Welcome to WPF1. Ther is a Newsletter exclusive to WPF1 members. All we ask are things listed. ' Chubb ' enna  itor  16:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Lucas Di Grassi
Hi Cdhaptomos. I've reverted your change of moving Lucas Di Grassi to Lucas di Grassi. Di Grassi's official website consistently uses a capital 'D', so it seems reasonable for us to follow that example. Currently, all references to him within the English Wikipedia (that I'm aware of) also use capital 'D'. I'm more than happy to discuss the issue at Talk:Lucas Di Grassi, but if the consensus is that it needs to be changed, then we need to change it everywhere throughout Wikipedia. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 22:24, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

WD
Could I ask y u removed the WD for the Monaco Grand Prix of Sato and Davidson. ' Chubb ' enna  itor  20:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

What I don't understand is y for SA but not the drivers. I'd understand not every one and update per race but not just one WD and expect people to automatically know that they withdrew from every race ( as far as we know). ' Chubb ' enna  itor  21:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I know they weren't expected but they still withdrew didn't they. I know that if I'd just got interested in F1 and I saw the page I'd want to know why they haven't been marked down. They don't need WD but the white boxes would be fine. ' Chubb ' enna  itor  10:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Never mind. They withdrew from everything but the decision is ok. ' Chubb ' enna  itor  13:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Dionysus Explorer Scout Unit
A tag has been placed on Dionysus Explorer Scout Unit requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 11:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Individual Explorer Scout units are just not going to meet our requirements for notability. Unlike, say, Vijay Mallya or Aberystwyth‎ (subjects on which you have edited in the past), the DESU is simply not of international relevance or interest. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Max Mosley.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Max Mosley.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Former F1 team infoboxes
Hi Cdhaptomos. I notice you are adding Former F1 team infoboxes to several articles. Good work! But may I make a request to save some rework later - would you be able to insert a space between flagicons and the associated text (e.g. Craig Pollock rather than Craig Pollock), per WP:F1 standard practice? There's no need to go back and update the ones you've already done, but if you could do this for any future ones that would be good. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 17:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * On second thoughts, again in the interests of saving possible future rework, you might want to hold off on adding too many flags into the infoboxes - we have discussed the issue of flags in infoboxes a couple of times at WP:F1 (see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Formula_One/Archive_12 and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Formula_One/Archive_13) and there is some feeling that adding flags for all the people in F1 team infoboxes might contravene Mosflag. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 17:46, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:AFM.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:AFM.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:22, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Wikimania Oxford bid
Some time ago you indicated your support of the Oxford 2010 Wikimania Bid, and it was recieved with much gratitude. I now ask if you could could help support our bid by contributing to the bid page that is located at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids/Oxford. Now is the critical period for work to continue on the bid as the official bidding period has now started and the jury has been formed.

I do not ask for huge swathes of time, just enough that with eveyrone working on this, it can be completed in time to the high standard required in a bid. For the bid page, an excellent source of information is the travel wiki article on the City of Oxford which is found at: http://wikitravel.org/en/Oxford. The chance of bringing Wikimania to the UK is the best so far and i expect the best chance for many years. With a fresh and stong UK chapter we have an amazing opportunity to put ourselves on the map. If you have any questions, please mail them to the Wikimedia UK mailing list, email me or post a message on my talk page and i will answer as quickly as possible.

I look forward to working with you on the bid page. Many Thanks. Sedd&sigma;n talk 15:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

User:Cdhaptomos/Books
Hey there! I'm making a centralised "library" if you will of books that Wikipedians own; the idea is to give a single place of reference where users can go to find other users who might have texts on a subject they are writing about, rather than what we have at the moment (various users having books they own scattered around in places). Would you have any problem with me including your texts given here in the library? Ironholds (talk) 22:58, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I would have no problem at all. The list isn't fully up-to-date, so I'll try and do this ASAP and let you know when I have done.
 * You may also be interested in the WikiProject Motorsport library, which lists all books owned by various members on the subject of motorsport.
 * Please let me know where this list is: I am willing to help you, if you wish. Cdhaptomos   talk – contribs  09:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well it turns out the project existed before I had my bright idea; see Library. I'm just shoving all the books in there since it seems incredibly underused. Ironholds (talk) 09:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Webber
Hi

Thanks for doing that - my eyes were starting to go lol

just a couple of little things, I would have preferred if you had left the editorial notes in, they are there to point out to others who may have already edited. One of the ones you removed now says "stall" which means he would have stalled his engine and there is no way he would have been able to start the engine and be in 10th place at the first corner, so I have had to put that one back - it was simply there to remind the editors to change the wording after they had researched what happened, or to point out to the original editor that it may be wrong. Those hidden things aren't part of the GAR assessment as far as I am aware and are ok to leave in.

Please don't think I am in any way ungrateful for you reading it through, I am grateful, very !

cheers--Chaosdruid (talk) 12:48, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, I didn't see the point in leaving them in as I thought the problems has been resolved. I am still reading through (I'm at 2007 now), so I will be finished in a bit. Cdhaptomos   talk – contribs  12:54, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Heidfeld helmet 2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Heidfeld helmet 2009.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Two things, first, although I'm not hugely keen on your idea for the Portal, I have no major problems to you implementing it, though I would ask that you wait until it has gone through WP:FPOC, for stability's sake. Secondly, I noticed at WP:MII that you signed up to write 2008 Monaco Grand Prix. I would love to write the article to FA standard, starting this week. I think for your first GP article you would be better off writing something a little less epic. :) I made the mistake of making 2008 Belgian Grand Prix my first, and really didn't do a very good job. Would you mind if I took over responsibility for Monaco? Cheers, Aptery  gial  11:17, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
