I have added reliable references to the Valley Fair Shopping Center article, updated its present condition and use, removed and replaced broken links, and added more pictures. Ever since I found out this article exists, I've been very interested in it and have been researching the mall. I have also added some external links to the page, some of them are kind of interesting. Anyways, this is what I want to ask you; are there enough reliable references now to remove the template at the top of the article? Thanks 1014cd ( talk) 22:40, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Replying to your questions at my Talk, regarding changes in your edits to the Brown County, Wisconsin NRHP list-article.
About county and state and national tallies, u don't need to sweat those. If you actually have corrections to make, just make them at the lowest level, and others (maybe mostly Sanfranman59, will sweep them up into correct state and nation totals.
But, the website u are apparently thinking is official is not. That is what i refer to as "NRHP.COM", short for www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com, which is a private website that copies the public domain NRIS database. However, it is not accurate in several ways, one being that its programmer does not pay attention to the listing status code in NRIS data. The East Moravian Church and Kaap's Restaurants you added are in fact correctly not shown in our main list, because they were delisted: theirs status code is "RN", which means "REMOVED FROM NATIONAL REGISTER", probably on the date that NRHP.COM reports erroneously that they were listed. They could be put into a table of formerly listed properties below. You can find this out using Elkman's generator by searching on their name with the widest search option set by checking in a box at "Search for properties that have been delisted?" set. That really means to show properties of any status, as well as listed status. A short table of the meaning of the various listing codes is given far down within wp:NRHPhelp.
The North Michigan Street one shows in Elkman's under regular searching. I note it is reported listed on July 19, 2007. Randall Avenue HD shows as listed on April 24, 2007 in Elkman's. I wonder if NRHP.COM has not updated since then? But that doesn't make sense. I would simply believe Elkman's and disbelieve NRHP.COM, whose programmer does not ever get feedback and never improves their system.
The South Broadway Historic District, however, does not show in Elkman's at all though. Ah, but it was just listed on January 21, 2010, so it would not. And same for the Main Avenue Historic District, listed in February 2010. Elkman's and NRHP.COM both are using the March 13, 2009 version of NRIS, the last downloadable until the new version that was just released. The January 21, 2010 entry was added by Sanfranman59 or others as part of their weekly updating using the new weekly listing announcements.
So, the good news is that the Brown County list-article is not wildly inaccurate. I think we (mostly others than me now) do a pretty good job of staying synched with what NRIS actually shows. :) I do think that some kind of auditing of randomly chosen counties, using the newly available NRIS database update, would be a good idea though Maybe a version of the new NRHP batch-generator-of-articles could be tweaked to provide more of an auditing type comparison for any given county, rather than focusing on providing new article drafts, and it could provide assistance in adding tables of delisted properties which i like to include, but are so far optional in our practice. Hope this helps! Glad u are getting more into the details. -- doncram ( talk) 04:14, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Henry S. Baird and Baird Law Office are on the main page now as the lead DYK, with your nice pic. I got credit, thot i had put in credit for u too. If u didn't specifically edit/ask to be removed, i'm gonna return with a DYK notice for u too. Thanks for the great pic. I think think the hook was chosen for the lead, and the pic was kept in the DYK, because the hook did relate the person to what u see in the pic of the building. Too many times i have done a DYK for a building and seen the pic get dropped. Here, it worked. :) Cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 01:26, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! The AlexBot new articles has not been working since before Christmas. Therefore, I have no idea hoow many new articles involving Wisconsin and Milwaukee were started. The Catalyst started articles about unincorporated communities in Wisconsin. Fortunately, I am able to follow that with the edits to the county templates. The same also with new articles about the Kohler Family of Wisconsin and the Kohler Strikes. I think this bot needs an adjustment. Many thanks- RFD ( talk) 15:09, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello, do you remember when we discussed cameras? Well over Christmas I received a Nikon Coolpix L110. Do you believe that this wluld be a good camera to take shots of NASCAR related pictures?

