Before posting a message here please consider if this is the correct venue. If you wish to discuss me (SSSB), my edits (read the second paragragh if you have an issue with an edit request I implemented) or you wish to bring my attention to a certain matter, this is the correct venue (there are other cases where this is the correct venue).

However, this is not the correct venue to make edit requests. These requests should be made on the talk page of the page which you would like to be edited, if you request an edit on a page in which I have an interest it will appear on my watchlist, I will see it. If you have a problem with an edit request I implemented, please consider if it might not be better to respond where the edit request was made (you may use {{ping}} or {{u}} to attract my attention). Thank you,

I added a "citation needed" tag to Lewis Hamilton's article and it's been reverted by you. Please can you tell me why it's been reverted because I think those paragraphs clearly needed citations. Thank you Robert Jamal _{…talk to me💬} 17:21, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Robertjama12: I removed the request for citations because of what it says in WP:CITELEAD, namely the second paragraph. I simple don't see anything in the lead that is sufficiently controversial to require an inline citation. If you disagree, please feel free to start a discussion on Talk:Lewis Hamilton.

I added some pictures to the 2013 Singapore Grand Prix which I took in 2013, but you deleted most of them due to "excessive images". Can you explain why? I thought images would be good for articles. How many images are too many? Anywhere where I can read a Wiki policy for images? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjamin Goetzinger (talk • contribs) 10:09, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Benjamin Goetzinger,

I should start by clarifying that "excessive images" is simply my opinion, I should have made that clear in my summaries, that's on me, my apologies. If you would like to challenge that opinion (but let's try to compromise here first) feel free to challenge it at Talk:2013 Singapore Grand Prix.

Secondly, the policies are outlined at Wikipedia:Image use policy and the subsection of interest is adding images to articles (thought I'd link this here in case you want to puruse).

The images of the light show and Vettel on screen in my opinion do not satitfy the first criteria of Wikipedia:Image use policy#Adding images to articles, namely I don't see how they increase readers' understanding of the article's subject matter.

The five images (of which I retained two) were images of cars driving past where you were sitting (great view). I felt that these were a lot like a Wikipedia:Gallery (again, opinion), which is not what Wikipedia is for. I suppose that one compromise could be if those images were spread more evenly around the page, which would neglect the gallery issue?

Hi SSB, thanks for the clarification and the links, I read through them and agree with you that the many images do not meet the first criteria of Wikipedia:Image use policy#Adding images to articles. So I'm fine with your edit, and even if they are spread more evenly that still is against the first criteria. ;-) Best regards, Benjamin Goetzinger (talk) 11:42, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (March 2021).

Administrator changes

Alexandria • Happyme22 • RexxS

Guideline and policy news

• Following a request for comment, F7 (invalid fair-use claim) subcriterion a has been deprecated; it covered immediate deletion of non-free media with invalid fair-use tags.
• Following a request for comment, page movers were granted the delete-redirect userright, which allows moving a page over a single-revision redirect, regardless of that redirect's target.

Technical news

• When you move a page that many editors have on their watchlist the history can be split and it might also not be possible to move it again for a while. This is because of a job queue problem. (T278350)
• Code to support some very old web browsers is being removed. This could cause issues in those browsers. (T277803)

Arbitration

• A community consultation on the Arbitration Committee discretionary sanctions procedure is open until April 25.

Why is the name "List of Formula One chassis constructors" not uncontroversial? Constructors are clearly comprised of chassis and engine, therefore "List of Formula One constructors" does not unambiguously define the topic of the article. Carfan568 (talk) 15:24, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my comment on your talk page and reply there if necessary.

"SSSB moved page São Paulo Grand Prix to Brazilian Grand Prix over redirect: Rvt undiscussed move which contradicts WP:COMMONNAME"

then you modified lead: "The São Paulo Grand Prix, previously known as the Brazilian Grand Prix"

Something is wrong here. If GP is "known as" "São Paulo Grand Prix" then what is the point of reverting name change? Eurohunter (talk) 08:18, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Eurohunter: Current name and commonname are not the same thing. The commonname of the event (as far as I can tell) is still the "Brazilian Grand Prix" even if the event is now called the "São Paulo Grand Prix".
SSSB (talk) 08:21, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But how do you determine "commonname"? Source? Eurohunter (talk) 08:22, 23 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I determined the commonname by googling. It may well have changed since then but back then google suggested that the commonname of the Sao Paulo/Brazilian Grand Prix was "Brazilian" (assuming they are considered the same event, which I am not convinced of). In the event that this has changed, or you disagree, fell free to start a RM.

I understand but maybe I'm just too demanding and would like references for everything (maybe too much). Eurohunter (talk) 12:01, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
