Denny Hulme/1974 German GP

Hi Jahn1234567890. I have reverted your changes regarding Denny Hulme's result at the 1974 German Grand Prix. I know that Hulme illegally rejoined the race in the spare car and was blackflagged, but reliable sources such as formula1.com, FORIX and ChicaneF1 give his result as "Ret". As a general rule, Wikipedia's F1 results are consistent with external sources. In future, if you believe a particular result is incorrect, please start a discussion, either on the race's talk page or at the Formula One WikiProject. Thanks.

1976 Shellsport International Series

Do you think you might like to explain what this is? It does not mention anything about motor racing, what type of cars or anything like that. It might as well be a darts tournament or bicycle races. Are there many other articles you've done that badly written than no-one might understand the subject? --Falcadore (talk) 13:31, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Ways to improve Quentin Gilbert

Hi, I'm Anupmehra. Jahn1234567890, thanks for creating Quentin Gilbert!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Article requires significant coverage in the reliable sources. Please read WP:SPORTCRIT.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. AnupMehra ✈ 09:58, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

"Parked" vs. "Disqualified"

Hi there. First, thanks for the great work adding and improving the drivers' tables on the various articles - it's a great help and good work!

On the DQ vs. "Parked" thing - if the articles are showing "Parked" with the black "Disqualified" color-coding, then that's probably an error that needs fixing. "Disqualified" is actually a specific, seperate thing - for instance as happened to Bobby Hillin here. Basically a "parked" driver is just, well, parked (and sometimes the team "parked" it, not the sanction), whereas a DQ is "go to the bottom of the finishing order, not passing Go". - The Bushranger One ping only 10:12, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Kurt Busch is shown as DQ on the 2012 Sprint Cup page at Talladega and Carl Edwards is shown as DQ on the 2010 Sprint Cup page at Atlanta. If a driver is parked due to a sanction I think the colour shown should de black. It shows that the driver didn't just retire from the race. Perhaps the NASCAR driver results legend should need some clarification? Jahn1234567890 (talk) 19:03, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Then that's an error that needs to be fixed, as neither of those drivers were disqualified. There's a fine line between "detail" and "overdetail" in the results, and IMHO splitting hairs on black-flagging is a bit on the "overdetail" side - being parked is different from disqualification. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:58, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Our table-breaking IP friend...

Be prepared to deal with him for the long haul. This fellow has been "improving" tables in various open-wheel pages, and announcer pages for race results, for at least a year; he only recently discovered the results tables. And as he's a dynamic IP the blocks, they do nothing. Rangeblocks work but are a pain to institute... - The Bushranger One ping only 00:36, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

Superbike race results

Hi, although this edit is correct from a factual point of view, probably you don't know that it was decided (not by me but by Cs-wolves perhaps) to list in the table as retired the riders who appear as NS in the timesheets because NSs are taken into account for rider statistics along with the actual starts (e.g. Goi is given 4 races in 2014). I don't have any preference over one or the other system, but the tables require internal consistency. –Gpmat (talk) 20:12, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

Hi, in case you were unaware, I've been working on Junior's Nationwide and IROC results all day, and have gotten all of them done with the exception of the 1998 and 1999 Busch Series seasons. I've got a rather busy schedule tomorrow and was wondering, if you're not too busy, would you mind finishing the results? If not, that's alright, but the IP who is helping out with adding the tables added this one prematurely, so I went ahead and made it as complete as possible; however, it is still missing those two seasons. I also don't want the table empty for that long, so if you could get it done for me, that would be fantastic. Thanks for all you've already done! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 03:13, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Hylton's pre-1972 results...

…they are notable enough, it seems. Shouldn't there be some way we can fit those into the table? I notice Morgan Shepherd and Dick Trickle have their 1970 results in their respective tables, although Dave Marcis raced before 1972 and his results aren't included. But Red Byron only raced from 1949 to 1951, and his article has a results table. Is there anyway we could get a template for pre-modern era results (I see The Bushranger's only goes up to 1972), or would we have to start from scratch if we wanted to include them in the table? Thanks again for all your work; I see you have finally joined WikiProject NASCAR, so let me welcome you to the project. I hope you continue to enjoy working here! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 14:36, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm trying to come up with something in my sandbox. Just letting you know in case you want to tweak it or help me out. Thanks, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 17:04, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
I'm planning to finish up Dale Jarrett's Nationwide and IROC resuls first. I'l see what I can do after I'm finished doing that. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 19:42, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Just FYI, Bill Rexford's page has the '52 and '53 templates, so those may not need to be started from scratch. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 00:37, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Spread the love by adding {{subst:Seasonal Greetings}} to other user talk pages.

