Sadowski has been warned
It took me a while because I have got more important things to do (like writing an important Uni essay) than chase you and Sadowski around over your childish behaviour; again I could not care less who started what and who said what - take a break from one another before you get completely twisted up over what is, essentially, a relatively unimportant issue. I don't want to see you get blocked or (worse) booted, but it will happen if you can't calm down. ◆Min✪rhist✪rian◆MTalk 09:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Tweak of the week
LOL, good catch! --Uncle Ed (talk) 23:30, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
delta-v
It's fairly problematic to consider delta-v as a velocity change. It's only very, very loosely speaking a velocity change.GliderMaven (talk) 04:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC) For example if an ion drive is spiraling outwards from Earth or something, then the ion drive is expending delta-v, but the vehicle (it turns out) is actually slowing down because it's moving up the gravity well, and the orbital period is longer and the orbital speed is lower, the further out you go.GliderMaven (talk) 04:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC) And even in the Apollo program, when they fired their retrorockets, the vehicle actually sped up.GliderMaven (talk) 04:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC) And it's actually worse than that because the amount of velocity change you get depends on when you spend the delta-v; if you apply it close in to an astronomical body, then you end up with a very big velocity change for that delta-v, but a lot less if you expend it high up (Oberth effect).GliderMaven (talk) 04:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC) So it's doubtless not a good idea to describe it that way, and it's not referenced anyway.GliderMaven (talk) 04:16, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
- You just left a thing on my talk page implying that you think that leads don't have to be referenced. If you think about it, that makes no sense, and WP:LEAD specifically says that they should be reliably sourced.GliderMaven (talk) 04:33, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Japanese submarines
Thanks for the additions here
I found a really interesting book on the subject (Carl Boyd, Akihito Yoshida, The Japanese Submarine Force and World War II) which, amongst other things, has all of them listed. So I was going to work my way through it; I thought a sortable table would be useful. Trouble is, there are a lot of conflicting accounts; even comparing it with the date of loss in Conway throws up some anomalies. Still,it's a start.
BTW You mentioned this, a while ago: “I came across a pair of Mk 14 circulars sinking boats in Blair; could I find it again?”. I don’t know if you did find them in the end, or if you still need them, but I came across this, on the U-869 page:
“At least two other U-boats are known to have been lost to their own torpedoes: U-377 in 1944 and U-972 in late 1943. ….this attack also dreaded (sic) the US submarine force twice, as seen with USS Tang (SS-306) and USS Tullibee (SS-284).” Another notorious example is HMS Trinidad, while with Convoy PQ 13 in the Arctic, hit by one of her own torpedoes (though that was due to the cold conditions)
And I'm still working my way through Holwitz! Regards, Xyl 54 (talk) 19:13, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks again!
Just to check; you put RO-116 as sunk by aircraft and RO-117 sunk by USS England, the source being Fitzsimons: can you check that? Boyd & Yoshida have it the other way round, as does the table on the class page. Otherwise, it's coming along nicely. Xyl 54 (talk) 20:34, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Ford Model A - Fiscal HP of UK Variant
Hi. I am at a loss to understand why you reversed my change to the note about the fiscal HP of the Model A - one of my sources "The Automobile A-Z of Cars of the 20's" edited by the well respected Nick Baldwin clearly states, and I quote: "The 14.9hp AF (smaller bore, same stroke) was a special variant for Britain to save on horsepower tax and outsold the 3.3 version). Incidentally, the cubic capacity of the smaller engine is quoted as 2043cc not the 2033cc mentioned in the article. Other sources confirming the 14.9 fiscal horsepower rating of the smaller engined AF model are: "The Vintage Motor Car Pocketbook" by Cecil Clutton, Paul Bird and Anthony Harding, "The Complete Encyclopaedia of the Automobile" by G.N.Georgeano and "The Complete Catalogue of British Cars 1895-1975" by David Culshaw and David Horrobin. If you are looking for more contemporary confirmation then I suggest pages 285 to 288 of "The Motoring Encyclopaedia" published circa 1935.

Article of the month – 2011 Japanese Grand Prix, failed Good Article nominee
The 2011 Japanese Grand Prix (formally the XXXVII Japanese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race that was held on 9 October 2011 at the Suzuka Circuit in Suzuka, Japan. It was the fifteenth round of the 2011 Formula One season, and the thirty-eighth time the Japanese Grand Prix had been held. The race, contested over 53 laps, was won by McLaren's Jenson Button, after he started from second on the grid. Fernando Alonso finished in second place for Scuderia Ferrari, and Sebastian Vettel completed the podium, with third, for Red Bull Racing. Vettel had started the race in pole position alongside Button, whom he had marginally outqualified. The two drivers were the only two within mathematical contention for the title. Button attempted to overtake Vettel at the start of the race, yet was pressured towards the grass by Vettel which resulted in him losing second place to Lewis Hamilton (who had started in third). Vettel was passed by Button in the second pit-stop phase, and was then passed by Alonso in the third. Hamilton slipped back from second to fifth, predominantly in the pit-stops; debris from a collision between himself and Felipe Massa caused a safety car period in the race. The second Red Bull of Mark Webber finished in fourth position. As a consequence of the race, Vettel secured the World Drivers' Championship for the second year in succession, having only required one point prior to the weekend to be declared World Champion. Button remained in second place on the standings after his victory, extending the gap over third-placed Alonso to eight points. In the World Constructors' Championship, Red Bull's championship lead over McLaren was cut to 130 points, with Ferrari a further 96 points behind in third position.

