Halo Movie
[edit]The page was deleted because as the film is still not in production, it would be a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. The original page was at Halo (film) which was then merged into the Halo (series) article as per agreement. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 15:19, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- read Wikipedia:NOTFILM#Future_films.2C_incomplete_films.2C_and_undistributed_films. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- If it gets recreated, the technical page should be Halo (film) as per naming conventions (that's where the original article was as well.) However, I don't see where IMDb proves it has been taken off hiatus. The last I heard, Stuart Beattie was taking a stab at adapting The Fall of Reach, but I still don't see any official confirmation. Seeing as how many times it has been taken off and on production, we may be best served by waiting until actual principal or initial filming begins before spinning it off into its own article. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:07, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- IMDb still doesn't prove it's in production again. There has been no news, and the 2009 date has been there for a year. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 22:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles". The Halo-Weta shorts probably did use assets that would have gone to the movie, but there's no indication that this was actually the case (the Warthog was definitely created solely for the shorts, so it's not too far fetched to say they made the less substantial props.) As we have no sources to prove that any actual shooting occurred, it should not be spun off again. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 15:46, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Belgian Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate
 The 2008 Belgian Grand Prix (formally the LXIV ING Belgian Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on September 7, 2008, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Spa, Belgium. It was the 13th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 44 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team, after the initial winner, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton, was penalised for cutting a chicane and gaining an advantage over Ferrari's Kimi Räikkönen. Hamilton started from pole position alongside title rival Massa. Hamilton's McLaren team-mate Heikki Kovalainen started from third next to the 2007 winner Kimi Räikkönen. Following a spin by Hamilton on the second lap, Räikkönen led the race, until rain fell on lap 41 and Hamilton performed the penalised pass. Räikkönen crashed in the following lap as rain started raining heavily. Massa finished second on the road after Hamilton, followed by Nick Heidfeld of BMW Sauber. Hamilton received a drive-through penalty, which demoted him to third place and advanced Massa and Heidfeld to first and second positions. McLaren appealed the decision at the FIA International Court of Appeal. Their case, however, was judged inadmissible, with the Court ruling that drive-through penalties cannot be challenged. The penalty created a large amount of criticism from the global press, mainly from the United Kingdom and Italy, with several former drivers questioning the decision. Massa's retrospective win, with Hamilton demoted to third, narrowed the gap in the Championship from six points to just two.

F1 race report infoboxes
[edit]Hi Ste900R. Thanks for the great work you have been doing adding infoboxes to F1 race report articles. One tiny request: when adding an infobox, can you please include the circuit name as part of the Location parameter, per WP:F1 standard practice. Thanks, and keep up the good work. DH85868993 (talk) 08:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine - there's no deadline. Good luck with your exams. DH85868993 (talk) 10:02, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
Since only you have made significant edits to the article, and it was you who then merged the content elsewhere, I (or any other administrator) can speedy delete it for you under criterion #G7 if you like. Uncle G (talk) 15:26, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

Article of the month - Damon Hill, kept at Featured Article status after review.
 Damon Graham Devereux Hill OBE (born 17 September 1960) is a retired British racing driver from England. In 1996 Hill won the Formula One World Championship; as the son of the late Graham Hill, he is the only son of a world champion to win the title. His father died in a plane crash when Hill was 15, leaving the family in reduced circumstances and Hill came to professional motorsports at the relatively late age of 23 by racing motorcycles. After some minor success, he moved on to single-seater racing cars, and progressed steadily up the ranks to the International Formula 3000 championship by 1989, where although often competitive he never won a race. Hill became a test driver for the Formula One title-winning Williams team in 1992. He was unexpectedly promoted to the Williams race team the following year after 1992 champion Nigel Mansell's departure and took the first of his 22 victories at the 1993 Hungarian Grand Prix. During the mid 1990s, Hill was Michael Schumacher's main rival for the Formula One Driver's Championship. The two clashed on and off the track; their collision at the 1994 Australian Grand Prix gave Schumacher his first title by a single point. Hill won the 1996 World Drivers' Championship, but was dropped by Williams for the following season. He went on to drive for the less competitive Arrows and Jordan teams, and in 1998 gave Jordan its first win. Hill retired from racing after the 1999 season. He has since launched several businesses as well as making appearances playing the guitar with celebrity bands. In 2006, he became president of the British Racing Drivers' Club, succeeding Jackie Stewart.
