== Thanks! ==
Thanks for the new picture!  I plan on expanding [[List of Green Bay Packers stadiums]] in the near future, but I wanted to get it into the project space sooner.  I am glad to see that you are still around and editing!

:I was pleasantly surprised to see you back! No matter if it's long-term or short-term, a good solid hand is always welcome. I'm doing fine and I hope that you are too. I mainly have discretionary time to upload images and not enough to do much article work. I went on too many excellent long vacations to get all of the images up. Cheers!

== Cup Series ==

Should most of the articles with Sprint Cup Series in the name be move protected until January 1 to prevent a premature move once the new sponsor is announced (i.e. [[Sprint Cup Series]], [[List of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champions]])? – '''[[User:Nascar1996|<font color="black">Nascar1996</font>]]''' <sup>([[User talk:Nascar1996|<font color="darkblue">talk</font>]] • [[Special:Contributions/Nascar1996|<font color="darkblue">cont</font>]])</sup> 16:23, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

== Old World Wisconsin ==

Would you happen to have any photos from [[Old World Wisconsin]]?  I am working on a building list similar to what is in the Heritage Hill and Wade House articles and there really seems to be a dearth of images in [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Old_World_Wisconsin commons]. I may have to take my wife there and spend a day photographing the buildings.  There are a LOT of buildings. I need to do some newpaper search and expand the history section also.  Pretty sad article. '''[[User:Nyth83|<span style="color:#0000FF;">Nyth</span>]][[User talk:Nyth83|<span style="color:#00CC66;">63</span>]]''' 03:34, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
:I should have photographs of every building from my last visit on August 6, 2013. I may have skipped some outhouses and the like but I have most. It's worth spending a day there! I thoroughly enjoyed it. '''[[User:Royalbroil|<span style="color:#000000;">Royal</span>]][[User talk:Royalbroil|<span style="color:#FFCC00;">broil</span>]]''' 02:12, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
::::I have been there a couple of times in the past but it has probably been about 10 years since my last visit. I am thinking about visiting again with my wife. I just moved over my first draft of the table from my sandbox to the article. So far I have the three NRHP buildings and about 5 more buildings with profiles from WHS.  How much effort would it be for you to upload some of those pictures? Could you start with filling in the 5 or so buildings I don't have pictures for?  There was an [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Old_World_Wisconsin Old World Wisconsin] category in commons already.  I had to find a few of the photos and add that category to them.  There may be other photos from there in commons somewhere that I have not found yet. There are SO many buildings there I was thinking that it take a while to finish it so any help would be appreciated.  I am looking for suggestions on what default sort order to put the building in as strictly alphabetical would be rather confusing because of the way the buildings are grouped by area at the site.  I have an extra column I named 'Village' than I felt would be helpful.  '''[[User:Nyth83|<span style="color:#0000FF;">Nyth</span>]][[User talk:Nyth83|<span style="color:#00CC66;">63</span>]]''' 12:13, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
:::I uploaded several images and I have MANY more. While I found a [http://oldworldwisconsin.wisconsinhistory.org/Explore/ExploreMap.aspx site map], it is incomplete and somewhat cumbersome. So I'm not always certain which image corresponds to which building. I love the village column. I suggest sorting by village then secondary sort by structure name.

::::Yeah, I have been looking at google maps trying to figure it out.  There are some street views in the park so that is helpful.  I will be visting on Monday with my wife.  Anything I should get pictures of besides outhouses? '''[[User:Nyth83|<span style="color:#0000FF;">Nyth</span>]][[User talk:Nyth83|<span style="color:#00CC66;">63</span>]]''' 00:09, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:::::I'm excited for you! I'm sure that you'll have a great time. A fair weather day for sure. I should have photographs of the main buildings but I can't say for sure. I don't know exactly what I have since I don't have a map available. Would you email me the map that they give to you? I'd photograph the secondary buildings for sure. If you did notice that I had uploaded a photograph with the wrong name, I could fix it at Commons.

