Thank you

Thank you for all the awesome work you did on FlightPathTV. It is very much appreciated. Navigating my way through all the errors was like trying to read Greek! Kiwimrsmac (talk) 07:30, 30 January 2011 (UTC)KiwimrsmmacKiwimrsmac (talk) 07:30, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Reference formatting

Please remember that, per WP:CITE, reference styles in articles should not be changed from one optional style to another en masse. This includes changing from one column of references to two via AWB. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:17, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

If you are talking about WP:CITECONSENSUS it does not say "do not pass a column count parameter to the {{Reflist}}" it's saying do not convert <references /> to the template {{Reflist}}, WP:CT, without consensus. I am not doing that. If you are talking about WP:FNNR then, yeah, sorry I merged a few notes and references because they are a mess apart but apparently some folks still insist on having both. --Hutcher (talk) 02:40, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm talking about WP:CITE: "You should follow the style already established in the article you are editing, if it has one." There is no consensus that all articles with some number of references need to have two columns; changing them en masse isn't appropriate. If you continue to change them with AWB, I will take the next step of temporarily removing your AWB access. The AWB rules specifically forbid doing controversial things with it, and making large-scale changes to reference formatting is certainly a controversial change. I notice you even changed the template on articles that don't have footnotes, e.g. [1]. I'm simpy saying you need to get consensus for exactly what changes should be made before going farther with them. — Carl (CBM · talk) 02:50, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

I'm always surprised by the ignorance of some of the people on this thing :S The Third Air Force article already had {{Reflist}} so I'm not sure why you're implying that I'm wildly adding that template. I think it's a misreading of WP:CITECONSENSUS to think a second column (only visible on Firefox) is an insult to the major contributor of the article. Your argument against is weak but if it's so controversial then fine I'll stop, en masse, and if you still feel the need push your weight around, go ahead and pull my access, Carl. --Hutcher (talk) 04:53, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of valkyrie names in Norse mythology In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose which warriors will win or die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

WikiProject Anthroponymy

Hello. I noticed all the work you've put into the project recently. Nice job.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 22:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

About the templates that are up for deletion, can you add a link to WPAPO:HN somewhere on their pages, so people can figure out how to use them? I only found out by reading your comment in the deletion discussion. I'm not sure how to add to it without screwing up the template.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:01, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Another thing, I can't figure out how to get template:aboutgivenname to show a link to a disambig page. I noticed it wasn't listed in the same why the surname one is at WPAPO:HN, does that mean it isn't completed yet?--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 23:22, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Chris-leben-mugshot-pictures.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Chris-leben-mugshot-pictures.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. O Fenian (talk) 14:16, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Regarding your edit diff to Edith Kermit Roosevelt: I'm not sure why you changed it from a disambig page to a name stub? Шизомби (Sz) (talk) 01:27, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Manchu family name

Hi --- I reverted your edits to Manchu family name. That article is not about people named Mr. Manchu or Mrs. Manchu; it is about the surnames used by Manchu people, an ethnic group of northeastern China. "Manchu" itself is not one of those surnames. (Similarly, the article Korean family name is not about people named Mr. Korean or Mrs. Korean, and in fact you will not meet any Korean person by that surname). I listed Vishnu Manchu, Lakshmi Manchu, and Manoj Manchu at Manchu (surname); they are all south Indian and have no connection to the Manchu ethnic group in China.

Morello family

The Morello crime family article is written without any inline citations, the article mentions 116th St. Mob, but couldn't find 107th St. Mob. In the section Post-Antonio era the name "116th St. Mob" (I changed it to 107th Street) and Morello gang are mentioned. But I couldnt find any other "107th St. Mob" in the article, you mentioned on the talk page.

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. (More...)

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.

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. (More...)

Justin Allgaier leads the field after the final caution brought out by the spun out car in the background at Road America during the 2011 Bucyrus 200 Nationwide Series race. All that Allgaier had to do was drive slowly under a caution flag around the track but he ran out of the fuel and could not complete the final lap. He only went a few hundred meters (yards) before running out of fuel in the next corner. Second place car Ron Fellows was ruled to have passed the third place car so he was given the second place finish.

When and how to add etymological info to name and disambiguation pages?

Maybe you, as somebody who seems to be active in the Anthroponymy project, can help me out (as a newbie Wikipedia editor) with the following:

I noticed that many name pages and disambiguation pages about names do not contain etymological info about that name, no info about meaning and/or origin. I tried to find some guidelines whether such info is desirable and should be added by someone who can provide it, or whether this is deemed unnecessary or even contra-productive. So far I was not able to find something.

An example: Adela

Would it be a good idea to add some info like the info given here or not? As this is a disambiguation page there is the related question: When is it a good idea to create a "Adela (given name)" page? If there is more than a certain minimum amount of info that can be provided? If the name is above some threshold of popularity?

(And anyway: Was my choice of addressing you and you directly here the right way to deal with my question?) Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rbrunner7 (talk • contribs) 07:12, 25 July 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. (More...)

