Question
What if you had been the one who did a web search, to see whether Lionel Birnie measured up to our inclusion criteria? Geo Swan (talk) 03:00, 24 April 2019 (UTC)


 * I don't need to. A7 states an article may be nominated for speedy deletion if the article doesn't state what makes the person notable, at the time of tagging the article consisted of only a short infobox and the article therefore didn't (implicitly or explicitly) state why the person was notable, therefore it was elligable under CSD A7.

Draft:2019 English Football League play-offs
Could you give me some help and an update on the status for the page please? JamesVilla44 (talk) 14:42, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , the article is now sourced but it requires significant cleanup. I would be happy to move it back where editors will be able to tidy it up. I will move it back now and start to do some cleanup for you. SSSB (talk) 15:09, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

 * A comment you added was removed by another editor, just a fyi, forgot the tildes..disregard CaptJayRuffins (talk) 11:14, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , okay, for future reference you don't need to inform anyone about the removal of maintence tags. Just amke sure you include your reasoning in the edit summary if you are removing the tag. Further if you do notify someone about something simply putting in a header is not really helpful. Also remeber to indent your comments as explained at WP:THREAD. SSSB (talk) 11:19, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Regarding CSDs
I would appreciate if you didn't tag this article for CSD/A3 so shortly after I created it, especially when it has a in use template on there advising against editing or tagging the page since I was actively working on it, furthermore, it was a technical split by consensus, which provides even more reason not to tag it for CSD. Please keep this in mind next time, thanks. Rob3512  chat?   what I did   13:02, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , firstly, you shouldn't create an article, tag it only with in use and then publish before moving on, there needs to at least be some content. As for consensus, there was no consensus in favour of an empty article, there was consensus in favour of a completed one which actually had content, besides I havn't the time to go looking around for a consensus, if there is a consensus then you should have put that as your reason for speedy deletion not to be carried out rather than remove the template, which I might add you are not allowed to do on an article you created yourself. What I did follows Wikipedia policy and I did nothing wrong. SSSB (talk) 13:10, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that I should have included something along with that in use tag and shouldn't have removed the CSD tag by myself, but you could have checked the page history and waited for a bit before reinstating the CSD tag as I was editing it. Basically, yes, I didn't create the article perfectly, but you could also have given me some leeway and patience before re tagging it for deletion. Rob3512   chat?   what I did   13:24, 30 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , I disagree, you should have added content and then added on the talk page that you had added content and therefore it shouldn't have been deleted. SSSB (talk) 13:28, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Captain John Misson article
Thank you for the feedback on the article. I posted this article a little prematurely. I am new to the whole editing and and creating page thing. I am doing this for a school project. I am going to add more information and I would like you to review a draft of my article before I post it again.

IamArtVandelay21 — Preceding unsigned comment added by IamArtVandelay21 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 1 May 2019 (UTC)


 * whilst I am willing to help you I am probably not the best person for job. You are much better off asking for advice at the teahouse (I notice there is a link on your talk page). Now, so long as your next draft follows the guidelines at WP:NPERSON and WP:V it should be kept in the main space, if you think your article does satisfy the guidelines but you are unable to do so in your first draft you are better off creating it in the draft space and then submitting for review (consider using the article wizard to help with this).


 * However please note that there is already a redirect on James Misson (which is the person for whom you originally created an article) linking to an article where he is already partially covered, therefore you should only create a distinct page for him if you find information on him which would not be relevant on the article where he currently redirects to. It is also important to remeber if you copy and paste from one Wikipedia page to another as part of this it would need to be disclosed (see previous wikilink).


 * Just be careful when you do finally create the article, there are several reasons why an article may be deleted at any time (see WP:CSD for details) and it may further be proposed for deletion or nominated for deletion, it is therefore important to try and follow Wikipedia's guidelines, most importantly WP:COPYRIGHT, WP:V, WP:NPEOPLE and making sure an article doesn't already exist (CSD A10). Hope this helps, SSSB (talk) 16:57, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

