Rally Australia

Rally Australia's contract as WRC rally end with 2018. It's definitely not confirmed in 2019 calendar, speculations even say New Zealand could take Australia's place. "Calendar of next #WRC season will need to be confirmed by FIA's World Motor Sport Council. The WMSC next meet on 12 October in Paris, until then calendar information is speculative." I'm copying from the source that Prisonermonkeys thinks confirms it as WRC rally:

“We would like to retain WRC in Australia, so I’d like to look at some options,” said Rainsford.

“We have a deal on the table for here next year, but a lot of what happens in the future depends on New South Wales government .”

How could you understand that source so incorrectly? --Pelmeen10 (talk) 18:24, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

"We would like to retain WRC in Australia, so I’d like to look at some options,” said Rainsford.

He does not say that they do not have a contract—only that he wants the event to have a long-term future.

"We have a deal on the table for here next year, but a lot of what happens in the future depends on New South Wales government .”

Where does he say there is no funding for 2019? All he says is "the future" without putting a timeframe on it. Indeed "we have a deal on the table" is a colloquialism that means there is an agreement in place.

"How could you understand that source so incorrectly?"

Nothing that he says suggests that there is no agreement for 2019. 1.129.107.76 (talk) 13:25, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

The rally is held and they would like to retain WRC in Australia. The deal is with funding and government, not with WRC. The rally can still be held without wrc as national event. That's it, you have to prove they have an agreement with WRC to include it in Misplaced Pages (these are the guidelines, but until October everything is speculating). --Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:45, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Up to speed on Rally Australia running in 2019 (19th Jul 2018) RALLY Australia's bid to retain its place on the World Rally Championship calendar next year should be known next month. "We will know most likely during the month of August," Rainsford told Speedcafe.com. After winning a three-year calendar deal in 2014, Rally Australia secured a one year contract from the WRC Promoter to host this year's final round from November 15-18. "We would be happy if we wrapped another a three-year deal but at this stage they're (WRC) not keen on doing three-year deals, although I expect that for Kenya (which is set to return to the calendar from 2020)," Rainsford said.

So, news for Australia's event are expected in August. Don't rush. Found some speculations about other events: --Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:54, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

I don't care what's speculated. You cannot remove well-sourced content bases on speculation. 1.144.111.104 (talk) 03:33, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

What's wrong with you? Do you understand that this article is about 2019 World Rally Championship? Read this article again. You don't have it well sourced, wishful thinking maybe, nothing more. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:21, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

If Rally Australia is not in the calendar next year (and run as a national event), then there's no reason to add it here as a planned rally. Don't add false statements. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:04, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

If they have a contract today and that contract is torn up tomorrow, does that make it a "false statement" if the article says that they have a contract today? No, it doesn't. The article must reflect what the sources say, not what we think will happen. 1.144.111.104 (talk) 03:33, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Contract with who? We don't really care if they have a contract with the government or funding. We care if the rally is confirmed in the calendar, but is has never been. Is Calls to relocate Rally Australia from 2019 the only source you got? The date is WEDNESDAY 22ND NOVEMBER, 2017 and the next year means 2018, not 2019. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 14:21, 12 August 2018 (UTC)

Calendar and Rally Japan

If you are adding Rally Japan to the list based on this article https://www.autosport.com/wrc/news/138171/rally-japan-gets-goahead-from-wrc then you should also mention what's in the article: A final decision will be made at the World Motor Sport Council meeting in Paris on October 12. "The proposal will now go to the FIA World Motor Sport Council where we assume we will get a positive approval to bring the rally back to Japan and then the event will take place from 2019 for probably four years. — so it's not 100% final yet. You can't just cherry pick a part of that news report and ignore the rest of it. Like I mentioned in the edit summary and in the previous discussion with Rally Australia, the date (Oct 12) is important because if any premature conclusions of calendar predictions are made, that's a note how long the calendar is not 100% final. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:16, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

Tvx1, Unnamelessness, Kovpastish do you have an opinion here? --Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:34, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

As far as I can see, they have a deal/contract to hold the race in 2019. As far as I know that meets the standard of inclusion we use for all future season WP:Motor articles. None of the races on 2019 Formula One World Championship have received final FIA approval either, yet we include them. They are contracted for said and season and we introduced them as such.Tvx1 17:11, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

@Tvx1: So, can we make 2020 season article, and write that Kenya has a contract? --Pelmeen10 (talk) 19:29, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Yes, but shouldn't we include the date when the final calendar is revealed? Isn't the World Motor Sport Council meeting important for us? In comparison 2026 Winter Olympics includes "The host city will be selected at the 134th IOC Session on 11 September 2019 in Milan, Italy." --Pelmeen10 (talk) 17:47, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