British Tank Figures.
Hello,Trekkers. I don't understand your comment on and removal of British tank production. There are figures for France, Germany, U.S.A. (none), Italy, and Russia. It seems to me that anyone entering this topic would wonder about how many vehicles were produced, and by whom, during its early history. I have not reverted your edit, because I am learning that that is how one is lured into an edit war, so I am putting the matter up for discussion. I do try not to editorialise. I don't delete things unless they are wrong (in which case I offer references) or unless I replace them with something better. It is my suggestion that the sentence should be reinstated. Regards, Hengistmate (talk) 23:32, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- "I'm not looking for an edit war, either. I didn't see the other numbers. If you've got them, or they're on the page, I'd suggest putting them all together. Subhead as "production"?"
- Some people do, though. Personality disorder. A table sounds like a lot of work. Maybe for dedicated WWI articles, but in a wider context such as this, can't we just return to the status quo ante? Of course, if you feel like doing a table . . . Hengistmate (talk) 00:18, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
In the absence of anything more ambitious, I'm going to reinstate the British figure. Since the figures for the other combatants are there, it looks odd without GB. Regards, Hengistmate (talk) 11:36, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Japanese submarines, again
Hi there
I’ve just made some changes to the Japanese RO- sub list; I’ve put the Boyd,Yoshida refs in: I've also trimmed the Fitzsimons refs down to a group ref, as they are all the same page; it seems neater. If you are OK with that we could do the I- boats the same way. I’ve also changed the date of the Batfish kills from 1942 to 1945; that’s what B&Y say, and it seems more likely. I’m assuming it’s a slip of the keyboard, but if Fitzsimons does give the earlier date we’ll need to put it in as a discrepancy.
And I’ve scrubbed the K5, K6 links; the Kaichu article doesn’t agree with Conway or BY about the Type number, so that needs resolving there (I’ve left a note there about it). Regards, Xyl 54 (talk) 12:51, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
- I got your note, but I’m not sure what you mean.
- What I had in mind for the Fitzsimons refs was to group them by page ie the cites to the I-15 bit in Vol 13(p1402) would go together, the I-16’s (p1404) then the I-21’s (p1407), etc. Where it leads to a note rather than a cite for the information, we make it a footnote, with the cite included. The Blair refs are generally on separate pages, so they’d all be separate; the Conway refs (which I need to put in yet) would group as they’re all together on a few class list pages.
- And I see I confused you with the reference sections; that’s me trying to do two different articles in the same sandbox at the same time, which ( with hindsight) wasn’t the best of ideas. Xyl 54 (talk) 11:48, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- PS: I think I've twigged; does Fitzsimons treat them as classes, and have separate articles for each (the B type = I-15 class, C type = I-16, etc)? In that case, yes, the group cite would be to an article, rather than a page. I'm not familiar with Fitzsimons at all, so I don't know the layout. Boyd&Yoshida have all the losses in an Appendix, so grouping them by page (there's about 16 per page, on average) is what I'd intended there. Does that make sense? Xyl 54 (talk) 11:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- PPS:I’ve also split the I-boat table up temporarily; it was getting too confusing to work on as it was. It can go back together when it's done. Xyl 54 (talk) 11:57, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- (forgot to log in! )
- So where the ref says “I-16 vol 13 p1404” (cited for I-16, 18, 20, 22 and 24) is that one article covering those
fourfive boats? Or separate articles for each boat? Xyl 54 (talk) 23:28, 17 March 2012 (UTC)- So we could use the I-16 ref for the five boats in that class, couldn't we? (Conway calls it the C1 type, but it amounts to the same thing) And the I-15 ref for the 20-odd boats in the B1 group, and so on? Xyl 54 (talk) 12:31, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- OK I think we are agreed; I’ll do the I-300’s to show what I mean; let me know what you think. Xyl 54 (talk) 23:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- PS I’m going to be away for a week (in case you post to me and I don’t answer!) but I’ll try and pick this up again next Sunday. Xyl 54 (talk) 23:14, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- PPS: I changed the refs for I-366 to 373 to a group (Fitzsimons I361); the refs on I-361 to 365 were to Fitzsimons I351, but I changed those as well (here). I'm trusting that's correct; Conway lists them all as D1 type, which (I'm guessing) is the same as Fitzsimons I-361 class. Anyway, time to wrap it up...Xyl 54 (talk) 23:44, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
- So we could use the I-16 ref for the five boats in that class, couldn't we? (Conway calls it the C1 type, but it amounts to the same thing) And the I-15 ref for the 20-odd boats in the B1 group, and so on? Xyl 54 (talk) 12:31, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Japanese submarines, yet again
Hello (back again!)
Just to catch up (and to reply to your last post); I don't think we are in disagreement on the 300's, are we? Fitzsimons I-351 class is Conways SH type, AFAIK (they were tankers, and there was just the two of them (351 and 352)). So we should have his I-351 article as ref for them. His I-361 class (Conways D1 type, transports) covers boats 361 to 372, so that article should be the ref for all of them. There isn't an article cited for 373 and 374; Conway has them as D2 type, so maybe Fitzsimons has them as a separate article.
I've also put the KRS's in the I-100 section; I think it's less confusing that way.
Anyway, keep smiling, Xyl 54 (talk) 23:44, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- Eh bien: I've done the I-100's; see what you think...Xyl 54 (talk) 13:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- I've done the I-15 and -16 Fitzsimon refs in the 1 to 58 list; the others are OK as they are, I think. Xyl 54 (talk) 13:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2012 Australian Grand Prix
The 2012 Australian Grand Prix (formally, the 2012 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 18 March 2012 as the opening round of the 2012 Formula One season. It was the 77th race in the combined history of the Australian Grand Prix that dates back to the 100 Miles Road Race of 1928, and the 17th time the event has been held at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit at Albert Park. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by McLaren driver Jenson Button who took his third victory at the Albert Park Circuit. Reigning Double World Champion Sebastian Vettel, driving for Red Bull Racing, finished in second place, while polesitter and McLaren teammate Lewis Hamilton completed the podium. Australian Mark Webber was fourth, his best result in his home grand prix.

