Thanks for uploading Image:Shadow Racing logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded to your comments and have made the appropriate changes. Feel free to re-review the article. Davnel03 11:15, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any chance you could take a look at Brabham BT19 before I submit it to FAC? Its two most obvious problems are that it is quite short (but I believe it is comprehensive) and a lack of pictures. Any comments will be received in a friendly manner! :D 4u1e 11:51, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

don't you think that edit warring over Colin Macrae's nationality when he has just died is a bit, well, sick? Have some respect, for crying out loud. Lurker (said · done) 11:44, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Biography WikiProject Newsletter Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007
Project News The three-month long Summer Assessment Drive, organized by Psychless, was a huge success! It ran from June 1 – September 1, and reduced the backlog of unassessed articles from 113,385 to 56,237. In all, over 100,000 articles were assessed. Over 60 people contributed in some way. A barnstar has been created for exceptional work on Wikipedia biographies and for assisting the project. The Biography Barnstar is listed with the other WikiProject awards and can be awarded easily with a template. See the template page for more details.

Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page New irc channel Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: #wikipedia-en-bio Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination this year. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:18, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've renominated this for FA status. Any chance you could comment on the article at the above link? Much appreciated if you could comment! :) Davnel03 14:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Noticed your recent tag of a neutrality dispute on this article, referring to a talk page for discussion, only to find there is no discussion. If placing a NPOV tag, then please explain why rather than tag and leave otherwise there never will be a debate and nothing will be done except the leaving of a tag. I'm inclined to remove the tag because of the lack of explanation, but I'd thought I'd ask you about it first. Thank you for your time. --Falcadore 02:40, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 15:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. The Red Dwarf article has just been requested for a Peer Review. As a member of WikiProject Red Dwarf I was wondering if you would like to join in on the discussions. The article has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. If you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality! Wikipedia:Peer review/Red Dwarf --Nreive (talk) 11:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, as someone who has contributed to an F1 article that has achieved FA status, I would be grateful for your comments on the Max Mosley article which I have nominated for FA. I know you haven’t contributed to it before which is why I think you would have a impartial view point. At the moment no one from the F1 portal has commented (possibly because the man himself isn't that popular!) Many thanks Tommy turrell (talk) 19:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thank you for your time, I know it's a long read! Glad you thought it was suitable for FA, have a good easter. Tommy turrell (talk) 19:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Phill, my mistake – I removed the template and the category but missed that one. Thanks for letting me know (btw I'm a Leeds United fan and just stumbled across it and checked up because it didn't seem right). Good luck for the rest of the season,  Kaboooz LUFC  ^T _C

Hi Phill. As someone who has got a motor racing article to FA status, I was wondering whether you could peer review the 1995 Japanese Grand Prix article for me. Could you possibly make comments on the article at the PR discussion here. Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 17:14, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'l do my best, but I'm not actually sure I've heard all of them spoken elsewhere either, so you may just be getting the benefit of my misunderstandings!

• Tauranac - Tor-ran-ack
• Joachim Luhti - Yo-ah-kim Loo-tee
• l'Automobile - Lor-to-mo-beel (Surely that's easier than Federation (Fed-der-ra-see-on) and possibly than Internationale (In-ter-nass-ee-on-aal). Anyway, camp up your French accent!
• Rapier (where's that!) - Ray-pee-err
• perilously - peh-ri-luss-lee
• Andrea de Adamich - An-drey-err duh Ah-dam-mitch

Let me know if that sounds weird! 4u1e (talk) 13:48, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed your question on 4u1e's talk page. Here's how you pronounce perilous, you need to add -ly at the end. Royalbroil 13:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No trouble. Conversely, I'm a lot more comfortable with French than Italian (I lived in Paris for a year). It's only a very rough rule of thumb, but you'll often find that where in Italian you pronounce all of the letters in a word, in French you often don't pronounce the last letter. (so, 'Paris' is pronounced 'Pari'). There's tonnes of exceptions, though. 4u1e (talk) 22:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
