2008 Formula One season

This regards you and

User:Linczone

. I know you two have been reverting each others edits in regards to F1 test drivers, and there seems to be no end in sight. You have an actually valid source (F1.com) which claims these people are test drivers, and he has a valid claim that F1.com is mistaken. So I recommend, if possible, that you two stop editing warring with each other, and discuss this on either of your user pages, or the article talk page, and find a solution. This constant reverting is not helpful.

I am not trying to blame anyone or accuse someone of wrong doing, just simply trying to find a solution that works best, and some discussion between you two as it seems there might just be a lack of understanding. The359 (talk) 20:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Page Assessments

Hi, an individual editor can not grade an article above class B. There is a process for assessing article beyond this; see Wikipedia:Good article nominations. It would be best to put the football page back to B, and I guess that the page needs a lot more references to reach the GA standard. I wonder if you can coordinate work on the football page using Wikipedia:WikiProject Coventry. Some of the football teams in Birmingham have got their pages to FA status, I think.

The article currently lacks sources (no in-line citations or references) and has not made any assertions of notability (no indication of the importance/relevance of each award listed). Unless both issues are properly addressed, the article should be re-directed to the main Coldplay article for the time being.

I've also noticed you've been showing a lot of

Coldplay discography - Lost?

Hi, i notice you've reverted my edits regarding 'Lost?' on the Coldplay discography a number of times now and am left wondering why as you have left no description in the edit history. I assure you that the 'Lost?' is the track that charted, not 'Lost!' and overall i am just left bemused as to why you keep changing this back.

Hi, I've started a discussion about your recent homogeneization of champions tables in several racing series: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Motorsport#homogenization of champions tables - Rollof1 (talk) 11:40, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed your references to Pedro de la Rosa and Bruno Senna being the drivers for Campos Grand Prix in 2010. The websites you have been linking to do not back up your claims; they only post rumours that the two drivers will be signed on. The Spanish media has traditionally been very unreliable when it comes to the Formula One driver market - they've been perpetrating the Alonso-to-Ferrari myths for years now - and they will probably become even worse now that there is a Spanish-backed team in the sport. If Valencia comes around and Campos annouce that de la Rosa and Senna will indeed be driving for them, then I'll be the first person to admit I was wrong and I'll even make the changes to the page myself. But in the meantime, please wait, at least until such time as a credible news source - like F1-Live or Autosport or GP Update - post it. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 05:18, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any chance you could expand slightly on your new articles? Yes, they need creating, but surely quality is more important than quantity.

I hate to have to be the one to do this, but it has to be said: would you mind putting a little more thought into what you add to the 2010 F1 page? You evidently contribute a lot to Wikipedia, but I'm afraid I haven't seen you add anything of value to the 2010 page. Your blank table was unnecessary. Your list of teams was redundant because of the table further down the page, and it was misleading because Mercedes is not a part of FOTA. Your updates to the table itself have been reversed countless times. Your naming of Virgin as "Manor Virgin Racing" openly contradicted the source you listed, which was simply "Virgin Racing". Please just stop and think for a moment before you edit in! I have no qualms about bringing moderator action about to people who vandalise, but you're clearly not vandalising at all. You're just not thinking about what you're doing, and in the process you're creating more work for everyone else. If you're uncertain about something, ask on the talk page. Wikipedia is not a news service, and when you start treating it like one, you start getting misleading and often incorrect information going. The accuracy of what we edit in is far more important than the speed with which we get it right. So please, take a moment before you edit again - because if you keep going the way you're going, you'll have to answer up to the moderators.

I think the split templates are needed. It was awkward and too cluttered before.

No. Prove that testing is sufficiently notable for the coverage. Don't get mad. Justify it in words other than "it's important". --Falcadore (talk) 10:20, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have never said it is not interesting. What it is not is notable. Wikipedia is not a statistics resource. It is not a repository of trivia. If it is important to young drivers then the detail belongs on the individual driver pages.

Of course teams complain about testing bans. But that again does not make testing result notable. I may make the complaint notable.

The material placed on Wikipedia is not what it interesting it is what is notable. Testing can best be represent in Wikipedia motorsport articles with one or two sentences without graphs. Those few interested in test times have plenty of opportunity to look up those test times through the websites of the series, or the various other statistics based web resources.

You have a wonderful passion for this. I just wish you could write more sentences and less tables. More content, less trivia.

