Thanks for creating List of Formula One safety cars, CtrlXctrlV!

Wikipedia editor Roches just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

I've linked back to this article over at Safety car. Right under the link in the F1 section there is a 'more sources needed' tag. If you think this list adds enough sources you can clear the tag at Safety car.

To reply, leave a comment on Roches's talk page.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Formula One safety cars is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Formula One safety cars until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. --Falcadore (talk) 14:44, 18 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-08-18T14:44:00.000Z","author":"Falcadore","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Falcadore-2015-08-18T14:44:00.000Z-Nomination_of_List_of_Formula_One_safety_cars_for_deletion","replies":[]}}-->

I really don't think your criticism on the project is fair, even less so compairing them to the Spanish inquisition. You have directly referred to me as being part of "gang" in the deletion discussion, hence why I referred to that in my latest reply there. You keep acting like we want to eridicate all information on F1 Safety Cars from the entire Wikipedia, which is simply no true. As said time and time again, what is notable about them is included in Safety Car. What you have created is a simple list of every model and make ever used, which a considerable number of users think doesn't merit a standalone article due to its low encyplopedic value. As pointed out by others, for the last nineteen years it simply denotes which car Mercedes-Benz decided to promote. That fact that this fairly notable is proven in that no one else has published such a list. Note that editors from outside the project have also posted their reasoning in favour of deletion. There certainly is no WP:F1 gang wanting to eradicate is. Just good faith concerns that this is not encyclopedic. If you really want to add information on Safety Cars to Wikipedia, you easily work on the Safety Car article. There is certainly some room for expansion on the F1 section, concerning their history and working. Furthermore many more racing classes could be added. For instance, while the Indy 500 has a section, the related IndyCar series hasn't.

Thanks for this more neutral and constructive commentary - I respect your views but don't necessarily share them in every regard. In relation to safety cars, if there is "certainly some room for expansion on the F1 section" of that article, it is encouraging, but that is not what happened previously. Ditto with the deletion of a unique "Safety car" section per season article if you recall (though I have little issue with that particular outcome).

As I pointed out in the article discussion, I would have no opposition to a simple table going into the Formula One section of the safety car article similar to the following:

... while filling in the rest of the seasons.

It's not overly detailed, and it centralizes a list that doesn't necessarily warrant a standalone article.

Such a list has already been present in the article and removed. That's what led to CtrlXctrlV creating the standalone article for it in the first place. In that article, it gives undue weight on the F1 section over the other motorsports' section. What's really more important for that article right now, is to include other forms of motor sports that are currently absent (e.g. IndyCar series).

Hi Twirlypen, I had envisaged a table also as you suggest above but I am not a wizard like some of you guys and as Tvx1 correctly noted, it once did exist in Safety Car, although not as neatly presented as yours (it was a bulky dot point list). I have to use my "I am a novice" card again and say I am unsure of what steps there are now given the somewhat surprising deletion of List of Formula One safety cars. I will definitely ask for a review as I do not believe the reason was justified, relative to similar or worst lists floating around. Be that as it may, if either of you can aid discussions on inclusion of a table in Safety car (perhaps only from 1992/93, the "official era"), it would avoid us all going back to square one.

Erm, no. That only focusses on the pace cars used in the Indianapolis 500 races. Nothing is mentioned there (and it shouldn't be) about the pace cars used in the other races held as part of the IndyCar series and its predecessors. And that entire class of motorsport is absent from the Safety Car article all-together. Also, the deletion discussion wasn't closed in an inappropriate manner. AFD's generally run for seven days after which an uninvolved administrator comes by to assess the consensus. That 7 day mark had passed for this particular AFD and discussion had dried down. So their actions were not inappropriate at all.Tvx1 16:02, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2015-08-26T16:02:00.000Z","author":"Tvx1","type":"comment","level":5,"id":"c-Tvx1-2015-08-26T16:02:00.000Z-CtrlXctrlV-2015-08-26T14:47:00.000Z","replies":["c-Tvx1-2015-08-26T16:14:00.000Z-Tvx1-2015-08-26T16:02:00.000Z"],"displayName":"T"}}-->

Yeah, I was just told of the 7 day time limit by the administrator involved. And I also discovered that Indy's 2015 pace car for non Indy 500 event is a Honda Accord! This highlights the difference with F1, where a single purpose-built car is used instead of one for MB to just further promote in their showrooms. I am guessing you'd be opposed to a table in Safety Car?

I think my above reply to TwirlyPen's proposal should be clear. And you know, tools like AFD have a Manual. I looked up the workings of said process myself when I started getting involved in some.

I'd like to point out a flaw in your understanding of safety cars both in Formula One and in List of Indianapolis 500 pace cars, since your discussion with Juliancolton was brought to my attention through a name drop. The current Mercedes-Benz safety cars are not purpose-built machines in that they are standard production models with additional interior elements and electrical systems to allow them to fulfill the task of safety car. They typically do not have any mechnical improvements as they tend to be capable enough to pace the field on their own, although I believe some suspension tweaks are made simply to deal with the added weight of the safety systems. What difference is there between a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Safety Car that makes the listing of the model relevant?

