Calendar

So, I think the current calendar table is not very good. First of all, there's no reason to have one event in two rows. The empty flagicon template is also a bit odd. Also the surface shouldn't be bolded. Here's my version: (all the info may not be correct yet!)

Round	Rally name	Base	Surface	Dates	WRC2	WRC3	JWRC
1	81e Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo	Valence, Rhône-Alpes	Mixed (Asphalt, snow)	16–19 January	Round 1	Round 1
2	61st Rally Sweden	Hagfors, Värmland	Snow	7–10 February
3	26º Rally Guanajuato México	León, Guanajuato	Gravel	8–10 March
4	47º Vodafone Rally de Portugal	Faro, Algarve	Gravel	10–12 April
5	33º Philips Rally Argentina	Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba	Gravel	3–5 May
6	59th Acropolis Rally	Loutraki, Corinthia	Gravel	31 May–2 June
7	10º Rally d'Italia Sardegna	Olbia, Gallura	Gravel	21–23 June
8	63rd Neste Oil Rally Finland	Jyväskylä, Keski-Suomi	Gravel	2–4 August
9	31. ADAC Rallye Deutschland	Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate	Asphalt	23–25 August
10	22nd Rally Australia	Coffs Harbour, New South Wales	Gravel	13–15 September
11	Rallye de France – Alsace 2013	Strasbourg, Alsace	Asphalt	4–6 October
12	49º Rally RACC Catalunya – Costa Daurada	Salou, Tarragona	Mixed (Asphalt, gravel)	25–27 October
13	69th Wales Rally GB	Cardiff, South Glamorgan	Gravel	15–17 November

Yes, it includes the flags of Sardinia, Catalonia and Wales (all autonomous places) to get a better idea where the rally is actually located.

For me, its ok. But We should wait 'till the final supporting calendar its defined. MNSZ (talk) 02:42, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm not a fan of the WRC2, 3 and J columns, largely because they'll have blank fields, which never looks good.

The reason why the calendar is spread across two rows is so that the support events can be fit into a single cell when they are added. It was felt that having individual columns for each put too much focus on the support categories, and that putting them next to each other (instead of aligning them vertically) skewed the table too much. As for the blank flagicon template, it appears that it is being used as a crude indent. Prisonermonkeys (talk)

I think you're right about the support categories, we can actually not include them at all in the main calendar. Instead we could reorder the whole page. First we have all info for the whole championship (calendar, changes, entries, standings etc.) and at the bottom of the page we have all the info for the support categories, first WRC2 (calendar, entries, standings) then WRC3 (with same stuff) and finally JWRC (with same stuff). Like in MotoGP page. Anti-lag (talk) 10:36, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

To divide the calendar into the diferent sections, will be repetitive. One Calendar it's ok. I like the columns for supporting category becouse shows what round is for the supporting category, but it isn't really important. Besides that, the table fells more organized that the actual one (even without the support columns). MNSZ (talk) 14:01, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Removal of drivers from table

In the aftermath of Ford's withdrawal from the WRC, someone insists on removing Ott Tanak from the M-Sport entry on the driver table. I have explained to this person several times that they need sources to support this, and yet they have repeatedly ignored me.

The source supplied makes it clear that Tanak has a contract to drive for M-Sport in 2013. In the absence of any source contradicting this, this is what we have to include in the article. Please do not remove it until you can find an alternate source.

To the person who is removing this content from the article, if you continue to do so despite being told that you need sources, it will be considered vandalism and your edits will be reverted on sight. You may even be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 21:42, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
