(edit conflict)Thank you for this review this article and 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 04:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Alright; I'll do a final look over the article before passing :D. Next on my list (after completing Talk:Boeing B-52 Stratofortress/GA1) is 2010 Crown Royal Presents the Heath Calhoun 400 (nominated by NSD). Make sure to take the suggestions from this review and apply them before I get there! Airplaneman ✈ Review? 04:50, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Okay, yay!, I do not believe it will pass its first, but I don't know. If you have been wathcing the GA page I removed several of my nominations because I know they are not ready. 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 is my best article. Also I have created 35 articles please og to my user page and click more about my account to see more. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 04:53, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
Cool; take your time. I made a giant copy edit to the article and have a few lingering concerns before I go ahead and close the review. Airplaneman ✈ Review? 05:33, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

...for this! I told you that fact would make a great hook! ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐ • ✍) 01:28, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

I moved Template:User NASCAR1996 to Template:User JimmieFan since templates in the template space shouldn't be named after their creator, and it also shows ownership. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐ • ✍) 02:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay, as long as the other editors using it doesn't see a difference on their user page.--Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 02:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Also, when I created it, I didn't know about that. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 02:23, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
It shouldn't affect transclusions. ~NerdyScienceDude (✉ • ✐ • ✍) 02:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
I didn't think it would, but I wanted to be sure. Also, when I added "importScript("User:GregU/dashes.js");" and refreshed it it should have gave me something to fix dashes, but it wouldn't. Do you know the reason why?--Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 02:30, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Can we come to a comprise?

As far as the team chart goes on the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, can we compromise to get rid of the team colors and keep the sponsors because they are pertinent to the drivers getting rides and drivers switching to new teams and numbers (eg, Kurt Busch switching to #22 and taking Shell-Pennzoil with him)? Trocksuk4415 (talk) 01:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Replied at your talk page.--Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 01:57, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
I am a Hendricks fan! Who is your favorite driver? #24 has been my guy since he started full-time in 1993. Anyways, I am fine with losing the colors and owners, but I think sponsorship is pertinent information to recognizing the car and driver, don't you think? It will not make the tables large if we keep it to the main primary sponsor. I think it'll add to the page. Trocksuk4415 (talk) 14:33, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay just one sponsor for each because it is not a huge detail for it. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 14:51, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Image on NASCAR template

I notice that you changed the image used at Template:NASCAR-stub. That image shows up poorly - we have to do better. I do like the image that you told me about at Commons (great job - crystal clear!) and I'd rather see it used than what's used now on SO many pages. Even the single picture that I uploaded (so far) from the Road America Nationwide race is better (File:Bucyrus200RoadAmerica2010FieldStarting.jpg). The picture used is way too blurry. As usual, please reply here on your talk page to keep the thread together. Royalbroil 02:39, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

You can change it, how do you like the new WP:NASCAR? --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 02:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
I like WP:NASCAR MUCH better! I don't have a preference for which better image to use. I was hoping to get one with several drivers which is why that previous image was used. Otherwise we could use the picture here on your talk page since Johnson is the reigning champ (File:Jimmie Johnson Pit Stop.jpg). Royalbroil 03:04, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
You know I would like it, where I am a fan of him. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 03:06, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Please change it then. I'm not a Johnson fan so I'm not biased either way. The only time that I might have seen him race is when he was a driver in SODA back in the 1990s when I was a pit crew member for a guy who raced in the smallest buggy class at one of the few off-road races at Road America. I remember seeing him race in some of the televised races back in the day. I'm sure that Brendan Gaughan raced in Class 13 races that year at RA and he dominated that class. Royalbroil 03:24, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay, will do. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 03:26, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Awww, SWEEET! I found my ticket from one of the events! It was the event that I went to where I went as a spectator - I think it was the year after I pitted there. It was held on Sunday August 20, 1995 - the Chevrolet Off-Road America Challenge. It only cost $10. Last year it cost me $20 to watch the Off-Road World Championship race at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway - but the long trip there (almost 3 hours each way) cost me about $25 for gas. I'm a HUGE off-road racing fan so it was well worth the trip. Plus everyone sits in their lawn chairs on the frontstretch just chilling so talking with your "neighbors" is even more fun. Royalbroil 03:38, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Sound fun. I have a question, what is the reason that you are not a bg NASCAR fan? --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 03:40, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
@RoyalBroil: This discussion may interest you :). Airplaneman ✈ Review? 03:43, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
I was a big NASCAR fan from the mid 1980s until the Chase format began. It felt like they were punishing my favorite driver Matt Kenseth who I watched come up from the local ranks to be NASCAR champion. The races are all so long and I always would get bored and fall asleep about 1/4 way through. They stripped away the Darlington Fall race and both dates at North Wilkesboro which were both very interesting tracks, and replaced them with cookie cutter tracks. I'm not a fan of the drivers any more either. Btw, I sent that email with that awesome NASCAR story about me which you need to keep off Wikipedia. Royalbroil 04:32, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Okay will read in a minute. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 04:36, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

