Talk:Minardi

Melbourne 2005
This article should mention the controversy at the 2005 Melbourne Grand Prix. I can find much talk on the internet but so far nothing telling me just what the problem was. — Hippietrail 23:44, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * The controversy was about a disagreememtn between the FIA and Minardi, who were trying to race using cars to 2004 regulations as they were unable to produce a new car for the begining of the season. In the end Minardi backed down at the last minute, and modified their cars' aerodynmaics so they were legal. See BBC website here and here Spute 13:19, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

4 places
Article says Minardi have finished "4th three times - Martini twice and Fittipaldi once". What about the US GP 2005, when only six cars entered? -- Nope. They came 5th and 6th, with Ferrari and Jordanski taking the top 4 places.Damian Corrigan 01:44, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Pre-Stoddart History
Contrary to what Paul might think, there WAS life before Stoddart. Can anyone add anything?
 * Added a fair bit (and a pic!) but could still be expanded quite considerably. 4u1e 18:17, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Translation of Scuderia
While an Italian may tell you that 'scuderia' means 'stable', it has come to mean 'racing team' in recent years, and the appropriate translation here is 'racing' as it is intended to be translation of Red Bull's other team. I have changed it accordingly.

Scuderia does indeed mean "stable". I take this to be a historical continuation of the term "stable" and in "horse-racing stable".

'New' Minardi - Does it go here or not?
Do we consider the Euro F3000 Minardi team (see www.minarditeam.com) to be a proper part of this article?

On the one hand, the article should not logically be limited to F1 only - we've already got a bit of material on Minardi's pre F1 activities, Giancarlo Minardi is involved with the team, which team does have the legal rights to the name Minardi, in Euro F3000 at least. And there's actually something to write about because they are competing at present.

On the other hand, Mr Minardi's involvement is fairly minimal, I don't believe there's much connection in terms of personnel or location between 'old' Minardi and 'new' Minardi and I suspect, although I don't know, that Paul Stoddart's attempt to enter a Minardi team in F1 from 2008 means that he may still own the rights to use the name in F1.

I guess the logical thing to do is to treat the 'new' Minardi as part of this article for now and see how things develop. 4u1e 18:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry for answering an old message, but something about this article doesn't seem quite right to me. Reading between the lines, Stoddart sold his F1 operation (cars, factory, F1 entry etc - i.e. everything but the Minardi name) to Red Bull. Or, did he sell them the Minardi name too? I think the answer to that is crucial. If Stoddart kept rights to the name due to his prior ownership of the F1 team, any F1 activities of his in the future, and possibly any another motorsport activies, arguably belong here...
 * I think it's probably best if this article remain a time capsule article about the now departed Minardi F1 team, which can be added to should Stoddart or a successor ever return to that formula with the Minardi name. Other post-F1 activities, Toro Rosso, and commentary on ownership of the name, should take place here in summary form only. It seems that's it beyond our remit to do detective work about who the real Minardi is; all we are concerned with is that the F1 team no longer exists.
 * See also Minardi Piquet Sports, which I've just cleaned up, and Talk:Minardi Piquet Sports. --kingboyk 12:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I've made it quite a lot better, even if I do say so myself. Shorter, better narrative, clearly labelled as being summaries of main articles on the Minardi Team USA and Minardi Piquet Sports teams. --kingboyk 12:55, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

F1 portal Selected Article candidate
Minardi is the current improvement drive candidate for portal:Formula One. The aim is to get the article to WP:GA status by August 13, 2006. Please feel free to help out in any way you can - references, as ever, are probably the biggest shortcoming, followed by more detail on the pre-Stoddart years and a results table. 4u1e 08:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I've nominated this on the GA nominations page, as it will take at least a couple of weeks for it to work its way to the top of the pile. I'm a little uncomfortable with it just being my decision on clearing articles for the 'Selected Article' slot, so it's better if we can actually get it to GA standard before it goes on, rather than after, as was the case with Damon Hill and Gilles Villeneuve. 4u1e 08:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Initial assessment against GA criteria
Taken from the Good Article page, a GA standard article should meet the following criteria:

