Eastern Creek Raceway

As Oran Park has hosted a World Superbike Championship round, I think that means Sydney has more than one international circuit. --Falcadore (talk) 07:37, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Signature

Hi Cheetaih. Welcome to Wikipedia. Just to let you know: you only need to add your signature when adding messages to talk pages, not when you add content to an article, as you did here. Cheers. DH85868993 (talk) 01:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another little tip: You don't need to add a description of the changes you have made to the article's talk page - people can see the changes you have made from the article history and from your edit summaries. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at my talk page. DH85868993 (talk) 10:40, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Signature help

In response to your comment, you should only put your signature on user pages. Just like the page you are on now, you must sign your name with when you are done. You don't need to do it for a discussion page or an article. If you need any more help, please contact me. --Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Fan (talk) 13:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Much as I hate to disagree with another editor, you really should sign comments on a discussion page. Pyrope 12:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

It's not necessary to write all the changes you made on the discussion page, like you did here - that's what the edit summary is for. 203.48.66.134 (talk) 08:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop doing it. It just clutters up the talk pages. 121.45.167.195 (talk) 02:16, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Adelaide International Raceway, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.adelaideraceway.com.au/about_us.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:28, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page edits

Cheetaih, please stop adding descriptions of the changes you have made to the article to the talk page, as you did here and here and use edit summaries instead. DH85868993 (talk) 12:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Much better. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 13:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Show Preview

Is it possible you could use the 'Show Preview' button instead 'Save Page' for on the run edits and save only when there is no more to be done? It will cut down on the number of versions of each article that are saved away on Wikipedia's servers, saving significant space. --Falcadore (talk) 04:55, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Template:DTM 2008

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Template:DTM 2008|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

I've placed this here as you appear to have saved off an article as a template accidentally, I'm not sure what you were trying to achieve but this sort of testing should be done in a sandbox rather than creating a page. Falcadore (talk) 00:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Stubs

Hi, I noticed you adding stub tags to a lot of motorsport articles. Stubs are for very short articles - generally less than two paragraphs. The articles you are adding them to are not stubs generally - certainly not the articles on Silverstone, Spa and Donington. Take a look at Wikipedia:Stub for more info. -mattbuck (Talk) 08:48, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Also, please don't add links to F1 knowledge - this website does not pass WP:EL as it is not a useful resource for people viewing the article, and is also an advertising site. -mattbuck (Talk) 09:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