"WikiProject Report" would like to focus on WikiProject NASCAR for a Signpost article to be published this month. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Also, if you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 20:44, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

A couple tips

When creating the qualifying tables, use a |rowspan="8"| instead of just a | for the bar between the drivers who made it in the field and those who did not.

At the bottom of the results table use |-class="sortbottom" to prevent the sources line from sorting when the sort buttons are clicked. --Wean0r (talk) 22:30, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips! --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 23:08, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

NOT Rumors

It has been confirmed that both Atlanta and Auto Club (California) will lose races in the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and links were posted. I have reverted back to that edit; the next time you do that, I will have no other choice but to report you to a moderator. NoseNuggets (talk) 3:38 PM US EDT Aug 7 2010

  • The only reason both the teams and schedile were hidden, not erased, was that both the teams and schedule need to be confirmed. As stated in the rewrite, both Auto Club and Atlanta have officially lost 2011 dates (Atlanta in the spring; California in the fall and the Chase) due to this realignment to other tracks (Kentucky by SMI, Atlanta's owner and a second date to Kansas by ISC, Auto Club's owner) and links were posted there and in the 2011 Realignment stories. The schedule will be released on August 18th, and can be taken from hiding. Just do us all a favor and don't be an ignoramus when it comes to these things, okay? NoseNuggets (talk) 3:55 PM US EDT Aug 7 2010.
I am going tomake minor ajustments accordingly. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 19:56, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
    • How many times do I have to tell you? I have MORE expreience in this than you, thank you. The format on TV/Radio in the 2011 Sprint Cup Series was the same as the previous years. Don't feck it up, okay? As a result, I will have no other choice but to report you to a administrator for this. NoseNuggets (talk) 10:42 PM US EDT Aug 7 2010.
      • Does the term "formatting" answer your question? Now you're looking at an "time out" if you know what I mean. NoseNuggets (talk) 10:46 PM US EDT Aug 7 2010.

(deindent) I have left comments directed at both of you on my talk page. I hope that both of you are calmer next time. Royalbroil 04:23, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

For one, how you have it in your sandbox is called copyright right infrigment (schedule only). There have also been no sources on the date nor the schedule. I say wait to create it until Jayski.com has a schedule, but you can set it up similar to 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. ~ Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 03:35, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

I saw your mention of the unassessed WP:NASCAR articles in need of work in the Signpost, and decided to do something about it...

Nascar1996,

I'm a regular Signpost reader (and I especially enjoy the WikiProject Report), and I noticed your comment about wanting to clear the unassessed articles backlog at WP:NASCAR. After familiarizing myself with the assessment department's guidelines, I was able to clear the backlogs for both the "unassessed" and "unknown-importance" categories. I just wanted to let you know that getting your message out in the Signpost is a really good way to raise your profile and reach out to curious Wikipedians (like myself) who otherwise never would have stumbled across the project. Also, I really enjoyed reading the report on WP:NASCAR. Keep up the good work!

I don't know why they don't announce it in advance. Most probably have to multi-year contracts, but they do not let it out for publiciity, The only ones I am sure of is the Daytona 500, the Emory Healthcare 500, and I am pretty sure Coca-Cola will continue their sponsorship.

