Manor WD vs DNQ[edit]

If Manor-Marussia withdrew, we need to cite this. Otherwise, since we have sources that state they indeed showed up intending to race, we should recognize this as a failure to qualify rather than a withdrawal, right? Twirlypen (talk) 08:49, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's not simply a failure to qualify. They never even attempted to take to the track. They didn't even take part in any practice sessions, so the only alternative to the current listing would be DNP. But since they clearly signaled before the start of qualifying that they would not be driving we can recognize this as withdrawn. The fact that they showed up intending to race does not disprove withdrawing. I think you're confusing it with DNA (Did not arrive) there. Tvx1 18:11, 14 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There was no official withdrawal, which is why the FIA asked Manor what they thought they were doing by not taking to the track. So "WD" is not an option. We have no idea whether any attempt was made to take part – they were apparently working on the cars and trying to get them running, and we are not in a position to say with any certainty that they made no attempt. There is also no source to support it. They could see full well that they were not going to be able to get going for qualifying, so they said what they said. But that's not a withdrawal, as there was no official word to the FIA, and that's the only thing that counts. Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:10, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Large grey areas in qualifying table[edit]

Why is there large gray areas in the qualifying table? In my opinion the regular white is much better and nicer looking. Colors should be used to bring attention to information not the opposite as someone has tried here. --80.223.129.187 (talk) 06:46, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Grid 13 twice[edit]

In race classification are two drivers with Grid position 13. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.14.98.205 (talk) 17:55, 16 March 2015 (UTC)  Fixed Kvyat should have had 12 not 13, as everyone gained 1 position as Bottas did not start. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:59, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
    Numbers between one at twelve need to be spelled out. Anything bigger should just use numerals.
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects): b (focused):
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:
  6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass:
    Fix the issues addressed in point #1 and it's a pass.--Nascar king 17:43, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
