New York City ePrix?
[edit]Formula E calls the ePrix "New York City ePrix" [1]. Should we move the article accordingly? Wild8oar (talk) 06:22, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Wild8oar: I agree. This name for the event is also used in the wider media. MWright96 (talk) 12:26, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback, @MWright96:! Since you are the main contributor, I will go ahead and move the articles.Wild8oar (talk) 13:08, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

I'll take a look at this one, will post review soon. Kosack (talk) 20:50, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]- "a two-day crowd of 20,000 people", just to clarify is this referring to the combined crowd for both days?
- "There were the ninth and tenth races of the 2016–17 Formula E season", should it be they rather than there?
- Corrected. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- Is there a link that can be added for electrical energy? Seems like a term that could need clarifying for the uninitiated.
- "until a safety car was necessitated for the Heidfeld's stricken car", needs rewording slightly I think. Either "for Heidfeld's stricken car" , "the stricken Heidfeld's car" or another alternative.
- The former has been chosen. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Mahindra were still in third place", Mahindra remained in third place perhaps?
- Reworded. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Preparations
[edit]- "a Central Park track would have required demolishing trees", can you demolish a tree?
- I've written cutting down trees instead. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
Race One
[edit]Practice and qualifying
[edit]- "The damage however was not severe enough and was repaired", enough is a bit out of place here. It can be removed or expanded on e.g. "severe enough to rule him out"
- Have expanded on the sentence. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Engel was affected a problem", should that be affected by a problem?
Race
[edit]- "hairpins where multiple cars made contact and emerged from the melee without bodywork damage", should that be but emerged...?
- "while Prost lost nine places over the same distance because of his car was damaged.", sentence needs tweaking, I'm guessing the of shouldn't be there?
- Removed. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Bird took the lead from Abt by aggressively turning to the inside of Abt at the turn five hairpin", possible repetition of Abt could replace the second use with him I think.
Race two
[edit]Practice and qualifying
[edit]- Dvual > Duval.
Race
[edit]- "After starting ninth, Di Grassi", I notice di Grassi is normally used apart from this mention which uses a capital letter in the second paragraph?
- Corrected. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
External links
[edit]- Is this race set to be repeated? Otherwise the bottom navbox seems a bit unnecessary if there is no other race before or after.
- Yes. The 2018 double header will be held on 14 and 15 July. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
An extremely detailed and well written article. Very minor points to address. On hold for now. Kosack (talk) 18:29, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Kosack: All of your quibbles have been addressed. MWright96 (talk) 20:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- No further concerns, promoting. Kosack (talk) 05:42, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