1. It is well written. In this respect:
 * (a) it has compelling prose, and is readily comprehensible to non-specialist readers;
 * Needs Action ''Needs polishing to make it more 'compelling' once additional material is added. Would be useful to get someone who is not interested in motorsport to read it and see if it makes sense to them. Anyone know a willing victim volunteer to do this? 4u1e 21:40, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * (b) it follows a logical structure, introducing the topic and then grouping together its coverage of related aspects; where appropriate, it contains a succinct lead section summarising the topic, and the remaining text is organised into a system of hierarchical sections (particularly for longer articles);
 * Logical structure is there, so OK. If wanted to improve it, could perhaps split content out further into more sections - i.e. have a section called 'notable drivers'. See Brabham for ideas from an (unfinished!) article with more sections. 4u1e 21:29, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Needs Action Needs a results table! 4u1e 21:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC) Done --4u1e 17:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
 * (c) it follows the Wikipedia Manual of Style;
 * Needs Action Check through against the list - looks OK at a first glance, athough when editing is complete it would be sensible to check wikilinks go to the right places, are linked at the first appearance etc etc as well as all the usual grammar etc. 4u1e 21:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * (d) necessary technical terms or jargon are briefly explained in the article itself, or an active link is provided.
 * Believe this is OK, although I wonder whether the article might be a little opaque to a non-motorsport fan? 4u1e 21:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. In this respect:
 * (a) it provides references to any and all sources used for its material;
 * Needs Action I know it doesn't reference all its sources, because I wrote most of the early history bit either from memory or by cutting and pasting from other Wikipedia articles! So not only do we need to identify suitable sources (some of the external links may do the job) we need to check the material that is already here against them 4u1e 21:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * (b) the citation of its sources is essential, and the use of inline citations is desirable, although not mandatory;
 * Needs Action Not done - the few references there are are simple links 4u1e 21:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * (c) sources should be selected in accordance with the guidelines for reliable sources;
 * Current sources are OK as far as they go (mostly press releases or news stories likely to be based on press releases). As they deal with fairly straightforward issues, this is probably OK. A more basic problem is the need for more sources! Hard copy ones would be good, but I don't know if there are any books that cover Minardi.  4u1e 21:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * (d) it contains no elements of original research.
 * Generally fine - although the statement that 'Minardi was the nucleus around which the Italian F1 community collapsed' might be considered original research. (That was me, I think, by the way - sorry!) 4u1e 21:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage, addressing all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC, and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed);.
 * Needs Action Not enough coverage of pre-Stoddart period, which most of the history of the team. Paul Stoddart's ownership was really only a footnote to the Minardi team (IMHO!) Could also look at whether there are other types of section than 'Racing History' that could be included - see Fittipaldi (constructor) and Brabham for ideas. Perhaps a section on 'Notable drivers'? This could include some brief details of Alonso, Nannini, Webber and some of the others and their relationship with Minardi. 4u1e 21:22, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy. In this respect:
 * (a) viewpoints are represented fairly and without bias;
 * (b) all significant points of view are fairly presented, but not asserted, particularly where there are or have been conflicting views on the topic.
 * Needs Action I think it's mostly OK on this front - there's a bit of 'fannish' writing (use of the word 'unfortunately') and the Stoddart era seems to be written exclusively from his point of view. Fairly easy to remove in the re-drafting, I think. 4u1e 21:26, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

5. It is stable, i.e., it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
 * ''Not relevant at present, as we are aiming at changing it! 4u1e 21:00, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic. In this respect:
 * (a) the images are tagged and have succinct and descriptive captions;
 * ''Three images, with copyright tags. Seems OK. A couple more would be nice, of course, and the position could be improved! 4u1e 20:58, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * (b) a lack of images does not in itself prevent an article from achieving Good Article status.

In summary - needs properly referencing and the pre-Stoddart history filling out. The wording can then be polished to a higher standard. I don't reckon that's too bad a job to take on! 4u1e 21:41, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

GA Failed
This article failed the GA nominations due to lack of references.
 * OK, that's that idea jinxed. I guess we need to get it to GA quicker to allow time for it to be reviewed. 4u1e

Results table
Question from Aprithvi: How to handle results table when drivers change during the season? The only one I've done so far is at Fittipaldi Automotive, where for most of its history there was only one driver anyway - the only time drivers swapped was in it's first season, and I've just covered that by having a second row, which fits easily in the table. Minardi will have some seasons with (off the top of my head) up to 4 drivers having competed for it. We could add extra rows to account for this - which will make it clear who drove for the team when, but it makes the table a lot bigger. Aprithvi has suggested (and is currently implementing!) a table that lists '1st driver', '2nd driver' and leaves it at that. I suggest a slight modification, give the names where it stayed the same through the season. Where there was a change, put 'various' in the driver name space and footnote it to specify who drove when. It's a bit more work, but conveys a lot more information. That's my take anyway - anyone got another idea? This would look like:

Notes: [1] Patrick Friesacher drove the second Minardi from the Australian to the British Grands Prix. Robert Doornbos then took over the car until the end of the season.

