Speedy deletion nomination of Kentucky 400
A tag has been placed on Kentucky 400 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. — Train2104 (talk • contribs • count) 00:09, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

PPV Articles
Please stop creating WWE PPV Articles way too early. Its standard to wait two months before the event is to take place ie. Royal Rumble(2011) takes place on Jan 30th it wont be created till Oct 30th.--Steam Iron 04:56, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Judging from the above message and your re-creation of TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2010) earlier today, you appear to be ignoring messages/disregarding on your talk page. This is not a wise idea. Please pay attention to what other editors are telling you.
Also, please read WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT. You have no excuse to continue creating ppv articles too soon - it's been pointed out in edit summaries and on your talk page, and you are really just being disruptive now. I've reverted to the redirect. Please adhere/stick to the standards, and do not recreate the article until two months at least before the event. Editors are expected to follow certain standards on wikipedia, and you do not seem willing to do so at this point. Please stick to the two month guideline in all your future edits to wrestling ppv articles. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 17:39, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Your request for rollback
Hi Nascarking/Archive 23. After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! FASTILY (TALK) 00:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Your Survivor Series edit
Regarding this edit: a) The ip's edits were perfectly valid - they corrected WP:OVERLINKing. You re-introduced it. Please be more careful in future. b) You appear to have used rollback to revert the ip. This is unacceptable. Per WP:RBK, rollback should only be used when "reverting obvious vandalism or undoing one's own edits". This was neither. Be more careful in future please and stick to the accepted usage of rollback, or it'll be removed. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 04:18, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Unified tag titles
Your message to me regarding the "promotional" issues with my edit were unneccesary. My edit simply rephrased "it should be noted that WWE.com" to "WWE's official website" (which is the exact same thing). If you have issue with the use of a WWE.com link in the article, than I would suggest removing the phrase (regardless of wording) from the article entirely. -- TRTX T / C 22:29, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Your harassment
Reverting my edits for absolutely no good reason qualifies as such. Isn't there an article about that "sport" that involves forty rednecks turning left for 500 miles that you could "improve"? The Cleanup Kid (talk) 22:03, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
3RR on SummerSlam (2010)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on SummerSlam (2010). Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Continued harassment will be reported. HAND; FYM. The Cleanup Kid (talk) 22:26, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

{{unblock|Your reason here}}
, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. --Chris (talk) 22:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC)Nascarking (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I broke the 3 reverts rule yes and I apologize. But I was only trying to protect the integrity or whatever Wikipedia uses for integrity of the wrestling articles. And in the process I forgot that I was also reverting the edits as well. Certainly someone knows what your judgment is like during an edit war, almost nothing. This kid though has been a real Thorn in my Side for the last couple of days for not just me but 3bulletproof16 and Dcheagle. I think the block on me though is not as necessary as it is on The Cleanup Kid. I know what I did wrong and I can promise you with anything that I will never take part in an edit war again or break the 3 Reverts Rule.
Decline reason:
I was only trying to protect the integrity or whatever Wikipedia uses... Being right does not entitle you to edit waring.
Certainly someone knows what your judgment is like during an edit war, almost nothing. That's why edit waring isn't allowed.
I think the block on me though is not as necessary as it is on The Cleanup Kid. Maybe but that doesn't mean it's not still necessary for you.
You say that you were so upset you couldn't control yourself and then say it wont happen again? Take a day off and cool down. You'll be a better editor in the long run. - Selket Talk 06:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Out of curiosity, exactly what part of TCK's edit did you consider vandalism? The changes look fine to me. --Chris (talk) 23:27, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes but they where fine before and he doesn't seem to know when to stop reverting. I noticed he reverted back to his version after I think it was Nicki or Micky I'm not sure reverted his 1st edit. I reverted it back to whoevers version he reverted. then he reverted mine I reverted his. It could have stopped there but he reverted it again so that's when it became vandalism.--Nascar king 23:35, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- What part of the definition of vandalism are you using when concluding that TCK's reverts were vandalism? --Chris (talk) 23:47, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- Would continuing to revert after someone has told you to stop be vandalism?--Nascar king 23:50, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
- What part of the definition of vandalism are you using when concluding that TCK's reverts were vandalism? --Chris (talk) 23:47, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Oh wait it would be under stubborn editing which isn't vandalism.--Nascar king 00:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
Looking at it that way this is sort of my fault then.--Nascar king 00:22, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- Would you agree to not edit-war from now on and to not edit SummerSlam (2010) for 24 hours?--Chaser (talk) 00:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- As the edits were not vandalism, what was the rationale for reverting them? Do you genuinely disagree with the content of his edit, or do you just have a bone to pick with him and are expressing it by reverting him? --Chris (talk) 01:02, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
It is never good to edit-war for any reason. Next time take the issue to a talk page and discuss your concerns over the edits with the other party and take it from there. No worries Nascarking. See you in 24.--UnquestionableTruth-- 01:06, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
- That's why I went to Oakster for help ending this but TCK turned my asking Oakster for help into an edit war on his talk page.--Nascar king 01:26, 14 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.