::::::I found another map online [http://www.mobilemaplets.com/thumbnails/13084_thumbnail-1024.jpg here] that may be a little helpful.  Google street view may be able to help you match a photo with a building location but it won't tell you what the name is. Those rather cartoonish/artsy maps kind of annoy me.  Probably because I have some background in surveying and GIS systems.  Really annoying that the north is towards the bottom of the map. I will let you know how things turn out tomorrow.  I am thinking about asking around if a curator or someone like that is around that may be able to supply a detailed list of the all the structures. Have to be careful not to annoy the wife too much though with a busman's holiday.

== [[Template:Protected areas of Wisconsin]] ==

I was looking at the [[Heritage Hill State Historical Park]] article and noticed the protected area template at the bottom.  I was going to add it to the OWW article but noticed that site is not included in the template. I noticed that Wade house in not there either. Do I presume that it is because they are run by the WHS?  This seems odd that for such similar sites both run by state agencies that one should be included but not the other.  Are you aware if there has been a past discussion about including all the WHS sites in that template? '''[[User:Nyth83|<span style="color:#0000FF;">Nyth</span>]][[User talk:Nyth83|<span style="color:#00CC66;">63</span>]]''' 18:11, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
:I don't remember any discussions. Seems like correctly a long overdue oversight. I think it would be uncontroversial to add a section [[Wisconsin Historical Society]] sites to the template ([[WP:BOLD|be bold]] comes to mind). You could start a section at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wisconsin]] just to be safe. I suppose it would be healthy to have a real discussion there once anyhow!

== Extended confirmed protection ==

{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Royalbroil. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

[[WP:BLUELOCK|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:49, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==

Hello,

Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|TOTP]] based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the [[Help:Two-factor authentication|developing help page]] for additional information. '''Important''': Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.

A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''New Page Reviewer''']], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|PERM]]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|here]] but very often a friendly custom message works best. 

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at [[WT:NPR]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

== Mel Shaw ==

Hi [[User:Royalbroil]], I saw you uploaded some Trans-Am Series pictures in Commons. Do you happen to have any pictures regarding [[Mel Shaw (racing driver)]]? He is a former Trans-Am driver recently involved in a deadly crash at Brainerd.

== Invitation to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]]... ==

You are invited to '''''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project volunteers|join]]''''' the effort to revitalize and improve the [[Portal:Contents/Portals|Portal system]].

The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] was rebooted on April 17th, and is going strong. Sixty-six editors have joined so far, with more joining daily. We're having a blast, and excitement is high...

Our goal is to update, upgrade, and maintain portals.

In addition to working directly on portals, we are developing tools to make portals more dynamic (self-updating), and to make building and maintaining portals easier. We've finished two tools so far, with more to come. They are [[Template:Transclude lead excerpt]] and [[Template:Transclude random excerpt]].

[[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Portals|Discussions]] are underway about how to further upgrade portals, and what the portals of the future will be.

There are plenty of '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#New Project tasks|tasks]]''' (including WikiGnome tasks too).

With more to come.

We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.

See ya at the WikiProject!

:I didn't work on the article, but I could speculate. After spinning, he got fresh tires and must have stayed on the lead lap.

== Thank you very much ==

The [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/RfC: Ending the system of portals#RfC: Ending the system of portals|RfC discussion to eliminate portals]] was closed May 12, with the statement "There exists a strong consensus against deleting or even deprecating portals at this time." This was made possible because you and others came to the rescue. Thank you for speaking up.

By the way, the current issue of the Signpost features an article with interviews about [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2018-05-24/WikiProject report|the RfC and the Portals WikiProject]].

I'd also like to let you know that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals|Portals WikiProject]] is working hard to make sure your support of portals was not in vain.  Toward that end, we have been working diligently to innovate portals, while building, updating, upgrading, and maintaining them. The project has grown to 80 members so far, and has become a beehive of activity.

