2015 Berlin ePrix
[edit]- ... that the 2015 Berlin ePrix will be the first Formula race held in Berlin since the 1959 German Grand Prix?
- ALT1:... that the 2015 Berlin ePrix was the first Formula race held in Berlin since the 1959 German Grand Prix?
- Comment: Alt-hook if we post this after the race. I will update the article regularly and add photos after I visited the event.

long enough at 2072 characters, new enough created on 17 may, neutral, no QPQ required. Interesting article. However the hook does not seem to be actually sourced with something that states what we need. One article is from the 1959 race and the other I can't see talking about the E race. We really need a better source because this looks slightly like original research. Blethering Scot 17:35, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- Uh well, it is not so much original research as a simple deduction. There were no Formula One or Formula Two races in Berlin after 1959. Hard to find a source stating something didn't happen though... Zwerg Nase (talk) 19:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
- I would disagree, you need another source such as a timeline of all formula races.Blethering Scot 14:18, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
- Pretty much all I can find that goes in that direction is this which states the history of Berlin's AVUS track, but that does not really back my statement up alltogether and it also is not really a reliable source. Frustrating that the information in my hook is so obvious that no-one seems to bother writing it anywhere on the Internet for me to reference... I guess I'll have to search for a new, race-related hook as soon as I bring this to GA following the race. I would be delighted if you could do the review then as well? Thank you so far for your comments! Zwerg Nase (talk) 14:29, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
I would be happy to do another review if it gets up to GA. Until then ill decline this.Blethering Scot 10:51, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
