This list is about the 55 winners of the 67 editions of the Macau Grand Prix, an annual motor race held in the streets of Macau in the month of November. Many famous names in motor racing like Michael Schumacher, Ralf Schumacher, David Coulthard and Ayrton Senna have won this prestigious race. Should the list pass, it will be the first featured list related to junior-level motorsports on Wikipedia. I look forward to all comments. MWright96 (talk) 12:32, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "a eight-lap qualifying race" => "an eight-lap qualifying race"
  • "A total of eight drivers Jan Bussell...." - think there should be a colon or a comma or something in there
  • "MacDonald holds the records for the longest period of time between race wins along with his maiden victory and last–seven years between the 1965 race and the 1972 edition" - apologies, but I can't follow this bit at all
  • Moreno photo caption needs a full stop
  • Same with Senna photo
  • Think that's it from me - great work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 18:58, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Lead has duplicate links, e.g. Arsenio Laurel and 2020 Macau Grand Prix.
  • ""the 1962 race and the 1963 edition" I would conflate, to "the 1962 and 1963 editions" (or races).
  • Similar for "the 1965 race and the 1972 event."
  • Is "most wins for a team" relevant given that so many different regulations have been followed throughout the lifetime of the event?
  • ""of the 67 editions of the event, there have been 55 race winners" to prevent quick repeat of "of" go for " there have been 55 race winners in the 67 editions of the event,"
  • "was local driver Eduardo de Carvalho at the 1954 event," which rules?
  • "first win in the 2020 race." rules?
  • "and the motorcycling event" what's that? first I've seen of it in this article.
  • Sortable table means link all linked articles every time.
  • "Chassis – Engine" is header but then all entries are separated by an unspaced hyphen, not a spaced en-dash.
  • MOS:FLAG non-compliance with those unexplained flags in the "Entrant" column.
  • Does "entrant" mean team?
  • Bowman Racing is piped to different articles (although one is a redirect, but better to fix them for consistency).
  • "Speedsport Magazine" if it's a magazine, should be in italics.
    • It's a motorsport statistics and results database with "magazine" in its name MWright96 (talk) 13:52, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have on a quick pass. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 11:13, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – Pass edit

Doing now. Aza24 (talk) 02:00, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Version reviewed: [2]
Formatting
  • Notes section is always before the bibliography. Generally the bibliography is after references, but that isn't so pertinent (I've seen it both ways)
  • "Santos" seems to be missing from the author's name in ref 3
  • I suggest a translated title for ref 3, like they one in ref 14
  • Surely CNN should the |work= so its italicized in ref 7?
  • motor.es seems like the actual work name, should probably be under |work= as well
  • I assume Speedsport Magazine should be italicized as well—Auto Bild, another newspaper, already is
    • Speedsport Magazine is a motorsport database not an actual printed publication or news site MWright96 (talk) 05:10, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do wonder if VW Press UK should be spelled out, but it seems fine.
Reliability
  • Honestly, Crash (and Crash Media Group) don't seem to have much of a reputation—they don't even have a Wikipedia page. The fact that the article itself says "Anonymous (not verified)" is a bit worrying—I would recommend switching it out with an alternative source
    • Crash Media Group formally were the publishers of the Autocourse Annuals in the mid- to late-2000s. Nevertheless, have removed MWright96 (talk) 05:10, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Verifiability
  • Good from what I can tell. Aza24 (talk) 02:14, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Aza24: Have made changes where applicable and have replied to all the above queries MWright96 (talk) 05:10, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks for you're thoroughness and quick responses. Pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 05:13, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

  • Minor point, but the bit in the caption about Michael Schumacher being a seven-time Formula One champion could probably use a cite since that isn't verified elsewhere in the article.
  • Ref 1 needs the plural pp. instead of p. for the page cite; changing the page= parameter to pages= will fix this for you. Giants2008 (Talk) 22:17, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
