Racing driver results tables[edit]
Hi Matthew23415. Thanks for the results tables you have added to various racing driver articles. One minor point to note: in the section heading, the "r" in "results" should not be capitalised, e.g. it should be "Complete BTCC results", not "Complete BTCC Results". Apart from that, keep up the good work! Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 00:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for April 4[edit]
Hi. When you recently edited Tim Harvey, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page James Sutton (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.

Race Results Tables[edit]
Hello Matthew23415!
I see you've been updating the driver results tables for current BTCC drivers, thank you! You have however added the 'class' and Indy Championship standings which have never previously been added to BTCC drivers records and there is nothing similar for WTCC drivers. This leads me to understand that these results aren't strictly necessary and they make the tables a lot wider which could cause problems for people who use smaller screens. The Class column is however required where a driver competed in the era when two very separate regulations ran for Touring and Production cars, but not for distinguishing Indy and Manufacturer drivers.
Please keep up with updating the results tables though! Robk23oxf (talk) 19:49, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Results Data[edit]
Hi Matthew23415,
When using Touring-Cars.net as a reference please link to it accordingly. It has taken a lot of hours to compile and we'd like the website to be supported as much as possible. It costs a lot of money and time to source and compile results data and the more that Wikipedia takes the traffic for this the less support creditable websites get. I hope you understand and good luck with the Wikipedia project. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.77.119 (talk) 22:28, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
Race Result Tables Formatting (Year)[edit]
Hi again!
I just thought I would give you a bit of advice. Against the row which formats the Year, the line should start with | rather than ! in order to produce the correct shading. Here is an example of how the Year box should look.
| Year | Team | Car | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | Pos | Pts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | Team Aon | Ford Focus 1.6T | ITA 1 16 |
ITA 2 13 |
ESP 1 12 |
ESP 2 Ret |
MAR 1 Ret |
MAR 2 6 |
SVK 1 Ret |
SVK 2 DNS |
HUN 1 11 |
HUN 2 19 |

USA 1 |
USA 2 |
JPN 1 |
JPN 2 |
CHN 1 |
CHN 2 |
MAC 1 |
MAC 2 |

And here is an example of how it should not appear.
| Year | Team | Car | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | Pos | Pts |
