[edit] dating/married
I removed Briscoe is married to Speed TV anchor, Nicole Manske. The request for a reference for "dating" was there for over a month, then it was upgraded to "married", still with no reference. --Scott Davis Talk 14:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Holdenlogo.png
Image:Holdenlogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Formula1
Should we remove his Formula 1 section since he hasnt actully debuted in 2005. He was only a test driver (I.E drove car in Friday practice sessions) and not enterted any race. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pattav2 (talk • contribs) 02:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- There are plenty of examples on Wikipedia about F1 event test drivers classed as F1 drivers. Chanoch Nissany is considered Israels first F1 driver, Enrico Toccacelo, Giorgio Mondini are down as an F1 Stub, and Bas Leinders a Minardi F1 driver. So to be fair, someone will have to audit every GP test driver, make sure that it's been done properly, and make the changes. Good luck changing the only Israeli drivers profile. And thanks to DH85868993 for participating in the discussion before making the change. Very good manners. NOT! --NigelPorter (talk) 09:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

- To clarify, which of my edits are you objecting to? My reversal of some fairly broken changes to Briscoe's infobox [1] and subsequent consolidation of two essentially duplicate infoboxes [2], or my removal of Cat:Australian Formula One drivers? I make no apologies for the first two. If it's the last one, then here is to the best of my knowledge (list sourced from here) a list of all the drivers (apart from Briscoe) who have been official F1 test drivers or "Friday drivers" but who have not been entered in a F1 race:
-
- Which suggests to me that the convention is for such drivers not to be included in [Category:<nationality> Formula One drivers], and that Nissany and Leinders are the "odd ones out". Incidentally, the reason I hadn't participated in the discussion before making my changes was that I hadn't noticed the discussion. DH85868993 (talk) 16:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Good thing this discussion hasnt gone too far. --Greg Nail (talk) 22:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- I love it that someone had nothing better to do than source all the F1 test drivers. --Kpaspery (talk) 03:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
- That’s my point. Most of those drivers were test drivers. Anyone can test a F1 car; to be a F1 Friday driver at a FIA event you need a super license. The FIA see the drivers differently as well. If Im wrong in anyway, I'll cop it on the chin.--NigelPorter (talk) 07:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
