GAReview

I can tell you first off that the lead should probably be improved a bit, and I'd like to see some references in it. I'll give it a more detailed overview later. --Wizardman 20:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I took out a sentence that I felt wasn't that great and added some references. I'm sure you'd like it expanded a bit, but I'm just worried if I go into too much detail about anything else (which is just about all bad: lawsuits, people protesting track construction, criticism of the racing at the tracks themselves) it'll look too POV against them. Otherwise, I'll just wait for your detailed review. Recury 17:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I gave it a nice read. Let's see if it follows the guidelines:

• It is well written? Well, as I said, I'd like a longer lead (1 sentence?), but I understand what you're saying. a lead's really just meant to summarize, so if it's redundant it's okay. I'd like to see the history section expanded a bit, but again not sure how hard that would be. As for prose and structure, that's all good.
• It is factually accurate and verifiable? Yup, many references.
• It is broad in its coverage? Broad, but maybe not comphrehensive. That's a FA requirement though so you're fine for now.
• It follows the neutral point of view policy? Yes it does.
• It is stable? You're pretty much the only editor the past 50 edits, so it definitely is.
• It contains images? Sure, 1 or 2 more would be nice, but for now this is good.

And there's my more detailed review.--Wizardman 16:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll work on the History section a bit and maybe from that I can find something I can put in the lead. Recury 17:46, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, I think the lead is better now and I've expanded the history section to include more on the merger with Penske and the reasoning behind a lot of their moves. Recury 15:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

GA Sweeps—kept

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, Ruslik (talk) 07:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

The article, if it had a neutral point of view, would have mentions of not only what is good about ISC but also what has been not so good. Like the attempts to cancel the planned street course events in Miami (in 2002) and Phoenix (2007). Rather than accept that the racing business is a competition (not a monopoly), they claimed that their profits would be threatened by these events (welcome to business) and hired lawyers to persuade the city officials and governors to deny CART permission to host these events. They also tried to sell bogus lies about the Champ Car World Series (calling it a "minor league") and street course racing (saying the the "hokey" race will "surely fail", and that they are "not successful"). Articles about both of these issues still exist on autoracing1.com, under the Champ Car category.

The article is actually misleading because it does not mention any of ISC's flaws. I have yet to encounter a Wikipedia article about any business that does NOT mention their criticisms, enviromnental record, and other related topics. 97.125.93.108 (talk) 23:09, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Did you miss the parts where all their tracks don't get built because everyone hates them and they get sued all the time? Recury (talk) 02:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

ISC vs CART/CCWS

Why no mention of the attempts to call off planned CART/Champ Car World Series races in both Miami and Phoenix? In both instances, ISC (NASCAR) attempted to not only prevent the races from happening, but began a campaign to convince people to not support the event. Source information from 2002 and 2006 still exists at autoracing1.com under the Champ Car category. 97.125.93.108 (talk) 22:55, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Have at it, as long as you cite sources and are NPOV. I've never heard of any of those criticisms. Recury (talk) 02:04, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
