Talk:Milka Duno

message: The first paragraph can't be right. It says she moved to the US at 27, but began racing in Venezuela at 31. --MartinUK 23:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: First paragraph?

message: Should more be made of the fact the Daytona thing involved her driving virtually never, doing very badly and her 2 brillitan teammates getting that position?  And the fact that's she's REALLY been embarassing in IRL? Duds 2k 21:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Drdisque beat me to it. Anyway, my comments:  The sentence referencing 24 Hours of Daytona should definitely be modified to note that it was a team and not an individual effort (every other driver's page I recall seeing always mentions the team and other drivers) - so I've now modified the page to reflect that. Controversy over her acclaim can certainly be included (in that same area) as long as references are provided. However, that achievement is something the media promulgates and thus she is known for. As for the current IRL season: The article already notes she is on probation, so excepting a race-by-race history, her IRL struggle is documented. Keep in mind this is an encyclopedic entry. -Sesameball 03:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Daytona?

message: My update about her being put on probation by the IRL was removed by another user with the reasoning "the deleted statement is not true, per Milka Duno's PR manager". Her probation was clearly stated by multiple media sources, one of which I clearly cited, so I have re-added my update. I would like to see any cited reference which states that she was not in fact put on probation. I have left the statement from user who deleted my original update - that she had intended to miss KTY - but that needs to be cited as well. --Sesameball 03:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said, she was NOT put on probation AFTER the MIS race.  She's been on probation pretty much since Indy.  Your citation was very careful in NOT saying that the probation was due to the MIS performance.  I've met Curt on a few occasions, and Curt would've said that it was due to MIS if that in fact was the case.  My sources are Milka herself, and her PR team.  I've published an article with their response, and now I cite it here.  Worse yet, your edit made it seem like the absence from Kentucky was due to this probation, when in fact, it was not.  Therefore, I make changes to reflect the truth as told by my sources, which are a bit better than a cite from the Indy Star.  Do you want this article to be truthful, or do you want it in accordance to your "multiple media sources" which you mis-cite?Twohlford 00:41, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  If your objection was to the timing of the probation, then why would you delete the entire reference to her probation and declare it as untrue? That was the issue as I perceived it. If you have an objection to when the act occurred as opposed to the media announcement, I have no problem with a correction. That information isn't available to me, and apparently it's available to you; in that same vein, if you have alternative sources to add to support the statement, I have no problem with that either. As for the issue of withdrawing from KTY, the probation reports and the track listing came out the same day, so I lumped them into the same update (I had them by the corresponding date initially), and again, a clarification to prevent misunderstanding is not something I have a problem with. In any case, I truly hope that any question of whether I want the article to be truthful is just a lame attempt at being facetious. --Sesameball 04:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As long as we are in agreement, that is fine.  My last comment was unfortunate -- I'm tired of a story getting legs and being "widely reported" even when it is wrong. Twohlford 04:32, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Does she still have a ride? Bell was driving the 23 car this weekend.
From the article:"For 2008, Duno signed with Dreyer & Reinbold Racing with another partial season schedule (announced as 11 races in 2008) also sponsored by Citgo. Upon testing alongside veteran teammate and former Indy 500 winner Buddy Rice, Duno began to show a bit of improvement. Townsend Bell was signed as the driver of the Dreyer & Reinbold #23 during the seven races Milka was not scheduled to drive it in 2008."--MartinUK (talk) 07:56, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. Right in your quoted section it says Duno and Bell are sharing a ride in the 2008 season. If you think there's a better way to say it, feel free. ZueJay (talk) 21:52, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ride?

message: I have nothing against female racers (Danica and Sarah are perfectly capable in the cockpit) or racers from Venezuela (Ernesto Viso and Pastor Maldonado are both GP2 Series winners), but Milka is slow, slow, slow, and to learn that she has been signed by NEWMAN/HAAS/LANIGAN is a bit disturbing! Paul Newman must be spinning in his grave! I hope it's just a matter of getting the sponsorship checks (I know Renault signed backmarker Sakon Yamamoto, but I later discovered that he will only do demonstrations, and was hired to get his sponsor on the cars), and then keeping Robert Doornbos in the car (one would think that ING and Red Bull's funding would be enough!).
IndyCar Racing is trying to make a comeback. Now that we have a long list of competent drivers (more than 25), we don't need field fillers like Marty Roth, Jon Herb, and Milka to maintain car counts. You referenced the article mentioning that she was showing a bit of improvement; why would a team think it's worth the wait to "develop her driving" when guys like Justin Wilson, Ryan Hunter-Reay, Paul Tracy, and Buddy Rice (who can be fast immediately) are all sitting on a crowded bench waiting for a ride?
Sorry; forgot to sign!

replies: text: Correct. As Roth is not an ex-model, he has been barred from competing in the series again.--MartinUK (talk) 14:45, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
