Help with trimming Marc Márquez

@Crapat2hu came across this article and asked me to post here on his behalf; please direct any questions to him.

The article is extremely detailed to the point of reading more like an entry on a fan site than an encyclopaedia article. Any advice on what is worth keeping and what can be cut? Rosaecetalk ♡ contribs 12:06, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Crapat2hu Hey there, just find this topic scrolling through the talk page. Don't think I can offer much advice but if I would, I'd prioritize condensing the lead section and career section first at least. You can narrow down the more highly specific ones from the lead section since there's already a record section and it could be mentioned in the career section. While the career section itself could be segmented more into like groups of years, particularly in his time in MotoGP. Like you can make it like 2013-14, 2015-16, 2017-2019, 2020-23, and the rest though that's just what I'm thinking of. Hope this helps! RollonLaurent (talk) 08:53, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Manual of Style guides

I'd like to offer an opinion, this project could really use some specific manual of styles, specifically for rider and season articles. It can help in maintaining the articles quality. Because I'll be real, it's really hard to uphold an article's quality without at least some concrete rules. Poor and unnecessary edits can be waived away on the grounds that they are allowed somehow, it's just tiring to see them with their qualities remain as such.

Unreferenced motorcycle racing biographies

Hi. I write from WP:WikiProject Unreferenced articles, where we're currently holding a drive to reduce the backlog of completely unreferenced articles. One of our goals is to get the number of unreferenced BLPs to zero, and the backlog now stands at well under a hundred. A number of those are biographies of motorcycle racers, and I was hoping that this project might be able to help out getting them referenced. The list is available at this PetScan query, but also given below. Thanks for your help!