Motorcycle land-speed record
The Vesco homepage says about the event: “At Speed Week 1969 Don Vesco posted the fastest one-way motorcycle time at 227 mph in his twin 350 cc R3 Yamaha streamliner. The 18 ft. liner was fashioned out of a wing tank. Handling problems plagued Don and crew but they were encouraged with the speed and power the Yamahas produced. Team Vesco returned to the salt the following year with a redisgned, repainted streamliner. Don set a one-way speed of 240.244 mph on gasoline, only to have the rear tire blow out on the return run. Two weeks later, Don became the fastest man on two wheels by establishing the record at 251.924 mph” You may be sure that this two-stroke engine has not been turbocharged. ----84.167.186.226 (talk) 14:07, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Question
I came across an article the other day, (Resident spy), that is in need of serious repair (or deletion). I found that you added a notice to it citing it was of interest to other wiki-projects. If you don't mind, I was wondering if you would take a look at it again and see if what, if anything, should/could be done with it. It's poorly written and has no sources at all. It was flagged five years ago, yet it still remains as is. Thanks. I will look for your respons here - thewolfchild 07:03, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'd say sourcing is the main problem. It shouldn't be too hard to find; Barron's book on the KGB would be a good start, or even a basic book on espionage & the history of KGB or GRU. The formatting & writing do need some work. I'd hesitate to delete; merge to Espionage, or to KGB & GRU, instead, at worst; it's mostly accurate & uncontroversial AFAICT.

Article of the month – 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix
The 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally known as the 2012 Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on 22 April 2012 at the Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the first time Formula One returned to Bahrain after the 2011 race was cancelled due to ongoing anti-government protests. The race, the eighth running of the Bahrain Grand Prix, was contested over 57 laps and was the fourth round of the 2012 Formula One season. Sebastian Vettel started the race from pole position, leading into the first corner and for the majority of the race en route to victory. He was not without pressure though, as the Lotus of Kimi Räikkönen climbed the field, having started in eleventh place, and challenged for the lead before finishing second. Räikkönen's team-mate Romain Grosjean took the first podium finish of his career by finishing third, after having a strong start and quickly moving into second place by overtaking Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber. Räikkönen passed Grosjean for second place roughly half-way through the race, being on a better tyre strategy. Hamilton started on the front row, but pitstop errors and degrading tyres left him eighth; his McLaren teammate, Jenson Button, retired with two laps remaining. As a consequence of the race, Sebastian Vettel took the lead in the Drivers' Championship from Lewis Hamilton. He became the fourth driver to top the standings from four races, and also the fourth race winner. Hamilton remained second, four points behind Vettel, whilst Webber jumped in front of Button to move into third with his fourth consecutive fourth place. Webber was just one point behind Hamilton, and Button was only five points behind him; Nico Rosberg was fifth. The Constructors' Championship was now lead by Red Bull, who also took the lead from McLaren (who were now nine points behind them). Lotus F1 moved up from sixth to third in the standings after their first podium. Ferrari fell to fourth whilst Mercedes remained fifth. The race's opponents described the decision to hold the race despite ongoing protests and violence as one of the most controversial Grands Prix in the sport's sixty-year history.

Your photo of a 1953 Oldsmobile
In the Oldsmobile 88 article there is a photo of a red Oldsmobile 88 convertible. On the New contributors' help page someone reported it was in fact a 1956 Oldsmobile, not a 1953. I would tend to agree as there is a photo of a 1953 Oldsmobile in the Oldsmobile article.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 17:48, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2012 Formula One season, current peer review
The 2012 Formula One season is the 63rd FIA Formula One season. The season started in Australia on 18 March and will end in Brazil on 25 November. It is being contested over twenty races – the most races in a season in the sport's history – and will see the return of the United States Grand Prix, which will be held at the Circuit of the Americas, a purpose-built circuit in Austin, Texas. After being cancelled in 2011 due to civil protests, the Bahrain Grand Prix returned to the calendar. In addition to having the greatest number of races in a championship year, the 2012 season broke several records. Six current and former World Drivers' Champions — Sebastian Vettel, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen, Fernando Alonso and Michael Schumacher — started the season, breaking the record of five established in 1970. The 2012 season was also the first time that the first six championship races of a season were won by six different drivers.

