Article of the month - 1995 Japanese Grand Prix, recent Good Article promotion and failed Featured article candidate. The 1995 Japanese Grand Prix (officially known as the XXI Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 29, 1995 at the Suzuka Circuit, Suzuka. It was the 16th and penultimate race of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 53 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from pole position. Mika Häkkinen finished second in a McLaren, and Johnny Herbert third in the other Benetton. Schumacher won his ninth race of the season, which equalled Nigel Mansell's record for victories in a season that was set in 1992. As both the Williams cars retired from the race, Benetton were confirmed as Constructors' Champions as Williams could not pass Benetton's points total with only one race remaining. Jean Alesi, driving for Ferrari, started second beside Schumacher. However, since his car had moved forward before the start, he was forced to serve a 10-second stop and go penalty. Alesi climbed up to second, before retiring on lap 25. (More...)

Please see WP:CANVAS for rules on mass posting. And use common sense; i've never contributed to malay-related articles, so why would I need a newsletter?

In addition, I'd advise getting someone who's first language is english to edit it just for ease-of-use. Ironholds 19:24, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and wikipedia newsletters are designed for news about the project, not whatever country the project is based on. I'd advise taking this to wikinews instead. Ironholds 19:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I would be interested in creating such a WikiProject. However, I would prefer it if it was created as a taskforce of WikiProject Football, in a similar vein to WP:LFC. – PeeJay 12:04, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Sweet. I'll try to keep up to date with the latest goings on with this Project. But could you please tell me when you submit the idea to the WikiProject approval board? – PeeJay 12:24, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:FOOTY has a link to a list of its members and the clubs they support. If you go through the list and send messages to all of the Man Utd fans on there, I'm sure you'll get a response from some of them. You should also put a message at WT:FOOTY. – PeeJay 12:36, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

I've put a message on the talk page of every Wikipedian who had Man Utd listed as their favourite team in the WP:FOOTY participants list. Had one reply so far. – PeeJay 10:36, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, what did you find? and you posted at User talk/page, by the way, not User talk. Ironholds 12:57, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I added some references to Dave Windass. You may want to revisit XIV:Articles for deletion/Dave windass. --Eastmain (talk) 01:41, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know, I removed your prod tag from this article because imho it's a very encyclopedic entry, especially compared to most new articles about radio stations. Thingg 04:07, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

For some reason I thought radio stations were inherently notable. :/ Thingg 04:18, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

heh no, I meant inherently notable in the way cities and towns are. apparently they aren't. Thingg 04:22, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm not saying that radio stations are inherently notable. I'm saying I thought they were, but apparently, based on the Wikiproject page, they aren't. (as far as I know, there's no official policy on the notability of radio stations) So basically, your prod was correct and I was incorrect in removing it. If you want to replace it, go right ahead. My apologies for the trouble. Thingg 04:31, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

 Done you have been reviewed. (evil laughter) heh. Sorry it took so long, my internet's been acting up... Cheers and good night. (well, at least I'm going to bed. It's 1:40 AM where I live :O ) Regards. Thingg 05:41, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if you've seen the article in its new & improved form yet, but there're much more sources now. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • 16:01, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month: Forti (current GA candidate) Forti Corse, commonly known as Forti, was an Italian motor racing team chiefly known for its brief, and unsuccessful, involvement in Formula One in the mid-1990s. It was established in the 1970s and competed in lower formulae for two decades, with some success. The team graduated to F1 as a constructor and entrant in 1995 and continued into 1996, before succumbing to financial problems mid-season. The team competed in a total of 27 Grands Prix, scoring no points, and is recognised as one of the last truly privateer teams to race in an era when many large car manufacturers were increasing their involvement in the sport.
