User talk:Kartcrazy

Hello Kartcrazy,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I see you have created Carver barracks. Could you please provide more information so that other people can expand this article? For example, can you find any other related items and link to them, such as the article on the air base, if we have one? And please be specific. Not evryone knows what the RAF is, for example. You should probably replace it with Royal Air Force. In general, we don't like to have dead end pages that don't link to anything else. Thanks, and once again, welcome!

Hello, I've made a couple of changes to your page, including moving it to Carver Barracks. Your old link (above) still works because a redirect was created too. Hope you don't mind. Budgiekiller 13:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Short Circuits" "Long Circuits" - Superkart article[edit]

I have a few issues, and seemingly so do others, with the Superkart article at the moment.

1. The distinction between the long circuit and short circuit is not needed in the article. It is the same reason why (in this article) we do not need to explain why kerbs are sometimes painted red & white, how an engine works, what exactly a tyre is etc. etc. Superkarts race on BOTH types of circuit (in the UK and other places it seems) thus the distinction between the two types of circuit is completely irrelevant to learning more about Superkarts, which is what the article is for. A list of examples of the circuits is useful but explaining the difference between long and short circuits is not. For example: A road car can drive on city roads, country roads, farm roads, gravel roads, narrow roads, inclining roads, wet roads, very long roads, slip roads, picturesque roads, Swedish roads, on bridges, in tunnels and many other places....but does the Wiki article for Cars mention this? NO, because its not needed in the article.
2. I do not question the existence of the terms, so whilst sources are good they do not help the situation.
3. Why are "Short Circuit" and "Long circuit" in quotation marks??? It isn't a quote and the use–mention distinction for quotation marks as you've used them is a) untidy for an encyclopedia and b) not really proper english. You've been corrected on it (literally more than 5 times) but you still insist on putting it back in. Why? Kartcrazy (talk) 13:40, 18 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Distinction is needed for the simple reason that Superkarts only race on one type of track (Long circuit) under CIK-FIA regulations. For the same reason MSA regulation make a point to define what "Long Circuits" are (see pdf : Specific Regulations for Karting). Your point #3 is relevant, delete quotation marks if you see fit (I note that you kept them in this section title).
ps: 1 - Where have you been for the last four years?
ps: 2 - I am moving this discussion to Talk:Superkart
