2012 Spanish Grand Prix
Hi Ibicdlcod,

I've reverted your edits to the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix - where you gave a note explaining the positions of drivers who failed to set a lap time - for two reasons:

1) Firstly, it's better-suited to the report section of the article. Tables are only intended to compliment an article; they are not meant to be the article. Once the qualifying report is written up, it will explain the reasons why Vettel, Schumacher and Koabayshi qualified the way they did. That is the best place for it. I don't know who wrote it, but the wording of the note also needs work; it is nowhere near encyclopaedic enough for inclusion.

2) You point to the 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix page as an example of things being explained. Because of the highly-public nature of the race and the protests surrounding it, that article was written with a level of detail that is not often seen on the Formula 1 pages. It was intended that, once finished, the article would be submitted for Feature Article status. It also has references explaining the changes in position; the Spanish GP article does not.

 * I just noticed your edit over at the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix. I thought I'd leave a message to say that's a good edit. It shows consistency between the race report articles, even if one is for a race held six years ago. Nobody else spotted that, so good work. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 05:12, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Correcting other's spelling
Sorry about the warning template. It really is not a good idea to correct other's spelling in talk pages. Do feel free to add a note as to the correct spelling if you wish. Happy editing! Jim1138 (talk) 01:01, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Template:User en-2.5, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you. —  Jeff G. ツ (talk)   01:29, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Question: is it acceptable to directly create/publish biographical entries (without submitting for discussion/approval) in the following cases:
 * the new entry is an English version of an existing (other lang) entry
 * the new entry is about a winner/runner up of a major sporting event (world/continental championships), stating just the basic bio information

Separately, I have first submitted for review a new entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Szafranpl/Zbigniew_Nieradka), later decided to publish it's content outright (it is an EN version of an existing PL entry). Should I (and how) withdraw my review request? Szafranpl (talk) 13:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of U:I/FW


A tag has been placed on U:I/FW requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, or user talk page from the article space.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag.

Your edit to Category:Taiwanese Wikipedians
Would you consider self-reverting this edit? I don't think you can safely assume that most Taiwanese Wikipedians would self-identify as Chinese as well. wctaiwan (talk) 13:20, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Criticism of Wikipedia
You commented in the RfD discussion about Criticism of Wikipedia at Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 August 5. That discussion was closed as "moot" due it having been unilaterally converted to an article during the discussion. I chose to boldly implement the apparent consensus of that discussion and the previous discussions linked from it, and reverted it to a disambiguation page. That action has been reverted due to a perceived lack of discussion. I would welcome your comments at Talk:Criticism of Wikipedia to see if consensus can be reached again for an dab page, article or redirect. Thryduulf (talk) 00:38, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

The nonsense speedy deletion criteria doesn't apply to this essay because it is possible to determine what is being said (though it may take a few attempts). It clearly attempts to demonstrate an important point using humour. -- Mrmatiko (talk) 13:50, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