What do you think? 4u1e 06:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I think it would be sufficient to say 1st Driver and 2nd Driver and link it to the driver who drove in the first race of the year. (1st driver going to diver with smaller car number) - Aprithvi 07:26, 30th July 2006 (UTC)

The Results table seems to be too long (Minardi have been in F1 for 20 years). How about we just display the last 5 seasons and show the entire table on a separate page? Aprithvi 11:26, 31st July 2006 (UTC)

 * Sounds like a good plan. An alternative would be to list the 'highlights', such as they are, here and give the whole table on another page.

Not quite there for the selected article
Don't think this is quite there yet. Aprithvi has done excellent work on the results table, but the words still need a bit of expansion and referencing. I'll keep working on it when I have time and maybe it can go in later. --4u1e 19:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

MinardiF1x2
How about somewhere mentioning the two seater, and the fact that the operation continues to run under the Minardi F1 banner, and as part of Stoddard business groups.. http://www.minardif1x2.com 192.102.214.6 15:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Toro Rosso activities
If there has to be a summary of events after Minardi was sold to Red Bull, there needs to be some clarification that there is very little connection indeed between the two outfits. Minardi built their own car, for a start. Let's not pretend Toro Rosso's success is not wholly down to the extra money, the customer chassis and the expensive engines, not from any link to the Minardi days. Bretonbanquet (talk) 13:23, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm fine with that. Your version of the summary is better than mine, anyway.  In any event, I doubt that there will be many more additions to the article now unless either Paul Stoddart or Giancarlo Minardi finds a way back into F1, or STR wins the championship next year (which would be quite the long shot, IMO).  Rdfox 76 (talk) 15:54, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Cheers, I hope I didn't come across as bad-tempered - I have a tendency to do that lately :( And I agree - barring a Minardi return or Toro Rosso doing something even more amazing than winning a GP, this article is dealing with a "past event". Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:56, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

USA Grand Prix 2005
The USA GP 2005 was not boycotted my Michelin shod teams. In fact, Michelin issued a safety notice that stated that the tyre compound that they were using was not safe to use, therefore, unless a chicane was put on the final turn, teams agreed to slow for that turn or an alternate compound was allowed, the tyre wouldnt be issued, thus, the teams couldnt race......far from a boycott, the teams wanted to race but didnt want to risk the lives of their drivers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mowerman437 (talk • contribs) 08:27, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I've changed "boycotted" to "withdrew from". OK? DH85868993 (talk) 02:54, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

1999 season
"Significantly, if Eddie Irvine, who placed 7th at that race, had been able to pass Gené, he would ultimately have won that year's World Championship by a point." -- what? Irvine earned 74 points at the end of the 1999 season. Having passed Gene on Nurburgring, he would have earned one more point to a tally of 75, but Hakkinen got 76 at the end of the season. How could Irvine won 1999 World Championship if he had even been able to pass Gene?

I'm going to remove that statement if nobody explains it to me. Ximaera (talk) 14:14, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The assumption is that if Irvine had that 1 extra point from the Nürburgring, then Schumacher would have allowed him past in Japan, thereby giving Irvine a total of 77 points and the World title. But without that extra point, there was no benefit in Schumacher allowing Irvine past, as he would only have had 76 points - the same as Häkkinen - and Häkkinen would still have won the title on countback, so it was better for Schumacher to stay ahead of Irvine and try to catch Häkkinen. It might be more accurate if the statement said that Irvine could have won the World Championship by a point. DH85868993 (talk) 14:46, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Murray Walker

Humor
Proving his sense of humor, Murray bragged he beat Barry Sheene up the hill at Goodwood, though admitting it was 30min before... Trekphiler 09:00, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

Famous Quotes
"Here's the red lights... and it's GO! GO! GO!"

I don't see what's wrong with this. Green lights are not used to start the race, as you might expect. The drivers get a row of red lights that stay on, then as soon as they turn off (after a short time), it's GO! GO! GO! Walker's quote seems accurate to me. AndrewAllen 03:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

They used green lights up to the mid-90, not sure when the quote is from.

