User:The Cleanup Kid
Just a friendly notice. Apparently the user you've encountered is claiming the other users who've reverted the user's edits to be sock-puppets. Note his contribs. [1]--UnquestionableTruth-- 08:31, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Your harassment
This is your only warning to cease further harassment of me with canned responses for new editors, and false claims of vandalism. Any further harassment from you will be dealt with accordingly. You are acting like a bully. The Cleanup Kid (talk) 04:08, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- Im sorry but that is not harassment you continue to removed sourced info from a lot of articles with out any discussion continue in removal will result in your blocking. Have a wonderful day.--Steam Iron 04:13, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Carfax 400, a recent good article
The 2010 Carfax 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on August 15, 2010 at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan. Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway. There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television.

WWE
Where does it belong then? Also, instead of just reverting and hence removing the table why not move it to where it belongs? Someone has invested a lot of time in making that table. I myself just spent quite a while making the table look presentable; only to be greeted by an edit conflict. Your decision to revert has resulted in a net loss of time and effort to the project. — Fly by Night (talk) 09:43, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- To answer your question the table in question is not needed cause A. thats not the place for it. B. such tables are on all wwe title pages. Have a wonderful day.--Steam Iron 10:15, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – Alan Kulwicki, selected as a good article
Alan Dennis Kulwicki (December 14, 1954 – April 1, 1993), nicknamed "Special K" and the "Polish Prince", was an American NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series) racecar driver. He started racing at local short tracks in Wisconsin before moving up to regional stock car touring series. Kulwicki arrived at NASCAR, the highest and most expensive level of stock car racing in the United States, with no sponsor, a limited budget, and only a racecar and a borrowed pickup truck. Despite starting with meager equipment and finances, he earned the 1986 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award over drivers racing for well-funded teams. After Kulwicki won his first race at Phoenix International Raceway, he debuted what would become his trademark "Polish Victory Lap". Kulwicki won the 1992 Winston Cup championship by what was then the closest margin in NASCAR history. He died early in 1993 in a light aircraft accident, and was unable to defend his championship. He has been inducted into numerous racing halls of fame and was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers. Kulwicki was known for being a perfectionist and doing things his own way. An engineer by trade, his scientific approach to NASCAR racing inspires the way teams are now run. Despite lucrative offers from top car owners, he insisted on driving for his own race team, AK Racing, during most of his NASCAR career. Described by his publicist as "a real hard type of person to get to know", he remained a bachelor throughout his life.

Article of the month – Auto Club Speedway, a recent good article
Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch.Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 the track will host only one NASCAR weekend.

Million Dollar Championship
WWE.com is not a reliable souce to WWE titles anymore? Are you crazy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.89.67 (talk) 04:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes but you haven't provided anything to 1)Say its a sanctioned title and 2) that its retired.--SteamIron 04:06, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- You are putting words on my mouth. 1)I never said it is a sanctioned title. I said it is unsanctioned. I just said that is recognized by WWE as a title. 2)If you see the animation on the Million Dollar Championship history page on WWE.com you will see that the title was abandoned after Ted DiBiase reign. Abandoned = retired. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.89.67 (talk) 04:12, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
- WWE has never recognized it as a title the page even says that and just because its abandoned doesnt mean its retired.--SteamIron 04:16, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

WWE has never SANCTIONED the title! But it is RECOGNIZED! "The Million Dollar Championship is the most extravagant and expensive championship in WWE history.". If it takes part in WWE history it has RECOGNITION. It has an official history page (http://www.wwe.com/inside/wwefeaturepage/features/milliondollarlegacy/) and is RECOGNIZED as a title on Million Dollar Man (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame/inductees/themilliondollarman/bio/) and Ted DiBiase (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/teddibiase/bio/) bios! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.89.67 (talk) 04:31, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

- Nothing in that says its retired all it says is that he refused to take it back that's not retiring it--SteamIron 04:42, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
If he refused who is using it now? Who is the current champion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.89.67 (talk) 04:45, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

