Speedy deletion nomination of Steve slater

.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please read the many articles on How to edit Wikipedia before doing any further work. Your intentions are good, but you need to understand what is suitable or not for an encyclopedia, and how to edit and mark up pages properly. Thank you. Harry the Dog WOOF 12:58, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Learn to edit well, then criticize

Hi. Firstly, who are these "many"? And how many times have I done this? Hyperbolic untrue statements as the one you made just make you look petty and ignorant. Secondly, take a look at the comments up this page from this one. You have been criticized already for poor editing and for fundamentally not understanding what Wikipedia is. Go and read some of the

Mercedes GP a boring, tedious, dull litany of "and then they went to this race and finished here, and then they went to another race and finished there, this was followed by another race where they finished blah blah blah blah ad infinitum, ad nauseum, ad tedium" simply makes the article worse. Why do you want to bore people to death? In summary, your edits are boring and use very poor English. Rather than try and rescue a dead duck, I reverted. Why do you expect to be able to add poor quality material here and for it to survive? Are you expecting other editors to waste their time, their volunteer time, their recreational time, in following you around and cleaning up your garbage? Pyrope

Rachit, you need to actually read what you write. Your precise comments were "many users including me don't like your attitude of removing F1 results from pages updated by us. I don't understand the need of removing F1 results from pages of various drivers and teams. Can you please tell a Reason why you do so. If you remove the results from various pages, what will you be left to update?". Now re-read my comments above and relate the two. You may well have a good knowledge of Formula One, but this isn't a site for simply regurgitating what you know. It bears repeating, so I shall, that Wikipedia is a general interest encyclopedia that is intended for both informing and entertaining (entertaining being just as important) members of the general public. People who likely have no previous knowledge of the subject that you are presenting. In the long run precise details of a particular race, unless they are momentous (controversies, milestones, serious accidents, etc.), are spurious in an article such as that. Just look at the mess that Scuderia Ferrari is in at the moment. Do you think anyone with only a passing interest in Formula One will bother to read all that? No, of course they won't. Why? Because after a while it just gets dull. The biggest problem we have in WP:F1 is that because a lot of teenage boys with, let's face it, questionable social skills are interested in Formula One we do tend to attract a huge quantity of fancruft. I'd dearly like to take a hatchet to the Scuderia Ferrari page and try to generate something readable, but I know I'd be fighting a losing battle. The topic is simply too high profile and is popular with zealots who can't tell when they are boring: "Oh I disagree, if you want to understand the history of Ferarri in Formula One it is absolutely vital that you know Fernando Alonso had a bit of a sniffle in first practice for the Australian Grand Prix!" Finally, I would again just point your attention to the top of this page where another editor has helpfully placed a few links to some very useful guidance pages. If you are serious about contributing constructively to Wikipedia I suggest you spend a couple of of hours relaxing and reading through them. Also, by "signing" a comment I mean that you use four tildas (~~~~) at the end of your comment. The Wiki software then does the rest, date stamps it, and provides links to your home and talk pages, like this... Pyrope 15:13, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Your recent edits

talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk
