Could you consider adding this template to your userpage? It is very helpful in case translators are needed and such.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 15:13, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

OK, done. John Anderson 13:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

The host nation should be highlighted in a different color.

Hi, on the Knowledge (XXG):Olympic conventions page, you voted to oppose this measure, but on the Knowledge (XXG) talk:Olympic conventions page, you voted to support it. The voting from the project page have been merged into the talk page, and this was the only case where someone had voted different ways on each page. I have changed the vote to neutral for now. Can you please go here and change your vote to the way you would like it? Wikipedia_talk:Olympic_conventions#The_host_nation_should_be_highlighted_in_a_different_color. Thanks. --Josilot 03:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I do want to apologize for changing your vote, I can see by the comment you left that it upset you, and I'm sorry that it happened. The only reason I did it was because, like I said, you had voted two different ways in the same poll (why the two were worded differently, and why voting was allowed in both of them at the same time, I don't know). Also, the comment you made got me thinking. You support highlighting the host country, but not in blue as it is now. Perhaps you can suggest to me what color you think it should be? I highly doubt that there will be a followup resolved after this one passes that says "ok, now that we've decided to go with a highlight, we need to pick a color". The wording may be confusing, but by supporting the measure you are supporting leaving the 2006 table as is, with the highlight applied in a darkish blue. Anyway, I just wanted to clear up some things and let you know that I'm sorry for the confusion.--Josilot 20:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Apology accepted. My idea is, the highlight should be an only slightly darker shade of grey. The dark blue is too much, I think. If my vote will be interpreted as supporting, I will change it. John Anderson 21:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi John, I made the change (which you are welcome to revert) to reduce the scrolling needed to reach letters further down the alphabet and to reduce the waste of space, unaware that there was a discussion about the format of the page. On that discussion (which I have now seen), I think that adding more information would be a good idea to make the list more encyclopaedic. mattbr 12:10, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the list should be alphabetical with the category of star, year of award and the address. I'm not sure the nationality of the person is needed as this can be found from the main article. I don't think adding a show/hide bar is a good idea either. As a side note, I am working through the list to add the category to articles that don't have it already and checking the official website before I add it, but there are some names which are not on the official site but are on the list, such as Aaron Carter and Adam Sandler, is the website definative in these cases? mattbr 15:17, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
Well, I know I would rather trust the official website than the list here, unless I had acctually seen a certain star on the Walk of Fame myself (which I haven't, I've never been to California). John Anderson 09:18, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
Just to let you know I have made a change. See my comment on the talk page. mattbr 09:34, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Name changes

You're moving article names without respecting consensus. Please discuss issues like these before making the moves. Preferably at Talk:Skåne. Your choice of "Scania (region)" is also not a particularly good one. If the article is to be moved it should be to "Scania".

I would also recommend that you revert the name changes in articles that you have made.

Peter 15:09, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

What consensus? It is called Scania in English, no consensus can change that. I can't move it to Scania, because that is a disambiguation page. I will not revert any changes, rather I would prefer to continue changing links to go to Scania rather than "Skåne". John Anderson 10:51, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
The consensus at Talk:Skåne is not in favor of your actions. Please revert your changes until you've actually read up on the matter. You're only going to provoke minor reverting contests by unilateral edits based on personal experience rather than neutral arguments and sources.
Peter 11:16, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I see. I did not know a consensus in a discussion on Knowledge (XXG) could change the common usage of the English language. But I'll take a look at that talk page. John Anderson 11:22, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, John! I've just learnt from Olessi that you did make an official request of moving Skåne → Scania on October 10, but didn't comply with the rest of the procedure. I'm sure this was an oversight; you really didn't hide your wish for a request; but until the "steps 2 and 3" were completed, we others didn't understand that THE OFFICIAL request was ongoing. (Please see the end of the Skåne talk page, and the description of the procedure at WP:RM!)
Well, no trouble this time - except that I still think we should take part of the Knowledge (XXG):Naming conventions (geographic names) discussion first, that is - but please make all three steps the next time you request a move! It makes the world a little, little easier to understand :-) JoergenB 01:34, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! John Anderson 10:56, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the note on the DRV. If you want I'm happy to email you the version that was deleted, if you are interested in trying to continue that project on some other site. However, please do not "start over" unless the DRV allows it -- sometimes an article concept is rejected by the community, and if that's the case, ignoring the community and recreating the article is disruptive and will just lead to WP:CSD#G4 deletions anyway. Mangojuice 18:43, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, after my original outburst, I have been given it thought and acctually considered the same thing even before you suggested it here, that is, publish and continue working on the list on some other page. I think it would be better, given that it is a list of less useful facts, more of curiosities. However, I was under the impression the article has to be undeleted to retrieve the contents of it? John Anderson 16:07, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Hey -- sorry I didn't notice this earlier but I usually expect responses on my own talk page. Anyway, I can email you the deleted contents, but you have to either email me (using the email this user link) or specify an email address so I can email you. Mangojuice 12:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah. Whoops. Anyway, no need to look up my email address. Just go to my user page and click "E-mail this user". Mangojuice 16:51, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics

I don't want to make a big deal of this, so lets keep it as Trivia then if you insist. And another thing, had the Finns acted differently regarding this, the Swedes COULD have lost their gold medals. It's not at all certain that that would have been the case. But let's keep it as Trivia.

Bandy

Hi, Very nice that you have done so much in bandy related articles lately. Actually Rolf Käck stepped down from the possition as secretary general at the meeting arround the World Championships this year. Unfortunatly the international federations home page is not updated often enough, so these sort of things might slip through. Sveriges Radio has a short article about this, for example. Linkan 12:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Do we have a new Secretary General? Anyway, I'll remove that line again. John Anderson 12:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
New Secretary General will be appointed after the summer. (I moved your comment here since I prefer discussions held in one place). Linkan 12:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Recent F1 results for Ferrari

Hi John. Congratulations on taking on the challenge of adding Ferrari's F1 results to the article. I have a question - do you have access to fastest lap information? It occurs to me that it would probably be good to add in the fastest laps "as we go" rather than going through and adding them all afterwards. DH85868993 09:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Boot fetish redirect

I redirected the Boot Fetish article to the Garment fetishism article because it lacks any attribution at all. I left a small blurb on its existence without making any real assertions about it because of that lack of attribution. If you feel that it would be better integrated into the shoe fetish article that would be something I wouldn't mind mulling over. How about a "Footwear fetish" article that could integrate both and assit with attribution? Hope to hear your thoughts either way. NeoFreak 15:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Bandy World Cup

Yes, I could have corrected the grammar on that sentence. However, it interrupted the flow of the article - the sentences both before and after are about the tournament as a whole, not the timing of individual matches. The fact that some matches are played at night seems like trivia at best since that's not unique to this sport, if the sentence belongs at all, it does not belong in such a prominent place in the article. Obviously, I didn't say all this in my edit summary, it would have been much too long, so I just mentioned it was ungrammatical, not out of place (with no good place to put it), insignificant, and probably unneccessary. Edward321 15:24, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Democratic Party clean up

Recently you deleted a bunch of parties from the Democratic Party disamb. Fair enough. But you deleted both parties for the Australian listing. I can understand why you dropped the "Liberty and Democracy Party" because you wouldn't be aware that they also call themselves the "Liberal Democratic Party"; but you also deleted the "Australian Democrats", yet left other parties called "democrats". Was there a reason you deleted Australia? -- PaulxSA (talk) 17:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Triple Crown

There has never been a Triple Crown trophy, nor have there been any rules. It's a concept introduced by journalists - often enough that I suppose it is worth an article, though there isn't absolute consistency about what it would be. I have never seen any reference to a Constructors' Triple Crown, so I think we'd be venturing into WP:OR discussing that without a cite - interesting though the discussion might be. We'd also be opening the gates to all kinds of other extensions to the idea. Start a discussion on the talk page if you disagree strongly, though. -- Ian Dalziel (talk) 13:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion

Proposed deletion of List of comics spin-offs

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of comics spin-offs, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Knowledge (XXG)'s criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Knowledge (XXG) is not" and Knowledge (XXG)'s deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Duggy 1138 (talk) 12:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD

FYI, it's now an AFD. Duggy 1138 (talk) 08:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Questions

  • There is still a link from the Spin-off page because no one has removed the link on that page.
  • List of Television Spin-offs hasn't been deleted because no one has proposed that it be deleted. I looked at it when I proposed the deletion of the comic book page, and most of the problems I had with the comics page aren't there. There isn't the sheer number of potential additions to the list, spin-offs are rarer, citable and don't contain as much original research. It certainly doesn't have the title/character screw-up that the comics list had. It has problems but not insurmountable ones like the comics one has.
  • As to why the page was deleted, that should be well covered in the AfD discussion.
    Duggy 1138 (talk) 00:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
  • I didn't delete the page.
  • It wasn't a bad page, it was a page that didn't - and couldn't - work properly. No amount of work was going to fix that I'm afraid. Others seemed to agree.

2009 "Standings after the race" tables

Hi John. I have started a discussion at WP:F1 about the changes you recently made to the "Standings after the race" tables in 2009 Singapore Grand Prix, 2009 Italian Grand Prix and 2009 Japanese Grand Prix. I invite you to contribute to the discussion. DH85868993 (talk) 09:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Nps-parka-uniform.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Knowledge (XXG). This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Knowledge (XXG)'s policies and guidelines.

Formula One sponsorship liveries

Hi John. I meant to leave a message on your talk page regarding my reversion of your edit but I got distracted and forgot to do it - apologies for that. I personally don't have strong feelings either way about whether the page should be split; I reverted your change because your original edit summary (and your comment on User:Abdul Qayyum Ahmad's talk page) suggested that you were unaware of the new page and thought the information had just been completely deleted. FYI, I've added a link at WT:F1 to the discussion you started at Talk:Formula One sponsorship liveries, to gather opinion from those who may not have the article on their watchlist. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 20:59, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

BMW Sauber links

BMW Sauber mentions should link to Sauber, as that article is now about the Sauber team all the way from 1993 to the present day, as it was agreed by most that they are the same team. BMW in Formula One was intended as a solution to those who said that BMW's participation would be ignored if the merger took place. It was not intended as simply a new name for the BMW Sauber article, as that acheives nothing really. If you like, you could link them like this: ] ]. Please do not link them as ]. There is a link to the BMW article in the BMW section of the Sauber article, for those who want it. BMW were only a really manufacturer in their own right during the 1950's and 1960's, as detialed by the new article. During recent years, they simply owned an existing, established team. Thank you. - mspete93 15:20, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