While reverting vandalism, I reverted what may have been a good edit. This diff outlines a change made to the Showtime Southern 500 article in which an IP user deleted the 1950-1959 winners of the Southern 500. The same winners list can be found in this article, which deals with the "Southern 500". I reverted the deletion on principle, but I am not a NASCAR guy and I'm not very familiar with the history under discussion. The edit certainly could be correct. Because you were a contributor to the article, I'm hoping that you have an interest in and knowledge of the topic, and a willingness to either vet the deletion or the reversion. Thanks!

Re

To answer your question about the Top 35 owner's standings: Some people do care about whether their driver is inside the Top 35, especially Robby Gordon fans. I put the team's owners names instead of the drivers because sometimes they will rotate drivers, especially the Front Row Motorsports team. I will update it as often as need, but if you not want me to put something like that in the 2011 editon, I understand. If I do not have such a section, is there a way we can mention in the race report if a team moves in or out of the Top 35?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Diddlyman2004 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I usually look at Jayski and NASCAR for driver and team updates. If there is a confirmed driver change, I update the pages. On my Top 35 standings, I only list the position, car number, owners, points from 35th. In the case of Tommy Baldwin Racing or Front Row MOtorsports, it does get confusing to update the driver constantly. If the drivers change cars within the team, it would impossible to constantly update (Travis Kvapil has driven the 34, 37, and 38 this year). I was also wondering if we could put the Jayski entry list in the qualifying section or updated owner's point standings in the race summary. Diddlyman2004 (talk) 13:36, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

On Haruki De Baptiste, why did you place cleanup tags? Looking at the content of the article and the name of the person who created it, it's pretty obvious it's just something silly that somebody wrote about himself.

I wouldn't make a new sentence for each lead change. Try and fuse a few changes into the one sentence. For example:

On the restart, on lap 89, Jimmie Johnson led them to the green flag. On the following lap, David Reutimann, with assistance from Jeff Gordon, passed Johnson, but Reutimann, on lap 91, was passed by Gordon. Jeff Gordon led until lap 92 because Kyle Busch passed him. On lap 94, Kasey Kahne passed Busch to become the 25th leader in the race, but two laps later Regan Smith passed him for the lead. One lap later Kasey Kahne reclaimed the lead. On lap 100, the fourth caution came out as a result of Regan Smith's engine blowing up in smoke. There were 3 lead changes under caution; the drivers who led were Denny Hamlin, Mark Martin, and Greg Biffle. On lap 105, Greg Biffle led the field to the green flag. A lead change happened on lap 106 with Denny Hamlin passing Biffle. Two laps later, Joey Logano passed Hamlin, but on lap 111, he was passed by Brian Vickers. On the next lap, Logano reclaimed the lead from Vickers. On lap 113, Kyle Busch passed Logano, but after a lap of leading, he was passed by A.J. Allmendinger. Then, on lap 117, Johnson passed Allmendinger for the lead, but on the next lap A.J. Allmendinger reclaimed the lead.

I would write it like this:

At the lap 89 restart, Jimmie Johnson led the field to the green flag, but on the following lap, David Reutimann – with assistance from Johnson's team-mate Jeff Gordon – passed Johnson, but Reutimann himself was passed by Gordon on the next lap. Jeff Gordon led until lap 92 before Kyle Busch passed him and led two laps, until Kasey Kahne passed him on lap 94 to become the 25th leader in the race, leading two laps before Regan Smith passed him for the lead. Kahne reclaimed the lead on lap 97 and held the lead until the race's fourth caution on lap 100 when Smith's engine blew. There were 3 lead changes under caution; the drivers who led were Denny Hamlin, Mark Martin, and Greg Biffle. Biffle led the field to the green flag for the lap 105 restart, with Hamlin retaking the lead on lap 106. Hamlin's Joe Gibbs Racing team-mate Joey Logano passed Hamlin for the lead on lap 108, but on lap 111, he was passed by Brian Vickers. The lead then changed for the next three laps, with Logano taking Vickers for the lead at first, the third Joe Gibbs car of Kyle Busch passed Logano on the following lap before he was passed by A. J. Allmendinger on the 113th lap. Allmendinger held the lead until lap 117, when Johnson passed him for the lead, but would return to the head of the field the lap after.