So, tell me why they should be capitalized in the table but not in the descriptions below. They are not proper nouns. Proper nouns are names. These are occupations (as it says), and they're not capitalized unless they're titles (before the name). --Musdan77 (talk) 01:08, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I had to buy you a beer for having one of the most interesting user pages I have seen on Wikipedia. Great stuff! If you look closely I have dropped a whiskey shot in it as well. Cheers! Traveler7 (talk) 04:50, 14 June 2012 (UTC) |
RE: What brought me to this page? I had been editing on Wiki for about three years now and realized that I did not have anything on my profile page. I then decided to randomly look at other editors pages and see what they had done. To my surprise, the differences between them are as varied as the people themselves, and I spent a few hours just reading user pages. Your page that I simply stumbled onto by accident really stood out and it was very interesting to read. I only recently discovered the "wiki love" thing too - I was wondering where all the awards, barnstars and stuff was coming from. I thought they were only from the "powers that be" ;-) I have only been an infrequent contributer in the past, but it is interesting to see what the real wiki junkies are doing. I signed up for a few projects and plan on getting more involved in the future. I will have to message you if I need any advise on them.--Traveler7 (talk) 19:09, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

I don't want to get into an edit war over this, but there's no such thing as "attributed plagiarism". If it's attributed, it isn't plagiarised. You might want to read over WP:Plagiarism; specifically, the first sentence ("plagiarism is the incorporation of someone else's work without providing adequate credit") and the section on public-domain sources ("material from public-domain sources is welcome on Wikipedia" and "the source's text can also be copied directly into a Wikipedia article verbatim"). This is standard practice. There are over 9,000 articles lifted straight from DANFS. Do you propose to tag all of those as well? DoctorKubla (talk) 12:55, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- It sounds like you want to change the plagiarism guidelines. Good luck with that. As it stands, though, the article doesn't meet Wikipedia's definition of plagiarism, and tagging it as such is unnecessary and misleading. DoctorKubla (talk) 18:49, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Your recent undos
Hello. Firstly, I would like to constructively criticize you for not notifying me of your undos. As part of my beliefs on courtesy, if I undo another's edit, I will always leave a notification. Your first revert I do not disagree with, since I can see that an editor may have reason to disagree with that statement. Perhaps we should discuss this? Secondly, you stated “this kind of literal-mindedness is absurd”. That sounds like an opinion to me. See Wikipedia:I just don't like it. My statements were completely accurate, and I saw nothing but benefit to include them in the article. I would appreciate your response. Please leave a talkback notification on my talk page after you reply. Thanks in advance. 69.155.143.207 (talk) 22:11, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

As you were a recent participant in an edit war at the above-named article I am taking the opportunity to warn you formally that the article is now under a no-reverts rule. This means that from now on anyone making a revert will be blocked instantly without further warning, except in cases of really obvious vandalism. Instead of reverting, you should consider trying for compromise either by drafting a good-faith compromise in the article, or discussing towards one in talk. Edit-warring deters other editors and poisons the atmosphere that we need to edit constructively. Please do not do it.--John (talk) 15:26, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of Formula One circuits, currently listed for Peer Review
The first Grand Prix was held in 1950 at Silverstone; since then 68 circuits have hosted a Grand Prix. Circuits such as the Nürburgring have hosted Grands Prix using different configurations. The first race at the circuit used the 22 kilometres (14 mi) circuit, but concerns over safety meant that more recent Grands Prix have used a shorter, safer circuit. F1 circuits were predominately in Europe during the early years of the championship, as the sport has expanded so has the location of its circuits. New circuits have been used in Asia and America, the change has been a recent occurrence. Of the 20 circuits that will host a Grand Prix in 2012, nearly half were not on the calendar before 1999. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza has hosted the most Grands Prix; it has been used as the circuit for the Italian Grand Prix 61 times. The only season it did not host a race was in 1980, when the Italian Grand Prix was held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. The most recent circuit to have hosted a Grand Prix was the Buddh International Circuit, which hosted the Indian Grand Prix in 2011. The Circuit of the Americas is set to become the latest different circuit to host a Grand Prix; when the United States Grand Prix is staged there in 2012, at Austin, Texas. The Pescara Circuit is the longest circuit to have hosted a Grand Prix. The 25.800 km (16.031 mi) long circuit normally held the Coppa Acerbo race, it hosted one World Championship race, the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix. As some circuits have hosted Grands Prix using different configurations, the most recent configuration used is listed in the table below.

