been warned (I have done it now for this latest piece User talk:79.108.9.152) - they earlier did this edit, which was much later corrected back. I know there's no guarantee that an IP is static, but that's the risk that IP users have to live with. P.S. I think you are doing a very good job with these motocycling pages, I see you quickly kill off all the non ref material and rumours.  Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:34, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes! Quite a common problem, what with teams being invented, drivers being invented, and now Arnoux's career being extended! Wonders will never cease. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:44, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh God yes. I remember him at Ligier, crawling around then punting off whoever tried to lap him! Those were the days... Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
I seem to recall that too. Never a dull moment with Hunt - particularly if Patrese was on screen! I miss Hunt. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:53, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
He was pretty harsh on Patrese, and I think general consensus emerged that a number of factors were to blame for Peterson's accident, but Hunt carried on ranting about poor Riccardo. A bit like Senna, Hunt was incredibly charismatic, but nobody could really say they liked everything about him! He was a fantastic foil for Murray Walker, who used to get audibly annoyed by Hunt at times, but they sparked off each other so well. Brundle is good, but rarely controversial or exciting. I'll have a look for that book - books on Hunt are always worth a read. I particularly liked this one which has little anecdotes from all kinds of people who knew him. Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, Murray is a nice guy - never one to seek out drama! I think you're right about Brundle - he's pretty well liked at the moment, and if he started to take on the Hunt "irascible" persona, he would rub some people up the wrong way. I guess that commentators, like drivers, have to consider corporate niceties and try to keep everyone happy. I never liked James Allen, I have to say, but Legard seems ok. A bit nondescript - a bit like Jonathan Palmer in the co-commentator role before Brundle - but a pleasant guy, and not irritating, which is a blessing. I'm not sure I'd find Cox as easy to live with! Christopher Hilton - I quite liked his Senna stuff, though there's so much Senna info out there... I'm glad that Hunt book is a big one - I do like to get my teeth into these things. Off to bed now, or else I'll sleep through the morning... again! :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:30, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
I like what you did with the Bellof article - great work :) He deserves more of a spotlight than his article had provided. I've never seen a book on Bellof, maybe there's one in German that needs translating! I'd love to see a book on David Purley, but apparently his family and those who knew him prefer to keep a lot of the detail of his life to themselves, which I guess we have to respect. Shame though, there's a fantastic book in there. Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:59, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Maybe not IP, but still crap. Another terrible idea from a common source. Let's hope common sense prevails and everyone knocks the idea on the head. A few of us spent weeks / months doing those tables. Make sure you have your say! Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:20, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Couldn't agree more. She takes a policy that has been set for years, that nobody has ever had a problem with, and decides that it's an open book and we need consensus. And yet again she makes her change and then wants to seek consensus for it. She has no idea of policy. Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:27, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Exactly, and Moss' table sums it right up. It would make the table useless for following his career, which is the whol point of the table. Bollocks is a fine way of describing the idea. It really irritates me when someone tries to shoot down a good policy because he/she has some totally irrational problem with it. Especially when they try and paint it as a "problem that really needs fixing". Ugh. Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:43, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
Indeed. Of course, she would find one table that hadn't been expanded... Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:32, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
I hope so too. I'm pretty sure there are very few unexpanded tables - Pyrope was doing quite a few of the last remaining ones. Notice how she drops any part of her argument that is utterly shot down in flames... Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
No, me neither, but there might be one or two, I guess. I liked "bastardised" too, but sadly she didn't bite! Hahah.. A couple more editors have had their say so it's now 4:1. Hopefully one or two more will join in and we can kick it into touch. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:53, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
I hope so. She's edit-warring at Barrichello's article now, pretending that multi-row tables are some kind of novelty that shouldn't exist because she wasn't consulted. When her ridiculous idea is blown out of the water, I'll revert it. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, but I am on a strict schedule this week, and I want to aski you if you would finish the race results table on 2010 Bank of America 500. I still havn't finished the race summary, and todays Thursday. Tomorrow is when I need to start adding to the next article! If you would, here is the link. Thanks and happy editing: Nascar1996 01:32, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again, also when is the F1 race, I might watch it (I love any type of motorsports). Also, F1 is a lot simpler than NASCAR to cover. Nascar1996 02:03, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Well, I can't watch it; starts at the same time as the NASCAR race. I may be switching channels in the commecials. Nascar1996 02:10, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I misread it, I thought is said p.m. However, 1 a.m. is also very early, I go to bed thirty minutes prior. Nascar1996 02:24, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
Since I am going to offline next Wendseday, will you finish the results table that is hidden below the qualifying table? Thanks. Nascar1996 03:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Do you work on the race summary for Formula One articles? Nascar1996 17:41, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Okay, I was wondering because the next race's race summary will have 1 lead change every lap almost. And such as 2010 Aaron's 499, the prose is horrible. Do you have an idea how I can imporve this? Nascar1996 17:54, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, for the example that will help me a lot. Nascar1996 18:18, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but how am I starting off with this article's race summary? Am I on the right track, or do I need to do something different? Nascar1996 21:33, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I would like you watch over the article (if you can of course), and what did you mean by "But, I'll let you have a stab through it first, if that's alright with you?" Nascar1996 21:40, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Okay. This is what I am going by to make the race summary. You can read it as well. Nascar1996 21:51, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
How have I done, after completing 69 laps of 188 on the race summary? Also, (just to make sure) are you still going to complete the race results? Nascar1996 01:58, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
Have you ever nominated a picture for FA class or Valued class? Nascar1996 17:59, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Since you work on a newsletter, when do you think NASCAR's newsletter should change to Volume 2? It was created in June or July. Nascar1996 21:03, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

