Since you've now got it, please could you add this year's number one driver to the list in the Autocourse article? Thanks,-- Diniz (talk) 15:34, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer. If you'd be willing to reference things like the official name etc. in the infobox to Autocourse when you get a chance, that'd be great (as has been done with Brazil). Long way to go yet, but hopefully should get some time over the next few days to work on the article. I've got the issue of F1 Racing that followed the race so I'll probably be using that with some of the sourcing. I'll let you know if I'm needing anything else.

I can understand where Ling.Nut is coming from. The question here is not placing the article in context, but placing the elements in context within the article itself. For example, I say Fisichella retired, but no further explanation is given, either there or in Post-race, about why that was worth mentioning. Obviously, an F1 nut like you or I would say that the fact it happened on track and to some extent decided the standings after the race is justification in itself, but that might not be enough. Your reference to 1b is somewhat undermined by the language of the criterion itself: "it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context." So the questions we have to answer here are 1. whether the Fisichella fact (for example) is a "major fact" and 2. whether the incident was placed in context in the article. So at this stage, as I said on the FAC page, I'll wait for Ling.Nut to provide an expansion to their comments. I'm also going to put my other projects on hold, as I think this FAC could be a watershed with regards to how we, and WP:F1 as a whole, approach the writing of race reports and race incidents. My intention on this article is to improve it and make it the best it can be, not simply tailor it to pass FAC. Cheers, Aptery gial 11:59, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
Seeing that you are semi-retired I'm hoping you'll get this message. I was looking at SummerSlam (1995) and noticed it seemed to be finished and possibly passable at GAN. You are the one who expanded it. Why did you quit working on it in August?-- Will C 10:53, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! A GAN would have to wait until mid-to-late March though, as I'm back at uni again and don't have access to the books that I referenced the article with. Similarly, I'm afraid I won't have access to the 1995 Autocourse until then. I also returned to uni last weekend without that week's Autosport, so I can't remember the list, except for the fact that the Honda RA107 was ranked at number one.-- Diniz (talk) 14:23, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

You'll probably know this already, but if you want to develop an article without worrying about other users making edits then editing in userspace is usually a good idea. That's what I usually do - in fact right now I'm working on an article for the 1964 French Grand Prix in userspace so that I can copy the article into mainspace when I am done.

Woddup. I'm currently setting up the portal with randomised selected race reports, but four of them (which I think you had something to do with) have leads which are too short. If you have a mo, could you expand the leads of 2007 Australian Grand Prix, 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, 2007 French Grand Prix and 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix, and update their entries here? By the way, Malaysia is going to be the selected article for February, so woo there! Cheers, Aptery gial 05:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey there! I'm making a centralised "library" if you will of books that Wikipedians own; the idea is to give a single place of reference where users can go to find other users who might have texts on a subject they are writing about, rather than what we have at the moment (various users having indexesbooks they own scattered around in places). Would you have any problem with me including your texts given here in the library? Ironholds ( talk) 23:12, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I am writing up the 2008 German Grand Prix, as part of the MII project. I am told you own the Autocourse book, so I wondered whether you'd kindly source the " Standings after the race" section on it. Thank you very much,

I've started editing the article in my sandbox. What do you think of my alteration to the qualifying table? As there were two sessions back in those days, and I have access to the times from both, it seems like a sensible thing to do.-- Diniz (talk) 17:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately there isn't a single page, but everything (except some of the test drivers) is covered in the team-by-team review: Benetton pp. 42-45, Tyrrell pp. 46-47, Williams pp. 48-51, McLaren pp. 54-57, Footwork pp. 60-61, Simtek p. 62, Jordan pp. 67-69, Pacific p. 70, Forti p. 71, Minardi pp. 72-73, Ligier pp. 74-75, Ferrari pp. 76-79 and Sauber pp. 80-81. Some of the test drivers are mentioned in the "runners and riders" section of the Brazilian race report, which covers pp. 86-87: Emmanuel Collard, Jean-Christophe Boullion (Williams), Mark Blundell (who should be included as one of McLaren's test drivers for consistency with other cases such as Tarquini at Tyrrell), Hideki Noda, Giancarlo Fisichella, Nicola Larini and Norberto Fontana. As a test driver, Jan Magnussen is included in the McLaren team review, and Gabriele Tarquini's usual status as test driver is included in the European race report on p. 204. I can't find any reference to Oliver Gavin or Franck Lagorce, but I imagine a quick search of the grandprix.com news archive should turn up something! ;) -- Diniz (talk) 15:57, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I think I might as well give you the details of the entire book, for future reference, all using the exact words. ;)

