[edit] Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello Lec CRP1, welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips:

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, Alf 11:03, 30 August 2005 (UTC).

[edit] 2005 USA-Race

DNS stands for when a car does not take a a race start. Makes sense. By having Ret listed that mean the driver has actually started in that race and will count a race starts towards the driver race start tally.. The formation lap does not count as a lap at all as it is not added towards the race classification. For when does a driver 'start' a Grand Prix? To my mind he does so only if he is on the grid when the flag drops or light goes green at the final start. Should a driver have failed to compete the formation lap, for instance (as was the case with Prost at Imola in 1991), he cannot truly be said to have started the race. In the case of restarted events such as the British GP in 1986, poor Jacques Laffite certainly did start the race, but this was declared null and void and he was not presented to take the restart, which is the only one that counts. For true official race results is best to get them off www.forix.com as they receive their race results from the officials. Yes I know formula1.com is official but not 100% official in statistics. If you decide to leave it as Ret then you must give all the drivers a race start count!

I have spend hours in researching and asking many F1 statistician who are famous and know more on Grand Prix. All the statisian I have contacted and got back told me it is actually DNS not Ret, they also have mention the formula1.com is not very accurate with their race results. The formula1.com is incorrect as listing as ret instead of DNS for 2005-USA. This were the responses from the following people. Renowned F1 statistians, like David Hayhoe or Autosport's Peter Higham agree that all Michelin drivers were DNS in 2005-USA, but consider a RET if a driver didn't made a re-start, for example. That was the common view in the past - no contemporary source listed Lauda as a DNS in 1976-Germany - and they simply ignore the current "null and void" FIA rule. I totally agree to change it as DNS not Ret as they didn't take part on the first lap.

Here is a intersting fact. Button will start his 100th race start in the 2005-China race. But according to wikipedia when doing the math by adding all Button race starts it would be his 101st race start in China as Button has been listed as Ret instead of DNS for this year 2005-USA race. Does this make sense to you. That means wikipedia will have an extra race start for all the drivers who have no started in the 2005 USA race have an extra race start which wouldn't be official to the drivers stats.

I am trying to help you all to have accurate data on Formula 1 on wikipedia. I DO beleive the formula1.com site doesn't not give out accurate race classifications. As I have been involved with FORIX and autosport.com for many years as my job is to look for incorrect data on their server. Andreas 04 October 09:36

[edit] No license.

Aloha! Whilst editing, I came across an article using Image:Martiniextradry.JPG, which you uploaded. You've stated that you created the image, but haven't specified a license. Unfortunately, Wikipedia requires that all images used in articles be either released under a free license or contain a fair-use rationale. If you're still around, could you edit the image to include a copyright tag usable in Wikipedia ({{GDFL}} etc). See WP:ICT for the full selection.

[edit] F1 portal featured article

The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'. I've swapped a few in and out over the last couple of months, but I think it would be better if there were more of a community attempt at deciding this, proposals, votes, that kind of thing. So - why not pop over to Portal_talk:Formula_One#Suggestions_for_Featured_Article: and make a suggestion. Ta. 4u1e 00:29, 26 May 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Selected articles on Portal:F1

Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 4u1e 16:58, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Schlesser mg.jpg

[edit] Ahnentafels

There's a slightly prettier template already for showing ancestry, take a look at George II of Great Britain to see if you like it. It's {{Ahnentafel4}}. - Nunh-huh 02:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Lec CRP, I work on succession boxes on Wikipedia (the boxes at the bottom of all monarch pages are based off of a template I created) and have been wanting to implement a genealogical Ahnentafel report for quite a while. I saw the one you have been placing up on the Spanish royals page and I find things I like and dislike about it. The number one thing I like is that it is very simple and compact. It is not as rough as the one above and it is all in one big infobox. That being said, I think three generations is too much. I have created an infobox using your template and mixed it with the succession box format. You can view it at the bottom of Alfonso XIII of Spain. The only reason I am using that page is because it is where I first encountered your template.
The other problem is that it only tells half the story. I am trying to implement a feature in the infobox that allows a user to name the royal dynasties that contributed to the individual. For Alfonso XIII I have two Borbons and two Habsburg-Lorraines. However, if I have four columns, I can't bridge it to the succession box above it. That is something I am actively trying to fix, but it is not working well.
Finally, I think that placing the ancestry in the middle of the page may not be the best technique. Those infoboxes you are making are big and detailed and I think they take up too much space. I removed the headers for my template (Father, Mother, Great Grandmother, etc.) because I don't find them necessary, but once more, three generations I think takes too much space. If you know infobox format (which it seems you do), I would much like to work on something that could be anchored to the bottom of succession boxes, or freeformed when there is no succession box (for non-title holding royals). I am also working on a way to source all of these (succession boxes, infoboxes, etc.). Hopefully it will all work out in the end.

I forgot to add that the template I am working on is Template:s-fam and as of now it is an independent template (does not need s-start or end).
