Article of the month – Brabham, featured on the main page (May 2)
Motor Racing Developments Ltd., commonly known as Brabham, was a British racing car manufacturer and Formula One racing team. Founded in 1960 by two Australians, driver Jack Brabham and designer Ron Tauranac, the team won four drivers' and two constructors' world championships in its 30-year Formula One history. Jack Brabham's 1966 drivers' championship remains the only such achievement using a car bearing the driver's own name. In the 1960s, Brabham was the world's largest manufacturer of open wheel racing cars for sale to customer teams, and had built more than 500 cars by 1970. During this period, teams using Brabham cars won championships in Formula Two and Formula Three and competed in the Indianapolis 500. In the 1970s and 1980s, Brabham introduced innovations such as the "fan car"—which won its only race before being withdrawn—in-race refuelling, carbon brakes, and hydropneumatic suspension. The team won two more Formula One drivers' championships in the 1980s with Brazilian Nelson Piquet, and became the first to win a drivers' championship with a turbocharged car. British businessman Bernie Ecclestone owned Brabham during most of the 1970s and 1980s, and later became responsible for administering the commercial aspects of Formula One. Ecclestone sold the team in 1988. Its last owner was the Middlebridge Group, a Japanese engineering firm. Midway through the 1992 season, the team collapsed financially as Middlebridge was unable to make repayments against loans provided by Landhurst Leasing. The case was investigated by the United Kingdom Serious Fraud Office. In 2009, an unsuccessful attempt was made by a German organisation to enter the 2010 Formula One season using the Brabham name.

Grand Tour winner list
I was about to do a check of the Grand Tour winner list, but I saw it has already been promoted, well done. I corrected two things myself. I didn't have time to check all the names and years in the table, but I trust that you made no mistakes. (A featured lists should be verified for unintentional errors and typos, I think.) Following the Vuelta winner list review, you no longer link to the countries but to the organisations. I started a [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cycling#Template_to_replace_flagathlete_for_cyclists|discussion at the Cycling WikiProject about this, and consensus there was that this was not to do this. I'm not saying you should change anything, but only want to make you aware that the Project has thought about this. --EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 19:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for the fixes on the list, just read that discussion, from now on I'll link the nationality instead of the organisation per the convincing arguments about riders having affiliations with certain organisations despite being a different nationality. I would change the links back in the other two lists but that is a lot of work which I can't be bothered to do right now! NapHit (talk) 19:54, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix; promoted to WP:GA quality
The 1995 Brazilian Grand Prix (formally the XXIV Grande Prêmio do Brasil) was a Formula One motor race held on March 26, 1995 at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace, São Paulo, Brazil. It was the first round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 71 laps, was won by Michael Schumacher for the Benetton team after starting from second position. David Coulthard finished second in a Williams, with Gerhard Berger third in a Ferrari. Damon Hill, who started the race from pole position, spun out while leading on lap 30 with an apparent gearbox problem, which was later found to be a suspension failure. Schumacher's win came despite Benetton encountering steering problems with his car during Friday practice, leading to him crashing heavily and necessitating steering component changes for the rest of the event. Despite Schumacher's victory, Hill proved to be faster during the race, and seemed to be on course for a comfortable victory before his sudden retirement. Other notable performances came from Berger, who took the final podium position despite being delayed during one of his routine pit stops due to a problem with a loose wheel nut; Mika Häkkinen, who finished fourth for the McLaren team despite its new car proving to be uncompetitive in pre-season testing; and Mika Salo, who drove strongly in the first half of the race to run third in his first Grand Prix for the Tyrrell team, only to suffer from cramp and drop back to seventh place at the finish. Behind Häkkinen, the other points-scoring finishers were Jean Alesi in the second Ferrari and Mark Blundell, who drove the second McLaren. Blundell was standing in for regular driver Nigel Mansell in the second McLaren until the team could produce a wider chassis in which to accommodate him, as the car's initial cockpit design had proved to be too narrow for him to drive comfortably. Several hours after the conclusion of the race, Schumacher and Coulthard were excluded from the race result as the chemical "fingerprint" of fuel samples from their cars taken after qualifying and the race did not match the specified sample lodged with the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) prior to the event. Berger was thus declared the winner, but the race stewards' decision to exclude them was overturned at an appeal hearing on April 13. Schumacher and Coulthard were reinstated in first and second places respectively, but the two teams did not receive their respective constructors' points. The Ferrari team was unhappy with the decision made at the appeal hearing; Berger called the sport "a joke". The rule concerning the legality of fuels had been changed for the 1995 season, as had the new standardised equipment used for refuelling during the race, the drivers' weighing-in procedure and the conditions of the drivers' racing licences; all of these changes produced controversies which at times threatened to overshadow the race, as did the excessively bumpy condition of the track. The race also marked the first Brazilian Grand Prix to take place since the death of Brazilian triple World Champion Ayrton Senna the previous year; his passing was commemorated in various ways throughout the event.

