User talk:SSSB
Before posting a message here please consider if this is the correct venue. If you wish to discuss me (SSSB), my edits (read the second paragragh if you have an issue with an edit request I implemented) or you wish to bring my attention to a certain matter, this is the correct venue (there are other cases where this is the correct venue).
However, this is not the correct venue to make edit requests. These requests should be made on the talk page of the page which you would like to be edited, if you request an edit on a page in which I have an interest it will appear on my watchlist, I will see it. If you have a problem with an edit request I implemented, please consider if it might not be better to respond where the edit request was made (you may use {{ping}} or {{u}} to attract my attention). Thank you,

Empty table
[edit]Can you stop removing sources when you make tables empty? Thanks. Island92 (talk) 08:16, 20 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Island92: I'm sorry, I didn't realise that you had changed the sources when you copy and pasted the classification tables over. Of course, it would be much easier if you copy and pasted over blank classification tables (I have copies at User:SSSB/sandbox/Empty classification tables which you are free to use) SSSB (talk) 10:20, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Arbitration
- After a motion, arbitration enforcement page protections no longer need to be logged in the AELOG. A bot now automatically posts protections at WP:AELOG/P. To facilitate this bot, protection summaries must include a link to the relevant CT page (e.g.
[[WP:CT/BLP]]), and you will receive talk page reminders if you forget to specify the contentious topic but otherwise indicate it is an AE action.

2028 f1 season
[edit]You want I delete 2028 f1 season page? Amini1999ad (talk) 17:04, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Amini1999ad: No, I have asked adimistrators to delete the page. Because the article read "2028 Formula One World Championship" which is not a Wikipedia article, but a random sentence. If you can expand it into a proper article, you can do it at Draft:2028 Formula One World Championship (because it is not ready to be an article yet). SSSB (talk) 17:13, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- My goal is to create the 2028 Formula One season page, but I still can't create or edit pages on Wikipedia very well. Amini1999ad (talk) 09:11, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Amini1999ad: Even if you created it perfectly yesterday, it would still have been deleted, because it is WP:TOOSOON. Copy and paste the tables from 2026 Formula One World Championship into the draft page to start, and then remove the information that is not relevant. I can give you a hand with that this afternoon, if you need it. SSSB (talk) 09:51, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- I don't know why you are resisting creating the page sooner and providing information to others. Amini1999ad (talk) 09:56, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Amini1999ad: I'm not "resisting", I am being pragmatic and honest and following Wikipedia's policies. At this time, 2028 Formula One World Championship does not meet the requirements necessary for article creation - specifically WP:SIGCOV is not met at this time. That is just the reality.

DYK for 2023 Formula One World Championship
[edit]
On 5 November 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2023 Formula One World Championship, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Max Verstappen won a record 19 Grands Prix in a season on his way to the 2023 Formula One World Drivers' Championship? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2023 Formula One World Championship. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 2023 Formula One World Championship), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.