I've expanded the draft European GP article as far as I can. All that is missing is a citation for the precise delay of the start time, and the more specific Autocourse references. Unfortunately, the annual didn't have any quotations from Schumacher or Alesi, so I was forced to use Forix instead. The finished version is still in my sandbox, if you would care to take a look before I edit the main article.-- Diniz (talk) 02:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for updating those Jordan car infoboxes to use the "Infobox racing car" template and for adding the WP:F1 template to all the "F1 cars" templates. That latter task has been on my "to do" list for ages, but I never seemed to get around to it. Keep up the good work! DH85868993 ( talk) 13:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC) |
It does give the weather conditions, but unfortunately not the timings for the practice and qualifying sessions. The weather conditions were as follows: Friday FP: "Dry, hot"; Friday Q: "Dry, hot"; Saturday FP: "Wet at first, then dry"; Saturday Q: "Overcast, dry"; Warm-up: "Dry, hot" (for the record, the race was "warm and overcast"). Not as good as the current annual, which has track and air temperatures! I'll take a look at the background section in more detail later on.-- Diniz (talk) 17:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
I've been thinking about the chronology of the article (and watching my downloaded BBC race coverage ;) ), and I think, due to the "narrative arc" of Schumacher and Benetton's problems during practice, it might be better to have a Friday practice-Friday qualifying-Saturday practice-Saturday qualifying layout, rather than the current all practice-all qualifying model. Of course, this is different from the other 1995 GP articles that you've already worked on, but I think the relevant sessions for those events were more straightforward. Perhaps the introductory sentences in the section could be changed to something along the lines of "Two practice and qualifying sessions were held over the two days prior to the race. On Friday, an X-long practice session was held in Y weather conditions during the morning, starting at Z hours. In the afternoon, the first W-long qualifying session was held...[same details, followed by all Friday information, then new paragraph followed by a similar sentence to introduce the Saturady information]."-- Diniz (talk) 21:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Are you ready for me to start on the race section, or do you want to do some more work on it first?-- Diniz (talk) 11:30, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

You deleted the information from both the anon. user and me about F1 2010, the sequel. Surely, surely, somewhere on the article it should be mentioned that a sequel is being made???

This looks like it's going to be a fairly easy ride. The lead could be expanded a bit to give more attention to both the drivers and constructors championship positions pre and post the race. And that single sentence opener of the first sentence could be fleshed out with a little bit of background info on why Nürburgring had been left out of F1, and why it had been taken back in.

Ha! I'm not going to that hellhole again for a little while, China's going to GAN. Anyway, it wasn't a particularly interesting race. It'll probably be at PR in a couple of days, I'll put out a message at WT:MII. 1995 was a little before my time, despite the fact that I grew up in an F1 town (we will never forgive Melbourne for taking the GP). If you need a hand there give me a shout. Aptery gial 10:45, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey there! I'm making a centralised "library" if you will of books that Wikipedians own; the idea is to give a single place of reference where users can go to find other users who might have texts on a subject they are writing about, rather than what we have at the moment (various users having indexesbooks they own scattered around in places). Would you have any problem with me including your texts given here in the library? Ironholds ( talk) 23:12, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
For every category you create, you should specify parent categories to which it belongs. In the case of a category like this one, parent categories are provided automatically when you include a {{ sockpuppet category}} template.

Hi, I am writing up the 2008 German Grand Prix, as part of the MII project. I am told you own the Autocourse book, so I wondered whether you'd kindly source the " Standings after the race" section on it. Thank you very much,

Have you got this week's Autosport? There's a good interview with Jean Alesi about the 1995 Japanese Grand Prix.-- Diniz (talk) 17:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I would prefer not to, if that's OK, because I can't guarantee that I'll still have the magazines I have now in the future. Usually they all get cleared out and thrown away every year or so.-- Diniz (talk) 21:12, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Just to say that my idea of the colours is just an idea to try to improve the page.