LFC Colours and crest
If you want to incorporate various colours then fine, but in a section about Liverpool FC, to not have the colours which the club is world famous for and is predominant throughout its history, in a section that largely deals with the manager and the change in question, any image other than all red is not reflective of the text and is terribly confusing. If there is only one image in a section about Liverpool colours then all red is it.Chryed (talk) 17:56, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
- I understand your point but to me it seems a bit pointless to have an image of an all red kit two paragraphs below the infobox where there is an all red kit. Not many people will know that Liverpool have not played in red throughout the club's history, that is why I think it should be the old kit. NapHit (talk) 16:41, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Stanley Park/Damages claim
The reworded part i restored was yours; "Unlike other rivalries, there is no political, geographical or religious split between Liverpool and Everton". The others were mainly unclarified parts i had trimmed for the sake of tidiness (leaving it free to be expanded). As we know the Stanley Park project is still up in the air and nothing is definite on that one. We also don't yet know the conclusion of the damages claim (whether Hicks "sought", or is "seeking" to claim). I had added in the February court ruling which blocked Hicks from suing in the US over the sale of the club.[1] MusoForde (talk) 18:56, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2011 British Grand Prix
The 2011 British Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race, held on 10 July 2011, at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire, England, and won by Fernando Alonso. Changes to the circuit mean that the race was previously classified as being in Northamptonshire, but the movement of the start-finish line means that the race is now officially classed as being in Buckinghamshire. It was the ninth race of the 2011 season, and saw the introduction of a ban on off-throttle blown diffusers, the practice of forcing the engine to continue to produce exhaust gasses to generate downforce when drivers are not using the throttle.

Hello, I see that you have changed the template and made it better (for Slovenian clubs). I am guessing that you are the author (you made it)? Well done. I would, however, ask you for a small favour regarding the template when SVN (Slovenia) is used. Could you change two small things in the head of the template (like you did with "League cup" -> "Slovenian Supercup")? I would like if its possible, that you change "Pokal Hervis" into simply "Cup" for the Slovenian Cup. The reason why is that Pokal Hervis is a sponsorship name of the cup, however, the name is used only for the last couple of seasons and was not used during the 1990s. So I think it would be better that the section would just be named the "Cup" (or "Slovenian Cup" in the worst case), since the name could change in the future due to sponsorship rights. Also, I think instead of "Slovenian Supercup" it would be better if the name in the head section would just be the "Supercup". Personally, I believe that there is no need for "Slovenian" before Cup and Supercup. Anyway, the latter isnt that important, but I believe that the Cup name in the head should change. Anyway, thanks for your help and I will probably use the template for all Slovenian teams currently playing in the top division.Ratipok (talk) 17:11, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for your help. I have figured it out on how to edit the template and have added former SFR Yugoslavia (YUG) there. I do have a question though. Is it possible to simply remove the second cup (in this case "League Cup")? The reason why is because former Yugoslavia football system had only League and Cup competitions and didnt had League cup or Supercup as the third one.Ratipok (talk) 00:46, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
- Not sure what you could do is just have one table and then some footnotes explaining the switch from Yugoslavia to Slovenia I think that would be the easiest solution. NapHit (talk) 12:33, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
- I was thinking the same. However, I still have a slight problem. If I use template for Slovenia (SVN) i have Slovenian Cup and Slovenian Supercup in the head of the table, yet the club played in Yugoslav football system for the first thirty years. If I use a neutral table, then I have a problem because I would again have "League Cup" at the head, yet neither country had one. The solution for my problem would be if a neutral table with "Supercup" implemented would exists, but I tried and dont believe it can be made, or at least I dont know how to make one.Ratipok (talk) 00:01, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Copyedit
Hello, NapHit. This is a courtesy notice that the copy edit you requested for 1978 European Cup Final at the Guild of Copy Editors requests page is now complete. All feedback welcome! |
Copyedit problems reply
I'm very sorry for what happened with your copyedit request today. As you can see, I'm still very new to copyediting, and to Wikipedia as a whole. Please forgive me, I think I still have a lot to learn before going back to copyediting. Thanks, Nathan2055talk - review 02:52, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
- Its fine but the skills necessary to copyedit do take a while to develop, and I see that you're a new editor so perhaps you should have waited a while longer. At least your enthusiastic and willing to take on the burden. I would advise to look into the copyedit backlog as a way of honing your copyedit skills there are over 3,500 articles that require copyediting and I think copyediting a few of these will help your skills develop. NapHit (talk) 11:19, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk: Liverpool F.C.: wrong peer review
Hi. I'm not knowledgeable about these things, but as far as I can see your latest edit to Talk:Liverpool F.C. makes it refer to the 2008 peer review rather than the recent one. Good luck for the FA. --Stfg (talk) 14:05, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Liverpool's FAC
I know that this is Liverpool's fifth FAC. Despite being a Manchester United supporter myself I recognise that Liverpool is also a great club that deserves the best Wikipedia article it can have. So please don't be discouraged by my observations so far; I'll very likely have many more to make before the FAC is over, but I'll also help where I can, as I'm sure will the other reviewers in due course. My aim is to help you get it through FAC this time around, not to criticise all the hard work you've already put in. Malleus Fatuorum 00:34, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- I appreciate the comments you've made, after all if the article is not up to scratch then it should not pass. Your comments so far have been very helpful and have been better than in previous FACs were the prose was deemed awful. So at least I know the article is one the right tracks. NapHit (talk) 12:04, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

