Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

South African flag
I take all your points about the old SA flag and I basically agree with them. But its usage on Wikipedia is a much wider issue than the Jody Scheckter page. If you disagree with its usage then there would need to be a discussion somewhere related to the flag itself, not a South African citizen. I suggest Talk:Flag of South Africa for starters. For the usage specifically on F1 pages, try Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One. But the flag is used elsewhere in a similar way. As things stand, its usage is accepted so you shouldn't edit war at the Scheckter page. The older flag is used in the F1 infobox for Scheckter because that was the flag he raced under, not the current flag. The flags that are used for F1 drivers are always the flags they raced under.
