Welcome!
Hello, David Ptg, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Pol Espargaro did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

Writing your own commentary
As you will see above, Wikipedia requires published accounts as the basis of all content, not your own personal evaluation, as when you added two paragraphs in this change: "After weeks of rumours...", and "The reported reason for this signing was Mir's younger age compared to that of Esparagaró." You can't write a quote without the published detail accompanying.

Also note that certain words are to be avoided: "Espargaró had a strong start..." and "lackluster performance of his Honda RC213V" (you are blaming the bike) and "Espargaró's performances have only been enough for a few low points scoring finishes, so far." (summary evaluation). Has to be neutral point of view.

I'll leave it to you to return to correct the deficiencies as best you can; it's not easy or quick to become a Wikipedia writer, and it's important you learn the correct way early-on. Wikipedia is not a personal blog or forum. Pol is barely a top-ten rider, and is a serial crasher, either in practice or race. I'm not allowed to put that in, for reasons I hope I've explained. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 20:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

Marking edits as minor
Hi David Ptg! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Ralph Boschung that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. --Rocknrollmancer (talk) 20:35, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Also at Jack Aitken, James Baldwin (racing driver) and all other edits you made. Please do not mark any more changes as minor, whilst you are a newbie. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 20:37, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
