Sex, Lies, and Auto Racing

[edit]

I'm wishing to discuss a reversion.

I anonymously created this page & added "When I was in F1, sex was safe and motor racing was dangerous", knowing that it might be challenged. Not only has he made the same humorous statement many times in many forms, making a definitive version difficult to track down, I'm also not sure that he was the originator. I was hoping that someone would fix this. The quote is frequently attributed to Jackie. If anyone can reliably source this quote or some variant, I think it deserves to be included in this wiki.

BTW, I was surprised by several things in this process:

  • Page creation by anonymous users is permitted here.
  • A page on Jackie did not already exist.
  • How quickly others added to the page.
  • How quickly my substandard contribution got jumped upon.
  • How well standards are followed in the WikiMedia offshoots.