Feel free to continue the prose that you have done in the past for the NASCAR summaries as it is not something to be knocked at, and the fact that many other users may prefer it that way. Cs-wolves(talk) 18:09, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Glad to be of assistance. Cs-wolves(talk) 18:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks good so far. I shall keep an eye on the article and if need be, make some adjustments if the prose isn't flowing as well as it should. But, I'll let you have a stab through it first, if that's alright with you? Cs-wolves(talk) 21:36, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
What I mean is that I shall let you write up your report first, and if I can get a hold of some highlights, I can make any amendments if need be. Apologies. Cs-wolves(talk) 21:42, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Ah, thanks. I shall look over that lap-by-lap in great detail! Cs-wolves(talk) 22:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Anniversary

Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary here at Wikipedia. It's been a good year, and wishing many more for you! Royalbroil 01:03, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, and I hope I last longer, too! Nascar1996 01:06, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Alan Kulwicki

I critically read the article's content and I hope that you did too. Do you have any automated tools to check the article? I can run it through a spell checker. Do you have a tool to test each reference to make sure that it is still valid (not a 404 page)? Otherwise each needs to be manually checked by someone. I'm hoping to nominate it for Featured Article early next week. Royalbroil 05:58, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I see your upcoming Wikibreak. I'll wait until you tell me that you're back and ready before I nominate it. I'm not usually around too much on weekends so weekdays are best. Royalbroil 12:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Okay, I'll see if I have the reference checker (I'm not sure if I do or not). On weekdays, I'm only on the Web from 3:10 ET to 10:30 ET, exept for Tuesday, where I am off. The week I am off for next month is the week of Thanksgiving, but I can do a lot of work during the evenings if I have something to do. I will be online that night or the next evening. Also, I am considering buying a new camera, which one would you suggest? Nascar1996 13:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Also, you may consider looking at this and this. Nascar1996 13:34, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Oh, so then an average weeknight is probably fine with you since 7 hours is a long time. I'm lucky to be online from 7 to 10 or 11. No problem with avoiding Thanksgiving week. So what are these excellent tools about the references designed for? Royalbroil 22:12, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