With the first of what I hope will be monthly newsletters I again want to welcome you to the project and hope that as we all work together through the year we can expand the project, create missing articles and generally improve the pedia thought mutual cooperation and support. Now that we have a project and a solid pool of willing members I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and solicite help in doing a few things that I believe is a good next step in solidifiing the project. I have outlined a few suggestions where you can help with on the projects talk page. This includes but is not limited too updating Portal:United States, assessing the remaining US related articles that haven't been assessed, eliminating the Unrefernced BLP's and others. If you have other suggestions or are interested in doing other things feel free. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions were additional help is needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or suggestions or you can always post something on the projects talk page. If you do not want to recieve a monthly message please put an * before your name on the members page.-- Kumioko ( talk) 04:53, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Basically what it boiled down to was that a lot of the edits I enjoyed doing ended up not falling under the Manual of Style. The List of NASCAR teams for instance lost the colors and flags that I worked hard on because of the MOS. And it wasn't just NASCAR pages, it was other ones as well. I'm sure it'd be possible for me to try and get that kind of thinking reversed, but I simply don't have the time or the patience to fight The Man over something that's been around longer than I have at the moment. I'm doing well in my post-wiki world, so maybe it's all for the best.
Thank you for your help.-- D-Day ( talk) 12:33, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
I would like to add the Gatorade Duels in the qualifying section, but there would be too many results tables. So to minimize space, is there such thing as a table that could show the first five results and than the rest be hidden? Lets say you press a button and it shows the rest of the resutls? Thanks.

2010 Ford 400
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Edwards, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the fourth lap, Edwards became the leader of the race. Hamlin, the points leader, before the race, spun sideways early in the race, resulting with damage to his splitter. Afterward on lap 73, Martin Truex, Jr. became the leader, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, after leading 192 laps. There were ten cautions and 25 lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Edwards' second win in the 2010 season, with the other being only one week earlier during the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner, Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship, and Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television.

Do you remember the earlier talk about the article, when I accidently changed the class to GA when it was a C-class article. I have just completely reworded and reformatted the article from top to bottom, and added better references. I was influenced to do so after seeing this. I'm wondering if the article is now good enough for B-class. If you can, could you give me some feedback on how the article is? Thanks. Nascar 1996 16:07, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't really understand it. Almost all types of stock car racing around the world is partnered with NASCAR, it is also in Canada, as well as Mexico and Australia. Then other countries watch NSCS races all the time. If you reviewed the link that helped influence me to work on Johnson's article, there are some users, who did "I just don't like it" on there.

Hi Royalbroil, since you are an admin on Commons I had a question for you, if you don't mind. I have been in email contact with Roger Ebert to see if he would license some more of his photos for use on Wikipedia (he posts a lot of his personal photos which he has taken of celebrities on his Facebook page). Mr. Ebert is an occasional editor here (as Rebert) and uploaded several photos under free licenses that are now on Commons. He replied that he would license his images if he thought he would get photo credits for them (attribution). I was wondering if the files could be renamed so that the file names included "by Roger Ebert" (as is already the case for File:Russ Meyer by Roger Ebert.jpg).
The other files would be File:O'TooleEbertPatrik.jpg (which contains a spelling error, it is "Patric") and its derivatives File:Roger Ebert.jpg, File:Peterotoole.jpg, File:JasonPatric.jpg, and File:Jason Patric.JPG, as well as File:Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert.jpg and its derivatives File:Russ meyer.jpg and File:Roger Ebert (extract).jpg.
I plan to also add a category "Photographs by Roger Ebert" and clearer attribution to these images, and plan to try adding credit to the photo captions on the English Wikipedia too. The idea is that I could then go back to Mr. Ebert and tell him how the images he already uploaded are being used in way that identifies him as the author, and hope that he then releases some more of his images under a free license.
So long story short, would you be able to help with this plan by renaming the files on Commons? Any ideas on the plan would also be welcome. Thanks in advcance for any help or advice, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 05:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much - I will add the categories and spell out his name in the file descriptions over the weekend. Hope this works,

