Hello, from where did you get the information that Arturo Flores got disqualified from the NACAM F4 race in Mexico City 2021? Apparently you changed the article but without naming a source.--Lukas Raich (talk) 17:45, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I based my edit on a screenshot of an FIA document. I don't remember where I got it from but I can send it to you if you give me an e-mail or something. Also I just heard that he successfully appealed the DSQ at @youngdriversmonthly on Instagram. --Formula Downforce (talk) 19:15, 17 November 2021 (CET)

Oh so it means he is still the winner of the race?--Lukas Raich (talk) 20:10, 17 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

He was disqualified but I understand that he successfully appeled the disqualification so he should be the winner again. --Formula Downforce (talk) 21:24, 17 November 2021 (CET)

Hello, I was looking at your edits to Ricardo Feller, specifically in the Career Summary section and was wondering why we don't display the sub-class championship standings in this table. For instance, Feller won the Silver Cup title in 2021, how are we supposed to display that in that table? So far, it looks as though the other Silver Cup champions from that season have the sub-class still listed (see Alex Fontana and Rolf Ineichen). SmackJam (talk) 14:50, 18 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Perdonally I think the same season shouldn't be displayed twice and the first standing used should be the overall one but I mainld changed it for consistency because there are many drivers who don't have sub classes displayed as well. In the end it doesn't matter if sub classes are displayed or not but it should be consistent. Formula Downforce (talk) 17:24, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's understandable. Thanks for clearing that up. SmackJam (talk) 20:26, 19 May 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Formula Downforce, I hope this finds you well. I just had a question regarding racing results, when we make tables for a car's results, do we enter its class position or overall position? I'm giving Audi R10 TDI a do-over and in some races, the Porsche RS Spyder beat it. So obviously it's not first overall, but it was still first in class. Do I still enter that as a first place, or its respective overall position? TIA. X-750 _{List of articles I have screwed over} 21:47, 28 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think it really matters which results you ad but it should be clear if class results or overall results are displayed. It's predecccesor, the Audi R8 LMP, has a table for 24HLM results which shows Overall position. Formula Downforce (talk) 07:17, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks. I'll roll with class positions and add footnotes for where they didn't finish that place overall. X-750 _{List of articles I have screwed over} 20:40, 29 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Greetings. Twice you've added ethnicity categories without sources. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 12:44, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The Spanish descent and Swiss residence are literally mentioned in the article. Formula Downforce (talk) 13:28, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Apologies—I've reinstated both, but the category for Algerian descent remains unsourced. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:12, 14 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please find a better source than this – the site doesn't appear to have any credentials to satisfy WP:RS, and statements regarding ethnicity need to be supported by high quality sources. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:32, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What about these sources? [1] [2] [3] [4] Formula Downforce (talk) 19:43, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

All junk. famousfix quotes the WP article word for word, as does sportskeeda and thefocus, and celebzcorner looks like a blog. Try finding sources which aren't blogs, or have lifted the text from WP. Ideally something quoting the man himself. Autosport, GP Racing—those kinds of long-established publications. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi I'm User:BurningBlaze05 and I just wanted to give my thanks to you for contributing and helping out with pages I'm making, I have learning difficulties so I find it a bit hard with learning how wikipedia works sometimes. BurningBlaze05 (talk) 19:45, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Carpimaps was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

I don't think this person meets WP:NMOTORSPORT. Though, I am not familiar with motorsports so I may be incorrect. If this is the case, you need to satisfy WP:GNG. Try finding reliable and independent sources that gives detailed coverage, not who-won-what.

If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

The topic should be notable, but I am not happy with the sourcing situation. None of the footnotes contain proper citations with good references to reliable sources. Footnote 8 for instance contains a reference to a vehicle auction. This is not what in Wikipedia terms is considered to be a reliable source; footnote 1 contains a reference to a car manufacturer's press release, which is a reliable source, but not one that can be used to establish notability.I bet that some automobile journalists have discussed this topic in one way or another, and I would like to see good references to sources like that.

No idea why Cooper Webster's page gets accepted but Louis Sharp's doesn't. Wikipedia logic I guess. BurningBlaze05 (talk) 08:33, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sometimes it's just luck what reviewer you get. They may all work with the same guidelines but guidelines always leave room for interpretation. Formula Downforce (talk) 09:58, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The argument on Sharps's rejection was that he doesn't pass the notability criteria for motorsports which is an understandable arguement since he has only raced in Formula 4 and lower categories. Since there is quite a lot of coverage of him either I thought he might get through the AFC Submission since Andrea Kimi Antonelli and some others also had articles as F4 drivers.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Jovanmilic97 was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

All independent sources (so discounting Red Bull due to him being a Red Bull Junior Team member) here talk about Arao either in passing or through WP:ROUTINE announcements of championship entries or team/academy signings. Seems like a case of WP:TOOSOON, though I'd advise searching for sources in Japanese.