I've started editing the article in my sandbox. What do you think of my alteration to the qualifying table? As there were two sessions back in those days, and I have access to the times from both, it seems like a sensible thing to do.-- Diniz (talk) 17:16, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Unfortunately there isn't a single page, but everything (except some of the test drivers) is covered in the team-by-team review: Benetton pp. 42-45, Tyrrell pp. 46-47, Williams pp. 48-51, McLaren pp. 54-57, Footwork pp. 60-61, Simtek p. 62, Jordan pp. 67-69, Pacific p. 70, Forti p. 71, Minardi pp. 72-73, Ligier pp. 74-75, Ferrari pp. 76-79 and Sauber pp. 80-81. Some of the test drivers are mentioned in the "runners and riders" section of the Brazilian race report, which covers pp. 86-87: Emmanuel Collard, Jean-Christophe Boullion (Williams), Mark Blundell (who should be included as one of McLaren's test drivers for consistency with other cases such as Tarquini at Tyrrell), Hideki Noda, Giancarlo Fisichella, Nicola Larini and Norberto Fontana. As a test driver, Jan Magnussen is included in the McLaren team review, and Gabriele Tarquini's usual status as test driver is included in the European race report on p. 204. I can't find any reference to Oliver Gavin or Franck Lagorce, but I imagine a quick search of the grandprix.com news archive should turn up something! ;) -- Diniz (talk) 15:57, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I think I might as well give you the details of the entire book, for future reference, all using the exact words. ;)
(The last two pages of each race report are always the results pages.)

You might want to fix the infobox in this article - I would but I know nothing about horse racing. :) Queenie 15:41, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
I've expanded the draft European GP article as far as I can. All that is missing is a citation for the precise delay of the start time, and the more specific Autocourse references. Unfortunately, the annual didn't have any quotations from Schumacher or Alesi, so I was forced to use Forix instead. The finished version is still in my sandbox, if you would care to take a look before I edit the main article.-- Diniz (talk) 02:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey, I'm sorry I butted in on the conversation. I don't really know why I did. Sorry again.-- Will C 07:55, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for updating those Jordan car infoboxes to use the "Infobox racing car" template and for adding the WP:F1 template to all the "F1 cars" templates. That latter task has been on my "to do" list for ages, but I never seemed to get around to it. Keep up the good work! DH85868993 ( talk) 13:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC) |
It does give the weather conditions, but unfortunately not the timings for the practice and qualifying sessions. The weather conditions were as follows: Friday FP: "Dry, hot"; Friday Q: "Dry, hot"; Saturday FP: "Wet at first, then dry"; Saturday Q: "Overcast, dry"; Warm-up: "Dry, hot" (for the record, the race was "warm and overcast"). Not as good as the current annual, which has track and air temperatures! I'll take a look at the background section in more detail later on.-- Diniz (talk) 17:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
I've been thinking about the chronology of the article (and watching my downloaded BBC race coverage ;) ), and I think, due to the "narrative arc" of Schumacher and Benetton's problems during practice, it might be better to have a Friday practice-Friday qualifying-Saturday practice-Saturday qualifying layout, rather than the current all practice-all qualifying model. Of course, this is different from the other 1995 GP articles that you've already worked on, but I think the relevant sessions for those events were more straightforward. Perhaps the introductory sentences in the section could be changed to something along the lines of "Two practice and qualifying sessions were held over the two days prior to the race. On Friday, an X-long practice session was held in Y weather conditions during the morning, starting at Z hours. In the afternoon, the first W-long qualifying session was held...[same details, followed by all Friday information, then new paragraph followed by a similar sentence to introduce the Saturady information]."-- Diniz (talk) 21:40, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
Are you ready for me to start on the race section, or do you want to do some more work on it first?-- Diniz (talk) 11:30, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
I've finished work on the article now - all it needs is the air temperatures.-- Diniz (talk) 21:44, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks D.M.N., I probably agree with you, but however this does not change the fact that Chubb's facts were wrong and he should have though about that before he did that edit. WilliamF1two ( talk) 19:58, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

You deleted the information from both the anon. user and me about F1 2010, the sequel. Surely, surely, somewhere on the article it should be mentioned that a sequel is being made??? Word it your own way if you want; but I think it is a vital piece of information for the article. Darth Newdar (talk) 17:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
Hey, if I'm on after May 8, I'll take the duty of handling any problems in the article you have on GAN. That is if you want me too? I have three on GAN at the moment, so I'll be watching to see what is reviewed, and what is not. I plan to return full time next week.-- Will C 04:07, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
This looks like it's going to be a fairly easy ride. The lead could be expanded a bit to give more attention to both the drivers and constructors championship positions pre and post the race. And that single sentence opener of the first sentence could be fleshed out with a little bit of background info on why Nürburgring had been left out of F1, and why it had been taken back in.
