Semicolons

You cannot simply replace a comma with a semicolon. Doing that is almost always incorrect. If the semicolon could be replaced by a full stop, then it is used correctly. If replacing it with a full stop would leave an ungrammatical fragment, then it is not. Cinagroni (talk) 22:19, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

There's no such thing as correct grammar. Linguistic prescriptivism is thoroughly discredited and belongs in the bin. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 22:22, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

That's complete nonsense. Your ideology sounds incompatible with the concept of building an encyclopaedia. Cinagroni (talk) 22:25, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

No, linguistic prescriptivist ideology is an often bigoted and thoroughly discredited relic of the Victorian era and I will not tolerate it. Also that last reversion you did and your decision to start getting annoyed with me about "grammar" on my talk page makes me think you're just being antagonistic for the sake of it. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 22:29, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

If you will not tolerate the concept of correct grammar, a collaborative encyclopaedia is definitely not for you. Descriptivism does not mean there are no rules; if you think it does, you have a great deal of learning to do. Cinagroni (talk) 22:31, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

I would describe the way I was taught to use semi-colons in school as the way they were used on that page, so that's clearly how the alleged rules of British English were described to me. I will admit some of the semi-colons were probably overzealous and likely the result of them being retained as the article was edited and sentences got split up and information moved around, but in the case of the one you keep reverting even after I split it into separate sentences the semi-colon is there because the information is meant to represent two different viewpoints and give them equal weight, which is something British schools teach. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 22:35, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

If you were taught that way, you were taught wrongly. Here is a simple primer on how to use semicolons correctly. Cinagroni (talk) 23:33, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

WP:3RR

You have made at least four reverts at 2020 Turkish Grand Prix within a little over an hour. You should self-revert your most recent two edits, which were simply a revert of my preceding edit but with a misleading edit summary. Cinagroni (talk) 23:36, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

I'm not interested in continuing this argument; and I didn't make a misleading edit summary. The information was presented to deliberately emphasise that the two things are not synonymous; you came along with your "semi-colons can't be used this way because I say so" argument; I decided to compromise and change the wording to comply with your arbitrary semi-colon rules; but you changed it again to use a comma just because you felt like it. You haven't actually made an argument as to why you think a comma should be used there; I have made an argument but you have continued to behave in a manner which I am having trouble not interpreting as antagonistic. I was attempting to work towards a compromise based off of discussion. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 00:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

Some advice - providing evidence

Hi,

With regards to your recent RM at Talk:Autódromo José Carlos Pace. The common practice is to provide evidence that your claims are true. This makes it much easier for editors to assess your claims and make thier judgements. It would not be unreasonable for someone to abstain, or even oppose, on the grounds that you have provided no evidence, espically when there is more doubt (for example I would not be convinced that Mexico City circuit would be the common name for Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, should you be tempted to perform such a move request). Evidence can simply be a list of sources from a variay of publications which use that name.
SSSB (talk) 11:05, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks for reminding me SSSB. I was originally going to but then got distracted with family Christmas shenanigans. Regardless the examples weren't difficult to find. I agree that the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez is a case where WP:COMMONNAME wouldn't be the most appropriate title since "Mexico City circuit" would be far too vague since Mexico City is one of the world's largest cities. That is more of an exception though. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:35, 24 December 2020 (UTC)

Lando Norris

Hi there, the reason I keep removing his twitch information is because it's really pushing it in terms of how notability and relevance. Twitch information is hardly ever included in pages, simply because it's usually a side hobby for most notable figures, and not what their notable for. If you're going to include twitch, how far does it go? Do we start including their instagram, twitter, youtube all of their merchandise pages and websites? Wikipedia articles are not fanpages. Romain, Charles, Alex, George, Nicholas to name a few all stream on twitch too, yet none of them have this sort of stuff included in their wikipedia pages, and for good reason. It clutters up the page with insignificant chunks of info. It should be quality over quantity and wikipedia has policies for notability. I already think we've reached a good compromise here with my version. Twitch is already mentioned in his charity efforts (which is notable) without cluttering up the page with his followers and how he feels about the site and his fans. - Cement4802 (talk) 04:58, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

