Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the 
button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put
{{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.Sincerely, Jax 0677 (talk) 03:00, 9 June 2013 (UTC) (Leave me a message)
Mercedes changes
[edit]Hello. I have noticed that you are changing references to the Mercedes Formula One team to link to the more general Mercedes in motorsport article. I think changes are not an improvement as the F1 team is a more relevant link in most of the cases. If I were you I would not make any more changes without seeking the opinion of the motorsport project as I feel your changes are likely to be reversed. Britmax (talk) 11:28, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- The changes I make is from a redirection page to the page it redirects to and following a discussion on a talkpage about moving the page from the former to the later. For the years when Mercedes wasn't even called Mercedes GP (like in the 1950s and now), I can't find anything wrong in this. The discussion about the move is here: Talk:Mercedes GP#Proposed move.

- Thanks for that, I will read the discussion thoroughly when real life allows. Also thanks for the comments re the diagrams. Quite a lot of articles have diagrams I have worked on, there is a list further down my page. Britmax (talk) 13:29, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
While there's no real problem with what you are doing, it's pointless as the links are piped anyway. It doesn't matter if it's Mercedes GP or Mercedes-Benz in Formula One, no one will see it and they both link to the same page. QueenCake (talk) 21:54, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- Of course everyone will see it, if there's a redirect. If I click on a link to Mercedes GP, I come to Mercedes-Benz in Formula One, and I can clearly see the text " (Redirected from Mercedes GP)" right under the headline. Can't you? BTW, I'm done with it, so it's not that I'm going to keep on doing these changes now anyway. But thanks for caring. Outer Image (talk) 23:29, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
