Finally, I've done some work to [[PD Racer]], which I hope will be enough to allow it to be kept on WIkipedia, as I think from what I read that it warrants keeping. :) I was wondering if you would be able to help? I've dug up what I could, but what would really help is some more coverage of the PD Racer in magazines or newspapers, if you know of any. - [[User:Bilby|Bilby]] ([[User talk:Bilby|talk]]) 23:56, 11 March 2013 (UTC) |

Puddle Duck Racer
Hi Buthsop! I saw your comment on Magnificent Clean-keeper's talk page, and as I'm now interested in the PD Racer I thought I'd stop by. Just to clarify a couple of things, as I don't think these were made clear, Andy Dingley and Magnificent Clean-keeper were concerned that the link you were adding wasn't appropriate on the Boat page, mostly because that's a high level overview of boats in general. Specific classes of dinghys don't really belong there. However, I think people will be able to find the article ok, as it is included in the navigation box at the bottom of each of the sailing dinghy classes. We might want to think of doing an article on the box boats in general, though, as they are an interesting style.
Otherwise, you are at no risk of being banned from Wikipedia - the worst that might have happened is a short 24 hour block, mostly because the situation you were in, (which we all get stuck in from time to time), is a problem for Wikipedia, as back and forth reverts generally don't end unless something deliberate is done to stop them.
Finally, I've done some work to PD Racer, which I hope will be enough to allow it to be kept on WIkipedia, as I think from what I read that it warrants keeping. :) I was wondering if you would be able to help? I've dug up what I could, but what would really help is some more coverage of the PD Racer in magazines or newspapers, if you know of any. - Bilby (talk) 23:56, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
