Formula One revert

Hi QueenCake, I noticed you reverted my edit. I agree that it should be written a bit more moderate, but the infor should still be reintroduced to the article. Perhaps you can rewrite and introduce it ? Also mention the WorldFirst F1 car, made by the people behind the Eco One.

Renault F1 Logo

The team logo on Template:RenaultF1 needs to be changed back to the renault f1 team logo of 2010 to stop the confusion of it looking like lotus f1 in 2012 the template is changed back to yellow and black

Mercedes-Benz in Formula One

Thanks for restructuring Mercedes-Benz in Formula One. I was meaning to do it ever since the article was renamed, but never got around to it. I feel like we need to add something to the lead to make it more obvious that Mercedes has a current F1 team (therefore making this article different to all the other "xxx in Formula One" articles), but I can't quite work out how to word it. If you (agree and) have any ideas on suitable wording, feel free to update the article accordingly. DH85868993 (talk) 01:52, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

HRT?

I know this is a silly question, But what does HRT stand for? I allways thought it stood for "Hispania Racing Team" (HRT) But people keep saying it stands for nothing. Im confused!!! It must stand for something. Daniels Renault Sport 14:52, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

I already explained this to you. It used to stand for "Hispania Racing Team", named after Carabante's business, but when Thesan Capital bought the team they rebranded it as the "HRT Formula 1 Team" (not "Hispania Racing Team Formula 1 Team"). It's like BP – used to stand for British Petroleum, now stands for nothing. It happens. — Jon C.^ॐ 09:38, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Mark Webber "move"

That troll definitely looked familiar to me somehow, and I too thought about the erstwhile Eff Won. I saw that the IP was from Germany though, and also that it didn't seem to be Eff Won's usual turn of phrase being used, but I'm fairly sure that IP's first language is English, not German or anything else. Plus Eff Won wasn't re-blocked until after that IP started that Webber argument. I mentioned it to an admin who weighed in at the talk page, and he reminded me not to feed the trolls, which is sound advice. The move request isn't going anywhere, but let's see if this IP or Eff Won pops up again somewhere else. It seems to be non-stop trouble, as you say! Bretonbanquet (talk) 00:27, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Popped up again here. Pretty sure it's the same person. Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree. Definitely someone we've upset somewhere along the line! Seems a bit aggressive even for Lucy Marie, and she's usually a bit more scatty than this guy appears to be. I don't remember any German users being blocked... it's odd. We'll have to keep our eyes open, especially when the ridiculous Mark Webber move thing is over – he'll probably try something else.

formula one merging!

The article is talking on the same subject: Formula One. This main article could be developed by merging. It is easy for any reader when relevant information is addled into the same place. If this still needs to be where it is, please add a disambiguation link to both articles. In here you can add the article. Thank you!— Precedingcomment added by Andrew Eugene (talk • contribs)

The flag issue

I'll explain everything, right from the beginning.
I know the idea isn't to put each row on one line, but it is to ensure that the text is not line-broken into unsatisfactory ways. Putting the flags in the circuit column and then trying to get the circuit names as neat as possible is very hard. This is because one of two circuits, such as Spa-Francorchamps have hyphens. Non-breaking hyphens are read inconsistently across browsers. On Chrome and Safari, it is same as the hyphen; on IE, it is halfway between an hyphen and an en dash and on my phone the non-breaking hyphen doesn't show up. This being unusable means that nowraps have to be used. The nowraps sort of ignore cell walls and often overlap into other cells, but on the ones in the circuit column, I can get away with using them because "Sochi International Street Circuit" is the widest piece of text in the column. So, to ensure no hyphen-caused line breakages or cell overlaps, I have to use one or two nowraps and non-breaking spaces on Sochi. The problem this causes is that the table is far too wide to fit into the mobile phone view – so the table is scrunched up as best as possible. This is why we need the non-breaking spaces (though I'm sure you knew this). Flags, for whatever reason, do not obey non-breaking spaces or, more frustratingly, nowraps. Hence, even with the non-breaking spaces on Sochi, you would get something like:

