Sorry I haven't been contributing much recently.
I think you've covered all my earlier points, but I'd like to go through the rest of the article if that would be helpful.
Regarding Blue Vixen - sounds like as good an example as any. I tend to be more interested in the big lumps of metal than the twiddly electronic stuff, I just thought the article ought to give an example from that side of the house as well. Cheers. 4u1e 13:48, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Mark! I'd be very grateful if you could translate this image into Galician for our F1 article and upload it to Commons when you have some free time and if you feel like, of course. Please, contact me at my Galician Wikipedia talk page.
The translation would be:
Estimated F1 team budget split -> Presuposto estimado dunha escudería de F1
Engine -> Motor
R&D -> I+D
Manufacturing -> Fabricación
Capital Expenses -> Gastos de capital
Race team -> Equipo de carreiras
Drivers -> Pilotos
Test Team -> Equipo de probas
Hydraulics -> Hidráulica
Rent, bills, etc -> Alugueres, facturas, etc
Sponsor chasing -> Procura de patrocinadores
Source: Adaptated from F1 Racing (March 2007) -> Fonte: Adaptado de F1 Racing (Marzo de 2007)
Based on a top team's budget -> Baseado nos orzamentos dunha escudería punteira.
I really hope you can do it, it would be a great boost for our article. Greetings! -- Fryant 00:18, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Here are random samples of why the whole article needs careful copy-editing. Don't just correct these; find a new person to look at it.
This had recently been discussed on WT:F1 regarding someone creating the BMW Sauber F1.08 article in a nearly identical fashion. It was argued that even though we may know the title and drivers for these cars, other things such as suspension setup and yes, even what oil is used, would be assumptions and "Crystal Balling". Hence BMW Sauber F1.08 was redirected to BMW Sauber, so that page can be recreated whenever the car is unveiled and we can verify the statistics. When I initially moved the page, I assumed McLaren MP4-23 was created by the same person who had created BMW Sauber F1.08, however I realized afterwards that it was another user.

Hey there Mark. You helped out a lot with the Ronald Reagan article during it's FAC. I don't know if you have an interest in First Lady Nancy Reagan, but I've nominated her for FAC here, and was wondering if you could take a look. Thanks and good luck, Happyme22 02:50, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:FOM Limited.PNG. 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. BetacommandBot 15:00, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Hiya, just curious, do you feel that your concerns have been adequately addressed at the Pauline Fowler FA nom? Or do you feel that there are still outstanding issues?

Mark83 said: Re. the apology - don't worry about it. Thanks for adding the info about the CAAT/Corner House judicial review, I've been meaning to do that. Thanks also for adding the Mark Thomas article - interesting reading.
Thanks for uploading Image:Dick_Olver.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ( talk) ( random) 19:20, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Good call on the 2012 bit, I didn't even consider that that wasn't history lol ;)
I tend to revert all mentions of said HSE report as, whilst it can be used to imply that Collins is the Stig. The line itself is very ambiguous (it doesn't expressly say he is the Stig just that he was an advisor) and to interpret it as such borders on Original Research and as such should technically be deleted. There is a discussion about it here [1] where reasons for it not being included are stated. Hope that makes things more clear but feel free to ask more if you so wish.

I'm not sure it working, turning Sanders Associates into a redirect to Lockheed-Sanders - because the company is now part of BAE Systems. If it's a redirect presumably it should go to the current name, but that would make incorporating the Lockheed history complicated.
Why not leave Sanders as a separate article for those who care about Sanders as a historical entity (after all, who else is going to click on a Sanders Associates link?) - but make sure we have a good introduction about its post-Sanders, with links to articles on the Lockheed and then the BAE firms, so people interested in its current status could quickly follow it? - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 18:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
May be you should and i apologise for not reading your link to the talk page as I am new to editing. I suppose besides Rafale other aircraft like mig-29k/OVT/M are certainly comparable to typhoon.The consensus on the talk page was arrived in late 2007 which is a bit outdated now. The old Gripen is certainly not comparable but the new gripen demontrator certainly is. Its almost a new aircraft because of certain changes in airframe and avionics and those changes must be considered. Click Here This web site provides a good review of the new Gripen demontrator. please check it out. regards Daredevil555 ( talk) 15:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Instead of just blanket reverting my contributions it may have been pertinent to better check the source. It features a map which shows which postcode areas are dominated by each supermarket.

