User talk:The Bushranger
Welcome to Wikidata, The Bushranger!
Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!
Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:
- Introduction – An introduction to the project.
- Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
- Community portal – The portal for community members.
- User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
- Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
- Project chat – Discussions about the project.
- Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.
Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.
Best regards!
Hey Bushranger.
Glad to see you're trying out Wikidata. If you have any questions, feel free to drop by and ask. And remember to keep things lowercase! — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 01:30, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Drivers
[edit]Hi, The Bushranger! I've been writing "racecar driver" as the description of some items, but you have changed some of them to "raceing driver". I prefer racecar driver, because there are motorcycle and boat racing drivers as well. I believe that distinguishing them is very relevant. Bye! --NaBUru38 (talk) 13:18, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
- "Racecar driver", however, is an atrociously unprofessional phrase. Motorcycle racing competitors are "Motorcycle riders" - you don't ride a motorcycle - and boat racers are "boat racers". Over on en.wiki "Racecar driver" was depreciated awhile back because it's unencylopedic sounding. - The Bushranger (talk) 01:03, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
Florida road descriptions
[edit]Hi! Unfortunately I've had to redo some of your descriptions for Florida roads - the length will be going in the statements once we get those enabled, and the terminii may be at some point too. --Rschen7754 07:23, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