It was never agreed that 2006-09 should link to BMW. You suggested it some time after the discussion had pretty much been settled. I'll raise it at WT:F1 and see what the project thinks. For now, you may as well save yourself some time and effort and leave the links as they are until there is a settlement. The whole of the old BMW Sauber article has been merged into Sauber so there is not much point in links going anywhere other than there. - mspete93 15:26, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
FYI, we are still showing the team as BMW Sauber, as that is what they are called, regardless of the lack of input from BMW. Links should direct to Sauber, but show as BMW Sauber until the team name is changed. This should either be achieved by ] ] or ]. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:14, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
If you read what I write, I'm saying that yes, it should link to Sauber, but it should show as BMW Sauber. That is not in question anywhere, to my knowledge. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:32, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
That is not what the discussion is about. I can provide any number of sources to verify that the team is called BMW Sauber. Revert your changes, please, you are in error. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:38, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Why is it still listed as BMW Sauber in the season article then? There is no policy to rename this team arbitrarily, going against the team itself, the FIA and all reliable sources. Again, I urge you to revert yourself. Or find this so-called consensus. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:43, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
The question is not how we display the team name - we have no choice how to display the team name. The discussion is about which articles the name links to. That is entirely different. There has never been a discussion about changing the displayed team name to "Sauber", unless you can find it. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:45, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
What are you talking about? We don't get to change the team name. I am still waiting for you to produce the consensus where it was agreed that we do not mention BMW in the team name. It is you who is making edits without discussion, no-one else. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:55, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
If there's such a consensus for this, how come you are the only editor making this change anywhere? All the 2010 articles displayed the team name as BMW Sauber until you changed them all. Why aren't you discussing this on the relevant article talk page? Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:59, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Be very careful about who you are describing as ridiculous. You have made changes to articles with no consensus, reverted in a way that suggests an edit war, and have so far failed to discuss this on the relevant talk page. I have asked you to provide evidence of this discussion where it was decided to arbitrarily "shorten" the team name of BMW Sauber, and you have so far been unable to do so. The burden is on you, since all articles displayed BMW Sauber until recently, when you changed them all. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:02, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Both de la Rosa's and Kobayashi's articles show the entrant/constructor as BMW Sauber. The designation of the chassis, i.e. the C29, is not at question here. In race articles, what is displayed is the constructor-engine, in this case, BMW Sauber-Ferrari. Constructor - BMW Sauber. Chassis - Sauber C29. You appear to have not noticed, but I am discussing this (currently on my own) at Talk:Sauber - where else would you like me to discuss it? Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:19, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Relevant article talk pages override wikiproject talk pages, but I will highlight it at the WP. And no, making a suggestion to which nobody replies is not a consensus. Is that all you've got? There is no consensus, is there? Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:30, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
No it isn't - so, with no input from anyone else whatsoever, you claim a consensus? For a start, I disagree, so it's not a consensus. The consensus for my point of view lies in the fact that all articles read "BMW Sauber" until you changed them, and all outside sources refer to them as such, without exception - a fact you have not quibbled with. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:38, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Discussion at Knowledge (XXG) talk:WikiProject Formula One#Sauber shows a consensus to keep the name displayed as BMW Sauber. I don't know why you did not contribute to that discussion. I have reverted the relevant articles. It also appears to be very clear that there was no consensus at any point to back up your edits, making your reverts very obstructive. Please read Knowledge (XXG):Consensus - an unanswered suggestion on your part does not constitute a consensus, let alone one that can be used vigorously as a basis for reverting two other editors. That you then described my attitude as ridiculous is, in my opinion, very poor form. What a waste of time this all was. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:56, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Another editor has suggested that you did not have enough time to contribute to the discussion, and of course it is still open for you to contribute, but given that there was no consensus for your edits in the first place, the original versions of the articles should stand until any consensus for change is achieved, as per WP:STATUSQUO. Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:08, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
As I've said, the discussion is still open for you to contribute, but in the meantime, the articles should be reverted to their original versions, as per the guideline I quoted. The procedure is that if you want to make a change to the established versions, you discuss it and try to build a consensus. It is not correct procedure for you to change the articles then demand that I build a consensus for the original versions. Bretonbanquet (talk) 11:13, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
a) If you want to make a change to the status quo, it is up to you to build a consensus once it is clear that there is resistance to your change, which there was in this case, not only from me but from the IP whom you reverted. b) There is a considerable consensus now at the wikiproject page, currently 5:0. Including the two IPs who have edited to that effect, and adding you as well, it is 7:1. In fact, nobody has agreed with you yet, and it has been two days. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm not hiding behind anything and I'm not looking for anything. No prior discussed consensus is required, I don't know why you can't understand that. A discussion to build consensus is only required when there's a disagreement about something. We don't go around arguing the toss over every tiny thing. It was always the general practice of all editors to retain BMW in the constructor title. Everyone was happy with that, and nobody tried to change it - there is the consensus. There was no consensus for your change, and so if you can't build one, the change won't happen. If you don't read the guidelines, then it's hard for you to understand how it works, I guess. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:26, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I haven't changed my opinion at all. I assumed you were familiar with the guidelines. I've been here a while and I've always worked this way, because it's how editors are supposed to work. I do agree with the boldness principle but you have clearly never read Knowledge (XXG):BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. When someone reverts your change, you discuss it - you don't just keep reverting to your version as that is clearly edit-warring. You don't make your change and challenge the opposer to provide a consensus. You also don't claim that there was a consensus for your change on the project page when there patently was no such thing. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:44, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
Again, I'm sure you are trying to remain civil here. I know you thought there was a consensus, although it did take me a little while to grasp the interesting notion that you thought your unanswered suggestion on the project page constituted a consensus. It doesn't, as I am sure you are now aware. Given that you had no consensus, and I knew it, I was nowhere near an edit war, particularly as I only reverted you once on each article within a 24hr period. I accept that you thought you were right, but you don't seem to accept that you were in fact wrong. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:59, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
I'm familiar enough with the discussions that go on to have been sure there was no consensus. You seem to suggest I'm lying when I say that. I said to you at the start that there was never a discussion about it, and there wasn't. I asked you to produce the consensus you said existed, but that does not mean I wasn't sure whether it existed or not. I am at least smart enough to have gone back to look for it when you said it existed. It wasn't there (anywhere), so I knew. Your unanswered suggestion absolutely does not constitute a consensus or any agreement. There was no hint that anyone agreed to it. Nowhere anywhere does any Knowledge (XXG) guideline suggest that. I am happy to leave it there, as I do not wish flog a dead horse every night. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

