USAR
Thanks for asking me about my thoughts on a potential USAR article. I listed it because its something obvious that was missing. You can do the article if you want. I had a few things in mind: having a list of champions (like I did in American Speed Association), rookies of the year, a history of the sanctioning body, and a summary of whatever interesting interesting things I find on search engines. There will need to be quite a few redirects with all the names and title sponsors that the series has had. There are lots of drivers to check/fix the links.

Right now I'm concentrating on the Daytona Beach Road Course(as I called on the project's page), so I had no immediate plans to work on the USAR article. The Daytona Beach article is looking like it will be fairly long. It sure is a historic place. I keep finding excellent information on older drivers (early 1900s) that I add to their page.

Please review my comments to you on Scott Pruett's talk page.

Thanks for all you've done on this project. You've done a great job! Royalbroil 01:43, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I finally started an article on USAR in my sandbox. I'm torn what to call the article. Should it be "Hooters Pro Cup", "USAR Pro Cup", "USAR Hooter Pro Cup", etc.? There will need to be quite a few redirects to this article. Please review the article and comment/contribute. Please leave comments on my main userpage under the USAR section (#4). Thx Royalbroil 02:21, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Seemingly random reply
Heh, in response to your question, I'm actually not a Jeff Green fan, nor have I ever been. I suppose that ever since I discovered shockingly that he didn't have an article when I first joined the WikiProject, and since creating it I've just tried to keep it a good, well updated article. I could (and should) be doing the same with other drivers' articles, but time has been a little restrictive as of late; maybe I'll have a chance to go through some of them soon.

I have been a huge Jeff Gordon fan since he was a rookie, though. I have several books on him that I could use to expand that article, too. Truthfully, I have refrained from editing his page (along with other Hendrick-related articles) for fear of possible WP:NPOV problems, but as a St. Louis Rams fan I did fine with The Tackle, so we'll see.

Glad to see my edits are being noticed, though. :-) Keep up the great work yourself, especially with the NASCAR Rookie of the Year and List of NASCAR teams articles! Dom Rem  | Yeah? 00:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Olbermann
Regarding the Bias article and O'Reilly article:

Olbermann DOES start off EVERY SINGLE program with a negative story about President Bush or some other conservative. I challenge anyone to show me an edition where he hasn't

Mike who called into O'Reilly's show WAS a memeber of a group because he was blogging about it on the wingnuts website. Furthermore, he admitted it again when he was interviewed by Olbermann. These are factual, verifiable points.

Why don't we be honest here, instead of trying to spin this article out of neutral bounds?

Three revert rule
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. -- Rhobite 23:14, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikiethics
Hi,

We started a proposal Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.

Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.

Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.

If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...

Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 00:13, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I would love your help.
Hi,

I know you are interested in christianity, and I recently started a new wiki over at wikicities which is on the subject of christianity. Christian Knowledge Base is the site.

The goal is to have a knowledgebase on christianity from a distinctly "C(hristian)POV" rather than the NPOV. It is not meant to be a mere Christian Encyclopedia, but to foster a real sense of community. I'd like to include things like current events, news, stories, and anything that would add to both an understanding of Christianity, but also its enjoyment. I'm looking for help to build a resource that could really enrich the lives of Christians.

I know you are busy but I am actively seeking new sysops/admins to help me build this site up, and I would be positively thrilled if you could contribute in any capacity whatsoever. nsandwich 05:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Review
That would be no problem at all, I'm glad to help. Wikipedia needs reform just as much as the corrupt all-powerful Church did in the dark ages, the situation is ridiculous and is going to slowly eat away at the encyclopedia until there's no one left but egomaniacal administrators and their syncophants.

Esparanzian Civility?
If this (calling fellow-editors 'clueless'), is an example of Esperanza's civility standards, then I'm glad I'm not a member. --Doc ask?  19:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * If admins seem to constantly delete userboxes for no reason, or delete userboxes for fake reasons, then something needs to be said. It'd be one thing if this was a rare occurence, but due to the rather frequent occurence of such deletions, it's time someone stands up for what they believe in. -- D -Day My fan mail. Click to view my evil userboxes 19:15, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Fine, stand up for what you believe in. But don't wear a big green Civility Association  badge and then engage in personal attacks and incivility. I know what I call that.--Doc  ask?  19:24, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Two wrongs don't make a right. Esperanza was formed to build a greater sense of community among Wikipedians. Making snide remarks about others, even if they have been rude, does not help achieve this goal. Johnleemk | Talk 20:02, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Dear Doc, (a) please stop insulting the Esperanza community and using a sarcastic tone against fellow Wikipedians and (b) please explain in what way was D-Day's comment incivil? Thank you, Misza 13 T C 19:45, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I have no problems with Esperanza. I don't intend to insult it - it is a noble idea. But if people put notes in their sigs, and bumper stickers on their userpages advertising their membership of an organisation committed to civility and friendliness, then we can expect them to try to live up to their advertisements - not bring said organisation into disrepute. And frankly, if you can't recognise the problem with calling people 'clueless', then well....--Doc  ask?  19:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with the doc. Not to single D-Day out, but we really need to apply the standards of ESP if we're going to be members. &mdash; Ilyan  e  p  (Talk)  20:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I second that. I respect D-Day, but that green E does mean something. --  Ban  e  z  04:56, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