Our two main goals at this time are to automate portals (in terms of refreshing, rotating, and selecting content), and to develop a one-page model in order to make obsolete and eliminate most of the 150,000 subpages from the portal namespace by migrating their functions to the portal base pages, using technologies such as selective transclusion. Please feel free to join in on any of the many threads of development at the [[WT:WPPORT|WikiProject's talk page]], or just stop by to see how we are doing. If you have any questions about portals or portal development, that is the best place to ask them.

If you would like to keep abreast of developments on portals, keep in mind that the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals#Project members|project's members]] receive updates on their talk pages. The updates are also posted [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals/Newsletter archive|here]], for your convenience.

Again, we can't thank you enough for your support of portals, and we hope to make you proud of your decision. Sincerely, <span class="nowrap">&nbsp;&nbsp; &mdash; ''[[User talk:The Transhumanist|The&nbsp;Transhumanist]]''&nbsp;&nbsp; </span> 23:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

:::: Well, {{u|Gonzo fan2007}}, I finally got to the Titletown District. It's still only about halfway completed, so there's not too much to photograph. I was also disappointed that there was no true large entrance sign, it's just there. I did, however, get pictures of Ariens Hill and the Titletown Tech building (as well as the football field there), and they all turned out just like an architect would draw it - partly cloudy, pristine everything. It's a wonderful experience if you ever get to the area (Royal as well!). The images are all uploaded to Commons under my user contributions and hopefully I'll make a Commons category soon. If you have any specific requests for the Heritage Trail (locations, plaques, etc.) I'll see what I can do with that.

: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised.  The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]].  In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account.  The committee has updated its guidelines.

== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|two-factor authentication]] remains an ''optional'' means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised. 

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

== formatting  ==

Hey there RB,

I recently got some books to help fill in some missing pieces in NASCAR history, and I had a question.  In seasons [[2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2011]] and [[2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2012]] the "Season Summary" or "Race Recap" are written in paragraph form.  But I noticed in the more recent years like [[2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2015]] and [[2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series|2016]] that they are broken into little ... almost sections .. for each race.  Is there one preferred method over the other?  I know a lot of it depends on who writes up the article to begin with, but I'm working on a couple ''OLD'' years and such, and as much as I can I'll conform to desired format.  Let me know what you think. [[User:Ched|— Ched]] ([[User talk:Ched|talk]]) 00:39, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

:I guess an example might help huh? [[User:Ched/1956 NASCAR Grand National Series]].  There's 2 different methods there right now .. what are your thoughts? [[User:Ched|— Ched]] ([[User talk:Ched|talk]]) 00:40, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
::I prefer a combination of the two, with short race recaps and another "overview" section. I like how you started with an executive summary then briefly summarized each race. Any races that have an article could have a hatnote to the main article. In summary, I love what you have right now!

::I went to Slinger this past Sunday afternoon for their last hurrah of the season. They only had the lowest classes (without late models and super late models) and it still was great! '''[[User:Royalbroil|<span style="color: #000000;">Royal</span>]][[User talk:Royalbroil|<span style="color: #FFCC00;">broil</span>]]''' 00:10, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

::: Well I thank you for the kind words sir.  I hadn't thought of looking for specific race articles, just linking to tracks.  I'll definitely check that out.  Yea - end of the year comes pretty early in that neck of the woods I guess.  Still - great track, and I'm glad you got to go.  Hey - while I'm here.  Considering you keep a pretty low profile, I think I know the answer, but thought I'd ask.  Would you ever consider running for Arbcom?  Never hurts to ask. [[User:Ched|— Ched]] ([[User talk:Ched|talk]]) 04:11, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

::::I have a low profile because I'm too busy living / enjoying life. I have literally thousands of city images queued to upload from several vacations but don't have the time to process them. I attend about 55 races per year at 30 tracks per year. I catch most national tours between the local tracks and Road America. There'll be limited races to attend in October, none in November/December, before ice racing happens in January / February. March is usually slow before the summer races start by mid April. I have images of these races dating back to 2006, so let me know if need anything. I have uploaded images of pretty much all current Wisconsin drivers as they came up through the ranks. I wish Dave Marcis would make an appearance once so I could get an image of him.

