Eastern Creek Raceway

As Oran Park has hosted a World Superbike Championship round, I think that means Sydney has more than one international circuit. --Falcadore (talk) 07:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Signature

Hi Cheetaih. Welcome to Wikipedia. Just to let you know: you only need to add your signature when adding messages to talk pages, not when you add content to an article, as you did here. Cheers. DH85868993 (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Another little tip: You don't need to add a description of the changes you have made to the article's talk page - people can see the changes you have made from the article history and from your edit summaries. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at my talk page. DH85868993 (talk) 10:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Signature help

In response to your comment, you should only put your signature on user pages. Just like the page you are on now, you must sign your name with when you are done. You don't need to do it for a discussion page or an article. If you need any more help, please contact me. --Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan (talk) 13:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Much as I hate to disagree with another editor, you really should sign comments on a discussion page. Pyrope 12:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Edit summaries

It's not necessary to write all the changes you made on the discussion page, like you did here - that's what the edit summary is for. 203.48.66.134 (talk) 08:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Please stop doing it. It just clutters up the talk pages. 121.45.167.195 (talk) 02:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Adelaide International Raceway

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Adelaide International Raceway, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.adelaideraceway.com.au/about_us.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk page edits

Cheetaih, please stop adding descriptions of the changes you have made to the article to the talk page, as you did here and here and use edit summaries instead. DH85868993 (talk) 12:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Much better. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 13:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Show Preview

Is it possible you could use the 'Show Preview' button instead 'Save Page' for on the run edits and save only when there is no more to be done? It will cut down on the number of versions of each article that are saved away on Wikipedia's servers, saving significant space. --Falcadore (talk) 04:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:DTM 2008

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Template:DTM 2008|the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

I've placed this here as you appear to have saved off an article as a template accidentally, I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve but this sort of testing should be done in a sandbox rather than creating a page. Falcadore (talk) 00:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Stubs

Hi, I noticed you adding stub tags to a lot of motorsport articles. Stubs are for very short articles - generally less than two paragraphs. The articles you are adding them to are not stubs generally - certainly not the articles on Silverstone, Spa and Donington. Take a look at Wikipedia:Stub for more info. -mattbuck (Talk) 08:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Hello again. Also, please don't add links to F1 knowledge - this website does not pass WP:EL as it is not a useful resource for people viewing the article, and is also an advertising site. -mattbuck (Talk) 09:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Warwick Farm

There's some discrepancies between Warwick Farm Racecourse and Warwick Farm Raceway that might need some attention if you're interested, especially cross linking between the two and the motor sport content on the Racecourse page. --Falcadore (talk) 00:40, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Would have done it myself but its been a hella weekend and I noticed you seemed to have some interest in this area. It was just a suggestion. --Falcadore (talk) 15:22, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Lakeside

There already was a page about Lakeside Raceway at Lakeside International Raceway you know. --Falcadore (talk) 08:23, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Hungaroring

Hi. While I appreciate that it was done with the best of intentions, you can't copy material from other websites and add it to Wikipedia (See WP:COPYVIO). In the crudest of terms, it's theft. The material you took from the official F1 site is copyrighted to that site, and in theory you could get Wikipedia into legal trouble by copying it here. I've removed it from the article. Sorry to have to undo your work. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 17:53, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Similarly for Singapore Street Circuit - if you are aware of any other occasions on which you have copied copyrighted text from other websites, it would be really helpful if you could go around and remove the offending items yourself. Thanks. 4u1e (talk) 18:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Lakeside Raceway

A tag has been placed on Lakeside Raceway, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

merging into Lakeside International Raceway has been completed

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. --Falcadore (talk) 03:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

September 2008

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Winston Peters. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you.--118.93.78.151 (talk) 10:17, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Motor sport venues

Can I ask what your thinking is behind adding the nearest airport to the various motor sport venue articles?  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 03:56, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 23:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Ditto from me, this is an edit which desrves a trivia tag I'm thinking. Wikipedia is not a travel guide you know. --Falcadore (talk) 09:43, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Link farming

Saw your recent edit to Nikon Indy 300, and I reverted it because that's not what External links is for. Don't stack External Links up with a pile of links to varying sources that you think might be of interest. The link you added was to a news story, if you want to add it to the context of the article add the 'ref' tags and reference it into thew article. Add some text to the narrative if it needs the extra text to make the link to the news story worthwhile. For an article like Nikon Indy 300 the only links that should appear in External links should be links to the races official website, the Indy Racing League's official website and V8 Supercar's official website. --Falcadore (talk) 03:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

linking of dates

Please read MOS:UNLINKDATES. Dates should not be linked, unless there is a reason to do so.  Esradekan Gibb  ^"Talk" 11:34, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

External links in Keith Code

An inline link you added to Keith Code was removed as redundant with a link in the External links section. If you want to make an inline citaiton, please see WP:Citation templates. Thank you. -- Brianhe (talk) 19:13, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:MTA New Zealand Formula Ford Championship tracks

Template:MTA New Zealand Formula Ford Championship tracks has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. Nominated for deletion on the subject of notability. Falcadore (talk) 13:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Tokachi International Speedway

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Tokachi International Speedway, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.rfactorcentral.com/detail.cfm?ID=Tokachi+International+Speedway.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.