What would you do? Nascar1996 21:15, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Abarth actual standings and new championship

Latest comment: 14 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

I'm also waiting the final standings according to rules. Rules say drivers have to compete at least in 5 events (with Monza compulsory) to be awarded points and enter the final classification.

We have to create the new page for the new chapionship European + Italian, and related annual season one. I guess It's becoming an important series in the future. Giagi (talk) 15:09, 23 October 2010 (UTC)


This is what Rules state (almost litterally translated):

Each driver, to enter the Final Standings of the Championship, must have competed (*) in five events (**), if not, panalty of not acquisition of the scores.

(*) Competed: having passed the scrutineering and then be verified. (**) In the five events must to be included the lastone. Giagi (talk) 15:35, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Hahahah!! I'll suggest it to them! The mighty Orient have given me many, many days and nights of worry and stress, but this one was a whole new level... Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:20, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I was driving to London from Manchester and I had terrible trouble concentrating on the road at times! I really wished I'd been there. Orient were typical Orient for about 75 minutes, i.e. hopeless - 2-0 down, we'd had our centre-half sent off and Droylsden were hacking our young Spurs lad Paul-Jose M'Poku to pieces because they couldn't think of any other way to cope with him. Eventually they brought him down in the box and we scored a penalty. Then Droylsden also had a man sent off, and our substitute scored an equaliser in the last minute. Then our penalty scorer, our last remaining centre half, was also sent off to make it 9 v 10. Into extra time, and M'Poku was still running riot - he scored to make it 3-2, and Droylsden collapsed. They hacked M'Poku down again and got another man sent off to even up the numbers at 9 each, and Orient just took over. As each goal went in, Droylsden just gave up. They even had their manager sent to the stands for running on to the pitch and having a go at one of our players. Orient's pro-level fitness certainly contributed to it - Droylsden's right winger was seriously overweight for example - but I think a big part of Droylsden's collapse was that they were seconds away from winning and then suddenly had to face extra time. They lost heart, sadly for them. But they were terribly cocky before and during the game, and they deserved to get thrashed, albeit late in the day! Fantastic O's on the way to Wembley-O *cough* hahaha... Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Yes, I generally like non-league teams until they come up against Orient, then I instantly class them as jumped-up amateur muppets who are there for the beating. But I never learn - I've seen Orient shuffled out of the cup by such luminaries as Enfield, Hendon and Margate ("Come on O's! They wear kiss-me-quick hats!") We will get horribly mauled by Norwich - they beat us 4-0 in the league last season, and they're better now. But at least it's a fairly short trip back home afterwards for the lads! Doncaster away will be hard work - they will fancy it and I can already hear the Wullufs saying, "Ah well, at least we can concentrate on the league". I have no idea why you're down there near the bottom - when I see Wolves on Match of the Day they always seem like a decent footballing side. I think they'll get the required results before long :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:32, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, Norwich seem to be getting better all the time, which is a shame for us. As you say, when they're good they're very good indeed. If your lot can get something from Brum and WBA, then put away Wigan and Satan's West Ham (we at Orient hate West Ham), then that would be a great platform to work on for the following few games. All things being equal, Wolves have more quality than Wigan or the Evil Hammers, so there are 6 points for the taking. Even Liverpool are beatable, I would think. Positive thinking!! Says the Orient fan... hahaha.. off to bed, night! Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:54, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
I was starting to forget that Taarabt was even on the pitch. Apparently he blows hot and cold, but when he's hot he tends to hog the ball all the time and annoy his team-mates. I'm not sure he's the type of player a club would really enjoy having anyway! Let's see how many points your lot can haul in over the Christmas period and see how the land lies in the new year. Got to stay positive! As an Orient fan, I take optimism and positivity to levels that start to attract the men in white coats. See the Liverpool fixtures as an opportunity to steal six points from the Reds in the space of a few weeks! We might be persuaded to lend you our elderly talisman Scott McGleish if you're really stretched, so long as you don't damage him ;) Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:04, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Hahaha Taarabt did look particularly convincing when walking off the pitch, it's clearly the best part of his game! I've changed my mind about lending McGleish to you anyway, he scored again for us today - first time we've won at Tranmere since 1987. Must break out the celebratory beverages! :D Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:06, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
That's it, keep the faith! I'll be watching the results. And help to send those nasty Hammers back to the Championship where they belong! Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:25, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Stranger things have happened! In 1978 we got to the semis, beating Chelsea along the way ;) Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:40, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Ah, the play-offs would be amazing. Only six points away at the moment! Only two points from the drop zone though :/ Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:43, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
Ah, yes! The power of positive thinking! This could be just the beginning! ;) Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:15, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
That's quite alright! Jubilation is encouraged on my page ;) Yeah, a frozen pitch (even though it was covered) and Plymouth Argyle were coming a long way so Orient had to make an early call on the pitch. Nobody wants to travel 250 miles to Leyton for nothing! Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:45, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Unlucky with your game being off too - weather is awful everywhere. Shame I have to drive from Cornwall to London again tomorrow morning! Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:11, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Automated delivery of the newsletter