    Article of the month – Ayrton Senna, current B-Class article.

    Ayrton Senna da Silva, (pronounced ; São Paulo, March 21, 1960, – Bologna Italy May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and three-time Formula One world champion. He was killed in a crash while leading the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, and remains the most recent Grand Prix driver to die at the wheel of a Formula One car.

    Senna began his motorsport career in karting and moved up the ranks to win the British Formula 3 championship in 1983. Making his Formula One debut with Toleman in 1984, he moved to Lotus-Renault the following year, and won six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. In 1988 he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda. Between them, Senna and Prost won fifteen out of the sixteen Grands Prix which took place that season, with Senna winning his first World Championship, a title he would go on to win again in 1990 and 1991. McLaren's performance declined in 1992, as the Williams-Renault combination began to dominate the sport, although Senna won five races to finish as runner-up in 1993. He moved to Williams in 1994, but suffered a fatal accident at the third race of the season at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Italy.

    Senna is regarded as one of the greatest drivers in the history of Formula One. In 2009, a poll of 217 current and former Formula One drivers chose Senna as their greatest Formula One driver, in a survey conducted by British magazine Autosport. He was recognised for his qualifying speed over one lap and from 1989 until 2006 held the record for most pole positions. He was among the most talented drivers in extremely rain-affected conditions, as shown by his performances in the 1984 Monaco Grand Prix, the 1985 Portuguese Grand Prix, and the 1993 European Grand Prix. He also holds the record for most victories at the prestigious Monaco Grand Prix (6) and is the third most successful driver of all time in terms of race wins. However, Senna courted controversy throughout his career, particularly during his turbulent rivalry with Alain Prost, which was marked by two championship-deciding collisions at the 1989 and 1990 Japanese Grands Prix.

    Defaultsort

    Ok, a couple of points. Firstly, all of those teams, with the possible exception of Torro Rosso and Ferrari, are commonly known as "Scuderia xxx", therefore they should sort to "Scuderia xxx". So actually I disagree with all your alterations, I just reverted the particularly odd ones. Secondly, it is bad manners to simply revert a reversion, that way revert wars lie. The established practice is WP:BRD. If you are unfamiliar with this you really should read it, as an editor of your standing really can't do what you just did without looking petulant. Pyrope 13:19, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

