Hello, I see you have made some improvements to Citrus Bowl.

I notice the article contains this statement, "The most recent was The Rolling Stones in December 1997." Is that still up to date? There hasn't been a major concert there for at least 10 years? If that is false it should be updated. If it is true then it would be interesting if we could explain why this venue is no longer hosting major concerts. Best, Johntex\^talk 00:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

I saw that you created a section on the Pepsi 400 article on the Paul Revere/Brumos Porsche 250. I have created a notice on the Pepsi 400 page that this section should be split into a new Article at Brumos Porsche 250 and a redirect to Brumos Porsche 250 made from Paul Revere 250 in keeping in line with WP:Name. I welcome your comments on the proposal talk at Talk:Pepsi_400#Paul_Revere.2FBrumos_Porsche_250_Split_Discussions. Sawblade05 ^{(talk to me | my wiki life)} 08:25, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I contested the speedy deletion and left a message to the nominator about slowing down the pace of nominating a little bit to give an author more than 2 minutes to work on an article. You should do things a little differently too. The best option is to develop an article in a user sandbox subpage before you copy it to mainspace. Here's the directions. I develop all of my articles in my sandboxes. A less popular option is to initially mark the article as {{inuse}} if you are actively editing the article, or as {{underconstruction}} if you plan to develop it over a few days.

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sid Collins, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rtphokie (talk) 23:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hey; Did they say during the episode that Kelley was halfway up the mountain with the scales? Because it was fairly clear from the shot that you could see the base camp with the other team still at the gold table in the background as the first team reached Kelley. That was my reason for writing a "short way" up the path, or whatever I said. I thought I'd listened for whether they said where he was, but I didn't hear anything.

Hi Doc, hope all is well in your world. I was working with User:Royalbroil, and he mentioned the possibility of bumping up the Daytona 500 pole position winners to WP:FL status. I looked through the article, and thought it was some great work, so I (we) have been looking for the right references to go in that direction. I wanted to mention that I appreciate your work on that article, and mention that we are going to try to head in that direction. If you have any resources that would help, links or anything, we'd be happy to do the tedious work of formatting per WP:CITE and improve the rating of the article. If you'd just rather follow along, that's fine too, so you may want to put it on your watchlist. Again, thanks for all the great work you've put into the article. As always, it's great to meet another race fan. ;) — Ched :  ?  18:25, 4 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

I've been coaching Ched to understand how the process works. One thing that I brought up is that I think some of the information in the article is too far off-topic, failing WP:TRIVIA. So please watch the article's talk page and give your $0.02. I know you put a lot of effort into the article and I hate suggesting removing some of the content. Obviously I won't suggest it if I didn't think it was necessary. Royalbroil 12:21, 19 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Is there any way to fix it, to include such stat? I had originally decided to try to include it when I had to count, by hand, where someone was located on the list, and saw that as the very definition of needing a new column. Unfortunately, lumping multiple entries together on a sortable table might be the very root of it, and I see no way to differentiate what would place one given 12-race-winner ahead of another.

Here's a blast from the past: back on 14 November 2007, you edited the A Christmas Story articled and added a reference for a couple statements. The original url is totally dead but in the meantime, somebody archived the site. Unfortunately, the archive link is also useless and the desired information is not to be found there. It seems like the reference will need to be deleted as unverifiable. Yet I am curious about the ref name that you gave of "Orlando Sentinel microfilm". Did you actually use microfilm to find the listings originally? If so, perhaps the reference could be repaired to be in a better state.

Thanks for uploading File:JerrySneva1979.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

I'm currently working on the article for Austrailian-American motor racing broadcaster Leigh Diffey and the article lacks an image. I'm not sure how many IndyCar races you've been to over the years, and I'm sure it's unlikely, but would you happen to have a photo of him anywhere that we could use in his article?

Greetings—just a friendly disagreement with this edit. Despite what Unser Jr. says in the interview, that is clear as day not a thumbs up that he gives to Fittipaldi—more like a sarcastic gesticulation. This source supports it: "... walked to the edge of the track and gave Fittipaldi a mocking gesture of congratulations" However, there is also this source which suggests that Unser Jr.'s gestures were misinterpreted. Perhaps the article could be reworded to mention both? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 21:40, 24 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

As for Andy Granatelli's #40 Turbine on display in the Speedway Museum being a replica built from the original blueprints (just like Rufus' #98 `63 winner in the Museum), I can only go by what Andy Granatelli told me, while he was seated next to Dennis Miller, at the `02 or `03 public drivers' meeting (I forget which year). But, if you think you know more than the guy who built both cars, I'm not going to get into a pissing contest with you: It's just Wikipedia. Discpad (talk) 20:33, 24 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

No, it was not the Schaefer 500: They were the race sponsor for the first race at Pocono in 1971 (won by Mark Donohue for Roger Penske's first Champ Car win), the 1972 race was the Van Scoy Diamond Mine 500, and the 1973 race was the Domino's Pizza 500; and if my rusty memory is correct, they kept up the sponsorship for several more years, into the early 1980's. I was atthose races, too; and in fact Domino's brought a 40' mobile pizza kitchen trailer.

Incidentally, my first Indy 500 was in 1967 when Rufus piloted the #40 STP turbine; and our family seats were in Paddock Box 10, row J, seats 1, 2, 3, & 4; and in `73, Granatelli's 3 pits of Swede Savage (killed), Graham McRae, whose pit crewman Armondo Teran was killed as I watched, and eventual winner Gordon Johncock.

Even though I was just 12, the 1973 Indy 500 still resonates around The Speedway; and next year will be the 50th anniversary. This is about the best look-back I've found so far. Discpad (talk) 01:10, 3 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

For the record, here is a copy of the 1973 Pocono 500 program IMAGE Doctorindy↔Talk 13:59, 3 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

My memory is hazy; and I'll definitely concede that Schaefer Beer was the `73 title sponsor; but I remember Van Scoy Diamond Mines was a race sponsor after Schaefer departed; and that after that, Domino's was the sponsor, as they brought a 40' trailer outfitted as a mobile pizza parlor to feed the fans en masse.

Incidentally, the `73 race was (in)famous for another reason: AJ got caught cheating in post-race because (read carefully!) his fuel tank held 44 gallons! Discpad (talk) 01:56, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
