Wikifying

[edit]

Hi. I noticed you keep add various links about to the same article in Indianapolis 500. It really isn't necessary to have links to Jim Clark, or Al Unser, or Bill Vukovich, or Roger Penske more than once in the same page. Some of these had three or four links in the Indy page, which I've removed. I've also removed all those flags from the Indy article. The flags were designed for use in tables, not in the middle of text. --Pc13 15:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"==" is used for create headers in a page. They're more like different chapters in the same page. I agree, the Indy 500 article is becoming increasingly bulky. When I originally expanded the article I tried to avoid being specific about years and drivers, and preferred to point out defining events in the history of the Indy 500. Then other people started adding trivia and lists. Some of these have been spun into their own pages, and right now I believe the same should happen to the "Year by year" section. It would probably be good to create Indianapolis 500 history, and transfer the "Year by year" to it. Flags in the middle of the text are not a good idea, visually wise. Besides, not all flags are instantly recognizable. If people want to know the drivers' nationality, they can simply click on the link, it's mentioned in their articles. --Pc13 17:43, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Star Tiger source

[edit]

Hello! I noticed you added a section on the Star Tiger to Bermuda Triangle. However, you didn't add any additional sources. Could you please somehow indicate what sources you used? Thanks! --AySz88^-^ 16:36, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

co-winner

[edit]

Hi. I noticed that you recorded Corum as a "co-winner". I'm not sure that this is necessary. Members of a team are usually all referred to as winners, while people who tie are usually co-winners. For example, Ben Roethlisberger is a winner of Super Bowl XL, as is Jerrome Bettis, but Peyton Manning and Steve McNair are co-winners of the 2003 NFL MVP award. --Brian G 03:25, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, but I've known necessity in the modern racing world to explain the nature of the 500, wherein the car is winning entry, rather than, necessarily, the driver. If one starts and the other finishes the race, they would be co-winners...instead of just one or the other, and then edits coming in due to people thinking they know the "true winner, instead of this being incorrect," etc. A lot of that could be possible on wikipedia, at least so far as I've seen on several pages. --Chr.K. 06:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That context helps some, thanks. I thought that I had addressed it in the body of the article (if that stub I created can be called a body), but I can see how your note makes it more clear than I had done. To be consistent, do you want to make any similar changes to Joe Boyer, Floyd Davis and Mauri Rose? --Brian G 13:41, 16 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hope Diamond

[edit]

