Bourdais
editHi, please don't add "WD" codes to Bourdais' results table. He is not withdrawn from these races, since he has not been entered for them. Also, the season is still in progress, quite obviously, so don't remove the note. Thanks, Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:18, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Myf1dream.com
edit A tag has been placed on Myf1dream.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 99.149.84.135 (talk) 12:21, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
Why you shouldn't delete it
You shouldn't delete this page because it is about a Formula 1 team that is prospecting to enter the Formula One World Championship. In the same time "my f1 dream.com" is a fan group for F1 viewers and supporters.

How can I make a categories page ?
- First, add the category you want to a create to the page you want to be in the category by adding [[Category:Category name]] to the bottom of the page that will be included in that category, replacing "Category name" with the name of the category you're creating. After you save the page, the category will appear on the bottom of the page as a red link. Click on the red link to create the category itself. When you create the new category, you should add a short description of what the category is for, along with some parent categories, on the new page. Before you create a new category, I suggest you read Wikipedia:Categorization, particularly the section Wikipedia:Categorization#What categories should be created. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao talk 17:55, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
May I suggest you finish up this Portal as it is still highly incomplete and despite your userfying it as a result of the MfD, you moved it back, but it is still not yet ready for the Portal: namespace. Also, regarding your placement of the WikiProject Google banner on numerous talk pages, could you make an effort to place it below the talkheader, and inside any bannershell templates that should happen to already be in place? (see Talk:Al Gore for an example of what I mean). Thanks. -- Ϫ 06:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Files from Wikimedia Commons

How can I resize a file from Wikimedia commons? Wild mine (talk) 11:47, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- Use the format [[file:test.jpg|200px]] where nnpx specifies how many pixels wide it will be. The height will be adjusted proportionately. There is also a thumbnail option:
For example:
| wiki markup | result |
|---|---|
| [[File:British memorial to the Gurkhas - statue.jpg|50px]] | 
|
| [[File:British memorial to the Gurkhas - statue.jpg|100px]] |
|
| [[File:British memorial to the Gurkhas - statue.jpg|thumb]] | |
Hope this helps -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 12:09, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
Changing colour
edit{{helpme}}
I want to change the colour of a portal. How can I do it ?
- the page which defines the colour is usually in the location Portal:PORTALNAME/box-header. So, for example, Portal:Literature/box-header. Just edit that page, and pick a colour code from Web colors. Let me know if you need anything else. Regards, Skomorokh 13:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment.
 The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.
