	I'm showering you with some more WikiLove. Trust me, I don't know exactly how Huggle works, but you sure can use it well. I'm truly amazed. Jsayre64 (talk) 23:37, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I guess you can say I'm the man now. :) WayneSlam 23:38, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

The anti-vandalism alliance I was talking about and my post-block vandalism removal

I have improved my Wikipedia contributions since coming off my block. I still continue my strictness with vandals, however. So, do you want to start that alliance? Also, Eagles247 cleaned up my userpage a bit. He has been a big help, along with Wikipelli and Xeno. (Eagles247 most of all) They taught me how to put warning templates on the talk pages of unconstructive editors. However, I've gotten back at Eagles247 for his block of me by putting that the Mets and Giants are better than their rivals in Philadelphia. However, the AL and AFC teams in New York are my favorite baseball and football teams, respectively.--1966batfan (talk) 23:59, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Sure. First, let me ask you this: Do you have rollback? WayneSlam 00:01, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

I did, but it got removed because I was too liberal with it. (Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Xeno/Archive_27#This_user to see why my rollback was removed.--1966batfan (talk) 00:06, 9 September 2011 (UTC) Could you remove some vandalism on Edward Bloor?--1966batfan (talk) 00:20, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry

I thought that Wikipedia is not censored. My mistake. Sorry for having used the scatalogical language. 24.20.128.148 (talk) 02:55, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

It isn't but that's not the way you do it. WayneSlam 02:56, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Whoops, I forgot to sign. Sorry. --Tim Davenport, Corvallis, OR. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.128.148 (talk) 02:58, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I have a real problem with censorship. Are WP talk pages akin to email, or are they a public feature of the Wikimedia Foundation, subject to their (very restrictive) terms of use? That's the question. Yes, I used naughty words. People talk that way in real life. Am I not free to express my opinion as I see fit? --Tim Davenport, Corvallis, OR

Yes you could. But not the way you did. This is how you do you it. Just click that link. WayneSlam 03:05, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) WP:CENSOR applies to images and articles, not talk page comments. When commenting on a talk page, please remain civil and refrain from using foul language as much as possible. Also, the comment for which you received a warning is considered a personal attack, and personal attacks are not tolerated on Wikipedia. Regards, The Utahraptor^Talk/_Contribs 03:23, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I agree with what Utahraptor's saying. WayneSlam 13:48, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Huggle reverted my edit as vandalism (@ Brandon Jacobs)

It clearly wasn't. I don't know if you left the blurb on my talk page or if that is a feature of Huggle, but someone left me the "nonconstructive edit" bit... Debollweevil (talk) 18:32, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

I removed the warning and reverted back on the article to assume good faith. WayneSlam 18:35, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 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. (More...)
