[edit] POV

It is pov to call someone the most succesful based only on victories. Lapinmies 21:23, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I made a similar edit to Tommi Mäkinen. Prolog 13:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] active diffs

Perhaps the reference to active diffs should be eliminated, seeing as in 2006 the top cars no longer have them but Loeb still drives the same? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cosmicpanda (talk • contribs).

[edit] Needs to be expanded

Why is there nothing about his broken arm? this page has been updated daily and this was missed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.109.24.165 (talk • contribs).

It hasn't been missed as it is mentioned in the lead. It's just the 2006 section that needs an update. Prolog 17:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I was about to add an info box, as per the project to-do list, but I'm having no luck finding detailed figures for his total number of stage wins and the number of WRC events that he has entered. Adrian M. H. 19:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Did you notice the external links section on Wikipedia:WikiProject World Rally? Loeb's profile on Rally Paradise seems to have been recently updated; 81 events and 344 stage wins. Prolog 19:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Additional note: Rally-Live.com seems to list 85 WRC events, but I believe they have mistakenly included the four rallies Loeb missed this season. Prolog 19:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Prolog - I hadn't seen that link. I'll double check the rally starts before deciding on a figure. Adrian M. H. 16:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Intro needs cleanup.

Unless there are objections I'm planning on cleaning up the intro a bit, including removing the stuff about McRae. I don't see why Colin McRae's one-race comeback should be mentioned in the introductory section about Sebastien Loeb. ColinClark 02:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Be bold and see WP:LEAD if you need tips. Indeed, the part about McRae seems pretty off-topic. Prolog 09:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Documenting transient events

I have commented out the following statement: "With his new car, he dominates the initial race, Monte Carlo Rally." It is not appropriate encyclopædic content to describe such a transient current event that can change in a moment. If Loeb wins, it can be documented accordingly, though I would hope that it will be phrased somewhat better than the above extract. Adrian M. H. 20:21, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
