Championship standings tables

Hi Allypap81. Thanks for the good work you have done adding Championship points tables to those F1 race report articles. A couple of minor points to note:

Jean Behra was French, not Italian, and
"Peter Collins" should be linked to Peter Collins (racing driver), like this: [[Peter Collins (racing driver)|Peter Collins]]

But apart from that, keep up the great work! DH85868993 (talk) 03:31, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to say well done, great work :) Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:34, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Championship position change

Hi Allypap81. As you go through and add the "Championship position change" columns to the F1 race reports, can you please also check that the championship table section headings are correct? I'm pretty sure that the heading for all the race reports from 1950-57 is "Drivers' Championship standings after the race" and all the ones from 1958 onwards say "Standings after the race" but there might still be the odd one that says "Standings after the Grand Prix". Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 01:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. Personally, my preference would be for the post-1957 races to say "Championship standings after the race" instead of just "Standings after the race" - what do you think? If you agree, I might raise the topic at WP:F1 to see if there's consensus to make the change. DH85868993 (talk) 01:50, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Right, OK, I'll keep my eye out for them. I agree with you on that change, it does make it a bit clearer I think. Allypap81 (talk) 14:29, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I've just done a search for "standings after the Grand Prix", using quotation marks, and it found no results. Just to check I searched for "standings after the race", which turned up the expected 800-odd results, so I suspect there aren't any including the words "Grand Prix" any more. I'll keep my eye out though Allypap81 (talk) 14:33, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've started a discussion at WP:F1 about the preferred section heading. I've also started another discussion about the best way to indicate "no position change" in the tables. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 02:04, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think about centring the "Pos" column, so the Pos value isn't hard up against the flagicon in the Driver column? If you think it's a good idea, I don't mind updating the articles you have already updated with the icons. DH85868993 (talk) 02:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It would probably be a slight improvement. I'm now on 1958 Indianapolis 500 so from then on I'll do this. Also while I'm doing this I'm adding infoboxes to articles that don't have them, as some of the articles looked very bare with just a sentence in the header and then the classification table Allypap81 (talk) 11:18, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great. Thanks! DH85868993 (talk) 11:41, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that in the last few articles you have updated you have left the points columns right-aligned. Was that deliberate? DH85868993 (talk) 13:43, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, basically before I was left-aligning that column when I copy-pasted the new column data in to make it slighly quicker to do, but now because the column is first rather than last I've not been doing it. I shall do that on all subsequent ones, and as far as I know it's only 1959 that this applies to so far, so I'll change those too. Allypap81 (talk) 13:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the great work you're doing adding the position change columns and infoboxes to the F1 race reports. When you add an infobox, if you could also remove the pole position and fastest lap details from the Notes section, that would be great. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 02:46, 17 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cooper Grand Prix results

First of all well done on filling out (and continuing to add in more) the privately entered Cooper Cars Grand Prix results. It's a rather hard job reading other tables and making sure the right result gets attributed to the right driver, team, car etc, and all the while trying to work with the befuddling Wiki tables. I did it last year for privateer Ferrari results and have worked on many other tables, so I know how much effort actually goes into it!

Now secondly, and why I really came here, do you think it may be right to move the results to a Cooper Grand Prix results? The page is becoming increasingly large now and the tables have gone past the stage at which they are normally broken out onto a separate page. See for example any of the existing pages. Any thoughts? Thanks QueenCake (talk) 20:12, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd certainly say it would be a good idea, it's bigger than some of those on that list. How do we go about it though? It's probably best to get a consensus on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One I guess. I'll post it there. Allypap81 (talk) 21:28, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for November 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2012 A-Division, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page A-Division (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of 2012 Bhutan national football team results

The article 2012 Bhutan national football team results has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Page duplicates entirely content here. As the team only appear to have played one match in the year, it does not seem appropriate that an individual page is dedicated to the season.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