Hi Again Royalbroil, Acdixon left this on my talk page. Could you please move File:Charles Augustus Murray.jpg to something like File:J. Proctor Knott? I will fix the file description and its use on the German WIkipedia. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:58, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your help with the image of J. Proctor Knott. I also noticed a category with a typo. Could you please rename the Commons category "Peoople from Harrison County, Kentucky" to "People from Harrison County, Kentucky"? If this is something I could do myself, let me know how. I just started doing significant work at Commons last week. Thanks! Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 14:37, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Royalbroil, I'm not a big fan of the new NASCAR driver page format. On Trevor Bayne's page, there are alot of repeats of information, such as him being born in Knoxville Tennessee and how he started out in go-karts, won some awards, joined up with MWR, won the Daytona 500 etc. Alof of the sections aren't well filled in also. I was hoping to fix that because it looks kinda sloppy from my perspective. Also, the issue of transitioning from the use of # to number just looks weird to me. I'd much prefer to have it be No. for the article itself throughout. I hope this is making sense to you :|
Btw, how many other editors are checking up on and updating the NASCAR portion of wikipedia? Gaeaman787 ( talk) 04:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Well I'm here to help! My issue on Bayne's article is that the one heading that is supposed to be about his early and personal life only contains two sentences. Though I am surprised that there are such a low amount of fans editing the NASCAR sections. I'll keep updating on sponsorship changes in the series via Jayski. Also, has anyone figured out who the crew chief for the #41 Rick Ware Racing Ford is? Because it's definitely not Doug Richert. Gaeaman787 ( talk) 02:30, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Not sure if this is where to put it, but the reason I put the link to the Team VLR site up in the Dirt Track Racing 2 article is because there were two other links to other sites in the same section. Those links had been there for almost three years, and both sites on their are no longer in existence. I simply updated it to put the VLR site on there in place of it since it is still going and updated daily. If it wasn't OK for it to be listed on there, then the other two web sites shouldn't have been either, but they were on there for a long time. I was simply trying to bring the article more up to date. Sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.116.6.10 ( talk) 23:47, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

2010 Ford 400, a new
Good Article
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap of the race. Edwards started in the second position on the grid, and became the leader of the race on the fourth lap. Shortly after a restart on lap 22, championship leader Denny Hamlin spun sideways, resulting with damage to his splitter.

Hi Royalbroil, Thanks for working on April Fools again this year. I have a request, could you move the talk pages for each AF department to the pages they are supposed to be? right now they all redirect to the 2010 AF suggestions talks.

You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000.

Hey RB, how you doing these days? Been ages my friend, hope life is treating you well. Hey, I was cleaning out some of my user space, and noticed [2]. If you wanna move that out to article space, I have no objections. Hopefully during the coming weeks I'll be able to get some clean-up work done on it, links, expand, results, etc., but it doesn't have to sit in my area to do that. Still getting caught up on all the changes around here, but looks like much of it has not changed. (other than the names, and what to argue about .. lol) Anyway, hope you are well, and hope to chat soon. — Ched : ? 05:48, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
also have a 1969 one, but I haven't checked to see if there is one for that, or if it's also just a redirect. But, it's nowhere near ready yet. — Ched : ? 05:54, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Royal! I thought that you approved the DYK hook for April Fools' Day (per AGF for some material), but you didn't move it to approved. May I address any outstanding issues, or should another editor move it? Thanks! Kiefer.Wolfowitz ( Discussion) 23:04, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey RB, thanks for the help/work on the '57 article. I'm thinking of moving it out sometime next week, but hope to do a DYK for it. (not sure which hook yet). The reason I'd like to get the DYK is that it's the year I was born. (yea, pretty stupid reason, but there were a few rather notable things that year). I also started the 1954 one, and might push it out this weekend. Don't see much there for a DYK (other than Lee Petty's first championship) so probably won't nom it for DYK ... but what do you think? Also have 1969 just barely started too - but just barely. I'm going to try to get the rest of the years too that are now just redirects over the coming weeks/months: 1954 (working), 1956, 1958 (working) (not sure about DYK yet), 1959, 1960, 1962, 1964, 1967, 1968, and the '69 one. If you have any thoughts or ideas, let me know. Cheers and best buddy. :-) — Ched : ? 11:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
I've been looking through some articles about Crandon, Forest County, and some related topics and I see you have contributed quite a bit to all of those articles. I also noticed you're the author of some of the images of Crandon. Are you from around here? I grew up in Crandon and my parents still live there. I've been either in Madison or Wausau the last two years for school but I'm there pretty much every weekend and all summer long. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out any related articles (editing, images, etc...). I would like to get more involved in Wikipedia but as of right now I'm completely new to all of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smithaustin2009 ( talk • contribs) 06:59, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

2011 Budweiser Shootout, a new
Good article
The 2011 Budweiser Shootout was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on February 12, 2011 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kurt Busch for the Penske Racing team. Jamie McMurray finished second, and Ryan Newman clinched third. Pole position driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. maintained his lead through the first corner, but Clint Bowyer, who started seventh on the grid, led the first lap. On the 25th lap, the first caution was given, as Jeff Burton became the leader. During the caution all the teams made a pit stop . Two laps later, an accident involving several racecars prompted the second caution to be given. On lap 63, Newman became the leader. He maintained the lead until the final lap, when Denny Hamlin passed him below the yellow line (out of bounds line), as Busch passed him on the other side. Hamlin passed Newman below the yellow line giving the win to Kurt Busch. There were four cautions and 28 lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Busch's first win in the 2011 season, as well as his first win at a track that uses restrictor plates, such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. A total of 80,000 people attended the race, while 7.8 million watched it on television.