RE: Proposed deletion of List of United States tornadoes in May 2019
I noticed your proposal for the deletion for the article List of United States tornadoes in May 2019 but I do not see a discussion page for it under today's articles for deletion. Should any deletion discussion go on the article's talk page? I don't know if it would be appropriate for me to put it on the afd page since I'm not the nominator. Normally, the template for deletion should only be removed if a discussion reaches a consensus to keep the article, or if the discussion goes at least seven days without a consensus. But if a tornado occurs within that time (which is likely), may I remove the template? TornadoLGS (talk) 17:43, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I proposed for deletion, what you are thinking of is nominating for deletion, there is a difference. Proposed deletion is when an editor voices a concern over an article and the idea being that if the issue is not resolved within 7 days then the article can be deleted, the reason I proposed for deletion is per WP:TOOSOON, at this stage there is no content and therefore the page shouldn't have been created, meaning when a tornado does occur you may remove the tag. Hope this explains it. SSSB (talk) 17:56, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I suppose I did jump the gun in creating the article a bit soon. The article will be staying, though, as we are getting the first tornadoes of the month right now. TornadoLGS (talk) 19:18, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Article Konrad Wölki
You really jumped the gun nominating this be deleted. No it isn't sourced, --I indicated that will happen in the creation note. Please look at my created articles to see how much chance there is of this not getting sourced. Jacqke (talk) 19:50, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No I didn't jump the gun. WP:V states that all articles must be sourced, it doesn't have exceptions that if the creator acknowledged it was unsourced and promised to add them later, nor that the creator has a history of adding sources later nor that articles are exempt from this at their first iteration. I would in fact say you were lucky that I only proposed for deletion, there are plenty of editors who would have moved it to the draft space instead. You need to make sure every article is sourced at that is your responsibility as the editor who has added content to/created a article and any information which isn't sourced may be removed at any time, (again WP:V). I didnt jump the gun proposing for deletion, I would say you jumped the gun on creating an article before you had the chance to add references. SSSB (talk) 09:10, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Slapping a delete tag on something newly created less than an hour after it was created is aggressive behavior. Yes I could have used draft space. Yes you could have waited to see if the editor was done before moving in for the kill. Jacqke (talk) 11:27, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , aggressive, I think you're the one being aggressive. If your working on it that's fine, but all articles need to be sourced and you should have placed an appropriate tag to say you were working on it. If either of those 2 things were true I would have left it. However I had no idea you were still working on it so I proposed deletion in line with policy. SSSB (talk) 12:59, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

County roads in Cass County, North Dakota
Hey just wanted to say I created the entire County roads in Cass County, North Dakota. I'm curious as to where at on the page you are referring to as "unreferenced". I have sources there, and used the same template that I did for another county road list page, which no one has said it is "unreferenced". I'm not upset, just want to hear your reason for saying "unreferenced", because that one word reason honestly isn't enough for me. Thanks GMoney0805 (talk) 21:06, 23 April 2019 (UTC)GMoney0805GMoney0805 (talk) 21:06, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * , becuase when I proposed the deletion the article was as far as I could tell had no references to back up what the article was claiming, although it is possible that I missed them. If the article is now referenced you are more than welcome to remove it as mentioned in WP:PROD you may remove the notice at any time. Hope that clears it up. SSSB (talk) 21:33, 23 April 2019 (UTC)


 * ", no worries. Yeah right when I published it, there were no references. I did insert some eventually. I appreciate the help. Thanks! GMoney0805 (talk) 21:51, 23 April 2019 (UTC)GMoney0805GMoney0805 (talk) 21:51, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmmm. Your prod justification was "Unrefrenced" [sic].  But doesn't the very first sentence of WP:prod say it is reserved "for uncontroversial deletion"?  It seems to me this means prod should be reserved for when you honestly think the topic of the article does not measure up to our inclusion criteria, and no one else, even the article creator, if they thought about it, would disagree the topic did not measure up to our inclusion criteria. If you think that there is any possiility others would disagree with you, it is not eligible for prod.
 * blpprod is supposed to be used on BLP articles with no references. A change in policy was introduced, about half a dozen years ago, that BLPs were eligible for deletion, if no references had been supplied, without regard to the individual's actual notability.
 * Which policy do you think justifies deletion of unreferenced non-BLP articles on notable topics?
 * The main reason why BLP articles can be nominated for deletion for lack of references, while non-BLP articles can't, is that the unreferenced BLP represents a risk of damaging a real human being. Geo Swan (talk) 14:34, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * controversial is a relative term. Personally I would consider the deletion of an unreferenced article which isn't extremly notable uncontroversial as there is nothing to suggest notabillity for inclusion nor anything to back up the claims the article makes. Now WP:USRD implies that the content is itself notable, however WP:V states that everything in the namespace must be sourced and that was not the originally the case with this article thus I felt that if it were deleted it would be uncontroversial. SSSB (talk) 14:56, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
 * It might help you to understand deletion processes better if you'd realize that (with the exception of speedy), deletion is about the subject of the article; not the article itself. John from Idegon (talk) 19:57, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, you should never mark up an article for deletion within 10-20 minutes of its creation (some would say an hour). John from Idegon (talk) 20:03, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , Thank you, this has been pointed out below with references to the relevent guidelines. I would also suggest you link to said guidleline when you inform other readers (for future reference it is here) SSSB (talk) 20:13, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Warning to cease patrolling of new pages and allied stuff

