consider blocking the whole subnet rather than an IP that may change within a minute.It is not an edit war. User Hazim Fikri A. kept insisting on removing information I restored multiple times. I explained it into his talk page, but he continued. Island92 ( talk) 11:26, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
The history page says differently. Firstly, the current image was first added by user Apeiro94. This current image is better than the old ones, which featured more useful information of the track. User Apeiro94 summarizen it in his edit at the time he added it. The current image does not have any deletion nomination. User Hazim Fikri A. kept insisting on (prefering maybe?) the old ones. Secondy he kept insisting on removing the wikilink of the track in the box. I wondered why these two edits were made repedeately. Preferences? Maybe. I restored the current image and the wikilink multiple times. Then I explained it into his talk page. Island92 ( talk) 11:56, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
I reverted and explained. What can I do if he keeps insisting for days? It is an his preference, ok, but far from what I see. That image is much better and the wikilink is present in each Formula One circuit article on the encyclopedia. Does he know it? Island92 ( talk) 12:42, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

I mentioned you by accident (forgot that it was YttriumShrew that had the one claimed yet to write), but thanks for completing the table. Now it's only RRR left before I can stop calling it a draft (even if there's a chance a new topic can emerge if someday the tool finally gives the annual list ). igordebraga ≠ 15:01, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.

Hi! Has there ever been a discussion on how to present the sprint race results in F1 season articles (i.e. if additional column or just use superscripts)? If so, can you link it? MotoGP has now their own sprint format and I kinda adapted the format you use in F1 season articles because MotoGP's sprint concept is the same as F1's, but some editors have raised the issue of adding an additional column. I just wanna know how the format you're using now in F1 articles came to be. Thanks! Engr. Smitty Werben 14:03, 26 March 2023 (UTC)

Is it possible
this was related to a transclusion limit problem? A comment in the code says "Please do not update this template to use {{F1R2023}} - doing so breaks the [[2023 Formula One World Championship]] article due the template transclusion limit being exceeded"
so it might at least be a good faith edit. --

Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's currently at MFD, and a large cleanup project is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [ talk · contribs] 05:08, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, I came across Helmut Marko's biography( here), and in it, as no one has edited it yet, is written that 'he has also advised the Scuderia Toro Rosso, now Scuderia AlphaTauri Formula One team' so in this, I'm confused if I should
Either replace Alphatauri directly with VCARB, Or include Alphatauri as well(but I'm not able to frame the right sentence).
Can you please help me in deciding which is the right way, and how it should be written if it's the second choice?
