GP2 2015

Hey, do you mind taking a look at the team results table in 2015 GP2 Series season? Whoever added the second Bahrain round to the table removed a lot of markup from the Lazarus entry—markup that was used to align the two team names with one flag icon. I have tried to restore it, but I can't get it to work. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 14:01, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Now it's fixed. Corvus tristis (talk) 15:25, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Formula 3

I'm wondering what the point of that was Corvus tristis. Formula 3/Three was always interchangeable, depending upon the style of the day and individual publications style guides, so changing it really serves no purpose and is not in any way "correct". Remember, we use the common name, not the "official" name, so please don't make any similar changes on other articles. QueenCake (talk) 15:25, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

British Formula 3 Championship not only official name but is also a more common name than British Formula Three Championship. Corvus tristis (talk) 15:34, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Don't altogether agree that either version could be considered more common. QueenCake is correct that the terms are/were pretty much interchangeable. Some edits have produced anomalies with both 'three' and '3' appearing in close proximity which looks unprofessional and the page move is possibly one which should have been discussed before being implemented.

In the terms of Misplaced Pages search, they are not interchangeable. For example, if you write FIA Formula 2 Championship instead of FIA Formula Two Championship, you wouldn't receive a direct link to the article in a tooltip. You are just making the search harder with this name, that was invented by some user. Corvus tristis (talk) 16:10, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

There is now, because I just created it. That's not a reason to favour the number, just fact that whomever created the FIA Formula Two Championship page forget to create the redirect. I don't see any evidence that either is more common - while modern usage may have favoured '3', over the 60-odd year history writing out the number was often preferred. QueenCake (talk) 16:45, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

One & Two are used for the other major formulae and Three is used in the page about the racing class. A change like this is rather against the convention to date and should have discussed beforehand. There is a disc. started here. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 17:04, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

For creating the Formula 3.5 V8 article. Good idea! While it isn't exactly hard-sourced, it's a good way of showing the series continuity while separating it from the WSR. Urbanoc (talk) 17:14, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
