Article of the month - 2008 Monaco Grand Prix, new Featured Article
 The 2008 Monaco Grand Prix (formally the LXVI Grand Prix de Monaco) was a Formula One motor race held on May 25, 2008 at the Circuit de Monaco; contested over 76 laps, it was the sixth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race was won by the season's eventual Drivers' Champion, Lewis Hamilton, for the McLaren team. BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica finished second, and Felipe Massa, who started from pole position, was third in a Ferrari. Conditions were wet at the start of the race. Massa maintained his lead into the first corner, but his teammate Kimi Räikkönen was passed for second by Hamilton, who had started in third position on the grid. Hamilton suffered a punctured tyre on lap six, forcing him to make a pit stop from which he re-entered the race in fifth place. As the track dried and his rivals made their own pit stops Hamilton became the race leader, a position he held until the end of the race. Kubica's strategy allowed him to pass Massa during their second pit stops, after the latter's Ferrari was forced to change from wet to dry tyres. Räikkönen dropped back from fifth position to ninth after colliding with Adrian Sutil's Force India late in the race. Sutil had started from 18th on the grid and was in fourth position before the incident, which allowed Red Bull driver Mark Webber to finish fourth, ahead of Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel in fifth. The race was Hamilton's second win of the season, his first in Monaco, and the result meant that he led the Drivers' Championship, seven points ahead of Räikkönen and eight ahead of Massa. Ferrari maintained their lead in the Constructors' Championship, 16 points ahead of McLaren and 17 ahead of BMW Sauber, with 12 races of the season remaining.

Hi Typ932. You may be able to contribute to this discussion - from looking at the article history, I think you were the one who added that statement into the article. Regards. DH85868993 (talk) 09:58, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

cwt
A Hundredweight (pronounced "a hundred weight", for reasons you probably should not wish to understand: I don't) is a pre-metric British unit of measurement. It converts almost precisely to 50kg. No doubt the wiki entry gives the precise formula. But please be a little bit careful about converting it. It was also used to name vans on the UK market. So a "Ford 5 cwt" was a small van able to carry 250 kg. But if you converted its name to Ford 250 kg you'd confuse people and end up with a vehicle name that no one would understand (any better than they would understand it when people (no ... not you) confuse tax horsepower with bhp and "convert" the 2CV of the Citroen 2CV into a bhp number or the "8 hp" of a Morris 8 into bhp).
I hope this provides helpful clarity. Actually I think the Hundredweight entry says it all.

Article of the month - 2008 French Grand Prix, current Good Article nominee.
 The 2008 French Grand Prix (formally the XCIII Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on June 22, 2008 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours, France. It was the eighth race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Felipe Massa for the Ferrari team after starting from second position. Kimi Räikkönen, who started from pole position, finished second in the other Ferrari car; Jarno Trulli was third in a Toyota. Räikkönen and Massa both made a clean start. Renault's Fernando Alonso, who started third, was overtaken by Trulli and BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica. The front three of Räikkönen, Massa and Trulli maintained their positions through the first round of pit stops. On lap 30, Räikkönen led Massa by six and a half seconds, and Trulli by 30 seconds. Just before half distance, Räikkönen's right exhaust pipe broke, which caused the engine to lose power. Massa, in second place, began lapping quicker than Räikkönen, and he caught and passed him on lap 39. Massa maintained his lead through the second round of pit stops, and won the race; Räikkönen finished almost 18 seconds behind. Trulli fended off McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen, who challenged him in the latter stages, to take third. Massa's win promoted him into the lead of the Drivers' Championship for the first time in his career, overtaking Kubica. Kubica was second, two points behind Massa, while Räikkönen was third. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari increased their lead to 17 points ahead of BMW Sauber, McLaren a further 16 points behind in third.

Ford Essex V6 engine (UK)
I´ve seen that you´ve fixed AC ME3000 (it was AC 3000ME before, first the number, than the "ME"), because the article started by user:Charles01 has this title. I think the correct title must be AC 3000ME, because this is the offical name by AC when production and sellings started; my sources are here [3] and the offical sales brochure here [4]. "AC 3-Litre", "AC 3000" and "AC ME 3000" were unofficial and official names only in the prototype/pre-production era (see also AC (manufacturer) page on WP.en, so I think the main-article should me moved. I´ve been in discussion about that with Charles01, see his disc. We hadn´t done it right now, because he´s not totally sure about the most professional way to save the history and I - as a member of the german wp - am not sure how to handle it technically too, because in the german wp we have a simple button at the heading on each page.
What´s your opinion on that and can you handle this? I´m the author of the german wp-article [5]. Kind regards from Germany,--Roland Rattfink (talk) 19:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Fiat 500
Please don't revert my edits. I have already give you the reason why the 500 Jolly and the Special Versions don't belong to the article.
- The Fiat 500 Jolly is not made by Fiat but by Ghia, in fact, the car is called Fiat 500 Ghia. There are hundredes of modified 500 not made by Fiat. Open a new page called "Fiat 500 Ghia" and add link the page if you want, but don't add it the 500 page please.
- I can't understand why you reverted the image: it is some sort of personal attack? The Giardineria image is unusable, the restored 500 has a lot of non-original parts.
The rest is okay, i hope we'll end this useless edit war here.
- The article is called Fiat 500, not Fiat 500 Ghia. The problem are not the "special versions" per se, but the fact that they are not MADE BY FIAT. I own a 500 so i know what i'm talking about. Don't revert my edits if you don't have a good reason to do so, or you'll be reported for edit war.