Hi-I started some articles on some unincorporated communities in Wisconsin. I used the US Geological Service citation. One or 2 editors do not like the Hometown Locator-a little spammy. However, the GNIS citation also has reference to the Hometown Locator. I notice you have photos concerning Hayton, Wisconsin so I started the article. Anome's bot puts in the coordinations for the various articles involving geography so I am not too concern about that. I had been doing articles on the various members of the Wisconsin Legislature and other public officials and am getting a little burnt out so I am going back to the unincorporated communities in Wisconsin. I hope you are doing-Thanks again- RFD ( talk) 22:33, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

The 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 27, 2011 at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Contested over 312 laps, it was the second race of the 2011 season. The race was won by Jeff Gordon for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kyle Busch finished second, and Jimmie Johnson clinched third. Pole position driver Carl Edwards maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Kurt Busch, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the 29th lap, the first caution was given because of debris. Forty-eight laps later, a multiple car accident occurred, which involved 13 drivers. Afterward, several lead changes, and four more cautions occurred. With nine laps remaining, Gordon passed Kyle Busch for the first position. Gordon maintained the lead to win his first race of the season, and his first in more than 60 races. There were eight cautions and 29 lead changes among 12 different drivers throughout the course of the race, Gordon's first win of the season. The result moved Gordon to the sixth position in the Drivers' Championship. He remained 15 points behind first place driver Kyle Busch and one ahead of Bobby Labonte in seventh.

To any NASCAR related administrators,
I need you to ban a certain anonymous user's IP address. It is 97.83.123.13 He keeps making false changes to the Sprint Cup Limited Schedule section of drivers, claiming that HP is running the #55, with Family Dollar and "Transformers 3, Turner Motorsrpots is running in the Cup Series (which they're not). The problem with the user is that he keeps making so many tiny edits that it's impossible to fully undo all of the damage he's done. Please respond to this ASAP, as I personally fear that this user will end up causing more damage to the Sprint Cup pages Gaeaman787 ( talk) 14:29, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, a
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.

Tim Richmond, a
good article
Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 - August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was the first driver to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons. Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which had been weakened by AIDS. The disease would drastically shorten his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance. Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a debauched lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in the sport of racing, Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick.

Some drivers who have raced for more than 10 seasons are getting extremely long "Cup Series career" sections. Should we make a new Article and separate the complete race by race commentary into another article? For example, should I split Jeff Gordon into Jeff Gordon Cup Series career? User:Nascar1996 referred me here. WP:SIZEGUIDE would say to split the article, but in the real world, should we split the article? Thanks.-- intelati talk 21:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi-Apparently someone from Marian University put a deletion templete on the Marian University article-the university is in Fond du Lac. I took the templete off on grounds of possible censorship by the university and suggested this be taken to the article's talk page-thanks- RFD ( talk) 00:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC) PS-I dislike WikiDrama!
Greetings Royalbroil :). I thought I should take a moment to acknowledge receipt of the message you've left on my talk page, which truly comes as a bit of an unexpected shock to me. Assuming that you're in no major rush for an immediate reply, I hope you don't mind if I take a couple of days to carefully think this over and get back to you with a decent reply that's well thought through. My apologies are in order if hesitation like this annoys you, so I'll do my best to not keep you waiting too long. Have yourself a great day Royalbroil, catch you soon. :) -- WikHead ( talk) 15:44, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

2010 AAA 400, a
good article
The 2010 AAA 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 26, 2010 at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware. The 400 lap race was the twenty-eighth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the second race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, of the Hendrick Motorsports team. Jeff Burton finished second, and Joey Logano, who started nineteenth, clinched third. Pole position driver Jimmie Johnson maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as A. J. Allmendinger, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. Fourteen laps later Allmendinger became the leader of the race. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Clint Bowyer, and Tony Stewart were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Afterward, Johnson became the leader of the race, once Allmendinger pitted because of a loose wheel. Johnson maintained the first position to lead the most laps of 191, and to win his sixth race of the season. There were four cautions and eighteen lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Jimmie Johnson's sixth win in the 2010 season, and the fifty-third of his career. The result moved Johnson up to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Denny Hamlin and ten ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-five ahead of Toyota and eighty ahead of Ford, with eight races remaining in the season. A total of 88,000 people attended the race, while 3.966 million watched it on television.

