List of Formula One fatal accidents[edit]

A bit of a depressing list. But after going through the GP Encyclopedia, I managed to find every driver and referenced it as well. Hopefully everyone else agrees with me.--Skully Collins Edits 12:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Support. I have some minor issues:
    • Remove "In total," from the image caption.
    • ...who have been killed while driving a Formula One car or who have died as a result of a crash while driving a Formula One car after 1950. - This is a list of people who have been killed while driving a Formula One car and who have been killed in a crash while driving a Formula One car? Doen't make much sense. You might also want to remove the "after 1950" in the end of the sentence as this covers all-time Formula One accidents.
    • Remove the link to "Formula One" from the name of the list, the link to "Formula One car" is enough.
    • Notes/references shouldn't be one space ahead of the text per WP:MOS.
    • Format the references section correctly using {{cite web}} and {{cite book}}.
    • Link everything in the list, including Scuderia Finotto and 1971 Brands Hatch Victory Race. If an article is missing, it doesn't mean it should not be linked.
    • ...died in the accident after Pryce, who was unable to avoid him, collided with him at high speed. - Remove "who was unable to avoid him".
    • Bristow died on the 19th lap and Stacey died on the 24th lap after a bird flew into his face and so Stacey lost control of his car. - Replace "and so Stacey lost control of his car" with "which made him lose control over his car". You should explain why Bristow died as well. Michaelas10 (Talk) 15:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done all but one. The Notes/References one: Can you cite the actual part of the WP:MOS or show me an example? Thanks.--Skully Collins Edits 13:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The manual of style gives just a brief example, you can read a lot more about the usage of footnotes here. Michaelas10 (Talk) 14:18, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
