User talk:Albinomonkey/Archive 1

Welcome!

Hey Albinomonkey - if no one has done so already, let me welcome you to Wikipedia. You may be interested in Wikipedia:How to edit a page and Wikipedia:Manual of Style. You can sign your username and timestamp on talk pages and whatnot with four tildes: ~~~~.

Thanks a lot for finishing my 2004 Monaco Grand Prix summary, which I had entirely forgotten about. You may have noticed that it's now almost the only F1 race with a full summary, but they may all have one eventually. I'm an F1 geek myself - see my userpage, User:Rdsmith4.

Glad to have you, and be bold!

Albinomonkey - I noticed you have previously edited a number of Formula One-related pages. I've started a WikiProject on F1 and I thought you might be interested in participating. Thanks! — Ðåñηÿßôý | Talk 20:58, 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

A-League article

Thanks for the message you left at my Talk page...I've looked at your A-League article, and I reckon it's not too shabby. I called the page the "Hyundai A-League", on the premise that if the sponsorship or the league name changes, you could do a re-direct to a new page. Anyway...I reckon the following changes could be made (you could do them, or I will on the weekend):

The "owners" are the chairmen of the clubs...
Mention of sponsorship and broadcast rights
Stadiums have been confirmed...the team data could be added a table

Apart from that it's fine. If you make the changes, or someone else does, I'll turn my page into a re-direct page, pointing to yours. If you think we're on the right path, then let me know. Cheers, BigDan

Hiya there.. just dropping you a line to say that I think your A-League article is more than good enough to move into the main article space! Oh, and to say that I for one can't wait for the League to kick off! —Stormie 01:30, Nov 7, 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket - Infobox

Squash and I have both made infoboxes as well, mine based on his. They are not yet in template form (I thought it better to wait for design suggestions before going into that process), but you could have a look at them, tell us what you think. I have tried to keep the information on mine as concise as possible (i.e. I have not included strike rates or economy rate). Squash's version My version. My main criticism of yours (and it is minor - yours looks good and the data is arranged logically) is the amount of the window it takes up. Thanks Smoddy | Talk 11:23, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yes I had seen Infobox Cricketer - it was my good self who created it. Thanks for the tip, though, and the compliment! Yours was an excellent place to start, so much gratitude there. Happy Christmas! Smoddy | Talk 22:53, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Yeh, I'd definitely be interested. I was thinking of doing this but waiting till I had a bit of time. Sounds, good - I'll help you get it started. AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 03:24, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ok kool, might sound a bit dumb here, but i am only new to Wikipedia, how do you start a Wikipedia Project, any processes you have to go through? --Gazzareth ^--Talk

Hmmm - I started one a while ago and there was a very helpful page which lists the steps to make one... But I can't find it now, which is a bit frustrating! I'm a member of Wikipedia: WikiProject Formula One, which I think is well set out. But from what I remember, you create a page in the Wikipedia namespace (in our case, create the page Wikipedia: WikiProject A1 Grand Prix), then on the page, you basically start with a brief description of the project and what the goals are (eg to keep up to date, consistent info on A1 Grand Prix series)... Then put a place for members to sign up, a heading for Infoboxes and Templates (which we obviously do not have yet), and make a short "to-Do" list. You'll want to add it to Category: WikiProjects, and the list at Wikipedia: WikiProject. Have a look at Wikipedia: WikiProject best practices, which is the best help page I could find. Then probably just leave messages on peoples talk pages - probably best to start with those who have already contributed to the A1 Grand Prix page, and it will probably (hopefully) grow from there. I'll help out once you've decided when you want to start. Hope that helps.. AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 13:19, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Re: Moving Sauber

Hi Albinomonkey, I moved Sauber to Sauber Petronas because I figured that it was proper for the article to be on the one with the full name (or at least the most popular name) whereas Sauber could also refer to Peter Sauber. I'd rather use the most common name that people know, but if redirection poses to be a hassle, I would not object to having it reverted back to Sauber for the sake of convenience. Thanks and regards. --Andylkl ^(talk) 13:01, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Hello! I've noticed your past interest in Wikipedia:Mind Benders and wanted to share the following announcement with you! I've taken over the responsibilities of Mind Benders, and the page will now be regularly updated. Right now, the pre-round is open (it's more of a creative artistic competition), and round one will open soon (the questions are done, we just need to wait for the pre-round to begin/finish)! So why not check it out? I'll keep you updated! Thanks, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:29, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Michael Schumacher

I decided the NPOV tag had been on this page for too long, as such I've edited it to the best of my ability to conform to Wikipedia's NPOV policy. As you have declared an interest here I wonder if you could review the section and raise any objections you may have to the new version. Thanks, Mark83 17:03, 25 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I too believe at I am coming to the article unbiased, it's just such a difficult balancing act due to the enormous amount of comment these incidents have attracted over the years. Overall though I think it could be natural to view the section as biased against Schumacher simply by the presence of allegations, nevertheless I think any balanced commentary of his career must recognise these allegations (whether they are well founded or not). Having said that I never expected my new version to be perfect and welcome any NPOV revisions or suggestions.

