[edit] Allan Moffat
Is it wikipedia standard to not update nationality? Do we refer to drivers as being Rhodesian or East German or Yugoslav? Is Tomas Mezera Czechoslovakian? Is George Fury Hungarian? Is David Brabham British? Is Chris Alajajian Lebanese? Is Mario Andretti Italian? I ask for clarification, because that's a lot of changes.
What exactly is Australian and what is not? --Falcadore (talk) 11:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Warnester here -- Firstly, I didnt make "alot" of changes, I made the same change four times. And that change was only to add a Canadian flag next to Moffat's name for the 4 times he was the winner of the Bathurst 1000. It is a well known fact that Moffat was born in Canada and moved to Australia to pursue his (very successful) racing career. Moffat only became an Australian citizen in 2004 (again a well known fact that wikipedia acknowledges in the article about him).
Think about it - if Carl Lewis moved to Sydney and takes up citizenship - does it change that he won numerous gold medals for the US at the Olympics? Do they suddently become "gold for Australia?" - of course not.
At the end of the day, if wikipedia is going to go to the trouble of having national flags next to the winning drivers names to represent their nationality - then at least get it right. Moffat raced as a Canadian citizen - a simple, and completely unrefutable fact -- W
- Didn't say you'd made a lot of changes, you've completely misunderstood my question. I was asking for clarification of other drivers, because changing all of them, as well as making further Moffat changes would be a large shedload of changes. Since you seemed to have knowledge of where the dividing line should be drawn I thought I'd ask you about the others. Russell Ingall too come to mention it. And Peter Janson. Chris Lambden is another, he's a complete mystery between three countries. John Faulkner as well. Did you think I was attacking you? --Falcadore (talk) 14:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
