Hallo

one tard has added template of speedy deletion. And later article was deleted. And I have question, how——to revert deleted data? Bcoz as I see, "history couldnt saved." here is an article btw here in the "first line of the result," u would see a beginning of deleted article..what a pity that hadnt cached at google. anyway, "there must be," a category when article should "speedy delete" and admins/some1 else must vote for deleete or make a decision. I don't believe that article can be delete. And data of that article too. there must be a log or history somewhere. But where? —Preceding unsigned comment added by, UnholyFreezz (talkcontribs) 10:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC) - Unholy Freezz —Preceding undated comment was added at 10:22, 21 January 2009 (UTC).

Here's my take on things:
  • Ironholds is not a tard
  • Your article was deleted via WP:CSD#A7, which meant your article data did not contain enough assertion of notability or importance of the band. Google search results aside, please read WP:NOT#MYSPACE as well as the several other notices regarding garage bands trying to self-promote via XIV.
  • You may seek an administrator (I am not an admin) to request deleted data be sent to you if you are nice when you request the information (and not calling people tards)
  • CSD is generally a process where a "new page patroller" (refer to WP:NPP) nominates an article for deletion and an administrator takes a look at the reason of CSD the nominator requests to delete - and makes a decision to delete. Generally articles that are CSD deleted are the ones that are simply and "blatantly violating XIV's many policies and guidelines." You may find a comprehensive listing of these polices and guidelines via the light blue navibox on my user page near the top right corner named "Key XIV Policies and Guidelines".
  • Thanks for stealing my signature...lol
I hope this helps. - Jameson L. Tai 16:02, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
I here solve, whom tard, whom - not ^_^ ok, ok he is not a tard, I just get heated.
bear no relation to that band, just listened some tracks.
So there is a chance that the data might be save?
How to know, which admin had decided to delete my article?
U are welcome :P
Ye, thanx

UnholyFreezz (talk) 12:48, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

You'll need to contact an administrator by looking at the administrator directory. The administrator should review your case and decide whether to give you that information. - Jameson L. Tai 19:57, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed with 80 support, 2 oppose, and 1 neutral. I appreciate all the comments I received and will endeavor to justify the trust the community has placed in me. R'n'B (call me Russ) 21:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Crawford v. Nashville revert

It seems you reverted my addition to Crawford v. Nashville summarizing the Court's opinion. (I am also the person who started the article, not that that means anything.) I think people would like to read what they had to say, because reasoning is important in Supreme Court cases. In your haste to revert, you also took out my updates to the info box, and my removal of the tag claiming judgment was pending. Why do you think this revert was necessary? 75.119.23.69 (talk) 08:35, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Sometimes Huggle will make erroneous edits, which I have went back, reviewed and fixed the edits made before and subsequently afterward. FYI the Current Court Case template is currently nominated templates for deletion. - Jameson L. Tai 08:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
At 8:41 you added my edits back, and then at 8:43, you took them out again? I'm confused. Also, Shadowjams has been adding his own edits, so I hope we resolve this before it gets any more confusing. 75.119.23.69 (talk) 08:59, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
It's really not confusing whatsoever. The tool that I am using is malfunctioning and the attempts in which I'm trying to fix is actually automatically undoing themselves. If you wish, you may attempt to restore your additions without changing the edits Shadowjams recently made. - Jameson L. Tai 09:05, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
I'll add the Decision section back, attempting to leave Shadowjams edits unchanged. I feared if I did that without discussing it with you we might have an edit fight on our hands. I think one of your malfunctioning tools just accused me of vandalism, by the way. 75.119.23.69 (talk) 09:09, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, those talk page warning messages are integrated with each other. - Jameson L. Tai 18:49, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

    2008

    Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The most famous Grand Prix is the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors.

    Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories, having won 91 times. Alain Prost, is second with 51 wins, and Ayrton Senna is third, with 41 wins. Michael Schumacher holds the distinction of having the longest time between his first win and his last. He won his first Grand Prix in 1992 at the Belgian Grand Prix, and his last in 2006 at the Chinese Grand Prix, a gap that spans 14 years, 1 month and 1 day. The youngest winner of a Grand Prix is Sebastian Vettel, who was 21 years, 73 days old when he won the 2008 Italian Grand Prix. Luigi Fagioli is the oldest winner of a Formula One Grand Prix; he was 53 years and 22 days old when he won the 1951 French Grand Prix.

