 * As you continue to revert, I am forced not to assume any good faith. Please read both the nationality section on his page, as well as the talk page. If you continue to see a problem, then start a discussion on the talk page, before reverting. In short, Irvine is listed a British because he had a British passport (hence being issued with a British superlicense) and we have no references suggesting that he no longer has one. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 13:01, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Irvine
It may help if I summarise what is on the talk page:
 * The F1 infobox gives the nationality a driver raced under.
 * By F1 rules, your nationality matches your passport.
 * Irvine raced under UK nationality, and this is referenced.
 * Irvine is entitled to Irish nationality, but no-one has yet found a reference that says that he has taken this up and in any case, at no time did he race in F1 under Irish nationality.

The article already covers all of this. I also note that nationality is not the same thing as where one is born, but even in that case, Irvine was born in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and however illogical it may be, the term for someone of that nationality is 'British'.

I agree, and so does the article, that Irvine is Irish in a cultural or ethnical sense, and self-identifies as such, but that is not what the term nationality means, nor is it what the infobox is for.

Please take Schcambo's advice and discuss this further on the talk page if you do not agree. You should also be aware of the three revert rule, which you have already broken in the last 24 hours. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 17:41, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Irvine again
Hi. Could I ask again that you discuss this on the talk page, rather than just editing the article? I have returned the article to the longstanding status quo. I have started a discussion here It would be great if you could respond to the points I have raised there. Many thanks. 4u1e (talk) 12:55, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