"00:25, 23 October 2010", "01:50, 23 October 2010", "01:50, 23 October 2010" now I'm pretty sure thats in under a 2 hour period of him reverting Good Faith edits, and I was in my rights to make note of his edits on the TNA Employees page, and like I've stated before I'm clearly following guidelines in MOS:TEXT when I'm making the edit. I did nothing wrong for what you're implying and I don't appreciate idle threats such as the one youu made. Afro (Talk) 17:56, 23 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.

WWE Raw
Please stop removing the templates from WWE Raw, unless you can provide secondary sources and address the issues of the history section and the many tables. --Jtalledo (talk) 11:51, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
- Again, do not remove these templates without addressing these issues. Insulting edits like this one this one violate WP:CIVIL. If you keep this up, I will ask for a request for comment regarding your edits. --Jtalledo (talk) 00:32, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Nattie Neidhart a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.
In addition, there is no move discussion at Talk:Nattie Neidhart. I've already told you to get a consensus there. Please don't continue to unilaterally move pages, especially not to incorrect names (the article would be moved to Natalya (wrestler), not Natalya (professional wrestler), per standard). Please start a discussion at Talk:Nattie Neidhart to gain consensus. NiciVampireHeart 01:57, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
WWE Raw
I know an editor has already spoken to you about revisions of this nature, however I would like to inform you that Wikipedia strives to represent all points of view without any bias as it's important to represent the professional wrestling articles from a point of view outside of a wrestling fan. Templates such as {{multipleissues}} are to encourage editors to improve the article to meet such requirements. If you would like to learn more about the given subject feel free to read WP:NPOV. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask more experienced editors within Wikipedia. Afro (Talk) 04:50, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- Considering your summary comment was and I quote "This was added from someone who knows nothing about WWE", your comment is clearly in reference to the POV from a WWE spectators view, my comment was simply a reminder that articles on wikipedia should be written in a manner that is understandable from and I quote again "someone who knows nothing about WWE".

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.

You're not always right.
Reverting edits for the sake of reverting them does not make you a great contributer to Wikipedia. If you don't have time to check edits before reverting them, don't revert them. Let someone else do it or, preferably, leave them as they are and trust that whoever made the edit has made it for the right reason. Simple as that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 161.76.98.239 (talk) 21:51, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
November 2010
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Hell in a Cell. 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. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. 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. Signed by Barts1a Suggestions/complements?

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.

Hi Nascarking, I don't know you here on Wikipedia, anyway, I reviewed Elimination Chamber, which for GA, minor edits need to be made before I can pass it. After I pass it, you can claim 30 points for the WikiCup (I am also a contestant in that).--12george1 (talk) 05:34, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

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.

