Think someone could find out WHICH Belleville he died in? There are nine different Bellevilles in the US. — Dale Arnett (talk) 02:12, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article could be improved by explaining the numbers in three columns of the race victories table. The year (date) column lists some years as a dash-1 or dash-2, (presumably for January and February); I recommend elimination of those unexplained dash-numbers. Also, there are two columns with headings "Nr." and "Number" - the reader may understand what numbers are, in general, but what is the meaning of these particular numbers below the number headings(?). Perhaps the first column of item numbers (on an itemized list) could be eliminated, since they are already in date sequence and since readers can count; perhaps the last column of unexplained 1's and 2's could also be eliminated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.183.224.2 (talk) 21:01, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing out how the article was confusing & I have clarified the headings accordingly. Find bruce (talk) 00:35, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