I didn't include this as its POV but just for interest when researching the incidents I came across a M.Schumacher tribute site. The author (a self confessed Schumacher fan) said he honestly believed '94 was a genuine accident but '97 was a blatant attempt to take Villeneuve off and that the 1994 incident received undue attention due to revisionism, i.e. commentators equating the two when looking back.

Regarding "discrete" team orders; yes it isn't really Schumacher specific, but I just included it because Ross Brawn said it after the FIA banned team orders (I think his words were something like it will just go "underground") — perhaps more at home at Scuderia Ferrari. I also thought the emphasis that all teams can practice team orders when it suits them balances the ==Team Orders== section. Mark83 12:09, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Renault Sport

Just a small thing, to link a Formula One related article to Renault Sport (RST) isn't correct. Quoting from Renault's annual report: "Renault Sport Technologies is active in...motor sport activities other than Formula 1". Renault F1 is a separate part of the group.

Finals systems

I've noticed you've done a bit of work on the finals systems, particularly the NRL's final 8. Do you have any time to clean up these articles and maybe start standardising the articles on finals? I think that an article about finals in general, maybe linking to the individual systems would be good. It could be called simply Finals systems or Play-off systems or something like that. I don't really know, but I think that outside Australia and some countries that have been sportingly influenced by Australia, the various final systems are unknown. Most countries just seem to use straight knockout systems if any at all, so some people might be surprised to find other ways. --ThirdEdition 03:06, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

While the opening time may vary by two or three hours, the round will open no earlier than 22:00 UTC. In addition, there are several rule changes, which will be detailed when the round opens. Everyone who answers a question correctly will receive points, but speed does give some extra points! Round three offers 11 new exciting and mind-bogglind questions, written by Deryck C.. These promise to be lots of fun! We sincerely hope you join us.

Also, congratulations to ROYGBIV for winning round two; it was an extremely close game, with the runner-up, Spondoolicks, only two points behind. Let's keep round three competitive! Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 22:31, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

2005 USA-Race

DNS stands for when a car does not take a a race start. Makes sense. By having Ret listed that mean the driver has actually started in that race and will count a race starts towards the driver race start tally.. The formation lap does not count as a lap at all as it is not added towards the race classification. For when does a driver 'start' a Grand Prix? To my mind he does so only if he is on the grid when the flag drops or light goes green at the final start. Should a driver have failed to compete the formation lap, for instance (as was the case with Prost at Imola in 1991), he cannot truly be said to have started the race. In the case of restarted events such as the British GP in 1986, poor Jacques Laffite certainly did start the race, but this was declared null and void and he was not presented to take the restart, which is the only one that counts. For true official race results is best to get them off www.forix.com as they receive their race results from the officials. Yes I know formula1.com is official but not 100% official in statistics. If you decide to leave it as Ret then you must give all the drivers a race start count!

I have spend hours in researching and asking many F1 statistician who are famous and know more on Grand Prix. All the statisian I have contacted and got back told me it is actually DNS not Ret, they also have mention the formula1.com is not very accurate with their race results. The formula1.com is incorrect as listing as ret instead of DNS for 2005-USA. This were the responses from the following people. Renowned F1 statistians, like David Hayhoe or Autosport's Peter Higham agree that all Michelin drivers were DNS in 2005-USA, but consider a RET if a driver didn't made a re-start, for example. That was the common view in the past - no contemporary source listed Lauda as a DNS in 1976-Germany - and they simply ignore the current "null and void" FIA rule. I totally agree to change it as DNS not Ret as they didn't take part on the first lap.

Here is a intersting fact. Button will start his 100th race start in the 2005-China race. But according to wikipedia when doing the math by adding all Button race starts it would be his 101st race start in China as Button has been listed as Ret instead of DNS for this year 2005-USA race. Does this make sense to you. That means wikipedia will have an extra race start for all the drivers who have no started in the 2005 USA race have an extra race start which wouldn't be official to the drivers stats.

I am trying to help you all to have accurate data on Formula 1 on wikipedia. I DO beleive the formula1.com site doesn't not give out accurate race classifications. As I have been involved with FORIX and autosport.com for many years as my job is to look for incorrect data on their server. Andreas 04 October 09:36

Hello. Round four of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Thursday, December 1. This round will be drastically different from round three; part one will consist of a creative project, and part two will be developed from there. The full details will be released when the round opens. Time and speed should not be major factors in this round; thus, there is no exact opening time for the round as speed will not factor into the scoring. Thanks!