User:Cement4802, it's received substantial coverage (entire articles, not just passing mentions) from multiple reliable independent sources. It's inherently notable. I don't particularly care about his online activities, but it obviously warrants mention on the page. Whether similar information would belong on other driver's pages is a separate issue and depends on how much coverage those activities have received from independent reliable sources. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 05:01, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Look, I completely understand where you're coming from, but I don't think we should be so quick to start including this sort of information. Drivers like Charles, George, Alex etc DO receive the same sort of media coverage for their twitch activities and yet it still hasn't been determined as something notable enough to be included in their wikipedia pages. I'd be happy to make progress on this issue if enough editors believe we should be including this sort of stuff. I think it's best to bring it up on the talk page first, and see what the community thinks of it. There have already been multiple conflicts in the past for and against including his twitch activities so I don't think it's wise to go all out without a discussion first - Cement4802 (talk) 05:20, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Also, I already think we've reached a fair compromise on the info included on the page at the moment. Perhaps we could keep it like this for the time being while things get sorted out, before we start moving in any direction. My stance has always been to leave this sort of stuff out completely so it's not like i'm just trying to manipulate things in my direction - Cement4802 (talk) 05:24, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Cement4802, I'm not sure other drivers have received as much significant coverage for such activities from sources which are both independent and reliable, but I will also admit to not having looked that hard for such coverage, and that coverage of drivers like Leclerc or Grosjean's activities may well be in French and not in English. Regardless, what is or is not included in other driver's particles is tangential to what gets included in Norris's biography. A broader request for comment may be necessary, and members of Wikiprojects which cover things like video games and social media may need to be drafted in to give their perspectives. I will agree that the current state is a workable compromise for the time being. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 05:32, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

70th Anniversary Grand Prix

‎"(...) not everyone knows that a Grand Prix is a type of motor race" - it isn't. Doesn't makes sense, practice, qualifying and race are part of one Grand Prix. Eurohunter (talk) 08:44, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

@Eurohunter: Wikipedia is a general purpose encyclopaedia and not a pedantry pageant. For a person who doesn't know what something is but wants to learn, "Formula One motor race" is more helpful than "Formula One Grand Prix". The "Formula One motor race" wording is as far as I can tell the long standing convention for this exact reason. If you want to change this wording then please seek a consensus to do so. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 08:49, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

It's missleading which is not general purpose of encyclopaedia. Eurohunter (talk) 08:54, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

2021 French GP chart

I'm sorry but I don't know where to start a conversation here, but I removed the reference in that Grand Prix just to be coherent with the other GPs who have the charts but no reference, otherwise I suggest the exact opposite, to add the reference under every lap leader chart

@XMillennium94x: Generally nearly every aspect of every Wikipedia article should be referenced, with statistics such as who was leading on what lap being an unambiguous example of this. If this is not the case on other articles then this should be rectified. Since you seem to be new here, please try to add edit summaries to every single edit you make and please remember to sign every talk page post with four tildes (~) so that your signature is displayed. Removing citations or cited material from articles without an explanation is likely in most cases to be interpreted as vandalism. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 23:23, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Lance Stroll "Pay Driver"

I don't believe referencing the "Pay drivers" wiki article would be contentious, defamatory or considered to be giving undue weight, highlighting that Lance Stroll has been associated with the concept of "Pay Drivers". It's been raised in several notable news outlets, including the BBC and Sky Sports, acknowledged by the driver himself and quoted in dozens of smaller F1 and auto-racing news outlets so it's hardly a fringe concept and anyone from a neutral perspective would acknowledge the association.

