Styrian motorcycle Grand Prix

In the calendar section I changed BMW M Grand Prix von Styria into BMW M Grand Prix of Styria. Now I saw Babymissfortune (talk · contribs) changed that back.

I do not understand why he did. In German it is ... der Steiermark and in English ...of Styria. So, why do mix it up with the grammatical wrong von?

Projekt Spielberg: BMW M Grand Prix of Styria

BMW press release: BMW M Grand Prix of Styria

But the most irritating is the edit summary, where Babymissfortune linked to Wikipedia:Twinkle.

Twinkle is a popular JavaScript Wikipedia gadget that gives autoconfirmed registered users many extra options to assist them in common Wikipedia maintenance tasks and to help them deal with acts of vandalism or unconstructive edits

Acts of vandalism? Unconstructive edits? Are you serious? That's a simple grammar edit. Do not take the sledgehammer to crack a nut!

See official name from MotoGP website. It is von Styria, not of Styria. Cheers! ^{Babymissfortune} 13:59, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong. That site quite patently lists of Styria (and von Österreich). You’re clearly mixing up races.T v x1 10:15, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Tvx1: How did you know that "I'm clearly mixing up races"? When I sent that message, the site actually stated that it is von Styria. Can you not be open of the possibility that MotoGP changed the GP name? ^{Babymissfortune} 11:10, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That’s really much more of a far-fetched assumption and more difficult to verify. Therefore I assumed an honest human mistake. There is no need to be so defensive.T v x1 11:25, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Le mon was a wet race, the old version of the page showed that, that latest doesn't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.181.34.192 (talk) 14:29, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done This is an irrelevant marking as explained here by the user who has removed it. Wet races award the same points as sunny races and there are no other reasons to highlight them. –Gpmat (talk) 17:20, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Andalusian Grand Prix 3-letter short code

Typically for Grands Prix, the 3-letter short code is taken from the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 standard. In the case of Grands Prix named after regions other than countries found in this standard (before 2020 typically seen in the various races in diverse autonomous communities of Spain, as well as San Marino & Rimini's Coast), efforts are made to create a 3-letter code which fits the race name but does not conflict with an existing country in the ISO standard. For example, "San Marino & Rimini's Coast" becomes RSM rather than SMR, as SMR is already the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for the nation of San Marino. In the case of the Andalusian round new for 2020, we shall not use AND as this is already the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 code for the nation of Andorra. Previously the 3-letter code has been selected as ANC, as this is currently unused in the ISO standard and correlates with the original Spanish spelling of the autonomous community's name, Andalucía. Also acceptable could have been ANL, for example, but I would recommend against changing the code at this point, as the ANC code is already copied to most if not all individual riders' pages results sections. –Grdijk (talk) 18:13, 02 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Season summary formatting

This season has been characterized by a great number of interesting happenings from the COVID-19 pandemic to the absense of Marc Márquez to the Yamaha engine valve controversy. The general season summary in the article lead section has therefore become quite large, and is no longer just "a concise overview of the article's topic" as recommended by the Wikipedia Manual of Style or specifically WP:MOSLEAD. A concise review of the main points should be contained in the lead section, but the bulk of the season information shall be shifted to a body content section after the TOC. –Grdijk (talk) 11:27, 07 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Will also allow space for a more detailed or "play-by-play" account of the season's progress, etc. –Grdijk (talk) 11:41, 07 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MotoGP 2020 World Championship

Article has been written by REPSOL and the picture is bais. Jorge Lorenzo (showed in the picture) did not race this year with HONDA. The article is from world champion 2020 and the picture is from 2019. Repsol just wanted to showcase their dominance with has been lacking all this year.

@KLEFDNB, I can assure you that your Repsol conspiracy theory is false. I don't know why you think the "article has been written by Repsol", there is nearly nothing (positive nor negative) about Repsol even in the article, as they were almost non-existant in the championship, aside from the crash and absense of the 4-time defending champion Marc Márquez, which is certainly noteworthy. The image is selected because there are literally only two Wikimedia Commons free-use images featuring champion Joan Mir in the foreground focus, and both are from 2019 and also feature Jorge Lorenzo. It is therefore even used on Mir's own page. If you have any free-use images of Joan Mir to share, you are welcome to upload them to Wikimedia and update this page (as well as Mir's page).