FCW
Man, it was an error! December, 13th was a Monday! FCW never do shows on Mondays or Tuesdays because some wrestlers appears on the live Raw and on the NXT and Smackdown tapings! Just look their live event schedule (http://www.fcwwrestling.info/events.html)! Just Fridays ans Saturdays (and one Wednesday)! And on Thursdays are made the tapings for the TV show each three weeks on FCW Arena! Thanks for your attention! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.12.88 (talk) 17:05, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Hi I have once again reverted your edits the source states the 13th not the 16th if you find a source that says other wise I will be happy to change it but till a source is found it must stay with what is sourced.--SteamIron 17:13, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Man, just Google it and you see! Everyone who helps to improve the FCW article knows that are no shows on Monday and Tuesdays! If you doubt me about the day that the title changed hands just do a Google search and tell me which day appears! One more thing: look on the index of FCW official site (http://www.fcwwrestling.info/index.html) and tell me which taping day appears on the gif (http://www.fcwwrestling.info/images/fcw_slideshow.gif). It is on the picture of Mason Ryan. I can be wrong but here appears to be Thursday. Thanks for the attention again.

- None of the links you provide say that she won the title on December 16th and thats what you need to find all the sources that I have found say December 13th. And the source provieded stats that is what Ashley Valence does find me a source that says other wise and I will changed it.--!SteamIron 17:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Sources for Ashley Valence? Do you watch TV? Ashley Valence did not appear on NXT since the Divas season ended! And she is ring announcer on Superstars now for the two brands! Even the Superstars article on Wikipedia says it! Go watch some TV! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.12.88 (talk) 17:43, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Just watching tv is not a source You need to find a source that says so I watch all of wwe tv programs but do we have a third party source that states shes doing the thing in superstars till we do it stays at what it is. Ive been trying to find a source that stats it but as of right now one cant be found.--SteamIron 17:47, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Just some examples: http://www.diva-dirt.com/2010/12/17/new-fcw-divas-champion-crowned/ From 17th, December and says "last night". http://www.sescoops.com/wrestling-news/wwe/shaul-guerrero-debuts-at-fcw-wwe-not-interested-in-samoa-joe/ The same thing. http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/wwe/WWE_Developmental_News_Guerrero_s_1st_Appearance_Title_Change_Spoiler_Tarver_Returns.html The same thing with a more complete report about the night. http://www.mywrestlingforum.com/showthread.php?p=125540 In here that are no date but says that Naomi held the championship for 189 days (not 186). And there is no report on 13th, 14th or 15th of the title changing hands! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.12.88 (talk) 18:11, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
PS: One more: http://flrankings.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=gotopost&board=general&thread=15610&post=146509 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.12.88 (talk) 18:18, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Per WP:Sources all the above source's you provided are un reliable mostly because there forum websites. I still can not find a source that have been proving reliable that say December 16th. I say just wait a few days and see if any thing pops up its not like its the end of the world its just a three days difference that can be changed at any point. I will keep looking and if I find any that are Reliable ill make the changes.--SteamIron 19:00, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
I sent an e-mail to info@FCWwrestling.com (http://www.fcwwrestling.info/contact.html) but I doubt that they will read it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.12.88 (talk) 19:22, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
- Ok well if you get a reply let me know--SteamIron 02:12, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
BWAHAHAHAHAH! They read my e-mail, guy! Look it up: http://www.fcwwrestling.info/talent.html They correct the page!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I told you before the taping are always on Thursdays! Believe me next time!
- Ok I see you have made the necessary changes then no need no brag I know the taping are on Thursday but just because of that doesn't mean it will be changed as Ive said this whole time we need reliable sources which at the time there were none now there is.--SteamIron 10:05, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Sylvania 300, a recent Good Article
The 2010 Sylvania 300 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 19, 2010, at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, New Hampshire. The 300 lap race was the twenty-seventh in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the first race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. Clint Bowyer, of the Richard Childress Racing team, won the race, with Denny Hamlin finishing second, and Jamie McMurray third. Pole position driver Brad Keselowski maintained his lead in the first lap, but in the second lap Tony Stewart pulled ahead. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, and Hamlin were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Hamlin was the only one to recover and finish in the top five. With two laps remaining, Tony Stewart was leading the race when he ran out of fuel, giving the lead to Bowyer, who also led the most laps in the race with 176. There were eight cautions and twenty-three lead changes among eight different drivers during the race. The race was Clint Bowyer's first win in the 2010 season, and the third of his career. The result advanced Bowyer to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Hamlin and ten ahead of Kevin Harvick, but because of a penalty three days after the race, he fell to twelfth in the standings. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-two points ahead of Toyota and seventy-four ahead of Ford, with nine races remaining in the season. A total of 95,000 people attended the race, while 3.68 million watched it on television.

