Speedway Is Too Good For This...


Recommended Posts

Wikipedia effectively offers free advertising, so the likes of the FIM and BSI could and should be using it to raise awareness of their competitions. The amount of stuff on speedway on Wikipedia is very poor, and whilst I have been tempted to write/re-write text myself, I simply don't have the interest in the sport that once did. I see some other people have ported some of my pre-Wikipedia stuff though, even though it's now largely out of date.

 

I did write a number of articles related to my profession in the past, despite official hostility towards Wikipedia so I had to do it under a pseudonym. Eventually they did become a widely used reference and proved to be far more useful than anything that our so-called PR department managed.

 

Yes, I've experienced that, and even worse had a page marked for deletion on the grounds of being 'unverified information'. Eventually after putting the page back a couple of times, the silly moderator or whoever gave up.

AND what, pray, is your profession?

INCLUDING the press officers of BSI / FIM / One Sport, as well, you'd have thought...possibly?

 

How to do it in easy stages;-

 

1. Go to the Speedwáy GP site and you will see that so far, four GP dates have been announced including Cardiff.

2. Click on your wiki link and scroll down until you se Motorcycling, and immediately below that is the word speedway.

3Click on Speedwáy and lo and behold it will take you to the four. GP dates that have so far been announed

 

Isn't technology wonderful?
