[edit] Kenneth Hansen

I have reverted the Kenneth Hansen page. If you feel Kenneth Hansen the rally driver needs a page, then create one with the name Kenneth Hansen (rally driver) and put a dab link on the current page. Moving a page without discussion, and then after doing so (creating many broken links) you made no attempt to fix them, is totally unacceptable. There are 28 speedway related links compared to 1 rally link. Please do not vandalise the page again. Hammer1980·^talk 17:11, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

According to his own website (and he should know best) as well as according to the first line of your text the correct name of the speedway biker is Kenneth Kruse Hansen. Therefore I don’t know why you’ve named the page Kenneth Hansen. The Swede Kenneth Hansen is not a Rally driver but with 13 FIA European championship titles the most successful Rallycross competitor in motorsport history. However, in case I would create an article Kenneth Hansen (rallycross) would you move your article at least to Kenneth Hansen (speedway) or something similar? BTW, I have problems with my internet access at the moment and was not able to fix broken links this afternoon. So you better should not use words like "vandalise" that quick… RX-Guru 21:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

There is no need to move the current page to Kenneth Hansen (speedway rider). Kruse is his middle name. The article is no different to any other article on Wikipedia, the subject's middle name is not often used. I have added a DAB to the current article to the page name you suggested for the Rallycross driver. With regard to the vandalism comment, moving and blanking out pages without discussion I would consider as vandalism. I still fail to see how using this name is "interfering" with the one article that had linked to the speedway article in error. I look forward to reading your Kenneth Hansen (rallycross) article as I enjoy Rallying and Rallycross myself. Hammer1980·^talk 01:19, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Folkrace vs Bangers rodeo

Have you got Bangers rodeos or so-called demolition derbys in Sweden? It is not the intention of Folkrace that the last man driving is the winner, after he has crashed all other competitors out of the race. Although Folkrace is driven with mostly terrible looking cars it is IMO some kind of "Rallycross for the poor" and has nothing to do with deliberately forcing other drivers to retire. Otherwise it would definetely not be regognised by the SBF. AFAIK Banger races are in no European country recognised by any ASN. RX-Guru (talk) 15:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Banger racing does not necessarily mean you have to crash all the orher cars. As it says at banger racing "drivers of old vehicles race against one another around a race track and the race is won in terms of the first car to the chequered flag". See Talk:Folkrace. // Liftarn (talk)

[edit] Boris Rung

Hey. My German is very rusty, but I started a stub by translating some of your text at fi:Boris Rung. You should really consider uploading that image (and your others too) to Commons, by the way. Thanks, Prolog (talk) 12:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