Hey, I wanted to discuss your adding of the Hope Diamond to the project. I was working on a list of "what isn't under the scope of the project", and curses were one of the things I was planning on adding. While I understand that the circumstances of a curse could be considered paranormal, the usage of the word is so wide as to suggest the inclusion of some stuff that more clearly doesn't seem like our department, like the Curse of the Billy Goat or the Curse of the Bambino. What do you think? --InShaneee 16:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discount the phenomina of curses at all; I'm simply saying that the modern usage has become synonimous with Bad Luck, and thus it can make objectively deciding when a curse is truly paranormal extremely difficult. Was the Curse of the Bambino a curse? If not, how do we explain our criteria for inclusion in the project? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the topic of curses has little coverage on wikipedia (perhaps due to a lack of recognition), hence why I think we should hesitate before trying to include them. --InShaneee 18:17, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And also, there's the issue of whether it would be more suited to our sister project, Wikipedia:WikiProject Occult, instead. --InShaneee 18:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That still brings us to the original problem of articles such as Curse of the Bambino. And while I considered bringing this to the Project, that smacks of original research (having us, the editors, decide which curses are 'real'). Curse itself sounds like a good addition, though, barring my second comment above. While I'm thinking about it, too, love the Eerie, Indiana quote on your userpage. :) --InShaneee 18:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I just don't see it as being that simple. For example, if you look at this section, people did treat the Curse of the Bambino as a real curse, and that is verifiable. So here, we're getting down into some real dirty, ugly semantics. Do you see what I'm getting at? --InShaneee 21:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I guess. Curse doesn't go so far as to detail effects/scope. --InShaneee 22:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On a different note, thanks for helping me finish classing the unassessed Paranormal articles. I was beginning to think I'd have to do all 465 myself! :) --InShaneee 15:13, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the first time I've got that complaint, either. I've kind of been ignoring them for the most part, simply because I figure that once we get a large number of members, we'll want to create some subProjects, and they very first one on the list will be WikiProject Cryptozoology. But until there's enough people to handle that, it's really best if we be the hub for it. --InShaneee 15:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with that is simply a practical one. While WikiProject Parapsychology seems like a logical division, we wouldn't have enough editors to get it started. Even WP:PARA right now is very much an infant project (compare to the 400+ member WP:MILHIST). A Wikiproject needs a large amount of support to be founded and continue functioning, and right now, we've barely got that. I'm sure it will exist in the future (as a matter of fact, as soon as this business of the new icon gets cleared up, I'm going on a canvassing run for new members), but until then, it's really best to keep the topics where the interest is. When we start getting large, this should be brought up again, although even then, I'm going to suggest that perhaps a Taskforce structure like in WP:MILHIST might be more prudent. --InShaneee 15:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As I said, without a large body of support, WikiProjects by logical division will simply fail. Best to keep subjects together in a large lump, then split off as subcats become sustainable. For example, WP:PARA was essentially inactive when I found it. It's logical structure was completely correct, but it had little to no editorial support. --InShaneee 15:47, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's true. All of the complaints I've recieved have been placated once it was pointed out that we aren't claiming these things as paranormal, we're simply taking care of Cryptozoology articles as part of our project's scope. Besides, better to have an imperfect name than several largely unsupported projects. --InShaneee 15:59, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I created a Wiki Category

The Original Barnstar
I award you this barnstar for your excellent contributions to Wikipedia:WikiProject Paranormal and for your work towards assessing unrated articles within the project.

POGO 22, et al

[edit]

I haven't been able to get anything more than the newspapers in question, and even then this is limited to old copies of the Washington Post, New York Times, and Atlanta Constitution. I have not been able to get a copy of the report from the Air Force Historical Society (I believe they would supply it) as of yet. It does get frustrating when dealing with a governmental entity.

Taskforce You May Be Interested In

[edit]

Hi Chr.k.,

From seeing one of your userboxes, which states that you are interested in the Salem Witch Trials, you may want to join a new task force another Wikipedian, Cocoaguy, and I created which is devoted to the Trials: Salem Witch Trials task force.

So please check it out.

Thanks,

Invitation to EVP

[edit]

I'm inviting you to offer your perspective on the EVP article and to join us in making that article one of the 'good articles' here at Wikipedia. Right now we are working on the lead or opening. My thoughts are to bring consensus for the article top - down (starting with the opening as that sumarizes the article and topic). I'm interested in any editors from ProjectParanormal who would like to join in as a group effort to improve this article. Your involvement with this group; I recently found due to EVP and joined; would help in organizing members towards the positive goal of improving this article. The article needs some help especially with structure - grammar - references - and overall neutrality. --Northmeister 13:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure that the article belongs in WP:AOWR? Lots of types of vehicles raced on board tracks. I have not reverted your adding the article to the WikiProject, but I request that you explain the genre's relevance to American Open Wheel racing on the article's talk page. Royalbroil 00:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to the board track racing make it clear why it should be part of WP:AOWR. I worked on the article a few days ago. I'm about ready to start an article on Eddie Hasha in my sandbox. His death was very influential in the decline of board tracks. Please watch for any references to him in your research. I have two solid sources right now: the front page article about the accident in the New York Times, and one of the references in the Board track racing article. I hope to make a Did You Know article on Hasha. Royalbroil 01:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Sorry I if I screwed up and caused you an edit conflict by editing WT:AOWR. I'll wait until you're done. Royalbroil 14:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Template:American Open Wheel driver results legend requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 04:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems this template isn't actually transcluded anywhere. From what I can tell, it's just a key or legend. Would you have any objection to moving it to a subpage of the American Open Wheel Racing WikiProject? Seems more appropriate to have it the Wikipedia: namespace rather than the Template: namespace if it isn't going to be used as a template. --MZMcBride (talk) 20:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