If you are so convinced I am so far from wrong, bring it up at the Wikiproject. The growing consensus of the last month has been to scale back on the insignificant. This is merely an extension of that trend. --Falcadore (talk) 10:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

then comes the complaint that articles are too short - I have never, ever seen such a complaint. I don't really consider a fiction Japanese animated drama for children is really relevant to the discussion. How much coverage do you see of practice Tennis matches? Of Boxing spars? Where are the Wikipedia tables covering Freestyle aerial skiing maneuvers achieved while practicing for the Olympics? What is notable to drivers is not important here. The drivers can look up the test sheets while standing in pitlane, they are not going to look it up on Wikipedia. It is not Wikipedia's role to record minuate.

It is perhaps important to remind you that motorsport fans are NOT the target audience of Wikipedia, but rather the general public. --Falcadore (talk) 11:11, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. As you probably know, "Waiting in Line" has been listed as an unreleased song by Coldplay. The question is though, is it? The source that I got that mentioned the song said that Waiting in Line was either a seperate song that did not make the final cut for Parachutes or any B-side for it (AKA: a song like Famous Old Painters, Something Ain't Right or Deserter ect..) or it was a seperate song that was writen alongside Shiver but the two were eventually fused together to creat the

No, Waiting in Line was never played live or leaked onto the internet. I have no clue about it other than the name. I may very well be an early title to Shiver or was morphed into the current song. As for the other songs, name all of the songs that you never heard of and I'll tell you about them. Every one of them existed but only a handfull have been played live (Ladder to the Sun) and most were just recorded for an album and then scrapped and never heard by any other listeners other than the band and their friends. EX:(Echo My Name)--

Ok well you said

Okay I haven't heard of these:

In order, "Mooie Ellebogen" was a Dutch song that was written by a friend of the band and was put on special release of the Clocks single. A View from the Top, If She Comes Back, and Someone to Love were all preformed in a soundcheck in Norway back in 2002. More than likely these songs were written for AROBTTH but were scraped. Even so, they were still preformed in secret during a soundcheck and were recorded by a few listeners, a kid from Norway finally uploaded them to Youtube a few months ago. However the quality fothe songs are terrible and you can only make out a few words and the chorus in each song. Blasphemy, Déjà Vu, Echo My Name (I Can't Believe You're Gone), Fury, Something Ain't Right, and Turn Your World Around werea ll written for X&Y and were even on the first proposed tracklisting for the album. However they were all scrapped in later proposals and were never played live or even leaked onto the internet. However, Echo My Name (I Can't Believe You're Gone) may be an early version of Til Kingdom come. Deserter, Eyes for Eyes, Fingers Crossed, This Hollow Frame and Your World's Turned Upside Down were all written for AROBTTH and were scrapped. None of them (with the exeption of Your World's Turned Upside Down) were ever played live or leaked onto the internet. Call me and Love I'm So Tired were written and preformed during the first few years of the band and were even recoded by a girl at one of their first concerts. However, the recoding has yet to be released onto the internet or anywere else for that matter. December was one of the fist 10 songs written by the band but was never preformed live (that I knwo of) and was never released. However, the first line of Violet Hill contains a lyric fromt he song Was a long and dark December. Goodbye and Goodnight was written for Viva and was on the leaked demos (along with Bloodless Revolution) I have it. School was also written for Viva and was the intro to Rainy Day but was later scrapped. However, the first "quiet" half of Death and all his friends is the entire song. The Butterfly was also written for Viva and played ina charity concert by CM but was never recorded or played ever again, so we'll likely never hear it. The Blue Room and Waiting in Line were mentioned in a tracklisting for Parachutes on Coldplay.com back in 1999 but both were scrapped. I think that was the last of them....--

