Jim Clark

Thanks for your additions to this article. There seems to be a spelling error (only one 'n' in finesse) and a missing word (should be 'caressed it into doing'?). Could you check against your source and, if I am right, correct the quote. Could you also add a reference to the quote - see WP:REF for the guidance and articles like Brabham BT19 for a practical demo. Many thanks. 4u1e (talk) 12:16, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Sebring International Raceway 1967-1982.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Sebring International Raceway 1967-1982.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Peripitus (Talk) 12:11, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

1970 1000km of Brands Hatch

Hello Hmdwgf, I just thought I'd let you know that I saw your article 1970 1000km of Brands Hatch in the New Articles list-- The layout of the article makes it very clear.However, I think the article seems to contain a few errors: the references in the article do not follow Wikipedia guidelines. There is a tutorial on formatting citations at Wikipedia:Referencing.It would be great if you could also improve the related article Chevron Cars.

And have a beautiful day! Cheers, Amy Z (talk) 03:41, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Request for an Interview

Hi Hmdwgf,

I recently sent you a message about 1970 1000km of Brands Hatch.

I am a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University examining how to make interaction in Wikipedia more effective. Our research has shown that certain types of feedback encourage Wikipedians to edit more while others seem to discourage them. Experienced and less experienced Wikipedians seem to have different reactions to very similar feedback. I am interested in interviewing you about your reaction to the message I sent you. A discussion with you will help us better understand the types of feedback that can encourage newcomers's participation to Wikipedia without turning off old-timers.

I can talk with you via online chat, on Skype, over the phone, or just through Wikipedia messages if you are more comfortable with that. The interview should take take less than 60 minutes. You do need to be over 18 years old, and consent to be a part of the study in order to for me to interview you. This study has been approved by Carnegie Mellon's research ethics committee (the IRB), and the Wikipedia Research Committee.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. We will be glad to send you a draft describing our research results right after the interview.

Michael Corleone

Please refrain from making unconstructive revisions to Wikipedia, as you did last night – Michael Corleone – your most recent editing would appear to constitute possible vandalism and has been reverted.

I am sorry for causing any problems, but have you even seen any of those films? --Hmdwgf (talk) 17:12, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
No trouble at all, my friend (I hope) – and yes, I have, each one, four or five times after seeing them in the cinema. I have the 25th anniversary box-set on good old-fashioned video tape. All the best! Kind regards, -- Gareth Griffith-Jones (GG-J's Talk page) 17:37, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

On vandalism, crystal balling and AGF

Hmdwgf,

If you're going to accuse someone of improper editing practices, then I suggest that you actually familiarise yourself with the practices you are accusing them of.

Firstly, you suggested that I was making speculative edits. If you read the policy on speculative edits, you will see the following:

All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred.

The edits that I made are supported by four separate reliable sources - 1, 2, 3 and 4 - with the only difference being that the edits were made to temapltes, which do not use sources the way articles do.

Secondly, you suggested that my edits were vandalism, simply because I am a long-term editor should have known that they were speculative. However, if you look at the policy on vandalism, you will not the following:

Vandalism is any addition, removal, or change of content in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Examples of typical vandalism are adding irrelevant obscenities and crude humor to a page, illegitimately blanking pages, and inserting obvious nonsense into a page.

Given that I have made the edits with four separate reliable sources in mind, and that I have been a long-term editor (who mostly sticks to editing pages rlated to the content I was adding), there was obviously no malicious intent. I suggest you familiarise yourself with assuming good faith, particularly this part:

It is the assumption that editors' edits and comments are made in good faith. Most people try to help the project, not hurt it [...] editors should not attribute the actions being criticized to malice unless there is specific evidence of malice.

So, just because you think an edit is out of place, that does not automatically make it vandalism.

Perhaps you should consider the bold, revert, discuss cycle. Instead of simply removing content that you think it objectionable, you should discuss it - because if a long-standing editor has put that material in, they evidently do not think that it is objectionable. So instead of removing that content and shutting down any opportunity for debate, perhaps you should consider coming to a consensus on the issue first.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Hockenheimring 1982-1989.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Hockenheimring 1982-1989.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 08:31, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Australian Grand Prix map

Phillip Island is not really in the Melbourne area, it's two hours away. Also Point Cook is in Melbourne and known today as RAAF Williams. Leyburn is as far away from Brisbane as Bathurst is from Sydney. And you say five parts of the country? Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Longford, that's six and that does not include Bathurst. Needs a few corrections. --124.179.98.190 (talk) 04:15, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Noted. I apologize; I have to admit I personally have never been to Australia and I was conducting my research through other means. I will certainly make the corrections; and I am aware of the fact that Point Cook is now known as RAAF Williams but I have to refer to it as Point Cook because that's what the location apparently was known as in 1947. There are so many different locations, it's crazy, really. --Hmdwgf (talk) 04:47, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Chapter titles

Well now you see why placing years in F1 chapter titles isn't such a great idea. Chapter titles aren't supposed to be a calendar or a timeline, just a sumary of the contents. --Falcadore (talk) 22:45, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Years act as good marker points of history. And yes but I never did anything nearly as spectacularly messy as the user in question. He listed just about every year all of the continential European Grand Prixs on all the seperate pages.--Hmdwgf (talk) 15:27, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Hmdwgf!

