List of 125cc Motorcycle World Champions

 * Nominator(s): NapHit (talk) 20:23, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe that is close to being at Featured list standard. NapHit (talk) 20:23, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Comments The point system mentioned at the prose is the current point system. I believe that in the older years the point system were different. I haven't had time to confirm this and find a reference, but I think it should be noted that the point systems weren't always the same. Other than that, it's a great list, good job on completing the list of champions to complement the previous FLs (250cc and MotoGP). — Martin tamb (talk) 09:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorted this, added a sentence to clarify. Thanks for the shout-out, still got the 350cc, and 50/80cc to come yet, as well as an overall list of winners. NapHit (talk) 20:32, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Support Great list, meets FL criteria. — Martin tamb (talk) 21:19, 3 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Alt text while limited looks good. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:36, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Comments –
 * "historically, there have been a number of different points system's." Remove apostrophe from last word.
 * Why is there an empty Refs column in the table? Having a large empty row makes the appearance less appealing.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 16:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Done NapHit (talk) 20:06, 4 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Support – Other than the couple of addressed comments, I found the list to be very good when I first read it. With no further comments, I see no reason not to support.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 19:37, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Support Made a few tweaks, but otherwise another good list motorcycling racing list. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:02, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:02, 6 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice. I only noticed one thing, and that was "Great Britain riders". It just sounds wrong, but I'm not sure if it is. "Riders from Great Britain" is ok though. Support Matthewedwards : Chat  03:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Is there a reason why Gilera aren't included in the constructors table?
 * I count 14 individual Italian winners, lead and table say 13.
 * The key may need some clarification that the rider won the other championship in the same season.
 * I count 13, done the other requests. NapHit (talk) 22:36, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I also count 14 individual Italian winners (Bianchi, Cadalora, Capirossi, Dovizioso, Gramigni, Gresini, Lazzarini, Locatelli, Pagani, Pileri, Provini, Rossi, Ruffo and Ubbiali), fixed the lead and the table. — Martin tamb (talk) 06:58, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Done all requests. NapHit (talk) 22:49, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Comment – Just a minor comment, are Morbidelli and MBA the same constructors? Perhaps a note should explain why are they considered the same constructor or a note that explains Morbidelli's total win of 5 includes 2 wins as MBA. — Martin tamb (talk) 09:29, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Or probably you should split MBA and Morbidelli as two separate constructors, Morbidelli with 3 wins and MBA with 2 wins. From Morbidelli's article, it mentions that MBA (Morbidelli-Benelli-Armi) bikes was produced in a separate factory and was helped by Benelli. In my opinion, they were two different companies producing different bikes. MBA was more like a joint venture between Morbidelli and Benelli. — Martin tamb (talk) 18:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * I've split Morbidelli and MBA win totals, because all the reference I found does not recognize them as the same constructor. — Martin tamb (talk) 16:26, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Support, seems to be a well constructed list, also well researched, no obvious blatant errors that I can see. --Lightlowemon (talk) 04:13, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
