Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Eurocup Formula Renault. 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 17:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tabs are our friends

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move. Please do not move articles by copying and pasting them because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. -- But|seriously|folks 03:10, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Formula Renault champions

Please read the Talk:Formula Renault champions page.--Mumia-w-18 13:57, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also remember to "watch" pages that you create so that you can check them in your watchlist.--Mumia-w-18 13:58, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not blank articles. If content is bad, you can take the articles to one of the deletion systems, such as WP:CSD, WP:PROD, or WP:AFD. But blanking of articles is never the correct way to handle bad content on the project. - TexasAndroid 16:22, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your edits to Team Rosberg

Thank you for your contribution, Rollof. However, could you properly reference your sources for the table data? You have provided only top-level URLs without following the article's footnote standard. Please add a footnote (in standard format) to the heading of each table, with a link to the exact page that you used. In its current form, neither editors nor readers can readily check the veracity of the data. Adrian M. H. 12:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References added to Team Rosberg. I'm adding sources to other racing team articles I've contributed with results tables. - Rollof1 14:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Rollof. Adrian M. H. 15:44, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DEFAULTSORT

Hi Rollof1, I have noticed you have been adding the DEFAULTSORT template to articles recently. Just to let you know that this feature is a magic word and not a template, and the correct construction is {{DEFAULTSORT:Sortkey}} rather than {{DEFAULTSORT|Sortkey}} or {{defaultsort|Sortkey}}, using ":" instead of "|". The template was created to prevent confusion and shouldn't be used as it creates an uneeded dependency on a template. Please ask if you have any questions. Thanks, matt br 16:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, its just a mistake during fast categories edits - Rollof1 (talk) 22:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2007 Northern European Cup

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article 2007 Northern European Cup, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Formula One pre 1950

Formula One most certainly did exist before 1950. The category was created, and rules were drawn up, as early as 1946. From 1947 the vast majority of international races were held either to this formula or else Formula Libre (if the organisers wanted to draw some of the pre-WWII behemoths out). Many of the "Grands Prix" that you have identified were not, and for you to go around and delete all mention of F1 prior to 1950 is both wrong and very disruptive.

2008 Fórmula Júnior FR2.0 Portugal season

I changed the table - please check! (The source can be found on the history page.)

May I ask if you had PDF files for the remaining results? When I searched for those results back in 2008, I found most of them - especially the ones of the earlier events - only in the articles they had linked on the official homepage (which weren't very precise). Or did you even use the standings' page to "reconstruct" the results? (I can't remember if this was possible though...)
Anyway... Keep up your good work! :-) --78.42.28.167 (talk) 09:29, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The official website is now defunct (probably as the series). I've no more references (I didn't know the one you used for update the table, thx). The defunct pdf was the complete standing by points (no position). If I remember, there was also pdf for each races with points and neither finish position. So yes, I've probably reconstruct the table. The standing should be correct for the first 10th drivers and you complete my blanks. But why I never understood was why drivers out of points have actually some points! The point system is right. - Rollof1 (talk) 12:57, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On closer inspection, it can be said that "your" standings aren't the latest they released in those PDF file on the offical Fórmula Júnior homepage - however the newer ones were strange, too, as Rémy K. (isn't it "Kirchdoerffer" instead of "Kirchhofer"?) still had points!

OK, I re-discovered them on the homepage of Araújo Competição some seconds ago:

http://www.araujocompeticao.com/site/images/stories/noticias/classificacaogeralfjfr20.pdf

I've learnt one thing: Don't ever completely trust in official standings... Even 2008's official Formula Renault NEC standings are weird! I asked their press person via e-mail about the crudities in their standings (in earlier 2009 or so), but - what a surprise! - didn't get an acknowledgement of these mistakes. And without confirmation, I can't put the corrected table on Wikipedia. --78.42.28.167 (talk) 19:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The pdf you find is edited in december, my edtition of this table was before that month. So you can use it.

It's "Remy Kirchdoerffer" as in this result table from another series or in some other websites. The first round reward too many points, the standing I used was from a race result pdf, so it should be correct, but not the points - Rollof1 (talk) 18:13, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"So you can use it."

-> OK, I will do it soon then. --78.42.28.216 (talk) 22:29, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strange stuff in Formula Renault tables...

Hi, it's me again. As I mentioned two days ago, there are some strange things to be found even in official standings. Here's a list of what I remember:

2008 Formula Renault NEC: Oliver Webb, Daniel Ivarsson and Toomas Heikkinen didn't get points added for the second race at Spa-Francorchamps (17, 4 resp. 2 points)
2008 Formula Renault BARC: Kazuki Hiramine should have 6 points. Besides, Menasheh Idafar should only have 76 points - the second Croft race (and therefore his point for fastest lap) is one of his 2 dropped results (or do dropped scores not include points for pole position!?) I also read once that DSQs cannot be dropped, therefore he could lose another 2 points.
2008 Formula Renault WEC: Julien Abelli should only have 13 points instead of 14. (4+2+6+1=13)
2008 Eurocup Formula Renault: Daniel Zampieri should have 20 and Adam Kout 0 points as Kout finished only 22nd in Barcelona's race 1 - check this: wsr.alkamelsystems.com (It's a mistake from renault-sport.fr)
2009 Formula Renault WEC: inconsistency between formularenaultwec.com and ffsa.org (<- the more trustworthy source?)

If you want, I can change these tables - but I don't have any confirmation that they are actually mistakes.
At the end I want to ask you two questions:

Why don't you add Formula Renault 1.6 Argentina's results into its tables? Because they would become too big?
What's the reason for not adding 2009's Formula Renault UK/BARC winter series to the article?

All these things are not meant to be offensive in any way - they are just suggestions. ;-) --78.42.28.216 (talk) 22:29, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't yet updated 2009 results page (arg 1.6 or BARC...) just because I haven't worked a lot on wikipedia the past weeks (month maybe...). But I have to, even big, complete the results. I will check all you notes soon, I also find mistakes when I update table but the sources are official, so a just copy them if I haven't more informations. The ffsa.org results and archives results are full of mistakes, don't trust them completely. - Rollof1 (talk) 09:43, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your answer. :-) --85.216.2.149 (talk) 18:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

2009 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Cup

I - meanwhile registered on English Wikipedia, too - have added 2009's Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Cup now. If you like, you could control it, but everything should be alright anyway.

I'm looking forward to your edits regarding the 2010 seasons; if you need help, I could lend you a hand every now and then. :-) -- Lutz H (talk) 17:32, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you can! I don't contribute a lot now to formulas Renault and you're of course welcome to complete the 2010 page or specific 2010 series pages (I don't work on them because some people detach them from the main 2010 page and so work already on them. I prefer work on minor series). So feel free to create and modify tables as you did well with 2009 UK/BARC winter cup. - Rollof1 (talk) 09:01, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Formula Renault seasons articles

Hi, I noticed that you have created a string of Formula Renault seasons articles based on their years. I did some major editing on 2008 Formula Renault seasons(lead, grammar, note format, points table, etc.) and you might want to take a look at it. It's more wikified now and if possible, I would encourage you to edit the other Formula Renault seasons(2007, 2006, 2005, etc.) articles based on the changes I've made on the 2008 article.
