Hadlow Cricket Club

My pleasure. A pity there is not more data about the old club. Regards. --Jim Hardie (talk) 16:15, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Slindon Cricket Club

Hello again, Mjroots, and thank you very much for the nomination. But really I have done nothing except split the cricket content from the village article per your own action re Hadlow and Hadlow Cricket Club. The author of all the Slindon cricket information seems to have been User:BlackJack. Best wishes. --Jim Hardie (talk) 21:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello again, Mjroots. I've done the inline citations for this article: could you take a look and let me know if it is okay? Thanks again. Best regards. --Jim Hardie (talk) 20:19, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, Michael, it's there. Nice to see. Thanks very much for your efforts. Best wishes. --Jim Hardie (talk) 18:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Oz GP

This is an unbelievable race! I haven't seen anything of Hamilton, he's had a boring race lol. Nakajima might even get a point here...

Kubica

I realised it wasn't intentional vandalism - sorry if I gave the impression that it thought it was. Cheers. DH85868993 (talk) 08:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Grand Prix

Thanks for the tip, man. I was getting a little annoyed at how three people were trying to edit at once, and one of them was saving every time he added a new line. I've sorted it out now; the page is pretty much done for today aside from cosmetics.Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:58, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

2009 F1 season

I thought that was the probable source and wasn't too impressed but it could have been worse, they might have meant one of these. Enter CambridgeBayWeather, waits for audience applause, not a sausage 17:56, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Flags in F1 articles

Hi there, I see you changed a flag in one of the F1 articles and you got reverted by the editor who just watches F1 articles in order to revert the flags to her chosen preference, and then leaves a false link to a discussion in her edit summary. The correct link is Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Motorsport#Flags in articles. We're trying to finally decide on a proper policy for the flag icons, and your input would be very welcome.

Renault Formula One crash controversy

You're quick. I was just about to undo my revision myself after looking it up once I saw "tyre" somewhere else. Oh well, I learned something new. Cheer! --Bark (talk) 20:42, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry

I'm sorry because edition in 2010 Formula One season page. Cdmafra (talk) 15:45, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

2009 Australian Grand Prix

About your remarks re the contributions of an IP to this article. I've noticed that two editors have been warned, User talk:115.134.109.92 and User talk:115.134.153.74, and one blocked, User talk:115.135.171.160 for similar edits over the last day or so. Could I just add my agreement with any suspicions you may have that they may be linked in some way? Britmax (talk) 21:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: 2010 F1 season/Hamilton

Don't fret man, I'm sure we've all made errors like that at some point during our Wiki lives. We learn and learn every day. :) Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 15:47, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

I know, but I was just trying to trim some of the page size by removing the refnames of references that did not have another reference point in the article, as in the only mentioning of the reference. Bad idea in hindsight, but just trying to trim every little unnecessary byte off the page. Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 17:52, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Already responded there! Cs-wolves(talk) 18:45, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I also believe the ref name tags give unnecessary weight to the article.  Kitchen Roll  (Exchange words) 18:18, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Lewis Hamilton

It'll probably help that the 115.134.x.x range is out of the way; though I'm sure that's not the only IP range in Malaysia! Black Kite (t) (c) 09:25, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Flags for F1 race

You undid my edit on the 2010 European Grand Prix because I changed the flag to European one from Spanish one. I think it is better to put the European one, because it is officially named the European Grand Prix. Of course, there is a Spanish Grand Prix, but all other races have their respective flags, bar this one. M-R-Schumacher (talk) 14:55, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Ok, seen it. Also, thank you for putting my edit as a good faith edit, and not vandalism - because I just edited it thinking that the European flag was the correct one. M-R-Schumacher (talk) 17:09, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you are quite correct about everyone learning about Wiki (but I guess everyone will be learning about it until they reitre, and the site does need admins :P). And, I am also trying to fight vandalism, so it would have been quite ironic if I were accused of it! M-R-Schumacher (talk) 17:26, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikiproject Water Sports

Hi Mjroots

I thought you might be interested in joining this new project Wikipedia:WikiProject Water sports/RNLI task force, as you have contributed to articles concerning Lifeboats and shipping  stavros1  ♣ 

2011 Australian Grand Prix

Please do not include blank pre-set sections. A wikipedia article should be ready to be read with whatever information is current at any point in its life. If you are going to 'set up' articles for future expansion, use hides to remove the blank headings from view of those who step into the article for a look prior to its expansion. Just a touch of professional presentation. --Falcadore (talk) 07:59, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

2013 Formula One season

Hi, Mj,

I've come to you before with a couple of requests, and I'm hoping you can help me out with another one. A few recent developments have lead regular contributors over at WP:F1 to belive that it is time to create a page for the 2013 Formula One season. However, the page has been pre-emptively created half a dozen times in the past, and admins have prevented the page from being created until it is unlocked; we are 18 months away from the start of the 2013 season, and by comparison, the 2012 page was created almost three years in advance. I am hoping you will be able to open up the ability to create the 2013 page, or at least direct me to someone who can if you do not have that happy power, please. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 06:42, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I've changed the salting on the page from create=sysop to create=autoconfirmed, that should let you get to work on it, I think. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 07:05, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

That's fine, Bushranger. Not too soon to create the article now, considering there are drivers with contracts to race in 2013. Mjroots (talk) 07:41, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Folkestone Racecourse

Thanks for the message. I'd say its "closing" rather than "closed". The racecourse's own website shows that they still have fixtures left in 2012 and the news story on the Racing Post says it will close at the end of 2012, so I'd say for the moment it should still be marked as an active racecourse until it finally shuts it doors. What do you think?--Bcp67 (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

Stoffel Vandoorne

Sorry about edit warring on the Stoffel Vandoorne article. I just wanted there to be a photo from 2016, because Stoffel looks way younger than he does now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArgiargiargiFFF (talk • contribs) 20:42, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Lewis Hamilton (Opening paragraph)

(Relatively inexperienced Wikipedia user here). I'm having issues with Lobo151, which has descended into edit warring. I was wondering if you could provide some expertise on the manner, thanks. Formulaonewiki (talk) 19:37, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

@Formulaonewiki: am aware of the issue, said editor has been given a 3RR warning so is liable to be blocked should he persist. There's a discussion at talk:Lewis Hamilton re the issue in question. Feel free to contribute there. Mjroots (talk) 19:41, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

@Mjroots: Thank you, will do. Formulaonewiki (talk) 19:43, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

GKD Sports Cars

Thank you for the page move. I had tried to move the page properly before but was told I couldn't because the redirect page was already at the target URL. How did you get around that?Bjones (talk) 18:59, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bjones: - Because I have administrative privileges I am able to delete the target in order to move the page. Mjroots (talk) 20:50, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Next time I see something like that I'll have to contact an administrator. They pop up once in a while.Bjones (talk) 01:10, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

@Bjones: - If you come across this situation again, post a request at WP:RM, where the move can be assessed and either actioned or discussed. Mjroots (talk) 05:21, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I've just copied that to a Word document. Will do.Bjones (talk) 21:16, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