I have added reliable references to the Valley Fair Shopping Center article, updated its present condition and use, removed and replaced broken links, and added more pictures. Ever since I found out this article exists, I've been very interested in it and have been researching the mall. I have also added some external links to the page, some of them are kind of interesting. Anyways, this is what I want to ask you; are there enough reliable references now to remove the template at the top of the article? Thanks 1014cd ( talk) 22:40, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
Replying to your questions at my Talk, regarding changes in your edits to the Brown County, Wisconsin NRHP list-article.
About county and state and national tallies, u don't need to sweat those. If you actually have corrections to make, just make them at the lowest level, and others (maybe mostly Sanfranman59, will sweep them up into correct state and nation totals.
But, the website u are apparently thinking is official is not. That is what i refer to as "NRHP.COM", short for www.nationalregisterofhistoricplaces.com, which is a private website that copies the public domain NRIS database. However, it is not accurate in several ways, one being that its programmer does not pay attention to the listing status code in NRIS data. The East Moravian Church and Kaap's Restaurants you added are in fact correctly not shown in our main list, because they were delisted: theirs status code is "RN", which means "REMOVED FROM NATIONAL REGISTER", probably on the date that NRHP.COM reports erroneously that they were listed. They could be put into a table of formerly listed properties below. You can find this out using Elkman's generator by searching on their name with the widest search option set by checking in a box at "Search for properties that have been delisted?" set. That really means to show properties of any status, as well as listed status. A short table of the meaning of the various listing codes is given far down within wp:NRHPhelp.
The North Michigan Street one shows in Elkman's under regular searching. I note it is reported listed on July 19, 2007. Randall Avenue HD shows as listed on April 24, 2007 in Elkman's. I wonder if NRHP.COM has not updated since then? But that doesn't make sense. I would simply believe Elkman's and disbelieve NRHP.COM, whose programmer does not ever get feedback and never improves their system.
The South Broadway Historic District, however, does not show in Elkman's at all though. Ah, but it was just listed on January 21, 2010, so it would not. And same for the Main Avenue Historic District, listed in February 2010. Elkman's and NRHP.COM both are using the March 13, 2009 version of NRIS, the last downloadable until the new version that was just released. The January 21, 2010 entry was added by Sanfranman59 or others as part of their weekly updating using the new weekly listing announcements.
So, the good news is that the Brown County list-article is not wildly inaccurate. I think we (mostly others than me now) do a pretty good job of staying synched with what NRIS actually shows. :) I do think that some kind of auditing of randomly chosen counties, using the newly available NRIS database update, would be a good idea though Maybe a version of the new NRHP batch-generator-of-articles could be tweaked to provide more of an auditing type comparison for any given county, rather than focusing on providing new article drafts, and it could provide assistance in adding tables of delisted properties which i like to include, but are so far optional in our practice. Hope this helps! Glad u are getting more into the details. -- doncram ( talk) 04:14, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
Henry S. Baird and Baird Law Office are on the main page now as the lead DYK, with your nice pic. I got credit, thot i had put in credit for u too. If u didn't specifically edit/ask to be removed, i'm gonna return with a DYK notice for u too. Thanks for the great pic. I think think the hook was chosen for the lead, and the pic was kept in the DYK, because the hook did relate the person to what u see in the pic of the building. Too many times i have done a DYK for a building and seen the pic get dropped. Here, it worked. :) Cheers, -- Doncram ( talk) 01:26, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! The AlexBot new articles has not been working since before Christmas. Therefore, I have no idea hoow many new articles involving Wisconsin and Milwaukee were started. The Catalyst started articles about unincorporated communities in Wisconsin. Fortunately, I am able to follow that with the edits to the county templates. The same also with new articles about the Kohler Family of Wisconsin and the Kohler Strikes. I think this bot needs an adjustment. Many thanks- RFD ( talk) 15:09, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

