{{helpme}} Can someone update the 2006–07 Charlotte Bobcats season article? Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 02:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
- Why should someone else do it? If you can't do it, no one will magically update for you with... oh, nothing, because you never even told us what to update it with. {{sofixit}}, or forget about it. —fetch·comms 02:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

How do you put somebody's talk page for deletion? Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 15:53, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- Follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion, unless it meets one of the Criteria for speedy deletion (e.g. an attack page or blatant spam), in which case add the relevant {{db-xxx}} template. — Tivedshambo (t/c) 15:59, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion declined: Hoggin
Hello Wayne Olajuwon. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hoggin, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Contains sufficient content to be a stub. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 16:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
- If you are going to do New Page Patrol - which is a good and useful thing to do - you need to read WP:CSD carefully. The criteria for speedy deletion are deliberately drawn quite tightly, and there is no point tagging articles which don't meet them - you can use WP:PROD or WP:AfD if you really think the article should be deleted, but often what is needed is improvement, and it is better to add an appropriate one of the maintenance templates listed at WP:TC, such as {{unreferenced}}. Better still, see whether you can improve the article yourself, for instance by finding references. There is good advice for speedy taggers at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M.

Creating NASCAR race articles
Hello, thanks for creating 2011 Coca-Cola 600, 2011 Emory Healthcare 500, and 2011 Ford 400, but they are still a long time in the future; at least more than six months. Why were you in a hurry to create these articles? Also for your future articles, check out the newer completed ones such as 2010 Carfax 400 to add the background and change the lead. Thanks and happy editing. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 16:19, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
I made these articles in a hurry because there were news about these races. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 16:27, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, I'm not concerned about the Daytona 500 article, but the others are too far away. I will be a little surprised if PROD will not be added to them in the future. Also if your not a member of WP:NASCAR you are welcome to join. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 16:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
What happens after you join WP:NASCAR? Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 16:32, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- It just makes you a member. You also get out newsletter. It's just nice to have the editor who edit NASCAR articles a memeber. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 16:37, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 16:39, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Also there are specalation on the name for the second race. It could be 600 km or 500km. I also heard it is day race, so they haven't comfirmed it yet.Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 16:42, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
But on the 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series article the Phoenix race still says Subway Fresh Fit 600. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 16:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yes it does, but if you go to here is says 500. Its still under speculation so lets wait. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 16:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't you move the Subway Fresh Fit 600 article to Subway Fresh Fit 500? Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 16:48, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- No, because we don't know completely yet. Lets keep it the same for now. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 16:58, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 16:59, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Also just to make sure you wouldn't create it. Please dont create 2011 Gatorade Duels because I want to add it to the 500 article. --Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 17:08, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
I won't create the 2011 Gatorade Duels. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 17:11, 17 August 2010 (UTC) Most races will start in the day because of the start time rule at 1:00, 3:00 and 5:00. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 17:14, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, unless it is a night race which starts at 7:30. Nascar1996 Contributions / Guestbook 17:20, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Okay. Wayne Olajuwon (talk) 17:21, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Food City 500, a recent good article
The 2010 Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee was the fifth race of the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The race began at 1 p.m. EDT on March 21, 2010. The 2010 Food City 500 was televised on Fox and broadcast on PRN radio. This race marked the last appearance of the rear wing on the Car of Tomorrow, with the spoiler returning the following race. This race also was the first of three in Carl Edwards' probation following his altercation with Brad Keselowski at the previous race at Atlanta Motor Speedway; Keselowski was sent airborne, subsequently crashing on his side door. The race had 13 different leaders, 39 lead changes and 10 cautions. The race attendance of 138,000 marked the end of a long streak of sellout seats at the track, which has a capacity of 158,000. The race had been a sellout since 1982. (More...) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
