The recent edit you made to London to Brighton Veteran Car Run constitutes vandalism, and has been reverted. Please do not continue to vandalize pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thanks. Scarian Call me Pat 23:22, 19 February 2008 (UTC)) - Well it was written by a chap called Eric Parsons but he died a few years ago. It was written for the magazine of Surrey Sporting Motor Club which has disbanded. I am the only person with the text on my computer because I was editor of the magazine and typed it up into a readable form. It contains a lot of interesting facts and I thought it worth airing for the benefit of others as the stuff that was currently on Wiki was very sketchy. There is nothing contentious and it adds some background info. Regards Geoff

Thanks for that. If copyright exists then as it was written for the Motor Club Magazine which no longer exists as it closed down and with me being chairman and editor at the time does that not mean I can grant use of the text. Geoff. Sabresix (talk) 08:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 00:49, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:
Where do I find that? Does this article have an owner that I can send a message to who edits it then? Regards Geoff —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sabresix (talk • contribs) 01:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Articles don't have owners buddy. But the article does have a talk page... On the article there is a discussion tab at the top that you can click and it brings you to a page where you can propose additions to the article. I recommend that you discuss your changes there first. Scarian Call me Pat  11:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Right thanks I'll have a look there. At least your tone of voice has retreated from calling me a vandal which I found very upsetting. I am a bit of a petrolhead and I know people who partake in that event and I marshal every year it is an enjoyable day so I just want to share the info I have. sabresix (talk) 17:50, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