 * This is a textbook-example of bite-y tagging and mis-interpretation of policy -- the title easily indicates the subject.
 * Also, you are slapping an A7 a single minute after creation and moving stuff to draft-space after 8 minutes. Really?
 * This shows that you do not understand our notability policy; a subject is either notable or not and independent of the article-quality. More lack of understanding about our notability guidelines is evident from your handling of Hamari Bahu Silk. Half of the PROD-log is filled with tagging(s) on an assumption of notability being dependent on the current conditions of the article and doesn't exhibit the slightest evidence of an abidance by WP:BEFORE.
 * In a nutshell:- you are deleting stuff that is notable by a mile and introducing stuff that's non-notable.


 * These three threads are perfect examples of being a jerk -- wrong policy-wise and trying to be condescending, (on top of that), to longstanding users. This is astonishing (to be mild) even if I exclude the bitey tagging. Pathetic communication-skills, to be mildly put.
 * , consider it as a to  from any further patrolling activities (including but not limited to moving drafts to mainspace, tagging PRODs and CSDs et al) for an undefined period of time, unless you can exhibit your competency.  &#x222F; WBG converse 13:56, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * ever heard of WP:AGF or WP:BITE. SSSB (talk) 13:59, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Give these meta-activities a break and jump into writing quality content. You are making an absolute mess of it over these spheres and on the top of that, not learning from your mistakes, despite being continually pointed by others. Shall you continue, your editing privileges might be affected.
 * I am noting this over your t/p (feel free to delete this message or whatever else you wish) for posterity and easy referencing in future, because your post-warning activities does not give me favorable vibes. &#x222F; WBG converse 14:37, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * , let's take these one by one:
 * "This is a textbook-example of bite-y tagging and mis-interpretation of policy -- the title easily indicates the subject"
 * Despite the second link not opening (apparently some account has been suspended) I get what you are getting at and the second link would appear to indicate notabillity but I would like to point out that I used A1 which quantifies an article where the article does not identify the subject. I don't recall what the article looked like but if I misunderstood the criteria as set out in WP:TWINKLE and WP:CSD A1 perhaps they need to be rewritten but I couldn't identify weather it was a person or a place (names don't usually have commas), appartly it was actually a acadamy that was named after someone, but I clearly couldn't tell when I tagged it.
 * "Also, you are slapping an A7 a single minute after creation and moving stuff to draft-space after 8 minutes. Really?"
 * Nowwhere (that I can find) does it say I shouldn't, as far as I am corcerned an articles credabillity is paramount and should be the first thing there and eight minutes is plently to starting adding sources.
 * "This shows that you do not understand our notability policy; a subject is either notable or not and independent of the article-quality"
 * I agree, but there were no sources, I didn't take article quality into consideration when I tagged it.
 * "More lack of understanding about our notability guidelines is evident from your handling of Hamari Bahu Silk."
 * That was the result of an edit conflict, when I started to move it was unsourced but during the move sources were added, as soon as I realised this I worked to rectify the incident.
 * "Half of the PROD-log is filled with tagging(s) on an assumption of notability being dependent on the current conditions of the article."
 * I know that notabillity isn't dependent on article quality but unsourced content violates WP:V and as WP:V states "Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed."
 * "These three threads are perfect examples of being a jerk -- wrong policy-wise and trying to be condescending, (on top of that), to longstanding users. This is astonishing (to be mild) even if I exclude the bitey tagging. Pathetic communication-skills, to be mildly put."
 * If I come over condescending I apolgise, thats not my intention, being a jerk? I respectfully disagree, I am simply doing the same as other editors (moving an unsourced article to draft space) this is fairly common on new page patrol. As for what you call "Astonishing", I moved to draft space, they blanked article, I requested speedy deletion per author request. As for pathetic communication skills, the above would indicate yours aren't much better, the above comment by you clearly violates WP:BITE and WP:AGF. Finally "longstanding users" - at the time I was unaware of WP:DTR but in anycase I don't think being expirenced warrants relaxing policy.
 * "not learning from your mistakes, despite being continually pointed by others."
 * Theres no point pointing out mistakes if the editors don't indicate with policy/guidelines what I am doing wrong, my activities may not follow policy but to my understanding they are because I simply don't know all the policies and guidelines, if someone were to point out my mistakes referencing guidelines and policy I would be inclined to change my behaviour because without it those threads look more like editor(s) complaining.
 * "post-warning activities"
 * Not much of a warning without refrences to policy/guidelines as explained above. SSSB (talk) 16:34, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Do you even read what you link? WP:A1 states :- If any information in the title or on the page, including links, allows an editor, possibly with the aid of a web search, to find further information on the subject in an attempt to expand or edit it, A1 is not appropriate. A simple GSearch would have enabled you to identify the subject.
 * New_pages_patrol states :- Tagging anything other than attack pages, copyvios, vandalism or complete nonsense only a few minutes after creation may stop the creation of a good faith article and drive away a new contributor. WP:NPPCSD states :- Do not be too hasty to use CSD A1 (no context) and CSD A3 (no content); wait at least 15 minutes to give time to the creator to add content. Also, there exists a warning template for this particular abuse of CSD tagging.
 * WP:NEXIST states :- The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable. Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility or existence of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article. Thus, before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search. Unverifiable content can be removed but removal does not mean deletion of the entire article.
 * Hamari Bahu Silk was a good move to draft-space, if not for it's rapidity. The bad part was that the references were all unreliable and we typically redirect tele-soaps to the channel, if there does not exist ample amount of coverage. Also, WP:TVSHOW, ( in practice ), pretty much prohibits having an article on a serial that is yet to air. &#x222F; WBG converse 08:29, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

