Okay, so the exact nature of the MINI-Prodrive arrangement seems to be unclear. Some people seem to think it should be listed as MINI, others - myself included - believe it should be Prodrive. Some third parties are lobbying for "MINI/Prodrive" to satisfy everyone. Since it's a cause for contention, I'm putting this here to discuss the way it should be represented.
My case is this: the team should be listed as Prodrive because we do not know the extent of MINI's involvement. It could well be that the team is intended to be the official MINI World Rally Team, but at the same time it could just as easily be a case of Prodrive looking to re-enter the championship and doing so with the Countryman. We have no confirmed details about this relationship, other than that it will be Prodrive running the MINI Countryman. Therefore, to call the team "MINI/Prodrive" would fall under the category of original research because it is inventing a name for something. Likewise, to simply refer to it as "MINI" is an unsourced addition. And so we are therefore obligated to call it "Prodrive", at least until we get confirmation of the official team name. The objective of Wikipedia is to be the most complete archive of knowledge available to man. Based on the information available to us, the name "Prodrive" is the most complete because it has evidence to support it.
Also, to Gedwards: I very specifically asked you to stop changing the name in the table until such time as we had confirmation of the name, and that repeated edits would consitute vandalism since you made edits to a page after being asked not to, knowing that the information you were adding was incorrect. You were asked to stop on the article history page, you were asked to stop on your talk page, and now you're being asked to stop on an article discussion page. If you edit the table again, with the knowledge that what you are adding is false or misleading, I will have no choice but to report you for vandalism. I don't want to do it - but don't think that I won't. Please stop, at least until we come to a consensus on the matter. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 12:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Would somebody mind explaining to User:Gedwards1990 that the use of the name Prodrive is perfectly acceptable here? He doesn't seem to be able to understand this, and is trying to get moderators involved for the sake of him winning an argument. Prisonermonkeys ( talk) 11:56, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
