I am about to sign off for tonight and will check back tomorrow. As of right now, yes, the lead can go into the article. I'll give some more suggestions at the GA review tomorrow. I fixed a few things on User:Nascar1996/bottom. Hope you don't mind :) Airplaneman ✈ Review? 02:38, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, you have two duplicate userboxes on GA's written (the first one says "This user has written or significantly contributed to 3 good articles on Wikipedia." Right under it, another says "This user has written 3 Good Articles on Wikipedia."). Other than that, nothing seems amiss. As for the GA review, if you're adding manufacturer and all, I don't see why sponsors should be omitted. I think background colors for the table headers would be a nice touch. I don't get what you meant here: "I have a question. It is: Do you think the current article is better than mine." Airplaneman ✈ Review? 03:24, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

The burden is on the editor to provide substantiation to include an EL. Until you do this, I see no reason as to why we should include this link. I would discuss the issue on the talk page of the article and find a consensus if you want it to be included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.115.66.194 ( talk) 19:44, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Airplaneman I have a major question to ask. This and this havn't been updated by anyone other than me lately. I was wondering if you would believe that most unused pages in WikiProject NASCAR should be deleted so the project can be recreated. Also, if you havn't noticed, the project has lost about 130 editor since it was created to know, and it only has 25 memebers. I believe this project needs to restart fresh, but I don't know anyone to ask who would delete them so the project can recreate it. We do have to say WikiProject NASCAR has passed its hay day, when articles were being created left and right. I believe NerdyScienceDude and I are really the only big contributers really updating and editing the articles. Of course you are to, but if we weren't here the project would become more like Wikipedia:WikiProject IROC. -- Nascar 1996 Contributions / Guestbook 20:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I've been a little busy lately, but things seem to be getting a little less hectic. Hence, I've not spoken to you as much as I'd like since you very rarely crop up on my watchlist! Anyway, my main reason for dropping in here out of the blue is I was wondering if you'd given any thought to another shot at adminship. If you're interested, I can stalk your edits, logs, deleted edits and other stuff, though I'm pretty sure my stalking will confirm my suspicion that it's about time you tried again. I'd be happy to nominate if you wanted to give it another shot in the near future. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:29, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

![]() Greetings from the Guild of Copy Editors Backlog Elimination Drive! We have now passed the halfway point, so here's an update. Progress Report - Progress toward the targets has been good. 751 articles out of the approximately 1,600 we would like to get completed by the end of the month were done by July 15, so we will be very close to meeting the target for volume. However, we would like to clear all of the 2008 articles from the backlog, and there are still 892 left to do. Please consider choosing one of these older articles when looking for something to copy edit. If we focus our firepower we can completely wipe out 2008 from the queue. Participation Report - 95 people signed up for the July drive. This is a great result compared to May, when we had 36. However, in May only one person that signed up didn't do any copy edits, and in July only 59 of the 95 have posted any copy edits on the big board. The task may seem insurmountable but please remember that if all 95 participants copy edit just one article a day from now until the end of the month, we will eliminate 1,300 more articles from the backlog. So please consider participating at whatever level you can! All contributions are appreciated. This newsletter was prepared for the GOCE by Diannaa ( Talk), S Masters ( talk), and The Raptor Let's talk. |

Hi! When you tag an article for speedy deletion for WP:CSD#A7 (such as *Zeeshan Sabir), could you please use a more specific tag than {{db-a7}}? One of the reasons is that when we come to delete a page, the tag is automatically called up in the reasons for deletion, and a more specific tag makes for a much clearer reason for deletion. These are the more common tags to use: {{db-person}}, {{db-animal}}, {{db-band}}, {{db-club}}, {{db-inc}} and {{db-web}}. Thanks! Stephen! Coming... 19:33, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month –
2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, new
Good Article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill- handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

Could you help me with the tables on the 2010 Brickyard 400 article? I may need to add the references to make it easier.

Hi Airplaneman,
On 29 July 2010, you came to Template:Non-free software screenshot/doc and tampered with the documentation, adding an equal sign that critically changes the meaning and misleads readers.
Please don't do that again. It is critical to understand the template's syntax before changing its documentation. I've reverted your edit.

Hello! I noticed that The Accidental Asian is on your task list to create. I've take the liberty to create the article myself and have gathered a few reviews. Please feel free to help expand the article. There is a bit more material on the article talk page. — Arsonal ( talk + contribs)— 06:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by
Sasata (
submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (
Sasata (
submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by
Casliber (
submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by
Suomi Finland 2009 (
submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from

Article of the month –
2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, new
Good Article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill- handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

I've done all I can from the suggestions listed in the GA review, so before I nominate Warriors (novel series) for GA once more, could you look it over and mention anything I might still need to fix? Bramble claw x 16:29, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Excellent. Bramble claw x 18:46, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
I was just wondering what the average wait time for an Editor Review is, since there are some unreviewed requests that are almost a month old, yet others that are days old and are reviewed? Ronk01 talk, 02:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Could you help me with the tables on the 2010 Brickyard 400 article? I may need to add the references to make it easier. I am completely busy trying to finish the race summary, I'm a little Wikibonked, and I have five days to get ready for vacation again. After vacation I will work on the next race article. I would dearly appreciate your help if you can. Thanks ~ Nascar 1996 Contributions / Guestbook 03:31, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Just wondering - why a subpage? Airplaneman ✈ 04:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Airplaneman,
On 29 July 2010, you came to Template:Non-free software screenshot/doc and tampered with the documentation, adding an equal sign that critically changes the meaning and misleads readers.
Please don't do that again. It is critical to understand the template's syntax before changing its documentation. I've reverted your edit.

Hello! I noticed that The Accidental Asian is on your task list to create. I've take the liberty to create the article myself and have gathered a few reviews. Please feel free to help expand the article. There is a bit more material on the article talk page. — Arsonal ( talk + contribs)— 06:17, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by
Sasata (
submissions) has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants (
Sasata (
submissions),
Sturmvogel_66 (
submissions) and
TonyTheTiger (
submissions)) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by
Casliber (
submissions), who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at
Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the
WikiCup talk page.
Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.
Earlier this round, we said goodbye to
Hunter Kahn (
submissions), who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by
Suomi Finland 2009 (
submissions). We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from