 * This's my last note over here. I am glad to note that you understand your shortcomings. There's a reason we have the patroller right (see WP:NPP) -- to screen users who are competent in this area for the affordable margin of error is tiny. There was even a proposal to restrict the entire tagging business to these vetted patrollers (along with the technical ability to let the web-crawlers access it), which didn't gain consensus (but you can get the vibes). Venturing into these areas, demands a complete awareness of all related policies.

Formula 1 and FIA official documents
Hello. I'm very happy when I help you with pages of F1 Grand Prix here on English Wikipedia. For each GP, you have to see more information of FIA document's as notes and penalties from Friday until Sunday. For example, for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, you have to see here for all official document of the event. For every GP, there is a section on site of the FIA called "event & timing information" where we can find all notes. For the future Spanish Grand Prix the same section as here. Best regars :).--79.25.41.16 (talk) 12:30, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * thanks, this will be very useful. SSSB (talk) 12:39, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your welcome in my talk page. I'm always the same person. I prefer to stay as IP. You can find all documents of Spanish Grand Prix here. Penalties by stewards are in Stewards Decision.--79.25.41.16 (talk) 10:58, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I notice that you added a comment on my talk page, though I thought it best to reply here so I would be certain that you would recieve it (you can't ping an IP). I am aware of the official FIA documents (I acutually have this on my favourites bar), thats why I didn't outright remove your addition. But like I said above if you wish to add information it is your responsibillity to add the appriotate references (see WP:PROVEIT), these can be from the official FIA documents as these are reliable. For information on how to add references see WP:CS. Hope this expains the above message a bit further. Thanks, SSSB (talk) 11:16, 12 May 2019 (UTC) (copied from User talk:79.25.41.16 to remove gap in conversation SSSB (talk) 11:36, 12 May 2019 (UTC))

Guideline and policy news
 * An RfC seeks to clarify whether WP:OUTING should include information on just the English Wikipedia or any Wikimedia project.
 * An RfC on WT:RfA concluded that Requests for adminship and bureaucratship are discussions seeking to build consensus.
 * An RfC proposal to make the templates for discussion (TfD) process more like the requested moves (RM) process, i.e. "as a clearinghouse of template discussions", was closed as successful.

Technical news
 * The CSD feature of Twinkle now allows admins to notify page creators of deletion if the page had not been tagged. The default behavior matches that of tagging notifications, and replaces the ability to open the user talk page upon deletion.  You can customize which criteria receive notifications in your Twinkle preferences: look for Notify page creator when deleting under these criteria.
 * Twinkle's d-batch (batch delete) feature now supports deleting subpages (and related redirects and talk pages) of each page. The pages will be listed first but use with caution!  The und-batch (batch undelete) option can now also restore talk pages.

Miscellaneous
 * The previously discussed unblocking of IP addresses indefinitely-blocked before 2009 was approved and has taken place.
 * The 2019 talk pages consultation produced a report for Phase 1 and has entered Phase 2.

