Speedy deletion nomination of Kentucky 400

A tag has been placed on Kentucky 400 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 00:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

PPV Articles

Please stop creating WWE PPV Articles way too early. Its standard to wait two months before the event is to take place ie. Royal Rumble(2011) takes place on Jan 30th it wont be created till Oct 30th.--Steam Iron 04:56, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Judging from the above message and your re-creation of TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2010) earlier today, you appear to be ignoring messages/disregarding on your talk page. This is not a wise idea. Please pay attention to what other editors are telling you.
Also, please read WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. You have no excuse to continue creating ppv articles too soon - it's been pointed out in edit summaries and on your talk page, and you are really just being disruptive now. I've reverted to the redirect. Please adhere/stick to the standards, and do not recreate the article until two months at least before the event. Editors are expected to follow certain standards on wikipedia, and you do not seem willing to do so at this point. Please stick to the two month guideline in all your future edits to wrestling ppv articles. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:39, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Your request for rollback

Hi Nascarking/Archive 2. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Your Survivor Series edit

Regarding this edit: a) The ip's edits were perfectly valid - they corrected WP:OVERLINKing. You re-introduced it. Please be more careful in future. b) You appear to have used rollback to revert the ip. This is unacceptable. Per WP:RBK, rollback should only be used when "reverting obvious vandalism or undoing one's own edits". This was neither. Be more careful in future please and stick to the accepted usage of rollback, or it'll be removed. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 04:18, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Unified tag titles

Your message to me regarding the "promotional" issues with my edit were unneccesary. My edit simply rephrased "it should be noted that WWE.com" to "WWE's official website" (which is the exact same thing). If you have issue with the use of a WWE.com link in the article, than I would suggest removing the phrase (regardless of wording) from the article entirely. -- TRTX ^{T / C} 22:29, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Your harassment

Reverting my edits for absolutely no good reason qualifies as such. Isn't there an article about that "sport" that involves forty rednecks turning left for 500 miles that you could "improve"? The Cleanup Kid (talk) 22:03, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

3RR on SummerSlam (2010)‎

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on SummerSlam (2010). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Continued harassment will be reported. HAND; FYM. The Cleanup Kid (talk) 22:26, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

September 2010

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule at SummerSlam (2010). During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. --Chris (talk) 22:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I broke the 3 reverts rule yes and I apologize. But I was only trying to protect the integrity or whatever Wikipedia uses for integrity of the wrestling articles. And in the process I forgot that I was also reverting the edits as well. Certainly someone knows what your judgment is like during an edit war, almost nothing. This kid though has been a real Thorn in my Side for the last couple of days for not just me but 3bulletproof16 and Dcheagle. I think the block on me though is not as necessary as it is on The Cleanup Kid. I know what I did wrong and I can promise you with anything that I will never take part in an edit war again or break the 3 Reverts Rule.

Decline reason:

I was only trying to protect the integrity or whatever Wikipedia uses... Being right does not entitle you to edit waring.

Certainly someone knows what your judgment is like during an edit war, almost nothing. That's why edit waring isn't allowed.

I think the block on me though is not as necessary as it is on The Cleanup Kid. Maybe but that doesn't mean it's not still necessary for you.

You say that you were so upset you couldn't control yourself and then say it wont happen again? Take a day off and cool down. You'll be a better editor in the long run. - Selket ^Talk 06:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Out of curiosity, exactly what part of TCK's edit did you consider vandalism? The changes look fine to me. --Chris (talk) 23:27, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes but they where fine before and he doesn't seem to know when to stop reverting. I noticed he reverted back to his version after I think it was Nicki or Micky I'm not sure reverted his 1st edit. I reverted it back to whoevers version he reverted. then he reverted mine I reverted his. It could have stopped there but he reverted it again so that's when it became vandalism.--Nascar king 23:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

What part of the definition of vandalism are you using when concluding that TCK's reverts were vandalism? --Chris (talk) 23:47, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Would continuing to revert after someone has told you to stop be vandalism?--Nascar king 23:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Oh wait it would be under stubborn editing which isn't vandalism.--Nascar king 00:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Looking at it that way this is sort of my fault then.--Nascar king 00:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Would you agree to not edit-war from now on and to not edit SummerSlam (2010) for 24 hours?--Chaser (talk) 00:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

As the edits were not vandalism, what was the rationale for reverting them? Do you genuinely disagree with the content of his edit, or do you just have a bone to pick with him and are expressing it by reverting him? --Chris (talk) 01:02, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

It is never good to edit-war for any reason. Next time take the issue to a talk page and discuss your concerns over the edits with the other party and take it from there. No worries Nascarking. See you in 24.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 01:06, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Carfax 400, a recent good article The 2010 Carfax 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 15, 2010 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway. There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television. (More...)

Article renaming

In case you have failed to notice, the discussion on Talk:24 Hours of Daytona regarding article titles is still ongoing. It is highly inappropriate to start changing the titles of 2009 24 Hours of Daytona, 2010 24 Hours of Daytona, and 2011 24 Hours of Daytona without discussing these moves, or even waiting for the discussion of the main article to reach its conclusion. Further, your changing throughout several articles to change links from 24 Hours of Daytona to Rolex 24 at Daytona is not necessary, given they both discuss the exact same event and link to the exact same article. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a driver article or any other article linking to 24 Hours of Daytona. Please curb your behaviour and discuss the points raised by myself and other editors on Talk:24 Hours of Daytona. The³5₉ (Talk) 17:45, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Your behaviour at AfD

Hello. Your comments regarding User:Chzz at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WWE Capitol Punishment (2nd nomination) are inappropriate and unhelpful.