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of [[Banknotes of the United States dollar|United States banknotes]], yet only a fraction of these are represented on [[c:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] in the form of 2D scans.  Additionally, [[Colonial history of the United States|Colonial America]], the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]], the [[Republic of Texas]], multiple [[List of states and territories of the United States|states and territories]], communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, [[WP:WikiProject Numismatics|WikiProject Numismatics]] will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019|2019 US Banknote Contest]].  The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on [[m:Complete list of Wikimedia projects|all Wikimedia projects]].  Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#Awards|awards]].

:I don't have cable sports channels but I saw the recap of the big accident later on sports.

:It's been several years since I had a driver to cheer after Matt Kenseth retired. He had been the best Wisconsin driver that I ever saw (since the late 1980s) until Ty Majeski came along. Ty won anywhere and everywhere. Everyone else raced for second. He won the 2016 ARCA Midwest Tour championship despite purposely missing a race to attempt to win the NASCAR Weekly Series championship. Put him in a good NASCAR car and watch what happens. Kenseth came out of retirement for last year's Slinger Nationals and the two duked it out for the best finish that I ever saw. Majeski had the lead with a restart with two laps to go. He had the better car. Kenseth was in second and nudged him in the back in turn 2 on the last lap just enough to get under him for the win. THE FANS WENT WILD! In victory lane, Majeski said he expected it to come and would have done the same thing. Two classy drivers! I still think Majeski is better.

It is named after influential [[Automobile design|automobile designer]] [[Harley Earl]], who served as the second commissioner of NASCAR.

The trophy is kept on display at the [[Daytona International Speedway]], while a small replica is given to each Daytona 500 winner. <small>'''([[Harley J. Earl Trophy|Read more...]])'''</small>

All too often, pages about drivers, teams or tracks have only content about NASCAR's top three national series. To improve article quality, information about other series or events that those drivers, teams and tracks are involved in should be added, backed up by reliable sources.

==Did you go to Road America this year?==
Hi Royalbroil, <br>
I am a NASCAR page editor and have noticed your many, many pictures that are all over the site of cars and drivers in the Xfinity Series Road America race. Thank you so much for doing that for the past ten years (since the race began)! The race did have fans despite COVID, so I was wondering if you were going to go again this year and have a bunch of pictures up around now. I haven't seen anything, so I'm guessing the answer is no, but if you did go, I did add a list of drivers who have competed in the top three series and ARCA in 2020 who don't have pictures to the WikiProject NASCAR page ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_NASCAR/To-do#Articles_that_do_not_have_images click here)], the reason being is so if people who see it there and are going to any of the upcoming races can snap a photo of them if possible. It seems like your pictures of the Road America drivers come during driver intros. If you were there last Saturday, were you able to get any pictures of the drivers on that list who were in the race?

Also, do you go or have you been in the past to any other races during the year other than in Wisconsin? It looks like that's where you live since I've seen pics of yours from the Milwaukee Mile (the race that was replaced by Road America) as well as today's up-and-coming drivers from Wisconsin (Sam Mayer, Derek Kraus, Ty Majeski and Natalie Decker in particular) when they were in go-karts (that's impressive!) and late models. I guess the next closest to you are Iowa, Chicago and Michigan? Do you go to any of those races as well? <br>

