Article of the month - 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new Featured Article
 The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

Article of the month - 2008 French Grand Prix, current Good Article nominee.
 The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment.
 The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

Article of the month - 1995 British Grand Prix, currently listed for a Peer Review.
 The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on July 16, 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 61 laps, was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after starting from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season. The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

Keep in mind this list is only meant for nicknames widely used in mass media. Conditions for inclusion (listed on the talk page) are the nickname must be recognized by major music publications, professional music critics, music encyclopedias or academic journals or widely used in major news publications on a regular basis (EX: MJ as King og Pop appears in every news article imaginable). I'd suggest always starting with google books first. If you look up Teen Queen of Pop only Debbie Gibson appears. The Bookkeeper (of the Occult) 13:16, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, is Giorgetto Giugiaro or Marcello Gandini been working for Lamborghini? I think they have only designed some ot their cars? --Typ932 T·C 16:57, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
- They worked on it in a freelance basis or via a contract of another company, I added it in because of their association with the brand (Giugiaro was also involved with the Miura) rather than that because they are employees as I assume that cat means even if it does not state so.

Article of the month - DAMS GD-01, current Peer Review nominee
The DAMS GD-01 was an unraced Formula One car used by the French motorsport team, Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport (DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS and Reynard engineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.

Article of the month - Fittipaldi Automotive, current Good Article Review
 Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative Copersucar. In 1976 Emerson surprised the motor racing world by leaving the title-winning McLaren team to drive for the unsuccessful family outfit. Future world champion Keke Rosberg took his first podium finish in Formula One with the team. The team was based in São Paulo, almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) away from the centre of the world motor racing industry in the UK, before moving to Reading, UK during 1974. It participated in 119 grands prix between 1975 and 1982, entering a total of 156 cars. It achieved 3 podiums and scored 44 championship points.

I just saw the AFD on this. Sorry I was a little late to it. I didn't really have any vested interest in the subject. I created the article based upon an articles for creation submission and it seemed to pass by a thin thread at the time. I was assuming that once up new sources would reveal themselves. Either way I don't think I'd have been able to add much to the debate.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 08:00, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Tagging of Barracuda atomic
I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Barracuda atomic. I do not think that Barracuda atomic fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because The context is clear: this is a mountain bike. That identifies the subject to the reader. What is lacking is much content and sources. I request that you consider not re-tagging Barracuda atomic for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. You are, of course, free to tag the article with {{prod}} or nominate it at WP:AFD. DES (talk) 18:22, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
- I tagged it because it is too small to be an article, plus individual bicycles are not notable unless for a reason or fits within WP:NOTABILITY guidelines. Also no cheap full suspension bikes are notable, plus all MTB have 26 inch wheels, therefore I nominate it under A7, but then, I already have hit the nuke button. Well, never mind, well then admit it, all cheapy 21 gear full sus bikes are not notable, not for a good reason anyway as much as I know and would had been forgotten in a few years time, unless in the context of retro culture in decades time.

- Any of those might be good grounds for a Prod or AfD deletion, but none of them is suitable for a speedy. A7 quite specifically does not apply to bicycles or other products -- it is very intentionally limited to a quite narrow range of topics, and should not be used outside them. (Had it not been so limited it would NOT have obtained consensus -- i was part of those debates.) Most individual makes or models of bicycle are not notable, but some are. See Wikipedia:Stub on small articles. "Too small" is a reason for expansion or improvement, not for deletion, surely not for speedy deletion. DES (talk) 19:07, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Peer Review candidate.
 The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008 at the Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary. It was the eleventh race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team after starting from second position. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was also Glock's first podium finish. Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten into the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.
