It's an easy mistake to make given the other YouTube has a release to the a Creative Commons license. I've been checking images when there's a change of one on a page on my watchlist lately, determining where the source is to see if we're able to use it.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hi "wikipedia friends". While not objecting the criteria you listed, I would like to bring these arguments to your attention:
The article has been adapted (not translated) from the "de" one, replicating same sources
The purpose of this creation would be that of turn to "blue" multiple entries by this team over the years (since 2011) in major series, particularly those in lists of winners
While it's not a good reason for that (I'd say too), plenty of racing teams just stubs with lower-quality refs, I should say
If they are currently redlinked as the winners of notable competitions I would assume sources do exist to show notability. Note that sources do not have to be in English. Yes lots of articles do exist that are sub standard, but slowly they are either being improved to the current standards or deleted. At the moment you just have the teams own website (not independent) and three stats pages so nothing of any substance. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 17:21, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a reason why your signature used to be mct and is now gtp while your actual username is MC12GT1? While it isn't strictly prohibited, it can be confusing to read a talk page. See WP:SIGPROB. TiggerJay(talk)19:27, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sorry to all "wikipedians". The truth is that I created my account 10 years ago when I was a child as it was a "game", then I kept it over the years when thing made "more serious". What's more Maserati today is not doing so well. So my goal would be to have, at least in Talk pages, my initials displayed in order to have people think they are talking with an "adult" person.
No problem. I’m not sure how many people see you username and think you’re not an adult. Also you do have the ability to have your username changed without having to start over if you want. TiggerJay(talk)15:56, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

this rfd discussion (yes, i know that's a case of ras syndrome) might keep clawing away at my mind for the rest of time. i gotta know what exactly you meant by... anything there
who are "these people" that apparently "are impossible to discuss with", "are vigilantes, here to maintain the status quo", and "don't read"? those are pretty serious accusations to make without elaborating
what does it have to do with whether or not wikipedia's search function is case sensitive?
what do quotation marks have to do with whether or not wikipedia's search function is case sensitive?
you do know that it's mostly not case sensitive, right? as in, if the first character in a title or after a namespace is a letter, it's gonna be capital, no matter what you input. you type "help:contents" in the search bar, it's gonna assume you wanted "Help:Contents". yes, this means there's technically no difference between someone wanting "summer" with a lowercase or yucky stinky capital s
you do know that redirects with quotation marks interfere with people attempting to search for exact text strings in articles, right?
Well, no problem. Simply if you read every single comment it's clear 90% din't read the whole converstation, maybe just the rationale. J947 is one of my wiki "friends", so I was embarassed he got there to support my discussion, while it was cleare we had no channce. So I wrote those "strong" things just to persuad him to stop losing his time there...for me. gtp (talk) 16:07, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
that doesn't answer much, if i'm going to be honest. if i'm reading it right, the creations were there to test lowercase searches... which doesn't add up when they're still capitalized, even though the first letters in all those redirects were the second characters in the titles
Summmarizing, I would like everybody to think that just as a "private" (I know it's not) message to my wiki-friend and, since I don't think it was offensive, I wrote down my perception at that precise time and circumstances without "hiding" my feelings (frustration at that time). Violation you cited is just your opinion, exactly as my perceived feelings were in that circumstance. gtp (talk) 16:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Answering, the technical, my target was clearly not that of starting a "revolution" in redirects, just a way to point out the problem while creating a bunch of major possible useful terms (in particular proper names "Summer, Era", etc.) gtp (talk) 16:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
there are some problems with this
to get to those redirects, a reader would have to type in at least one of the quotation marks in the first place
how can you determine what someone would be looking for with redirects of this nature? by targeting dabs, it only really implies that the answer is "lol idk"
wikipedia titles still aren't case sensitive, and are automatically corrected, so whether they look for "era" or "Era", they'd end up in the same article. to be kept, there would need to be proof that something was primarily known with quotation marks, which is a case i've pretty much never seen before or since "loss", and careful examination of that redirect will reveal that it doesn't lead to a dab
i don't think stating that calling people "vigilantes" who "can't read" and leaving it at that is cringe is "just my opinion", when there are entire policies about why it is cringe (see wp:npa, wp:aspersions mentioned above, wp:civ...)
as is, j947 was right in saying that there's no practical way around them with wikipedia's technical limitations, but this workaround involves creating unnatural redirects in targets that are possibly not even fitting, so it's best avoided. that essay i just linked even provides redirects in quotations as examples of titles that are usually considered unnatural consarn(speak evil)(see evil)16:45, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, obviously, I didn't say that, just exposed my perception of people answering bu not reading previous replies. gtp (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"These people don't read, they are vigilantes, here to maintain the status quo". Anyway it was just my perceived situation at that moment, in that circumstance. I would like you all to not feel directly or personally involved, while it's a clodes discussion (for me), while I apologize if anybody would have felt cited. gtp (talk) 16:51, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
you really don't just say something like this, explain who it was directed at, and then say that they shouldn't feel like it was directed at them. i get that you were frustrated, but you didn't need to say half of that to what can be very easily interpreted as a category of people that included 1ctinus (new page reviewer, has been around since 2019), sonic678 (has been around since 2015), hog farm (admin, has been around since 2019), and ironically, j947 (new page reviewer, pending changes reviewer, and rollbacker, has been around since 2017). they're far from likely candidates for most of those descriptions, though an argument could be made for that "consarn" guy, he's a real wonk
sorry for the escalation, but considering that arguments containing personal attacks are routinely disregarded in rfd (see here for a big example), it seems to come from a technical misunderstanding, and this discussion only really answers the least important of thus far six questions i had, i'm starting to think a better argument might exist, but hasn't been made yet consarn(speak evil)(see evil)17:20, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Well...I didnt' answer since, currently, I'm convinced too: it's better deleting. Maybe, one day, it will be refined the use of advanced search. That would be the goal. gtp (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Now, I'm convinced of that since also noticed it'll appear with ""Era"" in searches which I really dislike double "". gtp (talk) 17:33, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
