[edit] 1995 Japanese Grand Prix

Hi Diniz. I am currently working on the 1995 Japanese Grand Prix article. I hear from AlexJ that you have the 1995 edition of "Autocourse". Could you possibly look through it and see if there any mentions of any main Formula One figures praising Jean Alesi's performance in the Japanese round? I would be much appreciated if you could have a look for me. Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 22:06, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

OK. :) D.M.N. (talk) 10:29, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! :) Also, if you don't mind, could you have a look through the Japan 1995 pages in your AUTOCOURSE and see if I've missed out anything really vital, or whether there's anything that could fit nicely into the article. Much appreciated if you could do that. Thanks again, D.M.N. (talk) 17:14, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added a note about the "ten wins in a season" thing in the quotation box (see the FAC). If it's OK, can you ~~strike~~ it out on the FAC page? Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 21:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Could you put precise page numbers though if that's OK? Re: The bit from the diary, I won't use as it isn't directly linked with the race. D.M.N. (talk) 18:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. "First corner accident: Morbidelli was hit by Wendlinger and retired, having stalled the engine (p.218)." - Who stalled the engine? D.M.N. (talk) 15:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. I think I'm just about done. A lot of extra content has been added as a result. Could you have a look at the article, in case there are any minor mistakes? Oh, and....

		The Original Barnstar
		For providing me with the AUTOCOURSE sources to help me expand the 1995 Japanese Grand Prix article further. Thanks! D.M.N. (talk) 16:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I can understand why you're not going to be "voting" as such in the FAC. As for Forti, that's OK. I'm guessing your AUTOCOURSE 1995-96 book comes very handy in that article! ;) D.M.N. (talk) 17:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Apologises for bugging you (again!), but does your AUTOCOURSE 1995-96 by any chance contain details on the Simtek S951 car, which raced for some of the 1995 season? Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 17:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay. ;) D.M.N. (talk) 19:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Another (very minor) thing. Does your AUTOCOURSE contain the attendance figure for the 1995 Japan race? Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 17:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Not to worry. D.M.N. (talk) 19:04, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Brilliant. Thank you so much! D.M.N. (talk) 15:01, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Two steps forward, three steps back. The FAC unfortunately failed due to lack of supports, so I've took it back to PR. Peanut4 has made this comment:

"Mark Blundell had a disappointing qualifying." Despite the obvious explanation that follows, I still think disappointing is POV. Indeed it might even be worse than disappointing. If you can find a relevant quote I'd use that instead.

Does your AUTOCOURSE by any chance have any quotes from Blundell about his qualifying session? Thanks in advance, D.M.N. (talk) 16:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

OK. Not to worry, D.M.N. (talk) 19:44, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Next NW

You haven't been contributing to the next NW lately. I don't know why but I need help when it's only me. Chubbennaitor 14:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BT19

Ah, could be. There isn't a closeup of the front suspension in the article, and that looks like it could be cropped to fit the bill. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 09:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Nice. To think that at one point I was despairing of getting any photos to go in that article! 4u1e (talk) 09:13, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Great

We have a new contributor too! What shall I do about LB22? I'm going to do something temporarily to his name. Chubbennaitor 16:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I know what has happened. He isn't aloud on the comp. Chubbennaitor 17:29, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

No! I mean he definitely can't get on the computer!!!! Chubbennaitor 18:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Fine. Chubbennaitor 18:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know but I have a helmet. Chubbennaitor 19:27, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Y not sign my guestbook. Chubbennaitor 19:28, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks and it's ok for me as I have a round every moth. The Spanish GP is almost underway. I've posted an idea on the talk page Chubbennaitor 06:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 23:17, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Stoned Radiator"

I was convinced no-one was ever going to question it! I typed it, thought "No, it looks silly" then decided to leave it :D Glad it amused you :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Haha, yes... I normally stay out of the modern-day race report articles, and after the fuss over this last race I may just stick to the 1960s! Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GP2 Valencia

