IDRIVE

Thank you for your support of This week's Improvement Drive. This week Spice trade was selected to be improved to featured article status. Hope you can help…

Welcome back!

Hey, I was wandering past Talk:A1 Grand Prix, and I saw your handle. Long story short, I was wondering, "where have I seen that before?" Ran across Radical Bender's talk page, and then it dawned on me, "Woah! Recury! Creator of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject NASCAR!" Once I realized that, I had to say: Welcome back, hope you'll stop by the WikiProject and see what you started, (and hopefully add even more to it), and please, join the A1 Grand Prix WikiProject, you're already to a great start! -slowpokeiv 02:25, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

• Cool, you guys have done an awesome job with the NASCAR WikiProject after I sort of abandoned it. I'll stop by the A1 GP one and see if I can help. Recury 19:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Kwaidan

Hi! I just thought I should let you know that I am moving your article Kwaidan to Kwaidan (film), for disambiguation purposes, as well as the fact that k(w)aidan is essentially a generic word for a Japanese ghost story (or a Western story that draws on this genre) and can denote things like the story of Okiku and J-Horror like Ringu and Ju-on. You may thus wasnt to fix the link on your User page to reflect the fact that you wrote Kwaidan (film), not Kwaidan. Good editting! elvenscout742 15:08, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

• Works for me! Recury 19:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Idaho (band)

Thanks for adding Idaho to the list of bands named after places. I was surprised we didn't have an article for them, so I created a stub. They're a really good band, as I remember (though it was about ten years ago when I last heard them). dbtfz 19:35, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Cool, I couldn't really remember much about them except for the name or else I would have made the stub myself. Should there be a disambiguation page at Idaho (disambiguation) or are there not enough things called "Idaho" to warrant that? Or maybe just a link to Idaho (band) from Idaho? Recury 20:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

I just added a disambiguation link to the top of Idaho. I think that should be sufficient, since I don't know of any other things called "Idaho". dbtfz 20:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Yep. No problem. I should have seen that before, guess I was too lazy to do anything about it! :-) --D-Day) 22:14, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

Points-paying

It shouldn't be merged, because auto racing just doesn't work that way. Drivers are not given points per lap. They don't total up the scores at the end to determine a winner. You just can't compare it to golf, baseball, tennis, etc. They don't even refer to the points a driver has as his/her "score". It's just their points. So I just don't think it fits in with the scoring article. It isn't really "scoring" per se. --Woohookitty 01:18, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but that's just too much of a stretch I think to put it all under one article. It's just apples and oranges. I mean, if you include that, then you should also include final standings of the other sports as "scoring". It isn't scoring. Just a different concept altogether. --Woohookitty 04:01, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Just not sure that's part of "scoring". I think standings should have it's own article, honestly. I don't think it's the same thing as a score. --Woohookitty 05:42, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

But you know, this isn't THAT big of a deal. :) There was a time when I would fight for this kind of stuff tooth and nail, but I avoid conflict at this point. So if you want to add some information in about it at scoring, I won't object though as I said, I prefer that we just write up an article on standings (or "tables" as Europeans call it) and include it there. --Woohookitty 08:04, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Pando

Thanks for commenting on the Pando (Quaking Aspen) article. We are currently trying to have it achieve featured article status. Any input on its peer review would be helpful. Thank you again. Globeism 16:17, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

NASCAR article

I noticed the previous question asking about featured article status. How close is the NASCAR article to featured article status in your mind? It might be a nice opportunity for the WikiProject NASCAR members to work closely together on a project. I've never considered featured article status before (although I was a major contributor/writer of eight DYK articles). It might be a nice project for the off-season to help everyone get their NASCAR fix. Royalbroil 21:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent diligent updates to the NASCAR-related categories, especially changing the USAR Hooters Pro Cup to a series category. It is appreciated. Royalbroil 14:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Erwin George Baker

How come you reverted my edit of removing him from the NASCAR drivers category? He was an Indy driver, and NASCAR's first commish (not a NASCAR driver) as the article states. Please cite a website that shows him as a driver if you can. Do you know of a different NASCAR category that he should be placed in instead? Royalbroil 19:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I just noticed the NASCAR people category and added him to it. Great idea for a category.

