Talk:2007 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season

message: I know in this day and age of commercialism, everything from the track names to the events themselves have been sold off to the highest bidder but, is it absolutely required to include the commercial name of the Grand prix here on Wikipedia? It smacks of advertising. As a motorsports purist, I prefer the original names such as the French Grand Prix or British Grand Prix rather than some commercial entity.Orsoni 16:09, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't think that applies here to be honest. If it did then you'd have to remove all the references from the Formula One pages as well and from all the NASCAR pages where they have the Nextel Cup, the Busch Series and the Craftsman Truck Series. Readro 02:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Since the official entry list has been released, isn't it would be more convenient to refer all of them to one reference page (1 for each class, so total of 3 reference page). These are the reference pages: MotoGP entry list, 250cc entry list and 125cc entry list. I personally prefer this because this would make the reference list more compact and simple.

message: It is official award, so I decided to mark. I don't think it deserve its own table though, so it's better mark them in the standings with different background colour.
Riders who are in their first full season are counted. For example Espargaro brothers had races last year, Aleix moved from 125cc to 250cc mid-season, Pol replaced Iannone starting from Brno after one wildcard appearance. They are both rookies according to motogp.com.BleuDXXXIV 11:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've been browsing around and find a form of sortable table from Serie A 2005-06#Classification article, maybe it is a good idea to implement this on the standings table, so that we can sort the finishing position from each race or total points as we wish. I don't know how the table works just yet, but if anyone thinks this is a good idea, I'm gonna try to implement this table. Martin tamb 07:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Flag of Valencia Autonomo community.png

message: After updating Japanese GP info, I found that article is over 375000 bytes. As a comparison, 2007 F1 season article is just over 300000. I think it could be good to decrease the size of article. Two options:
1. Split it so that there is own articles for each class
2. Especially in 125cc and 250cc, there are number of riders with only few races (and no points). They could possibly be removed and have different table, like this
Rider        	Positions
Kevin Coghlan	21st in Turkey, retired in Britain
Ivan Maestro 	22nd in Spain, 27th in Catalonia
Ricard Cardus	23rd in Czech Republic, injured in Portugal