NSWRL/ARL/SL/NRL premiers

In reply to your message:

hi mate, I was thinking of making a comprehensive list of the top-grade rugby league premiers in Australia, but I wasn't sure what title it should have since the comps have had different names... I thought List of Australian rugby league premiers was most appropriate, but might be a bit misleading thanks to the Australian Rugby League.

You ask a complicated question! I was going to suggest that it would perhaps be better kept as a subtopic of the Rugby league in Australia article. This seems most appropriate. It would go under the heading of "top tier premiers" or "1st grade premiers". However, its relevance in this article is question when one brings up the topic of the NZ Warriors. Perhaps the best idea is to not create one list. But to link the documents together where this information can already be found, I.e. you'd link the NRL article to the ARL article and it to the NSWRL article. More then that, you'd link the sections of the articles to the other relevant sections and make sure those sections are titled consistently.

Notes:

Make the links big and flash. Perhaps a table of some light colour. Make the links consistent on all pages.
A list of article is somewhat in appropriate also because it means that both the NRL article and your list will have to be kept up to scratch.

On that last note, if you want to still go a-head with your list, do so, but turn the relevant sections from NSWRL,ARL,NRL articles into templates. So that in all the articles they can be templates and thus only one change is required when updating them! Although I'm not sure if this is desirable because people may modify the templates thinking their only used on your list of page, which then may make them not work with the original articles... *sigh* this turned out a little long!

Lastly, if you decide to go with your list, with or with out the template idea then a good name maybe...

"bad F1 templates"

gday - i stumbled across your comment on User talk:Snowspinner that Template:F1 season link and Template:F1sl are "bad F1 templates". They are designed to reduce workload (eg in this i'm working on, where I have to constantly link to F1 season pages) and are used as a subst: so people can understand easier when editing in the future and to reduce "server loading" since it is used so many times. just wondering why they are "bad", and if there is a better/more correct way that i should be doing it. thanks AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 08:19, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose mostly because the Template space is cluttered with undocumented and unused templates like this that do little more than structure a few characters of wikitext. It's much better to teach people to use straight wikitext than templates. If these describe some sort of standard notation, document the notation itself on your WP:F1 project page and provide "copy-and-paste" code for your editors. -- Netoholic @ 08:22, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the (incredibly) quick reply! fair enough... is it ok to leave them there till im finished the list of drivers, because they speed it up a significant amount.. AlbinoMonkey ^(Talk) 08:24, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, let me know if I can help further. I don't think it's a problem for you to keep them for a while during your current effort. Keep the talk pages updated so we know how and where they are used. -- Netoholic @ 08:28, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also keep in mind that one can subst in content from anywhere - it doesn't have to be in the template namespace. You could do {{subst:User:Albinomonkey/F1sl}}, for example. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 09:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of Formula One World Champions

Due to some health reasons (which I am now investigating) my bot couldn't clear out the "Whatlinkshere" as promised on the Help desk.

However, what I have done is go through and fix the "Whatlinkshere" for List of Formula One World Champions to point to either List of Formula One World Constructors' Champions or List of Formula One World Drivers' Champions as you desired.

If you could could see the refreshed "Whatlinkshere" for List of Formula One World Champions it would look like:

RBR, STR

I changed it based on the labels used from an official TV network of F1 during qualifying. Actually, I also saw "Sauber BMW" instead of "BMW Sauber". As I recall the naming of the cars were "STR Cosworth", "RBR Ferrari" "Sauber BMW", and "Aguri Honda", despite the official names of the teams. For example, the car Ferrari is called that despite the fact that the official name is "Scuderia Ferrari Marboro". The reader can just click the link to read more on the details. But if you really believe that it should be changed back, I don't mind. :) --Noypi380 09:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SmackBot month delinking

An unfortunate side-effect of your current delinking of months meant that in a whole heap of Formula One articles, the team March Engineering, which was wrongly linked to the month as March has all become delinked.

I am also fixing up some of the XXXX Placename Grand Prix articles where March engineering is next to Ford Motor Company. Rich Farmbrough 16:53 27 March 2006 (UTC).

List of Formula One drivers

This is an amazing list! I wondered if it would be an idea to footnote the strange .143 points occurences with a brief summary of the explanation given at the pointscoring article - people are clearly going to be surprised by seeing it (I certainly was!), so rather than making them do the hard graft of searching it out, footnoting it (maybe with a link to the pointscoring page) would be helpful, and add significantly to the list. What do you think? TheGrappler 18:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! That's a top class list. TheGrappler 16:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