I know its a bit late but when the green lights were used he would say: '''There's the lights, they're watching for the green ... and it's GO! GO! GO! - Straight down to turn one they come'''Matty2002 (talk) 22:51, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

The car upside down is a Toyota The link here shouldn't be to the Toyota F1 team - the quote comes from a BTCC race in 1993.

Contradictory Statements
The article states "...BBC's voice of the new Grand Prix Masters series [1]. After providing the commentary for the inaugural race in South Africa, in January 2006 BBC Radio Five Live announced that Walker would be part of their team for their coverage of subsequent races." and then "...{Walker) is also Sky Sports' commentator on their coverage of Grand Prix Masters." Would seem strange for him to be working for two rival broadcasters? Is that correct? Any sources for either statement Alexj2002 22:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Not really - Murray's contributions to Five Live were prerecorded elements and analysis, rather than live commentary. His work for Sky was a true commentary, but wether it was live or not I don't know.

Balance...
I was just reading the article, and I kind-of feel it's peretrating the image of Walker as nothing more than a buffoon... while his confused moments are rightly famous, I feel the article could do with a bit more on his skills - his enthusiasm was a big part of watching F1 for a lot of British people, and not just his mistakes... He was a big part in the rise of the sport's popularity in the UK, and did a lot of research, and was a much-loved bloke in the pitlane (if Nigel Mansell had good words to say about him...). His relationship with James Hunt is probably worth a mention too. A bit more detail on this wouldn't go amiss, such as mentioning his background in biking (was he a rider, or am I imagining that?), the gradual rise in importance of his role (didn't he only do something like two or three live races a year until about '77? Monaco and whichever British races were on?)... I'd do it myself, but most of my books are at my parents', and I don't see the point in doing a vague bit covering that lot :)

Tom Prankerd 20:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Work, Rest and Play
Just watching a documentary on TV titled Murray Walker: A Life in the Fast Lane. Walker specifically says that he did not create the work, rest and play slogan for Mars which, as he acknowledges, many people incorrectly believe him to have done. I do realise that our article refers to the ad agency ("they") creating it but I think we should try to do better than this. I'm not a fan of citing TV programmes but would imagine Walker has refuted the oft-made claim on previous occasions. In this documentary, he says "I am traditionally associated with "a Mars a day helps you work, rest and play". But I didn't think of that slogan. If I had I would be very pleased. But I had a lot to do with 'Trill makes budgies bounce with health' ... ".

I think we need a more obvious a way to debunk the traditional association than saying that "they" (the agency) did it. In fact, if we cannot do that then I don't think we should mention it at all because it is irrelevant unless the connection specifically to Walker is made. Advertising agencies churn out slogans etc every day - that is a part of their job - and so it really is mundane to mention that the agency came up with it during Walker's time there. - Sitush (talk) 20:04, 20 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Related to this, the page for Opal Fruits doesn't mention Murray as having come upw ith the 'Made to Make Your Mouth Water' slogan, which I h had always associated with him. Might be wroth looking into?--MartinUK (talk) 13:37, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

The sentence "He is credited with the naming of the late 1960s Vauxhall Ventora, and the car's original name, Ventura, was already in use by the US manufacturer, Buick." makes no fucking sense at all. The "and" should probably be "as" and it could lose a comma or two but there's no point changing it because some aspie bellend will just revert it.

WikiQuote for Murrayisms?
Could someone start a Murrayisms ? -- 70.51.201.106 (talk) 11:17, 21 May 2019 (UTC)

General quality of the writing.
"After Hunt died, former F1 driver and BBC pit lane reporter Jonathan Palmer joined Walker in the commentary box until the end of 1996, though in 1993 others such as 3 Time World Champion Jackie Stewart took the role as Walker's partner for the 1993 British Grand Prix and 1980 World Champion Alan Jones took the role as Walker's partner for the "fly away" race in Australia at the end of the season, both requested by Nine's Wide World of Sports (an alliance of BBC to give out in Australia)."

Infoboxes
I was disappointed to see my recent edits reverted. I had simply added three infoboxes and split another - basically providing four missing infoboxes (one for each incarnation of the constructor) and refining the original one to provide the appropriate information for an article covering the four different eras.

