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,

Hungaroring

[edit]

Ask user @DH85868993: for any doubt. There is a certain consistency for all other track. That year refers to the layout used since, as you above (2003-present) read Hungaroring, not Hungarian Grand Prix. The intro of the article tells you since when the race has been held (1986). Island92 (talk) 22:06, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The track image layout displayed has been used since 2003, not 1986. Do you want (1986-present)? You have to remove the circuit image then to report, generally, since when the Hungarian Grand Prix has been held.Island92 (talk) 22:11, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Island92: There is not consistency with all other tracks, because I checked. It's also not relevant, I would be making this argument regardless.
There is nothing in the text to suggest that we are specifically refering to the layout. You say that "That year refers to the layout used since" but that's not what the text says. The text says "Hungaroring (2003-present)". To me, this means that the event has been at the Hungaroring since 2003 to present. What the image is of, doesn't change anything. But, the event has been held at the Hungaroring since 1986. If you wanted it to refer to the layout the text needs to reflect this, the text needs to say "Layout of the Hungaroring (2003-present). SSSB (talk) 22:16, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The event has been held at the Hungaroring since 1986, but not in the layout track displayed currently because if you go to 1986 Hungarian Grand Prix an old layout was used. Where is the sense in there to report 1986-present with the layout used since 2003? Island92 (talk) 22:21, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How many times do I have to repeat this? Are you even reading my responses? The "sense" is that we should be "reporting" the years the track has hosted the Hungarian Grand Prix, because that is what the text says. We should not be reporting they years that the layout has hosted the Grand Prix because that is not what the text says. SSSB (talk) 22:32, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No? See multiple other tracks with the same practice. Island92 (talk) 22:34, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't care. That doesn't make the practice right. But, if you want to go down that route, I can just change "the practice" at all those other tracks. Or point out that there are multiple other tracks that use the practice I think is best. SSSB (talk) 22:37, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, I would wait for DH85868993 response as I once saw him making my same edit and hence I consider him an user with more experience than me for these kind of edits. Island92 (talk) 22:42, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You just admitted to pinging someone because they once made the edit you support. You think you can just make this go away by insisting I wait for your attempt at Wikipedia:Canvassing to come to fruition. SSSB (talk) 23:02, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't work like that here. I find that user edit more logical than your, pending is approval or not basing it on his experience. The whole infobox already says when the first edition took place. See Australian Grand Prix that says Albert Park circuit 2022-present. See Singapore Grand Prix that says Marina Bay Street Circuit that says 2023-present. See Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that says Yas Marina Circuit 2021-present. I always found this practice which did not come from my interpretation of things. Island92 (talk) 05:12, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't work like that here: you cannot just selective ask other editors who you know you agree with you to attempt to bully me into your way of thinking. "The whole infobox already says when the first edition took place." irrelevant. Because the first Hungarian Grand Prix was not 1986. Nor was the first Australian Grand Prix 1996 (which was the first Australian Grand Prix at Melbourne). And I don't care how Australian Grand Prix, Singapore Grand Prix and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix do it because, as I said before, " That doesn't make the practice right. But, if you want to go down that route, I can just change "the practice" at all those other tracks. Or point out that there are multiple other tracks that use the practice I think is best." SSSB (talk) 07:12, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As has been identified above, there is currently a mixture of practices - some articles list the years the race has been held at that circuit, others list the years of the current track layout. Personally it wouldn't worry me if we removed the years altogether, to minimise possible confusion. DH85868993 (talk) 09:35, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there we are @Island92:. As I tried to explain, both are reasonable and both are in use. How do you feel about DH8868993's suggestion to remove the years altoegther? SSSB (talk) 21:16, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, better. Island92 (talk) 21:29, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. I am going to boldly start doing that tomorrow. If I face resistance, I will take it Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Formula One (unless you take either of these actions first) SSSB (talk) 21:32, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time.

WikiProject Formula One

[edit]

I am having issues with that user too and have also faced some bizarre turns in conversation; my view is that they're definitely a troll. - SchroCat (talk) 15:10, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat: I agree. I still haven't been told what my supposed contradiction is. SSSB (talk) 15:14, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure they'll be here for long. Unless they change their approach radically, they'll be blocked soon enough. - SchroCat (talk) 16:03, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Andrea Stella (disambiguation)

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Andrea Stella (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is:

  • a disambiguation page with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" which lists only one extant Wikipedia page (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • a disambiguation page that lists zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" whose target is neither a disambiguation page nor page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 20:26, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you stop removing sources when you make tables empty? Thanks. Island92 (talk) 08:16, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