Also, would you please review the proposed standards for inclusion in WikiProject NASCAR and comment. Feel free to alter the page as you see fit. I agree that some of the points are ambiguous, but I can't come up with any better wording. Royalbroil 20:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

On a related topic, how about creating another sub-category to Category:NASCAR called "NASCAR terminology" or something like that. Many of the remaining items belong in a category like that (polish victory lap, template, hans device, etc). I think the category NASCAR should be quite empty. Royalbroil 20:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject NASCAR proposed standards

I think you should ask the WikiProject NASCAR members for their opinion with the AWB. They signed up for the WikiProject, so asking for their opinion shouldn't be bad. WikiProject policy should be based on more than my & D-Day's opinion. How does it work for us to get a consensus determination? Is that done by an admin who is removed from the project?

I signed up to be able to use an AWB a few days ago. D-Day recommended it. I wanna give it a try. I haven't been approved yet. Royalbroil 20:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I was surprised when noticed that you haven't voted for the proposed new WikiProject NASCAR standards. Please voice your opinion. Royalbroil 14:41, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Corporate spam

I've made a run at a speedy definition for corporate spam. It's at Misplaced Pages talk:Criteria for speedy deletion - let me know what you think. NawlinWiki 19:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Ummm...

I hate to intrude, but can you explain to me why on earth there is a recepie for McDonald's on your user page? At least on mine, I have a spinning clam... --D-Day 11:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

My Dad works as a Computer Programmer at the McDonald's official headquarters building in Oakbrook, IL. I do not believe McDonald's would like a recipe of theirs to be displayed publicly (It is property of McDonald's and almost definately Copyrighted and Trademarked). Jacnoc 22:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Probably not, but A) it isnt there anymore, B) I didn't put it there and C) it was probably copied off a site on the internet anyway so whatever. Recury 22:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

60 millionth edit!

Board track racing

Actually I just got done moving the article from board track to board track racing (updating the links was my first and thusfar only AWB attempt). The article should parallel dirt track racing, as it was a surface. I think it should be a type of racing like dirt/asphalt track racing. Maybe the article needs somewhat of a rewrite. I'll look at it. I also somewhere found a reference to cinder track racing.

I'm far to young to be considered an expert, although nearly everyone that went to a board track has long since passed. All I know is what I found in reading websites and a few photos. I've been doing some articles on racers from the early 1900's, and the term kept coming up. There were also some images on wikipedia.

Please keep up your incredible job of keeping the auto racing categories in line!!! I still think there should be a category of NASCAR-specific terms, or do you think that makes the encyclopedia a dictionary?

I would love to help collaborate on making the NASCAR and/or NEXTEL Cup article into a featured article. I bet D-Day would too, as D-Day has aspirations of being an admin. I don't aspire to be an admin. Royalbroil 22:07, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Block Notice

You have been blocked for 24 hours for gross incivility. Under no circumstances do you tell another user to "fuck off", especially on that user's Userpage: User:Superbo You know better than this; if you have forgotten, please read up on Misplaced Pages:Civility. I realize you may have been provoked by an impolite edit on your own userpage. I will now block that offender identically. Best wishes, Xoloz 02:06, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Sprint car

You can move "sprint car" to "sprint car racing". I had requested the change from sprint cars to sprint car as a simple capitalization fix. The "sprintcars" article obviously needs to be merged into the "sprint car racing" article, and a redirect. Good calls all the way around, as per usual. I guess even the best contributors get blocked once in a while. I know it's had to be civil with impolite people or vandals sometimes. Oh, well. Royalbroil 05:01, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

About article: European Hit Radio Top 40 (09.07.2006)

