Serie A deletion

edit

You better have a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/La Liga 2006/2007 results December 2006. Basically a non footballing wikipedian has nominated the detailed results sections of Serie A and La Liga for deletion. I'm personally totally against them being deleted. I've voted to keep the pages and I just thought I'd highlight this as you might want to vote either way on this. Thanks Niall123 18:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

F1 results tables

edit

Hi Asendoh. I was just wondering: Is there any reason you haven't included WC round numbers in the heading of the non-works Surtees, Matra and non-works March F1 results tables? I was going to add them in, but then I thought you might have deliberately left them out for some reason. Thanks. P.S. Great work on those tables, by the way!

F1 race report infoboxes

edit

Hi Asendoh. I noticed you recently added infoboxes to a couple of the 1987 F1 race reports. Can I request that if you plan to do any more, you use the {{Infobox Grand Prix race report}} template, rather than {{F1 race report infobox}}, as per this discussion. Thanks.

Linking of "McLaren"

edit

Hi Asendoh. Thanks for all the F1 results table updates you've done recently. One tiny point to note: it's not necessary to link the word "McLaren" to Team McLaren, i.e. [[Team McLaren|McLaren]], because Team McLaren is just a redirect to McLaren anyway, so you can just write [[McLaren]]. But apart from that, keep up the good work! DH85868993 (talk) 02:28, 26 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I like the way the world goes. I work my ass on an article for months, an IP editor comes (don't ban them and force everyone to make an account so you can control them better, nooooooooooo, they must stay here AND cause all sort of troubles, they have freedom to ruin other people's work!) and disrupt your work, without even bothering to discuss on the talk page. And as a big thank you for trying to stop him (ok I was rude but hell, how many times did he undid our changes? Things like this make me angry...), WOW! A WARNING! Yahoo I'll now be at risk while the IP fool can continue doing whatever he wants! I'm really really happy right now! Asendoh (talk) 15:26, 28 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Like I said, there were plenty of options for you - reporting him to WP:AIV, WP:ANI, WP:DR. Also, because someone else took the time to report this to the correct place, I protected the page from IP protection for a brief period. Your indignation is completely unfounded when you don't take the time to do/report things properly. Tan | 39 15:38, 28 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Don't really know. You could ask an admin. I guess if it becomes too much you could ask for your userpage to be semi-protected, which would stop IP vandalism. Ged UK (talk) 08:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I've got the guy temporarily blocked, but if he's moving IP addresses it won't have much affect. If he continues to vandalise the relevant pages, I'll request they get IP protected. Like I said above, if they keep vandalising your page, you can request that your userpage gets protected. Ged UK (talk) 12:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

User page protection

edit

The protection of your user page recently expired and regrettably some unregistered users are taking this as a opportunity to vandalize. Following a request at WP:RFPP by another user I have renewed the semi-protected your user page until the 1 August, noting that you have not being active on Wikipedia in the last few days. If you want the page unprotected, or expiry changed, please let me know on my talk page. Camaron | Chris (talk) 13:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Just to let you know, I have Whois checked all the offending IPs and templated the user talk pages appropriately. The results are that all the IPs used are registred to Telekom Malaysia Berhad, which means that this person is assessing the internet through them and keeps changing IPs through connecting/disconnecting to the internet. As a last resort, a abuse report could be sent to Telekom Malaysia. Camaron | Chris (talk) 10:04, 23 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The users edits today reached a new low, the use of racism and libel as well as the determination of this user is of particular concern. The IP addresses of this user have a dedicated abuse report e-mail address and I have decided I might as well prepare an abuse report to send off if necessary to see what the ISP has to say.

I have prepared a reasonable abuse report, I will hold it back for now and see if the disruption continues later on. Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

It is unfortunate that this user has returned again. I have not taken any action with the IP as it is clear that the user has long since abandoned it to use another later. I will re-start the action of quickly blocking new IPs as I see them that that engage in disruptive activity. If the blocks are evaded, all relevant pages can be semi-protected to enforce the blocks. I will send you a draft of the abuse report now, it is not finished but something that can be worked with. Camaron | Chris (talk) 19:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I see another admin has already semi-protected most relevant pages, that should help stop the disruption for now. Camaron | Chris (talk) 10:35, 18 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

The protection I have placed on your user pages was set to shortly expire so I have renewed them to 1 December 2008 to stop things flaring up again. Camaron | Chris (talk) 22:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

2009 Spanish motorcycle Grand Prix

edit

Having noticed your topic on the talk page, I did some investigating into it. Both reasons seem to be correct, having checked through the classification pdf. The grid situation was a mystery, however I managed to establish why. As Hoyle was outside the time limit in all sessions, he was barred from racing. Folger had been inside in both free practice sessions, while Lopez and Dalmau were inside in one of the two sessions. The grid was re-arranged accordingly.

FP1: Folger 1:50.030; Hoyle, Dalmau & Lopez outside

FP2: Folger 1:49.730, Dalmau 1:53.661, Lopez 1:54.402, Hoyle outside

You are now a Reviewer

edit
 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:44, 15 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Just a friendly note

edit

Hey Luca, I've noticed you've done a lot of reverting unsourced IP edits regarding numbers/riders etc. Don't be afraid to give the IPs warning to deter them from editing with rubbish. On another point, what is your opinion on "standings after the race" sections on the MotoGP race article pages per the F1 race article pages. Regards. Cs-wolves(talk) 15:51, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

I thought about giving warnings to IP editors a while ago, but the volatile nature of these editor make them essentially useless. I always check the nationality of the IP and they really come from all over the world, and most of them do only a bunch of edits and then disappear. Plus, that's what I would do if I didn't check Wiki's guidelines about sources, because there's nothing wrong to me with those edits as they are very close to what will be the official lineup.
As for the standings after the race: I'm ambivalent about the question. The can be useful to have a snapshot of what the championship looked like after a race, but after all it's a rather accessory information. Another reason of doubt is the number of active contributors of the two projects: in the F1 project there are a hundred active members and many many more casual editors due to the worldwide popularity of the sport; that helps them to maintain all the tables updated and the pages clean.
On the other hand, we can count the active members of the GP project using just two hands and we probably would have fingers to spare. The standings after the race section would add up six other tables to a page that is already crowded, and tables take a while to be made (the average time for me is 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the category and the number of riders, and I'm using a program to make it as automated as possible). And then there's the thing I hate the most, the pages would become bunches of even more names and numbers, while I'd like them to be full of reports and infos like the F1 ones (but I can't do it, I almost always don't have time to watch all 3 races in a day, let alone write a report for them). So for now I'd leave the pages as they are.
Sorry for teasing you with this WoT :) Asendoh (talk) 19:37, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
Yeah, fair point on both ideas. Just wanted to throw it out to you for opinions and that's what I got! Many thanks. :) Cs-wolves(talk) 22:54, 10 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

2011 Superbike season

edit

The official site can list whatever ever flag it likes, it's not relevant. The Wikipedia has defined that the flag means country. The official site does not do that, it just lists the flag without further comment. We've provided the comment. Our interpretation is wrong. World Superbike merely are attaching a flag for decorative purposes, it's entirely their right to do so, but MOSFLAG prevents us, or at the very least, strongly suggests, we should not place flags decoratively.

In any case Europe is not, and never has been a country. Change the column title. You may have the lose the flags anyway. --Falcadore (talk) 13:44, 27 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
