Supercars Manufacturers' Championship

Regarding this edit, there is actually a manufacturers' championship for Supercars, awarded to the manufacturer that scores the most wins over a season. It just never gets any proper recognition outside of the awards night. See List of Australian Touring Car and V8 Supercar champions#List of V8 Supercar Manufacturers' Championship winners. I have never really thought about incorporating it into the season articles, though in the past someone has added it as a single sentence after all the results matrices. It might be worth using a table similar to that used on the NASCAR articles. – Kytabu 00:06, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

FYI

I reported Alex95-Ukraine to the admins and warned him on his talk page. SSSB (talk) 09:33, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

@SSSB — I think WP:ANI would have been the more appropriate place to report him. This feels less like vandalism and more like really aggressive editing. I've run into this guy before and he's well-intentioned but does not take people disagreeing with him terribly well. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 10:50, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

@Mclarenfan17:, agreed that would better, I'll do it now, for the record he has accused me of being as well in one of his reverts. SSSB (talk) 10:56, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Y done. SSSB (talk) 11:18, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Avengers

Please don't abuse the term "censorship". Thank you. Drmies (talk) 21:27, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Drmies — I think it is a form of censorship. That's what these editors are doing: removing the plot of the film to protect people who have not seen it from spoilers. WP:CENSOR is the reason why the red spoiler tags were removed years ago. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 21:31, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

I think that's way too strong a term for this. The editor was claiming, by they way, that they removed it because it was unsourced. Pointing them to MOS:PLOT takes the politics out of that argument. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 21:34, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

BTW my boy is playing some racing game where apparently he could get a McLaren F1. Foolishly he chose a Toyota 86... Drmies (talk) 21:35, 24 April 2019 (UTC)

@Drmies — in all honesty, given the way McLaren have been performing in the past few years, I don't blame your boy for picking the 86. Being a McLaren fan now is a bit like being a Chicago Cubs fan: equal parts glutton for punishment and deluded for thinking next year they will recapture their former glory, even though there is no earthly reason for thinking it. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 09:07, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

Ha, thanks, I'll tell him that. Could well be that he's smarter than me after all. Drmies (talk) 13:58, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

May 2019

Your recent editing history at 2020 Formula One World Championship shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Indentation

Just some advice on the use of indentation. At the WT:RALLY discussion you keep indenting to your own comments. That's not necessary. Doing that effectively means you're having a conversation with yourself. You only need to indent when you reply to someone else's comment. WP:THREAD contains the explanation.

Disruptive edits @2019 World Rally Championship

Please do not continue with edits (edit war) such as , , . I remind you to reread this:

User:Mclarenfan17 has now moved the campaign back to the article talk page, and is arguing there that there is a consensus. Since they opened this thread, this has aspects of forum shopping. I may be the "wrong" editor for this dispute, because I initially sent the disputant parties off to an RFC, but the resultant RFC is a mess, and I can't tease a consensus out of it. Maybe a wiser closer than I can resolve it, but if User:Mclarenfan17 keeps insisting that there is a consensus, in spite of vocal disagreement, then my own opinion is that Mclarenfan17 is trying to game the system and force a consensus. Can an uninvolved administrator please either find some consensus, or close the RFC with a finding that a new RFC is needed, or something? My own opinion, which is only my opinion, is that User:Mclarenfan17 bungled the RFC and it needs to be restarted. In any case, by insisting that there is a consensus when there clearly is not a consensus, they are being stubborn, and something needs to be done. Robert McClenon (talk) 15:53, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Please do not continue with these edits with claims of some sort of consensus, when Request for closure (started by yourself) is still active. I will report you if you continue with this behaviour. Pelmeen10 (talk) 16:02, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

I'm not the guy who forgot about the discussion for two weeks, insisted that the discussion was still open, then forgot about the discussion for another two weeks. It seems like the only way I can get you to keep having the conversation that you insist on having is to make those edits. At this point, it's pretty obvious that you're deliberately trying to prevent a consensus from being formed. Mclarenfan17 (talk) 20:22, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
