Hi, noticed your recent expansions of the triple crown in this table. As rough guide, don't include a statistic in an article simply because you can or because the statistic exists. Add it if it expands the understanding of a subject in a way that existing information does not do so already. A driver who has accomplished most of the criteria for a Triple Crown, is significant to the driver and could possible be included in the article on the driver, but it is not significant to explaining what the concept of the triple crown is in the endurance racing article. --Falcadore (talk) 02:30, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

OK, I guess I didn't fully understand the point of it then, or why some were listed and why some weren't. I didn't see any real pattern in it. A few entries were just factually wrong (missed Lehto's Le Mans win in 1995, Werner's 2006 LM win, etc) and then noticed that some were missing entirely - Tom Kristensen especially. What exactly was/is the criteria for picking and choosing specific entries? Duff 44 (talk) 02:49, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, I apologize if I didn't respond correctly to this, I'm still figuring out this chat/messaging thing. Duff 44 (talk) 02:50, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't think there is. If it was left off it just got missed, overlooked. It's not perfect. I removed Taylor and Collard because Daytona and Petit Le Mans only substitute for each other, not for any other leg of the Triple Crown. --Falcadore (talk) 03:31, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

No, it's four Australians. Australia was still called Australia when it was still a British colony, no reason why Bernard Rubin should not count. His victory in the All Japan GT series, his first major Sports Car title also deserves some recognition too don't you think? --Falcadore (talk) 03:29, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Wiki's own article lists Bernard Rubin as British. Depends on how you look at it I guess, not being a subject of the Crown I wouldn't know. Maybe a good clarification would be to list the other Aussies who have won right next to it (Rubin, Schuppan, Geoff Brabham)? I didn't even know he won an All Japan GT title until I looked it up 2 minutes ago! --Duff 44 (talk) 01:33, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
