The article Formula One Future Races is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Formula One Future Races until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Falcadore (talk) 14:50, 2 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Countries where the bbc are banned requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Burpelson AFB 18:46, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced material

[edit]

Do not add material to Formula One pages without sourcing. Your edits to 2013 Formula One season have been reverted as they appear to simply be speculation. This is not what Wikipedia is for, we require confirmation through outside references. The359 (Talk) 19:46, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article List of countries in 1800 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Totally incomplete and probably incompletable list of someone's idea of what makes a "country". It includes an Emirate and a Colony but doesn't include any Princedoms, Duchies or Empires. And why 1800 in particular? Uninformative and unencyclopaedic.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 22:46, 15 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributed article, List of countries in 1800

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, List of countries in 1800. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - List of sovereign states in 1800. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at List of sovereign states in 1800 - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. andy (talk) 11:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Changes to F1 Championship tables

[edit]

Hi PCH17. Please don't make changes to F1 Drivers' Championship tables which make them inconsistent with the race report and driver articles. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 13:47, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

However, the championship tables are inconsistent with what is report on the offical F1 website. PCH17 (talk)

If by "the official F1 website" you mean www.formula1.com, that site is known to contain some errors. If you find a result in one of the Championship tables which you believe to be incorrect but which is consistent with the corresponding race, driver and team articles, please start a discussion, either on the season summary talk page, or at WT:F1 so that if it is wrong, we can update all the affected articles. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 02:50, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If I can add the additional comment - you seem to be confused as to the roles of Wikipedia and Wikinews, and keep trying to put Wikinews style content into Wikipedia. --Falcadore (talk) 14:58, 8 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
And if I may jump in here, too, I've noticed that you've just copied extensive amounts of text from each article you supply as a reference, pasted it into the article and added a reference. This is in violation of WP:COPYPASTE. You might have attached the appropriate reference, but that doesn't exonerate it from being plagiarism. Sure, when you're quoting a person directly, you need to take exactly what they said - but the problem is that you are also copying over parts of the article as well. For example, you had the following in a quote box:
"We mapped out some of London’s most recognised places and landmarks and then worked out how we would integrate them within the layout," said Populous architect John Rhodes.
The quote itself is fine, but the bit in bold was taken word-for-word from the article you supplied as a source. It might only be five words, but it is still plagiarism.
Other parts of the article are in violation of WP:COPYWITHIN. You have simply copied parts of the 2013 Formula One season article and copied them over to this article without properly attributing the source article. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 07:51, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