I notice you've taken to adding Superleague Formula to a bunch of circuits in their major events, I'm leaning towards removing them, though not for the reason you might assume. The articles are about the circuits. Major events should list the major events in the circuits history, the races which have shaped its story, rather than a list of contemporary events. To use Monza as an example, the Races of Two Worlds which was short in history but dramatic in impact as American roadsters raced against European Grand Prix cars would be considerably more important for Monza's story rather than just another open-wheel ladder series Formula no matter what its marketting appeal may be. For some of the more modern much younger circuits, it could be that Superleague would be considered a significant event for them, but mostly it won't. It should be representative of all of its years, not just this year. --Falcadore (talk) 22:58, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I changed it on the fly, my apologies. It was just cycling through the older seasons that I noticed that Romain Grosjean was listed as the winner in the Pau rounds a few seasons ago that swung my mind this way. With the Euroseries teams likely to enter the British series at some point, we could have a situation in which the best British runner is halfway down the main results and may confuse users that aren't fully aware of the system. Also, apologies for not replying to your message sooner. Cs-wolves(talk) 18:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I've probably been slightly critical when it comes to that. It may look like from the edits I'm frustrated by it, but I'm not. I just think it looks a lot cleanlier with full, expanded references rather than just a bare link. Most of the FAs and GAs have expanded refs so if it ever came to the pushing of an article up to such standards, half of the work has already been completed! Cs-wolves(talk) 19:02, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, very true. Usually I would update the driver pages after doing the season pages, but have fell behind in that very woefully. I've found a point in the watchlist where I know where I am, and am working back from that. Might take a few days to rectify but should be up to standard eventually.

Your query is related to this but you can access a limited FORIX site via their Twitter account. It may be slow to update but you can usually access the information necessary there. Sure, you have to search through a lot of "tweets" due to it being 20 per section but you'll get there. What you have to understand is that people may not necessarily fill in the information that is left unknown and then it all comes down to whether the person does come back and find it. However, the information may not be readily available immediately and thus the question marks appear, I can see where you are coming from.

The idea of being ungrateful is unfounded because I'm not; I'm actually glad of such assistance when updating the stuff. Sometimes I fall behind in the work of updating it and it's good to have help. The referencing you could improve upon however: See Wikipedia:Bare URLs as to why bare URLs should be avoided. If the tone sounded horrific, I must sincerely apologise. Also, sorry for the lateness of the reply. Cs-wolves(talk) 16:52, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind words, and it means a lot to have people understanding one another on somewhere where it is more likely to have IP vandalism than constructive editing! When I was first on here, I was the same - poor referencing and the like but going through has made me realise that other users should be tutored into the realms of good editing. It shouldn't be a rush to get everything on the wiki as soon as it happens (mid-race F1 updates by WrcF1 have been shot down quite rightly!) but it should be laboured in how it is approached. If you need any help with the work or publisher parameters when referencing, just leave a note on my talk page! Cs-wolves(talk) 14:35, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if it looks as though I'm on a mission to revert your edits tonight - I really don't want it to appear that way. I'm just ensuring that what we're doing matches the sources given.

Please read

WP:GNG

. See:

• "A topic is deemed appropriate for inclusion as a standalone article if it ... has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources"
• "All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
• "Most songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article"
• "Notability aside, a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album."

HRT and Ma Qinghua

Hi Mr. X,

Will you please stop adding

2012 Formula One season page? Although he appears on the official site of the team, the site itself does not give any explanation as to his role within the team; it simply gives a summary of his career. If you follow this link and this one, more details are given. Ma is a member of HRT's development programme. He does not attend races or take part in practice sessions the way other test drivers (like Valtteri Bottas

) do. He will only take part in the Young Driver Tests later this year, and, as per consensus, participating in the YDT is not considered to be notable enough for inclusion in the team and driver table.

So please, stop including him in the table. He is not considered to be a test or reserve driver. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 10:00, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Coventry City List

Please don't keep re-adding flags which do not indicate meaning, and are not listed at the source. What has happened at some of these lists is that there is a column for those people who have played international football whilst at the club, so that could be adopted (with suitable sources). Eldumpo (talk) 18:47, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, information regarding a player's nationality is widely cited and a common piece of information to include on Wikipedia, so I believe that should remain in place on the article. I appreciate some of your edits but you also renamed a player to a redirect so that was against standard and useful Wikipedia guidelines. Some of the references on that page do need updating, or including where they do not exist, but the issue with the flags is one which I don't believe warrants such an argument. Officially Mr X (talk) 06:34, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where are the references for this widely cited information on 'nationality'. It does not seem to be listed at 11 v 11, and in any case flags should not just be placed next to a player without context. Also, it is correct to give names as they appear in the sources, and there is nothing wrong with that being a redirect, and it might suggest the players article should change name? Eldumpo (talk) 07:09, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

