I don't know how important the auto racer Justin Wilson is, but there is another Justin Wilson, a Cajun cookbook author and humourist who deserves a place in Wikipedia. Go see www.justinwilson.com
I am unhappy that it says he is from Sheffield, as I am 99.9% sure he is from Rotherham. I cannot find anywhere that says this plainly, so this must be checked by someone else.
In the Q & A bit on his website he says he is from Woodall. It's got a Sheffield post code but it's really east of Sheffield and South of Rotherham. For the sake of clarity I'd suggest leaving it as Sheffield! http://www.justinwilson.co.uk/site.php?section=2&part=read&question=47
He may well have been born in Sheffield, as that is the place with the nearest maternity hospital, but his home village, Woodall, is definitely in the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham - see Harthill, South Yorkshire (Most Rotherham areas have a Sheffield postcode) Jud 22:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC) Justin was born in Rotherham general hospital and lived in Kimberworth, Rotherham before then moving to Micklebring, Rotherham. The family then moved to Woodhall, Sheffield. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.26.81.242 ( talk) 20:03, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

The article only states that he was dropped for financial reasons and ignores the fact he was rather disappointing during his time with the team. I know most articles tend to be slightly kind to the person being described, but I feel that as this is an encyclopedia such information should be included. At the moment the only source I have is rather poor http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:a4cDNJGkbfYJ:www.f1rejects.com/centrale/2003/review/others/index.html+justin+wilson+suzuka+2003&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=37&gl=uk (note: And, worst of all, he was no more impressive in the Jaguar than Pizzonia had been) however looking at the relevant results shows that this was indeed the case. Any thoughts as to what should be added? Spenalzo ( talk) 01:01, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
He seems to be out of a job now, but no word on that anywhere. Just his omission in the NHL driver listing - they have 3 drivers listed in teh Indycar section for 2009 and none is Justin...-- Amedeo Felix ( talk) 13:35, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
In both the IZOD Indycar series and Champ car series, Wilson is listed as having won several races, but his Best Finishes are listed as 9th and 2nd, respectively. Is this referring to the championship? If so, it needs clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.72.6 ( talk) 09:10, 24 June 2014 (UTC)

This article states: "a nose cone from Sage Karam's crashed car collided with Wilson's head" Just how many nose cones does a race car have - should be "the." Also, "collided with" doesn't sound right - struck would be better. It also hit his helmet, not his head directly (although I guess it could have penetrated). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.158.48.16 ( talk) 19:22, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

in the opening paragraph it says "To date, he is the tallest person to have raced in Formula One" but there is no reference for that. Can either a citation needed tag be addded, or a reference given. 194.28.124.55 ( talk) 03:00, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
Although commonly misreported as being from Sheffield, Woodall is actually in Rotherham. Some sources are more accurate such as http://www.itv.com/news/calendar/update/2015-08-25/family-tribute-to-justin-wilson/ which correctly say Rotherham. I suppose someone may identify themselves as being from somewhere they weren't techincally born in. Not sure how we deal with these cases. -- 74.57.221.101 ( talk) 17:28, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
While there is indeed a source claiming Wilson was the tallest ever Formula One driver, I have removed this as Hans Joachim Stuck is taller than Wilson. Justin Wilson was 193 cm (6 ft 3 in) tall ( [7], [8], [9]). Hans Joachim Stuck is (or at least used to be) 194 cm (6 ft 4 in) tall ( [10], [11]). -- SpeedKing ( talk) 17:21, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

@ NorthBySouthBaranof: The fine details as to where the debris came from and how it was launched into Wilson's path are adequately explained in the body of the article. For the purposes of the lead however, all that's relevant and important is that he was struck by debris. GhostOfDanGurney ( talk) 20:15, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
absolutely necessaryconstruction, I simply disagree with you - there is no such requirement, even if I was to agree that it is not
absolutely necessary, that does not justify unilateral removal of well-sourced statements which might merely be
necessary. Again, I invite you to open an RFC; if there's a consensus that it doesn't belong in the lede, then I shall of course yield to that consensus. But right now, a WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS clearly exists for material which has been in the article, unchallenged, for more than half a decade. NorthBySouthBaranof ( talk) 01:06, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Should this article say in the lead that it was Sage Karam's car specifically that the debris that struck Wilson came off of?
