Featured article help
Hi. I noticed you were the nominator for Liverpool F.C. and have successfully helped get some articles about football teams through FAC. I have a couple of national team GAs that I would like to consider taking to FAC, but I had one bad experience and I'm not certain how to go about trying to get them through FAC. I was wondering if you might be able to help with any of the following:
- Djibouti women's national football team
- Mauritius women's national football team
- Rwanda women's national football team
- Sudan women's national football team
I got them all through GA, despite very little playing history and being short. Do any of them have a realistic chance at FAC? What would it take to get them there? I tried with Zanzibar women's national football team and just bombed. --LauraHale (talk) 00:58, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of Formula One circuits, currently listed for Peer Review
The first Grand Prix was held in 1950 at Silverstone; since then 68 circuits have hosted a Grand Prix. Circuits such as the Nürburgring have hosted Grands Prix using different configurations. The first race at the circuit used the 22 kilometres (14 mi) circuit, but concerns over safety meant that more recent Grands Prix have used a shorter, safer circuit. F1 circuits were predominately in Europe during the early years of the championship, as the sport has expanded so has the location of its circuits. New circuits have been used in Asia and America, the change has been a recent occurrence. Of the 20 circuits that will host a Grand Prix in 2012, nearly half were not on the calendar before 1999. The Autodromo Nazionale Monza has hosted the most Grands Prix; it has been used as the circuit for the Italian Grand Prix 61 times. The only season it did not host a race was in 1980, when the Italian Grand Prix was held at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari. The most recent circuit to have hosted a Grand Prix was the Buddh International Circuit, which hosted the Indian Grand Prix in 2011. The Circuit of the Americas is set to become the latest different circuit to host a Grand Prix; when the United States Grand Prix is staged there in 2012, at Austin, Texas. The Pescara Circuit is the longest circuit to have hosted a Grand Prix. The 25.800 km (16.031 mi) long circuit normally held the Coppa Acerbo race, it hosted one World Championship race, the 1957 Pescara Grand Prix. As some circuits have hosted Grands Prix using different configurations, the most recent configuration used is listed in the table below.

Article of the month – 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, failed Today's Featured Article candidate
The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the Formula 1 ING Magyar Nagydíj 2008) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008, at the Hungaroring in Mogyoród, near Budapest, Hungary. It was the 11th race of the 2008 Formula One season. Contested over 70 laps, the race was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team, from a second position start. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It was Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was Glock's first podium finish. The majority of the race consisted of a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari, respectively. Hamilton started from pole position but was beaten at the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship rivals began a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton sustained a punctured tyre just over halfway through the race, giving Massa a lead of more than 20 seconds over Kovalainen. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps remaining, allowing the McLaren driver to win. Räikkönen set the race's fastest lap in the other Ferrari, but was hampered by a poor qualifying performance and was stuck behind Fernando Alonso (Renault) and Glock in turn for almost all of the race. As a consequence of the race, Hamilton extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to five points over Räikkönen, with Massa a further three behind. Robert Kubica, who finished eighth after finding his BMW Sauber car uncompetitive at the Hungaroring, slipped to 13 points behind Hamilton, ahead of teammate Nick Heidfeld and Kovalainen. In the World Constructors' Championship, McLaren passed BMW Sauber for second position, 11 points behind Ferrari.

Article of the month – List of Formula One fatal accidents, current Featured List candidate
Formula One (F1) is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and vehicles must conform. The F1 World Championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual Championships, one for drivers and one for constructors. Safety standards have improved since the first World Championship Grand Prix at Silverstone in 1950, where there was no medical back-up or safety measures, in case of an accident. It was not until the 1960s these were first introduced, as helmets and overalls became mandatory and the FIA assumed responsibility for safety at the circuits. Steps were taken to improve the safety of the Formula One car in the 1970s; the cockpit opening was enlarged allowing the driver to escape quicker in the event of an accident and outside mirrors became mandatory. The 1980s saw further improvement in the structure of the Formula One car, with the monocoque being made out of carbon fibre instead of aluminium, increasing protection upon impact. Following the death of Ayrton Senna in 1994, a number of measures were introduced in an attempt to slow the cars down, including the prohibition of traction control systems. Grooved tyres were introduced in 1998 instead of racing slick tyres to reduce cornering speed. Safety measures continued to be introduced into the 21st century, with a number of circuits having their configuration changed to improve driver safety. This list includes drivers who have died during a FIA World Championship race weekend, and those who have died while driving a Formula One car outside of the World Championship. Track marshals and other race attendees who have died as a result of these accidents are not included in the list. Forty-nine drivers have died driving a Formula One car, with Cameron Earl being the first in 1952. Thirty-two of the drivers died during a World Championship Grand Prix race weekend, six during a test session and eleven during a non-championship Formula One event. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has seen the most fatalities; seven drivers have died there during the course of the Indianapolis 500. Fifteen drivers died in the 1950s; fourteen in the 1960s; twelve in the 1970s; four in the 1980s and two in the 1990s. No driver has suffered a fatal accident since 1994,[A] making this the longest period in F1 history without a driver fatality. Only two Formula One Champions have died while racing or practicing in Formula One, Jochen Rindt in 1970, and Ayrton Senna in 1994. Rindt is the only driver to win the championship posthumously.

