Removal of content for race sections on racetracks?
editWhy make the changes? They tell vital information about how the tracks got their respective races and how the events have changed over time. It feels unnecessary to remove that much information. Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 23:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @MysticCipher87(alt-account): I think it's best if we take this to WP:MOTORSPORTS to discuss; it feels like you're taking out too much content that is vital for the article. Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 23:18, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Nascar9919: Sorry, but what exactly is the content in your reverts that was "vital"? I agree with MysticCipher's edits here; the articles are too long and need to be trimmed, and removing content that isn't given due WP:WEIGHT in sources and/or is covered elsewhere is a good start. Please also remember WP:ONUS; if content is removed it is the responsibility of anyone wanting to restore the content to seek consensus to do so. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 13:44, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- @GhostOfDanGurney: Started up a discussion on WP:MOTORSPORTS. Trying to come to a consensus on what we should include. Please input your opinions on the matter when you get the chance. Thanks! Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 23:03, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- @MysticCipher87(alt-account): And now, why trim the lead for articles? They're a summary of the history and the layouts/amenities of the facility. You're removing way too much in my opinion. Cheers! Nascar9919 (he/him • t • c) 22:35, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- @MysticCipher87(alt-account): Started up a discussion on WP:MOTORSPORTS to see if we can come to a compromise with consensus. For now, please stop with the trimming of leads; I understand the events, but the leads feel highly unnecessary. When you can, I'd like to hear an explanation of why the leads and events section should be shortened other than just saying it in the explanation box. There needs to be a reason; do you think a certain section over-explains something? What can be shorter? Having a non-specific explanation feels like we're going nowhere. You've been active all this time reverting and making sweeping edits without giving any sort of opinion or starting any sort of discussion; it's been borderline, if not disruptive for the pages. Please elaborate when you get the chance either in here or WP:MOTORSPORTS and I or another person be happy to talk this out with you. Thanks. Cheers!