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Is there a reason you removed an on-topic thread questioning a source from the Chris Benoit murder/suicide article? Hazardous Matt (talk) 22:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
- It wasn't a "forum" discussion. He was asking for a source to back up information (a possible BLP violation) that is not listed in the source currently cited. There is absolutely no reason why that should have been removed, and to think it was not relevant to the discussion implies you hadn't even read what you had deleted. (In fact, did you? Do you know what was being asked?) Do not do that again. Hazardous Matt (talk) 15:42, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
- What exactly made it seem like an off-topic form discussion? When he said the names listed weren't in the source? Or when he said if a source wasn't provided it would be removed? This is not the first time you've removed something you don't like, as you twice removed the Good Article Review request from the Elimination Chamber article (and you never explained why you did that when asked, either). If you continue this behavior it will be reported. Hazardous Matt (talk) 22:05, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

The 2010 Price Chopper 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on October 3, 2010 at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas. The 300 lap race was the twenty-ninth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.

WikiCup 2011 February newsletter
So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round. Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seen here. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter
Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to Hurricanehink (submissions) and Nergaal (submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to Candlewicke (submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here.

Article of the month – 2011 Budweiser Shootout, a new Good article
The 2011 Budweiser Shootout was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race that was held on February 12, 2011 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Contested over 75 laps, it was the first exhibition race of the 2011 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kurt Busch for the Penske Racing team. Jamie McMurray finished second, and Ryan Newman clinched third. Pole position driver Dale Earnhardt, Jr. maintained his lead through the first corner, but Clint Bowyer, who started seventh on the grid, led the first lap. On the 25th lap, the first caution was given, as Jeff Burton became the leader. During the caution all the teams made a pit stop . Two laps later, an accident involving several racecars prompted the second caution to be given. On lap 63, Newman became the leader. He maintained the lead until the final lap, when Denny Hamlin passed him below the yellow line (out of bounds line), as Busch passed him on the other side. Hamlin passed Newman below the yellow line giving the win to Kurt Busch. There were four cautions and 28 lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Busch's first win in the 2011 season, as well as his first win at a track that uses restrictor plates, such as Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway. A total of 80,000 people attended the race, while 7.8 million watched it on television.

Article of the month – 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500
The 2011 Subway Fresh Fit 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 27, 2011 at Phoenix International Raceway in Avondale, Arizona. Contested over 312 laps, it was the second race of the 2011 season. The race was won by Jeff Gordon for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kyle Busch finished second, and Jimmie Johnson clinched third. Pole position driver Carl Edwards maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as Kurt Busch, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. On the 29th lap, the first caution was given because of debris. Forty-eight laps later, a multiple car accident occurred, which involved 13 drivers. Afterward, several lead changes, and four more cautions occurred. With nine laps remaining, Gordon passed Kyle Busch for the first position. Gordon maintained the lead to win his first race of the season, and his first in more than 60 races. There were eight cautions and 29 lead changes among 12 different drivers throughout the course of the race, Gordon's first win of the season. The result moved Gordon to the sixth position in the Drivers' Championship. He remained 15 points behind first place driver Kyle Busch and one ahead of Bobby Labonte in seventh. In the Manufacturers' Championship, Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet had twelve points, four points ahead of Dodge. A total of 75,000 people attended the race, while 10.36 million watched it on television.

The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.
A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Money in the Bank (2011)
This was not vandalism, so your revert was inappropriate, and misuse of Twinkle. "Undo" would have been fine, but please do not accuse me of being a vandal. Thanks, Chzz ► 04:45, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Hey, come on, not fair;
- "an overzealous deletionist like you" [1]
- "an editor who many of us are certain has a personal vendetta to delete all wrestling related articles" [2]
- "you overzealous deletionist" [3]
- Let's argue about the content, sure; no problem. But, those comments are personal, and aggressive. If I were less easy-going, I'd be posting to AIV and asking for a short block for WP:NPA.
- So come on; play fair; let's discuss content, not users. Chzz ► 03:31, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
