List of Formula One Grand Prix winners[edit]

I believe that after a lot of hard work and a peer review this list is now very close to featured list standard, it is fully referenced, accurate and factually correct. Thanks in advance for your comments. NapHit (talk) 22:56, 17 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments from The Rambling Man on tour (talk · contribs)
  • Check the captions - Schuey's is a fragment so either get rid of the full stop or get rid of the ", who" to make it a complete sentence. Other captions need checking, Alonso's looks like a complete sentence for instance, Fittipaldi's too but it needs to lose the comma after his name.
  • The publisher for most of the sources is Formula One. That links to the F1 article on Wikipedia, which presumably isn't what you mean.

That's all I have time for right now, sorry! The Rambling Man on tour (talk) 06:33, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, cheers for the comments all sorted now. NapHit (talk) 14:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move "All figures correct as of 2 November 2008" down to the top of the table. It seems out of place.
  • Since the key section is short, remove section heading for the key and move it to the top of the table.

Otherwise, good—Chris! ct 02:04, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for the comments Chris I've addressed them all. NapHit (talk) 21:12, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • "open wheeled"—Should be hyphenated.
  • "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 most famous of which is the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo." Split this sentence up.
  • "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 most famous of which is the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo.
  • "World Championships"—Do you mean World Champions?
No, but I think I've made the sentence clearer. NapHit (talk) 20:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories, winning 91 times during his career."-->Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most Grand Prix victories, having won 91 times during his career.
  • "longest gap"-->longest time gap or longest time between.
  • "He won his first"-->He won his first Grand Prix...
  • "a gap which spans 14 years 1 month and 1 day."-->a gap that spans 14 years, 1 month, and 1 day. (use non-breaking spaces please)
  • "Luigi Fagioli is the oldest winner of a Formula One Grand Prix, he was 53 years, 22 days old when he won the 1951 French Grand Prix."-->Luigi Fagioli is the oldest winner of a Formula One Grand Prix; he was 53 years and 22 days old when he won the 1951 French Grand Prix. (use non breaking spaces here also)
  • "All figures correct as of 2 November 2008" Move this phrase to the "By driver" section.
  • Change the header "Active" to "Seasons active".
  • This image caption is unclear: "Jacques Villeneuve, son of Gilles, who won 11 Grands Prix during his Formula One career" Did Jacques win 11 Grands Prix or did Gilles win them. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:48, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Spell out what FIA stands for in refs 1 and 2.
  • Make a separate bibliography section and move the full citation for the Tremayne book there. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:05, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008

Comments - I peer-reviewed this, and I must say that it's looking excellent. I only have a couple of minor suggestions.

Added image of Andretti, can't get any more on now I'm afraid. NapHit (talk) 16:53, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you sure that references 26 (Whatever Happened to Carlos Reutemann) and 65 (Whatever Happened to Patrick Tambay? are from the AP? I don't see any indication of this in the articles. Then again, I haven't read the newspaper versions so I can't say for sure.
The original article will have been published by the Indpendent which is published by Associated Press so I think it's right. NapHit (talk) 16:49, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's all from me; I like the page very much otherwise. Giants2008 (17-14) 03:07, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers Giants I've addressed all concerns. NapHit (talk) 16:53, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Very nice list that meets FL standards. Great work on it. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:36, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
