Louis Schwitzer Award

 * Nominator(s): MWright96 (talk) 21:07, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

The Louis Schwitzer Award is presented by the Indiana Section of SAE International to recognize innovative concepts used in racing cars entered for the Indianapolis 500. It is named after the inventor Louis H. Schwitzer and the winners of the award have their names added to a trophy on permanent display in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. I believe this list meets the criteria to be at a featured level and look forward to all comments and concerns. Should the list pass this review, it would be the first FL for American open-wheel racing. MWright96 (talk) 21:07, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support – Another great list.  CAPTAIN MEDUSA   talk  18:00, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment
 * "Accolade sponsor BorgWarner and the Indiana Section of SAE International provides" => "Accolade sponsor BorgWarner and the Indiana Section of SAE International provide" (the subject is plural)
 * "The award has been shared just once in its history: in 1977" - I think you need to re-word this. I know what you mean, but in 2002, for example, it was technically shared by six individuals
 * "Firestone tire engineer Cara Adams became the first women recipient" - "women recipient" isn't correct. She isn't a "women".  I think "female recipient" would work better.
 * In the infobox there's an amusing typo in "Reward(s): Plague"

Comments from Dank


 * Standard disclaimer: still don't know what I'm doing, and I mostly AGF on sourcing.
 * A short description would be helpful ... something simple like "engineering award for racing vehicle improvements" would work.
 * Personally, I have no problem at all with the sort order in the "Concept" column; I think sorting in columns like this one is mainly used to group similar items. But some reviewers prefer to sort "Beadall" under B (instead of sorting by quote marks) and to sort "2015 Chevrolet" under C (using "data-sort-value" or sort). Otherwise, I'm not seeing any problems with the table coding.
 * FLC criteria:
 * 1. I'd move "complying with IndyCar Series technical regulations" from the first to the second sentence. I don't get "engineer by". Otherwise, the prose is fine. I've done a little copyediting; feel free to revert or discuss. The coding in the table seems fine. There's an argument that several links are Easter eggs; "March 84C chassis", for instance, links to a company rather than a product. But I'm actually okay with the way you do it, I think.
 * 2. The lead meets WP:LEAD and defines the inclusion criteria.
 * 3a. The list has comprehensive items and annotations.
 * 3b. The article is well-sourced to reliable sources, and the UPSD tool isn't indicating any problems (but this isn't a source review). All relevant retrieval dates are present.
 * 3c. The list meets requirements as a stand-alone list, it isn't a content fork, it doesn't largely duplicate another article (that I can find), and it wouldn't fit easily inside another article.
 * 4. It is navigable.
 * 5. It meets style requirements. You make excellent use of images (but that's about all I'm qualified to say).
 * 6. It is stable.
 * Support, since this is close enough to the finish line. Well done. - Dank (push to talk) 05:20, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Have made the suggested changes MWright96 (talk) 07:20, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

Source review - Pass

 * I linked some publishers/websites to make the linking consistent.
 * Reliability is fine, formatting is good – easy pass for source review. Aza24 (talk) 21:50, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

Quick comments –
 * "who receive a plague and have their names added to a permanent trophy on display at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum." I would hope that they receive a plaque instead of a plague, and this is before considering that way too many of us have received a plague this year. unfortunately.
 * Minor point, but the first two words of the List of recipients section are superfluous and the title could be shortened to Recipients without losing anything in translation. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 01:29, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Both points have been addressed. MWright96 (talk) 05:58, 27 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Support – My pair of minor issues has been addressed. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 21:09, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
