Spyker/Force India page move
Hi. I'm not entirely convinced moving those two to a new page was a good idea. It's usually a good idea to discuss significant changes like that at WP:F1 before making them, as others have often put thought into the way things are done and there may be good reasons for not changing them.

Anyway, I've started a discussion there now at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Formula_One, hope you will join in. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 09:01, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Reply - 2008 F1 References
I was a bit confused as to why the relative references were replaced, It seems a bit unnecessary. It doesn't really matter though. Thanks - Linczone Talk / Watch  10:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

riddles
There are 2 fathers and two sons but only three people. Why?
 * Person A is Person B's father, Person B is Person C's father.
 * Person B is Person A's son, Person C is Person B's son.
 * Ajl772 (talk) 20:10, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

A man was looking at a portrait. Someone asked him, 'Whose picture are you looking at?' He replied:'Brothers and sisters I have none, but this man's father is my father's son.'Whose picture was the man looking at? Look at this one carefully.
 * He is looking at his son's picture.

WPF1 Newsletter, Issue 1
Here it is, at last... -- Diniz (talk) 18:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Click here for it
 * By the way, looking at the top of this page: I didn't sign you up for the newsletter; someone else did. I transferred the request to another page specifically about the newsletter.-- Diniz (talk) 18:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your interest. LB22 is the founder and editor of the newsletter, so you should speak to him if you want to get involved.-- Diniz (talk) 18:50, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Cool!
Yes, I would like it if you helped me in the making of the letter. Do you whatever you can to make it great! If you have any quieries, just contact me (founder) or Diniz (editor in chief).  LB22   (talk to me!)  Email me! 19:00, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry it took so long to get an answer to your question back to you.--Mifter (talk) 22:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Attempt at the riddles
Okay here goes:


 * 1. Grandfather, father and son.
 * 2. Picking the 5 best apples is not related to the basket.
 * 3. His son.
 * 4. Does this have something to do with the fact that the plural people is used? So if B doesn't work with A then he has to work with more than one person? In that case I would go with no, A is guilty.

March WPF1 Newsletter
With March nearly here, I have created a draft version of the next WPF1 Newsletter in my sandbox. Please feel free to edit and/or make suggestions!-- Diniz (talk) 23:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your contribution. I was planning on sending this out tomorrow or in the early days of March (pending LB22's input), so describing the Australian GP as a current event might be a bit misleading.  In addition, I don't want to sound rude, but I think that what you wrote can be tidied up a bit.  Would you mind if I copyedited it?-- Diniz (talk) 18:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Copyediting is just making sure that material in Wikipedia has the correct spelling, grammar and formatting (as per the Manual of Style.-- Diniz (talk) 00:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name 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) 13:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Newsletter (3)
Thanks for telling me - it's looking good so far! You made a good choice of image as well: it wasn't being used in Wikipedia, so I have added it to the Andrea de Adamich and March Engineering articles.-- Diniz (talk) 20:52, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, Spurzem in particular seems to have a mountain of photos from the old Nürburgring. When I transfer freely-licensed F1 photos from Flickr to the Commons, they're almost always from the last couple of years, so it's nice to have users who are willing to share their vintage ones!-- Diniz (talk) 21:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

April Newsletter
Thanks for telling me. I have linked it to the main newsletter page. As for LB22's comment, I think that anyone who wants to should be able to see and edit the newsletter before it is officially sent to the recipients - this is a wiki, after all!-- Diniz (talk) 19:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

(LB22 sighs deeply!)
Oh ok! I s'pose it won't do to much bother. I am hiding a missing link on my Newsletter desk!!  LB22   (talk to me!)  Email me! 19:56, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe, but you are right that some people may not care. And the 'hiding of the link' is discontinued, for reasons Diniz can explain.  LB22   (talk to me!)  Email me! 17:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Hiding the newsletter link
My apologies if I was too strong in my language. Basically, I don't like the idea of pretending to have a link to the next newsletter, but then hiding it somewhere else. I think that we should either (a) have a clear link to the next newsletter on the main newsletter page so that anyone can edit it if they want, or (b) not have a link at all, and anyone who wants to contribute can contact one of us for more information.-- Diniz (talk) 18:57, 5 March 2008 (UTC) P.S. A secret page would not be connected to the newsletter. It's just a game that some users play which is not connected to the content of the encyclopedia.-- Diniz (talk) 18:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * OK then, I'm happy with that. :)-- Diniz (talk) 19:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I would just like you to help me get it up to about 500 articles and try and get in loads of people. Have you looked at it yet? Also, this is a project that is gonna take at least 6 months, so are you ready.

F1 Wikia
Well, the F1 Wikia is a big databaase and fan website devoted to the sport. It was made in March 2007 but was abandoned with only 3 articles. I took it under my wing in October 2007 but abandoned it in January 08. I then went to Club Penguin Wiki (which is what I play on a lot) and here, Wikipedia (although my first edit was in November 07). I now think that you and me could go in together as we both have a substantial amount of knowledge and it's easier to do things together. So are in?

Is Chubb your surname? I never guessed. Yes youve guessed my surname! I love the edits! Remember to make articles on facts as well as news! And also remember to put in F1 Encyclopedia: because that is what I made. You might need to add a redirect page for the article namespace

 LB22   (talk to me!)  Email me! 19:05, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

No, I have just been doing some work. With the encyclopedia, there is a namespace on there called F1 Encyclopedia. When you create an article, you must add F1 Encyclopedia: to the front of it! Get it now?  LB22   (talk to me!)  Email me! 19:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