It easily passed GA, but it recently failed FA. I learned a lot about FA articles during the FAC, and I spent very much time redoing things in the article from the recommendations during the FAC. Would you review the article at FA level and comment on its talk page? There are no NASCAR editors with FA experience (there are no NASCAR-related FA), and 4u1e ( talk · contribs) mentored me on the GA process (with the Mario Andretti article). 4u1e is mainly off-wiki right now. There's no rush. I appreciate your comments. Royal broil 12:21, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi there,
Do you know how we can change the orange infobox that appears on X Factor series articles so that Osbourne can be listed as a 'Former judge'? Wiki edit Jonny ( talk) 17:28, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mark. To avoid seperating discussion, I've moved your comment about Schumacher's image up to the center of the page where there was a discussion already going on about images in the article as a whole. I hope you don't mind, but I've mainly done it to keep discussions regarding images centralized. I've also commented back. Thanks, D.M.N. ( talk) 12:14, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey,
Don't know if you've got my page on your watchlist, so just to let you know I've replied. Thanks for your post; you were right to message me :) — Wiki edit Jonny ( talk) 12:42, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear Mark83, my suggestion that you may have a commercial interest in maintaining the entry on Ron Dennis is certainly unverifiable. It was merely an opinion based upon the speed with which my own easily verifiable modification was removed from what I regard as a generally correct summary of Ron's motosport career weakened by hagiographic elements and expressions of unverifiable opinion that attempt to diminish the doubts about his honesty that must occur to the objective observer after the events last year. I know little about Wikipedia but I often use it myself. I see that you are an administrator. I would have expected you to have attempted to trace the source materials behind my little modification yourself. It is possible that my opinion about your motives is wrong. It is possible that you are merely intellectually lazy. Or I may be wrong about that too. Whatever the reason behind your intervention it has certainly been a waste of my time. The comments I want to add are attributable to the FIA president, Max Mosley, and are recorded in the public domain. I will be adding the references to my observation as soon as I work out how to do this. In the meantime, it is naturally of the greatest importance to know the age, background, employer, and qualification within the area of comment, of busy administrators like yourself. Good faith cannot be freely assumed especially when contributors use pseudonyms and cannot be contacted directly. Based on your lack of interest in the source of my own additions, and the speed with which you have removed them, a good nickname for you could be "Ron's guard-dog". I feel disinclined to offer any apology to a pseudonym, though I thank you for such a polite and measured response. As you say yourself with regard to another matter, it is the accuracy of the content that is the issue. My mod was a reasonable addition and was factually correct. It would add important background for anyone who was looking at the page seeking an understanding of Ron Dennis. You should not have been so hasty. Peter Graham White ( talk) 14:39, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Dear Mark83, I now believe that I really do owe you an apology and I have only my own lack of knowledge of the Wikipedia rules to excuse this lapse. Having re-read your comment when you removed my addition "All true I believe, but citations needed" I realise that seem to have been completely fair to me. I thought at the time that the "All true I believe" referred to the original text rather than to my revision. I now see that you were saying that you believed that my modification was true, but that it needed citations before it could be allowed to remain in place. My suspicions about your motives were aroused when I saw that you had intervened in postings about BAE systems because this is a company with various indirect associations with McLaren. Many of the present management were former BAE employees. I completely withdraw my earlier comments and will take pains to avoid personal remarks in any future contibutions to Wikipedia.
I have now added the citations needed to justify my addition to the entry on Ron Dennis. I fully accept that these rules are needed (though I still wonder why so much unsupported opinion has been allowed to appear in this article in the first place. Best wishes Peter Graham White ( talk) 16:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
Mark, some just added alot of reference material to the Supercarrier article. It is very detailed in places. The problem is that the reference notes are more than twice as long as the main text!

Thanks for uploading Image:Ferrovial.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. 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

Hi Mark, I think you are the original creator of this article. To me it has far too many car images now and no images of their aircraft engines, would like to balance it up. There doesn't seem to be a RR car article for all these images to go in. Just wanted your thoughts. Cheers Nimbus ( talk) 01:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

You moved Royal Ordnance to another article without discussion, which is why I reinstated it and started to update it. I will not fall foul of the 3 revert rule. But I will reinstate it at a later date. I assume perhaps from your user name Mark83 and you are a twenty(ish) old rewriting history; perhaps I am totally wrong, but that is the way you appear (to me) to be behaving, even if you are an admin (which you are it seems). There is absolutely no reason why there cannot be an article on the Royal Ordnance Factories, Royal Ordnance plc, BAe and BAE Systems Land Systems etc etc. Royal Ordnance was around sufficiently long for changes to have occurred. The world existed before BAE Systems even if you cannot or will not accept it. Pyrotec ( talk) 22:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
Mark, could you take a look at this diff and the following discussions? I think we're dealing with someone with a less than adequate grasp of the English language here, as their changes are worse that what they are trying to fix! Since you added the original source, I wanted to make sure you were aware of this issue. Obviously the text in the article could use some clarification on this, but without the original source, I'm hesitant to change it myself. Thanks. - BillCJ ( talk) 09:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on BAE Systems Electronics and Integrated Solutions requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 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. —

Hi Mark. You removed a photo of HMS Dauntless from the Type 45 destroyer page with the comment "rvt - might be a different ship but basically the same image as above, shows nothing new to reader." I beg to differ. The other photos used show incomplete vessels. The one you removed may not be an award-winning photo, and there may be more suitable pictures, but on the Type 45 page it was the only photo to show a completed vessel after handover to the Navy, and the only vessel shown flying the White Ensign, and IMO more appropriate than a photo of incomplete vessels.
