Thank you
Thank you very much for your comments re: my first article. Since I can't add comments at the moment, I'm going to add my comments in subsidiary articles, which I hope won't come out as geeky as they look from here...

At the moment this seems like the best way to handle things while I'm still getting Error on Page warnings from Internet Explorer. Damn that browser. Bobo 19:10, 17 April 2006 (EST)

Nice work
..on the FIFA World Cup Results results page. Bobo 20:43, 17 April 2006 (EST)

Soccer
I added a link off the front page --DNL 12:52, 18 April 2006 (EST)
 * The deletion was inadvertent. Thanks for fixing it! --DNL 09:27, 10 May 2006 (EST)

Thanks
You and Bobo are doing an awesome job with soccer. Thanks, man, its a great addition to the site --Awrigh01 16:18, 4 May 2006 (EST)

Chelsea roster
Thank you. The colours aren't too bright, are they? I could easily tone them down a notch if need be. Bobo 19:07, 4 May 2006 (EST)
 * Awesome. Should I get to work on the other English clubs? Foreign clubs are slightly more of an enigma to me, though I guess Wikipedia would be a better source than any to get up-to-date squad information. Bobo 19:29, 4 May 2006 (EST)
 * At times the foreign information (particularly from Soccerbase and other places) can be out of date. Therefore I tend not to trust anywhere in terms of foreign rosters. However, with the British transfer market closed, this should be easy to keep control of for now. Bobo 19:42, 4 May 2006 (EST)
 * Fair enough. How's this? Bobo 20:12, 4 May 2006 (EST)
 * That's no worry. I was looking for the best way for the table to be readable, and I guess as long as the players' positions are there, it's easy enough to read. Bobo 20:19, 4 May 2006 (EST)

FIFA World Cup History
Thanks for finishing the World Cup Finals History for me, and making the format better for the ones I had done. Shall we keep the Germany 2006 version updated throughout the tournament? Alex Holowczak

Indianapolis 500
I saw you created the Auto Racing section, and the Formula One section, so I wondered if you could help me. I have been doing F1 History, and am in the process of writing reports a la wikipedia, e.g. 1950 Indianapolis 500. I am working my way through, slowly... I do about 2 races a day, and I've worked out that there are nearly 750 races so far, so 750/2 means it will take about a year to do, plus time for interuptions because of snooker things I need to do. Then I have to do player profiles etc. As you can see, it will take a while!

I am happy to do all of that, and the Indianapolis 500's that were in Formula One, e.g. 1950-1960. Could you perhaps use the same format for all the other Indianapolis 500s? (If you would like to help with the other races, it would be grately appreciated however!) Alex Holowczak 05:28, 14 July 2006 (EST)
 * What do you mean by "box score"? The 2006 Indianapolis 500 looks fine, but if you look at the rest of the F1 section, you'll notice the same liberie is used. And it would be annoying to have to change it all! It's not so much a box score, it's how F1 records it's results, look at wikipedia. Alex Holowczak 10:07, 14 July 2006 (EST)
 * Fair enough, you do the Indianapolis 500s (from 1950-1960 - 11 races by the way!) and I'll do the rest. Feel free to tag along with the other GPS, but I would prefer it if you used my format for the non Indy 500s (the US Grands Prix still follow the European format of scheduling). To be particularly helpful, you could do the schedules... If you look at F1-1978, it kind of stops there until F1-1996. So if yuo could fill that out in the same way, I would appreciate that more than filling out race results. There is some complicated stuff to do with tracks there, just leave that and I'll sort it once you do each year. I think that is of a greater priority. Wikipedia has all the info. Alex Holowczak 10:20, 14 July 2006 (EST)


 * Looking at wikipedia, perhaps you should do the F1 Indy 500s the F1 way, as F1 rules mean there is stuff like points earned, shared drives and reasons for crashing that do not exist in the post-1960 era, when it was no longer part of F1. So perhaps 1950-1960 should be done the F1 way, with the rest the other way? Alex Holowczak 10:28, 14 July 2006 (EST)


 * Fair enough, I didn't realise the Indianapolis 500 kept that rule. I'll leave all Indy 500s to you, I've already done 1950, but you can edit that how you wish. Alex Holowczak 11:08, 14 July 2006 (EST)

British Grand Prix
I like it, but where would it go? I've doing a page for the history of each Grand Prix, which in turn links to a report for each race. It could easily go on each page, as in the 1950 British Grand Prix, at the bottom for each race. Perhaps we could use a similar format for all races that season - just call each Grand Prix a Round (which is done), so e.g. The title can be Round, and just have No. 1 linking to the British Grand Prix, No. 2 to the Monaco Grand Prix etc. (Only for 1950 though, they change each year.) I'd happily go along with that. Alex Holowczak 09:58, 16 July 2006 (EST)
 * Brilliant, but I think it should just be the country, not the number. That can go on the Driver's Championship page (and Constructors' Championship page when they start in the late 50s. Alex Holowczak 10:22, 16 July 2006 (EST)
 * I like the flags a lot. Is there a way to simply link the flag to the page? If not, go with that. Alex Holowczak 10:40, 16 July 2006 (EST)
 * Okay. Would DNL, or someone like that know? Alex Holowczak 10:47, 16 July 2006 (EST)


 * Just a side point, if you do that with other GPs, some years do not have certain GPs, e.g. after 1950 there was no Monaco GP until 1955. I can't remember the others, as they were frequently on and off the calendars. Alex Holowczak 10:56, 16 July 2006 (EST)
 * To help you with that, I'll try to finish off the schedules, before going on to the stuff with reports - I'll leave that 'til after. Alex Holowczak 10:58, 16 July 2006 (EST)