Good to see someone else working on expanding the Moss article! The pic with Innes Ireland is a great addition. You'll see I've changed the content of the Mille Miglia section back to the version before your changes. I've given the reasons for my edits, both in the edsum and on the talk page, and I hope the explanations (based on WP:OR) are agreeable to you. It would be nice if you could add any additional verifiable and reliably sourced information to the article as there's still much room for improvement :) . Best wishes, Writegeist (talk) 18:59, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Madonie Medio 1919-1930.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Madonie Medio 1919-1930.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

File:Andrea De Cesaris 1983.jpg

Hi Hmdwgf. I notice you recently created File:Andrea De Cesaris 1983.jpg at Wikimedia Commons. I was wondering why you named the file "Andrea de Cesaris 1983.jpg" - the original photo you cropped looks as though it was taken at the launch of the 1982 Alfa Romeo, so I would have imagined the photo was taken in 1982, not 1983. (Note: I have left a similar message at your Commons talk page - if you respond here (or on my talk page), you don't need to reply there as well). Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 03:58, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Yes, it is the 1982 image; I got it wrong. Someone needs to change the name of the file. --Hmdwgf (talk) 04:30, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Nomination for deletion of Template:FIFA World Cup Final Matches

Get rid of it. I didn't even know there was a navbox that already had all those matches. --Hmdwgf (talk) 20:36, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

You didn't move it to the bottom of the article, you moved it to the bottom of the lead section. This isn't your fault, but that article is in a terrible state and needs properly expanding. Furthermore, you haven't provided any source for the fact that Al Gore presented the trophy. – PeeJay 15:53, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Don't talk to me about improving articles. Nothing that I have seen you do here is constructive- only destructive. You better not keep this selfish attitude of yours up any longer- it doesn't help anybody. Hmdwgf (talk) 17:32, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Your comments about Pasadena being near Los Angeles are totally irrelevant. What difference does it make that the venue is a few miles away from another large city? Furthermore, to add that statement immediately after Brazil's dedication of their win to Ayrton Senna is a total non-sequitur; the fact that the game was played in southern California has no bearing on the dedication or the fact that Al Gore presented the trophy. Finally, you can't just add a section header and expect that that makes a difference, especially when the section header you added is irrelevant to the content that comes beneath. In what way does the content of that section constitute a report? I will find a way to incorporate the Al Gore info, but your obsession with mentioning Los Angeles is somewhat concerning. – PeeJay 17:40, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
I do not care what you think. And I can maintain that attitude- the fact that the Rose Bowl is near Los Angeles is not as relevant as the match itself, obviously- but no one around the world knows where Pasadena, California is- but more people know where Los Angeles is. So why not add it? It gives creedence and even more vaildity to the match itself because it was played very close to a major American city- which has hosted the summer Olympics twice, no less, and is where Hollywood is. Do you know what is really cause for concern? I'm obssessive? You are Howard Hughes-obsessive compared to me. Your manic, obsessive, reckless and aggressive behavior on these World Cup articles, your obsession about something so small and unimportant, and your blatant edit-warring- which you have been warned for before, is cause for concern. Your behavior and attitude towards your editing, as I have said before, is totally destructive. Almost every edit anyone ever does that you don't personally like on these World Cup articles, you go after them- you impulsively redo the edits without looking through them or trying to find something in those apparent mistakes that could enhance these articles. But to be honest (this defeats the purpose of my argument, I know, but I'm throwing it in anyway, because I'm sinking to your level right now) this is argument is utterly stupid- it's such a small detail- that Los Angeles and Al Gore edit I included it does nothing but slightly enhance that article- why are we arguing over it? I am only defending what I have done, I can't speak for you. And also- that Ayrton Senna thing- that has been on that for some time- I didn't include it. Once again, reckless. Remember what I said- if you change that edit on that article- I'm reporting you for edit-warring.Hmdwgf (talk) 18:01, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
You've clearly missed the point of what I was saying. I'm not saying the Ayrton Senna fact is irrelevant. It's unsourced, sure, but that's easily remedied. My problem is with the way you seem to want to follow Ayrton Senna with an odd comment about how big the stadium is, then you completely change tack again by mentioning Al Gore. None of it fits together! – PeeJay 20:09, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
OK, OK, fair enough. I will come up with a new way to format that paragraph.Hmdwgf (talk) 20:34, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