Can we please discuss alternate ways then of making the article usable and the different teams navigable and their data distinguishable. Thanks. -- DeFacto (talk). 15:15, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * You may be disappointed, but I don't think there're valid reasons to say the article isn't "usable" as it stands, or that made-up stats and mostly repetitive infoboxes will make it more useful. The improvements that this article need are a more professional-style writing and more sources, not more infoboxes. As I said in my edit summary, most "Something in Formula One" infoboxes are in fact covering constructors, with at least two different "eras" for most of them, and no-one seems to have a problem with that. This "Team Enstone exceptionalism" hasn't grips on reality. As you said in your edit summaries, there're no published stats for the individual "teams" covered into this article, so we need to actually engage in WP:OR to came with some form of them.

 * If you insist with adding those extra infoboxes, please publicise (or continue it there) the discussion at WP:F1, as this change has the potential to be implemented in all "Something in Formula One" articles if it get a consensus. As for me, I think the article infobox is OK enough and I don't see an scenario where section infoboxes here can be an improvement.

 * Lastly, if you don't want all your changes reverted, make small edits for the non-controversial things you change. --Urbanoc (talk) 16:53, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I found the article to be unusable when trying to follow the "next name"/"previous name" chains starting from the infobox in Benetton Formula. The benetton article took me to the top of this Renault article, but the "previous name" link from there took me, not back to the Benetton article, but to the Lotus F1 article! So there was clearly something wrong there. The obvious solution was an infobox for each team in the Renault article with the next/previous links correctly chained. So I took it from there. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:09, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * If you think that way, just link to the specific section (as I see you did). In fact, is the same in other cases, as Brawn GP, and no-one said we need an infobox in the section covering the second incarnation of the Mercedes team. As I said, that can't be used as an argument we need three repetitive infoboxes with made-up stats. --Urbanoc (talk) 17:15, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Yes, the first step was to link to the correct team section, but in the correct section there is no infobox, so no "previous name"/"next name" links. The obvious solution, I thought, was to add them. I'm not sure why this is so controversial. If I came across the same problem in other articles I would have tried to fix that too - and yes, Brawn and Mercedes will likely suffer from the same problem, so need fixing too. Let's see what other ideas appear before we decide how best to proceed.
 * And no, none of the stats were made up (by me, at leat), but because there were no references at all in Renault Grand Prix results to turn to, I copied the data directly from that article. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:33, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Yes, the stats were made-up, as you're admitting you made an original synthesis of a generic results table that, as you so correctly tagged, is unsourced. If you don't see how the edits you made here are controversial, there aren't much things I can tell you. I suggest you open a new section in WP:F1 for "Infoboxes in 'XX in Formula One' articles" and try to gain support there. --Urbanoc (talk) 17:41, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * If the stats were made up, rather than merely being unreferenced in the Renault Grand Prix results article, I wouldn't know - I assumed good faith on that. And I didn't make any original synthesis, because to do that I would have needed references to synthesise from. I just used the unsourced data from that other article, assuming good-faith on behalf of the original contributor(s), whilst tagging that other article to try to find the references. -- DeFacto (talk). 17:55, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * You made an original synthesis of the content in the table, as you used it to get "stats" that aren't published anywhere. In short, you made them up if you prefer. Simple as that. Also, as you may know, Wikipedia can't be used as a source for anything, at least for content within Wikipedia itself. We don't assume good faith there. --Urbanoc (talk) 18:03, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * I never made anything up, I only copied stuff and did simple arithmetic, so we'll have to agree to differ on our interpretations of WP:SYNTH. But, I will follow your suggestion and go to WP:F1 to try to find a solution to fix the unusable and confusing article. -- DeFacto (talk). 18:58, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:SYNTH doesn't apply here, as your edits were more than basic arithmetic and didn't get any consensus up to this point. In fact, SYNTH says "do not combine different parts of one source to reach or imply a conclusion not explicitly stated by the source". actually disproving all your point, as data shouldn't be used to imply a conclusion the sources don't. In this case, that would be that your stats are valid and/or are recognised by reliable published sources. They don't. And Wikipedia is a bad source for Wikipedia, on top of that. Good luck in WP:F1. --Urbanoc (talk) 19:17, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It was you who called it synthesis, not me. I know it isn't synthesis, as I said, because I wasn't drawing conclusions by mixing references. All I did was add numbers together. Granted I had no source(s), I acknowledged that though, and was expecting to fill that gap when we found sources for that results article that I tagged.
 * However, that isn't the main point here, the main point is to make this article more usable, logical and navigable - which was my original intention. The addition of the era stats too would add even more interest and value, so it would be a shame not to.
 * I will leave this discussion now, and move to WP:F1 to start looking for a solution to the problem. -- DeFacto (talk). 21:19, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 * With "WP:SYNTH doesn't apply here" I meant your intention of using WP:SYNTH as an argument for validating your edits wasn't correct in this case, sorry if it wasn't clear. I do think your edits are an original synthesis as I explained, even if you used Wikipedia as a source. I don't think there're are problems with this article as it is, and, to be honest, yours are the only consistently present complains on that regard. Past discussion on increasing the distinction between the "eras", either by creating three separate articles or a "Team Enstone" one, have had a consensus against, and I agree with those past consensuses. That's why I'd like to know which is the present consensus for the WP:F1. If a clear consensus goes with you, and while I personally still wouldn't agree, I've no problem in increasing the distinction between the "Renault" sections in some way. However, I do think there're clear policies against the "stats" you intend to introduce as, no matter how you try to justify it, they are neither official nor published in any reliable source, you just made-up them to increase the info of an arbitrary article division. The stats of "Renault" in F1 are as they appear in this article's infobox. If you still disagre in both points, I'd say a new section in WP:F1 is certainly the way to go, as no other editor is commenting here. And, seeing the low traffic at the moment, a discussion there will also be slow. --Urbanoc (talk) 22:04, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Silton