(deindent) As for the camera, are you looking to get a point-and-shoot or a DSLR? There's a huge difference in price and capabilities. If you want to use the camera to take any action shots, then make sure it has a sports mode. My point and shoot had it and I used it all the time at the racetracks. You'll also want to be able to take photos without the flash on. I rarely use it except for portraits. If you use the flash beyond its range, then the camera predicts the wrong shutter speed to use and it misses. My DSLR allows me to change lens to telephoto. The telephoto opened up a whole new world of photography. However, the skill of the photograph can be more important the the camera. I took a photo with my point and shoot that I sold to a magazine and it is in their current issue! Royalbroil 22:12, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I want a camera to take good racing pictures (I'm not sure what type). I have seen this one camera with 15x zoom and 12mp. For the reference tools, above all the references there are colors. It shows you which references you have to work on. Such as some at the right side will say the web address has ? marks at the end. You can just read it and you should understand it quickly. Thats one thing, after the final race on November 21 I will be free to do anything because I have no race reports to do. Nascar1996 00:00, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
If you can afford to spend $600 on a camera, you should get into the DSLR world. DSLR is not a brand, it's a type of camera. With a DSLR, you'll get great shots every time. They are fully automatic, partial automatic, or fully programmable depending on what mode you set them. It's taken me quite some time to understand mine. DSLR's use a single lens to reflect the light so they work better in low light. Their pictures almost always look better. But the cost is not affordable for many people. A point-and-shoot camera is a nice, small pocket-sized camera. They are less programmable; so have little to no options. They cost maybe $60 to $130. If you go this way, it's important to watch for the highest amount of programmability. Another thing is to watch to get the most amount of optical zoom and don't even consider digital zoom. You'll want to do the digital zoom by cropping the photos when you process the photos on your computer. Megapixels is way too overrated. My Canon can shoot at 10 megapixels. I found no advantage with doing when I tested the camera with multiple shots of the same object at different megapixels. So I shoot everything at the poorest resolution - around 2 megapixels. The higher the megapixels, the larger the file gets on my hard drive. And I've taken tens of thousands of pictures on both of my cameras. To compare the cameras, here's what I've experienced in the dark at a racetrack: with my point&shoot I had to take pictures of parked racecars on the frontstretch and then they often were blurry. With the DLSR and a telephoto, I can zoom on the cars on the backstretch over the top of the catch fence. Of course the telephoto cost as much as the camera did. Cars can be moving if it's a well-lit track. Compare point&shoot vs DSLR. Royalbroil 03:56, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I can see the difference between the two photos. When I was at the All-Star race the people sitting in front of us had a camera with ouse a large lense, and they could zoom in really close, and the image still looked nice. I don't know the camera's name, but I have seem them in Walmart. I'll probably will get that camera (which costs $279.99) for Christmas. Also, how do you like the improvements with Portal:NASCAR? There are now 14 sets of four DYK's and one more set of three, six or seven Selected articles, five selected biographies, and about 5 to 10 images in rotation. I added 'Current Championship Standings', too. Nascar1996 04:21, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Sounds like you have the camera figured out, good luck with it (hopefully)! You did a great job with the Portal. I especially like the randomly generated layout. Royalbroil 04:58, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. Nascar1996 14:08, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Its probably what I would put on it, please add {{Talk header}} at the top of it. Thanks, Nascar1996 01:06, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
 Done. How many NASCAR race articles are you planning to create next year? WAYNEOLAJUWON 01:16, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
All thirty six, and the 2011 Budweiser Shootout (other than what you have already completed of course). - Nascar1996 01:27, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Can I create the 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500 like I told you before if you don't mind? WAYNEOLAJUWON 01:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Not yet. I would accually like it to be created either in January or February. Also, please do not create articles for race pages for 2012 like you did for 2011 Ford 400. Thanks, Nascar1996 01:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I won't do that again, I promise. I watch NASCAR myself but you update the stats every weekend and I do other stuff on WP:NASCAR such as create new WP:NASCAR articles' talk pages. Who updates the Nationwide Series' and Camping World Truck Series' schedules? WAYNEOLAJUWON 01:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
They don't have individual race articles because their not notable. Ummm, either IPs or sometimes a couple of the project's editors. Nascar1996 01:52, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Like what is mentioned on your user page that your first edit was an undo edit on Jimmie Johnson, how do you think he will do on Sunday and also why isn't the 2010 AAA Texas 500 doesn't have all the race results that it should have? WAYNEOLAJUWON 02:02, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I hope he wins, or Hamlin and Harvick wrecks, he can clinch the championship by leading the most laps, winning the race, and Denny Hamlin finsh 3rd or worse. It doesn't because I'm taking a break. Normally when I keep on doing it I don't want to do the rest, and it might let me focas on 2010 Ford 400 more so I can get it to FA class. Nascar1996 02:04, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Also:I'll do it after the season is over. Nascar1996 02:05, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

I wonder how Johnson will do. Johnson should win the race and the championship. If he doesn't, he still had a good season, overall. Johnson is behind Hamlin by only 15 points going into Homestead. If he does clinch the championship, he will make NASCAR history, again. Did you know Johnson won the Daytona 500 in 2006 when Chad Knaus was suspended a few races? Jimmie's season always turned around in the Chase until this year when he had success before the Chase. I've been watching NASCAR since 2004. WAYNEOLAJUWON 02:11, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
Yea, I'm a Johnson expert in a way. Nascar1996 02:16, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
How long have you been a Johnson fan? WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:32, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
It really started in late 2007, but I didn't really become a large fan until the next season. 2009 was when I watched the entire race and kept my eyes staring at the TV. Nascar1996 20:34, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I started watching NASCAR in 2004 when it was known as the NEXTEL Cup Series. I follow Jeff Gordon as my favorite driver but Jimmie's good too. I've watch all the Sprint Cup races every year since 2008. WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:43, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

