Polish Speedway

Thanks for the additions to the Motorcycle speedway article. With the amount of information you have added; you might find it beneficial to move the majority to a Speedway in Poland article (like the Speedway in the United Kingdom article).

I have updated the Speedway Ekstraliga page also as there was an old page Polish Extraleague that had some information on that I've transferred across and made the old page into a redirect.

Also, if the league name is officially Ekstraliga then please do use that instead of Extraleague, it is nice to see the translation but if the Polish spelling is more widely known then we'll use that (e.g. we use Elitserien and not the english equivalent).

Lastly, thanks for moving information across from the .pl wiki and I hope you continue to help improve all Speedway articles. - Foxhill 15:54, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi do you think you will be creating the article as suggested by Foxhill? It seems to be a very good idea to do so. I know that I have butted in on the section and amended some parts, and I had thought of creating an article anyway as if the UK has an article on speedway then Poland most definitely should. I don't want to step on your toes, but can help with creating the article. cheers. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 17:20, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thanks for your reply. Great work! Would you mind if I did a bit of work on it, see what you think? I only mean very minor edits, not anything major as it already looks great. cheers, ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 18:21, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, good work on the sandbox. I hope you don't mind but I did some work on it in my sandbox. Most of it is minor stuff. However, there were a couple of sentences which in English did not really convey the correct meaning when translated from Polish, which I have changed. Have a look here and see what you think? Have fun! ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 02:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes I know the site I am using is old. But I thought it was better to get some information on wikipedia and then once it is on it can be updated. Did you get a chance to look at my sandbox? I have mentioned on the Motorcycle speedway article talk page that a Speedway in Poland article is in the process of being created, but I did not know if you wanted your name mentioned or not as the creator? Best wishes, ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 13:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have amended some of the stuff you added to the Motorcycle speedway Polish section. However, I just wanted to check what you mean by this? - "Besides, since 2003 Polish juniors won Under 21 Individual World Championship." Unfortunately in English it is not clear what is being said. Do you mean that a Polish rider has won the U21 World Championship each year since 2003? Also and I know that some editors seem to use initials a lot, however bearing in mind that other users reading an article might not understand what the initials mean, so I have taken out "WC" (which as initials in English can also mean a public toilet :)! ) and left it as World Championship so as readers who do not know a lot about speedway will know what is meant. Good work on creating the Speedway in Poland article. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 21:33, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedway in Poland

Hi Radzinski. You are off to such a great start on the article Speedway in Poland that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Also, don't forget to keep checking back at Did you know suggestions for comments regarding your nomination. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 17:11, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Polish speedway riders Category

Please don't remove the riders from the speedway riders category when you add to your new Polish category. It is easier to find the riders in a full list. I have added the speedway riders category to the articles you amended. Will your template work for all countries ? Thanks Hammer1980 17:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leave them in BOTH categories please. I have written the majority of rider articles and it is easier to find them in the full list. I think the country categories are not really needed, however if you feel they are useful then please use as additional categories, not removing them from the list I have spent so long writing. Thanks. Hammer1980 17:47, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedway World Championship

Read the at talk page. Over 100 links to the existing page. Nothing wrong with the artcile where it was, now have made a disambuguation page and redirected the Individual page to the existing page. You are making extra work when there is no need.Hammer1980 17:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Image:Polski Zwiazek Motorowy.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Image:Polski Zwiazek Motorowy.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Teamplate:Speedway event 20heats

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Teamplate:Speedway event 20heats, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Template:SGP Results4. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 17:36, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedway World Team Cup

The name above was the name of the competition when it was in existence. I was writing the article and you moved it whist I am still editing it! I have put back to original title. Hammer1980 23:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Polish names

I will try and remember to add the names in Polish in future articles now that I can see what they look like ! Please check though in case I miss any. Thanks Hammer1980 12:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Team logos

Hello. I have removed the remaining logos and the deleted logos from the Extraliga pages to try and stop them being deleted from all the articles. I have added a rationale that allows the to be used on the club pages. If you re-upload the ones already deleted, copy the rationale I have put on Image:Kronopol Zielona Gora logo.jpg.

Maps

How did you make the maps like you did on 2007 Speedway Ekstraliga ? Is there some software or a program to use ? Cheers. Hammer1980·^talk 21:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks. In UK "tests and mistakes" = "trial and error !". Both ways hard work. Cheers 11:22, 30 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hammer1980 (talk • contribs)