hello, could you clarify on the nomination page why you removed the inflation templates? Regards.--GoPTCN 09:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Daimler motor
Hi, what makes you think sourcing should not be hard? I can tell you I have found it impossible and I am sure that is the way the parties concerned wish it to be. Nevertheless the strong suspicion that it is correct makes it an extremely pointed note to leave there. Why remove it? Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 09:32, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- Tata for now
- I don't mean you need to source the fact of the intent. I mean, find an actual source saying there's a suspicion that was the plan. Otherwise, it's pure speculation. TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 09:42, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
- I would expect this (source you suggest be searched for) to be in a financial newspaper of the day where a columnist was mulling over the final deal that the public was able to see. Things like subscriptions mean I've no access to those newspapers of any standing that might have been interested enough in the arrangement. Eddaido (talk) 09:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Public roads used for racing
I don't understand your change. To put it another way, Valencia and Monaco are raced on public roads that are closed off for the occasion, as opposed to most race tracks that are race tracks all the time. Spa used to be (and remained until recently) on public roads but those roads are now used only as a race track. Maybe the idea that the roads are public when they are not being used for racing is not clear enough? Britmax (talk) 12:25, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for supplying analysis of the anon edits to the MIS article
I want to thank you for taking the time to investigate the anon editor claims at Military Intelligence Service (United States), and for pointing out in agonizing detail the abject weaknesses in that editor's arguments and sources. It's clear that he's intransigent in his views, as well as being rather incoherent. A block would be ideal, but as he rotates through different IPs it may be necessary to set up an indefinite page protection if he continues to edit war following the page protection expiration (as I expect). But since you've laid out the case against his edits so clearly, it should be much easier to make the case for renewed page protection. Thanks for your help! — Myasuda (talk) 01:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Re:Used people
Thanks! I copied the basic design from someone else (can't remember who it was, it was several years ago now), so my advice would be to copy the code from my user page, paste it onto your own page, and then play around with colours, images, fonts etc. until it's to your taste. The navbar system works by linking to pages which you will need to create in your own user subspace.--Midgrid(talk) 11:28, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, I've just checked how my userpage works for the first time in several years...you will need to create your own version of User:Midgrid/Navbar in your user subspace, and then transclude it onto your main userpage.--Midgrid(talk) 12:08, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- I've created User:Trekphiler/Navbar for you. If you follow the link, you can fiddle around with the code on that page to change colour, font size, font style, border thickness, adding more subpages etc. It shows up on your userpage as {{User:Trekphiler/Navbar}}.--Midgrid(talk) 12:27, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- Oh yes, you can rename the subpages - I just used example names.--Midgrid(talk) 12:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't really know how to describe making the changes (as I worked it out for myself the first time around through much trial-and-error :P ), but this is how I changed the links and reduced their number (N.B. the "About me" page does not exist; you will need to create one or link it to somewhere else). I also took the liberty of changing the colours of the navbar to match those in your signature by doing this; feel free to revert this if you don't like it. Hope this helps!--Midgrid(talk) 14:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, failed Today's Featured Article candidate
The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the Formula 1 ING Magyar Nagydíj 2008) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It was Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was Glock's first podium finish. The majority of the race consisted of a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari, respectively. Hamilton started from pole position but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship rivals began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over halfway through the race, giving Massa a lead of more than 20 seconds over Kovalainen. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps remaining, allowing the McLaren driver to win. Räikkönen set the race's fastest lap in the other Ferrari, but was hampered by a poor qualifying performance and was stuck behind Fernando Alonso (Renault) and Glock in turn for almost all of the race. As a consequence of the race, Hamilton extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to five points over Räikkönen, with Massa a further three behind. Robert Kubica, who finished eighth after finding his BMW Sauber car uncompetitive at the Hungaroring, slipped to 13 points behind Hamilton, ahead of teammate Nick Heidfeld and Kovalainen. In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren passed BMW Sauber for second position, 11 points behind Ferrari.

Idea
Lion Man wasn't really a superheo — he was essentially a black Tarzan. I have an idea, though: Why don't we add All-Negro Comics as "First comic-book created by African-American writers and artists"? What do you think? --Tenebrae (talk) 23:32, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, the whole idea of starting a discussion is to, well, discuss rather an edit-war. That's the Wikipedia guideline: edit, and if it's reverted, discuss — not un-revert.
- I'm familiar with Lion Man. If you look at the history of All-Negro Comics, you'll see I created and wrote the bulk of it. So I'm with you, completely, on his historical importance. But the vast majority of sources give the Falcon as the first Af-Am superhero, and if you look at the Lion Man page at All-Negro Comics, you can see for yourself he's a Tarzan type.
- Also, a press release is not a journalistic source. If it's a press release from GM about GM's fall line of cars, that's one thing. But an auction-house press release that's not about the auction house itself is a different thing. --Tenebrae (talk) 00:51, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- No, of course. Given the wealth of reliable sources for the Falcon, though, I hope there's discussion on the article talk page before any summary removal. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 00:53, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
- Lion eyes! I just now got that pun! I trust, then, you know the old song by The Eagles? : ) --Tenebrae (talk) 16:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

Automotive industry in New Zealand
Hi Trekphiler - noticed your edit out of the race car manufacturers in Automotive industry in New Zealand. The reason behind them being in the article is because they are a part of the New Zealand's automotive industry (all be it a small part), they make multiple cars for sale to drivers and teams, and are not one team cars. Happy to put the concept up for debate at the automobiles project if you think some concensus is needed. NealeFamily (talk) 02:24, 9 August 2012 (UTC) Thanks for your comments, and I agree there are some issues to consider. I'll list it on theWikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles page for discussion. NealeFamily (talk) 02:59, 9 August 2012 (UTC) I think I bet you to the edit - feel free to change mine if you like :)NealeFamily (talk) 03:11, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