    Rollback and stuff

    Hi

    Just saw your note (above), yes, since the first Stargate film I wished there was something like that on TV, Startrek:NG was ok, but never really made too much of an impression on me, apart form Data of course ! When the SG series started I was over the moon, always been a fan since then. AS for Mr Chow, well I have got 52 films with him in and apart from 2 or 3 they are something I can watch over and over and still laugh everytime. When I first saw Kung Fu Hustle I had to stop watching it at the knife scene when they are trying to kill the landlady and he stabs himself in the arm - I laughed for over 10 mins lol.

    SG:Universe - same here, I can't wait and have been avidly following develpments, I know there are those that will talk about it's similarity to Startrek but I don't care, the idea of exploring and discovering is much more exciting to me than to worry about who is doing it. Recent series' like Firefly etc haven't captured my imagination so rollon SG:Uiverse !! lol

    Hope all is ok with you, and I'll try and catch up with the robotics articles now the FR/FP/leave it the way it is arguments are dying down.--Chaosdruid (talk) 18:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

    Cool. I actually started creating some articles on basic mechanism topics. Revolute joint, Prismatic joint, Cylindrical joint, and Screw joint (so far) were four articles I started so far and I'd like more editors to help expand the articles, and hopefully get at least one of the four to become (hopefully) a DYK. Interested? - Jameson L. Tai 19:09, 4 February 2009 (UTC)


    Yup, I'm interested, will take a look later on though as my ex girlfriend is diabetic and ringing me every 20 mins due to complications with ther sugar levels today.
    lol sorry, I forgot to put in the question about rollbacks - I got distracted by her and the problem shes having. Basically, I have been using Twinkle to do roll backs as well as just clicking the rollback on page comparisons for various bad edits/vandalism, should I have asked for rollback rights first or is it ok to carry on using twinkle (sparingly I might add)
    --Chaosdruid (talk) 19:23, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
    Rollbacking rights on XIV is different from accessing similar rollbacking tool via Twinkle. You generally don't require rollbacking rights to use Twinkle, but it is suggested. Rollbacking via XIV should only be used for vandalism and is questioned if you use it improperly, while if you screw up with Twinkle you can just often just undo without too many critics watching your every move. - Jameson L. Tai 01:33, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
    Lol guess I'll keep on using twinkle for a while then till I get more used to the conventions and rules and regs !
    Hope all is well --Chaosdruid (talk) 02:05, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
    Still running on 3.5 hours of sleep for the past 72 hours or so... Yeah I still use TW even though have rollback rights unless I'm trying to report AN/I or AIV related rollbacks that I've already reported. If you think TW is cool, wait til you learn how to use Huggle. - Jameson L. Tai 02:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

    I know that feeling well lol - I did look at the huggle user guide but was one of my "I just can't stop editing - oh my god I've been up for 42 hours" days and it made my head hurt. I just added to the cylindrical joint page but was just "to" in the middle of a sentence. Good work on the pics btw ! Also added a little section to the prismatic joint discussion page - nice pics if you get time to look before you fall asleep in your chair lol

    Thanks for the input. I've been wondering if I've been explaining things wrong or was being unclear.  :) - Jameson L. Tai 03:15, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

    Appreciation

    Thanks for your assistance regarding Air travel, climate change, and green consumerism. I must admit, I've requested the page be moved to main namespace without making either of the changes you suggest. With regard to `see also' topics, I think it's fair to say that some pages are `general' and others more `specialized'. It's important for the `general' pages to have signposts towards the more `specialized' pages. I think it's less important for the specialized pages to have signposts towards the more general pages (in fact, it can be a nuisance as it can give the reader the mistaken impression that, unless they follow the links to the more general pages, they won't have covered all the material about the more specialized subject). I think the page I've written is at the specialized end of the spectrum --- hence no `see also' topics. With regard to the bullet points, they were already a last resort (I found it very hard to achieve both brevity and exact correctness using prose) --- hopefully, because the article is quite specialized, the page won't be visited too often and hence the poor style won't cause too much offence.

    Once again, I appreciate your assistance.

    D.Wardle (talk) 04:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

    Well, the best thing about creating your own article is you can set the See Also topics to whichever topic(s) you feel are closely related enough for you to list. I understand your point regarding the generalization of the topics and remember that this is an encyclopedia. Although it may not get as much traffic as a featured article - the quality, substance and depth should never be compromised because you expect low reader counts. :) - Jameson L.

