Talk:2007 Australian Grand Prix

Picture request
Could anyone get a fair use or free image of Coulthard's incident with Wurz, please? I think it's a well needed photo of the race. -- Thelb 4 21:43, 20 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll second that; action images are always appealing! Lradrama 17:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

GA Nomination
I am reading through the article, and jotting thoughts as they come to me.


 * 1) Firstly, the intro is disappointingly short. It should at least name the podium finishers, and perhaps any major incidents. - I know the podium is in the infobox, but if you just want to quickly get a summing up of the race, the intro would preferably contain all the info.
 * Done. Neldav 16:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) THe positioning of the picture captioned "The start of the 2007 season" is positioned very awkwardly - perhaps its due to the position of Raikonnen, but it needs to be addressed.
 * Moved Raikkonen picture. Neldav 16:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) There are a few typos and grammatical errors that need adjusting.
 * Can you give me a few quotes from the text of where it is badly written? Neldav 16:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I am going to put the article on hold.--Macca7174 10:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I still think the lead is a little bare. It would be useful to mention that Raikkonnen was pole sitter, and had almost a lights to flag victory, or that Hamilton was a complete surprise as a podium finisher, and that there were five retireees, that sort of thing.
 * I'll try to change a few of the typos/misspellings myself, (I may have actually been mistaken - The Brit's McLaren pitted a lap later... is unclear that you were referring to HAmilton, and not the team (which would read as The Brits, McLaren, pitted a lap later..).
 * Somebody is asking for a photo of a 'David Coultard incident', above, but it doesn't seem to be mentioned in the body of the article. If it was a crash, it would also be notable enough to put in the intro.--Macca7174 09:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I've tidied up a little, if that helps. Cheers. 4u1e 12:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Words on Coulthard's crash added, with ref. 82.110.109.212 11:33, 3 May 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, I have passed the article now. Although if User:Thelb4, above, had not mentioned the coulthard crash, I wouldn't have known about it, and it would have been a glaring omission, becuase it sounds like a particularly spectacular crash.--Macca7174 15:38, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well it certainly was from Wurz's point of view - I imagine an object weighing ~670kg going past your nose at head height tends to get your attention.... Apart from that it wasn't that spectacular, not much damage to either car, but it was a real 'that was close' moment. 4u1e 3 May 2007, 15:48

GA reassessment
After reading this, as well as the 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix, 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, and others, I noticed two things:
 * The referencing is scant on this article.
 * There's no background section.

As a result of this, I'm delisting the article as a GA. Wizardman  01:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