My father was a large fan of Richard Petty in the 80s. Have you been to a race? Nascar1996 20:50, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

No, I have never been to a race. Have you been to a race? WAYNEOLAJUWON 21:11, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
I've been to four. Nascar1996 22:18, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

No. Nascar1996 00:00, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Okay. Are there any NASCAR-articles that need copy-editing according to WP:NASCAR? WAYNEOLAJUWON 00:20, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Please review WP:NASCAR#Current Activity under the Things to do section. Nascar1996 00:22, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't you do everything of WP:NASCAR on Jimmie's article because he's your favorite driver? WAYNEOLAJUWON 00:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

What do you mean? Nascar1996 00:28, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I mean by since you update Jimmie's stats and revert untrue edits on that page, shouldn't you also copy-edit his page since he's your favorite driver? WAYNEOLAJUWON 00:42, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
I have. Look! Nascar1996 02:20, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Then why does it still need copy-editing according to WP:NASCAR? WAYNEOLAJUWON 20:04, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
To make it better than how I put it. Nascar1996 20:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Okay, and would you like to join the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors? WAYNEOLAJUWON 21:50, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
No, I don't copyedit that much. I sometimes do it, but not that often. Nascar1996 21:52, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay, but shouldn't the qualify template of the 2010 Ford 400 be completely filled in? WAYNEOLAJUWON 23:35, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm working on it! Nascar1996 00:01, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I know. Sunday's race should be very interesting to determine who's the champion: Hamiln, Johnosn, or Harvick. Only one will have the title. All three have a very good shot at the cup. Do you ever watch NASCAR RaceDay. WAYNEOLAJUWON 01:16, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I watch all pre-race show, and post-race shows. Nascar1996 03:22, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I think you've convinced me to watch this one, at least keep close tabs while my Green Bay Packers are playing. The last championship finale I remember that was this close was Alan Kulwicki's championship in 1992 which was a shocker. I was also a fan of Davey Allison and it was great having two horses in the race. It sure made for a rough 1993 when they both died in aviation crashes! Royalbroil 03:30, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I can't believe it! :) I'll be happy that you boost up their ratings a little bit. One championship down this season, two to go. Nascar1996 03:39, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Today is the championship race for the Nationwide Series even though it's over now that Brad Keselowski won the championship at Texas. Danica Patrick had an up and down year. Tomorrow is the most interesting of all three races: Keep an eye out for the top three: Hamlin, Johnson, and Harvick. Harvick needs a lot of help to own the cup. Johnson needs to win the race and lead the most laps in order to capture a fifth consecutive championship. Hamlin may need to finish second or better and lead the most laps in order to capture the cup. The championship driver's flag will fly for the next 12 months. The closest chase victory was when Kurt Busch won the championship in 2004 when the Cup Series was known as the NEXTEL Cup Series. WAYNEOLAJUWON 16:02, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Yeap, I'm working on 2011 NASCAR Cmaping World Truck Series, an article that I think you created. You may wnat to look at the progress. Nascar1996 16:06, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

You actually mean 2011 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Yeah, I created that article. It's going good so far. How do you install Reflinks and AWB? WAYNEOLAJUWON 16:08, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

2011 will be the first NASCAR game you will have that is not EA Sports. I have NASCAR 2005: Chase for the Cup, 07, and 09. Why don't get Gran Turismo 5 because it has NASCAR too? Do you control Jimmie Johnson in all of those games? WAYNEOLAJUWON 16:28, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
Were getting off subject from Wikipedia. This conversation is also getting really long. Nascar1996 16:30, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't know what e-mail should I use for Wikipedia. WAYNEOLAJUWON 16:40, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
It doesn't really matter, just hide all personal information so you wouldn't plert it out like I did. I use my main email address. Nascar1996 16:41, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I rather make an e-mail address that has my user name. Does your e-mail have your user name? WAYNEOLAJUWON 16:49, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Re:Volumes