    Venting

    Didn't mean to offend by venting, but I'm not sure how to vent and what template to use. I couldn't find a way to do it and I thought someone could help who's more familiar with it. How do I do it in the right way?Shunker (talk) 21:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)shunker

    You couldn't find a way to vent on XIV? If you have read the policies and guidelines on XIV, you should abide by these policies and guidelines. If you want to suggest something, you can take it to WP:VD. If you have problems with the content of a specific article, you may use the article's talk page to discuss changes, find consensus, and approach improvement with other editor(s). It seems like you're a new user who is frustrated by your inability to change something on an article, and repeatedly argue with several editors whenever he/she disagrees with you or point you to read something you don't feel like reading. I suggest you become familiar with how XIV before you request help again. If you don't know where to find help, on my userpage the top right box should contain the list of Key XIV Policies and Guidelines. That should be some light bedtime reading you can take on to familiarize yourself. Once you've completed that, you should be able to find your way around XIV. Remember that the {{helpme}} template is only for you do get help, not to vent. If you need guided assistance, I suggest you go on IRC and there are channels where experienced editors may help you or may direct you to someone who can. #wikipedia-en , #wikipedia-en-help . - Jameson L.

    Welcoming

    Hi Jamesontai! We're both part of the Account Creation Team, and just by random chance I happened to notice that your signature isn't coming out properly on the welcomes the bot leaves for you. See here for an example. It used to mess up my signature, too, and the only way I managed to fix it was by making sure my signature (on the tool) included only wiki markup (meaning it doesn't look like my normal signature).

    Wow, so I guess it's still happening. I thought I dealt with that problem weeks ago. We tested it and it worked. Or so I thought. I'll need to see if the code is faulty or if I seriously just cannot use a custom signature. Thanks for bringing it up to my attention. - Jameson L. Tai 11:29, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

    Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new Good Article

    The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari.

    Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil.

    The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

    Training material

    I've lost it again! Do you remember where you were working on it at? Get the link and I'll put it in my sandbox so that I don't have to ask again. Thanks, friend. -- Tyler D Mace (talk · contr) 10:55, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

    Just for clarification, I am talking about the wiki training stuff that you were adapting. You had it hidden away some where, nested deep in your user page, and even after searching for it, I couldn't find it. -- Tyler D Mace (talk · contr) 10:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
    Have you tried looking under Special:PrefixIndex? Is that my first piece of training? :) I'm pretty sure it's one of my sandboxes. Click on the little blue and yellow gears on the top right corner and it should list all of my sandboxes, which I think if I'm not mistaken it should be Sandbox 25. Have you talked to Roux yet? I think he updated some of the stuff when he came back. - Jameson L. Tai 20:39, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
    Thank you for the help. I haven't talked to roux yet; I'm just NOW logging into IRC for the first time since I left. Did you happen to see the little update on my userpage regarding a tweet of mine? Can I get your opinion on that and how it may affect me in the future if I was to push for adminiship? -- Tyler D Mace (talk · contr) 20:24, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
    I didn't see anything out of the ordinary - but then again I'm also sleep deprived after rushing projects all day... mind telling me what you're talking about? I should be on IRC btw.  :) - Jameson L. Tai 04:05, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

    Thank you for attempting to help Toaster wasn't... (talk). However, with the information this user had supplied - it was possible to give him/her better help - constructing the {{unblock-ip}} request using the IP address which the user had already supplied before you responded the second time. This user may havebeen confused about how to request an unblock using this template. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:25, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

    But it wasn't. I was on the Helpers Channel on IRC with other helpers on this issue. Although it is hard to understand someone's mindset especially when the user is new, it is much easier to ask the helper what it was before blatantly dismiss the helper's work (and telling me I could have done better). You have yourself a great day. - Jameson L. Tai 10:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

    Article of the month - 2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate.

    The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari.

    Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36 Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race.

    The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them, BMW Sauber and Ferrari. Ferrari still led by 15 points from McLaren, and 12 from BMW, whose drivers – Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica – finished fourth and seventh respectively.

    Article of the month - 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix, new Good Article

    The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally the V Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on April 6, 2008 at the Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the third race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 57 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team. Kimi Räikkönen was second in the other Ferrari, and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica was third.

    The race began with Kubica in pole position alongside Massa; Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of Fernando Alonso's Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field.

    Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season.

    Not bad actually. I spent a bunch of time on a robotics design project last year. I finally finished it and I'm going to Florida Atlantic University later this month to present it in a conference. With all of that going on I took a break from Wiki for two months. I hope now that it's done I'll have more time to get back into things.  :) Find me on IRC if you want. #wikipedia-en-robotics . - Jameson L. Tai 18:00, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

    Article of the month - 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new Good Article

    The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari.

    Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth.

    In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.

