Edit?

Hello, I was not logged in but was browsing Misplaced Pages when I received a 'new message.' I was surprised, as I was not logged in, and when I read it it appears an edit was made to an article to do with wrestling. I have not made such an edit, and am wondering if somehow there was a mistake. Do you know what the edit actually said? No one else has access to my computer or knows my password so I am very confused.

I realise this is not your fault, but would just like to clear it up. Thank you. CBJVS (talk) 16:50, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

More 1995 sources

As you may have noticed, I now have a copy of the 1995 British Grand Prix issue of Autosport, courtesy of eBay. I'm bidding for the F1 season preview and European GP issues at the moment - all at 99p so far which makes for a great bargain! ;) --Midgrid(talk) 14:52, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Autocourse just refers to it as "a slight chassis set-up change" and the Yearbook doesn't mention it. However, I've just won the bid for the Brazilian GP report issue of Autosport on eBay. This might have further details, as the magazine had two pages dedicated to a qualifying report back then.--Midgrid(talk) 10:02, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

1995 Brazilian Grand Prix PR

It just got a bunch of comments from The Rambling Man. I'm going to wait until after that review is responded to before dropping by; please ping me when you've done so. Giants2008 (17-14) 00:24, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry; I haven't forgotten about this. I had a good article nomination to tend to yesterday, and that sidetracked me somewhat. I'm looking to get to it tomorrow. Giants2008 (17-14) 19:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

The review is on the PR page now. Giants2008 (17-14) 18:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of 1995 European Grand Prix

The article 1995 European Grand Prix you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:1995 European Grand Prix for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a reassessment. SilkTork * 10:16, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Calm down

Just calm down. You don't agree with the GA review, fine, why do you want it become a GA in the first place, why not just go straight to FAC? Throwing your weight around won't solve anything, and won't endear you to any potential reviewer. I say this as a wiki-friend, by the way, I want the best for the article just as you do. Apterygial 13:03, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

If you are willing to wait a few days, I'll give it a PR when I have some time. Apterygial 13:48, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Be careful with your comments at FAC. Keep in mind what FAC is: compromise. Consider expanding the lead, it may not be necessary in your eyes for the article but it could make or break the FAC. My second comment ] stands. Just a thought. Apterygial 12:23, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

I'd go into more detail about the race itself, for example Schumacher catching Alesi in the final laps (why). Maybe mention at the start of the second paragraph the fact that the race had only just returned to the Nürburgring (oh, and you may have to explain in Background that the European GP jumps around the European countries, that the European GP was at Jerez the previous year, and there was still a German GP in 1995). Apterygial 00:49, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Re:Thanks

You're welcome! :) I hope the Argentine artice goes well - I was lucky enough to come across about half the 1995 run of Autosports being sold on eBay, so once they're all delivered I'll have three contemporary sources for 14 of the 17 races (including Argentina)!--Midgrid(talk) 21:29, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Only one sentence about some upgrades to the Ferraris, but the Autosport issue should have some more details.--Midgrid(talk) 13:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Update: I was silly enough to have all of the new Autosports sent to my home address by mistake, so it'll be another week and a half before I can access them.--Midgrid(talk) 15:51, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:1995 British Grand Prix

I thought I should finally take the plunge and have a stab at writing a race report, seeing as I have all the sources with me. It's also my final exam tomorrow and I wanted a break from revision after writing about Plato and Machiavelli for three hours this morning... (Not that I'm planning on writing it all in a day. ;) )

As you can see, the layout and wording of the article is already indebted to the race report articles you have already written. I've already got the BBC coverage of the race downloaded on my laptop, so I think my vote would have to go for 1993, just to hear Murray's live commentary on the Senna-Prost-Schumacher battle in the opening laps!--Midgrid(talk) 15:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

1995 free practice/qualifying

After trawling through the appendix of the Formula 1 Yearbook 1995, I've found the session times for practice and qualifying, which are constant throughout the season (except at Monaco and in the case of unforeseen delays). However, the regulations also state that each day's free practice session is split into two parts, giving four in total. I've attempted a revised standard introduction in the 1995 British Grand Prix article, on which I would value your input, as it may result in changes in the other 1995 race report articles, both to the standardised explanatory sentences and in more general terms (e.g. "Schumacher set the fastest time in the first session, posting a lap of 1:16.057" might need to be changed to "Schumacher set the fastest time in Friday's free practice sessions, posting a lap of 1:16.057). The Sporting Regulations also define the different types of session as "free practice" and "qualifying practice", which I've incorporated into it.--Midgrid(talk) 17:57, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback; I've tweaked it a bit.--Midgrid(talk) 14:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh dear, I hope you get that sorted out. At uni everyone's laptop seems to die on them at some stage or another; I guess I've been lucky so far! ;) Have you considered getting an external hard drive? It's more expensive than a memory stick, but it can store a VAST amount of backed-up files.--Midgrid(talk) 11:33, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem; I haven't been too active recently either!--Midgrid(talk) 16:06, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk first before jumping to conclusions

Please read all discussion on a topic before jumping to conclusions. The user who reverted the edits I made did so after discussions had finished and did not remove all EU flags and also did so against the consensus of the discussion on the Talk page. That user was not advocating national flags but no flags at all. The discussions concluded the consensus to change from the original EU Flag to the national flags had not been reached and the change was against the previous consensus.--Lucy-marie (talk) 12:29, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:WT:PW

That makes sense now. I recall thinking that I had clicked the link to see that page, but I must have hit rollback instead. When I did check the page, I actually said to myself "Where's the new thread", not realizing I'd hit rollback. My bad. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 11:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Main page appearance: 1995 Japanese Grand Prix

This is a note to let the main editors of 1995 Japanese Grand Prix know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on March 5, 2013. You can view the TFA blurb at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/March 5, 2013. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or his delegates Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs), or start a discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:Today's featured article/requests. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you can change it—following the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. The blurb as it stands now is below:

The 1995 Japanese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race held on October 29, 1995 at the Suzuka Circuit, Suzuka. It was the sixteenth and penultimate round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 53 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team (pictured) after he started from pole position. Mika Häkkinen finished second in a McLaren, and Johnny Herbert third in the other Benetton car. Jean Alesi, driving for Ferrari, started second alongside Schumacher. However, Alesi was forced to serve a 10-second stop-and-go penalty because his car moved forward before the start. Alesi climbed back up to second, before retiring on lap 25. Schumacher's rival in the Drivers' Championship, Damon Hill, started fourth amidst pressure from the British media after poor performances at previous races. Hill moved up to second because of Alesi's retirement, but spun off the circuit on lap 40. Schumacher's win was his ninth of the season, matching Nigel Mansell's record for victories in a season that was set in 1992. Benetton were confirmed Constructors' Champions as Williams could not pass Benetton's points total in the one remaining race. (Full article...)
