Before posting a message here please consider if this is the correct venue. If you wish to discuss me (SSSB), my edits (read the second paragragh if you have an issue with an edit request I implemented) or you wish to bring my attention to a certain matter, this is the correct venue (there are other cases where this is the correct venue).

However, this is not the correct venue to make edit requests. These requests should be made on the talk page of the page which you would like to be edited, if you request an edit on a page in which I have an interest it will appear on my watchlist, I will see it. If you have a problem with an edit request I implemented, please consider if it might not be better to respond where the edit request was made (you may use {{ping}} or {{u}} to attract my attention). Thank you,

Is "Unexplained changes" a new valid reason to revert good faith edits or you just can't help abusing automated tools? --2603:301D:22B2:4000:1487:176F:89EC:3A9 (talk) 05:30, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

It is a valid reason, it has always been a valid reason, it's used as a summary for revertion all the time for edits where it is hard to determine the reason for the edit and/or it is hard to tell if they are constructive or not. You changed "2020" to "{{Currentyear}}" despite 2020 not being the current year, despite the 2021 (current year) report not being ready for publication, without an explanation of why. It was either going to be reverted as "unexplained", "test", "unconstructive", or "vandalism". It certainly didn't look useful, but on the off chance it was, I choose to assume good faith and went for "unexplained". SSSB (talk) 09:32, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Reversion of good-faith BLP objections and edits with no reason given

Please provide a source that demonstrates an unequivocal support among a left-right divide as stated, and further that the dichotomy of opinions are celebration vs. decrying a miscarriage of justice. In the article itself, which is probably biased synthesis, it doesn't even go that far. It actually provides evidence of contrary opinions. 67.174.115.222 (talk) 21:16, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

You've completely mis-represented the reasoning of my edit. I partially reverted your change because your edit summary was partially misleading. You claimed it was a BLP violation (which it was in part, but not the whole), so I reverted the part which wasn't a BLP violation as you effectively gave no summary for changing that part.

F1 race article leads

When pointing out in the lead the cars driven by the podium finishers, why should the links be to the teams and not to the actual cars?

For instance, the 2000 Belgian Grand Prix, won by Mika Häkkinen in a McLaren-Mercedes with Michael Schumacher second in a Ferrari and Ralf Schumacher third in a Williams-BMW: why should the links be to McLaren, Scuderia Ferrari and Williams Grand Prix Engineering, and not to McLaren MP4/15, Ferrari F1-2000 and Williams FW22?

Is it *really* the case that most readers expect to be taken to the articles for the teams, rather than the cars, when they click on the links? 2A02:8084:F1BE:9180:B437:AD65:8037:767E (talk) 16:21, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Is it *really* the case that most readers expect to be taken to the articles for the teams, rather than the cars, when they click on the links? - yes. The text by itself implies we are linking to Mclaren, Ferrari and Williams (because those are the physical words you wikilinked). When you consider the context of text (i.e. A Formula One race report). It makes sense for the links to go to the pages detailing the F1 part of those organistations (e.g. Ferrari and Mclaren) or the relevant page that deals with the F1 team, and someother article with the same name (e.g. Williams). However there is nothing to imply that the link will take them to the make of car.

The trick is to think: "when I read this text, what comes to mind?" When you read the headline "Hamilton leads Mercedes 1-2", what comes to mind is Mercedes the team, not the specific car, the same applies to wikilinks on Wikipedia. SSSB (talk) 18:26, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Just a note to say that it really made me smile that you went back and corrected the syntax of your comment despite it being over a year old! Glad I'm not the only one who does that sort of thing... 😀 Pyrope 14:37, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