11v11 does list the player's nationality and/or place of birth, in almost every case, so I don't know how you missed that. As well as simply being common practice on Wikipedia to place national flags by sportsplayers, it also helps with the readability of an article to have those flags there to distinguish between players and provide another piece of useful information to the reader. Any downside to having flags certainly isn't apparent to me at the moment. As for redirects, if you are sure that the majority of sources cite a player as having a different variation on his name than the player article on Wikipedia, then by all means rename the page, but make sure to state both common names used in the body of the individual player's article. Officially Mr X (talk) 16:51, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looking under Chaplin, 11 v 11 does not list any info about his 'country', although anyway note place of birth and 'nationality' are not the same thing. See also

WP:MOSFLAG. If the reference(s) uses a certain name for a player then that should be used in the List, you don't have to also change the article page, that is another matter. Eldumpo (talk) 06:40, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply

Coventry City managers

I notice you have reversed changes I made to the Coventry City managers page. Let me explain reason I amended the page. Coventry City fans of a certain age know that John Sillett was in charge of playing affairs from the time Don Mackay left in May 1986 yet so many sources name George Curtis as manager. The truth is that George’s role during that period was General Manager more in line with a modern Chief Executive and his role with the playing staff was very minimal, a fact that can be supported by many players from the squad. A member of John’s family has asked if this can be reflected in my writing and if I can influence other platforms to correct the situation. Wikipedia is my starting point and I hope to amend things on other platforms eg club website, in the future. That is the reason for the amendment. I hope you can allow me to correct this and other pages to reflect the facts. Jim Brown, Official club historian--Statto1 (talk) 09:07, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That does make sense. Frankly, if you are the real Jim Brown then I'm going to defer to your authoritative knowledge, nobody would know more than you on these subjects. Pretty sure I read in one of your books about Curtis being the manager but whether it be semantics or simply a correction of the narrative then fair enough, make the change. Thanks, take care Officially Mr X (talk) 09:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I appreciate that. Maybe we can work together to improve the Coventry City page and related pages. I am not a Wikipedia expert and you seem to be one! Are there any pages that you think need reviewing/editing. You can communicate with me on email if you want. [email protected] --Statto1 (talk) 11:53, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers Jim, Wikipedia isn't always known for being 100% accurate but the flip-side is that it remains people's first port of call for a lot of topics. I think the CCFC articles are fairly comprehensive but definitely room for improvement/expansion. Your help would be great because you have access to archives and information that not a lot of people will have. There are a few articles which could do with a bit of fact-checking and/or expanding upon, so maybe you'd like to take a read of these at some point, perhaps over a glass of wine!..

• List of Coventry City F.C. players (this is supposed to chronologically list all players who played 100+ times for the club, I am certain that there are players missing, mostly as you go further back in time)
• List of Coventry City F.C. records and statistics (just to see if you agree with these, or any interesting omissions)
• History of Coventry City F.C. (looks pretty thorough, I think several people have contributed to this)

Cheers again. Officially Mr X (talk) 18:02, 11 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Peterson page move

I've reverted the page move back to where it was. If you had looked at the talk page you'd see it has been requested multiple times and rejected each time mostly because he's not notable as an author, but as a convicted murderer. Ravensfire (talk) 01:23, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Surely that is incorrect and misleading though? Perhaps "alleged criminal" would be accurate but labeling his primary disambiguation as "criminal" seems wrong to me; at least have the page name as something accurate, even if you don't like using the word "novelist". I'll make the argument on the talk page as well but the point seems obvious to me. Officially Mr X (talk) 11:28, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Officially Mr X, "alleged" is certainly not accurate. As things are right now, he's been convicted of killing his wife. Yes, he's contesting that, but at least for now, that's what he is. You can read the many arguements on both sides in the multiple prior move discussions that have already happened. You really should have at least glanced at the talk page first.

BreadTube

I removed Current Affairs (magazine) from BreadTube again. I don't want to get into a pointless edit war over this so let me explain what it would take to make it legitimate for Current Affairs (magazine) to be listed in the BreadTube article. That way you can see if there is some way to genuinely meet the criteria and, if there is, I won't object to its inclusion. If not, then maybe it will help you to understand why inclusion is inappropriate.

Everything on Wikipedia has to be

original research

. So far, we have nothing to verify the claim that Current Affairs (magazine) is a part of BreadTube or LeftTube, never-mind a significant/prominent/notable part. I can see why somebody might think that Current Affairs (magazine)'s YouTube videos are somewhat similar to those that are called BreadTube but that is just opinion and/or original research until there is something substantial to back it up.

