Thanks for uploading File:KrisMeeke.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Grand Prix 2, current
Peer Review
Grand Prix 2, sometimes known as "GP2" and sold in the American market as Grand Prix II, is a racing simulator released by MicroProse in 1996. It was made under an official FIA license that featured the Formula One 1994 season, with all of the circuits, teams, drivers and cars. The cars were painted with liveries reflecting the races that did not allow tobacco and beer sponsors (i.e. 1994 French Grand Prix). It had 3D texture mapping and SVGA graphics, as well as an early but realistic physics engine. A large community of GP2 enthusiasts formed quickly and still exists today. Grand Prix 2 is recognized as one of the definitive racing simulations of its era.

Please don't go around removing references to British Isles with inaccurate terminology. The British Isles question has been discussed ad nauseum on various pages and there is a task force set up. Consensus is generally to leave them in and not to remove it from the various articles. If you wish to change the term, for which there is seemingly no encyclopaedic reason to change, then you will need to obtain consensus on the various talk pages. If you wish to bring up a specific example, then the appropriate forum is WP:BISLES. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 13:36, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

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 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 commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture 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.

For future reference, I shall point out that BT's area code lookup facility isn't a reliable source. Until recently, it was absolutely full of errors- see User talk:Eurosong/02x for the lowdown. For all I know, there probably still are errors.
Generally, if you want to look up a dialling code, please use Ofcom's facility. Ofcom is the authoritative source on such matters. -- Smjg ( talk) 21:59, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for stepping in on this issue. I can only apologise that your sensibility was responded to with such rudeness from Malleus Fatuorum and Nev1. Both of them are such accomplished editors, so it's a pity that they've resorted to mud-slinging of this shameful variety. I don't even know what I've done to elicit such a response! Anyway, thanks for your help. – Pee Jay 22:48, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
You have reverted me aginst talk page consensus three times at Ben Nevis. If you do so agin I will report you for breach of WP:3RR. Viewfinder ( talk)
With all due respect 3RR states "An editor must not perform more than three reverts (as defined below) on a single page within a 24-hour period". As I have only edited Ben Nevis three times today, I have not broken the rule. You will break the rule if you revert me again. I would also point out that several other editors in support of my position and none in support of yours. Viewfinder ( talk) 19:54, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month –
Ayrton Senna, current B-Class article.
![]() Ayrton Senna da Silva, (pronounced [aˈiɾtõ ˈsenɐ da ˈsiwvɐ] ; 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.

Your sandbox suggestion on the Gaza War talk page was welcome and I noticed Agada had stepped in, but now a cavalier editor has swept in to make changes right into the article instead. The war, it was all Hamas' fault. They used their huge arsenal to target civilians in towns. Israel responded in self-defence against the military targets. Sigh. The editor who did most of this has a history of declaring "Decisive Israeli Victory!" in infoboxes of I-P articles. Other, supposedly reasonable "Israeli-side" editors are standing aside and seem content to have him do their dirty work. I've already been reported to Admin for reverting the repeated tag-team blanking of the infobox's Israeli weaponry list. Etc. Anyway, so much for your sandbox.

I agree that your edits are not vandalism, and I have so notified the nominating editor. But, with all due respect, they are sloppy. Enceladus is either the size of the Netherlands, or the UK, or the North Sea, or not.

Both you and User: Mister Flash have violated WP:3RR, but instead of blocking you both, I've protected the article for now.

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.

I incorrectly thought I saw a commnent from you agreeing to the non-controversial wording I suggested here and reinforced here. Please let me know if you agree with the neutral wording. Thanks! Dreadstar ☥ 20:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Dear Sir, Please can you tell me how you can assume me of vandalising a site ‘Derry’, when all I have done is replaced a misspelt word with its proper and official wording. Like I said on the top of the very page people should remember to keep their views and beliefs to one side when editing a web site that is being viewed by the whole world. Therefore I don’t think it sends out a good image when we can't even spell the name of a major city of the UK correctly. I'm not saying that I agree with either wording, but the fact that there is such a debate about this word, then why don't we go by the official word the word that the majority of people in Northern Ireland as well as the rest of the world know it to be. I have only replaced the word 'Derry' when referring to city or country and I have not replaced this word when this word if referring to something offical, ie i understand and accept it is called derry airport, and I understand and accept it is called derry concil, likewise you Bjmuullan should understand and most certainly accept that the offical name for the city and the country is Londonderry. Unless I have written information proving that the wording 'Derry' when referring to the city and county are official is provided to me then I will be lodging a formal complaint and if necessary I will bring this case to political levels to make sure that people like yourself who want to 'bully' editors that edit misspelt wording into correct English are brought to justice. I would be more than happy to meet up with you to sort this matter out if you feel unhappy about my reason for editing. Cbowsie ( talk) 00:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Cbowsie