List of Train Songs
Hi, Trekphiler: I remmed out Alabama Bound and I'm Alabama Bound because they had a circular cross-reference, meaning one referred you to the other and back again. I've been working with this list for more than a year and never noticed the mistake, so I thought it might something someone put in as a joke. I'm now sourcing the song and its artists, so I'll let this stand as you've changed it until tomorrow (Aug.19). Thanks. Allreet (talk) 14:55, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
- A circular reference is perfectly useless, much like the piece of paper that has "See Other Side" written on both sides. Usually, secondary versions should refer the reader to the primary version for documentation, such as composer, artists, and citations. No big deal, though, and I'll edit the entry in keeping with existing conventions. Allreet (talk) 06:22, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Attributed plagiarism
You may recall we had an argument recently about your tagging USS Tang (SS-306) as plagiarism. We didn't really get anywhere, and then I went away for a bit and forgot about it, but I've just come across the article again and it still really bugs me. If you still maintain that there's such a thing as "attributed plagiarism", I thought it might help to request a third opinion. What do you think? (You can answer here, I'll put this page on my watchlist.) DoctorKubla (talk) 20:01, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- I understand your definition of plagiarism, but Wikipedia policy clearly states that copying from public domain works, with attribution, is fine. If you want to open up a debate about changing that policy, go ahead, but I'm really only concerned about this specific issue. I'll try WP:3O, see if we can find a way to settle this. DoctorKubla (talk) 20:37, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, guys, I've replied to the 3O request at Talk:USS Tang (SS-306)#Plagiarism concerns: 3O; if we could centralize discussion there, that'd be awesome. Thanks! Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 15:50, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Snorkel scoop?
What is an Aston Martin snorkel scoop? AFAIK there were three variations on this theme, an early low scoop followed by the 1973 tall scoop followed by the 1978 Oscar India near-flat bonnet. I am not sure what the snorkel scoop version is that you refer to, but the picture illustrates the tallest scoop made for the AM V8 (to my knowledge, at least). If you would prefer a better wording, I am all ears. Mr.choppers | ✎ 06:57, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Daimler Motor Co
Pleased to see some activity on that article. Your additions have some (minor) inaccuracies and duplications. Can we discuss them here? About what you describe as "trivial cruft". You may not have noticed that Ian Fleming sold his Daimler because his wife told him he looked like an old queen when he drove it. I suppose it may have driven him to improve his prowess but it actually reflects on how formerly loyal customers now viewed the brand. The mention of the (famous in Australia) prime minister (who was a famous devotee of Empire and Royalty) as being a big Daimler may well have been a deliberately manufactured "misprint" by an Australian printer enjoying London. Brand image again. But then you will know and understand these things? Eddaido (talk) 05:19, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- (copied from here)
- If you've got concerns, I'm happy to discuss it. I took out all of it since it strikes me as trivial. I've seen no discussion of brand image on any other page. (I allow I haven't read every single page. :) ) Aside passing mentions of the likes of Rolls or Benz being prestige marques, the issue never came up, & I'm not sure it should. If you think it should, that's something for the whole Project, not just us. Anything else, msg me back. (I've got too many pages watchlisted now... :( ) TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 07:23, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- You sound very relaxed today. I'll wait till you've finished your work on it. There was a similar but very small set of probs on SCH Davis. Cheers, Eddaido (talk) 10:33, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- (copied from here)
- Daimler I'm long done with, & Davis too. What, exactly, is troubling you? I got the sense there were some conflicts in sources on Davis, & IDK enough about him to say. (I also noticed I'd mucked up the page style, so if you want to fix it, don't let me stop you.) TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 16:01, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
- Well the effect in Davis was to give totally wrong information. You've put much more in the same way and of the same kind in Daimler Motor Co. I also wonder if it is appropriate to add bulky detail as you have to (apparently considered by many) an already over-long article. Maybe it could be moved when the matching articles on the cars are written - I think it is quite interesting, I just have doubts as to the bulking up of the article. What do you think? Will leave you to have first go at making those very necessary corrections. Eddaido (talk) 08:34, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of Formula One fatal accidents, current Featured List candidate
Formula One (F1) is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform. The F1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. Safety standards have improved since the first World Championship Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1950, where there was no medical back-up or safety measures, in case of an accident. It was not until the 1960s these were first introduced, as helmets and overalls became mandatory and the FIA assumed responsibility for safety at the circuits. Steps were taken to improve the safety of the Formula One car in the 1970s; the cockpit opening was enlarged allowing the driver to escape quicker in the event of an accident and outside mirrors became mandatory. The 1980s saw further improvement in the structure of the Formula One car, with the monocoque being made out of carbon fibre instead of aluminium, increasing protection upon impact. Following the death of Ayrton Senna in 1994, a number of measures were introduced in an attempt to slow the cars down, including the prohibition of traction control systems. Grooved tyres were introduced in 1998 instead of racing slick tyres to reduce cornering speed. Safety measures continued to be introduced into the 21st century, with a number of circuits having their configuration changed to improve driver safety. This list includes drivers who have died during a FIA World Championship race weekend, and those who have died while driving a Formula One car outside of the World Championship. Track marshals and other race attendees who have died as a result of these accidents are not included in the list. Forty-nine drivers have died driving a Formula One car, with Cameron Earl being the first in 1952. Thirty-two of the drivers died during a World Championship Grand Prix race weekend, six during a test session and eleven during a non-championship Formula One event. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has seen the most fatalities; seven drivers have died there during the course of the Indianapolis 500. Fifteen drivers died in the 1950s; fourteen in the 1960s; twelve in the 1970s; four in the 1980s and two in the 1990s. No driver has suffered a fatal accident since 1994,[A] making this the longest period in F1 history without a driver fatality. Only two Formula One Champions have died while racing or practicing in Formula One, Jochen Rindt in 1970, and Ayrton Senna in 1994. Rindt is the only driver to win the championship posthumously.

