Hi
I noticed you undid your edit - did you manage to put it in correctly ? I take it you wanted it to say "SS Indus (1945)|"

Well, first of all, welcome to the project! One good thing about everyone doing the same kind of article is that it's easier to help the others, as the same problems generally arise. I'd still probably call it C-classed, with references being the major problem (the race is largely uncited). There's also a little jargon ("Both Heidfeld and Button later said that they suffered from tire graining during this session.") But really, there's not much to be concerned about. I'd say merge practice and qualifying, so you have the same format as this year's two FAs (Japan and Brazil). You're definitely on the right track, though. Apterygial 23:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- The article looks good - you could nominate it for a peer review to see if there are any other minor problems that need fixing, similar to the ones Apterygial has raised.--Diniz(talk) 20:56, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, and you need to add a 'Background' section. It's fairly easy, just copy the first paragraph from the equivalent section in the 2008 Japanese Grand Prix article, adapt the second, and add a little about the circumstances of the Championships heading into the race. Apterygial 10:07, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
- References are encouraged to be from 'reliable sources' at any stage of creation, although at stubs, start-class, c-class you'd probably be right in saying anything is better than nothing. For Good Articles or Featured Articles however the criteria states that references must be present and must be from reliable sources. As you say, taking them out wouldn't be any good. Are you putting "2008 German Grand Prix" into Google with quotes? If so, that could be limiting your results as rarely does that exact phrase appear in an article. My tip would be to manually search some of the reliable sources. This can be achieved in Google by searching for

- 2008 German Grand Prix site:bbc.co.uk
- Notice no quotes are used. You can replace site:bbc.co.uk with any reliable source, e.g. autosport.com grandprix.com etc. (see the current GA/FA to get an idea of what the reliable sources are considered to be). Alternatively go into the F1 news section of Autosport.com and browse manually back through the news archive to the time this Grand Prix was held. There are a couple of things that are easily sourced from the Autocourse book (official race name, championship standings tables). Assuming you don't have a copy, you can try asking D.M.N. or Diniz nicely if they'd be willing to source that stuff for you. AlexJ (talk) 12:39, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
If I was doing this article, these sources I would regard as invaluable: [1], [2], [3], [4] (which I'm aware will rot), [5] and [6]. Use them and you can't go wrong. Apterygial 23:03, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Re:2008 German Grand Prix Autosport book refs
I think you mean Autocourse, not Autosport? Anyway, I must apologise as I am at university at the moment and don't have access to it. I shall be back by the end of March, although I believe D.M.N. has it as well.--Diniz(talk) 17:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
- By the way, when you've finished responding to Apterygial and AlexJ's peer review comments, let me know and I'll be happy to give my opinion of the article as well.--Diniz(talk) 00:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Chinese Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Chinese Grand Prix (formally the V Sinopec Chinese Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on October 19, 2008 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai, China. It was the 17th and penultimate race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 56 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Ferrari driver Felipe Massa finished second, and Kimi Räikkönen was third in the other Ferrari. Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, led the Championship going into the race, and started from pole position alongside Räikkönen. Second in the Drivers' Championship, Massa began from third, next to Fernando Alonso of Renault. The first three drivers retained their positions into the first corner, but Alonso was passed by Hamilton's McLaren teammate Heikki Kovalainen. However, Alonso was able to regain the place midway through the first lap. Over the course of the race, Hamilton extended a considerable lead over the two Ferraris. Massa passed Räikkönen with seven laps remaining, to improve his chances of surpassing Hamilton's points tally at the final race in Brazil. The result extended Ferrari's lead over McLaren in the Constructors' Championship from seven to 11 points. Third-placed in the Drivers' Championship, Robert Kubica's sixth place at the Grand Prix eliminated his hopes of winning the Championship, and reduced his lead over fourth-placed Räikkönen to six points.

