I was wondering if you'd care to chime in on something Zappa brought to my attention. He and I are torn on whether to include any mention of all the throwback schemes in the 2015 Bojangles' Southern 500 article. There's certainly a lot of fanfare and Zappa says he's got plenty of sources for the schemes, but he and I aren't sure if it's notable enough considering we never track paint scheme changes from one race to the next and the throwback schemes won't affect the outcome of Sunday's race. What's your thoughts?--Nascar king 02:17, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Mind of a Man you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Sorry, I just saw your note at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2006 UAW-Ford 500/archive3. I do understand your frustration (especially since this is the third nomination) but it was actually quite a way off from achieving consensus to promote. I don't know why, but sports articles of all kinds have always struggled to attract attention at FAC. --Laser brain (talk) 11:16, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

The article Mind of a Man you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Mind of a Man for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already been on the main page as an "In the news" or "Did you know" item, you can nominate it to appear in Did you know.

There's probably a template that I'm supposed to give you right now. You probably don't need it, but I will mark the occasion with this note, and a link to the guideline. I tell everyone, be careful with it, it's all too easy to revert to a vandalised version. You're welcome... -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:14, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

@Curly Turkey, Mike Christie, Harrias, 23W, Laser brain, ZappaOMati, and Nascar1996: @Z105space, Zwerg Nase, Nascarking, and Jahn1234567890: I completely understand if you all are busy, but if you have the time, I'd appreciate you giving the above article a thorough review. It's currently on its FOURTH FAC nomination and while it can be argued that the prose was the main reason for its first failure, neither of the first two really garnered that much support. The third saw more attention but it still wasn't enough, so if you need something to do, I would greatly appreciate your help here. Thanks, --Bentvfan54321 (talk) 18:30, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

The article Arthur Chu you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Arthur Chu for things which need to be addressed. Message delivered by Legobot, on behalf of Cirt -- Cirt (talk) 01:20, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
Please, consider reviewing at least two (2) articles at Good article nominations, for every one that you nominate.
Thank you,
Hi. You've done well in getting the article on Arthur Chu up to Good Article. As a fan of some of the stuff he's done, I'd like to give a quick thanks. Thanks! PeterTheFourth (talk) 04:50, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bentvfan54321, I've noticed you adding the Wikiproject Motorsport tag to a large number of American racing articles, together with the American Open Wheel Racing one. As a general rule of thumb, it is not always necessary to add the tag of the parent Wikiproject (WP Motorsport) on the talk page if the article in question is wholly within the remit of a child project. So for example, an article about an Indycar race would only need the WP American Open Wheel Racing tag, while one for a driver who also competed outside of America needs to have both tags. It is, of course, entirely harmless to add both to an article, and it certainly isn't wrong, but it may make your job easier in the future if you only add the one when necessary.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 16:58, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bentvfan54321, It was me who edits Kyle Busch's NASCAR results all the time. I think you are wrong - that different colors are for positions 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-43. It doesn't matter if the driver finished the race or not as you said (regular visitor doesn't care anyway, he wants to see just that finishing position). And by the way - I edited all Kyle Busch's results and no one but you claimed it's wrong. And for example, take a look at 2008 Nationwide Series race at Kentucky (No. 16) - Kyle finished 30th, he wasn't running at the finish and the color is different than at 2015 Xfinity Series race at Homestead (No. 33) and no one cares. So what's the problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mannoroth81 (talk • contribs) 11:13, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
I see. Sorry about that continuous changing all the time then. I was wrong and I'm gonna fix Kyle Busch's results soon. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mannoroth81 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Bentvfan. I created the article linked above and wanted to thank you for the updates and improvements. In particular, this edit caught my attention, as those are accessibility features seen in featured lists. If you're ever looking for something to do, those of us who frequent the featured list process would be interested in what you could do, if that edit is any indication. There are currently no FLs related to NASCAR or American open-wheel racing, making for rare gaps in our sports FL collection. Between individual race winners (Daytona 500, Indianapolis 500, etc.), season champions, all-time leaders, award recipients, halls of fame, and other categories, there's a lot of potential high-quality articles out there. I don't know how interested you may be in this type of editing, but if you can reformat a table like that, you're capable of making a table in an FL, and I don't see that often among editors with no previous involvement at FLC. It's something that I wanted to note and commend. While I'm here, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Giants2008 (Talk) 01:16, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
I'm old school and want to use the past tense when talking/writing about things that happened in the past. Either I'm just noticing it more lately or people really are more often using the present tense for everything which I find unnecessarily confusing. Your comment when changing my change from 'was' to 'is' had the acronym MOSTV which I don't recognize. I'd love to hear your thoughts, references, etc. behind your 'is'. Thanks! MiriamPschtto (talk) 21:49, 29 December 2015 (UTC)MiriamPschtto .................... Answered my own question re: MOSTV. I'm not crazy about using the present tense as laid out in the style guide but such is life. Thanks again. MiriamPschtto (talk) 22:01, 29 December 2015 (UTC)MiriamPschtto
