Talk:Automobile Club de l'Ouest

message: I propose to re-instate the link to the 1955 Le Mans disaster. The ACO organised the 1955 Le Mans event, at which occurred the worst accident in motor racing history, with 84 fatalities. It led to many actions by the ACO to subsequently change the physical layout and buildings at the track. It also led to a change of ACO rules for the type of cars permitted at the 1956 event. A fuel-consumption formula was applied that year. Pretending that the ACO was not involved, in any way, does not fit the facts. See: Motor Year Book 1957, Temple Press, Pages 166-171. --Rupertlt (talk) 19:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  German 

message: The section on WW2 has been neutered by use of the passive - phrases like "were in ruins" do not explain how this came about, a mixture of allied bombing and German destruction by bulldozer and arson.

Talk:2007 24 Hours of Le Mans

message: I can't find it now but last year at this time I remember reading here at wikipedia that the traditional start time of 4 pm for the race was changed to 3 pm due to the desire to avoid viewer conflict with the World Cup. The race began at 3 pm again today. Do any of you members of the wiki sports car racing project know why this was? Has this become a permenant change? Do you think that it is worth a mention either here or on the main page for the race? Thanks ahead of time for any info that you can give as it is much appreciated.

thread_title: Starting time change

message: Just a few things left to do I think:
*From the Wednesday section:
:*"Marco Apicella was driving but came away uninjured."
:*"Marco Apicella was not allowed to drive due to head injuries sustained in the accident ..."
:Doesn't seem consistent.
*From the Finish section:
:*"After over an hour behind the safety car, the field was released to race one last time with only twelve minutes remaining. Without any actual need for racing, the field continued to run a slower than usual pace in preparation for the finish."
:I think this needs an explanation for why there was no need for racing.
*From the Finish section:
:*"In an attempt to ensure that the Peugeot finished, Bourdais stopped at the Ford Chicanes on the final lap, restarting once the #1 Audi had gone past to take the checkered flag."
:Again, I think this needs an explanation. Presumably he did that to stay out of trouble until the race was over. Was there a problem with the car that made the team doubtful that it could finish the race?
*From the Morning section:
:*"... the race-leading #2 Audi of Rinaldo Capello lost a left rear wheel ..."
:*"... Audi claimed that this was likely not the cause of the tire coming off ..."
:Which was it, the tire or the wheel?
*From the Test session section:
:*"The car could not return due to the damage which bent the chassis."
:The damage was the bent chassis, the damage didn't bend the chassis.
*From the Start section''
:*"The three Audis would eventually take over the lead during the opening hour before pit stops began."
:There are still some occasional problems with the tense.
*From the Morning section:
:*"the GT1-leading Aston Martin had also come off the track, damaging its front splitter."
:What's a "splitter"?

William Pidgeon  was then made a disambig page. If you want to arbitraily change William Pidgeon from a disambig page to a page on WEP again, that is fine (even if it shows poor understanding of naming convention) but you must also change all the redirects from William Edwin Pidgeon to William Pidgeon. If you do not make all the changes in all the articles that link William Edwin Pidgeon, I will assume that your action was based on a whim, and I will make William Pidgeon a disambig page again.
