You and several other editors have done a fantastic job shaping the article so quickly after the first episode went to air. I look forward to seeing it grow with each new episode. 203.7.140.3 (talk) 03:48, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Formula One 2009 (video game), but we cannot accept original research.

Help with your userpage

Hi there. I saw the question you posted elsewhere; for future reference, if you're going to use {{helpme}}, please use it only on your own page.

As for your userpage, I will be happy to reformat it for you the way you would like. However, I charge a price for doing so: I want to see you make 25 constructive edits to mainspace (articles). Not spelling or grammar corrections; substantive additions of sourced material, including references to reliable sources. If these terms are favourable to you, I will be happy to make the changes after you make 25 edits. What do you say? [ roux ] [x] 04:07, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

sorry but I don't know of any articles I think need an edit. Mclarenaustralia (talk) 04:12, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

There's lots and lots and lots. [ roux ] [x] 04:26, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Rl2 wce.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Rl2 wce.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Fair use rationale for File:Rugby_League_2_WCE_Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Rugby_League_2_WCE_Cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 23:51, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of F1 Championship Season 2000

A tag has been placed on F1 Championship Season 2000 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

AfD nomination of F1 Championship Season 2000

I have nominated F1 Championship Season 2000, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/F1 Championship Season 2000. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Orphaned non-free media (File:F1 Championship Season 2000 PS2 Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:F1 Championship Season 2000 PS2 Cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:05, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Which I see you just happened to put in the blank template and he conveniently filled in. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:28, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Uh huh... that doesn't match up with what you originally told me. First you told me it was him, four minutes later you add the template, and now you're telling me you didn't know it was him? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
