thread_title: Another Justin Wilson

message: I am unhappy that it says he is from Sheffield, as I am 99.9% sure he is from Rotherham. I cannot find anywhere that says this plainly, so this must be checked by someone else.
In the Q & A bit on his website he says he is from Woodall.  It's got a Sheffield post code but it's really east of Sheffield and South of Rotherham.  For the sake of clarity I'd suggest leaving it as Sheffield!  http://www.justinwilson.co.uk/site.php?section=2&part=read&question=47
He may well have been born in Sheffield, as that is the place with the nearest maternity hospital, but his home village, Woodall, is definitely in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham - see Harthill, South Yorkshire (Most Rotherham areas have a Sheffield postcode) Jud 22:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject class rating

message: The article only states that he was dropped for financial reasons and ignores the fact he was rather disappointing during his time with the team. I know most articles tend to be slightly kind to the person being described, but I feel that as this is an encyclopedia such information should be included. At the moment the only source I have is rather poor http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:a4cDNJGkbfYJ:www.f1rejects.com/centrale/2003/review/others/index.html+justin+wilson+suzuka+2003&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=37&gl=uk
(note: And, worst of all, he was no more impressive in the Jaguar than Pizzonia had been) however looking at the relevant results shows that this was indeed the case. Any thoughts as to what should be added? Spenalzo (talk) 01:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason no one has found more credible sources for the information you put forth 7 years ago is because it simply does not exist. He had 5 races for Jaguar, 3 of which ended in mechanical failure, meaning it was at no fault of the driver like an accident or collision would be, while the other two times, he beat Mark Webber once (and got a point) and Webber beat him once.

thread_title:  Reasons for leaving Jaguar 

message: He seems to be out of a job now, but no word on that anywhere.  Just his omission in the NHL driver listing - they have 3 drivers listed in teh Indycar section for 2009 and none is Justin...--Amedeo Felix (talk) 13:35, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  2009 

message: In both the IZOD Indycar series and Champ car series, Wilson is listed as having won several races, but his Best Finishes are listed as 9th and 2nd, respectively. Is this referring to the championship? If so, it needs clarification.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.72.6 (talk) 09:10, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Best Finish? 

message: This article states: "a nose cone from Sage Karam's crashed car collided with Wilson's head" Just how many nose cones does a race car have - should be "the." Also, "collided with" doesn't sound right - struck would be better. It also hit his helmet, not his head directly (although I guess it could have penetrated).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.16 (talk) 19:22, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, when I wrote it, it was sort of a spur of the moment thing since the crash had happened a few hours earlier. It's been reworded. Zappa24Mati 04:00, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Really? 

message: in the opening paragraph it says "To date, he is the tallest person to have raced in Formula One" but there is no reference for that.  Can either a citation needed tag be addded, or a reference given. 194.28.124.55 (talk) 03:00, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tallest F1 driver? 

message: While there is indeed a source claiming Wilson was the tallest ever Formula One driver, I have removed this as Hans Joachim Stuck is taller than Wilson. Justin Wilson was 193 cm (6 ft 3 in) tall (, , ). Hans Joachim Stuck is (or at least used to be) 194 cm (6 ft 4 in) tall (, ). --SpeedKing (talk) 17:21, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