Thanks and keep up the great work! <br>
[[User:Cavanaughs|Cavanaughs]] ([[User talk:Cavanaughs|talk]]) 03:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
:I know who you are of course! Thanks for the compliments on the many photographs. It has been a fun ride seeing so many races in person. I went to all of the NASCAR races in Wisconsin but nowhere else. Road America is about a half hour drive and Milwaukee less than 1 1/2 hours. I looked at Chicagoland last year but I had plans (and it was many hours away). Here are the times: Chicagoland 3 1/2 hours, Indianapolis 5 1/2 hours, Iowa 6 hours, Michigan 6 1/2 hours and Gateway 7 hours. I usually limit to 2 hours but make occasional exceptions. I travel on vacations yearly and have seen the outside of following NASCAR tracks [all were when no race was happening] - Michigan (back before digital photography), Watkins Glen (in 2019), Las Vegas (in 2018 and took aerial photographs as I flew back at takeoff out of Las Vegas!). I saw a Busch Series practice at Daytona in January 2001 (190 mph is INSANELY fast - I had a film camera and could hardly get any good photographs!). I also saw Five Flags Speedway (FL) in winter, Burke Airport (Cleveland), Brainerd International Raceway (MN) (back in 1997 before digital - see my picture of the sign), and a few smaller asphalt tracks along with dozens of dirt tracks. My trackchaser total is 74 in (WI, IL, MI, IN, SD, OR, WA).

:Because of the whole COVID situation, I have decided to not go to races in person until I feel comfortable with going after the virus is well under control. I know that I ''could'' go but I feel it is far too dangerous. I know that very few racing fans agree with me and almost everyone is flocking to the tracks in groves. Almost no one is wearing masks. If I would have gone anywhere, it would have been Road America since there are 4 miles of track to spread out over. I used money that I would have spent on attending races and bought a subscription to a service that shows almost nightly races from around the country. Since mid June, I watched over 110 races at 65 tracks. I had attended races at only a few of these tracks in person because they are in Wisconsin (Slinger Super Speedway, Wisconsin International Raceway, 141 Speedway, Beaver Dam Raceway, Plymouth Dirt Track, Langlade County Speedway and Kokomo (Indiana)). The most exciting was watching the reopening of Huset's Speedway which was a big deal in the dirt world. I had attended weekly races there once in 2016 and not many races were held before closing. I really enjoyed watching for the first time dwarf cars from California and the Big Block modifieds of New England. The race cars used at local tracks really vary depending on where you are in the country. 

:At the Road America race, I take hundreds of photographs and upload the best one of each driver. Then I check the article to see if it improves what's currently there. I stand behind a fence near the track and photograph upwards as the driver climbs a hill standing in the back of a pickup truck. Later I take photographs of each car as they go "slowly" go around turn 6. I stay for several laps and try to photograph each car on each lap.

== I had a moment ... ==

and wanted to say thanks for the [[Bob Senneker|Bob's]] article.  When PRA (Pittsburgh Racing Association) closed down 74-75 (Heidelberg was sold out to be a shopping center) Our family took to following ASA and Senneker was really big reason.  We had hit a lot of the ASA events when it didn't conflict with our home track/organization, so we knew the drivers and had some friends in the stands.  Senneker was every bit as good as Rusty, or Kulwicki back then.  By 75 I graduated, got a full time job and soon a g/f (future wife) and soon move out.  I was also going to a community college 3 nights a week, so I didn't go as often as the rest of my family.  Bob is a super guy, but very very quiet; almost to the point of being awkwardly shy.  I think track announcers almost dreaded having to interview him when it won (which was VERY often) because it was like pulling teeth.  We always went to the pits after the races, and I remember asking him once why he didn't make a career out of NASCAR.  His answer kind of surprised me, but I understood.  I can't quote, but he said basically that the cars were a lot heaver in NASCAR, didn't handle as well, and that just made them a lot less enjoyable to drive.  He drove because he enjoyed it, and even though it was a successful career - he truly love driving.  Just a racing memory I thought I'd share.  Hope you and yours are well RB.  Stay safe, and enjoy life. (by the way - what kind of camera equipment do you use?)  Best always - Ched. [[User:Ched|— Ched]] ([[User talk:Ched|talk]]) 05:17, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
:Great memories of Bob, thanks for sharing! I remember watching him a lot on ASA races in the 1990s. I knew that he deserved an article,even before I found out that he had a few NASCAR starts. I had the impression that he was quieter, not like Mike Eddy. I met Bryan Reffner while pitting a few times for his nephew and he was the same type of quiet - even when it was just his family and me sitting in their trailer waiting out a shower. 

