[edit] Article requests

Might want to consider giving this article a more specific name, e.g. "F1 Contract Recognition Board" or "FIA Contract Recognition Board". DH85868993 (talk) 04:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Rain in Formula One - Might include information about driving in the wet, car setup for wet conditions, differences in pit stop strategies, notorious rainy races, etc. --NaBUru38 (talk) 01:02, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Articles that need to be copyedited

[edit] Major project-wide activities to be completed

  • Add race summaries to all race report articles which don't have them (which is most races before about 2004)
  • Add qualifying results to all race report articles which don't have them (which is most races before about 2005)

[edit] Minor activities / Corrections across the project

  • In most cases, references to years should link to the relevant World Championship page rather than to the general year page. So "2005" should link to 2005 Formula One season rather than 2005. The {{F1}} template is an efficient way to achieve this.
  • Update all F1 car articles to use template:Racing car.
  • Check the race times and time/lap gaps for all the F1 race reports against the "Results Archive" section of www.formula1.com and correct as necessary.
Remaining to do: 1970-1973, 1977-1980, 1994 onwards
  • Add race report articles into the relevant "<year> in <country>" category, e.g. 2007 Australian Grand Prix is included in Category:2007 in Australia. Use a sort key of "Grand Prix", e.g. the entry in 2007 Australian Grand Prix is [[Category:2007 in Australia|Grand Prix]]. Note that you may need to create the category; if so, copy an existing "Year in" category for the same country and just change the year number as appropriate.
Done so far: 1989-1993
  • For all race report articles, add a reference to the race results at www.formula1.com to the "References" section. See 1966 Dutch Grand Prix for an example.
Done so far: 1966-1967
  • For all race report articles, add flags where they are not present, and replace the old links with the right ones (for example: replace [[Lotus Cars|Lotus]] with [[Team Lotus|Lotus]])
Done so far: 1964-1967

[edit] One-off tasks

  • Highlight (in bold) pole positions in WilliamsF1 Grand Prix results. (Highlight the race result of the driver who scored the pole, not the country code). Completed up to and including 1989

[edit] Portal Management

[edit] Did you know?

New 'Did you knows' are welcome. One 'Did you know' is swapped onto portal:Formula One every Wednesday. Feel free to add a 'Did you know', or to swap them if it has not already been done here 4u1e 14:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Selected Article

Selected Articles for the Formula One portal should be of Good Article standard or above. As there are few F1 article at this standard as yet, you can vote for an article to be subject to an improvement drive to get it up to the required standard. If this is achieved it will become the new F1 portal Selected Article. See here for how to vote. 4u1e 14:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

The current selected article is 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. The current candidate for improvement to GA standard and to be the next selected article is History of Formula One - feel free to join in. 4u1e 20:53, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
