NOTE: I know some people carry on conversations across two User talk pages. I find this ludicrous and unintuitive, and would much prefer to follow Wikipedia's recommendations (see How to keep a two-way conversation readable). Conversations started on my talk page will be continued on my talk page, while those I start on other users' pages will be continued on their pages. If a user replies to a post of mine on my talk page, I will either cut/paste the text to their page, or (more likely) copy/paste from their page to my own before continuing.

[edit] Other notes

• My peer review of the Talbot Tagora article was one of the first small steps which helped User:Bravada, User:Outriggr and others to bring the page to FA status, and I was awarded a userbox and barnstar for my contributions. However, my active involvement in editing the article was minimal.
• My expansion/rewrite of the Mitsubishi i article led to it being mentioned on the Wikipedia frontpage as part of the "Did you know?" section on August 11, 2006.[1]
• My expansion/rewrite of the List of bestselling vehicle nameplates article led to it being cited as a source by The New Zealand Herald on September 21, 2006.[2][3]
• My expansion of the London-Sydney Marathon article led to it being mentioned on the Wikipedia frontpage as part of the "Did you know?" section on November 14, 2006.[4]

[edit] 'To Do' list

[edit] Sandbox pages

• London-Sydney Marathon (created 15:03, August 23, 2006)
• Mitsubishi Minica (created 15:06, September 1, 2006)
• WRC season (created 13:12, December 5, 2006)

[edit] World Rally Championship

• Go through each individual page from the Template:World Rally Championship results and fix the contents. Strikethrough the list below as you finish. My primary source will be the Rallybase.nl website, although for post-2000 events, the official WRC site and individual event sites will also be used, especially as there seems to be a lot of non-corroboration. I've also used the BBC Sport website and WorldRally.net for news reports, again to confirm facts where there's a conflict of contradictory info.

[edit] Daihatsu

Continue my benevolent charity work on behalf of others, repairing everything attached to the Daihatsu template; formatting, merging, etc etc.

[edit] Kei cars

Work through Category:Kei cars adding infoboxes where appropriate. Stats can be obtained easily enough,[5] and a lot of these vehicles have fan sites with info that can be plundered. Also, it's not a huge category, so shouldn't take forever. Although it will, of course...

[edit] Ralliart

I've created so much content referring to MMC's motorsport heritage on the Mitsubishi 500, Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, Mitsubishi Lancer 1600 GSR and Mitsubishi Motors pages that I'm thinking it could be added to the Ralliart article. There's loads of reference data which can be sourced at the company's Web Museum - all I need to do is make it more NPOV and less hagiographic.

Also note this press release: "Mitsubishi Motors to Suspend Participation in the FIA World Rally Championship Series" (Tokyo, December 14, 2005), and incorporate into article?

[edit] Slik

Expand this article. Available sources are Alexgitlin.com and Midge Ure's bands on Angelfire (or a Google cache of this).