All images or infobox
I will give you a choice of either putting back all the images on the articles or we could go down the route of List of PGA Championship champions and put in the infobox like is done on tennis articles such as List of Australian Open men's singles champions. I like it both ways, but what is your preference?SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 20:53, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- The image that was in the lead was fine just leave that there. Infobox's are more for articles. Images are generally required for featured lists, the reason I removed the other ones was because they were comprising the aesthetics of the table. I'll put the image back in the lead, it looks much better than the infobox. NapHit (talk) 20:58, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- So Hagen is more important than Nicklaus and Jones is more important than Hogan? They both won equal amount of titles at the PGA and U.S. Open.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 21:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- When the article got promoted to a featured list three years ago, those were the images in the lead. I think the reason I put Hagen in the lead was because he won his titles first. Look I think you've got the wrong end of the stick from my edits yesterday I was clearing up the areas round the tables so it make the table better and the information easier to read. Images in the lead are encouraged. NapHit (talk) 21:09, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I agree! So, it is also the same way with infoboxes can be used in place of images in a lead section to summarize the article in question. I disagree with you that we have to remove the images because they impede the table, which they don't. Differing monitors display the text and tables differently based on resolution and size fo the screen.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 21:17, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- I can't be bothered debating this any longer it really is trivial, just leave the lists the way they were before I removed the images yeesterday. NapHit (talk) 21:25, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- See this would impact my ongoing FLC right now List of LPGA Championship champions that I corrected to make to the modern FLC standards. The men's images need more work in terms of alt text and other accessibility measures, so these had to have scope rows, scope columns, and yet to be done is alt text. By the way, I would say look at my work on List of Kraft Nabisco Championship champions, List of U.S. Women's Open (golf) champions that are FL now. Before I got to them fixing what Bluedogtn created it was a mess like these. All articles now must be able to meet the access standards even FL, which these were promoted three years ago many things have indeed changed. I fixed these to make all the table access friendly to match the women's because if I had not done so these could have been nominated for FLC removal, which is not what I wanted to happen to your hard work. You did great, but things have moved on to meet a high standard.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 21:51, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Notes in List of U.S. Open article
Why did you remove the verification measure from that article like it is with all the other's? Just a little bit more than a tad bit curious.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 22:03, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- Not sure what verification measure you are on about, but I'll try and explain. Firstly I removed the notes which stated that golfers such as Francis Ouimet were amateurs, the key explains the representative colour means this so the notes were redundant. I removed all those references because they were not needed. The general references do their job, so there is no opint in having extra references when they are not needed. NapHit (talk) 22:31, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- You took out the notes column, which [[1]] it is in an old revision, so you took and put the playoff by the golfer, which should be done in a notes column to make it cleaner and be Access friendly to users with visual readers. Plus, you delete the references for each individual years tournament so now it violates the verification measures to insure consistancy.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 22:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yes I took out the notes column because its redundant without the refs for every year. I have recently had lists promoted to featured status using this method so it not being access friendly doesn't wash, the reader can easily access them. As far as I'm aware you don't need references for individual years for consistency. If there is guideline I'd like to see it because I don't believe there is one. If that was the case then most of my recent nominations would got to featured standard. There is no point in having over a 100 individual refs when two can do the job. NapHit (talk) 22:51, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

- I agree that if all the information can be attributed to a single, reliable general source then additional sources are not necessary. However, if a disparity of information occurs between sources, then others need to be brought in to clarify that information. If there are no differences between the given source and other sources, then one will suffice. SFB 17:58, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

