Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year

 * Nominator(s): EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 13:29, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

This list is about the winners of the Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year and the Indianapolis 500 Fastest Rookie of the Year. I began reworking this list in December 2022 and now believe it meets the FLC criteria. All comments are warmly welcome EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 13:29, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

, quite a few issues with the prose, but I'm sure you'll get them fixed up well! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 21:40, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * MyCatIsAChonk
 * I don't quite understand the point of the quotes in the opening sentences, these could very easily be paraphrased (and, IMO, they should be)
 * Is there any other photo that could be in the infobox? The current one is rather ghastly (no offense to uploader)
 * I am unable to find another suitable photograph for the infobox EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 11:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * - "with" fellow racers...
 * - who votes is defined? Also, does the speedway itself encourage them, or does the organization that runs it encourage them?
 * - could be my lack of knowledge on IndyCar, but what does "led laps but retired" and "given leeway" mean in this context?
 * - who sponsors it now?
 * It has no sponsor as of now EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 11:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * - likely worth defining rookie or linking to a definition page
 * - willingness is used twice; replace one of them with a different word
 * - why is this sentence here? Appearance is not mentioned in any of the criteria; in fact, this is the only time "appearance" is seen in the prose
 * Clarified that this was a rule change regarding who would be counted as a rookie from 1958 onward 11:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * - who's they?
 * - "the award" was established, or similar; just don't use a pronoun to start a paragraph
 * Wl "points-based voting system" to Positional voting
 * - when? If before 2000, we should get a price in parentheses or an efn that says the price adjusted for modern inflation
 * Added note to state the price adjusted for inflation EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 11:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * - avoid "it" here, as you've now brought many parts of the trophy into the question, so I'm not sure what "it" is
 * Footnote d: if the years are stated in the other footnote listing price changes, years should be listed here too
 * Under "References" what is the point of the "General" subheader? I cannot find any sfns or other references that direct to those
 * I was using those to verify the extra details in the main tables but have incorporated the references into the main ref list EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 11:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have made changes based on your comments and have commented where appropriate. Let me know if there is anything I have missed or if there is anything else that needs addressing EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 11:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - that was fast, great job! BTW, if you get time, would appreciate any comments at this FLC! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 11:58, 3 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * "Criteria includes" => "Criteria include"
 * "Sportsmanship is a drivers' relationship" => "Sportsmanship is a driver's relationship"
 * "The award established before" => "The award was established before"
 * I don't understand what the "status" column represents. What do values such as "contact", "header", "rod", etc mean?
 * I've added a abbr template that hopefully better explains its meaning. The above values are the reasons why the driver did not finish the race EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 21:55, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That's it I think -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Amendments to the list have been made based on the above points and have replied to one point EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 21:55, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
