Stop changing all the F1 season articles please. You've got it wrong and you're wasting your own time as well as other people's. Formula One predates the World Driver's Championship. The sentences you are changing were correct. Please revert your changes. Thanks. Bretonbanquet (talk) 10:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)


 * It predates World Champhionship, but still it is incorrect, look at F1 official page and also look at newer season, there is overlapping and it needs to be solved different, so officialy there weren't any seasons before 1950, few races before that year simply doesn't make it season, at least not in that sense as it is noted today and from archives, I also copied link in description of my changing which you (Wikipedia) did create and post, and will copy it here again, so please change it into what is actually correct. Thanks.
 * Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One 83.131.247.166 (talk) 13:30, 27 May 2023 (UTC)


 * You're not correct, and this isn't the place to discuss it. Please take it to WT:F1 and people will answer you there. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 14:01, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Firstly, my apologies for discussing it here, this is first time I edited something and have actively done something on Wikipedia, it wasn't my intention to be rude. With that said, I would just add one more link for you to check, and also please check F1 2012 (66th), then F1 2013 (64th), then F1 2014 (68th), then F1 2015 (65th), then F1 2016 (both 70th and 67th somehow?), then F1 2017 (71st), then F1 2018 (69th), then F1 2019 (70th), then F1 2020 (71st again, which I think is actually right order), so there is clearly some inconsistency and confusion, please understand and please above all check this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_seasons 83.131.247.166 (talk) 16:05, 27 May 2023 (UTC)


 * No problem, it's fine, you're not being rude. 2012 says "66th season, 63rd World Championship" – that's correct. 2013 says "64th World Championship" – also correct. 2013 for some reason does not state that it's also the 67th season or year of F1. It appears some pages say both, and some just say the number of Championships, so there's a small inconsistency, but none of these pages is wrong. "Season" just really means "year". 1947 was the first season/year of F1, but 1950 was the first Championship. The link you include – I know about it. It only includes World Championship seasons, so technically the title of that page is wrong. It should be "List of Formula One World Championship seasons".

 * I've started a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One in order to establish a consensus on wording these lead sentences. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:28, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh okay then, misunderstanding is solved, I agree with all what you wrote, I overlooked that word "season", and I agree with what that word means actually, it was just matter of precisely defining words, and I too made mistakes in not reading carefully, so apologies for that too, now it is all clear from my side and thanks for opening discussion in which some inconsistencies will be resolved.

 * No problem, thanks for understanding. I agree that the wording is inconsistent and is too confusing. The other guys will decide on the best wording and we see what happens. Cheers! Bretonbanquet (talk) 16:34, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
