In the intro, please change "He left hospital" to "He left the hospital". --194.105.229.129 (talk) 18:00, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason to do this. "He left hospital" is a common phrase, particularly when there is no need to specify the specific hospital. Britmax (talk) 18:25, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done This may be some WP:ENGVAR thing, in which case it'll probably be reverted. I did check the source first to make sure there was no engvar called out. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 18:28, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@ScottishFinnishRadish: its not an Engvar thing. Both are acceptable in all forms of English, with the original (no "the") more common.SSSB (talk) 19:20, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard someone from the US say "left hospital" or "go to hospital." In my experience it seems to be an ENGVAR thing, and all sorts of unreliable sources on google seem to agree. That said, I don't really care one way or another. I assumed if someone had a problem with it they would revert, which happened, so all is well. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:27, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Jim Gaffigan even makes a joke of this. Funny but wrong. Not because the English made this language called English, but the American way lacks the capability of differentiating between a certain and some hospital. It might help that the German language makes the same mistake.I have to do this as well. Witwe Bolte (talk) 09:07, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Phonetic transcription

I don't know about the english phonetic transcription, but I'm very sure about the german pronunciation of Michael Schumacher. The "ch" both in Michael and in Schumacher are pronounced the same way. So for now one of the presented variation must be wrong. I have to do this. Witwe Bolte (talk) 09:03, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why removed he is the greatest of all time

MC is one of the greatest drivers of all time so why did you remove that it just seems so weird. 86.128.56.73 (talk) 18:05, 20 July 2022 (UTC) I assume is because thats not fully neutral — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vifvuv (talk • contribs) 16:59, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Split 'Racing record' section

I just made an article entitled List of career achievements by Michael Schumacher.

Is it possible to separate the Racing record section from the Schumacher article for inclusion in the article above? Thank you. F1fans (talk) 11:27, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