I agree, but Walter Wolf Racing as such only existed in 1977, when the cars were badged as Wolf. Between 1975 and 1977 they were run by Sir Frank Williams in conjunction with Walter Wolf, and they were entered by Frank Williams Racing Cars. WilliamF1two ( talk) 15:51, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

List of Formula One drivers, kept at
Featured List status after review
![]() Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. Drivers are awarded points based on their position in each race, and the driver who accumulates the most points over each calendar year is crowned that year's World Champion. As of the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there have been 820 FIA World Championship races since its first event, the 1950 British Grand Prix. Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most championships, while his 91 wins, 154 podium finishes and 68 pole positions are also records. Rubens Barrichello has entered more Grands Prix than anyone else—288 times in total—as well as having made an unsurpassed 284 race starts. The United Kingdom is the most represented nation, having produced a total of 157 different drivers. Eight nations have been represented by just one. Poland became the latest country to be represented by a driver when Robert Kubica made his Formula One debut at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix.

Grand Prix 2, current
Peer Review
Grand Prix 2, sometimes known as "GP2" and sold in the American market as Grand Prix II, is a racing simulator released by MicroProse in 1996. It was made under an official FIA license that featured the Formula One 1994 season, with all of the circuits, teams, drivers and cars. The cars were painted with liveries reflecting the races that did not allow tobacco and beer sponsors (i.e. 1994 French Grand Prix). It had 3D texture mapping and SVGA graphics, as well as an early but realistic physics engine. A large community of GP2 enthusiasts formed quickly and still exists today. Grand Prix 2 is recognized as one of the definitive racing simulations of its era.

Please don't go around removing references to British Isles with inaccurate terminology. The British Isles question has been discussed ad nauseum on various pages and there is a task force set up. Consensus is generally to leave them in and not to remove it from the various articles. If you wish to change the term, for which there is seemingly no encyclopaedic reason to change, then you will need to obtain consensus on the various talk pages. If you wish to bring up a specific example, then the appropriate forum is WP:BISLES. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 13:36, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

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 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 commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture 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.

For future reference, I shall point out that BT's area code lookup facility isn't a reliable source. Until recently, it was absolutely full of errors- see User talk:Eurosong/02x for the lowdown. For all I know, there probably still are errors.
Generally, if you want to look up a dialling code, please use Ofcom's facility. Ofcom is the authoritative source on such matters. -- Smjg ( talk) 21:59, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for stepping in on this issue. I can only apologise that your sensibility was responded to with such rudeness from Malleus Fatuorum and Nev1. Both of them are such accomplished editors, so it's a pity that they've resorted to mud-slinging of this shameful variety. I don't even know what I've done to elicit such a response!

As I have only edited Ben Nevis three times today, I have not broken the rule. You will break the rule if you revert me again.

Ayrton Senna, current B-Class article.
![]() Ayrton Senna da Silva, (pronounced [aˈiɾtõ ˈsenɐ da ˈsiwvɐ] ; 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.

Your sandbox suggestion on the Gaza War talk page was welcome and I noticed Agada had stepped in, but now a cavalier editor has swept in to make changes right into the article instead. The war, it was all Hamas' fault. They used their huge arsenal to target civilians in towns. Israel responded in self-defence against the military targets. Sigh. The editor who did most of this has a history of declaring "Decisive Israeli Victory!" in infoboxes of I-P articles. Other, supposedly reasonable "Israeli-side" editors are standing aside and seem content to have him do their dirty work. I've already been reported to Admin for reverting the repeated tag-team blanking of the infobox's Israeli weaponry list. Etc. Anyway, so much for your sandbox.

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.

I incorrectly thought I saw a commnent from you agreeing to the non-controversial wording I suggested here and reinforced here. Please let me know if you agree with the neutral wording. Thanks! Dreadstar ☥ 20:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Dear Sir, Please can you tell me how you can assume me of vandalising a site ‘Derry’, when all I have done is replaced a misspelt word with its proper and official wording. Like I said on the top of the very page people should remember to keep their views and beliefs to one side when editing a web site that is being viewed by the whole world. Therefore I don’t think it sends out a good image when we can't even spell the name of a major city of the UK correctly. I'm not saying that I agree with either wording, but the fact that there is such a debate about this word, then why don't we go by the official word the word that the majority of people in Northern Ireland as well as the rest of the world know it to be. I have only replaced the word 'Derry' when referring to city or country and I have not replaced this word when this word if referring to something offical, ie i understand and accept it is called derry airport, and I understand and accept it is called derry concil, likewise you Bjmuullan should understand and most certainly accept that the offical name for the city and the country is Londonderry. Unless I have written information proving that the wording 'Derry' when referring to the city and county are official is provided to me then I will be lodging a formal complaint and if necessary I will bring this case to political levels to make sure that people like yourself who want to 'bully' editors that edit misspelt wording into correct English are brought to justice. I would be more than happy to meet up with you to sort this matter out if you feel unhappy about my reason for editing. Cbowsie ( talk) 00:30, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Cbowsie
