Entry List[edit]

I see that entry list is redirected to WEC 2016 Season. But LeMans-only entries are not present in that page(yet!?). MC12GT1 (talk) 16:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The entry list was removed because it lists the exact same information as the race results. The³5₉ (Talk) 16:29, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't totally agree that entry and result list the "exact same information" : what about sorting? Or categories? With the previous list people could have a immediate view of the participants (sorted by number an grouped by class) which is quite different. MC12GT1 (talk) 14:59, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We're not here to spoon feed every possible piece of information. 90% of the information on the two tables is redundant. The³5₉ (Talk) 15:57, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'd like to ear some other opinions. But I doubt anyone but us will enjoy this talk. MC12GT1 (talk) 19:47, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Rao or Jakes? Look at the James Jakes page! MC12GT1 (talk) 12:24, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It was my mistake. Now it's corrected. Corvus tristis (talk) 12:37, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

@MWright96: Sorry for rhos taking such a long time. The article is very good and these fixes will bring it to GA status. Kpg jhp jm 13:00, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Kpgjhpjm: Have done all the points except for why TDS Racing withdrew because all the sources I found do not state the exact reason. MWright96 (talk) 17:02, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