    Because we are a general interest encyclopedia and I argue that as the word "Scuderia" is Italian most English-speaking people see the team name as one whole entity. Your choice of Bayern Munich is actually fairly poorly chosen, as not only are the team not commonly referred to as FC Bayern, they also aren't known as "Muenchen" (or München) to anyone in the English-speaking world. The football project have always been a bit odd, and I suspect that their numbers have a large percentage of non-English native speakers. Regardless, this is the discussion we should have been having before you hit undo. Pyrope 13:41, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
    That's not the way that BRD works and never has been. It is incumbent on the party wishing to change the status quo to justify that action. Anyway, as we seem to be the only two that it matters to I'd prefer to work it out between us than litter WP:F1 just yet. Besides, thi is a fairly esoteric point of order, rather than a world-changing deviation in policy! My point is mainly that the word "scuderia" is, for most teams, an integral part of the name. It isn't just equivalent to an English team appending "Team" to its name. The actual Italian word for "team" is "squadra" (Alfa Romeo used to use this now and again in the days of Alfa Corse.) "Scuderia" means "stable" (the equine sort) and is an affectation rather than a true description, hence it is an important part of the teams' names; names by which they are widely known even to those of us who have followed F1 since being able to focus. Pyrope 17:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
    "Should have" was used because you are an established editor who has been contributing regularly for five years. This means that I assume a more than passing familiarity with the conventions and etiquette of Knowledge (XXG). The fact that you seem unaware of BRD is surprising as it has been around for as long time. I have been on both ends of the BRD process on quite a few occasions in the past and it works well. Most importantly, it lays out in black and white how two editors with different opinions can sort things out without descending to each simply reverting the other's edit, as your logic would do. As for knowing what "scuderia" means, why then did you assert that it meant "team"? It doesn't. You chose to misrepresent a term and my charitable interpretation was that you were misinformed. If you are telling me now that your presentation of that argument was intentional then that puts a different spin on it. Pyrope 21:03, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
    And by asking an Italian you show why detaching the word scuderia from a team's common name is problematic... you need to fully understand Italian or have a good working knowledge of the conventions of Formula One. Scuderia is an affectation that the rather aristocratic early Italian motor racing pioneers borrowed directly from horse racing (sport of kings, and all that) rather than descend to the bourgeois term squadra or another alternative. Its usage in this context isn't widespread even in Italy (take a look at Category:Italian auto racing teams), and is almost solely limited to auto racing where it is used. Take motorbikes for example: Ducati's SBK team is Ducati Corse; Aprilia use "Racing Team"; and MV Agusta, the venerable MV Agusta, they never bothered with anything beyond the company name. You are assuming that people using an English language site are just as comfortable and knowledgeable with Italian as they are in English, and that they know that Italian auto racing teams sometimes style themselves scuderia even though it doesn't mean team. Making those sorts of assumptions about the end users isn't justified for a general interest English-language encyclopedia, where we should be assuming no prior knowledge of the subject area or of any language beyond English. Pyrope 21:49, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
    Resorting to sarcasm already? Surely you have something more impressive than that in reserve, don't you? I'm just pointing out a pattern that I can't find an exception to. If you can, please let me know. As for Ecurie, that too has been used and again I'm struggling to find examples that don't involve four wheels or hooves. Pyrope 22:05, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

    Survey

    Hi John,

    I am a PhD student at the Open University of Catalonia. I am currently preparing a research project about the governance processes in online collaborative communities, and I would like to kindly ask for your collaboration based on your experience in Knowledge (XXG). Interested in participating? Please drop me a note in my talk page. This would take around 20 of your time.

    Thanks! Aresj (talk) 09:31, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

    I see you declined the invitation. No problem. Thank you anyhow for replying. Aresj (talk) 10:30, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

    Mark Webber became the first driver since Kimi Räikkönen in 2005 to win two consecutive races by leading every lap in the process, when he won the Spanish and Monaco Grands Prix.
    Article of the month – Bruce McLaren, current Start-Class article.

    Bruce Leslie McLaren (30 August 1937 – 2 June 1970), born in Auckland, New Zealand, was a race-car designer, driver, engineer and inventor.

    His name lives on in the McLaren team which has been one of the most successful in Formula One championship history, with McLaren cars and drivers winning a total of 20 world championships. McLaren cars totally dominated CanAm sports car racing with 56 wins, a considerable number of them with him behind the wheel, between 1967 and 1972 (and five constructors’ championships), and have won three Indianapolis 500 races, as well as 24 Hours of Le Mans and 12 Hours of Sebring.