Be civil!
We don't know each other, but after looking at User_talk:Nascarking I want to encourage you to be more civil towards other editors! Especially when it comes to editing conflicts. If you are having a problem with another users' edits, always try to contact the user first to sort out the issue or try dispute resolution to sort out the problem and be careful of the three-revert rule.

Article of the month – 2010 Ford 400
The 2010 Ford 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on November 21, 2010 at Homestead Miami Speedway in Homestead, Florida. The 267 lap race was the thirty-sixth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the final race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Carl Edwards for the Roush Fenway Racing team. Jimmie Johnson finished second, and Kevin Harvick clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Edwards, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the fourth lap, Edwards became the leader of the race. Hamlin, the points leader, before the race, spun sideways early in the race, resulting with damage to his splitter. Afterward on lap 73, Martin Truex, Jr. became the leader, but after the final pit stops Edwards was first. He maintained the lead to win the race, after leading 192 laps. There were ten cautions and 25 lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Edwards' second win in the 2010 season, with the other being only one week earlier during the Kobalt Tools 500. Jimmie Johnson won the Drivers' Championship, 39 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. Johnson's team owner, Rick Hendrick won the Owners' Championship, and Chevrolet won the Manufacturer Championship with 261 points, 44 points ahead of Toyota. A total of 67,000 people attended the race, while 5.605 million watched it on television.

Sorry for the Edit War
I am sorry for the edit war, I'm now trying to help the user to check for reliablity for his sources he is trying to add on Lucky Cannon . He thinks his links are reliable, while I doubted them. So I asked on the WikiProject for answers for his sites.--Mikeymike2001 (talk) 04:31, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Barri Griffiths. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue.
In particular, the three-revert rule states that:
- Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
- Editors violating the rule will usually be blocked for 24 hours for a first incident.
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording, and content that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ② 06:50, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Del City High School Page
Hello, I am so happy you started working on the Del City High School Page. All the info I have added it true and reliable. I work at the school and all the stuff I have added is reliable because they were written by the actual sponsor/advisor. If you go to the Del City High School Website, everything I added is true. I do that website too.
When I first saw the page, all I saw was the controversy section under school (it kinda overshadowed everything else) and I wanted the public to know that Del City High School is more than controversy. I was happy to see the whole story was apart of it that the kids did fight for the school. That is why I started adding stuff.
I figure since the school website was already a source on the page, then I would not have to really add sources.
One question I have is why did you take off the alma mater and the school song I added. The alma mater and fight song is played at every pep rally and at the end of every football game. It is really important to Del City Students and Alumni.
Thanks in advance for helping me since I am new to wikipedia.
02:48, 10 February 2011 (UTC)Delcityeagle (talk)
- The info may be true and reliable but there's still the problem of there not being any third party reliable sources to back up this info and as it looks right now the Info appears to be original research and even thought the Web Site is all ready listed as a source to a number of things there still needs to be other reliable sources to back up what you have added. As for the lyrics there not allowed on Wikipedia and that's why I removed them. One good place to look at for help and Article Guidelines is Here take a look at that and read reliable sources and No original research at the links above and if you have any other questions fell free to ask me.--SteamIron 03:06, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
187.15.x.x update
Just so that you know, I have reported this IP for edit warring. He was blocked for 24 hours, then another 72 for continuing the edit war from a different IP during the block, then 2 weeks for continued block hopping (see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/187.15.30.150). I am hoping this will put an end to the unreliable sources on Lucky Cannon, Taylor Rotunda, and Barri Griffiths. If he continues during the block, though, it should be reported to an administrator (I'll take care of it if I notice anything). GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:06, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit war and WWEJobber
I've actually stop edit warring with WWEJobber because I gave up doing my job of improving the template. WWEJobber doesn't like being warned because he removes warnings from his talk page.