Good to see some new effort on this article. Regarding the higher outputs stated in your source, perhaps there is some conflation with the outputs of the more powerful 135MS? It got pretty confusing with these old French cars, and I have the feeling that many of these horses may have been ponies rather than the full 735 Watts. Mr.choppers | ✎ 00:57, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Military of Côte d'Ivoire
I don't understand your edit summary. The official name is always less important than the common name. The title can stay at Military of Côte d'Ivoire if that is the common name of course but it is necessary to use the common name for the country in running text.

Article of the month – 2012 Singapore Grand Prix
The 2012 Singapore Grand Prix (formally known as the 2012 Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix) is a Formula One motor race that took place at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore on 23 September 2012 as the fourteenth round of the 2012 season. The race was the thirteenth time that a Singapore Grand Prix has been held, and the fifth time it was a round of the Formula One World Championship. Lewis Hamilton started the race from pole.

Licensing is British English
Hi! I see that you've reverted my spelling correction, arguing for British English spelling. The thing is, licensing is British English spelling, at least according to the OED, which doesn't have a "licencing" entry [1]. Licence with a c is for the noun (and is the only difference between real English and American English); the s indicates the verb. Licensing derives from to license and thus uses the verb spelling with an s. Thus we see TV licensing (tvlicensing.co.uk) and Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. I didn't want to risk an edit war by just undoing your reversion without making you aware of the reason in a more complete way than an edit summary allows. Hope this clears thing up.

Article of the month – List of red-flagged Formula One races, current Featured List Candidate
Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform. The F1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, usually held on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. A red flag is shown when there has been an accident or the track conditions are poor enough to warrant the race being stopped. The flags are displayed by the marshals at various points around the circuit. Following a red flag being shown, the exit of the pit lane is closed and cars must proceed to the starting grid slowly, without overtaking. From 2005, a ten-minute warning is given before the race is resumed behind the safety car, which leads the field for a lap before it returns to the pit lane. Previously, the race was restarted in race order from the penultimate lap before the red flag was shown. If a race is unable to be resumed, "the results will be taken at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the signal to suspend the race was given." If 75 per cent of the race distance has not been completed and the race cannot be resumed, half points are awarded. No points are awarded if the race cannot be restarted and less than two laps have been completed. Since the first World Championship Grand Prix in 1950, red flags have been shown in sixty-three races. Twenty-six were restarted on the first lap. Thirteen races, nine stopped because of rain and four due to accidents involving drivers, were not restarted. Three races were stopped due to incidents that resulted in fatalities: The 1975 Spanish Grand Prix was stopped on lap twenty-nine and not restarted after Rolf Stommelen's car crashed into a spectator area, killing five people. The 1982 Canadian Grand Prix was halted on the first lap after Riccardo Paletti was killed when his car collided with the back of Didier Pironi's Ferrari. The 1994 San Marino Grand Prix was red-flagged on lap five following the fatal accident of Ayrton Senna, in which his car crashed into a wall at the Tamburello curve.

Article of the month – 2012 Formula One season, current Good Article nominee
The 2012 Formula One season was the 63rd season of the Formula One World Championship, a motor racing championship for Formula One cars recognised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) — the governing body of motorsport — as the highest class of competition for open-wheel racing cars. The season was contested over twenty rounds, which started in Australia on 18 March and ended in Brazil on 25 November. The 2012 season saw the return of the United States Grand Prix, which was held at the Circuit of the Americas, a purpose-built circuit in Austin, Texas. After being cancelled in 2011 due to civil protests, the Bahrain Grand Prix also returned to the calendar. The early season was tumultuous, with seven different drivers winning the first seven races of the championship; a record for the series. It was not until the European Grand Prix in June that a driver, Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, won his second race of the year, and with it, emerged as a championship contender. Alonso maintained his hold on the championship lead for the next seven races, taking his third win in Germany and finishing on the podium in the United Kingdom, Italy and Singapore. However, costly first-lap retirements in Belgium and Japan allowed his rivals to catch up, and defending World Champion Sebastian Vettel — like Alonso, a two-time winner — took the lead in the sixteenth race of the season. Vettel, too, encountered difficulties throughout the season; contact with a backmarker left him to finish outside the points in Malaysia, while alternator failures at the European and Italian Grands Prix cost him valuable points and exclusion from qualifying in Abu Dhabi led him to start from the pit lane. Vettel entered the final race of the season with a thirteen-point lead over Alonso. Alonso needed a podium finish to stand any chance of becoming World Drivers' Champion, but in a race of attrition that finished under the safety car, Vettel finished in sixth place, scoring enough points to win his third consecutive championship, becoming the third driver to do so. In the World Constructors' Championship, Red Bull Racing secured their third consecutive title when Sebastian Vettel finished second at the United States Grand Prix. In addition to seeing seven drivers win the first seven races, the 2012 season broke several records. The calendar for the season included twenty races, breaking the previous record of nineteen, which was first set in 2005. Six current or former World Drivers' Champions — Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Räikkönen, and Michael Schumacher — started the season, breaking the record of five established in 1970.