Article of the month – 2010 AAA 400, a good article The 2010 AAA 400 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on September 26, 2010 at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Delaware. The 400 lap race was the twenty-eighth in the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, as well as the second race in the ten-race Chase for the Sprint Cup, which ends the season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, of the Hendrick Motorsports team. Jeff Burton finished second, and Joey Logano, who started nineteenth, clinched third. Pole position driver Jimmie Johnson maintained his lead on the first lap to begin the race, as A. J. Allmendinger, who started in the second position on the grid, remained behind him. Fourteen laps later Allmendinger became the leader of the race. Chase for the Sprint Cup participants Clint Bowyer, and Tony Stewart were in the top ten for most of the race, but in the closing laps all of them suffered spins or other problems. Afterward, Johnson became the leader of the race, once Allmendinger pitted because of a loose wheel. Johnson maintained the first position to lead the most laps of 191, and to win his sixth race of the season. There were four cautions and eighteen lead changes among ten different drivers throughout the course of the race. It was Jimmie Johnson's sixth win in the 2010 season, and the fifty-third of his career. The result moved Johnson up to second in the Drivers' Championship, thirty-five points behind Denny Hamlin and ten ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty-five ahead of Toyota and eighty ahead of Ford, with eight races remaining in the season. A total of 88,000 people attended the race, while 3.966 million watched it on television. (More...)

Salting the earth

Thanks for your contribution to the Salting the earth article. Your edit summary is "the point of the original practice should be defined for clarity because the old lead seems to imply that there was no original purpose" and your new text is "High levels of soil salinity will degrade a soils ability to produce vegetation, therefore, salting of the earth can be a long lasting method of handicapping a society's ability to support itself with agriculture."

But in fact the article does state the point in the lead: "to symbolize a curse on its re-inhabitation".

Though it is true that high salt levels can hurt agriculture, I don't think anyone believes that the Israelites (or anyone else) transported the necessary thousands of tons of salt to Shechem and spread it on the land; certainly no reliable source I've found claims that. Neither salt nor transportation (presumably by ox cart) was cheap. As the article says, this is a ritual. Salt has many symbolic connotations in the Bible and neither the original source nor any secondary sources say that making the land infertile is the purpose here. It is of course possible that it was a symbol of making the land infertile, but lots of other things are possible as well, and I have not been able to find any reliable sources that are more specific than saying that the purpose was to "consecrate" the city to God. Please read Talk:Salting the earth for more extended discussion. --Macrakis (talk) 17:08, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – Darlington Record Club The Unocal-Darlington Record Club was a club in the NASCAR Grand National and Winston Cup Series from 1959 to about 2001, based at Darlington Raceway. Membership was achieved based on setting qualifying records during time trials for the annual Southern 500 held on Labor Day weekend. During its heyday, it was considered one of the most prestigious and exclusive clubs in motorsports.The club was sponsored by longtime NASCAR sponsor Unocal/Union 76. Previously it was sponsored by Pure Oil. At some time after the 2001 season, the club was quietly retired. The club ended permanently when Unocal left the sport in 2003, and the Southern 500 was removed from the schedule after 2004.The original eight charter members were selected in 1959: Dick Joslin (Dodge), Marvin Panch (Ford), Joe Caspolich (Oldsmobile), Bob Burdick (Thuderbird), Speedy Thompson (Chevrolet), Richard Petty (Plymouth), Elmo Langley (Buick), and Fireball Roberts (Pontiac). Roberts was selected as the first president; Former Darlington Raceway president Bob Colvin contributed in creating the club. (More...)

Article of the month – Phoenix International Raceway - B-class article Phoenix International Raceway, also known as PIR, is a one-mile, low-banked tri-oval race track located in Avondale, Arizona. The track opened in 1964 and currently hosts two NASCAR race weekends annually. PIR has also hosted the Indycar Series, CART, USAC and the Rolex Sports Car Series. The raceway is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation. The raceway was originally constructed with a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) road course that ran both inside and outside of the main tri-oval. In 1991 the track was reconfigured with the current 1.51 miles (2.43 km) interior layout. PIR has an estimated grandstand seating capacity of around 67,000. Lights were installed around the track in 2004 following the addition of a second annual NASCAR race weekend.

Germans in Czechoslovakia (1918–1938)

You asked for this article to be split and have support. I am now trying to clear the backlog of split tags, but am having difficulty in doing this article. Would you be willing to do the split? Op47 (talk) 20:33, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

I would love to. Any suggestions on performing the ideal split? I imagine that I should first ensure that content in this article pre-exists in the target articles and then request a redirect? --Hutcher (talk) 21:26, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

I hope I havn't offended you, but I decided to sort it out myself, on the grounds that you would be better placed to review and correct my work rather than the other way round. In the end, there was no material that ought to have gone in Carpathian Germans and so it was in effect a merge from Germans in Czechoslovakia (1918–1938) to Sudeten Germans. I am not sure if someone had previously done the split but forgot to remove the split tag. Either way, the merge needed doing otherwise there would be 2 articles with identical scope but diverging in content. Hope this is ok Op47 (talk) 15:25, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Auto Club 500, a Good Article The 2010 Auto Club 500 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on February 21, 2010 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Contested over 250 laps, it was the second race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Kevin Harvick finished second, and Jeff Burton, who started fourteenth, clinched third. Pole position driver Jamie McMurray maintained his lead into the first corner, but Juan Pablo Montoya, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Johnson became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 101 laps. During the final pit stops, Johnson was on pit lane as the caution flag came out. Burton, who led the race during Johnson's pit stop, did not pass Johnson to put him a lap down. Therefore, Johnson retained the first position upon the completion of his pit stop. On the final lap, Harvick was gaining on Johnson, but Johnson maintained his position to win his first race of the season. There were six caution flags and twenty-eight lead changes among fourteen different drivers throughout the course of the race. The result moved Johnson up twenty-three spots to tenth in the Drivers' Championship, 78 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, eight points points ahead of Toyota and nine ahead of Ford, with thirty-four races remaining in the season. (Read more...)

Article of the month – 2010 Sylvania 300 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. (Read more...)
