Well remembered! - I had forgotten about that incident. Adrian M. H. 18:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

And you are very welcome too :-) Will 14:27, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, thank you very much for the barnstar! It is really nice to see this feedback, that somebody is interested in my work. I am really glad, thanks again! Doma-w 23:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, on 2006 Formula One season I'll ask for a peer review. Davnel03 21:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you try and comment on it first please!! Davnel03 21:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks for editing this article - it looks really good. In the future, can you try and press Page Preview instead of pressing Save Page. What that means is that you can just go straight back and carry on editing instead of doing it the other way around. Carry on making these great edits! Davnel03 13:28, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to the article keep on coming - I think it's good enough for GA-class - I've nominated it for GA-status! Davnel03 21:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I have changed, according to his web-page, his nationality to Austrian. Than someone added Spanish and than you have removed Austrian. But the category still says Austrian race car driver. Have you any idea what is correct?

Also I want to ask you, if there is a policy, how to write the date and place of birth? Because I would prefer: (born January, 1 1900 in London - died January, 1 2000 in London) as first line after the name. But sometimes other wikipedians change this and take out the places. Doma-w 17:45, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the perfect idea with the invisible note. I have done the same on the page 2007 GP2 Series season and up to now nobody changed back! :) Doma-w 17:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Good work! DH85868993 11:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

		The Minor Barnstar
		I award you with the Minor Barnstar for that great improvement you made to the John Howett article in the form of the Toyota F1 infobox. Thanks Lradrama 09:42, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

You're very welcome!Lradrama 13:17, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, per your request on the WP:F1 talkpage, I've reviewed Forti. Sadly, it fails the criteria at the moment. I've posted comments & recommendations at both the Forti and WP:F1 talkpages explaining why. It's well on it's way though, and with some more work will easily make GA. Regards, AlexJ 13:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi - would you be happy if I put your name down against Autocourse from '84 to 2006 here? I can't imagine we'd be swamped with requests for information (there's not that many regular editors), but it is a risk, I suppose. 4u1e 17:20, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

P.S. Can I help at all with Forti?

You are doing a quick and excellent job getting this category off the ground - with names I'd never even heard of too. Thank you for your diligence. Guroadrunner 21:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Diniz - Yes, I agree that we could find more Potential Featured Pictures, problem is that the good ones are usually under the wrong CC license. But hey, we've got two FPs which is more then our "rival" sport projects :P. I did find a potential FP image on flickr ([1]), although, as you can see, it's not an F1 image. A good thing to do IMO, is to make a criteria at WP:MOTOR for images to be considered FP, wouldn't you say? --Phill ^{talk Edits} 14:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Duly noted for the sig thing and already fixed and also I get the feeling this maybe done quickly thanks to your euphuism. Anyway, I was thinking of perhaps some basic criteria, such as:

• Blur should only be in the Background of images taken at speed
• No fences or guard rail should ever occupy the image infront of the primary object, ie a car or driver
• Image's shouldn't really be tilted unless the circuit the photo has been taken on is very uneven, such as Brands Hatch or Spa-Francorchamps.

Anyway, that's as far as I got so far. Maybe the guys at WP:MOTOR have more ideas? --Phill ^{talk Edits} 15:41, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help here - I've reported him to WP:AIV so hopefully a block will be forthcoming! Pedro |  Chat  11:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Just got indef blocked, but I believe he was editing as an IP previously so watch this space...... Thanks again for you help, hope to see you round the 'pedia. Pedro |  Chat  11:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Posted a sockpuppet warning on that new user - I guess the edits will give us a clue - here we go again !!!Pedro |  Chat  11:41, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Just doin' my job. ;) --Captain Wikify ^Argh! 17:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Do you have permission to lock that page? It has been linked to on /b/ by someone.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidwnoble (talk • contribs)

Sure, that was disgusting..... Deflagro 16:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't think they're quite getting the picture here. What do you think? Trisar 11:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

thats a little too much red tape for me, i'll just delete it and when one of those bureaucrat wikiadministrators takes a look at it they'll realize that it was quite justified and then they will nominate it for deletion, thus saving me the needless miles of wiki-red tape which this site seems to love oh so much.

