Your editing tactics
I must admit, I find your prowess with citing Wikipedia policy/rules quite incredible. However, your tactics leave quite a lot to be desired. Deleting entire contributions from others who aren't as knowledgeable about Wikipedia policy, while citing policy, without constructive criticism, is combative and against the spirit of the fifth and fourth pillars of Wikipedia (WP:FIVE). Latching onto my personal point of view (which I disclosed up front in good faith) while continuously bringing up every misstep on my part, shows bad faith in constructively building consensus on what should be on the page and how it should be presented WP:CONS. Cursing at me and telling me to go away on IRC was very much against the principle of welcoming others to wikipedia WP:NICE. It almost looked as if you were gaming the system to subvert the process of building Wikipedia through teamwork WP:GAME.

So if there is a principle that if a rule prevents one from improving wikipedia, we should ignore it WP:IAR, why would you set yourself up as the supreme dictator of a page, citing rigid application of policy for the exclusion of material, while there are mechanisms to improve the quantity as well as the quality of the material?

Basically, I think what you've been doing is policy shopping. WP:SHOP (The example given seems awfully familiar...) In the end, you finally reverted to the I Don't Like It policy. WP:IDL

As a lay-editor, I have many contributions to Wikipedia, but I usually am in pursuit of other interests, so I don't keep really fresh on Wikipedia policy. However, I sometimes catch typos, vandalism, or other problems on pages as I use Wikipedia. Further, I try to be constructive when I think something encyclopedic should be added to it. You nearly soured me on Wikipedia, costing the project the benefit of my contributions. I'd suggest you read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People before you go off on your next wikipedian smackdown. And work on refuting the central point or helping the other guy make his, instead of quibbling over policy.Aaronchall (talk) 09:59, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Demanding References
Youself and Falcadore keep demanding "references", yet a lot of this page has no references when it was originally written, so the initial writer (by the look of it falcafore anyway)never proved a lot of what they originally wrote. You removed the statement that David John has had his bankruptcy annulled, as you are unable to post links to the actual page at the insolvency service, you will have to look it up, I suggest you prove he is bankrupt, because by deleting my revision you are stating that he is still bankrupt, which is infact incorrect, he has been granted an annullment, you have now made a statement that is factual incorrect. I note that my statements to yourself and falcadore declaring that I actually have the knowledge because of my position (rather than taking things from internet forums and rumour) have been deleted, I assume this is to remove the possibility that anyone might question the validity of yours or falcadores knowlegdge. Falcadore made a statement in the MW Motorsport page that MW Motorsport are running Matthew Hamilton in a TKR sponsored car, he did not reference this, in fact if you look at MW motorsports website they DO NOT list Matthew as one of there drivers. I suggest you take a long hard look at what is really going on before you have a go at me again.

I was a director of the company! Falcadore even updated the page to state I was last year! I had in my message pointed this out and also mentioned that I am still contracted to the comapany as an advisor! This was deleted by someone. You can't post a link to the actual page at the insolvency service that shows it because it won't allow you. The media in NZ has not reported the story of his annullment because to quote Shaun Summerfield of TV3, "it's not Newsworthy". David John is NOT bankrupt, you have been advised he is not and you keep removing the statement that he is not, I will happily send you a screen dump from the insolvency service to satisfy you if you want to supply an email address (although the time you took writing to me you could have looked it up and verified it)If we are saying that wikipedia needs to be verified solely through the media then we have a problem, particuarly when it comes to NZ motorsport —Preceding unsigned comment added by Porsche911guy (talk • contribs) 23:57, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

North Korean invasion
Hey 359,

I saw you deleted an edit to the 2010 Formula One season page about the Korean Grand Prix being put off because of an invasion by the North as you could not see the reference. The reference itself does actually contain a direct quote from Bernie Ecclestone saying that the only thing that can stop the race is an invasion, even though the article is primarily about Austin. The quote came at the end of the article. That said, I can see why you deleted it on the grounds of there being a dozen other reasons why it might be called off. I just thought you might be interested to know - it wasn't an attempt to pass off an illegitimate edit with an irrelevant source. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 09:17, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Marussia Virgin
Hey 359,

I've moved Marussia Virgin up in the teams table on the 2011 Formula One season page. This reference - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/formula_one/9178539.stm - makes it pretty clear that Marussia now own a controlling stake in the team. They're not title sponsors; Virgin are. We list Williams under 'W' for 'Williams', not 'A' for 'AT&T Williams', so I figure we should list Marussia under 'M' insteand of 'V'.

Regarding your petulant behavior.
I notice you're not an administrator, so you can't block me, nor do you have any power whatsoever to back up your "warning" which was really an insult combined with an assumption of bad faith. It seems that you think you "own" the Like a G6 article, so obviously, I'm not going to edit it or its talk page anymore because I don't want to deal with people like you. I'll be very clear: Leave me alone. I am not taking your bait, nor am I interested in what you think or how you feel. PBF1974 (talk) 20:06, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk pages
Your recent talk page edit is not only unnecessary and uncivil, it is also unhelpful. Attacking other editors, even if you are in discussion with them or refraining from foul language in your insulting, condescending spiels, will not be tolerated. Anyone who feels sincere offense at any of my edit summaries should, in the immortal words of Michelle Malkin, "grow a pair". With all due seriousness, I can't find a single edit summary of mine that does not describe the reasoning behind said edit (and if you so desperately need to see the edit itself, that's what diffs are for), and the only remotely inflammatory summary - besides a vandal revert - was suggesting that those who have sub-mediocre English abilities find a better, more productive use of their time (such as, perhaps, editing their native tongue's Wikipedia) than drag down the already rather-slipshod quality of the en project.