My apologies for not getting this out yesterday; it was a busy day all around for me. Thanks for all you do to add the results tables to the articles of drivers that lack them. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 15:47, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Scott Wimmer

Hey Jahn. Sorry to keep bothering you (I see I've left you your last 4 messages), but our IP friend left Scott Wimmer's Cup results unfinished a few days ago. While I'm finishing completing Kasey Kahne's table, do you mind finishing Wimmer's? It's only two seasons, and there are other things I may have to do tonight offline. I completely understand if you have other things to do, but if you could get this done, I'd greatly appreciate it. Happy New Year! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:19, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

No problem, consider it done. I also wish you a Happy New Year! Jahn1234567890 (talk) 01:03, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! I'm hopeful my night can clear up some so that I can edit while watching the ball drop, but this is a huge help. Thanks again! --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 01:27, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Grand Theft Kvapil's Car

If I recall correctly, we usually use the "Wth" label in results tables if a car arrived at the track before withdrawing. Since Kvapil and the 44 team had their car stolen before they reached the track (apparently), and on the same day as practice/qualifying, should we list him as a "Wth" or not add anything? Zappa24Mati 02:47, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

@ZappaOMati: I'd prefer something like, "Dude Where's My (Cup) Car", but the above works too. Anyway, I'm pretty sure the philosophy behind the "Wth" listing is that if a driver was simply on the entry list, then withdrew, he should not get that listing; however, say he practiced and wrecked his team's only car for that weekend (Dave Blaney at last year's Daytona 500, for example). Then we would give that driver the listing since he actually participated in an event. Since the car was stolen before Kvapil saw any track time, I don't believe we would give him the listing here. @Jahn1234567890: correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure this is how we determine the labeling.
Indeed a driver should only get listed with the "Wth" label if he actually participated during the weekend before withdrawing. So in Kvapil's case we don't have to add any results or something. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 14:51, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

Dale Earnhardt's IROC results

I figured you might be interested in doing this since you've already finished his NASCAR results. How do you feel about taking this on? I'm also willing to do a driver of your request if you want (perhaps I could finish up Skinner's Truck results?). --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 16:43, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I wasn't planning on finishing Skinners table soon so if you wan't to help out that would be great! I actually was planning on adding Earnhardt's IROC results a while ago so I'l be happy to finish up his results.Jahn1234567890 (talk) 19:15, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

The Grand National table

Hi Jahn. As you may know, I'm also a member of the Game Shows WikiProject, and I've also done a lot with the results tables recently. With that, I'm going to try to bring The Million Second Quiz to GA status and work on other game show articles as well, so I will likely be abstaining from work on the tables for a bit. While I'm working with the game shows, do you mind working on the Grand National table? When I come back, I'd like to continue working on the modern day drivers, but imagine us completing tables for guys such as Richard Petty, David Pearson, and Cale Yarborough?

I truly thank you for working on the tables with me over the past few months, and look forward to working with you in the future. Thanks, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 01:11, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

I'm planning on finishing the results of all the drivers on my nascar page first. I'l probably have some time to work on it after I'm done with that. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 14:12, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

"can we have xfinity Series results required"

Those are the words of our dearest IP friend, referring to Kevin Harvick's page. Since I'm working with the game show project right now, do you mind finishing these results (on my user page is fine, I won't be editing that until I finish my game show work) if the IP doesn't get around to it? I'll certainly be back soon; I want to see how much I can do with a couple of articles (The Price Is Right (U.S. game show) and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?) first, then work on the tables for the drivers on my page as well as some of the pre-1972 drivers. Many thanks again, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 19:56, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately I'm ill at the moment. I will probably have a look at it after the weekend. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 23:07, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
No problem; my apologies if I came off as "please-Jahn-get-it-done-now-so-we-don't-have-to-worry-about-this-IP" because that was not my intention. Take your time to recover and get some rest if you aren't feeling well. --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 23:37, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