Re:2008 German Grand Prix
I've taken a look at the article and left some comments on the peer review page.--Diniz(talk) 22:33, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
- There are quite a few quotations from McLaren people in the AUTOCOURSE and Autosport sources; I'll post them soon so you can choose which one(s) would be suitable for the article. I'll copyedit the article soon as well; unfortunately I'm out this evening so you will have to wait until tomorrow at least. Now that I'm back home and have read the sources, there are also some small details I can add when doing so.--Diniz(talk) 19:35, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
There's nothing major that needs doing to the article, but a copyedit is required. I'd make it easier for Diniz by making sure the simple WP:MoS problems are under control: driver names and linkages (there's still some points where the drivers' full names are given in subsequent mentions), and just make sure all refs follow some form of punctuation (not including dashes). I'd probably just expand the last paragraph in the "Race" section so it covers every driver, so everyone you introduce throughout the article gets their whole story. After that, Diniz can give you the green light to take it to GAN. Good work, and good luck! Apterygial 23:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations! Apterygial 13:55, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Categories
Hate to break this to you, but I think you need to file the articles more directly in the categories, under "Grand Prix". So 2009 Spanish Grand Prix would go into the category as [[Category:2009 in Spain|Grand Prix]]. Apterygial 09:09, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
- Just "Grand Prix". The reasoning for the this is that anyone looking at a category already knows that it's set in 2009, and that it is in Spain (par example), so the title of the GP is not necessary. Football topics should be under F, alcohol should be under A and the Grand Prix should be under G, even the European Grand Prix, which is really just another Spanish Grand Prix, but by a different name. It might as well be called the Iberian Grand Prix! Apterygial 23:47, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 German Grand Prix, current Good Article Candidate.
 The 2008 German Grand Prix (formally the LXVIII Großer Preis Santander von Deutschland) was a Formula One motor race held on July 20, 2008 at the Hockenheimring, Hockenheim, Germany. It was the 10th race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 67 laps, was won by Lewis Hamilton for the McLaren team after starting from pole position. Nelson Piquet, Jr. finished second in a Renault car, with Felipe Massa third in a Ferrari. Hamilton maintained his startline advantage and led until he made his first pit stop on lap 18. As other cars made their pit stops, Hamilton regained the lead on lap 22. On lap 36 Timo Glock crashed, and the race was neutralized by the deployment of the safety car. Hamilton, on a two-stop strategy, did not stop to get more fuel during this period, while all the cars around him did. Thus when he did eventually stop on lap 50, he rejoined the race in fifth. In the closing stages of the race, Hamilton overtook first his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, then Massa, and finally Piquet, to take the lead again on lap 60, which he maintained to win the race. The victory was Hamilton's second consecutive win, having won the preceding British Grand Prix at Silverstone. The win put him ahead of his two main rivals in the Drivers' Championship, Kimi Räikkönen (who finished sixth) and Massa of Ferrari, who were on equal points with him before the race. After the race he was four points ahead of Räikkönen, and seven ahead of Massa. In the Constructors' Championship, McLaren drew closer to the two teams ahead of them, BMW Sauber and Ferrari. Ferrari still led by 15 points from McLaren, and 12 from BMW, whose drivers – Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica – finished fourth and seventh respectively.

Re:2008 Turkish Grand Prix ref
Well, the question is whether you need it. If you can write the entire article in its absence (and you can) you can remove it as a source. It was probably hooked up to a ref at some point, but your re-writing broke that. Apterygial 23:46, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Bahrain Grand Prix (formally the V Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on April 6, 2008 at the Bahrain International Circuit, in Sakhir, Bahrain. It was the third race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 57 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team. Kimi Räikkönen was second in the other Ferrari, and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica was third. The race began with Kubica in pole position alongside Massa; Lewis Hamilton, the eventual Drivers' Champion, started from third, alongside Räikkönen. Kubica was passed by Massa into the first corner, and then by Räikkönen on the third lap. The Ferraris dominated at the front of the race, leading to their one-two finish. Hamilton had a slow start after almost stalling on the grid, and dropped back to ninth. The McLaren driver ran into the back of Fernando Alonso's Renault a lap later, breaking off the McLaren's front wing and dropping Hamilton to the back of the field. Kubica's strong finish promoted BMW Sauber to the lead in the Constructors' Championship, after BMW driver Nick Heidfeld finished fourth. Ferrari and McLaren trailed, one and two points behind, respectively. Räikkönen took the lead in the Drivers' Championship, with 19 points, three points ahead of Heidfeld and five ahead of Hamilton, Kubica and Kovalainen, with 15 races remaining in the season.