    As a nine year old, McLaren contracted Perthes disease in his hip which left his left leg shorter than the right. He spent two years in traction, but later often had a slight limp.

    Les and Ruth McLaren, his parents, owned a service station and workshop in Remuera, Auckland. Bruce spent all of his free hours hanging around the workshop. The McLaren family homestead is located in Ngaruawahia in the Northern Waikato region and still stands today.

    Linking of "Pts" in F1 driver/team results tables

    Hi John. I notice that recently you've linked the "Pts" column heading in several F1 driver/team results tables to List of Formula One World Championship pointscoring systems. Are you planning to do this for all WDC drivers and teams? If so, you may care to discuss your intention at WP:F1, (a) to check that there is consensus in favour of the change (although I can't imagine why there wouldn't be) and (b) to see whether anyone else wants to help out with the task (or maybe it could even be done by a bot?) I've been through and updated every WDC driver article manually in the past and believe me, it takes a long time. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 02:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

    Article of the month – McLaren M2B, new Good Article.

    The McLaren M2B was the McLaren team's first Formula One racing car, used during the 1966 season. It was conceived in 1965 and preceded by the M2A development car. Designed by Robin Herd, the innovative but problematic Mallite material was used in its construction. The car was powered by Ford and Serenissima engines but both lacked power and suffered from reliability issues.

    Driven by team founder Bruce McLaren, the M2B had a short Grand Prix career, entering six races and starting only four. It scored the team's first point at the British Grand Prix and two more points at the United States Grand Prix.

    Article of the month – 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Good Article Nominee

    The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and Glock's first podium finish.

    Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.

    There is a concensus here that the exonym Scania is used when writing about the traditional historical province with the endonym Skåne. Scania is a latin form and has been used for the province since many hundred years. When it comes to Skåne län and Region Skåne, they are administrative and municipal entities created some ten years ago. They are far too new to have got exonyms. They are almost always referred to in English using the endonym Skåne as shown here: http://www.skane.se/default.aspx?id=54721 and here http://www.lansstyrelsen.se/skane/Om_Lansstyrelsen/In+English/contact.htm. --Muniswede (talk) 07:48, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

    Article of the month – 2008 Japanese Grand Prix, featured on the Main Page.

    The 2008 Japanese Grand Prix (formally the XXXIV Fuji Television Japanese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 12, 2008, at the Fuji Speedway, Oyama, Japan. It was the 16th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Fernando Alonso for the Renault team from fourth position on the starting grid. Robert Kubica finished second for BMW Sauber, and Kimi Räikkönen third for Ferrari.

    Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen began from third, next to Alonso. At the first corner Hamilton braked late, forcing Räikkönen wide. Hamilton was later given a penalty, and was criticised by the British racing press for overly aggressive driving. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, Hamilton's principal Championship rival, was penalised after an incident on lap two in which he touched Hamilton's car, causing it to spin. The incident dropped Hamilton to the back of the field, from where he was unable to regain a pointscoring position. Massa later collided with Sébastien Bourdais of Toro Rosso. Bourdais was penalised after the race, and demoted from sixth to tenth position. The penalty prompted widespread criticism from the racing media and ex-drivers.

    The victory was Alonso's second consecutive win; he started from 15th on the grid to win the Singapore Grand Prix two weeks prior. Kubica held off a determined attack from Räikkönen in the closing laps to take second place. Massa's seventh place narrowed his gap to Hamilton in the Drivers' Championship to five points. Ferrari established a seven point lead over the McLaren team in the Constructors' Championship, with two races of the season remaining.

    Article of the month – Brabham BT49, new Good Article

    The Brabham BT49 (pronounced /ˈbræbəm/) is a Formula One racing car designed by South African Gordon Murray for the British Brabham team. The BT49 competed in the 1979 to 1982 Formula One World Championships and was used by Brazilian driver Nelson Piquet to win his first World Championship in 1981.