Silton is a small village and civil parish in north Dorset, England, situated in the Blackmore Vale 4 mi northwest of Gillingham. In the 2011 census, the civil parish had 57 households and a population of 123.

In 1086, Silton was recorded in the Domesday Book as Seltone; it had 16 households, 11.5 ploughlands, 28 acre of meadow and 4 mills. It was in the hundred of Gillingham and the tenant-in-chief was William of Falaise. This original settlement was near the church, on a low ridge between the River Stour and a minor tributary to the southwest.

Silton was for many years the country residence of Sir Hugh Wyndham (1602–1684), whose memorial by the sculptor Jan van Nost is in the parish church of St Nicholas. Wyndham's Oak, an historic tree named after Wyndham, stands nearby.

Talk:BMW Sauber

Merge
How about merging this with BMW Sauber? Peter S. 20:28, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

"BMW Sauber", "Sauber" or "BMW"?
This team has been treated as a new team in this article. And I agree it. However, there is contradicted information, and I'm confused a little.

 * Case to include participation as Sauber
 * FIA
 * Official Formula 1 website(formula1.com)

 * Case to include participation as former BMW-F1(1950's)'s 2 races
 * BMW F1 @ f1-data.com (English) (mod Morio 23:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC))

 * BMW Sauber is completely new team in the record
 * This article

Which is correct?--Morio 17:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

In view of the move back to 'Sauber' ownership, It would be much more clear to move the body of this article within 'Sauber' - there is clear continuity of the team. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.245.198.135 (talk) 12:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

 * No, I think this year's season should be covered in article Sauber and BMW Sauber be an article for the years the team was a BMW works team. The only reason for keeping 'BMW' in the name for 2010 is a technicality. John Anderson   (talk) 14:35, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

On the Sauber web site it states as BMW Sauber C29 chassis -. The stats should count towards the BMW Sauber team, as for 2011 the chassis will be Sauber and therefore the stats will continue for Sauber. The official name chassis is BMW Sauber for the moment Andreasu

Disambiguation
I noticed that several users have edited the Sauber article whilst seeming to assume that it includes the 2006 BMW Sauber team. I have therefore put a disambiguation template in the Sauber article.--Diniz 13:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect redirection
The Sauber talk page redirects here. Does anyone know how to correct this? --4u1e 06:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Robert Kubica
Robert Kubica didn't replace Jacques Villenueve until the Hungarian Grand Prix. He was then confirmed for the remainder of the season

BMW Motorsport
BMW Motorsport currently redirects to BMW Sauber, which I feel is a mistake. BMW Motorsport has many years of motorsports activity outside of Formula 1, including it's various sportscar and touring car efforts. I think that BMW Motorsport deserves its own seperate article since almost none of its history is actually discussed in BMW Sauber. The359 03:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Page history on the redirect says BMW Motorsport was previously a redirect to BMW M. I think the motorsports activities and history can told be there. --Pc13 08:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't BMW Motorsport still direct there though, since BMW M is merely another name for BMW Motorsport? The359 00:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

