*:A direct and specific answer to your question is already on [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Yeel88&oldid=958223949 his user page]: "I have two sister accounts User:Yeel87 for editing things not on NASCAR [a]nd User:Yeel89 as a backup for editing anything." Having one account for NASCAR (his main area of editing), one for non-NASCAR stuff, and one as a backup (for editing on public PCs, etc.) sounds very reasonable to me. Unless there exist additional undisclosed accounts that you are aware of, he answered your question before you even asked it. If there ''are'' additional undisclosed accounts, I apologize for the interference and agree that they should ''probably'' be disclosed, and admit that they may ''possibly'' need to be blocked, but otherwise, I must ask that you desist your attempts to coerce this user into choosing just one out of his three properly linked, disclosed and purposefully created accounts as you have no grounds for making such a demand of him.

Clement Racing moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Clement Racing, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Please use reference footnotes to indicate how the references that you included relate to the content of the page and establish notability for the team. Ost (talk) 16:14, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Austin Hill Racing moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Austin Hill Racing, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

If someone can tell me how to make external links, plz tell me!

I really want to know how to make external links. --Yeel88 (talk) 17:28, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In direct response to your question, WP:EL contains information about external links. You likely also should look over Help:Footnotes.
Please note that other editors are unlikely to see and respond to requests for help on your page unless you use {{help}}. The messages from other editors in the sections above also give links to various other places that you can look and ask for help. You may want to refrain from creating articles until you learn how to look up policies and procedures. —Ost (talk) 17:42, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kimmel Racing moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Kimmel Racing, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Same issues as other articles: Needs references the support the content and to demonstrate notability; notability is not inherited. Ost (talk) 17:41, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

How many references are supposed to be on a page? --Yeel88 (talk) 17:43, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeel88, Howdy hello! Generally the minimum number of references needed to establish notability is three. Those sources need to be reliable, independent, and give significant coverage to the subject. You also might wish to take a look at our easy guide to referencing, which covers how to add references using our software. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 17:48, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Expanding on the excellent replies by User:CaptainEek, a concern with the sources on the racing team pages is that the sources don't explicitly mention the team (c.f., the Frank Kimmel page; if this were a reliable source, it could be used to demonstrate Frank Kimmel's wins, but there are no sources to indicate that he was on Kimmel Racing at the time).
Additionally, the references indicate authors for the webpages, but I don't see those authors listed on the page; I was uncertain where the citation text for those references came from. —Ost (talk) 18:27, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

Please help me with... what are some reliable sources? Is Racing-reference.info one? Yeel88 (talk) 17:49, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

From a first glance, it appears to be user created content, which would make it unreliable. You might wish to ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject NASCAR to get a more informed answer however, as I am not familiar with racing. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n! 18:04, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for May 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited ThorSport Racing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ben Rhodes (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:11, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

More Questions I wonder for now

What are some reliable NASCAR sources? Are there any common ones I missed? I need to know if I want to publish my four articles thank you!--Yeel88 (talk) 13:28, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You can find a list of reliable NASCAR sources at Wikipedia:WikiProject_NASCAR/Standards#List_of_reliable_sources. 78.28.44.111 (talk) 15:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any articles I should focus on? Or should I make a different one?--Yeel88 (talk) 13:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As a general rule, it's best for both Wikipedia and you if you focus on things you want to focus on (and if there are no such things, you should just take a break); that said, there is a to-do list at Wikipedia:WikiProject_NASCAR/To-do that may give you some ideas. 78.28.44.111 (talk) 15:12, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that the NASCAR To-Do talk page mentions "For a quicker response to discussion/queries, go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject NASCAR. Seeing as the last post on the To-Do talk page was 10 years ago, it's unlikely that you will get a response to your question there. —Ost (talk) 05:35, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Question!

Is it okay to have more than one account so I can have an extra to edit more stuff? Because I have one, User:Yeel87.

Multiple accounts are permitted in certain circumstance however there is virtually no reason for you to have two just to source stuff. Please see Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#LEGIT. Praxidicae (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pick an account

Is this the account you want to use? Please let me know because plan on blocking the rest unless you can provide a legitimate reason to create and maintain a handful of accounts.-- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 03:41, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me? No, a user does not need to explain why they need additional accounts (although this one has already volunteered that information above and on their user page); the onus is on the blocking admin to provide a reason for the block. The accounts simply existing isn't good enough. Also, should I assume you performed a CU check on this user? If so, on what grounds? Was there disruptive editing? Because I don't see any other than, quite frankly, from you right now, as you seem to be threatening a new user who did nothing wrong (as far as I can see) with account blocks for no apparent reason. 78.28.44.111 (talk) 07:13, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • My question is for Yeel88. Yeel88, could you please respond to my original question, with the link to Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry#LEGIT provided by Praxidicae above in mind? Thank you, -- Jezebel's Ponyobons mots 16:36, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    A direct and specific answer to your question is already on his user page: "I have two sister accounts User:Yeel87 for editing things not on NASCAR [a]nd User:Yeel89 as a backup for editing anything." Having one account for NASCAR (his main area of editing), one for non-NASCAR stuff, and one as a backup (for editing on public PCs, etc.) sounds very reasonable to me.
