Stop copying rumours on Ten-tenths and presenting it as actual news. That sort of behaviour is not permitted on Wikipedia. --Falcadore (talk) 22:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Nothing has changed since this page was previously deleted. No speculations. This sort of guesswork is specifically against Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia is a collection of facts only. This page should not be created until V8 Supercars Australia announced its 2009 calendar. And when it is only confirmed drivers can be listed against teams. --Falcadore (talk) 19:39, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

HRT 4 Cars
Please re-read the language you have used, the sentences don't make sense. Also, 'believed' does not cut it. 'Believed' means it is speculation and not necessarily true and it will be removed. HRT have confirmed a third licence for Dumbrell some time ago. Essentially someone from HRT has to definately state, we have four licences. Also link three does not work, it leads to http://www.v8supercars.com.au/conten...cars_for_2009/ - which is a Error 404, file not found. Fix it please, because right now it will have to be deleted/reverted. --Falcadore (talk) 06:03, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I see what you did now, you copy and pasted the link directly from ten-tenths.com, having failed to notice that ten-tenths.com shortcut the link for display purposes, rendering the link in wikipedia broken. I deleted the edit anyway as you can see from V8 Supercar Australia's subsequent revision of the story, there is no 31st franchise. Also, there was nowhere in the relevant links of HRT announcing they have won their fourth franchise, indeed the revised story has the franchise being on the market and not yet acquired by HRT so it could still be purchased by another team.
 * One thing you need to understand is that Wikipedia is defintely not a news service, but an encyclopedia. There is no need to get the information into wikipedia as quickly as possible, no need to beat other websites to be first with the news, what the information does have to be is confirmed and correct. Not rumoured, not believed, not possible or probable, but confirmed. The team stating directly 'this is what we are doing'. If you cannot grasp this then I suggest perhaps wikipedia is not for you. Several drivers have yet to be confirmed by their teams, Will Davison, Steven Johnson, Jack Perkins, Jason Richards all are very likely starters in certain teams, but the teams concerned have not yet confirmed. James Courtney is almost daily denying in the media the identity of his 2009 team. They can all be added when the team confirms it, and not before. --Falcadore (talk) 22:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Dates
Test dates confirmed.

Also, has it been confirmed that Todd Kelly will keep #7? While it works well with Jack Daniels sponsorship, the #7 franchise does belong to Larry Perkins, not to John Kelly. Unless its been confirmed there will be a number swap Perkins should stay 7/11 and Kelly Racing 15/16. --Falcadore (talk) 00:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. --Falcadore (talk) 03:00, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Look, I know we have a negative history, and on ten-tenths I've been quite rude, but this is not ten-tenths. Please, do not add unverified speculations, it is completely against wikipedia policy. And please do not be adding the endurance race co-drivers (also unverified I note) in January, well over a month before the first race, and well before the final, confirmed, line-up of drivers is announced. Please, some professionalism would be appreciated. --Falcadore (talk) 03:15, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Test editting
If you are going to make edits that require a lot of look and test, first, please please please us the PREVIEW and don't save it each time, and secondly, for major fiddling copy it to a sandbox page and get it right there before you put it onto the main page. For you a sandbox page would appear here.

That having been said, please don't overcomplicate the driver chart. Sponsors can be linked from the various team pages rather than any racing page. Series sponsors are much more important to be linked from the series page than indvidual team pages. --Falcadore (talk) 22:13, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Jack Perkins
All I want for Jack Perkins to be added is a source to a team announcement. A space on a list on V8 Supercars website is still just speculation, allbeit official speculation. But without that announcement, don't bother trying to add it. Also, Jack Perkins links to an American journalist, so please at least link to the correct page, Jack Perkins (racing driver).

And if you actually participated in the editorial process, that would be appreciated to. --Falcadore (talk) 04:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