Your edit to Hugh Le Caine
Port Arthur is, indeed, in Northwestern Ontario. This is a fairly common mistake (and I have gotten into arguments with people about it, both here and in real life). Southwestern Ontario is the area around Windsor and London. Northern Ontario is everything north of North Bay. The line separating Northwestern and Northeastern Ontario vaguely follows the east shore of Lake Superior, then heads due north by Wawa. The sparsely populated northern half of Northern Ontario is called "the far north". vıdıoman 01:04, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
- It makes more sense if you understand the history of Ontario. Everyone lived south of North Bay since the 1700s, they've only been living up here since the late 1800s. Relative to 95% of Ontarians, this region is "up north". Some people in Toronto even consider places like Barrie and Ottawa to be in Northern Ontario.vıdıoman 01:27, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Handloading
Noticed you deleted my addition of shotshell reloading process descriptions in the Handloading article, under a guise of "Not DIY". Don't understand why you believe this was a Do It Yourself instruction set you deleted, as there were clearly not enough steps in the discussion to enable someone actually to reload even a single shotgun shell. Although you may not be aware, there is an industry standard of 5 stations used with shotshell presses, with the station functions standardized, unlike with metallic cartridge presses that have but one "station" that require swapping out dies to do batch operations on metallic cartridges one function at a time. Also, I believe there was clearly a shortfall of discussions on shotshell handloading in the article as it stood, hence the need to broaden the content to include shotshell handloading, too, as I had added. As you can tell from my "handle", Miguel Escopeta, I have a strong interest in shotguns! Thanks. Miguel Escopeta (talk) 17:29, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Gus Grissom's status
Thanks for your edit. I've never been happy with "killed during training" but couldn't quite think how to word it. We both appreciate they were doing more than "training" like the others killed before flight; they were intensely preparing to go. JustinTime55 (talk) 17:12, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello, and thanks for tagging this for notability back in 2008. I've just removed it, as it's improved significantly in that time. If you disagree, please re-add the tag or consider taking it to AfD. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 20:25, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Lotus actually changed its name to John Player Special at this time, so there is good reason to display it thus. --Falcadore (talk) 00:31, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Opinion Sought
Hi - You and I have edited many of the same pages, and so I ask for your opinion. Yesterday's featured article on Thomas Kinkaid gives Kinkaid the credit for the victory at Surigao Strait, as the commander. My thought is that, of course, the credit goes to Oldendorf, and Kinkaid was one level removed. I made a small edit that got reverted by Hawkeye7, an esteemed author. If you have an interest, would you add to the discussion on my talk page? Thank you. JMOprof (talk) 14:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

re Dix - CHECKUSER also needed
Saw your reply; he just came at me on one of the noticeboards, BLP I think, with charged accusations while continuing to claim neutrality; I'm pretty sure it's one of the IP addresses that came before he showed up a few days ago.......CHECKUSER admin needed to have a look behind the veil.....and as I've commented, to see if it's from a known government or party or p.r. company office......I updated on WP:3RR noticeboard about his attack on me, as he's gone and reverted again.......and in an edit comment claimed that my deletion of the attack material was "pro-NDP".Skookum1 (talk) 14:07, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Quick spelling lesson
I noticed your edit to the 2004 Belgian Grand Prix. I appreciate your edits fully, but you need to know something. I write all articles in British English (because I generally only edit UK English articles). The noun, as in "free practice", has two Cs in it. The verb, as in "I practised", has an S in it. Hope you understand now. Spa-Franks (talk) 19:19, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Stupid white space
The white spaces you are currently running around deleting are there for a reason - they allow the infoboxes to be connected to the corresponding text, instead of the text bunching up to the left with a long column of infoboxes to the right. Your edits to Ford Prefect, for instance, made for an enormous whitespace to the bottom let of the page, with generational infoboxes that no longer corresponded to the sections. Please reconsider, Mr.choppers | ✎ 15:01, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
NCIS
I can't believe I found another person who wants to give DiNozzo a smack. Cheers to you!! i would give you a barnstar but there are no barnstars for NCIS... :P So, I'll give you a Burt as a give. Enjoy it and be good to it.
Miss Bono (zootalk) 13:06, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
- I was joking about the barnstar for giving a samck to DiNozzo. But I think there has to be a barnstar for contributing to Articles related To NCIS.
Thanks for the cookies they were delicious :P Miss Bono (zootalk) 14:01, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Engine swap may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 00:11, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

The "Nazi" broad brush
Thanks for your "As for "Nazi"..." comment at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history. Those who insist on labeling everything German from that era as "Nazi" are practicing the same principle used by the Nazis themselves, who in propaganda sought to blame "the Jews" for "everything." What idiocy! Sca (talk) 17:39, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Ken Johnson
Hello, I saw where you relinked Ken Johnson in The California Kid article. There does not appear to be an article about that Ken Johnson in Wikipedia and a link to the Ken Johnson disambiguation page does nothing to help the reader, so I'm wondering why you did that.

This might interest you
There are a fair bit of firearm articles that need clean-up, mostly due to the edits from a group of editors, who might just be one person, per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Uayoa. I've done some clean-up after them but it's a lot of work because it's far easier to add poorly researched material, but takes a lot more work to verify properly.

Handloading
Noticed you deleted my addition of shotshell reloading process descriptions in the Handloading article, under a guise of "Not DIY". Don't understand why you believe this was a Do It Yourself instruction set you deleted, as there were clearly not enough steps in the discussion to enable someone actually to reload even a single shotgun shell. Although you may not be aware, there is an industry standard of 5 stations used with shotshell presses, with the station functions standardized, unlike with metallic cartridge presses that have but one "station" that require swapping out dies to do batch operations on metallic cartridges one function at a time.
