CN on 2024–25 Formula E World Championship
[edit]Hi there,
the page https://results.fiaformulae.com/ would be able to fulfill your CN tag on the Formula E page - there is just no way (that I can see) to get links to specific documents, e.g. an event entry list that would confirm rounds entered, car names and entrant names.
If you have an idea how to handle this, let me know! Cheers, Hmnphl (talk) 18:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm, that is frustrating that we can't link to specific documents. Let me look into that. Cerebral726 (talk) 18:58, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
Awesome!
[edit]Dude, that live picture of Cory Wong is mad sexy. What a grab! Panini! • 🥪 06:49, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! That's so kind of you to say! Cerebral726 (talk) 15:34, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello, @Cerebral726! On 3 January 2023 you flagged this article as being closely paraphrased. It has 75 sources. Would you please let me know which one(s) are problematic? Then I'll happily resolve the issue. Oona Wikiwalker (talk) 20:17, 7 August 2025 (UTC)
- Used Earwigs copyvio detector and couldn't find anything, so we're probably good to just remove that tag. Should have been more specific when I added, apologies. Cerebral726 (talk) 20:28, 7 August 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Even though I have been convinced by the justification you made in the edit, and as such I won't try to revert it, I must point out that the 2nd place round took up nearly half of the whole game, and 2 and a half episodes of the season. I would say that counts as pretty darn prominent.
But then it is true that Mengeringhausen hardly shows up in the show at all, it isn't even namedropped in the video itself. That alone convinced me to accept your edit. But I hope you see where I'm coming from disputing the other part of your argument even though I agree with the conclusion. Cascadiawank (talk) 16:23, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
- While it is important (and the length and depth of the prose summary reflects that), it isn't as critical as was previously represented by the photo prominance and caption length. Cerebral726 (talk) 16:34, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