It depends on the way you want to look at it. With the NASCAR newsletter starting mid-season, it may be best to go through a year of them to just fit in. Alternatively, you could follow our lead and start the second volume in January, but just having the short 2010 stint at the beginning. This decision is entirely up to you, as it is all about preference. But the Issue/Volume thing was not my idea for the Newsletter, as it had been there since the very first newsletter. Cs-wolves(talk) 21:10, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

I would keep it as it is currently, and change the volume with each July issue, when the first one was released. Cs-wolves(talk) 21:21, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

New username

Do you like my new username? WAYNESLAM 23:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that, it great! It is also easier to spell. :) Nascar1996 00:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Slam is considered slam dunk in basketball. I even copy-edited an article for WP:NASCAR which has been done a couple of days ago. Do you think this username is better than the previous one? WAYNESLAM 00:26, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Yea, for some reason it reminds me of grand slam (I'm not sure where I heard it, but it does. Also, it doesn't matter what other people think of your username, it only matters in your opinion. It is easier to spell, and it sounds better. So thumbs up to your new user name. Nascar1996 01:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! Anyway, soon you will have to start on the 2011 Daytona 500 article. Do you like other sports teams besides NASCAR such as the NBA, NHL, NFL, and Major League Baseball? WAYNESLAM 01:15, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Your welcome. No, not really; NASCAR is my only sport, though, I do watch West Virginia University during football and basketball games. They have a chance to win the Big East. Nascar1996 01:44, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
I hope it don't come too fast, I'm ready for a break. (Unfortinately I do have to go to school though. Its so sad. :'( Nascar1996 01:45, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

We just came back from our Thanksgiving break in my school. You will have a break for Christmas. Do you have to start school in July or August? WAYNESLAM 01:48, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Late August, and ends in May, unless we have snow days. Nascar1996 01:50, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
I start school in September and end in June, unless if they're snow days. I'm in high school. I encourage you to watch professional sports too, if you want. Some of those players on West Virginia's football and basketball programs, might go to the NBA or the NFL if they're good enough. Are you trying out for any sport in your school? WAYNESLAM 01:56, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
No, I completely focas on my studies, as though I too am in [redacted] (per my userboxes). Yes, I don't know any of the members of the WVU team, I just cheer them on. Nascar1996 01:59, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
I'm trying out for basketball in [redacted] but practice was canceled today. I want to get into [redacted] even though I did well last year in grammar school. [redacted]? WAYNESLAM 02:04, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Too much information, I'm not willing to give. (per WP:CHILD) Nascar1996 02:07, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
Never mind about that because WP:CHILD is to prevent harassment from users that attack but there's a lot of changes to the NASCAR schedule for next year. When was the last time that a huge change was made like that? The 2005 NASCAR realignment wasn't even like that. When you talk a person on Wikipedia, do you really know that person at all? WAYNESLAM 02:28, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
No not really, and the biggest change similar to this was 2001, when Chicagoland, etc was added to the schedule. Nascar1996 02:53, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi guys. Sorry about that, but I just suppressed a couple of edits there. I think you both know why ;) - Alison ❤ 04:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Alison. I know the reason why. Also, hello, its nice to meet you. Nascar1996 20:08, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Good pit stop image

I found a good free-use image of the US Army crew doing a pit stop for Mark Martin in 2007 [2]. I don't know where it could be used, so please add it if you can find a spot. Royalbroil 02:12, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Do you think we should add it to Martin's article, or Pit stop? Nascar1996 02:13, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
I wasn't convinced to add to either or else I would have. Probably not any better than the pit stop picture of Jr. So if you can't think of anything that I'd say forget about it. I found more here if you find anything interesting (I didn't). Royalbroil 02:21, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm going to use some of them. Most definately the image of Mark Martin (not his car). Nascar1996 02:23, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Also very nice find! Nascar1996 02:27, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Good, I'm glad I brought it up. I'm going to crop the image of Don Schumacher down to his NHRA trophy for the NHRA article. Royalbroil 02:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Okay, do you think I should upload this closeup image of the rear tire changer? Nascar1996 02:32, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Oh, good find. I'd add it to the Pit stop article in the section "NASCAR pit crew roles" and put it on the left. It's nice to stagger the images once in a while. Royalbroil 03:00, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Okay, thanks. I'll upload it tomorrow, as I am needing to rest. Nascar1996 03:03, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