Sochi International Street Circuit, Sochi

While the line break between the circuit name and the place is acceptable, the line break between the flag and the text is not. And since a few of the circuits can fit the whole cell of text in the space of "Sochi International Street Circuit", some rows are inconsistent. The only way to solve this is to put the flags in their own column. If you do this without a column heading, the flags are treated as if they are 1 px wide on mobiles, and overlaps the text. I would advise viewing the below table on your mobile:

Sochi International Street Circuit, Sochi

So, to fix this, a visible column header of text is needed. This needs to be visible because otherwise, the word "Circuit" will not be centrally aligned (see this, which also has the non-breaking hyphen comparison), which doesn't work consistently on all platforms (see my sandbox table called "The Phoenix" on both PC and mobile). So, a word or abbreviation, about the width of a flag, is needed. "Nat." fits perfectly, giving the flag column enough width to make the table work as intended on mobiles. It is purely a technical issue that I would love to have a better solution for, but until WP fix these issues regarding nowraps and flags (which I intend to go to WP:VPT about in April, once my Uni term is over), we must use the "Nat." to make the table work on all platforms. —Gyaro–Maguus— 18:27, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

The two pieces of text can be on two separate lines because that can look organised and proper. In the full table, all the circuit names and their locations are coded to allow this to happen, hence it can look neat. However, it just looks messy if it is 'flag, line break, text'. I'm trying to make the table a readable on mobiles as possible; seeing each row take up to four or five or more lines of text is not very readable.

As for bringing it up to the powers-that-be, I'm not too sure who you are referring to, so I'm going to cover all possibilities. I'll start by referring to WP:VPT. Even if they have no current plans to fix the issues, they are still issues. I'm not happy to sit at my computer and just hope that in the future, these problems get fixed. So why not highlight them? Why not say "oh, in creating tables for the 2014 F1 season, I came across these issues that I think ought to be looked at"? Hell, they may even think these are some big problems, or more likely, they'll just tag a few bugzilla tickets and all will be solved. And while there are thousands of articles with mobile-broken tables, that isn't my concern at the moment, this article is, and if those specific editors don't want to address the issues, then so be it. Next time, I'll let you try making Prisonermonkeys happy.

I would also like to bring to your attention that the "Nat." column appears (twice) on the teams and drivers table, and everyone was fine with it. For 2014, we luckily have every race being the race of its country (well, ish, if you include the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which, unless I am very much mistaken, markets itself with the UAE flag) so there cannot be any confusion over the contents of the column anyway. —Gyaro–Maguus— 20:35, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

I'll admit words like "broken" are a bit strong. Maybe "messy" or "disorganized" would have been better. Anyway, I shan't waste any more of your time either. —Gyaro–Maguus— 22:36, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

DRN

Tvx1 has started a DRN discussion here - Talk:2014 Formula_One_season#Race_Title_Language - which he has specifically not included you in, for some unfathomable reason. Just checking that you know about it. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:10, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

No worries :) I'm pretty sure you can post in the bottom section, the general discussion section, even though Tvx1 kindly decided you weren't worth a section of your own! Ridiculous. I agree, the F1 WP was always one of the smoother ones, especially when compared with music or football etc. Now it seems to be a total warzone. Vandal fighting sounds very peaceful in comparison! I'm fairly sure that one of our sockpuppeteers is still there, and very active indeed. Hard to prove though. She He has learned to avoid the usual sockpuppeteer traps.

Manor Marussia car

Hi. I think it's a bit to early to add the Marussia car name to the 2015 season article. They have not announced the car yet and while we know it's a modified 2014 one we can't be sure it will have the same name as well. Just think of some past examples like Benetton B191B, McLaren MP4-17D, Ferrari F2004 M etc. It's better to wait until they announce it. We're in no rush to add it by any means.

Hi, I've noticed you removing the wording "Cornwall, England, UK" from articles.