:I have 2 main cameras right now, both Canon. Both are prosumer level (between consumer and professional level). I had a [[Canon EOS 70D|70D]] and I replaced it with a [[Canon 77D|77D]] when the shutter broke. I needed a good camera because the NASCAR race at Road America was coming up soon, so I bought the 77D. I later got the 70D fixed. Both are at about the same level even though the 70D is supposed to be better. The 77D has more features and the technology improved. As far as lenses, I would definitely get Image Stabilization in any lens that I would buy. For racing, you'd want a telephoto. It's always good to hear from you, Ched!

Table reflects values at 7:00 PM Eastern on August 31.<br>'''Monthly goal: Focus on the sources.''' In the thick of Silly Season, it is easy for random people to make a website, perpetuate a rumor, and have that be picked up here. Two sites that have proven to be big on rumors before, and sometimes eating it in a big way, are Beyond the Flag and TobyChristie.com. Please use other sources, such as NASCAR.com, Jayski.com, or team/driver releases as citations in articles. Additionally, there has been a decline in the quality of the new work being generated by the project. New content, related to silly season or not, should always be reliably sourced so we can avoid the ugly <nowiki>{{refimprove}}</nowiki> tags at the top of articles.

:It's about time that NASCAR shakes up the schedule. I have been talking about it for years. I know that dirt at Bristol got the headlines, but I was excited to hear that Cup is back at Road America! Road America is located almost in my backyard. Too bad about Chicagoland as I looked a little at going last year. It's a long drive though.

Adding in new pages for Garrett Gerloff and MotoAmerica at large. Just trying to get this information all caught up and was wondering if you have more recent photos lying around. I have noticed you talking on the overall Motorcycle Racing Project.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bourneclient|Bourneclient]] ([[User talk:Bourneclient#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bourneclient|contribs]]) 00:51, 15 October 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I just went twice to motorcycle racing at Road America on June 2, 2013 and May 31, 2015. Can you give me any more specific information on what you're looking for (bike #, class, time of day, etc.) so I don't have to check through hundreds or thousands of images?

Belated thanks for your edits to [[User:Alden Loveshade/Raegan Revord]]. I'm looking for a photo we can use on Wikipedia.

:{{ping|Alden Loveshade}} You're welcome. I was looking for the article as a Wikipedia consumer and was surprised to find one of the main cast members of a hit television show had been deleted.

I am the (re)creator of the current Revord article. While I disagree with any policy that forces us to keep Revord unlinked from the Young Sheldon Article (as the only main cast member), especially since I see lots of Wikipedia articles on far less visible actresses that are allowed to stay, as far as I can see no edit since the AfD deletion helped towards the notability issue. That is, I see edits making it clear she is notable and discussed generally, but nothing specifically towards any of the three criteria stipulated by [[WP:ENTERTAINER]] which is the only deciding factor. I just want to explain that this is why your AFC was denied. In other words, until she takes a second significant role or, I guess, develops a "cult" following, there's little point in trying.

In one edit on [[Shoreline Metro]], my photo of a bus in service was removed because he claimed permissions were questionable and the photo was posed.

== Indy car constructor cats ==

Hi Royalbroil. Thanks for your recent assistance with those Indy car constructor articles. Something I'd like your opinion on: In cases where an "xxx (constructor)" article has been moved to a person's name (e.g. [[Marchese (constructor)]] was moved to [[Carl Marchese]]), do you think [[:Category:Formula One constructors (Indianapolis only)]] and [[:Category:American racecar constructors]] should be transferred to the "person's name" article, or remain attached to the "(constructor)" redirect? We currently have some inconsistency in this regard. I lean toward attaching the categories to the "person's name" article. What do you think? Thanks.