With the first of what I hope will be monthly newsletters I again want to welcome you to the project and hope that as we all work together through the year we can expand the project, create missing articles and generally improve the pedia thought mutual cooperation and support. Now that we have a project and a solid pool of willing members I wanted to strike while the iron is hot and solicite help in doing a few things that I believe is a good next step in solidifiing the project. I have outlined a few suggestions where you can help with on the projects talk page. This includes but is not limited too updating Portal:United States, assessing the remaining US related articles that haven't been assessed, eliminating the Unrefernced BLP's and others. If you have other suggestions or are interested in doing other things feel free. I just wanted to offer a few suggestions were additional help is needed. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or suggestions or you can always post something on the projects talk page. If you do not want to recieve a monthly message please put an * before your name on the members page.-- Kumioko ( talk) 04:53, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Basically what it boiled down to was that a lot of the edits I enjoyed doing ended up not falling under the Manual of Style. The List of NASCAR teams for instance lost the colors and flags that I worked hard on because of the MOS. And it wasn't just NASCAR pages, it was other ones as well. I'm sure it'd be possible for me to try and get that kind of thinking reversed, but I simply don't have the time or the patience to fight The Man over something that's been around longer than I have at the moment. I'm doing well in my post-wiki world, so maybe it's all for the best.
Thank you for your help.-- D-Day ( talk) 12:33, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
I would like to add the Gatorade Duels in the qualifying section, but there would be too many results tables. So to minimize space, is there such thing as a table that could show the first five results and than the rest be hidden? Lets say you press a button and it shows the rest of the resutls? Thanks.

2010 Ford 400
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Edwards, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the fourth lap, Edwards became the leader of the race. Hamlin, the points leader, before the race, spun sideways early in the race, resulting with damage to his splitter. Afterward on lap 73, Martin Truex, Jr. became the leader, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, after leading 192 laps. There were ten cautions and 25 lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Edwards' second win in the 2010 season, with the other being only one week earlier during the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner, Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship, and Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television.

Do you remember the earlier talk about the article, when I accidently changed the class to GA when it was a C-class article. I have just completely reworded and reformatted the article from top to bottom, and added better references. I was influenced to do so after seeing this. I'm wondering if the article is now good enough for B-class. If you can, could you give me some feedback on how the article is? Thanks. Nascar 1996 16:07, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't really understand it. Almost all types of stock car racing around the world is partnered with NASCAR, it is also in Canada, as well as Mexico and Australia. Then other countries watch NSCS races all the time. If you reviewed the link that helped influence me to work on Johnson's article, there are some users, who did "I just don't like it" on there.

Hi Royalbroil, since you are an admin on Commons I had a question for you, if you don't mind. I have been in email contact with Roger Ebert to see if he would license some more of his photos for use on Wikipedia (he posts a lot of his personal photos which he has taken of celebrities on his Facebook page). Mr. Ebert is an occasional editor here (as Rebert) and uploaded several photos under free licenses that are now on Commons. He replied that he would license his images if he thought he would get photo credits for them (attribution). I was wondering if the files could be renamed so that the file names included "by Roger Ebert" (as is already the case for File:Russ Meyer by Roger Ebert.jpg).
The other files would be File:O'TooleEbertPatrik.jpg (which contains a spelling error, it is "Patric") and its derivatives File:Roger Ebert.jpg, File:Peterotoole.jpg, File:JasonPatric.jpg, and File:Jason Patric.JPG, as well as File:Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert.jpg and its derivatives File:Russ meyer.jpg and File:Roger Ebert (extract).jpg.
I plan to also add a category "Photographs by Roger Ebert" and clearer attribution to these images, and plan to try adding credit to the photo captions on the English Wikipedia too. The idea is that I could then go back to Mr. Ebert and tell him how the images he already uploaded are being used in way that identifies him as the author, and hope that he then releases some more of his images under a free license.
So long story short, would you be able to help with this plan by renaming the files on Commons? Any ideas on the plan would also be welcome. Thanks in advcance for any help or advice, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 05:14, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks so much - I will add the categories and spell out his name in the file descriptions over the weekend. Hope this works,

Thanks for your help with the image of J. Proctor Knott. I also noticed a category with a typo. Could you please rename the Commons category "Peoople from Harrison County, Kentucky" to "People from Harrison County, Kentucky"? If this is something I could do myself, let me know how. I just started doing significant work at Commons last week. Thanks! Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 14:37, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Royalbroil, I'm not a big fan of the new NASCAR driver page format. On Trevor Bayne's page, there are alot of repeats of information, such as him being born in Knoxville Tennessee and how he started out in go-karts, won some awards, joined up with MWR, won the Daytona 500 etc. Alof of the sections aren't well filled in also. I was hoping to fix that because it looks kinda sloppy from my perspective. Also, the issue of transitioning from the use of # to number just looks weird to me. I'd much prefer to have it be No. for the article itself throughout. I hope this is making sense to you :|
Btw, how many other editors are checking up on and updating the NASCAR portion of wikipedia? Gaeaman787 ( talk) 04:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
Well I'm here to help! My issue on Bayne's article is that the one heading that is supposed to be about his early and personal life only contains two sentences. Though I am surprised that there are such a low amount of fans editing the NASCAR sections. I'll keep updating on sponsorship changes in the series via Jayski. Also, has anyone figured out who the crew chief for the #41 Rick Ware Racing Ford is? Because it's definitely not Doug Richert. Gaeaman787 ( talk) 02:30, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Not sure if this is where to put it, but the reason I put the link to the Team VLR site up in the Dirt Track Racing 2 article is because there were two other links to other sites in the same section. Those links had been there for almost three years, and both sites on their are no longer in existence. I simply updated it to put the VLR site on there in place of it since it is still going and updated daily. If it wasn't OK for it to be listed on there, then the other two web sites shouldn't have been either, but they were on there for a long time. I was simply trying to bring the article more up to date. Sorry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.116.6.10 ( talk) 23:47, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

