Talk:Elio de Angelis

Update
I've been reading a lot about Elio, and once I go home in a few weeks time I'll sort through my collection of F1 literature and rewrite this article with references etc throughout. If anyone has any more resources could they please post them here? Elio is a memorable figure of 1980's F1 and I think this page deserves to be done well. TheDukey 14:34, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I think the statement "De Angelis was the last driver to die in an F1 car until Roland Ratzenberger at Imola eight years later." should be removed. If another fatal accident takes place the preceding incident is by definition no longer the last and there have been a number of fatalities since Ratzenberger. What is the point being made? It seems to have little to do with De Angelis and more to do with the accident rate of F1 which is covered elsewhere. Nshimbi 23:32, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:1983 JPS poster.jpg
Image:1983 JPS poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Elio de Angelis → Elio De Angelis – The original Italian name has "De" with the capital "D" - see it:Elio De Angelis. Potekhin (talk) 10:48, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Potekhin, the origin of the name may be to use "De" not "de" but firstly all the cited sources use "de" (although a quick Google does show some using "De"). However the proper name of a person to use is the name that they used - to that end I found this image of his car with his name on the side using "de". Also you cant just rename every instance, as per my revert comment you broke two images and changed the titles of three references from what they actually said. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:13, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * This image of his autograph also seems to indicate that de Angelis himself wrote his name with a lower case 'd'. DH85868993 (talk) 11:21, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Looking a bit more it appears that both where used at he time in articles - however the name on the car is likely to be his preference, and the best copy of signature I could find was this that uses "de". Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 11:26, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
 * KylieTastic, thank you very much: your arguments are quite convincing, therefore I recall my renaming request. Cheers, Potekhin (talk) 13:01, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per the evidence of . Although both were used, "de" seems to be his preference. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:34, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
