Talk:2011 Chinese Grand Prix

Piecemeal addition of qualifying results
Seriously, don't add qualifying results piecemeal - add all of it in one go at the end of the session. A wikiepdia article should be completely readable at any point in its existance, and never have huge slabs of blank spaces pending events still underway. Please, demonstrate some professionalism. --Falcadore (talk) 07:14, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * As in other sports, adding information to an article before an event has finished is very irritating. But stopping it happening is practically impossible. Bretonbanquet (talk) 07:42, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It isn't impossible at all. It just requires an effort towards professional editting standards. Wikipedia editting isn't a race you know. You don't get bonus points for adding half the information before its finished. --Falcadore (talk) 16:11, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't have to tell me, I never do it. Stopping the IPs and everyone else doing it is not realistic, especially as it's not actually against the rules. It probably should be, but it isn't. Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:14, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Really, it changes from sport to sport. For instance, a tennis match would have an update at the end of each set, a cricket match at the end of each innings and a 100m sprint only after it's completed. But as Formula One is a race, it would seem silly to include results half-way through. One simple update at the end of each qualifying session should suffice. Sellyme Talk 16:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Depending on who you asked, that's exactly what happened. At the end of each qualification round, the article was updated. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 05:09, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

final results
The final results for this race should indicate the number of pit stops for tyres. Did Weber have four stops? 65.94.45.160 (talk) 08:46, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That's better placed in the body of the report. --Falcadore (talk) 08:55, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Lacking
This article is sorely lacking in details. Such as Webber. Or the two different pit stop strategies (2v3) for various teams. Or the fact that the DRS activation line was moved between practice and race. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 03:06, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That'll be because nobody's written a race report yet. You are welcome to have a go. Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:24, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