As the Administrator General of Esperanza, I feel I must comment. Firstly, I would like to say that Esperanza so far has made some pretty good advances in stressbusting and establishing a sense of community, amongst its members at least. Secondly, I would like to make it clear that, as an organisation, we denounce incivility and personal attacks totally. They are unacceptable. In terms of the issue of being an Easperanzian meaning something, there is currently a proposal in the pipeline to deal with situations when they arise. The code of conduct looks to establish a standard of behaviour amongst all members and, we are currently working on getting consensus for this. In the meantime, please bring any untoward behavior to the attention of the Advisory Committee.--Cel es tianpower háblame 19:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

NASCAR Photos
Hey D-Day,I just added a photo under Denny Hamlin. How do you think that it looks? I think all NASCAR pages should have the driver photo like I have Denny Hamlin's, on TOP of the page. Would you mind if I gradually change a few by moving a few photos. Because I think most people would agree with me when I say a driver photo would look nice on the top of each NEXTEL CuP Page. I just think that the pages look horrible with several photos below the article introduction. However I did notice that the 2005 NASCAR NEXTEL CUP box on the side had a line squeezed in 2005 standings I think it was. I wouldn't mind doing this to a few other pages. Let me know. Feedback greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Awards under NASCAR driver pages
Hello,

I think it looks better if people would list the awards in chronological order from oldest to most recent award.

I edited the Rusty Wallace award page section under his page and I added another award and organized it in chronological order.

What do you think of this way? Also would you like all of the driver pages to look like this?

I just think it looks more organized looking from the start of their career to the end of it.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks, Bdman

Recreating deleted content
Hello. It has come to my attention that you have recreated templates that were deleted by administrators as a means of diputing their deletions. I just wanted to let you know that this is not the way that should be done. It is perfectly fine to dispute an administrator's deletion and seek its reversal, especially if you think it is out-of-process, but the proper way to do that is to seek community consensus at WP:DRV for a recreation. I see that you know about DRV, so I just want to ask you to go there first in the future. Recreating deleted content is disruptive and counterproductive, and administrators will simply redelete the content. Additionally, like edit wars, it tends cause unnecessary tension, when a simple DRV listing should do the trick to get the community's input on the matter, and take it out of the hands of both the deleting administrator and the recreator. Thanks for your understanding. :-) Dmcdevit·t 18:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

In addition I'd like to request that you stop bringing every little fracking thing to DRV. It's a waste of our time. We are trying to build an encyclopedia here, and we don't appreciate being fought against tooth-and-nail for deleting off-topic, insipid, and stupid things that really have no place here. -- Cyde Weys 18:44, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Images in WikiProject NASCAR
I noticed that you added several images from flickr today. VERY COOL! I'm concerned that you didn't add enough information about the origin of these photos. I think you need to provide a link to the original flickr image for it to stand up in the image people's minds. I think this is more what they're expecting. I'd hate to see your time wasted because of something little like the summary. The trend seems to be checking each an every image for copyright infringement (as you probably already know very well). I've been adding all the flickr images that I found to WikiCommons. I went through ALL flickr images today (at least the ones that I thought could legally be uploaded to wikipedia). I noticed that we uploaded the same image for Kenseth, so I'll get rid of one of the duplicates. (What's the bull$@%# above about anti-Packers?? - BOOO! :P) I hope you like your new NASCAR barnstar! Royalbroil 01:45, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Pardon me. I was looking at Kahne's image when I made these statements. The Kenseth image was tagged properly. Would you go back to Kahne's image and clear it up? I nominated the Kenseth image for deletion, and swapped in the WikiCommons image. SORRY ABOUT THE CONFUSION! Royalbroil 01:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

The changes at flickr allow you to sort the images by license, so I looked at every single image in both groups that would be allowable to upload to WikiCommons, and I uploaded anything that I thought was beneficial to WikiProject NASCAR to WikiCommons (and added it to the articles). I use the same handle on WikiCommons if you want to look at what I uploaded. There is a single poor image of Harvick's car in the garage that I didn't upload. I didn't consider what could be uploaded to English Wikipedia, only what could be uploaded to WikiCommons, so there may be more that could be uploaded.