2010 Ford 400, a new
Good Article
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap of the race. Edwards started in the second position on the grid, and became the leader of the race on the fourth lap. Shortly after a restart on lap 22, championship leader Denny Hamlin spun sideways, resulting with damage to his splitter. Martin Truex, Jr. took the lead on lap 73, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, having led it for 192 laps. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television. There were ten cautions in the race, as well as twenty-five lead changes among nine different drivers. Edwards' victory was his second win in the 2010 season, with the first coming the previous week at the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship. Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota.

Hey RB, how you doing these days? Been ages my friend, hope life is treating you well. Hey, I was cleaning out some of my user space, and noticed [2]. If you wanna move that out to article space, I have no objections. Hopefully during the coming weeks I'll be able to get some clean-up work done on it, links, expand, results, etc., but it doesn't have to sit in my area to do that. Still getting caught up on all the changes around here, but looks like much of it has not changed. (other than the names, and what to argue about .. lol) Anyway, hope you are well, and hope to chat soon. — Ched : ? 05:48, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
also have a 1969 one, but I haven't checked to see if there is one for that, or if it's also just a redirect. But, it's nowhere near ready yet. — Ched : ? 05:54, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Royal! I thought that you approved the DYK hook for April Fools' Day (per AGF for some material), but you didn't move it to approved. May I address any outstanding issues, or should another editor move it? Thanks! Kiefer.Wolfowitz ( Discussion) 23:04, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
Hey RB, thanks for the help/work on the '57 article. I'm thinking of moving it out sometime next week, but hope to do a DYK for it. (not sure which hook yet). The reason I'd like to get the DYK is that it's the year I was born. (yea, pretty stupid reason, but there were a few rather notable things that year). I also started the 1954 one, and might push it out this weekend. Don't see much there for a DYK (other than Lee Petty's first championship) so probably won't nom it for DYK ... but what do you think? Also have 1969 just barely started too - but just barely. I'm going to try to get the rest of the years too that are now just redirects over the coming weeks/months: 1954 (working), 1956, 1958 (working) (not sure about DYK yet), 1959, 1960, 1962, 1964, 1967, 1968, and the '69 one. If you have any thoughts or ideas, let me know. Cheers and best buddy. :-) — Ched : ? 11:49, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
I've been looking through some articles about Crandon, Forest County, and some related topics and I see you have contributed quite a bit to all of those articles. I also noticed you're the author of some of the images of Crandon. Are you from around here? I grew up in Crandon and my parents still live there. I've been either in Madison or Wausau the last two years for school but I'm there pretty much every weekend and all summer long. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out any related articles (editing, images, etc...). I would like to get more involved in Wikipedia but as of right now I'm completely new to all of it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smithaustin2009 ( talk • contribs) 06:59, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

2011 Budweiser Shootout, a new
Good article
The 2011 Budweiser Shootout was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on February 12, 2011 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kurt Busch for the Penske Racing team. Jamie McMurray finished second, and Ryan Newman clinched third. Pole position driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. maintained his lead through the first corner, but Clint Bowyer, who started seventh on the grid, led the first lap. On the 25th lap, the first caution was given, as Jeff Burton became the leader. During the caution all the teams made a pit stop . Two laps later, an accident involving several racecars prompted the second caution to be given. On lap 63, Newman became the leader. He maintained the lead until the final lap, when Denny Hamlin passed him below the yellow line (out of bounds line), as Busch passed him on the other side. Hamlin passed Newman below the yellow line giving the win to Kurt Busch. There were four cautions and 28 lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Busch's first win in the 2011 season, as well as his first win at a track that uses restrictor plates, such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. A total of 80,000 people attended the race, while 7.8 million watched it on television.

