On 23 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article McLaren MCL60, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a commentator said the McLaren MCL60 underwent "one of the most impressive in-season development steps ever seen" in Formula One? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/McLaren MCL60.

Civility warning, August 2024
[edit]
Please refrain from making abusive or otherwise inappropriate edit summaries or comments, as you did to 2024 Formula One World Championship. Your edit summary or comment may have been removed. Please communicate with civility and refrain from making personal attacks. If you have a content dispute then take it to the appropriate talk page. Do not, under any circumstances, swear at me again or I will take it to ANI. Consider this a category 4 warning but phrased softly. Pyrope 17:17, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Bit soft mate, that's not abusive. Don't think ANI would be worth your time. 5225C (talk • contributions) 02:29, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- In fact, don't come onto my talk page and misuse warning templates again, or I'll take you to ANI. How does that sound? 5225C (talk • contributions) 02:32, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- As you ask, it sounds like the comment of someone who doesn't understand how basic civility operates. Hence the warning template, applied with justification and entirely correctly. Pyrope 15:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hahaha! 5225C (talk • contributions) 02:00, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