You could at least contribute to the discussion before reverting and potentially triggering an edit war. Then you might have seen that GP2's official website disagrees with you. The calendar on the websites front page lists the August round as "Spain". ^[1] --Falcadore (talk) 23:45, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] NW

Sent out on Saturday! Chubbennaitor 20:38, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't realise. I only found it and I hadn't seen it before. Chubbennaitor 09:04, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Again sorry. You can check for any other ones I've uploaded. Chubbennaitor 09:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BTCC Donington

Hey, were any of my photos other than the Onslow-Cole one useful to you? -mattbuck (Talk) 22:19, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem, though it was somewhat accidental - they just happened to be wandering around. Unfortunately, my GF decided to support Jelley and then he crashed out right in front of us, and she's convinced I jinxed him. Still, a fun day. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Super Aguri

Hi, thanks for the info you left on my page about adding the ~~ lines. I wasnt aware about that, but i have had a look at the page you gave me and it will help me in the future.

Not easy when you have dyslexia but i can try a bit harder next time ;)

Thanks for the welcome too :) Ragingbull911 (talk) 14:16, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GP

I came third with fastest lap time just at my latest GP. It was sad about SA leaving Formula One. Chubbennaitor 19:26, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I know it's sad. I liked the little team just struggling onto the end of the field. Anyway the last results aren't up yet. Chubbennaitor 16:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Guess what I realised that I had uploaded them 1 minute after you when I discovered you had already uploaded them in such a short amount of time. Chubbennaitor 07:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Bye the way could you vote for a picture? Chubbennaitor 07:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GP2 Monaco

I found out later that it was not in the key, but it was meant to show that Conway didn't finish the race, although he was classified 8th.BleuDXXXIV (talk) 15:43, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Tajin pan4.JPG

You say that new version is correct version. And what is shown on previous version? I want to reuploaded this image on Commons, and it is interesting - must I uploaded one or both images? Alex Spade (talk) 16:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lewis Hamilton

I am contacting you for your thoughts as you are one of the principal contributors to this article. As you may or may not know, it has been nominated by PheonixRMB as a featured article candidate. The FAC is not going too well, with the current consensus being that the nomination is premature and that much work needs to done to get it up to the requisite standard. I would be grateful if you would express an opinion on the article's FAC candidacy page. As FAC is currently desperately short of reviewers, withdrawing the article – and thus saving reviewer time and effort – would be one option. Thanks for your time, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 16:01, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

No action now needed as PheonixRMB has withdrawn the nomination. All the best, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 16:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Flickr

Oh no! They're the from the same people. Some of them I was wary about but others I was pretty sure a normal person could have done them. Delete them I don't actually care. Chubbennaitor 07:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I know it is frustrating when that happens. Because you aren't sure when you get it off a place like Flickr. What about the other photos uploaded. I discovered that no-oe had uploaded a whole beautiful set from Flickr for the 2007 Monaco GP. Only one from the set was uploaded I uploaded a few others. Then there's the old car race at Monaco. Most of those are out in the blue. I didn't know they were from that set (the images u were on about) because when you showed it it was all Ferrari not the images I saw. Anyway There are some great pics if you type in '2008 Grand Prix Formula One' and ou get quite a few good images along with the advanced search. Chubbennaitor 07:41, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ecclestone news

The latest peace of news you added I deided wasn't suitable. I would have added it ages ago. On my scan through for unimportant news that will be moved. (I do this to cut down on the amount of news.) The discussion is here Chubbennaitor 15:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Everybody..." Completing

I'm not editing on Mon-Tue and only sending out the NW on Wed. I need anyone who is free to edit- to complete the month box and anything else. Even the F1POM with Sage. I need everyone to edit and add and review because I'm not here. It will need to be done otherwise it isn't going out. Chubbennaitor 20:13, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Monaco GP needs updating. I'm not editing the NW until Wed. I may still be editing though. Chubbennaitor 20:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nw

I'd watch out because it is going out just the user who works the bot hasn't been on recently. Chubbennaitor 20:55, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh I hadn't seen your other talk box. There is a talk page for the Bot requests. Ask there. Chubbennaitor 08:10, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