 * no stress. A general rule is to keep it chronological. If a driver gets a penalty due to an event in practice put it in the practice section, likewise with quali pens or race pens, put it in those sections. The problem is that if we put the heading as  its just too long. Therefore we keep it short but slightly misleading. SSSB (talk) 17:28, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

This action has resulted in significant community discussion, a request for arbitration (permalink), and, either directly or indirectly, the resignations of numerous administrators and functionaries. The WMF Board of Trustees is aware of the situation, and discussions continue on a statement and a way forward. The Arbitration Committee has sent an open letter to the WMF Board.

Admins and the broader community are encouraged to leave feedback on the talk page.
 * The new page reviewer right is bundled with the admin tool set. Many admins regularly help out at Special:NewPagesFeed, but they may not be aware of improvements, changes, and new tools for the Curation system. Stay up to date by subscribing  here to the NPP newsletter that appears every two months, and/or putting the reviewers' talk page on your watchlist. Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

Question
Hi SSSB,

You seem versed in wikipedia policy, do you mind quickly outlining for me the process our current dispute Talk:2019_Formula_One_World_Championship and ones like it should normally take, for my current and future reference? I have been involved in formal WP:ROCs before, but I find myself in situations on wikipedia where a formal process seems like overkill but an edit war would endure if I push the issue, so I often lets things go. This current dispute seems like a very good middle ground. What is the general etiquette if a user doesn't accept a WP:SNOW? After a certain amount of time (say one or two weeks to allow outside consultation), if the user is completely in the minority but refuses to concede, does the majority make a common sense edit, or is a formal ROC launched? If you can provide any general guidance it would be very much appreciated. Maranello10 (talk) 15:57, 7 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I'm not really an expert and am not overly familiar with the protocal for closing a discussion but I'll try my best.


 * First of all if from this point the user in the minority (in the linked example but will be known here as the minority for generaliry reasons) doesn't respond from here on out it is a fair assumption to make that the minority accepts that wp:snow applies, some editors (including me at times) have too big an ego to admit to this openly. If the minority continues then wp:close would say that we can go and make the edit anyway as it is obvious that this is what the majority of the discussion's participants want.


 * If the minority undoes the edit then I see the following as the best course to take (I couldn't find anything in the WP: space about the course to follow so the following is common sense). We get someone to formally close the discussion or, as it is a wp:snow, one of us could do it (per the footnote in Closing discussions). However I would recommend getting an involved editor in high standing to do it (possibly in the linked example as they are familiar with and expirenced in WP:F1 and Wikipedia generally and are uninvolved, Mclarenfan17 is very unlikely to reject his closure) to stop the minority getting upset and claiming bias etc. but we should definitly wait (see Closing discussions). If the minority then continues to revert then I would report them to admins for ignoring a consensus they know exists.


 * But again I am no expert and most the above is common sense not wp:policy nor wp:guidelines take the above with a pinch of salt. I would recommend reading the pages I linked and any others you see from there, possible start at wp:discussion and go from there, thats what I did. I hope this has been somewhat helpful, I wish it could be more so. SSSB (talk) 20:48, 7 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank-you so much! This is exactly what I needed... as I get more experienced at editing I find myself gravitating to the back-end of wikipedia more, so I feel I need to formalise my knowledge on policy, rather than working things out adhoc a lot of the time. This is an excellent starting point, and yes, I agree with everything you said in regards to the current f1 footnote dispute. Thanks again for taking the time.

Hey, I can understand what you did and I completely accept your apology for that! I'm taking all of the regulations and limits into consideration whenever I go to edit an article, because I have got back into editing here after a very long break. I didn't realise that there was a character limit for the edit summary, either, so I'll have to remember to keep everything short and simple: something that I can't do at times. No hard feelings!

Anonymous user rant
Ignore that guy. You are a great contributor to the WP:F1 and you’ve helped me to learn how to edit as well and defended me when other users are ranting at me. JamesVilla44 (talk) 10:59, 13 August 2019 (UTC) (for future reference JamesVilla44 is refering to this) SSSB (talk)
 * , thanks fot message of support, I appreciate it. I was going to ignore him anyway and to be honest the most prominant emotion I felt was slight amusment. This was clearly an attack by an editor who I'd pissed off for some reason and the fact that the'd critised me in the wrong place (critism directed at me should on my talk page), under an IP and the fact that he gave no evidence in his rant shows that it had no basis in fact and it makes the rant cowardly if nothing else. Again thanks for the support, SSSB (talk) 08:37, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

F1 results and driver swap
Hello. First, thanks for the catch of the "extra cells" on the Scuderia Toro Rosso STR14. I don't know how I managed to put them there, but I didn't catch it because the table is little to wide on my slightly zoomed-in display and they appeared off-screen.

