Re:Bean-counting

I've sent you an email hopefully, with a longer response, but I'll keep it brief here. I'm sure to give the stages a look at later in the week...a lot of 2011 classifications are going to be altered over three different Tours, and before making a rash move on altering the statistics - I do note that the Catalunya race has been altered already - and I've still get through all the 2012 teams! Only nine left after about 150! January has been busy. But as you said, sad day...Damaging, and likely to rumble on for a while yet, alas. Craig(talk) 21:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Farewell

I just read your userpage message, but haven't come across you before. I just wanted to say thanks for your substantial contributions. I follow cycling occasionally, so am sure to refer to your work at some time or another. All the best in your new endeavors. --99of9 (talk) 10:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I still stop by from time to time :) Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 01:42, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Re:Hey

Oh hey there! I've still got the checklist on my page, because I will get around to put them all as a GA. All 23 of them, as I have counted out. It's also a way to see what has been done and what hasn't. About the Europcar thing; I just followed the instructions at GAR, as to why it was on the 2011 page rather than Bbox...my bad! 2011 Giro also went GA as well; meant to send you an email about that...slipped my mind. ;) Craig(talk) 07:39, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

No, it's not your "bad." My preference to have it on the 2010 page is simply that - my preference. I'll definitely get those four I mentioned knocked off in the next few days here. Get them to "Done" on the checklist, at least, because oy that GAN wait is daunting. I might list HTC and/or Garmin for peer review first before FAC - I think those two in particular are that good. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 09:18, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Ah right, I misread! Apologies. Yeah, the GAN waiting is quite something; Veranda's and Europcar had both been on that list since December 31 and were only reviewed in March. That said, when they were all done pretty quickly, it was mainly the one guy that was reviewing it. Ah, why not! I don't know if any of the other GAs for the 2011 season page would make FA, but we can always work it out, can't we?! ;) Craig(talk) 13:49, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

How do I do it? A little bit of patience, and a little bit of can-do attitude. Sometimes it's minor typographical things or on other occasions, writing a report on the stages of a stage race (yeah, I kinda started doing that for the World Tour races this year, as you probably will have seen...), I know that I have to do it, rather than wait and not do it. I've usually got something that keeps me going on here, anyway! Whether it be motor racing or cycling, or anything in between generally; I'll be here until I'm blue in the face! ;) Craig(talk) 21:09, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, sure I'll give it a look through later on. I might try to link it in with what was done on the VWA, for their roster. Separate mini-sections for each group of riders probably. A little cleanlier, perhaps. Not sure. Take as long as you want; no rush! Craig(talk) 07:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Just to let you know that I've had a look into that bullet-point thing on the Leopard page, and changed it to something similar to the ones listed on the GA-VWA page. It has added 11,000 bytes onto the page however, so it's a bit heavy now! Craig(talk) 16:03, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm gonna add one more section - a "genesis of the new team" section like on 2009 Cervélo TestTeam season (we could probably stand to have such a section on 2010 Team Sky season and 2012 GreenEDGE season as well, but I'm in no rush to tackle those articles). I've already got the sources gathered, it shouldn't be any big thing to write it. We'll see if future GA/PR/FA/whatever reviewers have any problems with the article size. I'm really not sure what could go, except if it's decided that that rider breakdown thing should be on 2012 RadioShack-Nissan-Trek season (which would in turn bloat that article....ahh, this is all so delightful, isn't it?). Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 01:32, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

The rider breakdown section looks better now than it did with the bulleted lists. I'm still not convinced it's optimal, but I do think neither of us need to tinker with it anymore just now. It can wait until we get fresh eyes and some kind of community review on it. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 02:24, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough; I'll do that GreenEDGE at some point [basically whenever I get the chance, in all words] I can't think of anything that can go; there was just a series of events that occurred during the season for the team. Rider breakdown seems to be around the 20KB mark, so it would bloat the 2011 page too. Mind you, they have had a quiet season so far, but we'll see how they do come the end of the season. I cannot think of a better way to portray the section now that it has replaced the list...but yeah, fresher eyes and all that. Craig(talk) 09:04, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah...I gotta check out again for a while. It was nice to come back for a week and not just work on the season article, but post the classifications for the three Ardennes :) You keep up the good work now. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 09:30, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

It was good to have some help for a while! Well yeah, I had Grands Prix on both Sundays of the Ardennes, and I missed Fleche due to my work placement...gonna miss a lot of the Giro that way, which is disappointing. But yeah, thought I'd take a back seat on those Ardennes races; let someone do the results and I'd do the quick spiel up top. I'll do my best to keep it up to your standards. ;) But yeah, hope to see you around near-Giro time! Craig(talk) 22:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Europcar 2011 images

Hi just so you know, MOS recommends against beginning sections with left-oriented image thumbs, because ADA blind-reader software can't process it correctly, so that is why I have moved the images to different paragraphs or changed the thumbs to right-orientation depending on circumstance.

Also MOS recommends against "image sandwiching" which means having infoboxes or thumbs on both sides of a text section simultaneously, which is another reason I have been making these formatting changes to the page. 67.204.182.18 (talk) 23:12, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
