What does this mean? GameLegend (talk) 12:16, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm really not sure what you think you mean by "can be worth millions". Wikipedia pages are never worth anything. I think you are adding too many images, and it makes the page hard to read. Let's see what other people think. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:20, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

replies: text:  :This page is about a person. I would think that anything more than 2 or 3 images of the subject of the article is unnecessary. There is 'room' for perhaps a couple of significant cars driven or significant events but columns of pictures squeezing the text is not the required standard. (Oh. & me too!)

message: The webpage http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/archive/f1/nc/1962/1962.html#mex indicates that Clark took over Trevor Taylor's Lotus 24 in this race. However, the race is discussed at length at http://forums.autosport.com/topic/54520-non-champ-mexican-gp/ and Taylor's car was definitely a Lotus 25, as mentioned in several contemporary race reports and confirmed by data in the possession of author and Lotus historian Doug Nye. The silhouet data is a typographical error - note that the chassis number is given as 'R2', which is a Type 25 designation, not a Type 24. Halmyre (talk) 17:06, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: this (no idea as to it's reliability) and this also state Lotus 25. Eagleash (talk) 12:53, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: 1962 Mexican Grand Prix

message: I've removed the 1967/1968 entry for the European F2 Championship. Clark wasn't eligible for championship points so it's pointless(!) to have a section relating to his results for it. I have renamed the section as 'NOTABLE Formula Two Championship results' and included the 1965 Trophees de France, for which he was eligible, is the only year in which he won it, and the only F2 championship he ever won. Halmyre (talk) 12:14, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I would have to to disagree on this one. The European Formula Two Championship was a very notable racing series (definitely in the early years). Formula one drivers took part in the series through the 1970's. A driver was ineligible for EC-points if they had scored points in the Formula one World Championship. In all fairness, the European Championship is way more notable than the French Championship. Even if Clark was ineligible for points. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 12:27, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  By all means list his F2 race record (I'm working on that; 50 races in 6 seasons, 16 wins), but there's no point in listing his performance in a Championship for which he isn't eligible, however noteworthy it is. After all, the official records for the Championship don't mention Clark. Incidentally, the 1965 Trophees de France wascomprised of four races at Pau, Reims, Rouen and Albi, any of which are notable circuits in themselves, and Clark competed against the likes of Rindt, Brabham, Hill, Hulme and Stewart, so it wasn't an inconsequential award. Halmyre (talk) 13:13, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Clark also competed againts the likes of Surtees, Mclaren, Brabham, Hill and Stewart in the European Championship races. Just beacuse he was ineligible for points doesn't mean the results are not notable. The European Championship is notable enough for results even though a driver is not listed in the championship standings. We also display non-Championship F1 races and drivers so I don't see why we should not display his European Championship results just because he was not eligible for points. Jahn1234567890 (talk) 16:11, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree the F2 championship results should be retained. To remove them would mean multiple pages would also have to be altered in respect of the graded drivers of the time. As it stands this is a mass change without seeking consensus. Eagleash (talk) 22:06, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree; I don't see how Clark's eligibility or otherwise for a championship affects the importance of his race results. Some F1 drivers were occasionally ineligible for points in GPs but their results are always shown. Eagleash is right that it's an issue that affects a lot of articles so a wider consensus would be required anyway. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:23, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  In which case we should include all his F2 results, as I proposed earlier.  The races chosen for the 1967 and 1968 F2 Championship are only a subset of all the F2 races in those years, and Clark's results for the 1967 Championship races aren't particularly special - 1 win and 3 retirements aren't representative of his F2 career. Halmyre (talk) 22:53, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Include them all then; they must surely all be available. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:00, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