    Speedy Deletion of Ohio Jobs & Growth

    Jameson, I have to contest the speedy deletion of Ohio Jobs & Growth Plan because the information in question is not copyrighted, but rather the text of a Constitutional amendment proposed in Ohio (public record, government information). Mogul761 (talk) 16:21, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

    Public document copies should be posted in WikiSource, not XIV. - Jameson L. Tai 16:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

    Thank you. I will re-create the page once it is deleted with references to the amendment text but not the information itself. Mogul761 (talk) 16:27, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

    I would say that since the information can be cross-wikied (such as wikisource:A specimen of the botany of New Holland</nowiki>) you really don't need to recreate it at all. This way you save yourself from summarizing a duplicate copy. - Jameson L. Tai 16:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

    Article of the month - 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new Featured Article

    The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari.

    Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth.

    The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

    Alumni Sorting

    The (relatively) new template {{alum/start}} didn't have a sortable parameter. And I think that some parserfunctions may have changed as well. The question is, do we want to enable sorting by default? I designed the original template, and that's how I had it, and I doubt anyone is going to object to that feature. —Disavian (/contribs) 18:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

    I'm pretty sure I was for auto-sorting when I asked about it a few months back. It'd be nice to have. - Jameson L. Tai 07:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
    I went ahead and added it. Have a look at a relevant list... for example List of Georgia Institute of Technology alumni. —Disavian (/contribs) 09:21, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

    Article of the month - 2008 French Grand Prix, current Good Article nominee.

    The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota.

    Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third.

    Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

    Jack Brabham leads a group of cars during the first lap of the 1963 Dutch Grand Prix.

    Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment.

    The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship.

    The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

    Article of the month - 1995 British Grand Prix, currently listed for a Peer Review.

    The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on July 16, 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 61 laps, was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after starting from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season.

    The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

    Article of the month - DAMS GD-01, current Peer Review nominee

    The DAMS GD-01 was an unraced Formula One car used by the French motorsport team, Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport (DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS and Reynard engineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.

    WikiProject Universities COTM

    I'm interested in reviving COTM. If you don't have the time, I'd gladly take stewardship over it until you'd like to spearhead it again. Since the "current" COTM from Dec/Jan still hasn't been nominated for GA status, perhaps we could add a secondary objective to future COTM announcements that is easier to attain, like improving some stub or start class articles. That would be particularly useful for editors who would like to participate but just happen to know very little about the one big article that's on its way from B to GA status. Let me know what you think. -Mabeenot (talk) 02:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

    Wow, I'm glad finally someone decided to revive the program. WP:UNI/COTF used to have three objectives, something like what you're thinking about. Take the initiative and start the program back up. I'll pop in every once in a while to help out if you need me. - Jameson L. Tai 02:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

    Article of the month - Fittipaldi Automotive, current Good Article Review

    Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative Copersucar. In 1976 Emerson surprised the motor racing world by leaving the title-winning McLaren team to drive for the unsuccessful family outfit. Future world champion Keke Rosberg took his first podium finish in Formula One with the team.

    The team was based in São Paulo, almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) away from the centre of the world motor racing industry in the UK, before moving to Reading, UK during 1974. It participated in 119 grands prix between 1975 and 1982, entering a total of 156 cars. It achieved 3 podiums and scored 44 championship points.

    Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Peer Review candidate.

    The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008 at the Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary. It was the eleventh race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team after starting from second position. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was also Glock's first podium finish.

    Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten into the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.

    Article of the month - List of Formula One drivers, kept at Featured List status after review

    Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. Drivers are awarded points based on their position in each race, and the driver who accumulates the most points over each calendar year is crowned that year's World Champion. As of the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there have been 820 FIA World Championship races since its first event, the 1950 British Grand Prix.

    Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most championships, while his 91 wins, 154 podium finishes and 68 pole positions are also records. Rubens Barrichello has entered more Grands Prix than anyone else—288 times in total—as well as having made an unsurpassed 284 race starts. The United Kingdom is the most represented nation, having produced a total of 157 different drivers. Eight nations have been represented by just one. Poland became the latest country to be represented by a driver when Robert Kubica made his Formula One debut at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix.

    Hi. We've got a very lively collaboration going on at Cal Poly Pomona. Since you voted for it back in 2008, I thought you might like to help out. -Mabeenot (talk) 03:30, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

    Happy new year

    Hi m8 - one year on since I fist had contact with you and it seems like you have dissapeared for a while I am starting to review the unassessed articles, and maybe move on to re assessing some of them, as well as adding my first contraversial edit to a robotics page !