The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It was Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and was Glock's first podium finish.

The majority of the race consisted of a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship rivals began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a lead of over 20 seconds over Kovalainen. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing the McLaren driver to win. Räikkönen set the race's fastest lap in the other Ferrari, but was hampered by a poor qualifying performance and was stuck behind Alonso and Glock in turn for almost all of the race.

As a consequence of the race result, Hamilton extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to five points over Räikkönen, with Massa a further three behind. Robert Kubica, who finished eighth after finding his BMW Sauber car to be uncompetitive at the Hungaroring, slipped to 13 points behind Hamilton, ahead of his team-mate Nick Heidfeld and Kovalainen. In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren vaulted BMW Sauber for second position, 11 points behind Ferrari.

Marc VDS, Sachsenring
Hey, Matt. Quick query for you, seeing as I never actually saw the race but... is this not how Hennerici/Leinders exited the race on lap one? The spotter guide that I have shows that car 40 has yellow mirrors and although not clear on the video, they seem a lot lighter than the black mirrors of the sister car. Wanted to question first. Cs-wolves (talk)  18:37, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't sweat it, man. You've corrected many of my slight mistakes regarding GT1, so we're all entitled to a little faux pas like that. I had forgotten about the media site because I usually use that Blancpain reports hidden within live timing. Besides, that first corner incident was somewhat minor compared to the one in the GT Masters race today. Cs-wolves  (talk)  19:12, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's a bummer. I much preferred the streaming last year, rather than it going to Dailymotion this year. Very disappointed in that. How come it has just suddenly stopped after a couple of rounds? A few of the other FIA series could learn from the SRO with the publically-viewable, unlocked media site so many folk can understand why a particular driver exited the race.

Re:FIA GT1 query
I'm struggling to find a cause for it myself. Looking at the media site, there does seem to be a bit of misplacement on the points, notably with Michaël Rossi's points being in two separate rows from his actual row on 17 points. Can't find anything relating to the teams' championship on the Marc VDS page, so I'm at a bit of a loose end.

 * Well, I'm completely flummoxed. Beijing preview has 112 points for Marc VDS, but I imagine it's just an error on SRO's part. I suppose when the San Luis preview comes out – that said, it won't feel right to have this go unresolved until November! – we can put it to rest. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

 * Yeah, I noticed that tally on the FIA website...I suppose the only option to get an immediate clarification about it, would be to email somebody at SRO. I'm just thinking out aloud with that one, because there's no guarantee of getting a positive response from there, as the person that you'd be emailing may not even know if it is a mistake or not. Although from past experience of looking at the GT3 site, there are a lot of errors that are eventually clarified, so we may have just picked up on a person's mistake at SRO and they just haven't realised yet!

Turns out it was an SRO error after all. Back to the 124 tally as we suggested, and amended in the season article while I was sticking the San Luis Q-Race result in. Craig (talk)  18:35, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, the GT1 site has been having a mind of its own this weekend. I've still got the Blancpain timing link up, so I'll have a look at the PDF file when that pops up. I think the results are final but I do remember hearing that one of the Sumo Nissans (think it was the Catsburg car) was under investigation for a first lap incident.
 * It wasn't until after yesterday's race that I noticed it; soon as it said 124, checked the media site and the points were there. I'll get the points up after I've had a bite to eat. Shouldn't be more than an hour to eat and complete the table! Craig  (talk)  18:23, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

2012 24 Hours of Le Mans
I think that you make a mistake on automatic selection. Could you check the sporting regulations 2011 ? link

ALMS
I thought Lux should have lost, but the first ALMS post race release did not break the tie. Guess they are across the board slow clarifying their results. --Falcadore (talk) 08:57, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for correcting my edit at Petit Le Mans. I had misread the article, probably because it talked about the WEC following an article about Petit Le Mans, but it was addressing Sebring. And thanks for all you do on racing articles. 72Dino (talk) 17:33, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

Caterham change
I believe that User:Vvipkho's changes to the Lotus/Caterham pages were correct in light of today's rebranding of the team. I have brought the matter up at Talk:Team Lotus (current) for people to discuss. Regards - mspete  93  13:35, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

GT/WEC pages
You do what you think is best - but I do believe having the tables are important, and will have to be included sooner or later. It's much easier to find that information visually. So maybe a combination of table and prose rather than table and bullet points will work best. I might go in and tinker with the wording once you're done (I found some of the wording on the GT page in particular to be awkward, especially with the team entires), but I won't change anything back.

HPD ARX-03
Got me. Is there a "Failboat Barnstar?"