Honours section at football club articles
Greetings NapHit. Regarding the change of format in the honours section of Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/Clubs, I fail to see how a runner-up honour can be listed there, as "no." implies number of wins. Any idea on how second-places should be presented? Cheers. – Kosm1fent 06:40, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- I see two options. One is to put runners-up in brackets after the honour, so "Premier League" would be "Premier League (Runners-up)". The other option is to do what the Luton Town article currently does, which is probably the best way for teams with not many honours. Hope that helps, I'll probably move the Luton table to the MOS page for clubs and have that as an example for clubs with little and trophies and the current one as an example for those with more trophies. NapHit (talk) 11:21, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how sortable columns are useful in the Luton Town honours, but I think the new style works well nonetheless. Thanks! – Kosm1fent 14:12, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

A hand at FLC/FLRC
Hi NapHit. Dabomb87 isn't around too frequently and there are the odd times when both Giants2008 and I comment on the same list. This is now the case with one or two FLC/FLRCs that really need to be closed. I was wondering how you'd feel about filling in the Dabomb87-shaped gap for the time being? The Rambling Man (talk) 10:00, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
- Hey, I'd be more than happy to help. The only issue is that I'm planning on travelling to Australia for a year, in a month's time. So i'd only be able to help for a short time, as I more than likely won't be on wiki once I'm in Oz, but if only helping for around a month is beneficial I'd happily oblige. NapHit (talk) 12:03, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

- The tables need to have row and colscopes per MOS:DTT. Bold links such as those above each table are not allowed and should be removed. The prose is not great in places, so could with a copyedit. The tables need to sortable as well, as most featured lists are nowadays. Hope that helps. NapHit (talk) 15:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- So, for example, I unbold gold, silver, bronze;etc?--Lucky102 (talk) 16:22, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- No, the names of the athletes above the tables. Wikilnks should not be bold per MOS:BOLD. NapHit (talk) 16:40, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- Done, but that was in Giant's review, not yours. Would you explain the next one?--Lucky102 (talk) 19:33, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter whose review it was in, the fact is it had to be fixed. I'm not going to go through every single point with you, as I don't have the time nor is it my responsibility. As most of the points are about refs I'll explain that. A claim such as the one in the first comment needs referencing as it is something that can be challenged. It's not a fact and therefore needs a reference. For the sorting, see any number of featured lists such as List of Formula One circuits and compare the coding.

- The thing is, I'm not good at coding.--Lucky102 (talk) 20:37, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- Test in a sandbox then, everyone has been no good at coding at one point, how do they think they learnt to do it? NapHit (talk) 20:57, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
- So I copy and paste the whole article into my sandbox?--Lucky102 (talk) 21:02, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Just the table, please stop pestering me with questions. The best way to figure things out is by trial and error, read what I said above and figure it out. I won't respond to anymore questions, as this is getting quite silly now. NapHit (talk) 21:23, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2012 Singapore Grand Prix
The 2012 Singapore Grand Prix (formally known as the 2012 Formula 1 SingTel Singapore Grand Prix) is a Formula One motor race that took place at the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Marina Bay, Singapore on 23 September 2012 as the fourteenth round of the 2012 season. The race was the thirteenth time that a Singapore Grand Prix has been held, and the fifth time it was a round of the Formula One World Championship. Lewis Hamilton started the race from pole.

Question regarding List of Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross recipients (A)
Hi there. I wonder if I made an operational error during the review process? I had addressed every comment made, improving those remarks adequately where I saw room for improvement, but leaving one comment unaddressed because I felt this was a question of style. Does it make sense to renominate at this point? Thanks MisterBee1966 (talk) 14:50, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
- I wouldn't nominate it again immediately, I think there's some guideline that states you should wait a week or so before re-nominating but I could be wrong. The main problem was that the nomination became stale due to a lack of reviewers. This has been an ongoing problem for a while unfortunately and it does mean that some nominations get neglected. This is no one's fault, what I would encourage you to do next time you nominate is to notify the relevant wikiprojects that the list is at FLC and review some other lists, which might lead to other nominators/reviewers reciprocating.

CL Standings Template
I rebuilt the template for an exemple look at this: Template:2012–13 UEFA Champions League group B standings. For the solution of the problem I suggest to create a Template {{UEFA Champions League group B standings}} so every year we update it with the new information like this one and to extend these template to all competition EL, World Cup, Olympics and so on... Do you think is a good idea? If yes do you have some suggest for these template? --Stigni (talk) 19:58, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- Creating the template you suggested will not solve anything. If you update it every year, then the previous year's standings will be replaced by the new season's ones. We really do not need templates for this or any other competition, wikitables do the job perfectly well. Yes, it may be a pain to update the articles, but its hardly the hardest task in the world. As I've said before, you're trying to fix a problem which does not exist. NapHit (talk) 20:39, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- You are right but every year we have a lot of edit/undo for people that misunderstanding the tie-breaking rules so we have to check only one page for group and not 6 like now, and you also said that if we have 5+ pages it could be useful. --Stigni (talk) 20:49, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
- I did indeed say that, but I have now realised there is no point in these templates. In the current format they are not needed after December, when the group stage is finished. Therefore, they should be deleted as you can just transfer the wikitable to the articles, which again highlights the pointlessness of the templates. The format you suggested here won't work either for the reasons I've stated. I don't think creating templates because people misunderstand the tie-breaking rules is necessary in the slightest.

2008 Summer Olympics football convenience template navbox
Hi, NapHit
I strongly argued that the convenience template navbox is useful and is against nomination for deletion. Users would be able to view the matches of every football game, the team rosters, and vice versa, without having a difficult time searching for a template. Additionally, the navbox also allows templates to have their own in order to reduce and save space of the nations' articles. This is also much similar to the Template:2012 Summer Olympics football convenience template navbox. Sorry if I deleted the template warning, but I already fixed the navbox just minutes ago. Thank you. Raymarcbadz (talk) 06:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know what you mean in the second sentence it makes no sense. They had no issue viewing the matches before, do why did we create these pointless templates. You're entitled to your opinion and that is what the TFD page is for, but so people are aware a discussion is taking place, please do not remove the tag or templates from the nominaton page, as it could be seen that you are hindering the discussion thanks.
