Huggle
When you put an edit summary on Huggle, how does HG appear on the edit summary?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   18:11, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The system automaticly does it, but you can do the like

. Here is the format: (HG).  Nascar  1996   18:16, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it is automatically added to edits made with Huggle. Even the reverts with a custom edit summary have the (HG) added to them. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  18:52, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I tried to reply on my user talk page with Huggle, but the HG didn't appear in the edit summary.  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   19:24, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * In this edit, the HG was included in the edit summary.  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   19:29, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I added that HG. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:51, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Not a typo
This looks like a false positive (compare 178,000 results to 1,860). Be sure not to accept AWB's typo fixes unless you are sure it is accurate. – xeno talk 20:49, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Today is my first day using AWB. Thanks for pointing that out. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:51, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, let me know if I can be of any assistance. I reported the false positive to WT:AWB/T. – xeno talk 20:52, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

A question
Hello, NSD. On the NASCAR race articles, am I only suppose to link a name in the article once, or in each section? When I am using AWB, it warns me if there are repeated links.  Nascar  1996   21:45, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * From WP:REPEATLINK:
 * In general, link only the first occurrence of an item. There are exceptions to this guideline, including these:


 * where the later occurrence is a long way from the first.
 * where the first link is in an infobox, navbox or similar meta-content.
 * where the links are in a table, as each row should stand on its own.


 * I haven't tried using the feature of AWB that removes repeated links. Hopefully the above helps. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  00:38, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
 * It does, and thanks. I still have a question, from the introduction to the ending of the post-race be too long away from the original?  Nascar  1996   00:51, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

St.philomena's
Dear User How did you know that the St.philomena's wikipedia page was being edited? and did someone ask you to monitor it? thankyou for doing so —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.196.125 (talk) 20:17, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I am using a tool called Huggle. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:21, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * so it notifies you of changes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.196.125 (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. It scans the recent changes feed. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  20:27, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Can the IP address be deleted from edited articles so that i can be left un identified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hemcouture (talk • contribs) 21:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Ok change of request can you delete this ip address 92.27.196.125 off the St.philomena's article "edit history". I believe that you would be far more able than me as you probably know how to manually delete things where as I haven't a clue! I would pay you if I could! Thankyou! hemcouture —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hemcouture (talk • contribs) 21:35, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't have the power to revision delete your IP from the contribution list. You can ask an administrator to do it for you, but I don't think they will. Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia! ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  01:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Good or bad?
Did the changes I made to Red Bull Racing Team good or bad? Do you think its better with the car descriptions or season by seaso, and finaly, does it read like a news article? I would like your opinion. Thanks  Nascar  1996   03:43, 23 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it looks good with the season by season prose, and it does not read like a news article in my opinion. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  01:59, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I believe it works better, too. The car by car didn't make that much sense in my opinion. I did it to this article because most of the others will take days to do, such as Hendrick Motorsports.  Nascar  1996   02:03, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

HG vs. GLOO
What do you think is better: HG or GLOO?  Wayne Olajuwon  chat   23:23, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Formatting
Hello, when I was creating the newest section for the NASCAR portal, Portal:NASCAR/Championship standings, I wanted the third table to be below the others in the middle. However, it would squeeze inbetween the others. That table is hidden, and I was wondering if you would know how to fix it. Also, do you believe we should add colors to the tables that are similar to the portal colors? Thanks.  Nascar  1996   02:17, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. I fixed the issue. Do you believe 2010 Price Chopper 400 is ready for GAN? If it is, why not you nominate it. I have two others (2010 Sylvania 300 & 2010 AAA 400) in the process.  Nascar  1996   14:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I've nominated it. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  03:23, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * For the restrictor plate tracks (which has a lead change every lap), how would I write a good prose for them. Should I just ignore those races (except for the Daytona 500)?  Nascar  1996   17:51, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * You could write something similar to 2010 Coke Zero 400. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  18:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

I may be able to do that for the 500, I'm not going to be able to finish this race.  Nascar  1996   18:10, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I may be able to finish it, after I double checked my scheduled.  Nascar  1996   18:20, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
 * OK. ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  19:18, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

For you...

 * Thanks! ~  Nerdy Science  Dude  12:58, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
