Honda R800 and R1300[edit]

I reverted your original edit to Template:Honda because you included Mugen Motorsports and Hirotoshi Honda which aren't really related to Honda at all. I also did it because I did do a Google search on Honda R800 and Honda R1300, but didn't find any information on either of these. Can you show me some reliable sources that tell what these two vehicles are? Would love to get rid of the red links and start actual articles for them. roguegeek (talk·cont) 18:51, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

These two are racecars of the 1960's, I included them because the HSV-010 GT is listed there, which will never be intended for production. As for reliable sources, its not easy unless somebody have a good knowledge in Japanese and have access to magazines there as these cars are not known outside Japan. I provided you photos of the cars as pictures are worth a thousands words. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Donnie Park (talk) 19:16, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. Makes sense to me. I've added a race automobiles category on Template:Honda for these type of vehicles. roguegeek (talk·cont) 21:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are more such lists; it's a wiki.

Hi Donnie. I just recently saw you were in the project, so I added you to the list of participants (where you can put your initials if you care). Schluum is working on the List of uncategorized articles and Intelligentsium on the Portal. Until we get our first Cleanup listing and clarify the Project tags issue, I think the best you can do now is take a look at the New articles page: you have to check each article in the list and determine if it is really related to Industrial design as a category; if it is, you tag it with the most precise subcategory. By the way, could you please put this tag in your talk page:
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject_Industrial design/Announcements}}
Thanks, --AlainR345Techno-Wiki-Geek 08:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scope questions[edit]

This text is extracted from here. Please give it a thought as a member of WikiProject ID and put your ideas back there:

The first tagging operation of February 13, 2010 revealed some lingering scope questions that we want to discuss with each member of the project:

The question is... What do we do about that?

  1. We keep that situation 'as is'.
  2. We ask somebody else to possibly automate all the rest of it.
  3. We reselect some of those categories for automation (which ones?) and do the rest by hand on an article-by-article basis.

As always each solution has its advantages and inconvenients, both technical and ideological... So, team, what do you think?

Removed PROD on List of sports rivalries[edit]

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from List of sports rivalries, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

This may not be the most polished list in WP, but it certainly meets broad WP:LIST and WP:CLN guidelines. The mere fact that it has been around and contributed to consistently since 2005 should give it the benefit of a comprehensive deletion debate if is has to come to that.--Mike Cline (talk) 18:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I am not the nominator, although I did support the PROD although I did my best to add sources to make this list more encyclopaedic. Worth asking you this, do you follow sports, if so, then ever thought how common rivalries are in sports, hence my point, plus are we going to add every rivalries that most of these will fade to insignificance in 5/10 years time. Donnie Park (talk) 18:25, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Donnie, you make a good point about Rivalry criteria, and that's something that could be improved in this list. Indeed I am a avid Sports fans and understand the conceptual problem that the term Rivalry can cause if it not well defined in the context of this article. You did mis-characterize my statement above in your deletion debate comments. The comment above does not, as you suggest, say that because the article is old it shouldn't be deleted. It says, I think very clearly, that its long term existance and history of many contributors should give it the benefit of an AfD instead of a no-discussion-PROD. The removal of a PROD should not imply that the remover automatically is in favor of keeping the article, merely that the article deserves a broader debate on its further existance--Mike Cline (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry that I don't mean to mis-characterize the comments, I initially based it on the recent deletion nomination of another 5 year old article, though it was AfDed rather then merged, as a result, I decided to remove that part in my argument. Donnie Park (talk) 22:03, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Donnie - take a look at this essay I wrote on creating a better list. Given your ideas about the vagueness of the term Rivalry you can do one thing that will essentially make this list bullet-proof. Rewrite the lead-in in a way that unequivocally establishes what constitutes a rivalry (past, present or future) and source that definition with one or more reliable sources. Once that's done, list notability or indiscriminancy cannot be challenged successfully. All that will remain is some clean-up to ensure entries meets the inclusion criteria you establish in the lead-in. It's not a life-time project--establish bullet-proof inclusion criteria and others will improve the article.--Mike Cline (talk) 23:49, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re proposed deletion of James Major[edit]

Hi, you left me a message about the proposed deletion of the James Major article, however I did not create the artical that is currently there. The user that you may need to warn is BernardSumption (talk · contribs), who was the first user to turn the redirect that I created into an article. -- roleplayer 12:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