Let me know if you ever decide to run for an admin so I can vote for you. I personally know a few other people on here that I would talk for additional support (you might have a clue who I mean). I bet you'd get widespread support with the WikiProject NASCAR member for all that you've done for the project! I'm not interested in being an admin - I don't have the right personality - you saw how frustrated I sometimes get with the stupid hoops you sometimes have to run through to get something mundane done. Royalbroil 19:22, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Been busy helping Barno on the modified article. The image that I used for the barnstar is U.S. Govt. free use image. It looks excellent on the WikiProject NASCAR template, but way too small to be seen on the user box template. I don't know what you mean about using the image for a barnstar image, or how to go about doing that. Its funny that an article that appeared about John Holman was for an Australian politician, not the NASCAR owner! I coordinated with the other author, and set up a dis. page. Royalbroil 04:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Here's how uploading with WikiCommons works. You upload the file to WikiCommons just like you do to Wikipedia. You then access the file the same way that you do with Wikipedia. So I've been uploading all of my images to WikiCommons since there is no difference (if they're ShareAlike, Attribution, or my personal creation). I hope you do the same. I've been adding the Category:NASCAR to all NASCAR photos for easier searching later (it works the same as Wikipedia). Royalbroil 02:12, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available
<div style="border: 1px solid gray; background-color: ;"> After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:16, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * It's better, but on my screen it takes up half a line of text on any line it's on. That seems like a lot.  Maybe make the font size of the "additions" smaller?  that might help. Nandesuka 17:07, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

On sig and editing comments
Please do not edit other peoples comments, even if is only to correct spelling mistakes. Talk page guidelines outlines this.

Also, when you re-inserted your sig, you changed the date of your comment, making it look like what you posted occurred after the reply. Please do not do that, as it breaks the sense of the conversation. Regards, MartinRe 14:03, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your reply, it's nice to be told I'm polite, especially by someone I'm disagreeing with at the time :)
 * Wrt to your sig, if it gets trimmed down, I'd suggest leaving it be. Yes, I think adjusting someone else sig is unnecessary, but I do also find long sigs to be difficult to work with when editing. Me, I prefer the simple style :)
 * As to the userbox issue, I am finding there is a lot of confusion about what "deletion from template space" means. It doesn't mean that userboxes will go away, just that they won't be in template space. For example, look at my user page. See the nice three userboxes? I simply converted User Irish to use userbox layout, but my page still looks the same (and I can tweak to look exactly how I want with affecting anyone else). So now if User Irish gets deleted, my page is unchanged, I'm happy, and people wanting userboxes out of template space are happy. Everyone's happy! That's why I find it hard to understand why people object to moving userboxes out of template space. They're not being "deleted", as the user pages will be still look the same, in fact there's a major advantage, as if I remained with User Irish that would mean that if anyone vandalised that template, my page would change, along with 100's of others. So, as far as I can see, there are many advantages to moving them to user space, with very few disadvantages (the only one being is that the source is a little longer in the user page, but how often do people edit their user page anyway?) Regards, MartinRe 14:28, 27 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hello again. it was good to see your comment that you were going to switch to userbox (and no, I don't think that classes as using template space). If you have any problems, please let me know, and I can show how to do one or two, and the rest will be same (all the documentation is at userbox) Plus, by doing so, you'll learn how to cutomise them yourself, if you so choose.

Anyways, there's a lot more than just the signature issue. Cyde just crossed the line (see his talk) and attacked me and my mood disorder in one fell swoop. I don't need to be around that at all. I was going to just go away from Wiki, but that would be uhm..letting him win...or something. Anyway, I'll try to stay away from him.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:23olbermannplug.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:23olbermannplug.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cholmes75 (chit chat) 13:57, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. You removed from the Phil Collins article the fact that he said he would return to Britain if the Conservatives won the 1997 election. I wondered why. Sorry if this is not the correct way to contact you, I am new to this.

This is from the BBC news website: "Oasis frontman Gallagher was quoted on MTV recently as still backing Labour - albeit partly because if the Conservatives get in, "Phil Collins is threatening to come back and live here. And let's face it, none of us want that"."