The IndyCar Series pace cars are not covered in any way, shape, or form by List of Indianapolis 500 pace cars. The IndyCar Series, through its various machinations, has never had a singular traveling safety car and has relied almost solely on a variety of cars that vary from race to race based on sponsorship programs. You may have seen a Honda Accord for one race, but I most certainly saw a Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for Pocono just a few days ago. Neither of which are the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 from the Indianapolis 500. I could probably rattle off half a dozen different cars that have served as pace cars in the series the last few years. The only thing that travels with the series is the pace car driver, who is an IndyCar employee akin to Bernd Maylander. This same method also applies to NASCAR, in which the pace car varies from race to race.

As for Indianapolis 500 pace cars themselves, that list exists because unlike Formula One pace cars, many of the Indianapolis 500 pace cars are purpose-built, as in they are generally one-off cars that are not mass-production models. See Pontiac Fiero#1984, the 2008 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 running E85 fuel, the Chevrolet Beretta convertible that was never sold as a convertible, the 1991 Dodge Vipers that were Chrysler's test mules, etc. There is also the fact that the pace cars have unique drivers, meaning there is some correlation to list besides simply makes and models.

In addition to my colleague's comments I would like to add that another reason why the Indianapolis 500 pace car carry more notability than F1 Safety Cars is that pace cars have been an inherent part of the Indy500 all the way back to 1911, whereas safety cars have only been a fixed part of Formula One since the mid-nineties. Before that they were a rare occurrence. You're clearly judging these vehicles' makes notability by how it appears to you with every new race you watch live now and are not taking the entire 69-year history of the sport into account. That's why treating F1 and the Indy500 on par regarding pace/safety cars would be giving undue weight on F1.

Hello gang, thanks for the amusement provided by reading "name drop" and "colleague". It's good to see there's more to Wikipedia behind the scenes and, Tvx1, thanks for the AFD manual. I do not know how you asserted "as you know", but I did not know and do not know as much as you guys obviously do. Thanks The359 for your commentary on what makes Indy 500 cars different. You might have noticed my tune (actually, no tune, I have other things beyond spending time on Wiki) is not entirely reliant on that article, and I guess it will be even less so now. Having said that, I do believe a stand-alone F1 list may not have a place in Safety Car (because it covers other formulae) but it does a stand-alone list provided it does not violate any WP's, as the deleted one didn't. The existence of similar lists is something that I will continue to refer to, and perhaps it's best to continue this talk on the relevant pages, if/when they arise (I'm yet to catch up on my discussion with the deleter). Not that I mind your comments, which I appreciate as long as they are productive and respectful, as the ones above I consider.

Typ932 It's you removing additional and reliable information that is fully referenced, just because you prefer your version. Your LA Auto Show was unreferenced. The engine range is the same, and you may invest your time looking this up (start with Italian news resources); the engine and performance differences are because of different standards (DIN v SAE) and same applies to acceleration (0-100km/h takes longer than 0-60mph). I've added back North American debut only because it is there that the global 2.0 engine was announced. The model name has not being revealed, so you are wrong anyway to list it was a "2.0 MultiAir" (when it actually runs a MultiAir2 system).

The reference for the 2.0 Turbo petrol engine was and is footnote 20 here [3]. It was accidentally lost thanks to your reverts and ended up being associated with the US press release, which has no information. But now there is - I suggest you use Google Translate since I assume you do not speak Italian and even your English is a bit weak, Typ932. No need for me to peruse the Help pages - I suggest you familiarise yourself with the concept of "edit war", but I see on your Talk page that others have complained to you about that in other cases. Your references have not been deleted, except for the completely unnecessary separate engine range for the USA. Again, see above and reference for difference between CE and SAE data. Your full reverts are the ones causing problems and inappropriate. Now there is reference to "CE" and "SAE" and you have no basis to argue to the contrary.

Typ932 look from the Alfa Romeo 75 onwards then, does it need to be changed since they quote the Head designer like I have here? Italian and world media interview and credit Tencone and his team though, as per my additional references. I think what you missed from the Italian article you quote is that (1) it is a small regional publication, definitely not an authoritative automotive publication like Quattroruote that I referenced instead (2) that being the case, it's biased because the tone of the article is all about exaggerating the fact that Senior Designer is from the same region of Italy as the publication. Please WATCH the Quattroruote video if you haven't [4], it's also subtitled in English and consider that the wiki link to designer is not about the individual "exterior designer" but the art of it and teams, making my reference more correct (actually, designer should just read: Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, as is the case on other Alfa articles where they quote the Giugiaro, IDEA, Pininfarina "groups" only). In saying that, this issue isn't a major one, especially leaving the added paragraph in the article, which lists the key Giulia design team members anyway, so do as you please if you feel strongly about it!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Your recent editing history at Alfa Romeo Giulia (952) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thanks NeilN. I accept your warning and trust that the instigator, Typ932, will equally be warned and monitored. I tried, via Talk and Project pages, but that hasn't worked. When I reported the issue (sorry that it was on the wrong noticeboard), I was conscious my many edits could put me under the spotlight. So be it. Those edits were just to close all loops to the senseless reverts and to further enhance the article with additional material and references. By contrast, Typ932 just does a bulk reversion to bring it back to how he prefers it. I look forward to equal treatment.
