Talk:Georges Matheron

message: The section on geostatistics suffers heavily from original research. It contains many controversial assertions that are not backed by citations. The tone also approaches POV promotion; In particular, it seems to state more things that the subject did NOT do than those that he did do. It seems to me irrelevant to Wikipedia what the subject did not do. Renato (talk) 09:31, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Houston Chronicle/Texas Media Watch as source debate

message: I'm not removing them for being conservative or liberal.  I'm removing them for being a small (probably one-person) outfit who is not sufficiently notable to garner a reasonable number of Google hits and who is therefore not worthy of being used as a source of criticism of one of the 10 largest newspapers in the United States.  Johntex 03:29, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Your rationale is still POV in and of itself. Unscientific google tests and personal opinions on what constitutes a "worthy" source are not valid reasons for an edit. In its current form the 1-sentence reference on TMW includes both their comment on the Chronicle scandal and a neutral qualifier describing them in a way that neither promotes nor disparages them as a source. Katefan et al wanted descriptions of what TMW was, albeit in a multi-sentence qualifier w/ extensive POV. While this is unacceptable for obvious NPOV reasons, I can oblige the request by identifying Sylvester & her republican affiliation in a neutral way. Rangerdude 03:40, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Um, no, my rationale is logical in and of itself.  Encyclopedias cite reputable sources.  If this was some esoteric subject that only 10 people in the world knew about or understood, then a single-person "media group" might qualify as a source.  There is nothing "unscientific" about checking Google to see how well-known/prevelant a person/group/concept is.  One merely needs to apply the appropriate filter.  For example, one should expect more hits the name of a porn site or computer program than one would on a town in Nigeria, due to the representation of web pages referenced by Google.  In this case, a US-based media group that gets this few hits is simply not worth quoting here.  It is becoming increasingly clear you are desperate to find quotes that disparage the Chronicle, from any source whatsoever.  Johntex 03:48, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

message: While all statements in this section are certainly correct, I wonder whether similarly comprehensive sections about the safety issues of furniture and other items of daily can be found in the respective articles. I believe not.

Talk:Bo Hanson (Left Behind)

message: Bo Hanson's character has significance within these books because of his relationship to the other characters and the moral implication of his treatment, I believe.  I have updated the page with additional information and some better language than the original.  All information given comes from the Left Behind books; I can't see a need to cite in this circumstance since it should be fairly obvious but I have not removed the citation request in case someone feels the need to dig up specific page numbers.  It's certainly not an orphan but I think additional linking between character pages should be encouraged.  If smaller character pages are going to be deleted, someone needs to compile the information in a single page elsewhere, not just tag them for deletion without discussing it.  As that page would likely become immense due to the number of smaller characters, I'm in favor of keeping them separate. 65.25.107.20 10:31, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:1951 French Grand Prix

message: Why did Fangio and Fagioli practically "switch cars" mid-race? 
And which of the two drivers had the highest average speed (per lap, say) on their resp. two partial rides put together (and could thus be considered the "moral single winner" of the race)? --Roentgenium111 (talk) 21:17, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Fangio's car suffered some kind of problem, so when Fagioli pitted for fuel, the team put Fangio (the faster driver - see their qualifying times) in the car, presumably both to maximise the car's result in the race, and to try to score some points for Fangio, who was second in the championship at the start of the race. The team eventually fixed Fangio's car and sent Fagioli back out, albeit 20 laps behind, perhaps in the hopes of delaying the Ferraris(?) or perhaps hoping to pick up some points if there were a lot of retirements. I don't have access to the individual lap times, but my guess is that Fangio would have had the higher average speed. As for  the "moral single winner" of the race, I think that's a moot point: Fangio certainly wouldn't have won the race without Fagioli and I suspect Fagioli wouldn't have won it without Fangio.

Talk:1961 French Grand Prix

message: "though both Farina and Parsons had competed at future World Championship races before the creation of the championship," Should future be past, or before be after, and championship be Championship?
:It's intended to mean that both Farina and Parsons had competed at events which would, in the future, become World Championship races (e.g. Parsons had competed in the 1949 Indianapolis 500 and Farina had competed in the 1948 Monaco Grand Prix). I agree the wording is somewhat ambiguous. Regarding the capitalisation of "championship", when the word is written as part of "World Championship" or "Drivers' Championship", it's usually capitalised, when it's written as "the championship", it varies from article to article.

Talk:1971 French Grand Prix

message: See also Race result on racing-reference.info --Mark McWire (talk) 09:14, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't been able to find any explanation. Neither Motor Sport, grandprix.com or Mike Lang's Grand Prix! make any mention of the race being "extended" to 55 laps or the chequered flag being waved 1 lap late or anything like that; all the sources I can find just seem to indicate that the race was always planned to be 55 laps in length. (And likewise, their reports about the 1973 race make no mention of why the race distance was 54 laps from then onwards). My best guess is that the note at racing-reference.info is just supposition on their part. DH85868993 (talk) 10:06, 25 July 2023 (UTC)

text: Actually, I may have found a possible explanation. 1973 Formula One season says "Another change to the rules introduced this season was the cars doing a full warm-up lap before the race. Prior to this, tracks included a dummy grid a short distance behind a grid proper, and the cars would simply move from one to the other to begin the race.". So perhaps that's why the  1973 French Grand Prix (and subsequent French GPs at Paul Ricard) were 54 laps rather than the 55 laps of the 1971 race; to make allowance for the warmup lap. I note that similarly the 1973 British Grand Prix was 67 laps, rather than the 68 laps of the 1971 race. Having said that, several other 1973 races (German, Austrian, Italian, Canadian, US) retained the number of laps from the previous race on the same circuit, so who knows?