For the real reason I'm here, on the Red Bull Racing RB15 page, by "sort" I meant: sort firstly by order of first appearance and then secondly by last name alphabetical. This follows the way its been done in the past. (see for example the Toro Rosso Grand Prix results 2017 row and Red Bull Racing Grand Prix results 2019 row) This way makes sense in that it puts the replacement driver directly under the former driver. So instead of putting all that in the edit summary, I simply put "sort" in the hopes everyone will get what I mean. I think we should put the order back as top-to-bottom GAS, ALB, VER. 97.85.251.254 (talk) 17:35, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * My bad, didn't realise that way was the Wikiproject's convention. SSSB (talk) 17:55, 17 August 2019 (UTC)
 * I didn't know about that page. Good for future reference. I completely butchered the explanation by the way. Let me try again as it seems the project convention page, while showing great examples, doesn't actually spell it out.
 * Drivers for each team are initially sorted alphabetically at the start of the season. If driver changes are made, the new driver is listed in a new row directly below the former driver. Unless, such as in the case of 2017, (I know, bad example in my first post) the replacement driver has previous results with the team, and in that case the results would resume in that driver's row, albeit including the necessary gap.
 * That's my understanding anyway. 97.85.251.254 (talk) 18:37, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

Closing Discussion
Hi SSSB,

I read on the talk page of that he doesn't want to close Talk:2019_Formula_One_World_Championship. I can appreciate you wanted to avoid going to the admins, but it has been almost two weeks without any further input from anyone so it seems time to end it. Since I started the discussion, if you don't feel like going through the process I am more than happy to do it if you can just point me in the right direction. Let me know either way. Maranello10 (talk) 17:19, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
 * , per WP:CLOSE we can close this discussion oursleves which I have just done. If this needed and was eligiable for an admin close the instructions can be found Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure which obviously also applies to other cases. SSSB (talk) 08:59, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

2019 Italian Grand Prix entry list
This is the official download link. This morning I added it on 2019 Italian Grand Prix replacing a little URL download link which was added by Bbb2007 user. He took the URL from another page inside FIA website, and not here. Now, can you re-add it inside Entries section on 2019 Formula One World Championship equaling it as other races entry list which were took from the same section on FIA website? Thanks.--87.17.106.213 (talk) 12:17, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't get why you want it to be replaced. So long as the link verifies the content, is reliable and the link works it doesn't really matter what the link is. What page the document is taken from doesn't really matter considering it is the same form. We don't even need to use official entry list, we could use another website such as StatsF1 and it wouldn't matter. SSSB (talk) 12:25, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, now I explain better.


 * https://www.fia.com/file/93700/download/28886 - This is the URL link added by Bbb2007 on 2019 Formula One World Championship yesterday.
 * https://www.fia.com/file/93938/download - This is the one copied by here, as you added until 2019 Belgian Grand Prix.


 * In Entries, on 2019 Formula One World Championship, until 2019 Belgian Grand Prix, you added the second style URL, took by Event&Timing pages on FIA website. Bbb2007 took the Italian Entry list from another page on FIA website, in fact it is a little different. For comparing the content, in my opinion, also the Italian Entry list must be as the rest of the style URLs entry list of the other races. So can you replacing the actualling URL with https://www.fia.com/file/93938/download on 2019 Formula One World Championship? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.17.106.213 (talk) 12:37, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I still don't get the benefit but as they convey the same information there's no harm in doing it. Just bear in mind that in future this sort of request should be made on the talk page of the article in question. Thanks, SSSB (talk) 13:52, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks.--87.17.106.213 (talk) 14:06, 6 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:2018 German Grand Prix/GA1
SSSB, I wasn't sure whether you had seen that the reviewer had finished their initial review, noting that significant work needed to be done, since there haven't been any significant edits to the article since they posted in late August. If you wish to pursue this nomination, some response and/or action will be needed soon. Best of luck with the nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:43, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks I'll get on it straight away, I wasn't aware that Zwerg Nase had completed his initial review having never put the review on hold, therefore Legobot never informed me. Sorry about that, mayby I should have put the page on my watchlist, oh well. SSSB (talk) 07:55, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