:I never thought about this topic before so I did research. Per [[Wikipedia:Categorizing_redirects#Redirects_having_a_target_that_is_incompatible_with_the_category|this section]] in [[Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects]], I would put the redirect into [[:Category:American racecar constructors]]. A person is not a racecar constructor but their team is.

== race stuff ==

Hey RB, how goes it?  Couple things: 1. I've been digging out some old photos and uploading, and I came across a couple folders that may be of some use.  ASA 2007 at Bristol, and ISMA 2007 at Jennerstown.  Are there any cars from either of those venues you'd (or {{TPW}}ers) would like to see uploaded?  2. I found a couple pics for [[Bob Senneker]] and [[Toledo Speedway]] that I added, not the best for Bob, but I'll likely run across more over the next couple weeks and will try to improve on what's there.  Hope you're doing well, and all your projects are getting going well.  Best always, [[User:Ched|— Ched]] ([[User talk:Ched|talk]]) 04:48, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
:I'm doing well, very slowly getting back into going places compared to most people. I have been helping on Wikipedia with a new article on [[Dave Watson (racing driver)]] (by the way, how his NASCAR career ended is an interesting read), as well as significant work on [[Bobby Unser]]. I would say upload whatever good images that you have! I'd especially love to see an image of [[Bryan Reffner]] or his car. For that matter, any of the ASA greats like Senneker, Eddy, Butch Miller, St. Amant, Cywinski, etc. Almost every ASA champion has an article. I always enjoyed watching an ASA race and I watched as many as I could (starting when I got cable TV in 1991).

:: I did notice the Unser editing, and the Watson article looks good, but indeed it's a sad ending for his career.

I did however find [http://www.ultimateracinghistory.com/asawinners.htm this page] while searching, could be of some use I suppose.  Most of my race pics from 1975-2005 were destroyed in our [[Hurricane Katrina|Katrina flood]], but I'll keep digging through what I have and try to finds some good stuff to upload.

==Are you at Road America right now?==
Hi Royalbroil, <br>
I have the same question to you as last year, although rephrased because the Road America race weekend is going on now (when I'm posting this talk page message). If you are there, I hope that you took a look at the list of drivers, crew chiefs and broadcasters without pictures ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_NASCAR/To-do#Articles_that_do_not_have_images click here)] before leaving and are trying to take pictures of those on that list that are at the track if you see them (during driver intros or at any other time during the weekend).

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[[User:Cavanaughs|Cavanaughs]] ([[User talk:Cavanaughs|talk]]) 19:22, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
:I didn't go this year either. I'm planning to go to some smaller local tracks starting later this month to get back into it. I thought a little about going to the Xfinity race. I expected much more attendance that what showed up. I probably would have been okay with the number of people who were sitting where I usually sit. Of course the new Cup race is drawing the crowd tomorrow. They were expecting to sell out all of the parking spaces in the ENOMORMOUS 4 mile facility and they charged $10 to park (it's always been free parking at Road America before this). It's hard to imagine selling out about 2 miles of track where they can park 10+ cars wide for most of it! They're busing in fans from a nearby high school and not charging to park there. They were expecting such a large crowd that they were talking about closing out ticket sales for the race early! I won't be surprised to see 100,000 people there. I had heard estimates of 40,000 to 50,000 for the Xfinity races in the past. Racing is HUGE in Wisconsin. I recently heard that an unadvertised off-road race at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway brought 46,000 people on Labor Day weekend last year and that's despite some people not going with COVID concerns (it normally brings in about 40,000 people including me). I always take photographs of all of the drivers, even at a local track. I considering going to the ARCA race at the Milwaukee Mile in late August (and I'd snap pics by the thousands of course).

== How we will see unregistered users ==

<section begin=content/>
Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].

We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you.

