Box score consistency
editA revamping of the Indianapolis 500 box scores (on the individual race articles) was done earlier this year, refreshing them a bit, attempting to make them more consistent. One aspect that needs some input is under the "Status" column. Typically cars that are on the lead lap are listed as +00.000 seconds. Cars that dropped out list the reason for dropping out ("Crash", "Engine", etc.). But cars that are running at the finish (but not on the lead lap) are a mixed bag. Some say "Running". Some say "Flagged". Some say for example -1 Lap, but some say +1 Lap.
I'd like to see some consistency with the latter situation (cars running at the finish but not on the lead lap). I suggest it be the -1 Lap version. As the car is a lap down, they're minus a lap (or more) to the leader. I've never really understood the +1 Lap way of writing it, because the car is not completing more laps that the winner, they completed less. For lead lap cars, it does makes common sense to use +00.000 seconds, because they're completing the same number of laps, needing more time to do so. But since the lapped cars don't go the distance, it should clearly indicate they did less.
Two existing examples, one with "-", one with "+"
The remaining box scores that simply say "Running" or "Flagged" (there are several) need to eventually be upgraded to show +00.00 and laps down - after a consensus is made. Doctorindy↔Talk 14:23, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
Dynamic IPV6 adding corporate sponsors to entry lists
editHi, just bringing attention to this issue. We shouldn't be needlessly adding corporate sponsor names to the entry lists on our season or Indy 500 articles. Today I've reveeted on 2024 Indianapolis 500 and 2013 IndyCar Series but have to go to work now. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk) 14:58, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
