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,

Hello. I've been a little fearful of editing the F1stats template because of its use on many highly visited pages. The edits I noticed today at Lando's page spurred me to give it a try and help out.

Did I do it correctly?

Also on a more light-hearted note, I just realized I think it was your user page that I sort of copied to my own a while back. I just wanted something, anything really, to put on my page. An infobox seemed appropriate and I guess I just happened to be on a page connected with you somehow. I didn't really choose yours for any particular reason other than that:) --DB1729 (talk) 16:48, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DB1729: I haven't checked throughly, but at a quick glance it seems alright. I wouldn't worry about making mistakes, I do so all the time and it will be checked by other editors, all be it at a later date (on Thursday i took about 50 entries off Williams total at {{F1cstat}}). On the note of the infobox, I take it as a compliment.

I've noticed my last set of changes haven't yet updated. I've tried a null edit and purge and neither helped. Is there something else that can done to help or prevent that? --DB1729 (talk) 17:59, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey nevermind. I figured it out. Where I was looking uses a different template (F1R2021) than what I had updated. And I'm glad you take the user page as a compliment! No reason you shouldn't. Thanks. --DB1729 (talk) 18:37, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first Brazilian Grand Prix to be counted in the world championship was in 1973. Read the article about the 1973 race, please. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 22:42, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MCRainbowSupernova8196: I know that, but The race was the twentieth and penultimate round of the 2019 Formula One World Championship and marked the 48th running of the Brazilian Grand Prix and the 47th time that the race has been run as a World Championship event since the inaugural event in 1973. makes it sound like the first Brazilian Grand Prix was 1973, but it was 1972. (1972 Brazilian Grand Prix)
SSSB (talk) 06:39, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The 1972 Brazilian Grand Prix was a NON-CHAMPIONSHIP RACE. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 13:45, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MCRainbowSupernova8196: so? The event is the Brazilian Grand Prix. "Inaugural event" therefore refers to "Inaugural Brazilian Grand Prix". The inaguaral/first Brazilian Grand Prix was in 1972, the fact it wasn't a championship event is irrelevant when determining the inagural event. The first Brazilian Grand Prix was 1972, the change you keep making says that the first Brazilian Grand Prix was 1973.

Non-championship races don't count. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 16:04, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Non-championship races don't count towards the actual season and standings. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 16:07, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just because the 1908 American Grand Prize was the first Grand Prix to be held in the US doesn't mean it was the first United States Grand Prix. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 16:14, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There ya go. I fixed it so now you can't be mad. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't mad. But the text was wrong. The inagural US Grand Prix was in 1908, as the American Grand Prize was the original name of the American Grand Prix. Non-Championship races do count in terms of inaguaral, that is what all the infoboxes do.
SSSB (talk) 16:49, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wait the article said the 47th time the race had been run as a Championship event, not as an event overall. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 18:24, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So this whole argument is stupid. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 18:25, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wait MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 18:27, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No they don't count as inaugural because they don't count as real championship races. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 18:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We are going in circles, there is no point in continuing this.

Actually if we're being technical, the first Brazilian Grand Prix was held in the early 1940s at either Interlagos or Gávea. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 18:58, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MCRainbowSupernova8196: if you can find a source add it to the article.
SSSB (talk) 19:20, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brazil held Grands Prix during the early parts of WWII at Interlagos and Gavea. Interlagos. Says it in the Brazilian Grand Prix article. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 19:28, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ignore the error at the end there. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 19:29, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brazil held Grands Prix doesn't make them Brazilian Grands Prix. The Styrian Grand Prix is in Austria, but they aren't considered Austrian Grands Prix.
SSSB (talk) 21:44, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There's not much information on those races so who knows? They could've been called the Brazilian Grand Prix. Also what about the American Grand Prize? It's not called the United States Grand Prix but it's considered the United States Grand Prix. MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 22:09, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's because American and United States are synonymous in this context, as are prize and prix.
SSSB (talk) 07:17, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also the Red Bull Ring, where the Austrian Grand Prix is held, is in Styria MCRainbowSupernova8196 (talk) 20:17, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

• Consensus was reached to deprecate Wikipedia:Editor assistance.
• Following a Request for Comment the Book namespace was deprecated.

Technical news

• Wikimedia previously used the IRC network Freenode. However, due to changes over who controlled the network with reports of a forceful takeover by several ex-staff members, the Wikimedia IRC Group Contacts decided to move to the new Libera Chat network. It has been reported that Wikimedia related channels on Freenode have been forcibly taken over if they pointed members to Libera. There is a migration guide and Wikimedia discussions about this.

Arbitration

• After a Clarification request, the Arbitration Committee modified Remedy 5 of the Antisemitism in Poland case. This means sourcing expectations are a discretionary sanction instead of being present on all articles. It also details using the talk page or the Reliable Sources Noticeboard to discuss disputed sources.