The event is conventionally referred to as Panamerica in English, e.g. here, hence the piped link to the article name. And your edit broke the ref again. Eagleash (talk) 21:19, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

No, it is not. That is a spelling error on that reference article. Why don't you read further down the paragraph in that article, or do a google search? And the Carrera Panamericana is not referred to as the Carrera Panamerica in English- the Carrera Panamericana is referred to as the Carrera Panamericana in English, Spanish, Italian- any language on this Earth refers to the Carrera Panamericana as the Carrera Panamericana. Translated to English from Spanish, the Carrera Panamericana means "Pan-American Race". Please don't revert my edit again. --Hmdwgf (talk) 21:25, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

This is a message, asking you to refrain from creating article pages about separate episodes of Top Gear (2002 TV Series). They have no notability to them whatsoever; if the show was a drama, sci-fi, fantasy, crime drama, any form of fictional show, the article would be fine if only to detail the plot, cast and crew of the episode. This show is a motoring magazine programme - times for Power Laps and Celebrity Segments are already covered by both List of Top Gear test track Power Lap Times and Top_Gear_test_track#Celebrity_laps, topics for the News Segments are out of date by now and inaccurate, and any opinions on a car (good or bad) should be compared on the main article for the car in question alongside those from other critics and reviewers.

Again, please refrain from making any more pages on episodes; if they are for the Specials not covered separately, then that is fine, so long as you can notably justify these being created. GUtt01 (talk) 10:36, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to United Kingdom 2030 FIFA World Cup bid, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say.

Linking

The guideline on WP:OVERLINKs states "major examples of geographic features (e.g., the Himalayas, Pacific Ocean, South America)" should not be linked. I think that if South America is not normally to be linked, North America shouldn't be either. But if "there is a contextually important reason to link" it, we could link, but the article isn't about the geographic region, but about the tournament. If you have a reason to link it, feel free to explain it on the article's talk page and gain consensus to make the change. If you were to link it, you can do it like this: [[North America]]n. There' no need to pipe it the way you did. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:59, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

Julian Assange

Hi Hmdwgf, You made a single change to the lead of Julian Assange on 26 December 2020‎, which describes him first and foremost as a computer hacker. This seems like a politically motivated change to influence public opinion days before the ruling on his extradition to the US. However I would like to know your motivation for making this change. Thank you Spreading Justice (talk) 08:49, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

I just felt his experience in computer hacking and his general knowledge of computer technology was worth noting. There was no political motivation on my end. Public opinion on Julian Assange has been as polarizing as it has been since his efforts with Chelsea Manning in 2010.--Hmdwgf (talk) 09:22, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Also- this isn't a site on public opinion. You shouldn't come on this website if you intend to put your own bias on any specific individual- you'll get banned quickly.--Hmdwgf (talk) 09:26, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
@Hmdwgf: This sounds a bit strange. The timing is also suspect. Why would you think that this is worth noting in the lead when it is already mentioned in the article? And why first? Implying that he is more of a computer hacker than an editor or publisher. The implications of this are massive. A simple google search then classified him as "Hacker" instead of "Editor". The major charge against him in his extradition request is for hacking - so this seems too coincidental. I don't have a bias for any specific individual, I just noticed this unfair and non-consensus change and fixed it. Spreading Justice (talk) 09:01, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
@Spreading Justice: First of all- I resent the implication that I am some anti-Julian Assange crusader- you have no concrete proof of this other than your own frankly delusional over-thinking of my so-called "motivations"- there was and is no political motivation on my end. You very clearly have pro-Assange bias- the fact that you even made your feelings clear about how "unfair" my edit was is concrete proof because this site is not about what you and only you think is fair and unfair- it is an online encyclopedia that is supposed to have neutral, factual information- and Assange is in fact known for activities related to computer hacking. Every edit you've made on this site as of when this response was written has been related to Julian Assange.
I don't want to talk about this anymore with someone who may have mental problems and needs professional help. Your thought process is disorganized and you seem to have paranoid delusions of me out to get someone you are clearly obsessed with- someone needs to get you off a computer and into a place where you can be helped. But if you can, please seek help.--Hmdwgf (talk) 09:43, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
@Hmdwgf: Yes, you are right, I have no concrete proof. But someone wanting to represent the facts without any history of edits on a page making an unapproved change to the lead of that page which has consequences for public opinion on an upcoming ruling seems too strange. I don't know what your true motivations were, but they were probably not what you say they were. I'm not criticizing you as a person, although after your attacks on me I probably should, I'm just pointing out your highly suspicious edits to a page and questioning your motivation for it. Without any pro or contra Assange bias, your change, which was against consensus, given the timing of it, had an impact on public opinion and was detrimental to the subject. "Fair" it is not.

Speedy deletion nomination of Autódromo Internacional de Luanda

Hello Hmdwgf,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Autódromo Internacional de Luanda for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

An article you recently created, Autódromo Internacional de Bogota, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
