message: That was a bit harsh, sure User:Mwyres could have used the preview function once or twice instead of all of those little saves, but what exactly was unconstructive about it? --Falcadore (talk) 03:06, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Yeah - probably should have sandboxed or previewed, but have had a bad case of "big fat fingers" the last few days, with an injured finger! Mwyres (talk) 03:49, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry to be a party-pooper, but one comment above by User:Cwr09 threatens to make this even messier, and might even explain why we're in a mess now. To whit:
...the text from the old WR article has already been integrated into the HRT article, so no real need to keep the history. 
Wrong. And I see that User:Brady has already commented to this effect. But I think it's very important that all editors be aware of our copyleft requirements.
Our commitment to being free content is not negotiable. If you're unsure as to this, or to why edit histories are important in achieving this, I can provide links. Andrewa (talk) 05:36, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: This article should have been merged into the Walkinshaw Racing article, rather than having the WR article merged into this one. This article should then either redirect to Walkinshaw Racing, or be turned into a disambiguation page pointing to the WR article and to Triple Eight Race Engineering (Australia). – Kytabu 04:49, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: WR has announced it will reveal its new branding on 6 February. Suggest this discussion be put on hold until after this, after all it could be another name again. Impala27 (talk) 05:04, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: For all the ranting and raving, it does seem that the consensus to rename is unanimous (4-0 by my count) after 5 months. What more does it need, a papal blessing? Maybe the suggested option of merging the HRT text into the WR article is a better option. Forgive me for not being overly interested in the behind the scenes bureaucracy, I’m sure there are reasons for it (no need to tell me why), but I shall scratch my vote and will leave for others to decide, what if any, course action need be taken.

replies: text: With the team having had its official launch and referring to itself as Walkinshaw Racing, albeit under the Mobil 1 HSV brand for commercial reasons,  should the existing text at Holden Racing Team now be copied over to Walkinshaw Racing and the former set as a redirect to the latter? Would satisfy all the technical issues raised above. Impala27 (talk) 01:59, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Manually copying and pasting one article to another to achieve a page move is specifically against Wikipedia guidelines because of the destruction of editting history. Re-write the article, then do a requested move. --Falcadore (talk) 22:17, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Show stopper

message: With the team having confirmed it will be rebranded (again), this article will again need to be renamed to Walkinshaw Andretti United. New name won't take effect until 1 January 2018, so nothing should happen until then. Although there is also a change in the ownership structure that sometimes in the past has resulted in a new article being started, e.g. Glenn Seton Racing becoming Ford Performance Racing, think this one should just be renamed. Precedent when Dick Johnson Racing had a change in ownership structure and a rebrand as DJR Team Penske at the beginning of with that article renamed. Impala27 (talk) 04:29, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Seconded, I think the article should just be renamed. The difference is Ryan Walkinshaw still has significant shares in the team, when Prodrive (then FPR) bought out Glenn Seton, they did it outright. FullHouse97 (talk) 08:42, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
