Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
editYou have received these suggestions because we are currently running a study to see if SuggestBot is helpful for newly registered Wikipedia editors. Normally SuggestBot only makes suggestions for users who ask for them explicitly on the SuggestBot request page. We will not post suggestions on your talk page again unless you ask for them. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find a complete consent form with contact information on the SuggestBot Study page.
SuggestBot picks the articles you might be interested in based on the articles you've edited and using a number of different techniques: following links from them to other articles, matching articles based on their content, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedia users. It tries to recommend only articles that others have marked as needing work, such as stub articles that need to be made longer, clean-up articles that need writing help, and so on. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you choose to participate we encourage you to leave feedback on these suggestions, which you can most easily do here by editing your user talk page. We'll stop by later to read them.
Regards, Nettrom (talk), project researcher and SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 21:26, 11 August 2010 (UTC)
1997 CART season
editWhile Alessandro is his full and correct name, thoughout his American career he was known only as Alex. It is both appropriate and correct to refer to him in CART articles as Alex. --Falcadore (talk) 22:29, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
1998 & 2001 now also changed into Alex --VanBurns (talk) 11:20, 02 October 2010 (CET)
Formula One pointscores
editIn formula one drivers on zero points did not receive a classified position until 2003. Any driver with no points should be indicated with a hyphen rather than a championship position. --Falcadore (talk) 22:46, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
- This is correct. F1.com, the "official" site retrospectively classifies all finishers, according to today's rules. Wikipedia has to follow the rules that were in force at the time of the event, therefore F1.com is misleading, and in fact, false. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:49, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

editI think you should have a read of Wikipedia:Guide to layout#See also section. Relevance of links should be indicated. --Falcadore (talk) 00:11, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 19
editHi. When you recently edited Hertha BSC statistics, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Hans Meyer (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.
