1950 German Grand Prix

Hi DanTickner. I noticed your draft article of 1950 German Grand Prix. This was an article I had eventually planned (or perhaps hoped!) to write, so thanks for writing your draft. The draft was well sourced and well written so I by-passed the AFC review and moved it to mainspace right away (as any editor meeting some fairly minimal editing requirements is entitled to do). In future you don't need to write articles in draftspace if you don't want to, you should be able to just create a new article. If you have any questions and/or concerns please don't hesitate to ask me either here or at my own talk page. Thanks. A7V2 (talk) 00:59, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@A7V2: Thank you very much! I'll keep this in mind for the future. DanTickner (talk) 19:12, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan, with regards to your recent edits, please be aware of MOS:INFOBOXFLAG and WP:INFONAT, as well as the documentation for Template:Infobox person. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Nikkimaria: Hi Nikki, thanks for pointing out that flagicons shouldn't be included and nationality should only be added if it can't be inferred from birth and death locations. I've seen people remove this information from infoboxes before and wasn't sure why, but now I understand the convention. However, for the specific case of racing drivers, it seems a bit contradictory because they almost all have flagicons and nationalities in their infoboxes. Drivers are almost always referred to with nationality in mind, even if it's somewhat obvious (e.g. they were born in the USA and only compete in NASCAR races). I accept your argument but I'm still a little unsure.

The issue might have been flagged because I prefer to use "infobox person", not "infobox F1 driver" or similar, since the former accepts the "relatives" parameter. If I were to add a submodule "infobox F1 driver" (for example), might it be less controversial to include nationality within this instead? Cheers. DanTickner (talk) 02:01, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As far as submodules go, I'm not familiar with that particular one, but some such as {{infobox sportsperson}} use a "country" parameter or similar instead. With the relatives parameter, do also be aware of the template documentation - generally if the relatives aren't notable they shouldn't be included.