B-Class
Assessed as B-class as it appears to cover most of the relevant elements. Structure is OK, writing needs work for grammar, NPOV and clarity, refs are almost non-existent. 4u1e 18:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Having had a look at some of the other current teams, although it meets the B criteria as listed, there seems to me to be a clear difference between this article and, say, Scuderia Ferrari or WilliamsF1. Downgraded to 'start' in comparison.4u1e 18:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Information Table
According to the panel on the top-right of the page, BMW have competed in 1 race and won 8 Championships!--80.4.6.146 (talk) 18:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

User template
I created a user template for fans:

Put on your babel and enjoy! :)

 * How do I do that lol?--Beauty lies in the eye of the beer-holder... (talk) 12:12, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Megatron Retained the rights?
I don't think megatron would support being associated with BMW. He's more a Mclaren kind of guy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigjs (talk • contribs) 02:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the link. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 14:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

#REDIRECT
This should #REDIRECT to BMW for it is nothing with Sauber now. BMW leave 2009 and 2010 was only for it may not change name in middle of year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ingen Alls (talk • contribs) 15:58, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Both BMW in Formula One and Sauber contain about the same amount of coverage of the 2006-2009 period (in fact, I think much of the text is identical), so it's debatable which is the better target for the redirect. DH85868993 (talk) 03:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Sports car racing missing?
Missing a huge portion of Sauber's accomplishments in sports car racing... What about his time in association with Mercedes and the highly successful C8 and C9 models that dominated LeMans in the late 80's before the track was ruined by ridiculous chicanes? That was a huge part of Peter Sauber's motorsports legacy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:CF0A:CD40:CD09:4F29:2AEC:A46D (talk) 16:15, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Walter Frye

Walter Frye (died 1474?) was an English composer of the early Renaissance.

Life
Nothing certain is known about his life. He may have been a "Walter Cantor" at Ely Cathedral between 1443 and 1466, and he may have been the Walter Frye who joined the London Parish Clerks in 1456; he also may have been the Walter Frye who left a will at Canterbury in 1474.

Music
Most of Frye's music survives in manuscripts from the continent, which has suggested to scholars that he spent much of his time there; however stylistically his music is closer to that of other English composers (such as John Dunstaple and John Hothby) than to that of the Burgundian School, the most notable contemporary movement on the continent. A reason sometimes given for the survival of his music in continental sources is that the few remaining English 15th-century manuscripts rarely mention the names of composers; therefore there may be a good deal of his music which is simply anonymous. Survival of music from the period in England is sparse because most of it was destroyed during the dissolution of the Monasteries carried out between 1536 and 1540 by Henry VIII.

Frye wrote masses, motets and songs, including ballades and a single rondeau. All of his surviving music is vocal, and his best-known composition is an Ave Regina, a motet which occurs, unusually, in three contemporary paintings, even including notation. Some of his shorter pieces acquired an extraordinary fame in far-away areas, such as Italy, southern Germany, Bohemia and present-day Austria, including the rondeau Tout a par moy and the ballade So ys emprentid. These songs were often copied, rearranged and plagiarized, and appear in numerous collections in varied forms.

Frye's masses, however, were his most historically significant contribution, for they influenced the music of Jacob Obrecht and Antoine Busnois. Frye's style in his masses was typical of English music of the period, the Contenance Angloise, using full triadic sonorities, and sometimes isorhythmic techniques; he contrasted full-voiced textures with passages for only two voices, which became a characteristic sound of the polyphony of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Three masses have survived more or less complete: the Missa Flos Regalis (for four voices), Missa Nobilis et Pulchra (three voices), and the Missa Summe Trinitati (also for three voices).

Sixpenny Handley

Sixpenny Handley or Handley is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Sixpenny Handley and Pentridge, in north east Dorset, England, situated on Cranborne Chase ten miles (16 km) north east of Blandford Forum. In the 2011 census the parish had a population of 1,233. The civil parish was abolished on 1 April 2015 and merged with Pentridge to form Sixpenny Handley and Pentridge.

Toponymy
The village was originally known as Handley, or Handley St Mary. The use of the name Sixpenny Handley to describe the village and parish is fairly modern, and was being used as an alternative name by the middle of the 19th century.

Handley is derived from the Old English hēan "high" and lēage "clearing". Sixpenny was added to distinguish the place from other Handleys, and refers to Sixpenny Handley Hundred, first mentioned in the 14th century as the hundred of "Sexpenne et Henle". The hundred took its name from this Handley and a place called Sixpenny, now a farm, in the south west of the parish of Fontmell Magna. Sixpenny was first recorded in 932 as Seaxpenn, and means "hill of the Saxons" (from Old English Seaxe and Brythonic penn). The reference is to the hill now known as Pen Hill east of the modern farm, and probably marks an ancient boundary.

