Dealing with vandalism
Thanks for pointing out that vandal to me. If you would like to learn how to deal with vandalism yourself, you can find the policy here: WP:VAND --Bill 20:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
First off, I apologize for calling you a vandal in that edit summary. I thought it was the earlier vandal who had deleted the link to the Jayski page. The link to the Jayski's article (which I did create a couple days back) should stay, as should the link to it in the external links. It's a popular, well-known website, and I've heard it mentioned many times by drivers on TV. I believe that it merits inclusion, as does the article on the website itself. -- SonicAD (talk) 05:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

In addition, I should also note that if you search for NASCAR on Google, Jayski's is the #2 result. It's not spam, it's a relevant link. -- SonicAD (talk) 05:16, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, the rest of the links weren't top 10... I propose to keep the link to the Jayski article itself on the NASCAR page right now, but to do a straw poll on the talk page to see what people think about the link to the website itself on the NASCAR page. -- SonicAD (talk) 05:34, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Can you at least keep the link to the Jayski article in? There's no reason not to include it, though if you believe it shouldn't be here I invite you to nominate it for deletion.-- SonicAD (talk) 05:50, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I noted it in my talk page, but I ask to please rescind the "last warning." I was not the one to re-add the link to the Jayski page.-- SonicAD (talk) 06:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Please stop
Using the test tags. They are meant to stop vandalism, not just edits you happen to disagree with. If you continue to use them in a reckless manner, you will be blocked. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 06:07, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Per Woohookitty above, the test tags are intended to stop vandalism and not edits which you disagree with.
 * NASCAR has been temporarily protected from editing, so addition of SPAM links should not continue.
 * You are welcome to propose deletion of any article which you see fails to establish notability per our guidelines. Since Jayski's Silly Season Site fails to establish notability per WP:WEB as far as I can make out, I have listed it for deletion, and you are welcome to add your input to the deletion discussion.


 * Looks like a few sysops were dealing with this at once, a cursory review of SonicAD's edits do not appear to be vandalistic. It is fine to disagree with an articles existance, and Jayski's Silly Season Site has been listed for a deletion debate, feel free to join in on it.  xaosflux  Talk  / CVU  17:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