    EATR - it really is a dodgy subject lol - I added that the project creators actually have "chicken fat" as a fuel source (from their own project overview documentation)

    Anyway I hope all is well with you and you arent working too hard on making little robots to take over the world in your evil lab lol

    Best wishes for this year and hope to see you back soon

    Article of the month - Grand Prix 2, current Peer Review

    Grand Prix 2, sometimes known as "GP2" and sold in the American market as Grand Prix II, is a racing simulator released by MicroProse in 1996. It was made under an official FIA license that featured the Formula One 1994 season, with all of the circuits, teams, drivers and cars. The cars were painted with liveries reflecting the races that did not allow tobacco and beer sponsors (i.e. 1994 French Grand Prix).

    It had 3D texture mapping and SVGA graphics, as well as an early but realistic physics engine. A large community of GP2 enthusiasts formed quickly and still exists today. Grand Prix 2 is recognized as one of the definitive racing simulations of its era.

    Hello !

    I am a faculty member in France. My domain is computer science and geometric modelling. I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I submitted it to many colleagues from various domains who couldn't help. I just saw your wikipage about the prismatic joint and may be you know the solution or have suggestions. Would you agree that I send you my problem and you tell me what you think (it's about how to check - with a program - that a part can serve as a guide for another part, so that the only degree of freedom for the guided part is a given translation).

    Thank you in advance for your time.

    PS : please answer to

    Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Featured Article candidate.

    The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and Glock's first podium finish.

    Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.

    Greetings.

    JamesonLTai - I like the work that you have done on XIV. Timeoin (talk) 13:36, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

    No, thank YOU!

    Hey, thanks for the note on my talk page re: your visitor's book! I'm so impressed by your abilities and your Userpage really is great! Myself, I don't even know how to store old messages on my talk page. I'm one of the older, computer-challenged set here on XIV, but if ever there is something I can do to assist you, let me know! I specialize in the biographies of musicians, and photographs for those articles, as well as the article rescue group. I love your barnstar for that.. takes a lot, I know! Blessings! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 18:00, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

    Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I've been involved with other MediaWiki projects, most recently one that closely relates to the game that I play online. My involvement with XIV has been slowly declining for quite a while now. Thanks for your message! :) - Jameson L. Tai 00:29, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

    Article of the month – Ayrton Senna, current B-Class article.

    Ayrton Senna da Silva, (pronounced ; São Paulo, March 21, 1960, – Bologna Italy May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and three-time Formula One world champion. He was killed in a crash while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, and remains the most recent Grand Prix driver to die at the wheel of a Formula One car.

    Senna began his motorsport career in karting and moved up the ranks to win the British Formula 3 championship in 1983. Making his Formula One debut with Toleman in 1984, he moved to Lotus-Renault the following year, and won six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. In 1988 he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda. Between them, Senna and Prost won fifteen out of the sixteen Grands Prix which took place that season, with Senna winning his first World Championship, a title he would go on to win again in 1990 and 1991. McLaren's performance declined in 1992, as the Williams-Renault combination began to dominate the sport, although Senna won five races to finish as runner-up in 1993. He moved to Williams in 1994, but suffered a fatal accident at the third race of the season at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy.

    Senna is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One. In 2009, a poll of 217 current and former Formula One drivers chose Senna as their greatest Formula One driver, in a survey conducted by British magazine Autosport. He was recognised for his qualifying speed over one lap and from 1989 until 2006 held the record for most pole positions. He was among the most talented drivers in extremely rain-affected conditions, as shown by his performances in the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix, and the 1993 European Grand Prix. He also holds the record for most victories at the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix (6) and is the third most successful driver of all time in terms of race wins. However, Senna courted controversy throughout his career, particularly during his turbulent rivalry with Alain Prost, which was marked by two championship-deciding collisions at the 1989 and 1990 Japanese Grands Prix.

    Mark Webber became the first driver since Kimi Räikkönen in 2005 to win two consecutive races by leading every lap in the process, when he won the Spanish and Monaco Grands Prix.
    Article of the month – Bruce McLaren, current Start-Class article.

    Bruce Leslie McLaren (30 August 1937 – 2 June 1970), born in Auckland, New Zealand, was a race-car designer, driver, engineer and inventor.

    His name lives on in the McLaren team which has been one of the most successful in Formula One championship history, with McLaren cars and drivers winning a total of 20 world championships. McLaren cars totally dominated CanAm sports car racing with 56 wins, a considerable number of them with him behind the wheel, between 1967 and 1972 (and five constructors’ championships), and have won three Indianapolis 500 races, as well as 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring.

    As a nine year old, McLaren contracted Perthes disease in his hip which left his left leg shorter than the right. He spent two years in traction, but later often had a slight limp.

    Les and Ruth McLaren, his parents, owned a service station and workshop in Remuera, Auckland. Bruce spent all of his free hours hanging around the workshop. The McLaren family homestead is located in Ngaruawahia in the Northern Waikato region and still stands today.
