I reviewed your article Nostalgia Super Stock and changed a few things. You might want to check out if I have made mistakes; I have no clue of Drag racing and just tried to align the article with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Please allow me to add a few tips on your new article work:
- Be careful not to plagiarise. Instead of inserting a complete paragraph from somewhere, rewrite it in your own words and reference the web site you took your information from.
- Instead of listing a web site under "external references", it is always better to link it to the paragraph it refers to.
- Not everyone is an expert in your field of expertise - lists of unexplained numbers and letters that mean something only to the insider should not be inserted unless you take the effort to explain what they mean.
- Many things in Wikipedia are case sensitive. If you are sure a certain page exists but it is displayed in red color you might have made a spelling or capitalisation error. For instance, Category:Drag Racing does not exist, but Category:Drag racing does.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Cheers, Pgallert (talk) 08:20, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