Article of the month - Brabham BT46, current Good Article, after reassessment.
 The Brabham BT46 was a Formula One racing car, designed by Gordon Murray for the Brabham team, owned by Bernie Ecclestone, for the 1978 Formula One season. The car featured several radical design elements, the most obvious of which was the use of flat panel heat exchangers on the bodywork of the car to replace conventional water and oil radiators. The concept did not work in practice and was removed before the car’s race debut, never to be seen again. The cars, powered by a flat-12 Alfa Romeo engine, raced competitively with modified nose-mounted radiators for most of the year, driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson, winning one race in this form and scoring sufficient points for the team to finish third in the constructors championship. The "B" variant of the car, also known as the "fan car", was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix as a counter to the dominant ground effect Lotus 79. The BT46B generated an immense level of downforce by means of a fan, claimed to be for increased cooling, but which also extracted air from beneath the car. The car only raced once in this configuration in the Formula One World Championship—when Niki Lauda won the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The car was withdrawn before it could race again and the concept was declared illegal by the FIA. The BT46B therefore preserves a 100% winning record.

No attempt at humor - read the cited Newsweek article. Your edit will be reverted to restore the widely cited use. In light of recent events involving Chrysler and Fiat, this is indeed significant. In fact, removing it would be a violation of WP:NPOV. B.Wind (talk) 17:02, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Beware of WP:3RR. B.Wind (talk) 17:04, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not censored. There are many things in Wikipedia that I find personally offensive, and I must deal with them, too. If you are objecting because you find the reference to the acronym offensive, put it in context by writing a section on Fiat's history with its North American cars (covering both the positives and the negatives in an objective way is actually required by WP:NPOV) and the institutional changes in Fiat since then, as I have suggested on my talk page. As this doesn't deal with a redirect, any further discussion should be done on the article's talk page, not RfD. B.Wind (talk) 18:30, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
Just to let you know I have taken Fix it again Tony back to RfD because it should not have been kept. Hopefully this time it gets deleted. G87 (talk) 22:42, 02 December 2009 (UTC)
- Hi there my friend. Just thought i'd let you know some moronic user has decided to take Fix it again Tony issue further by initiating an ANI thread here...ANI. It's seems as though there is some progress there. You may like to discuss. Thanks G87 (talk) 21:49, 05 December 2009 (UTC)
- I have also started a discussion on this under WP:CARS. here Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Automobiles#HELP_-_STOP_Car_Maker_Jokes.21 if you wish to contribute. Thanks. G87 (talk) 22:30, 05 December 2009 (UTC)
May I suggest a break?
Things are getting a beat heated in the discussion. May I suggest a break for all concerned to cool down before an admin starts issuing blocks? My break starts now. My you have a wonderful evening (or morning, depending upon where you live). B.Wind (talk) 19:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 1995 British Grand Prix, currently listed for a Peer Review.
 The 1995 British Grand Prix (formally the XLVIII British Grand Prix) was a Formula One motor race held on July 16, 1995 at Silverstone Circuit, Silverstone, Northamptonshire, England. It was the eighth round of the 1995 Formula One season. The race, contested over 61 laps, was won by Johnny Herbert for the Benetton team after starting from fifth position. Jean Alesi finished second in a Ferrari, with David Coulthard third in a Williams car. Herbert's victory was his first in Formula One, and the Benetton team's fifth of the season. The race was dominated, however, by the fight between championship protagonists Michael Schumacher (Benetton) and Damon Hill (Williams). Hill, who started from pole position, retained his lead during the opening stages of the race whilst Schumacher, who started alongside him on the grid, fell behind Alesi in the run to the first corner. Despite being held up behind the slower Ferrari until it pitted, Schumacher used a more favourable one-stop strategy to move ahead of Hill, who made two pit stops for fuel and tyres, on lap 41. Four laps later, Hill attempted to pass Schumacher, but the two collided and were forced to retire from the race. This promoted the battling Herbert and Coulthard into the fight for the lead. Coulthard passed Herbert, but dropped back to third after incurring a stop-go penalty for speeding in the pit lane.

I just did a general copyedit on the Sprint article - it was quite shockingly badly written. I'd appreciate it if you'd just scan it over and see how it reads to you. I didn't make any fundamental changes, just rewrote some of the very Italian English and deleted a few dubious statements. Dino246 (talk) 21:46, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Tesla Roadster infobox image size
Hi,
Out of interest, is the standard size you made reference to documented anywhere? MOS:IMAGES sets 300px as an upper limit currently, but that's traditionally been the default size for landscape lede images. In this case it actually reduces the height of the infobox because less lines wrap. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:56, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - DAMS GD-01, current Peer Review nominee
The DAMS GD-01 was an unraced Formula One car used by the French motorsport team, Driot-Arnoux Motor Sport (DAMS). The GD-01 was designed and built by a collaboration of DAMS and Reynard engineers from 1994 to 1995, and was intended to establish the team—which had achieved considerable success in lower categories—in Formula One, but a continuing lack of finance meant that the team never entered the championship, despite completing construction of the chassis and conducting some testing.