== [[WP:AFC]] Helper News ==

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our [[WP:AFCP|AFC participants]]; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
*AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
*The template {{t|db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{t|db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at [[WT:AFC]]. Stop on by, maybe [[toolforge:randomincategory/Pending_AfC_submissions&server=en.wikipedia.org&namespace=2!118&type=page|review a draft]] on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future.

Beginning January 1, 2023, administrators who meet one or both of the following criteria may be desysopped for inactivity if they have:

==Are you going to Road America this weekend?==
Hi Royalbroil, <br>
If you're going to the Cup and Xfinity Series races at Road America this weekend, I bet you'll be taking lots of pictures as you've done in past years! Here are the drivers, crew chiefs and broadcasters that will be there [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_NASCAR/To-do#Articles_that_do_not_have_images that don't have pictures of themselves in their article infoboxes]. Have your camera ready and try to take pictures of all of these people at the track if you see them (during driver intros or at any other time during the weekend)!

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

'''Drivers:'''
* [[Patrick Gallagher (racing driver)|Patrick Gallagher]] (RSS No. 38, Xfinity)
* [[Kyle Tilley]] (LFM No. 78, Cup)

''There are also a few drivers who could use better images such as [[Kyle Weatherman]] (who has a helmet on in his pic) and [[Sammy Smith]] (who has a mask on in his pic).''

'''Crew chiefs:'''
* [[Steve Addington]] (RSS No. 38, Xfinity)
* [[Ben Beshore]] (JGR No. 18, Cup)

* [[Alex Yontz]] (Kaulig No. 11, Xfinity)

''[[Cliff Daniels]] also needs a picture but he has been suspended so he won't be at the track. [[Dave Rogers (NASCAR)|Dave Rogers]] and [[Peter Sospenzo]] also might or might not be at the track. They work in advisory roles for 23XI Racing and Spire Motorsports, respectively. IDK if they go to every race. You can also take pictures of crew chiefs that don't yet have articles in case they do get articles in the future.''

'''TV broadcasters:'''

==Are you at the Xfinity Series race at Road America today?==
Hi Royalbroil, <br>
IDK if you've "retired from editing" (you haven't made an edit since August 4th of last year but [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Royalbroil you have uploaded some images to Wikimedia this month]), but if you haven't and you're at the Xfinity Series race at Road America today, try to take pictures of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_NASCAR/To-do#Articles_that_do_not_have_images people that don't have pictures of themselves in their article infoboxes]. All the drivers competing in the race have pictures although [[Kyle Weatherman]] does not have a picture without his helmet on. (Although I bet you'd take pictures of as many drivers as you can regardless!) Crew chiefs [[Steve Addington]] (RSS No. 38 driven by Joe Graf Jr.), [[Jeff Meendering]] (JGR No. 18 driven by Sammy Smith), [[Pat Tryson]] (BJMM No. 78 driven by Anthony Alfredo) and [[Alex Yontz]] (Kaulig No. 10 driven by A. J. Allmendinger) have articles but do not have pictures so hopefully you see them and take pictures of them (especially if Allmendinger wins the race and Yontz is in victory lane)! The same goes for NBC pit reporter Kevin Lee, who does not have an article but could get one at some point in the future.

== [[Wikipedia:The World Destubathon|The World Destubathon]] ==
Hello. You're invited to participate in [[Wikipedia:The World Destubathon|The World Destubathon]]. We're aiming to destub a lot of articles and also improve longer stale articles. It started today on Monday June 16 and will run until Sunday July 13. There is over $3300 going into it, with $500 the top prize. If you are interested in winning something to save you money in buying books for future content, or just see it as a good editathon opportunity to see a lot of articles improved for subjects which interest you, sign up on the page in the participants section if interested. I'm hoping to see some of our older stale US articles improved! Even if you can only manage a few articles they would be very much appreciated and help make the content produced as diverse and broad as possible! ♦ [[User talk:Dr. Blofeld|<span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span>]] 20:10, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
