[edit] Cleanup

I like the subject of this, although I don't know much about it (I came across it via Random Article). But, it should:

  • Have a more specific title
  • Follow the WP:MOS guidelines. For example, it takes a while to figure out what the article is about and that should be in the first sentence.
  • Wikilinks would be quite useful.

And more. . .

I'll be back to see what I can do to help. John (Jwy) 21:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I have done a very rough cleanup - rough organisation into sections, proper capitalisation, very quick editing of any text that stuck out as not WP:MOS. I didn't feel up to tackling the main body of the text tonight, but I'll give it a go when I get a spare few hours. --Lucian Gregory 23:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
I've done a bit more; most obviously moving it. I've also adjusted the lead to be concentrated on the auto stuff. If we get a more general (not just auto) race worker article, that stuff can go there. Also, if we get a non-American auto worker article, we would want to rename this one, but for now I think its okay. I have yet to take on the cheer-leading tone of the article. Feel free!

In Europe we're called Course Marshal, in the SCCA, it's Flagging & Communications Worker or Corner Worker. I have never heard anyone call it "Auto Race Worker". This should also be added to the link section at the bottom: http://www.scsportscar.com/modules/club/workers.php [User: JBrotbeck]Jbrotbeck 01:31, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Changes in flag content "white"

Could someone knowledgeable in the subject take a look at the most recent changes to this article by 198.111.223.62 (talk ยท contribs)? He seemed to change the meaning of the white flag - I was not confident with my knowledge about the field to revert the edits, so figured I'd see if someone here knew better.