History
On Woodcutts Common in the north of the parish (west-northwest of the village) is the site of a 4 acre Iron Age and Romano-British settlement, probably a farm. It was excavated by General Pitt Rivers in 1884–5.

The Great Fire of Handley 1892
On 20 May 1892, the village suffered a major fire which resulted in most of it having to be rebuilt, after nearly two hundred people were left homeless. Well-wishers subsequently sent gifts to aid the villagers; so much clothing was donated that it was said a man could be identified as being from Handley because he wore two or even three waistcoats. This generosity was celebrated in 2014 by the Heritage Lottery–supported Sixpenny Handley Waistcoat Festival.

Geography
Sixpenny Handley village is sited between 75 and 95 m above sea-level in a shallow valley on the dip slope of the chalk uplands of Cranborne Chase. It is approximately 10 mi northeast of Blandford Forum and 12 mi southwest of Salisbury in Wiltshire. The parish covers three valleys—the village being in the easternmost—which all drain south. The highest land in the parish, at over 155 m above sea-level, is in the north, where in places the chalk is overlain by deposits of clay with flint. The lowest land, at 60 m, is in the south.

Cranborne Chase is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Other protected areas nearby include Garston Wood, a hazel coppice and RSPB reserve,. and Martin Down, an area of chalk downland and a national nature reserve.

Demography
In the 2011 census Sixpenny Handley parish—which includes the settlements of Gussage St Andrew, Woodcutts and Deanland—had 554 dwellings, 532 households and a population of 1,233.

The historic population of Sixpenny Handley parish from the censuses between 1921 and 2001 is shown in the table below.

Dorset County Council's 2013 mid-year estimate of the population of Sixpenny Handley parish is 1,210.

Governance
Sixpenny Handley falls within the electoral ward called 'Handley Vale'. The ward's most northerly parish is Pentridge, it then goes south as far as Witchampton. The total population of the ward at the 2011 Census was 2,491. Handley Vale is in the North Dorset Parliamentary Constituency.

Economy
Business units are provided at Town Farm Workshops and also at Manor Farm just outside the village. The village has a Budgens convenience store and a butchers shop. There is a workshop garage which has no fuel pumps. There is a restaurant, two cafés, a pub which closed in 2019 and brewery.

Tourism
Sixpenny Handley is located on the B3081 road which has been described as providing "a magical driving experience", and the village is a popular stop-over for touring. Cranborne Chase hosts a number of festivals including The Great Dorset Steam Fair, Larmer Tree Festival and the Cranborne Chase AONB Woodfair; the village is always busy at these times. The village's isolated position makes it popular with both walkers and star gazers.

Religion
The parish church of St Mary dates from the 14th century. It has been designated a Grade II* listed building. St Marys is a Church of England Church. It is in the parish of St Mary's, Sixpenny Handley, Gussage St Andrew and St Rumbold's, Pentridge. The Church yard is managed according to the Living Churchyards project.

Sport and recreation
The village recreation field area includes a car park, sports pavilion, cricket pitch, football field, tennis court, bowling green, skate park, play park and the village hall.

There is a play park for toddlers in Keats Meadow.

The village has two allotment sites; both are managed by the village's allotment committee.

Facilities
Handley has a doctor's surgery and a telephone exchange which supplies broadband internet connection. Handley is visited by the local library van and is on local bus routes. Handley is not on mains gas.

Clubs and societies
Sixpenny Handley has several clubs and societies including Women's Institute, Mother's Union, bowls, tennis, football, cricket, cards, and Scouts.

Education
Handley has a first school which takes children for reception and years one to four. Children generally feed into Cranborne Middle School and then Queen Elizabeth's School in Wimborne Minster.

Community
The community magazine is "The Downsman". The magazine includes news, articles it is supported by advertising and the Parish Council. The church magazine "The Seeker" is a four-page insert in The Downsman.

Most years see Handley host some sort of street party. For 2014 the Sixpenny Handley Waistcoat Festival Committee has secured Heritage Lottery funding for an event remembering the Great Fire of Handley 1892 and the generosity of well-wishers, without whom the people of Handley would have suffered great hardships.

The village's annual fireworks display is held close to Guy Fawkes Night at Church Farm Campsite. The event is run by First Woodcutts Scouts.