P.S. do you know how much i would have to donate to wikipedia to be allowed to do whatever i want on it, since thats really the only reason i was considering making a donation.

-TheCommish21

yeah i've heard that before....but what about donations. If i donate like 10,000 dollars can i delete some "articles" i dont like and make some of my own untouchable articles or would i have to donate 50,000 to get those types of priveledges?

-TheCommish21

Thanks for the revert. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 22:18, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm just responding to your message on my talk page. I wasn't logged in properly, so it was my mistake. Thank you for keeping an eye on things. Epousesquecido 13:24, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for machine translation, has noticed, that you look after page Rubens Barrichello, need in freshen a photo in colours Honda.

Thanks! It is a photo I already saw, here machine and his(its) head. Whether there is a photo only Рубенса for example as this - [2]

It is very a pity, if will appear at once whistle! :-)

Thks for your help! Lost Boy 06:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

i know thats the ideal way this is supposed to run and all but dont demean me by considering me so naive, if i offered to donate that much money to this "free encyclopedia" (which is "free" because there is no subscription not because people who donate money dont get special priveleges.) i mean basically as an administrator you have the power i'm talking about, the power to do whatever the hell you want and have no oversight. How much did it cost you to get that position?

Hi Diniz

Thank you very much for giving me the Barnstar award. It is very much appriciated!

Mark DG

Hi Diniz. Can you do me a favour? Can you tell me whether these templates appear collapsible to you (i.e. do they have a "hide/show" link in the top right-hand corner)? Because they don't for me. I'm asking you because we both saw the problem with template:Formula One Championship when others couldn't, so I think we might have similar setups on our machines. Thanks. DH85868993 02:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Great work! I have removed the {{prod}} template. DH85868993 12:49, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Diniz. You may or may not have noticed, but EliminatorJR reverted 5 of the changes you made to Zakspeed 841 yesterday. I don't know why - they seemed like perfectly reasonable edits to me. -- DH85868993 01:45, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi - nice work on the Zakspeeds. I think I'm just being contrary now, by continuing to fiddle around with the 861! However, does the 1986 Autocourse (I haven't got that one) give any info on why the Zakspeeds failed to finish so often? I can see what's in the race results (mostly engine, perhaps not surprisingly) but it would be nice to have a view from an official source. Thanks in advance. 4u1e 13:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Blimey - ta very much! That does flesh things out a bit, particularly the Rottengatter/Palmer relationship, although perhaps that's better suited to the Zakspeed article..... Anyway, thanks for your time and I think I can make use of some of that.4u1e 15:19, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

ok now no. This is going too far. You are free to delete comments from your discussion page, as i am free to delete stuff from my talk page.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.14.220.47 (talk • contribs)

Thanks for uploading Image:Spyker logo.jpg. 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 04:36, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that! By the way, where would I be able to find any good pictures to put into the article. I was looking for some of Flickr, but I don't know whether their against Wikipedia guidlines. Davnel03 09:23, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for those guidlines. Unfortunately, I can't find any photos on Flickr for the 2007 French round that are acceptable copyright to be uploaded to Wikipedia. Davnel03 09:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Congrats on finding my first secret page! Have you looked for the second?  hmwith  talk 22:16, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Wanted to leave a message, sorry for the deletion. Will use Sandbox next time—Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.87.179.98 (talk • contribs)

Have you ever been to The Loup? I doubt it, if you were you would agree with my description of it!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.131.173.241 (talk • contribs)

Hello, I see that I got a message, or rather several messages, that say I've been blocked for 24 hours for persistent spamming. In fact, I haven't made an edit in months, I've only done maybe 3 edits ever. So someone has apparently taken over this IP address; I"m not even signed in right now...let me know if there's something i can do. -t—Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.57.3.34 (talk • contribs)

Thanks very much for the barnstar! I really appreciate it, especially for doing something I really like to do. Plus it means a lot coming from you, so thanks :) Bretonbanquet 13:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry i actually never took a complete look at the website. and i am afraid that all other of my uploaded images are copyright violations....so what should i do? should i have mosley captured from my cam?????? --Adeelbutt88 ^talk 18:29, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