I don't see the significance of the date. A calendar needs to be published for the championship to go ahead; that's a foregone conclusion. So all the line does is draw attention to the date. Why is 12 September so important? What does publishing then do that publishing on 11 or 13 September does not? 1.129.109.103 (talk) 09:22, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Did you know... that September is not actually October? But why is that date important? - Because from this article (currently) we can find that: 1. Tänak & Mikkelsen have active contracts. 2. Rally Japan has a contract with WRC (reality is actualy different, cuz it's not confirmed). We can't really find out anything more about 2019 WRC season. What we could find out - 1. Any other driver tied to a team? - not that we know of; When we do we know? - we don't know. 2. What rallies are planned - we don't know, because the calendar is not decided yet. When do we know? - Oh, we do actually know that, it the 12th of October. But that's it. Nothing more to write (or read from the article)! I'd say the current article is really pointless. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 19:29, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

Look at any other article for an upcoming championship. None of them detail when a calendar is due to be published. 1.129.110.209 (talk) 04:15, 7 September 2018 (UTC)

Not 100% confirmed yet so no, I wouldn't include it right now. This source: https://www.wrc.com/en/wrc/news/august-2018/japan-agreement/page/5684--12-12-.html also says a candidate event, to make sure all the standards for a World Rally Event is met, will be held in early November. Kovpastish (talk) 19:11, 29 August 2018 (UTC)

The release date of the calendar is not so important — It does not affect the 2019 season. Of course, I have no objection to the accession of the date. It does not affect the readability as well after all. — Unnamelessness (talk) 03:21, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

Clearly this anon user wont stop the edit war. I dont know if the person cant read or what is his problem. I have told this several times that before the Motorsport Council meeting, no rally has a contract. It is not a village sport, these are FIA rules. If you have a proper source to prove me wrong, please provide it. But in reality none of the sources can say that a rally has a contact with WRC, because it has to be confirmed in that meeting! Please read WP:CRYSTAL. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 03:26, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

"Clearly this anon user wont stop the edit war. I dont know if the person cant read or what is his problem."

Is it really edit-warring when I am undoing someone's incompetence? It's a bit rich of you to throw around accusations that people are not reading sources when you clearly haven't read them yourself.

"I have told this several times that before the Motorsport Council meeting, no rally has a contract."

Which just goes to show how little you understand the subject. A contract is signed between the event organisers and the rally promoter. The WMSC doesn't come into it until they assign the event a specific date on the calendar. That's why the section is called "list of planned rallies" and not "calendar". It's a separation of powers that applies to every FIA-sanctioned championship in the world.

"If you have a proper source to prove me wrong, please provide it."

The source that I have provided is adequate. It clearly states that dates for 2019 rallies are being discussed, and they could not be discussed without a contract. 1.144.107.172 (talk) 04:48, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

You have not provided any evidence that they have a contract. Certainly not this source, neither your last attempt to add Rally Australia. Anything can be discussed without a contract, or is that WP:OR? You are trying to suck something out of a source that does not exist, which is WP:CRYSTAL. Please do read those policies. Btw, Rally Sweden has already announced the 2019 dates - 14-17 Feb. Do something else for 9 days and come back on 12 Oct to share your brilliant knowledge of WRC. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 07:16, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

"Rally Sweden has already announced the 2019 dates - 14-17 Feb."

So why isn't it in the list? They cannot announce dates for the rally if they don't have a contract.

"come back on 12 Oct to share your brilliant knowledge of WRC"

Shouldn't be too hard, seeing as how you still haven't figured out that I'm Prisonermonkeys. After all, I'm not the one who claimed that a rally has to have a contract with the WMSC. 1.144.107.10 (talk) 10:04, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Because any one of the rallies could lose their place as WRC event. Rallies are still held on national and/or ERC level. None of the places are guaranteed. Rally Poland for example is held every year. Does it mean that they are automatically WRC event - ofcourse not, they lost their place after 2017. Any one of the 2018 rallies could be dropped just like Poland. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:08, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Where are the news about contracts? Nowhere, because any announcement would be premature. We don't care if a contract is in someone's drawer. No official announcement, no mention in Misplaced Pages. --Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:15, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

in 2.2 Calendar Changes 3rd sentence "The rally’s return stremmed from" spelling should be "stemmed" Stickler4 (talk) 07:55, 5 September 2018 (UTC)

 Done Thank-you for pointing that! regards, DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 08:29, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
