The Info Box for Peter Revson states that his last race was the 1974 Grand Prix in Johannesburg. This statement is incorrect, because Revson was killed in a PRACTICE RUN for the Grand Prix. The Grand Prix was held after his death.
I don't know the date and location of Peter Revson's last race, but it wasn't in Johannesburg in 1974.

The source page does not mention any of the claims in the section I removed. The citation is a bio of a cartoonist who draws cartoon automobiles and uses the alias Adam Revson. Based on the subject matter of the cartoons, it appears the cartoonist is attempting to capitalize on the Revson name by using it as his alias. The source page does not state Peter Revson is this person’s father, it does not mention a paternity suit, nor does it mention he is the last heir to the Revlon empire. I could find no other citations suggesting any of this is true. There is much information online regarding the Revlon family heirs. The statement that this cartoonist is an accomplished artist is opinion. Furthermore, a paternity suit would not be settled 3 years after Revson’s death.

Revson was a known playboy and fathering multiple children, let alone one which became the subject of a paternity suit is certainly plausible, especially given several, albeit unsubstantiated, internet links discuss an Adam, in some cases, an Adam Revson. Following that tack, it is possible given the nature of these posts Abe the wherewithal of the Revson family, that its entirely possible a settlement, as opposed to actual litigation and adjudication took place, whet taking three years or otherwise, after his death, especially if the claim was made against the estate. Moreover, while Adam Revson is a published illustrator, it appears only one such publication, CARtoons Magazine, is auto related, and a publication per his bio that he first began working for in his elementary school youth. A child would hardly have the opportunistic verve to simply pick the name of a relatively obscure racer to capitalize on what was then, apparently, more of a gopher-type position, rather than artist. Furthermore, while a brief search reveals that an Adam Revson had a documented amateur auto racing career, he has also been involved in numerous independent business pursuits where such a surname would be irrelevant, if not impossible to utilize if not his actual given, or legally changed name, especially where professional licensure instances are concerned. It also appears Adam Revson lived and worked in close geographical proximity to the remaining Revson family in Dutchess County New York and Palm Beach and Martin Counties in Florida. Finally, such illegitimate trysts, children produced therein, requisite monetary settlements, especially when concerning at least one party of immense wealth, often have no distinctly verifiable legal or other paper trails, or otherwise publicly available, verifiable, factual information online or otherwise, usually because of non disclosure agreements, or, simply, to avoid the seemly nature of the facts disrupting an otherwise stolid family history. Thus, in light of the aforementioned, the blanket culling of what information is available to the odd researcher based solely on personal conjecture—incorrect at that—is baseless, without merit, and goes against the very spirit of Wikipedia.

SSSB and Bretonbanquet Please read the actual resolution at [ [1]] which states: "There is consensus to use the national flag icon of an athlete in an international competition as a graphic symbol for that athlete for competitions where national flags are commonly used as representations of sporting nationality in the particular sport. There is consensus that F1 is such an international competition and that use of flag icons to represent a driver's chosen nationality is acceptable to represent their participation in an event where they represented that country. There is also consensus that the flags should not be used to represent the driver for other events where they do not represent a specific country or for general use." So no, there should not be a flag in the Infobox showing Revson's nationality. Mztourist ( talk) 07:44, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
