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,

Use of boldface on driver nationality articles

[edit]

Hi SSSB, I saw that you reverted my edits on Formula One drivers from East Germany and Formula One drivers from Rhodesia for improper use of boldface. I understand why I was reverted since it wasn't proper use within the MOS; however, the following nationality articles all use boldface in the same manner to show former drivers. Should these have boldface removed, or is there another criteria that allows them to be there?

Russia, Switzerland, Sweden, Uruguay, Japan, Denmark, Ireland

Thank you in advance! GalacticVelocity08 (talk) 14:48, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@GalacticVelocity08: as far as I'm concerned, they should be removed. It only exists there to draw emphasis and not only does it look strange it is pointless. It is quite obvious when your reading it that those are the names. SSSB (talk) 21:30, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for being a good editor.

[edit]

Hey man I wanted to thank you for being a good editor, I was somewhat worried we'd enter a editwar (I don't engage anymore, but it doesn't any less frustrating) as I've encountered other... well maybe not so good editors (albeit it was long ago lol).