    The car was initially designed in 1979 as a short notice replacement for the team's Alfa Romeo-engined BT48, after Brabham team owner Bernie Ecclestone decided to end his relationship with the Italian engine manufacturer. The BT49 was created in only six weeks using elements of the BT48 chassis together with the widely used Cosworth DFV engine. It is a single seater with an open cockpit and exposed wheels. The monocoque chassis is made from aluminium alloy and carbon fibre composites. The car was fitted with controversial hydropneumatic suspension and water-cooled brakes at different points in its life.

    The BT49 was updated over four seasons taking a total of seven wins, six poles and 135 points. Seventeen were eventually built, most of which survive today. Some are used successfully in historic motorsport; Christian Glaesel won the 2005 FIA Historic Formula One Championship driving a BT49D.

    Article of the month – 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, currently undergoing WP:PR

    The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It was Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and was Glock's first podium finish.

    The majority of the race was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship rivals began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to win.

    Skåne County

    The exonym Scania County for the Swedish administratve subdivision Skåne län is very seldom used. Google gives 98,300 hits for "Skåne County" and just 4,310 hits for "Scania County". Even the Swedish name "Skåne län" gives more hits in English then "Scania County". I have now written a section called "Endonym and exonym" in which I try to explain the different usages. --Muniswede (talk) 12:04, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

    Article of the month – 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Featured Article candidate

    The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It was Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and was Glock's first podium finish.

    The majority of the race was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship rivals began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to win. Räikkönen set the race's fastest lap in the other Ferrari, but was hampered by a poor qualifying performance and was stuck behind Alonso and Glock in turn for almost all of the race. Robert Kubica, another championship contender, finished eighth after finding his BMW Sauber car to be uncompetitive at the Hungaroring.

    Article of the month – Indianapolis Motor Speedway, current Good article nominee.

    The Indianapolis Motor Speedway, located in Speedway, Indiana (an enclave suburb of Indianapolis) in theUnited States, is the home of the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race and the Brickyard 400.

    It has existed since 1909, and is the original Speedway, the first racing facility historically to incorporate the word. With a permanent seating capacity for more than 257,000 people and infield seating that raises capacity to approximately 400,000, it is the largest and highest-capacity sporting facility in the world.

    Considered relatively flat by American standards but high-banked by Europeans, the track is a two-and-a-half-mile, nearly rectangular oval with dimensions that have remained essentially unchanged since its inception: four 1/4-mile turns, two 5/8-mile long straightaways between the fourth and first and second and third turns, and two 1/8-mile short straightaways, termed "short chutes," between the first and second, and third and fourth turns.

    A modern infield road course was constructed between 1998 and 2000, incorporating the western and southern portions of the oval (including the southwest turn) to create a 2.605-mile (4.192 km) track. In 2008, the road course was modified to replace the southwest turn with an additional infield section, for motorcycle use, resulting in a 2.621-mile (4.218 km) course. Altogether, the current grounds have expanded from an original 320 acres (1.3 km) on which the Speedway was first built to cover over an area of over 559. Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987, it currently remains the only such landmark to be affiliated with automotive racing history.

    In addition to the Indianapolis 500, the speedway also hosts NASCAR's Brickyard 400. From 2000 to 2007 the speedway also hosted the United States Grand Prix for Formula One. The inaugural USGP race drew an estimated 225,000 spectators, setting a Formula One attendance record. In 2008, the Speedway added the Indianapolis motorcycle Grand Prix, a Grand Prix motorcycle racing event.

    Since August 19, 1909, 248 automobile races have taken place, with 137 separate drivers winning. After winning his fifth United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis in 2006, Formula One driver Michael Schumacher holds the record for most victories between the three major events (Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400 and theF1 USGP), with all taking place on the Forumula One version of the road course. A. J. Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears each won the Indianapolis 500 four times on the traditional oval, and Jeff Gordon has also won four times on the oval in the Brickyard 400. No driver to date has won any combination of the three major events, with only one driver, (Juan Pablo Montoya), having competed in all three, winning the Indy 500, finishing fourth in the US Grand Prix, and placing second in the Brickyard 400. Johnny Aitken holds the record for total wins at the track, with 15 victories (all on the oval), during the 1909, 1910 and 1916 seasons.