Hello, HumanBodyPiloter5,

I noticed that you tagged this page for deletion but didn't inform the page creator of the AFD discussion. This is a mandatory step of any deletion tagging (CSD, PROD, AFD/MFD/RFD/etc.) that you failed to do for this and other nominations. The page creator has a right to know that the pages they created might be deleted and they might want to participate in the discussion. If you don't want to take this step, then please do not tag pages for deletion.

I recommend you learning how to make use of Twinkle, if you use this program and set up your Preferences to "Notify page creator", then Twinkle will post these talk page notices for you. Please, in the future, don't forget to notify page creators any time you tag a page for deletion. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:56, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

In the past this has always happened automatically for me when I've nominated a page for deletion, often before I've been able to post a notification myself. I'm sorry if my assumptions about how the template functions have in some way been incorrect. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 02:40, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Gar Robinson

Hey. I was doing some lookup on Gar Robinson to see if he passes GNG to create an article on him and unfortunately only found one article (which was reproduced multiple times....) which clearly has SIGCOV of him. However, the recent announcement from SC365 regarding his confirmation with Riley to defend his LMP3 title is worded in a way that I believe attempts to place greater emphasis on him, so I'd like your opinion on if it's more than just ROUTINE coverage. [1] -"Ghost of Dan Gurney" 18:23, 18 December 2021 (UTC)

The linked article seems to provide fairly significant coverage so far as LMP3 drivers go. Assessing the notability of sportscar drivers always seems to be particularly difficult due to the quantity of routine coverage many of them receive. In this case I'd say that the driver in question is definitely borderline notable, the main question being whether they are independently notable of other subjects like the teams they have driven for or the events/series they have driven in. I'm not really sure how much notability winning the IMSA LMP3 title imparts, but it's probably not enough to presume notability here. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 16:49, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Deprodding of Martín de Álzaga (racing driver)

Greetings,

I noticed you deprodded the article Martín de Álzaga (racing driver), citing a reason that he was in the Indy 500 and drove in a grand prix. Alzaga was the first to retire in the 1923 Indianapolis 500. Although he won a grand prix race in the 1924 Grand Prix season, this was before Grands Prix were part of any sort of championship structure, and is not likely to generate any true notability.

Alzaga has an article on eswiki, but the references in it seem to be comprised as archives of self-published works, 404's to a newspaper publication, and 1 book that likely only contains a passing message of him. If you compare the pageviews of the eswiki article and this article, it seems this person has much more reach in the Spanish-speaking world, likely due to him being an Argentine.

I'm not going to go to the eswiki and suggest they fix that article's sourcing, but the fact that there is a much more popular article on eswiki that the enwiki page is probably serving as an intermediate between, is making me feel like that having an article for this driver on enwiki is not useful as a stub, and finding any speck of sourcing is insanely difficult to do, and any meaningful sources are probably in Spanish, owing back to the fact that this person may hold a much more notable presence in the eswiki, but not here in the enwiki.

Deletions

Hi; I see your cleanups and deletions on a lot of articles. While your work is usually good, I think you may be overly sensitive and sometimes your deletions make no sense. Like at Nissan Micra, for instance - you wrote citation is needed here, preferably one that can establish that all these awards are actually notable and not just vanity awards. I don't think it requires much research or pre-existing knowledge to be aware that the COTY awards (Europe and Japan) and Good Design award are big deals. It was also the first Japanese car to win ECOTY. To assume that these are vanity awards is kind of bizarre. Thank you,  Mr.choppers | ✎  15:30, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

The issue in that case is that there is no citation, and to lump any superlative on a product like "award winning" should require good quality sourcing, even if the award it won is a well-established an respectable one, since there are many fairly-meaningless vanity awards out there that get handed out like candy to any brand willing to pay the entry fee. Since the awards in question are fairly well-established (particularly ECOTY) I just added a citation needed tag rather than deleting the content, since the lack of sourcing was the only real issue. Even if to someone knowledgeable in the field it may seem obvious that ECOTY is a respectable award to win, that isn't necessarily obvious to all readers, and sourcing should be provided to demonstrate this.