A reminder that this warning is still relevant. Saying "forgive my langauge" does not forgive your behaviour. You have consistently used the AFD as a platform to name call and belittle anyone with a differing opinion from yours. Handle discussions in a mature manner. The³5₉ (Talk) 07:25, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

FYI

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to WrestleMania XXVIII: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:11, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

June 2011

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on WrestleMania XXVIII. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 18:12, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 3 days for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

I did nothing wrong and I even stopped before someone left a warning message on my talk page. The IP who was also involved was trying to add information that was completely wrong. Plus I've also been told blogs can't be used as sources and the one he/she was using was more of a prediction of what they'd think would happen. Voices in my Head WWE 19:12, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Whether you were warned or not is irrelevant. You reverted edits seven times in a row, which blows the three revert rule completely out of the water. Furthermore, you misused Twinkle to identify good-faith edits as vandalism, and made no effort to discuss these reversions with the IP editor. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 20:45, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – 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. (More...)

Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.

No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.

We would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

What exact is your issue with me and Money_in_the_Bank_(2011)?

I don't get it at all. You reverted the page when I asked for it to be discussed first. Then you added it to be fully protected claiming there's an edit war/content disupte without trying to talk about it on the talk page (again I asked for that to be done) and then you added the fan link to the page. I have no problems using a different refence so the stipulation can be changed. I explained my point fully in the talk page but you still seem to want to bypass the discussion and put your own spin on the only source we have thus far in the article. Gorlack36 (talk) 01:11, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey, just so you know, according to my talk page there was a reply here but I didn't see one or one in the edit history so if you replied, can you do it again, please? Gorlack36 (talk) 01:26, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Just so you know I have commented on you request for Page Protection. It is un needed there is no ongoing edit war take it to the talk page before both of you are banned for edit waring.--SteamIron 01:34, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

This is the problem! Apart from the one guy who was talking to me there, nobody seems to see that I requested we talk about it. Despite being told by mabdul in chat I should should change the edit and leave a talk page note explaining/asking, Nascarking came along and decided to ignore my request to discuss it so I reverted that but obviously it'll be an edit war if I revert it again. I'm still not getting any feedback about why my version is incorrect. I'm not planning on editing it back but... I feel like I'm in a rut. If I edit it back, it's clearly going to descend into an edit war and if I don't edit it back then I don't get to discuss why it should be changed. Gorlack36 (talk) 01:42, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I would recommend taking Dcheagle's advice before you do end up being blocked because you are both being involved in an edit war, also Gorlack36 you have a history of edit warring under an IP.-- PoliMaster ^talk/_spy 10:09, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Well now, hold up. I get that I did edit war under the IP. I admitted to that. I also made my account to defend myself. If you'll remember on the discussion about removing rollback from me, you'll see it was mentioned that I was more than happy to wait with my new account until the block on the IP had expired. I understand I did wrong. I also understand that punishments are to be given for edit warring. But I think you're not seeing the fully picture. I get exactly why you think it's an edit war but I don't feel it's become that yet. I feel that the only questionable action from me was my last revert on the page after I undid the edit by Nascarking. I was told in chat (by mabdul I think) that it was acceptable to reword the stipulation as I had directly copied the stipulation from an official source (which was against policy). So I reworded it as per advice from the chat room. I felt that was the right thing to do. You'll note that every edit I made (except the one were I edited my own edit to fix a grammar error), I requested each time to discuss it on the talk page. Which only one user did. I got bothered by Nascarking editing it back in. I felt it was rude as both my self and him have been in trouble for the edit war before (I was the IP that edit warred with him). This is why I just let him edit his own take on it and hoped that by contacting him directly on his own talk page, I'd get some sort of dialogue with him since my request to talk about it on the article's talk page was ignored So, apart from editing his edit in the article, I don't see how I did anything wrong. I get you feel you it'll become an edit war. That's why I've been practically begging people to discuss it first on the talk page but so far... they seem to ignore my request and at this point I don't see why we have policies if they're being blatantly ignored.

Justin Allgaier leads the field after the final caution brought out by the spun out car in the background at Road America during the 2011 Bucyrus 200 Nationwide Series race. All that Allgaier had to do was drive slowly under a caution flag around the track but he ran out of the fuel and could not complete the final lap. He only went a few hundred meters (yards) before running out of fuel in the next corner. Second place car Ron Fellows was ruled to have passed the third place car so he was given the second place finish.

Article of the month – 2011 Daytona 500, a new Good Article The 2011 Daytona 500, the 53rd running of the event, was held on February 20, 2011 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida over 200 laps on the 2.5 mile (4 km) asphalt tri-oval. 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. The crowd stood in silence during lap 3 to mark the tenth anniversary of the death of Dale Earnhardt. On lap 30 a multiple accident occurred involving 17 drivers. 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. Immediately after the restart, a sixteenth caution was given. Bayne took the lead on the lap 206 restart and maintained it to win his first NASCAR race and Wood Brothers' fifth Daytona 500. There were 16 cautions and 74 lead changes among 22 different drivers throughout. Following the race, Edwards led the Drivers' Championship with 42 points, one ahead of Gilliland and Bobby Labonte. Ford led the Manufacturer Championship with nine points, three ahead of Toyota and five ahead of Dodge. A total of 182,000 people attended the race, while 15.6 million watched it on television.

WikiCup 2011 July newsletter

We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are Adabow (submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and PresN (submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article (White-bellied Sea Eagle, from Casliber (submissions)) and two featured lists (Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from Another Believer (submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup- watch this space!

There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC. Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seen here and here.