- This should be quick and easy. Points noticed so far: the lead goes into too much detail of the race and could be cut back, while other details, such as the collapse of Super Aguri, should be in there. The images are not from the race. Take a look on Flickr to see if there are any action shots available. SilkTork *YES! 18:44, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, the first question you have to ask is: "what is qualifying for?" If the answer is "to see who can do the fastest single lap" then you have a problem. If the answer is "to determine grid positions", then the problem is reduced. If you favour the latter approach (as I do) then the line in the article Hamilton qualified third is wrong. I toyed around with how to explain this more in a coherent manner, and ended up fiddling with the paragraph itself, the results of which (sans references) are shown below (needs a little bulking out with why certain drivers were quicker than others, though).
Apterygial's quali paragraph
|
|---|
|
Räikkönen clinched pole position, taking Ferrari's 200th pole, with a time of 1:16.449. He was joined on the front row of the grid by team-mate Massa. Alonso qualified third after Hamilton's penalty moved the quicker McLaren driver to 13th; Toyota's Jarno Trulli qualified fourth. Kovalainen would have started from fifth, but was given a five-place grid penalty for blocking Webber during qualifying and would start from 10th on the grid. Kubica, Webber, David Coulthard, Timo Glock and Piquet rounded off the top ten. Heidfeld qualified 11th, with Vettel ahead of Hamilton in 12th, and Bourdais behind in 14th. Rosberg was next quickest, but after his penalty demoted him to the back of the grid his team-mate Kazuki Nakajima took his place. The final four places went to the Honda and Force India teams, with Button qualifying ahead of Barrichello, Fisichella and Sutil. Barrichello, however, was given a penalty for changing his gearbox, meaning that he started 20th on the grid, one place behind Rosberg. |
Do with this what you would. I won't be able to give a detailed review of the article for a little while as I'm quite busy at the moment off-wiki, but I'll get there when I can. Apterygial 10:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Turkish Grand Prix, new Good Article
 The 2008 Turkish Grand Prix (formally the IV Petrol Ofisi Turkish Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on May 11, 2008 at the Istanbul Racing Circuit, Istanbul, Turkey. It was the fifth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 58 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from pole position. Lewis Hamilton finished second in a McLaren, with Kimi Räikkönen third in the second Ferrari. Massa claimed pole, with teammate Räikkönen fourth, the two Ferrari cars sandwiching the McLarens of Heikki Kovalainen and Hamilton. At the first corner Räikkönen clipped Kovalainen's rear tyre and gave him a puncture. The safety car was deployed on the first lap, after a collision, but only remained out for one lap. During the course of the race, Hamilton, intending to make one more pit stop than both Ferrari drivers, was faster than Massa due to carrying a lighter fuel load and overtook him on lap 24. After Hamilton had made his third pit stop, he rejoined in second behind Massa but in front of the Championship leader, Räikkönen. Massa won the race, with Hamilton 3.779 seconds behind, and Räikkönen a further half-second behind. The two BMW Sauber cars of Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld took fourth and fifth. In the week running up to the grand prix, the Super Aguri team had withdrawn from Formula One, due to financial problems, leaving the sport with only ten teams. Massa's victory was his third consecutive pole position and victory in Turkey, having also won the race from pole in 2006 and 2007. This was also Rubens Barrichello's 257th Grand Prix start, breaking Riccardo Patrese's previous record of 256. Due to the race result, Räikkönen's lead in the Drivers' Championship was lowered to seven points. Massa rose to second from fourth, whilst Hamilton dropped to third, both drivers tying on 28 points but separated by Massa's two wins thus far to Hamilton's one. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 22 points ahead of BMW Sauber, with McLaren a further two points behind in third.

Article of the month - 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new Featured Article
 The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

F1 2010 (video game)
Just wondering if you can do me a favor on the F1 2010 (video game) vandalism issue. Still not eligible for semi-protection because of the autoconfirmed vandalism, but if you could throw a warning template on the vandals' talk page when you revert I can block the vandals after a few warnings. The {{uw-unsourced}} series and {{uw-error}} series are good for this. I'd suggest starting with a level 2 warning on these, as I'm sure these edits are not accidental.
I'll go back and warn the people for the last day or so, but if you could warn on your reverts going forward it would be a huge help. Thanks!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Insane Idea
Well, if you are still eager to do 2008 articles, you can do 2008 European Grand Prix, as I won't have time to do much for a bit and I still have to do the re-write of 2008 Belgian Grand Prix and take it to FAC. By the way, you have helped (I can't seriously believe we are this far along!) Apterygial 08:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 French Grand Prix, current Good Article nominee.
 The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

F1 2010: Features
The F1 2010 game is in fact based on the 2010 season. See [15] Also , this contradicts the earlier sentence in the article: F1 2010 is an upcoming video game based on the motor racing series with the same name and the 2010 Formula One season. Thank You, Chieframhorn (talk) 21:19, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
PS: are you a F1 fan?
Hello.
This is a dilemma... I think deleting he features section is the wrong thing to do, as it is a nice section in the article. i suggest deleting the line which says it is based on 2009 for the time being. At first, i thought that, as it is F1 2010, it will be based on the 2010 season, but thinking about how rushed F1 2009 is, it may just be the same game on different platforms
You make the decision, as you are more experienced at wikipedia etc. Thanks, Chieframhorn (talk) 16:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment.
 The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

Article of the month - 1995 British Grand Prix, currently listed for a Peer Review.
 The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on July 16, 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 61 laps, was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after starting from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season. The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Article of the month - DAMS GD-01, current Peer Review nominee
The DAMS GD-01 was an unraced Formula One car used by the French motorsport team, Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport (DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS and Reynard engineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.

Article of the month - Fittipaldi Automotive, current Good Article Review
 Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative Copersucar. In 1976 Emerson surprised the motor racing world by leaving the title-winning McLaren team to drive for the unsuccessful family outfit. Future world champion Keke Rosberg took his first podium finish in Formula One with the team. The team was based in São Paulo, almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) away from the centre of the world motor racing industry in the UK, before moving to Reading, UK during 1974. It participated in 119 grands prix between 1975 and 1982, entering a total of 156 cars. It achieved 3 podiums and scored 44 championship points.

Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Peer Review candidate.
 The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008 at the Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary. It was the eleventh race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team after starting from second position. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was also Glock's first podium finish. Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten into the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.
