DAMS GD-01
I gave DAMS GD-01 a review as promised. I find these stories pretty sad, but it looks like the project was doomed at almost every stage! Pity you missed out on DYK with it. I should be able to get to Forti in a couple of weeks, after my last exams. Aptery gial  07:28, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

 * No problem. I left it to the last minute mind you, which was rather stupid of myself. Hence why I seemed to rush through the NW to get to /200911. Yeah, I'll give it a go. Cs-wolves  (talk)  20:06, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

 * A further query...December newsletter - should we do the same as last year and send it out December 31, or leave it as is for 4 January? Cs-wolves  (talk)  01:08, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You do the subbing templates, I'll send it out during the day. It won't be a rushed job like last month! ;) Cs-wolves  (talk)  03:11, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and we've got an AfD up on the Oliver Webb article for non-notability. Cs-wolves  (talk)  03:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: MII status template etc.
Nope, no problem. That page looks suspiciously like you have some really insane idea going on. I removed 2007 Australian Grand Prix from the portal, and I should be able to get to the 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix PR in a few hours. Aptery gial  22:56, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

1995 British Grand Prix
Hello. I have begun the GA review of this article and left some comments. I really like the article. I have been quite pedantic in my review, and there might seem to be a lot of points, but most of them are very minor.--Sarastro1 (talk) 01:14, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of 1995 British Grand Prix
The article you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold.

Talk archive navigation thingy
Kudos for finding such a nifty tool to go between the archives. On a complete tangent from that, you know how we have the GP2 Series drivers category, which incorporate both the main series and the Asia series...I was thinking about splitting them into two different categories but I wanted to ask you, mainly because it was you that stuck the note on it. So yeah! Cs-wolves (talk)  22:06, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I apologise for the lazy heading, I just couldn't think of anything else to describe it! Haha, glad to see we all have our lazy moments at one point! Ah good. Don't know if I'll do it right now, due to the Super Bowl but I'll probably get to it at somepoint. Timely reminder then, especially with the resurgence of DPR this past weekend. Cs-wolves  (talk)  22:41, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know that the category has been split, with 88 in the main category and 74 in the Asia category. Cs-wolves  (talk)  19:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm not
I'm not active really. I said I would still upload images and I seem to have become the only editor to do anything on the testing section and the images they uploaded were rubbish, I mean come on actually get the front. Sorry for not adding the images to the newsletter, sorry. Haven't signed in ages Chubb  enna  itor  22:36, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Possible Image
There is an image which can be used to show the taunts at Hamilton in Spain from this year. IMG_4444.jpg is the image in hand. Is it suitable or not? Chubb enna  itor  19:20, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

F3000 result boxes
User:Cybervoron is removing the chassis and tyre fields for most F3000 drivers' result boxes. I know that your reference page has them with those fields, so is it a big deal that he is removing them? I'm not too sure myself. Regards. Cs-wolves (talk)  19:26, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Seems to be just the recent ones so far. Enge is the farthest one back to 1998 I believe, that has been edited. Cs-wolves  (talk)  19:31, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: Chandhok
Yep, I am that. My initial concern was the wording of the F1 website's practice report which was "As expected, Karun Chandhok’s car wasn’t ready for the final session but may be out for qualifying.", so I had to look into it and check the regulations. Sure enough, it came up trumps! Might have to reference the regs on the Grand Prix page, in case people get confused as to why Chandhok is still in the weekend!

Sauber merge
Do you think there's enough support for the Sauber merger now? It's very much a case of the 'established' F1 editors supporting it, and the rest opposing it, simply because "they are different teams and should have different articles", without realising that this case is a bit different. There are calls to merge Footwork/Arrows and Leyton House/March, but I know very little/nothing about these cases so I can't possibly comment. As for Sauber, I'm happy to do the merge, but I don't have the time to change all the links. I'm not saying you will either, it's just that the work will need to be shared around. Thanks - mspete  93  23:28, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
 * You're probably right about them changing the name. They'll probably have to sell the team Brawn-style once they use up the BMW money. Yeah I'm not worried about changing links, I just know that certain users are. - mspete  93  09:12, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I'm stupidly busy with coursework at the moment (which explains my delay in responding), but I can make a start from next Thursday. - mspete  93  18:49, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine by me. I'll have a look at it during the GP tomorrow morning, unless it provides gripping entertainment. :P - mspete  93  19:57, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I managed to do some last evening at User:MotorsportPete93/Sandbox2. I see you are working on BMW in Formula One. I have one concern regarding the closing of the discussion, particularly as we've had an oppose this morning. I don't know that I can just say that we've decided to merge, particularly as I started the discussion. - mspete  93  09:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello again. How close are you to completing BMW in Formula One? I don't want to merge the two yet without BMW in Formula One being available for those who want it. - mspete  93  17:13, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * That's OK. Not much you can do about that really. I know how it feels trying to squeeze Wikipedia around other commitments. Constant coursework has turned into constant revision for me. If you have got any editing time in the meantime it would be nice if it could be finished in a basic form so that the merge can go ahead. I can then work on expanding the Williams and Sauber sections until you can fully finish it. I'm not sure I have the knowledge to do the Williams section myself from scratch though. An alternative could be to create the article in a very brief form, outlining their history in F1, before moving your version in at a later date. Alternatively, I can just be patient! Your call really. It all looks really good at the moment though. - mspete  93  19:18, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

Update: A user has now moved BMW Sauber to BMW in Formula One. I had a feeling this would happen, and to be totally honest, you can't really blame them. I'll complete the Sauber merge now, and then work on that version of BMW in F1 to get the basics across, and you can merge your version in at a later stage. Thanks - mspete  93  10:05, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've merged the articles and created an overview at BMW in Formula One, using your drafted intro as a guide. If you could add the results table and then expand on it over time. I don't want to undo your hard work by expanding on it myself too much. What I can do is do the bits you haven't done yet - Williams and Sauber - and then you can add the older bits when you're ready. No rush for that though. - mspete  93  12:27, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Re:2008 Hungarian Grand Prix
Yes, I do. If I was you I'd just do a quick prose run-through; the benefit of not having studied it for several months should mean you spot any mistakes/flow issues. It should also acquaint you well enough with the article that you can answer questions at FAC. I think it's pretty solid, and I'll help where I can, but uni's pretty hectic at the moment and it depends on when I can get away. Good luck, Aptery  gial  22:52, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:AUTOCOURSE 2000 cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:AUTOCOURSE 2000 cover.jpg.

Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:08, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
