Who deletes the european flag at the 2010 formula one season and al the other seasons it is the european grand prix i know it is held in germany spain and in the UK but it is still the european grand prix so the european flag User:Kevintjeerdsma1996

So what flag are you going to put for the Pacific Grand Prix? --Golbez (talk) 20:52, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The pacific flag no I'm joking I just mean that the flag of the european grand prix should be the European flag I know the races wher held in spain germany and in the UK but you can sea at the location of the valencia is the spanish flag that is ok but at the grand prix it should be the european flag.and the european grand prix has as specific flag the pacific flag hasen't.

As you're new here, you probably don't know there is consensus - after this matter has been debated to death - to use the location of the race, rather than the title, for the flag. Cheers QueenCake (talk) 21:47, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'dont know what you mean it is just is the european grand prix so the european flag nowbody has to debate on that here at wikipedia User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 (talk) 21:50, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am now warning you that you are nearly in violation of the three revert rule. If you continue to edit war, you will be blocked for 24 hours. --Golbez (talk) 21:57, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok but i whil chalange and debate until it is the european flag.User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 (talk) 22:04, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then you will be blocked from editing. "I will keep doing it until I get my way" is not an attitude that will be tolerated. A majority of F1 Wikipedia editors have agreed that the European flag should not be used, your sole opinion does not override this consensus. The359 (Talk) 22:15, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say I wil change it again but we can debate if it should be the spanish or european flag i will not change the flag anymore you don't have to be afraid I'dont want to get myself blocked i'm not that stupid. .User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 (talk) 22:2112 July 2010 (UTC)

The359 (Talk) I have one question Why we don't use the European Flag.User:Kevintjeerdsma1996 (talk) 22:48 12 July 2010 (UTC)

A couple of days late, but if you are interested, the reason we don't use the European flag to indicate the European Grand Prix is that if we do so then the flag adds no information to the words. It's just decoration. If, on the other hand, we use the flag of the location, then the flag is adding information that is not contained in the name of the race: as you're aware European GPs have been held in many different countries. 4u1e (talk) 16:48, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok thanks man It is a bit strange the european grand prix whit a spanish flag but ok i get it (talk) 19:05 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Breakdown by car number[edit]

Hi Kevin. I'm really sorry, because I know it's a lot of work, but I've reverted your addition of a constructors' table breaking down points allocated by car number to the 1978 Formula One season article. It's basically because I believe that is massively too much detail for a site such as ours - which is a general purpose encyclopedia, not a specialist motorsport site, and specifically not a statistics site. Please read WP:NOT#STATS. Other than ChicaneF1 and Forix (presumably, I don't have a subscription!), I can't think of any other source that breaks down season results in this detail. We're already providing far more detail in our championship summary tables than, for example, the Autocourse annuals do. The 1998 annual that I've just looked at doesn't even have a constructors' championship summary table, just a list of points included in each race report. It's also dupliction: for the period in which car numbers were allocated for a season, it comes close to duplicating the drivers' results table. For the earlier period pre-197? in which car numbers were allocated race by race, not for the season, breaking down season results by car number isn't meaningful anyway. I hope you understand my position. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 05:33, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-championship F1 results[edit]

Hi there, you've removed the non-championship results from a few driver articles today - any particular reason? It would be better if you didn't do it. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bretonbanquet I don't want to be stupid but i think that non championchip results are jus't races like le mans it is not a championchip so ithink the should be removed at all drivers do you know what i mean? The same in the formula one world championchip season all the races on that page should have a one page, because they are not part of the championchip,and also the same ase german f1 championchip and south afrian f1 championchip where the hell is that about it is not part ofe the f1 championchip whe should make a page called non formula championchip races or do you know a better name.(talk)

Please don't remove non-championship races from the season summary articles, as you did here and here. The season summary articles cover the entire F1 season (i.e. including both the championship and non-championship races). DH85868993 (talk) 13:21, 30 October 2010 (UTC) My mistake, I misunderstood your edits. Apologies. DH85868993 (talk) 13:26, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

DH85868993 (talk)Thank you for understanding me.(talk)

The non-Championship results will stay on the drivers' articles until there is a consensus otherwise - they were Formula One races just the same as the Championship ones. I don't know what makes you think you can just remove huge chunks of other people's work like that without even providing an edit summary. Non-Championship races were far, far more important than, for example, European Formula Two races, but you're adding those everywhere. With the season articles, I agree with removing the few results tables that somebody added - they don't add anything useful in my view. There was no German F1 championship, and the South African F1 championship has its own article, so these aren't an issue. The SA results could go in the drivers articles though, when someone has time. Remember though, the season articles are about the Formula One season, not the Championship - today they are the same thing, but in the past it was different. Try to remember that.

Next time you do it, I'll consider it to be vandalism and take the appropriate action. Bretonbanquet (talk) 14:18, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