If you can find one, or more,

reliable sources (So, not subreddits or blogs!) explicitly saying that Current Affairs (magazine) is a significant part of "BreadTube" or "LeftTube" (It must use one of those specific terms!) then you can add that the Current Affairs (magazine)

article and then maybe it can be included on the list. Until then Current Affairs (magazine) is not considered BreadTube; It is just a magazine that has a YouTube channel, just like a large proportion of other newspapers and magazines do. Also, with only 30K subscribers, it seems very unlikely to me that it can be significant enough to include even if it is demonstrably a minor part of BreadTube. Of course, if reliable sources say otherwise then that's fair enough.

So that is what it takes if you want to prove me wrong. Find good, reliable sources that explicitly support your claim and put them in the Current Affairs (magazine) article. I'm not going to make a fool of myself continuing to argue a lost point, so you can prevail here, but only if the sources support your claim. So far, I haven’t seen any indication that they do. --DanielRigal (talk) 12:52, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked?

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Officially Mr X (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 192.168.0.4. Sometimes I need to use a VPN to connect to my work servers (in which case I get allocated some other random IP address), but surely this is standard for most people working at home these days? Please explain. On the list of active blocks, "No matching blocks found for the requested IP address or username." - so this also makes no sense - was I autoblocked? Officially Mr X (talk) 10:38, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That is not your Internet address. To determine your Internet address, you should use a tool like WhatIsMyIP. But you note you have been using a VPN. Once you disable your VPN, you need to wait a full 24 hours for the block to clear here. Yamla (talk) 11:56, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:

Caught by an open proxy block but this host or IP is not an open proxy. My IP address is 5.68.219.115. Second attempt. Please explain the VPN thing - surely almost everyone uses a VPN of one sort or anyother these days from time to time? Officially Mr X (talk) 12:01, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As below. VPNs are generally not permitted to use for editing(merely reading is not affected) due to abuse, as vandals and spammers use them to evade detection and blocking. If you have a specific need to use one, you may request an exemption per the instructions at

WP:IPECPROXY. I think a general interest in privacy is insufficient to be granted an exemption, but I'm not certain. 331dot (talk) 12:24, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

You have not yet waited 24 hours since disabling your VPN. And no, use of VPN's is generally prohibited here, at least if you wish to edit. This is due to massive and horrific abuse. --Yamla (talk) 12:08, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your perspective. Using a VPN on my laptop is required in order to access my employment company's network - it is impossible for anybody from my company to work from home without first connecting to our secure VPN. I would have thought that this is standard practice for millions of working professionals in 2022, so I am not sure how Wikipedia can sustain a policy which procludes editors from using a VPN on their computers - it doesn't really make practical sense. Officially Mr X (talk) 12:52, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is not standard practice because VPN's don't typically provide meaningful security. I say that in my role as a software developer and security professional (and one who occasionally does use a VPN), not as an official statement by Wikipedia.

WP:IPBE may be available to you. --Yamla (talk) 12:56, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

We use "Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client" - it is the only way to access our company's data servers from home. Officially Mr X (talk) 13:52, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Billy Smith (footballer, born 1882)

Hello, and thank you for adding his Coventry stats to the infobox. Please could you go back and add your source for the stats as well, I'm guessing it's a book, so enough to identify the book and the page number(s) would be fine if you don't want to do all the formatting. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:27, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, this was my reference:

Many thanks Officially Mr X (talk) 10:13, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's brilliant, thank you, didn't realise 11v11 had started including early Southern League stats. I've added it to Mr Smith's page. I've also taken out the zeroes from his first spell at Cov, which was in their days in the Birmingham leagues so won't be covered by the 11v11 source. thanks again, Struway2 (talk) 11:00, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution

If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else.

PS you might be able to move the draft into mainspace. I know it feels awkward giving this to a new page reviewer, but yeah preserving attribution is important. Awesome Aasim 18:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not one for red tape. The page should be live, not in draft, even if the page is still missing some information. What do you recommend? Officially Mr X (talk) 18:38, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can wait for the mainspace page to get deleted, and then you can use the "move" link on the draft to move the draft into mainspace. You will have to change the "namespace" in the move form from "Draft" to "(Article)" before submitting. Awesome Aasim 19:59, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
