Not original research. Data straight from Races by year. Shows Jack's form for each Grand Prix e.g. he does well in France, poorly in Italy and is improving over time in San Marino. B. Fairbairn (talk) 11:29, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Results by Grand Prix tables
Could you please stop adding those? Do we really need them? Can't readers get that information by themselves by reading and scrolling through the "Races by year" table? It's as if you're making the readers illiterate by spoon-feeding them every possible information, which they could read on their own. Also, there's a current discussion at Talk:Jack Miller (motorcyclist), but you keep on adding these tables without even participating there. It's getting disruptive already. There are many issues with those tables that you add.
WP:OR: "The phrase "original research" (OR) is used on Wikipedia to refer to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist." You said it yourself: you made the table straight from the "races by year" table. No references provided. If you could provide one, then we could remove original research as one of the issues.
WP:FANCRUFT: "Fancruft is a term sometimes used on Wikipedia to imply that a selection of content is important only to a small population of enthusiastic fans of the subject in question." I could argue that what's important to the average reader is only the "races by year" table, because that includes the championship points and standings in a year, and basically race results per year. There's a reason why Formula 1 don't have these "races by grand prix" tables you know? And here you are, adding those tables to MotoGP articles.
WP:TRIVIA: Avoid creating lists of miscellaneous information. If we accept adding those tables, then in the future, other editors might add "Results by circuit" or "Grands Prix by race finishing position". It would never stop. Let's just stick with the most important info, and that is list every Grand Prix result per year, because that's how readers will intuitively find results, year by year, not Grand Prix by Grand Prix.
I think you should leave the new tables alone and eventually someone else will either agree with you or think it's a cracking idea and apply the tables to all MotoGP riders. Stop taking a new idea as a personal attack.
The wisest action to take (if your ego allows) is to leave the tables as is... for now. Eventually - after maybe a few weeks, maybe a couple of months - I'll get bored and you can go through and delete the tables that offend you with gusto :-) B. Fairbairn (talk) 11:38, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I see why you're blocked before numerous times. You edit articles while not seeming to care about Wikipedia guidelines; you didn't even address the guidelines that I mentioned above. Engr.SmittyWerben16:39, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a valid option. You can't just keep adding things over and over again - that goes against the way things work on Wikipedia and could potentially lead to a ban if it went all the way to arbitration. Let's try to avoid that. Engr. Smitty has suggested that these tables go against several Wikipedia policies. If you disagree, then that's fine, but we need to try and resolve the impasse. Do you have a reason as to why these tables don't violate the policies? Readro (talk) 14:32, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The table is simply to allow easy perusal of rider results per grand prix over career. For each rider the data is straight from the 'Races by year' table. It seems only one person has been offended and has initiated an edit war claiming principally that the table has no references - forgetting the data is straight from existing tables and is simply a reformat. Yes you can ascertain a rider's form over his/her career using the 'Races by year' table but the races are ordered by date and it's not straightforward. I have simply taken existing data and presented it in a different format. Is there some way in which viewers' opinions on the matter can be measured? Viewers, not self-appointed controllers.
Regardless of what people reading the article think, Wikipedia still has policies that need to be adhered to. Do you believe that your tables are, or are not in violation of the policies mentioned above? Readro (talk) 14:51, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected title. Diana was never a princess in her own name, she was Diana, Princess of Wales. The media almost always got it wrong. For reference try searching for Princess Diana. The page shows the correct title. B. Fairbairn (talk) 15:42, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