Hi-I started some articles on some unincorporated communities in Wisconsin. I used the US Geological Service citation. One or 2 editors do not like the Hometown Locator-a little spammy. However, the GNIS citation also has reference to the Hometown Locator. I notice you have photos concerning Hayton, Wisconsin so I started the article. Anome's bot puts in the coordinations for the various articles involving geography so I am not too concern about that. I had been doing articles on the various members of the Wisconsin Legislature and other public officials and am getting a little burnt out so I am going back to the unincorporated communities in Wisconsin. I hope you are doing-Thanks again- RFD ( talk) 22:33, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500
The 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 27, 2011 at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Contested over 312 laps, it was the second race of the 2011 season. The race was won by Jeff Gordon for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kyle Busch finished second, and Jimmie Johnson clinched third. Pole position driver Carl Edwards maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Kurt Busch, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the 29th lap, the first caution was given because of debris. Forty-eight laps later, a multiple car accident occurred, which involved 13 drivers. Afterward, several lead changes, and four more cautions occurred. With nine laps remaining, Gordon passed Kyle Busch for the first position. Gordon maintained the lead to win his first race of the season, and his first in more than 60 races. There were eight cautions and 29 lead changes among 12 different drivers throughout the course of the race, Gordon's first win of the season. The result moved Gordon to the sixth position in the Drivers' Championship. He remained 15 points behind first place driver Kyle Busch and one ahead of Bobby Labonte in seventh. In the Manufacturers' Championship, Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet had twelve points, four points ahead of Dodge. A total of 75,000 people attended the race, while 10.36 million watched it on television.

To any NASCAR related administrators,
I need you to ban a certain anonymous user's IP address.

2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, a
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.

First race of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season, it was won by the Wood Brothers Racing team entrant Trevor Bayne who became the youngest winner of the race. Carl Edwards was second ahead of David Gilliland. Pole position driver Kurt Busch led from the start ahead of Jeff Gordon who started second on the grid.

On lap 197 the fifteenth caution was flagged causing a green-white-checker finish. David Ragan was leading at the time but was black flagged for moving into the lower lane before the finish line.

Tim Richmond, a
good article
Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 - August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was the first driver to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons. Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which had been weakened by AIDS. The disease would drastically shorten his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance. Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a debauched lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in the sport of racing, Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick.

Some drivers who have raced for more than 10 seasons are getting extremely long "Cup Series career" sections. Should we make a new Article and separate the complete race by race commentary into another article? For example, should I split Jeff Gordon into Jeff Gordon Cup Series career? User:Nascar1996 referred me here. WP:SIZEGUIDE would say to split the article, but in the real world, should we split the article? Thanks.-- intelati talk 21:30, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Hi-Apparently someone from Marian University put a deletion templete on the Marian University article-the university is in Fond du Lac. I took the templete off on grounds of possible censorship by the university and suggested this be taken to the article's talk page-thanks- RFD ( talk) 00:53, 8 September 2011 (UTC) PS-I dislike WikiDrama!
Greetings Royalbroil :). I thought I should take a moment to acknowledge receipt of the message you've left on my talk page, which truly comes as a bit of an unexpected shock to me. Assuming that you're in no major rush for an immediate reply, I hope you don't mind if I take a couple of days to carefully think this over and get back to you with a decent reply that's well thought through. My apologies are in order if hesitation like this annoys you, so I'll do my best to not keep you waiting too long. Have yourself a great day Royalbroil, catch you soon. :) -- WikHead ( talk) 15:44, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

2010 AAA 400, a
good article
The 2010 AAA 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 26, 2010 at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware. The 400 lap race was the twenty-eighth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the second race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, of the Hendrick Motorsports team. Jeff Burton finished second, and Joey Logano, who started nineteenth, clinched third. Pole position driver Jimmie Johnson maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as A. J. Allmendinger, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. Fourteen laps later Allmendinger became the leader of the race. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Clint Bowyer, and Tony Stewart were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Afterward, Johnson became the leader of the race, once Allmendinger pitted because of a loose wheel. Johnson maintained the first position to lead the most laps of 191, and to win his sixth race of the season. There were four cautions and eighteen lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Jimmie Johnson's sixth win in the 2010 season, and the fifty-third of his career. The result moved Johnson up to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Denny Hamlin and ten ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-five ahead of Toyota and eighty ahead of Ford, with eight races remaining in the season. A total of 88,000 people attended the race, while 3.966 million watched it on television.