You say that this article will be deleted because... "unencyclopedic article, info will change too often" BUT THIS IS A CURRENT WEEK TOP 40 AND EVERY WEEKS TO 40 WILL BE AT DIFFERENT PAGE!!!!!!!!! THIS TOP 40 WILL BE THE SAME EVEN AFTER 100 YEARS!!! ... see here: Number_ones_of_European_Hit_Radio_Top_40_(2006)

... my decision

I see! OK - then delete it ... i will stay in Number ones of European Hit Radio Top 40 (2006) with weekly number-ones and won't dig deeper! :)

Have a nice day! --Digital1 19:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Angry Nintendo Nerd

Good job on the AfD page. I posted a message on his forums trying to clear some of this up, and I'll be watching the page for deleted votes. Also, it's curious to note that the article has already found it's way to the Angry Nintendo Nerd's list of links about him, even though it's 10 days old.

Massive Attack

===>It don't matter to me I'm fine with someone else moving the list, I just went through the article formatting it, and taking that list out of the comments. I have no vested interest in where it is in the article, but it was essentially reproduced twice, so I consolidated it into one list. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 19:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

thank you for reviewing an commenting. I feel the same way about the article. Please don't get involved in this non-dispute. I'll probably leave it as it is. It was much worse before I made some editing. THANKS!! --Royalbroil 21:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

External links on Dirt Track Racing article

I was editing a spam link off of the Dirt track racing article. I looked over all the external links, and I think most links fail the WP:SPAM concept. I think the only links that should be kept are: 1) possibly Whowon.com, 2) the following Dirt track racing associations: DIRT, WoO, IMCA, MARS, World Karting Assocation, plus adding UMP, and 3) Tires - Hoosier, plus add a few such as McCreary/Goodyear/etc. I want a peer review before I do a mass deletion. I will echo this message on the article's talk page. Thank you in advance. --Royalbroil 14:02, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Due to your involvement in some Wiki pages that regard sports car racing of some sort, I would like to ask for you to look into the proposed WikiProject for Sports Car Racing. Any help you may have to offer to the project will be greatly appreciated. The359 03:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

List of photographers known for portraying males erotically

Sorry that I left you out of the loop before, but the only name that I found on the Prod was Kungfuadam who deleted it in less that four days and I had not even seen the proposal. I posted to his talk page and after several days when he did not reply, I posted it where I did not realizing that it was the incorrect place. I have responded on the AfD and consider the list very important. I am sensitive to the POV issues and I wouldn't care too much about the exact article title, it had just been changed once, and I don't care so much if it were category or list, but I do believe that there needs to be a grouping of historic photographers that photographed the male in a way that was not openly acceptable at the time. Many of these photographers were not known during their lifetime to have done this photography except to close friends. Much of it has been destroyed and many were socially known and were not free to disclose this work in their generation. This group of persons is important to keep together separate from any photographers who did similar work with female models which is much more prevalent. Your input on how best to archive this would be appreciated. Doc ♬ talk 19:12, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Removal of ancillary links in Metropolis disambiguation page

I don't understand. Are ancillary links not allowed on a disambiguation page? And if they aren't, why did you remove Superman but not King C. Gillette? Robert K S 09:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

"Airplane"?

Hi. You think that "airplane" is "the most common term", do you? Yes... in North America it is. But it is certainly not common in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, or anywhere else in the English-speaking world. Last time I checked, there was only one English-language Misplaced Pages - which has to be shared between all the English speakers of the world (not just those in North America). Therefore compromise terms are necessary. I hope you understand this.

Why are you undoing everything

Just because you don't like some fact about a driver doesn't give you the right to keep erasing that data. The truth of the matter doesn't change.

3RR

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert a single page 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. Luna Santin 03:48, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to DAB page

You changed the description for Strand, Cape Town, however Strand is not in Cape Town, it is quite a long way out of it, so when it is written Strand, Cape Town, it is not the truth. I don't know what to do about this, but that description is incorrect. --Adriaan90 05:07, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
