Formula 1

[edit]

Hi MSF,

I noticed you made some changes to the the race write-up fr the 2010 Spanish Grand Prix. I've since reverted most of them. Not because you did anything wrong, mind you, but because there is a certain style that we write the race reports in. First of all, it is not necessary to account for every driver at all times. You included sections on Massa and Sutil on the first lap of the race when they did not really do anything. When we write race reports, we only include the major incidents; in Barcelona, they were as follows: 1) Webber and Vettel fighting for first place, 2) Hamilton and Alonso fighting for third, 3) Rosberg driving on the grass, 4) de la Rosa and Buemi touching, 5) Kubica and Kobayashi touching, 6) Bruno Senna going off and 7) Heikki Kovalainen failing to start. As you can see, there's seven items there, and that's quite a number alredy. Including the actions of every driver is just unnecessary.

Secondly, you have a tendency to overlink. You listed every driver and the team they drive for, and linked to each of those articles. If you read the sections on qualifying and practice, you'll notice that almost everyone and every team have already been mentioned. We link to a article when we mention someone for the first time, and leave it at that. It's especially jarring when you simply list them as you did (ie Ferrari's Felipe Massa, Force India's Adrian Sutil, Mercedes' Nico Rosberg, etc.). I think it's great that you want to contribute to Wikipedia, but because you get too invloved, I'd suggest going back and checking out the race reports for each race this season. You'll see that style in action. Please do not change anything about them; they already cover everything they need to. Rather I'd like you to read over them thoroughly to see how they're written, the kind of language they use and the style they're presented in, so that if you decide to keep editing race reports in the future, you'll be able to keep th style consistent.

But for now, there's two things I want you to try and remember: 1) it's not necessary to mention everyone and everything and 2) try not to overlink. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 05:30, 10 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing would be that when we talk about reasons for retirement, only the first letter is capitalised, like a sentence. Thus, "Collision damage", "Wheel rim", "Out of fuel" etc etc. Bretonbanquet (talk) 13:07, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Can you not keep reducing these reasons for retirement to a level that does not make any sense? "Wheel" is not an adequate reason for a car to retire. "Loose wheel" explains it perfectly. Given that there is no reason whatsoever why we should remove that word, it can be left in there, unless you are trying to prove a point. Bretonbanquet (talk) 17:59, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Another thing - clearly, "front wing" and "front wing mounting" are not the same thing. You are changing the reason for retirement to a falsehood. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:00, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
And a word to the wise - as per WP:STATUSQUO, when you change something and somebody reverts you back to the original version, you don't start an edit war - you discuss on the talk page. That's how it works. Bretonbanquet (talk) 18:04, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That is good advice from Bretonbanquet, you would do well to heed it. Mjroots (talk) 18:06, 16 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