New page patroller

Are there any NASCAR articles that need to be patrolled? WAYNESLAM 02:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe, but you can watch over this for the new articles. Nascar1996 02:33, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
I added it to my watchlist, though. WAYNESLAM 23:32, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

NASCAR driver's template

I see that you made major changes to Template:Infobox NASCAR driver. Is Corona the Mexican series? What about Canadian Tire Series? But the main reason that I asked is because you changed the example to Richard Petty. Can you change the example back to Mark Martin because it was very helpful to copy a driver who raced in all 3 of the major series. Please list the Corona series but keep them blank so it's a full template to copy. What happened to the Achievements section? Thanks! Royalbroil 04:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

I didn't change some of those, I just changed the how the name formatting is and I changed some of the wording. Here is the differences: [3] Nascar1996 11:31, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

PR

Glad my comments were helpful - copyeditors can sometimes be found at WP:GOCE or in the bottom-most section of WP:PR/V. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 22:18, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

By a fresh pair of eyes I meant anyone who has not been working closely with the article recently. If you take a break and come back to the article, you will notice things then you do not now (or at least this works for me). You can also try printing out the article and reading it out loud to catch rough spots. A copyedit from someone else would also be "fresh eyes", though they could be someone familiar with NASCAR or not. The important thing is to get a copyedit from someone new to the article if at all possible. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 05:04, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Re: FAs

One thing I noticed is that they do factor prose in heavily; it has to be great rather than good or okay. As such, before trying there, I would have you send the article to Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests, where they should be able to fine-tune any issues.

Commons media of the Day

I logged on to Commons to find that my video of ice racing is the Commons Media of the Day for today (Tuesday). How exciting is that! I didn't know it was even nominated. I'm surprised that they used the video with the dirt spots on the camera's sensor. Royalbroil 03:46, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Wow! Thats really cool and exiting. I'm also surprised that they would chose it. On the other hand, WP:NASCAR has a high chance to finally get their first featured item, which the nomination is here. Nascar1996 03:51, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
Yea, I saw the nomination and I didn't comment for a reason. It looks like it's going well enough so it'll pass without my comment. Royalbroil 03:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Why didn't you comment? If it oppose, its all right. It ends tomorrow. Nascar1996 03:08, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Because I'm neutral about it. A daylight photograph would beat this shot taken at night. An opposition or even neutral often changes the outcome when it is done early in the process. Royalbroil 04:40, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
Okay...Nascar1996 14:58, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

(deindent) I'm glad to see it passed, congratulations to you and WikiProject NASCAR. The featured headline for the newsletter! I suggest that you immediately request for it to be featured on the main page on the day of the 2011 Daytona 500 in February. My Wiki-acquaintance Howcheng does the scheduling. I bet he'd appreciate if you offer to help write the blurb. Since this passed, I now wonder if some of my newer photos with my semi-pro-level camera are featured level. I'm feeling better about them... Royalbroil 03:44, 16 December 2010 (UTC) P.S. check out Wikipedia:Triple Crown, you have one coming!

I'm proud to finally get the first item featured for our wonderful project. I will, but I'm sure where to go; I'll check it out though. I have looked at some of your images, and they look the same, if not better than the new featured one. Nascar1996 11:02, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for the high praise! The problem is that the great car images don't have strong encyclopedic value in driver's articles since they're in biographies. Featured Pictures for biographies are always pictures of the person. Possibly this image for Bucyrus 200 or this one for Formula Continental. Royalbroil 14:44, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
However, before you nominate for FP (if you do) get it peer reviewed first. Nascar1996 14:47, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Concerning the NASCAR the Game 2011

It is fine that you removed things that weren't referenced, but you also removed many corrections I made to grammar errors that were not part of quotations and even then brackets should be used. The items I changed are known and are present on several gaming websites. Also I improved the clarity in several areas, where it was otherwise poorly worded by whoever originally wrote it. One example is where it mentions "all 23 tracks", it would be more clear if one said all 23 tracks on the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup schedule or something like that.