Reverting bot's edits on Fiat Automobiles
I don't know what you were thinking, but do not revert any bot adding links to the same article in other languages. It is standard operating procedure to link articles of the same subject in all the different Wikipedia languages. Killiondude (talk) 20:18, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- I think these edits were at least made with good intentions whether or not they were correct or not. There are two articles, Fiat and Fiat Automobiles, which are not the same thing. (To say nothing of the sense of fiat as a noun.) I think that it will take some time to sort out which of the interwiki links are correct and which aren't, and in order to get them to stay we will have to go to every single wiki and make the same changes there, which is something I dont have the time right now for. -- Soap Talk/Contributions 20:27, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Those bot adds wrong articles, thats why removed, the wlinks it adds should link to main Fiat page, I explained it already in edit summary I wonder why you didnt see it or understand? --Typ932 T·C 20:22, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- I believe in keeping discussions centralized, so I moved your comment back here. I've clicked on several of the links, in languages I can understand or at least tell what's going on. It looks like some of them are the same article, while some of the languages incorporate both en.wiki's Fiat and Fiat Automobiles include (to varying degrees). Maybe if we can find any language that doesn't cover anything found in Fiat Automobiles at all, we can remove those selectively. Killiondude (talk) 20:30, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yep, Im bit frustrated to those bots, because they dont work so good... I wonder why they dont make difference if those are already linked to main Fiat page, still they add double link to other articles... --Typ932 T·C 20:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm sorry my wording was so harsh originally. I didn't know it was linking to the wrong articles sometimes. The bots just keep the links all the same in all the languages, so if you want it fixed, I think we'll have too take out the links to the enWP article, in those languages' wikis.

Article of the month - Fittipaldi Automotive, current Good Article Review
 Fittipaldi Automotive, sometimes called Copersucar after its first major sponsor, was the only Formula One motor racing team and constructor ever to be based in Brazil. It was formed during 1974 by racing driver Wilson Fittipaldi and his younger brother, double world champion Emerson, with money from the Brazilian sugar and alcohol cooperative Copersucar. In 1976 Emerson surprised the motor racing world by leaving the title-winning McLaren team to drive for the unsuccessful family outfit. Future world champion Keke Rosberg took his first podium finish in Formula One with the team. The team was based in São Paulo, almost 6,000 miles (10,000 km) away from the centre of the world motor racing industry in the UK, before moving to Reading, UK during 1974. It participated in 119 grands prix between 1975 and 1982, entering a total of 156 cars. It achieved 3 podiums and scored 44 championship points.

- What can I say? Sorry, I clicked on the wrong link and moved the wrong page. Stupid me. Still, more redirects would be nice ... should all be fixed now though. Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:04, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Article of the month - 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix, current Peer Review candidate.
 The 2008 Hungarian Grand Prix (formally the XXIII ING Magyar Nagydíj) was a Formula One motor race held on August 3, 2008 at the Hungaroring, Budapest, Hungary. It was the eleventh race of the 2008 Formula One season. The race, contested over 70 laps, was won by Heikki Kovalainen for the McLaren team after starting from second position. Timo Glock finished second in a Toyota car, with Kimi Räikkönen third in a Ferrari. It marked Kovalainen's first Formula One victory, which made him the sport's 100th driver to win a World Championship race, and it was also Glock's first podium finish. Much of the race, however, was dominated by a duel between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa, who drove for McLaren and Ferrari respectively. Hamilton started from pole position on the starting grid but was beaten into the first corner by Massa, who passed him around the outside. The two championship protagonists commenced a battle for the lead that was resolved when Hamilton suffered a puncture just over half-way through the race, giving Massa a comfortable lead. The Ferrari's engine, however, failed with three laps of the race remaining, allowing Kovalainen to take the win.

Article of the month - List of Formula One drivers, kept at Featured List status after review
 Formula One, abbreviated to F1, is the highest class of open-wheeled auto racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), motorsport's world governing body. The "formula" in the name refers to a set of rules to which all participants and cars must conform. The F1 world championship season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held usually on purpose-built circuits, and in a few cases on closed city streets. Drivers are awarded points based on their position in each race, and the driver who accumulates the most points over each calendar year is crowned that year's World Champion. As of the 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, there have been 820 FIA World Championship races since its first event, the 1950 British Grand Prix. Seven-time champion Michael Schumacher holds the record for the most championships, while his 91 wins, 154 podium finishes and 68 pole positions are also records. Rubens Barrichello has entered more Grands Prix than anyone else—288 times in total—as well as having made an unsurpassed 284 race starts. The United Kingdom is the most represented nation, having produced a total of 157 different drivers. Eight nations have been represented by just one. Poland became the latest country to be represented by a driver when Robert Kubica made his Formula One debut at the 2006 Hungarian Grand Prix.
