This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In progress: An editor is implementing the requested edit. This is not how you make an edit request (you need to mention where you want it added, and why, and your signature goes at the end (I moved it to the end for you)). But I know what you mean, and am implementing it. SSSB (talk) 13:05, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Max Verstappen has just won the 2022 Laureus Sportman of the Year 2022. Can someone add this to his page and awards section? Pyrone89 (talk) 20:11, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:24, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How about checking the news?

@Pyrone89: How about losing the aggressive attitude. Take a look at WP:BURDEN while your at it.06:21, 25 April 2022 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by SSSB (talk • contribs) [reply]

Nothing aggressive about it.

You asked for sources when it is in the global news. It is not like I am making some grand claim. You literally are asking for something that anyone in charge of editing a page on the person should have known about.

I then provide you with multiple sources and somehow you take offense. That is on your problem. Pyrone89 (talk) 15:05, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"How about checking the news?" comes across as aggresive. Just something to bear in mind. Also "You literally are asking for something that anyone in charge of editing a page on the person should have known about." is wrong on several counts. Firstly, no-one is "in charge". Secondly, the people who answer your request may not even follow Formula One or motorsport, they may just be dropping by, or they've seen that there is a request (on the special list) and responded. SSSB (talk) 19:01, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you find it necessary to be snarky with the checking the news remark when you could have just provided the sources you should have provided in the first place? If you want something in the article, then provide a source for it instead of expecting others to go dig for sources for work you are asking them to do for you. If it's such global news, it shouldn't be difficult for you to include a source in your edit request. That and all the points SSSB raised, next edit request just provide the source right away.

wtf do the 1 and 2 superscripts mean

in F1 results table? 81.181.130.106 (talk) 13:33, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They refer to his position in the sprint race, we need to update the key (haven't got time now) SSSB (talk) 13:54, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We rather need a new key. Adding the sprint information is inappropriate since it is used in many articles that deals with content preceding the introduction of sprints.T v x1 15:02, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I meant; update to a new key. I didn't mean: we need to update the existing key. SSSB (talk) 06:26, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Max Verstappen. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