American Open Wheel results key template

[edit]

Hi Chr.K. I notice you've updated a couple of links to the American Open Wheel results key template. Can I ask you to hold off doing any more for the moment? I think the existing links are correct and that the template shouldn't have been moved from the Template space into the WikiProject space. I'll raise the issue for discussion at WP:AOWR. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 10:58, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mario Andretti

[edit]

Hi

Sorry to be a pain, but we are currently rewriting the page due to it being listed for demotion and I am not sure if the edits you have made are correct.

The section you edited was trying to show that there were only 2 drivers who have won those particular 4 championships, so can you please clarify for me if these are the same championships :-

...IndyCar (USAC), ...

and

IndyCar, ... it sort of imples that there is another racing series that is non-USAC, and not being an avid watcher of Indycar (except when Fittipaldi was around) I am not sure if this is an important difference in the text.

thanks for your time---Chaosdruid (talk) 00:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mario Andretti

[edit]

Hi

Thanks for your reply, I found it very informative and interesting !

It is strange how these things go, I wonder if that will be the same fate for F1 v A1. I asked as the references would have to be changed if we were to link it to any of the results pages and I needed to ensure that any searches I or others did would definitely get the right section for the reference. I find it bizarre that after 30 years there should still be argument going on at that sort of level, but I suppose with the Andretti family spanning so many generations of US racing history it would affect them more than others. Do you think there is a need to include some or any of your wonderful prose in the article? I am sure that perhaps some should be included as he was one of the drivers in the third season of CART racing and, at the time, it must have been complicated for him and his son in 1989 with his earlier career in the USAC.

Anyway, thanks for the information ! Should we quote USAC alongside the early victoreis and CART for the later ones ?

Many thanks--Chaosdruid (talk) 20:25, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Andretti

[edit]

Hi

Don't worry about it, as long as we get it right it doesn't matter how long it takes really. The article got through the GAR review, and passed - Woohoo ! so no rush.

Thanks for replying and hope to read it soon on the page

cheers--Chaosdruid (talk) 10:12, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA review for A. J. Foyt IV

[edit]

It looks like you did lots of work improving the article to GA standards. So you know, it's needs minimal improvement to retain GA status. Are you planning to work on it, or should I? Royalbroil 20:52, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Winners list

[edit]

Over at List of American Championship Car winners, I reverted your edit (adding the placements 1,2,3,4..) because when I hit the sortkeys at the top, the table absolutely exploded. A sortable table won't work with shared cels. It looked like a lot of work, and I hated to do it, but it just had to be done. Doctorindy (talk) 15:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Spaceflight portals

[edit]

Hello! As an member editor of one or more of the Spaceflight, Human spaceflight, Unmanned spaceflight, Timeline of spaceflight or Space colonisation WikiProjects, I'd like to draw to your attention a proposal I have made with regards to the future of the spaceflight-related portals, which can be found at Portal talk:Spaceflight#Portal merge. I'd very much appreciate any suggestions or feedback you'd be able to offer! Many thanks,

WikiProject activity

[edit]

Hello there! As part of an experiment to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, I have made some changes to the list of members of WikiProject Unmanned spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, I would be grateful if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the critical mass of editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance.

WikiProject Spaceflight reboot

Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, a recent discussion on the future of the Space-related WikiProjects has concluded, leading to the abolition of WP:SPACE and leading to a major reorganisation of WP:SPACEFLIGHT. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in the various ongoing discussions at the reorganisation page and the WikiProject Spaceflight talk page. If you are a member of one of WP:SPACEFLIGHT's child projects but not WP:SPACEFLIGHT itself, it would also be very useful if you could please add your name to the member list here. Many thanks!

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

[edit]

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 02:47, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