Article of the month – 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, a good article.
The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill-handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season.

Pls don't tag arts like Qaqet language as unref'd. The link to SIL is a ref. — kwami (talk) 09:37, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Hello Dcheagle. Thanks for patrolling new pages - it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know however, regarding Lego Film Productions, that tagging articles for speedy deletion moments after creation as lacking context (CSD A1) or content (CSD A3), and articles being created through Article Wizard, is too fast. It's best to wait at least 10 - 15 minutes for more content to be added, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), and copyright violations (G12) should of course be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.
Salvio Let's talk about it! 10:19, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
Big 12 conference
"The SEC official said there was still a 30 percent to 40 percent chance the Aggies would not get enough votes for an invitation to the league, The Times reported" Try again on the "nowhere does it say anything about a vote". Before a team can get an ivintation to a conference, all teams within the conference must approve the new team, to recieve the invitation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rockchalk717 (talk • contribs) 23:27, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand. The link has a new record... The record he held is broken. 89.100.20.87 (talk) 22:42, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) But it's still something he accomplished at that time. Jarkeld (talk) 22:55, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
- As Jarkeld has said its accomplishment that he got at the time just because it was broken doesn't mean that he never accomplished it in the first place it needs to be reworded but other then that its fine.--Dcheagle 23:24, 20 August 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – Tim Richmond, a good article
Tim Richmond (June 7, 1955 - August 13, 1989) was an American race car driver from Ashland, Ohio. He competed in IndyCar racing before transferring to NASCAR's Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series). Richmond was the first driver to change from open wheel racing to NASCAR stock cars, which has since become an industry trend. He won the 1980 Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year award and had 13 victories during eight NASCAR seasons. Richmond achieved his top NASCAR season in 1986 when he finished third in points. He won seven races that season, more than any other driver on the tour. When he missed the season-opening Daytona 500 in February 1987, media reported that he had pneumonia. The infection most likely resulted from his compromised immune system, which had been weakened by AIDS. The disease would drastically shorten his life. Despite the state of his health, Richmond competed in eight races in 1987, winning two events and one pole position before his final race in August of that year. He attempted a comeback in 1988 before NASCAR banned him for testing positive for a banned substance. Richmond grew up in a wealthy family and lived a debauched lifestyle, earning him the nickname "Hollywood". In describing Richmond's influence in the sport of racing, Lowe's Motor Speedway president Humpy Wheeler said: "We've never had a race driver like Tim in stock car racing. He was almost a James Dean-like character." When Richmond was cast for a bit part in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace, "He fell right in with the group working on the film," said director Hal Needham. Cole Trickle, the main character in the movie Days of Thunder, played by Tom Cruise, was loosely based on Richmond and his interaction with Harry Hyde and Rick Hendrick.

Oklahoma High School Athletic Districts
Hey Dcheagle, I had to change up the Oklahoma High School Athletic Districts template because the way you had it with the ref tag and notes section was causing errors in the articles for Oklahoma high schools (which another editor fixed by changing all the articles instead of the template). I rarely deal with templates so I'm not sure what is the best way to go about formatting them but the change I made fixed the problem and I think it looks OK.