- Yes I took out the notes column because its redundant without the refs for every year. I have recently had lists promoted to featured status using this method so it not being access friendly doesn't wash, the reader can easily access them. As far as I'm aware you don't need references for individual years for consistency. If there is guideline I'd like to see it because I don't believe there is one. If that was the case then most of my recent nominations would got to featured standard. There is no point in having over a 100 individual refs when two can do the job. NapHit (talk) 22:51, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- You took out the notes column, which [[1]] it is in an old revision, so you took and put the playoff by the golfer, which should be done in a notes column to make it cleaner and be Access friendly to users with visual readers. Plus, you delete the references for each individual years tournament so now it violates the verification measures to insure consistancy.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 22:44, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Questionnaire
Hi there, I'm semi-randomly asking users if they would be interested in helping me with my research on Wikipedia. I am writing a dissertation on Wikipedia as part of my undergraduate course at the University of Cambridge. The results will almost certainly not be published to the public, and participants will be anonymous if requested. What I am asking is for you to complete a questionnaire with a number of general, subjective questions about your experiences working on Wikipedia, for example concerning Wikipedia's culture, your motivation in participating and so on. It should take 10-20 minutes. Much more information is available if you are interested. Please reply here or on my talk page. Thanks! I really appreciate any time you can give!

List of Vuelta a España general classification winners
sry mate but I've never heard of "MOS" before. If you could give me a link to where is says that the exact change i made was "against" the MOS, it would be great.
i made that change because it look much better, and its not relevant to link to the nationality to the athlete when your just reading results. If the reader don't understand which country he/she is from, its just to take the mouse cursor over the flag, and see where it leads you...
Example
(SUI) <-- second link to Switzerland
so basically its double up of linking to the nationally of each athlete then. Unnecessary if you ask me, it doesn't look as good either.
also, does this "rule" only effect cycling or does it effect every sport? seems like its for cycling to me

- MOS refers to manual of style its how articles are supposed to be written and laid out and articles mist follow these protocols. The Mos for flags is here and it clearly states that flags should be accompanied with the name of the country as not all readers now what country the flag represents. The rule affects all articles although the Liverpool article doesn't have the names due to a debate which reached consensus just to have the flags. Hope that clears up the issue. I would advise you look over the MOS so you know what the guidelines in future. NapHit (talk) 14:44, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2011 Italian Grand Prix
The 2011 Italian Grand Prix, formally known as the 2011 Gran Premio Santander d'Italia was a Formula One motor race that was held on 11 September 2011 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza in Italy. It was the thirteenth round of the 2011 Formula One season, and the sixtieth time the Italian Grand Prix had been held at Monza. The race, contested over 53 laps, was won by Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel, the drivers' championship leader, after starting from pole position. Jenson Button finished in second place for McLaren, and Fernando Alonso completed the podium in third position for Ferrari. As a consequence of the race, Vettel extended his lead in the World Drivers' Championship to 112 points over Alonso, who moved up to second place in the championship. Button moved into third place in the championship, five points behind Alonso, and level on points with fourth-placed Mark Webber, but ahead on countback.

Route to final table for cups
Hi NapHit, I am trying to get the 1967 European Cup Final up to GA status. I know you have done quite a few of these so I was wondering if you have come across one where a team had to play a play-off match to decide one of their ties. The reason I ask is because Inter had to play one in the semi-final and I am not sure how to put that in the table. Thanks. Adam4267 (talk) 17:42, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks fur correcting the table. To be honest I'm not sure about that way though, something just does't look right about it. I think I'll manage to get the article done on my own, I'm really just copying the layout you've used on the other articles. But if I do need any more advice I'll come and ask you if that's ok.

Article of the month – 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The 2011 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (formally the Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix) was the eighteenth and penultimate round of the 2011 Formula One season. It was held on 13 November 2011 at the Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island, a man-made island on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. It was the third running of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. As is customary with the race, it was the only twilight Grand Prix of the 2011 Formula One season, with a start time of 17:00 local time. The race was won by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton. Second was Ferrari's Fernando Alonso, with Jenson Button coming third in the other McLaren. Sebastian Vettel, in a Red Bull-Renault, had been in pole position, but retired after a puncture in the first lap, near the second corner, which was his first retirement since the 2010 Korean Grand Prix, where he encountered a problem, with his engine. As a result, this prevented him from equalling Michael Schumacher's record of 13 wins in one season, but Vettel did equal Nigel Mansell's 1992 record of 14 pole positions in one season. This was also the first race of 2011 in which neither Red Bull finished on the podium, as Vettel's team-mate Mark Webber finished fourth.

Gladbach subs
I can't remember the URL of the site unfortunately, but I did look at all the other European finals and 1973 wasn't there. I've spend a large amount of time trying to find unused subs on the web but haven't found this one yet. ArtVandelay13 (talk) 16:24, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
- Mind you, an image here [2] gives 4 of their subs for the second leg: 12. Allan Simonsen (FW), 13. Heinz Michallik (DF), 14. Klaus-Dieter Sieloff (DF), GK Bernd Schrage ArtVandelay13 (talk) 16:30, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
