Assess : newly added and existing articles, maybe nominate some good B-class articles for GA; independently assess some as A-class, regardless of GA status.
Cleanup : * Sport governing body (this should-be-major article is in a shameful state) * Field hockey (History section needs sources and accurate information - very vague at the moment.) * Standardize Category:American college sports infobox templates to use same font size and spacing. * Sport in the United Kingdom - the Popularity section is incorrect and unsourced. Reliable data is required.
* Fix project template and/or "to do list" Current version causes tables of content to be hidden unless/until reader chooses "show."

As the article says, in 1990 Senna complained that whoever started on pole (him that year) was effectively at a disadvantage to whoever started second (Prost that year) due to who had the racing line regarding the first corner at that circuit - and that his request for a switch was denied by the organisers.
It should be added to the article that from the next year (1991) onwards, Senna was somewhat vindicated because pole position at Suzuka was indeed moved to the other side of the track when it was realised that Senna had a point in saying that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr gobrien (talk • contribs) 20:50, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
From my foreign (french) standpoint, the writing in this article seems egregiously clumsy, but I don't feel confident enough on the subject to attempt to improve it.
Examples :
"It was this point that the rivalry started, with Senna narrowly won the 1988 championship from Prost."
"Prost, unlike any other driver was able to face a setback in the eye and turn into something as great as a race win."
"With Prost's career coming to close in 1993 season, the stage was set for Senna to stake his claim as the true greatest. However, as often is the case with such a dangerous and unforgiving sport such as Formula 1, Senna was cruelly denied the opportunity to grace his skill into the future."

I Agree with Abolibibelot. As a brazilian, paragraphs like this one have absolutely no reliability and seems like it's written from the author's own subjective POV: "However, as often is the case with such a dangerous and unforgiving (sic) sport such as Formula 1, Senna was cruelly (sic) denied the opportunity to grace (sic) his skill into the future". We should cut the emotions out as any good encyclopedic article requires.
Also, although the relationship Senna-Prost improved after 1994, one citation from Senna is just not enough. This article is badly written and deserves a complete overhaul. Jeisonlucio (talk) 21:40, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