OK then! I think that the request just has to be submitted when we want it to be delivered, so we can do it on the day.

Yes! Not a record (cheeky!) but a fantastic win. I was the guy dancing round a very sleepy town with the Orient shirt on singing "4-0" for hours on Saturday.

That's right! Back in the very early days of my support for the club - that cup run might have been what helped turn me into the lunatic O that I am today :) We've never played you in the Cup! So this year seems as good a year as any to start. I think the last time we played you was in 1988, which was maybe during the awful drop you had into the old Division 4... how times change! Bretonbanquet (talk) 02:20, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
Fairly sure it was this season - dangerous site, that - I can spend ages there sometimes! Looks you did the double on us that season as you eased your way to the legendary Div 4 title.

Yes... got to feel for him though. But even so, I'd take survival over a cup run any time! Despite that, Orient will be happy to bundle the Gooners out of the cup in the next round - let them concentrate on the league too ;) Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:28, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
They won't be feeling jammy when they're leaving Brisbane Road on the wrong end of a beating. I can see Wenger mumbling, "We underestimated them and my team of 15 year olds were not up to the task."

restore ndash coding for ease of editing

Latest comment: 13 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi, CS-wolves.

I have noticed that you have replaced all of the HTML ndash coding in the main Florida Gators article. Our prior use of the HTML coding for ndashes in these articles' tables and text was not an accident; like most editors, my eyes cannot discern the differences between the ASCII characters for a hyphen, an endash or an mdash when editing code. It is my understanding that there is no preferred form of coding for ndashes, etc. (See WP:DASH) As a courtesy to myself and the other editors who have wrtten virtually all of these tables and text, I would be grateful if you would not make any further such changes to the Florida Gators articles so I can continue to work on them without going blind and batty. It is my understanding that changing coding for the sake of coding, when an article already has an established and uniform pattern, is frowned upon. Thank you for your understanding.

He was only ever at Spyker so they could have a Dutch driver in the sport. I hope he doesn't get signed to Hispania the way Karthikeyan did. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 21:49, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
I reckon the 107% rule was just there to appease Ferrari. Shortly before Montreal, they went on that tirade against the new teams for simply existing, and then during the race, Alonso got held up behind di Grassi long enough for Button to overtake. Exactly what Alonso was doing there remains a mystery, because di Grassi was off the racing line to let Alonso through. Even if di Grassi wasn't there, Alonso probably would have lost the place to Button anyway because he was so farr off-line. Because Ferrari was whinging about it, the 107% rule was brought back. I think Monaco was the only race last year where Hispania would have been in serious trouble with the 107% rule. I honestly don't think Hispania will be as bad this year as everyone assumes they will be. The F111 might be based on the F110, but apparently Geoff Willis had the plans for the TF110 long enough to start working some of Toyota's ideas into the chassis before the deal with Toyota fell through.

Well, Kolles has said that Senna will not be driving for them in 2011. Normally I'd be against adding a driver under the "Exited Formula 1" subheading on the season page when there is still an available seat, but we've got the reference to prove it. Senna won't be racing in 2011, and I don't think it's that big a loss. To day, Villeneuve, Hill and Rosberg are the only drivers who have lived up to their family name. Although there might be one or two I've forgotten. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:34, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

Since your familar with other types of motorsports, do you think our project should include how the season's races were televised? Such as what I have done at 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series? I'm starting to wonder once I seen some comments about it at WT:F1. Thanks. --Nascar1996 14:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

What about listing international channels? In the race calendar its only the US channels. Nascar1996 15:28, 29 January 2011 (UTC)
