NASCAR

Hi. Adding a "Perceptions of NASCAR" section was discussed in the talk page. It is highly approporiate to include that section in the article because Wiki wants opposing points of view in an article. Anyone you talk to wo doesn't like NASCAR will tell you its either because (1) only rednecks watch it (according to them) or (2) the sport is boring. I do agree in finding more demographics to either support these perceptions or disprove them. But, I think those general opposing POV statements should remain (and, no, I don't agree with them).69.134.50.15322:22, 26 July 2005 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for adding some counterpoints to the Perceptions section. I wonder if the argument that their are more tracks in PA and WI counter the perception that their are rednecks in NASCAR (what if the people going to thos tracks are rednecks, are all those tracks NASCAR sanctioned). I would still like to find more demographic information regarding the fan base that would show whether they are redneck or not (political orientation, living conditions, etc). Otherwise, good job. 69.134.50.15316:35, 27 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

It took me a bit to find any information on the Kentucky International Convention Center and it's "arena". I see you are sometimes busy with arena articles as well. Good job on those that I've seen! Patken422:57, 29 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
Conference Tournement Locations

Out of curiousity, how are you finding the men's basketball tournement locations? I've tried looking at conference websites, only to find most don't have anything, particularly the smaller ones. Is there a website that I haven't found yet? Thanks in advance. Patken421:57, 12 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I found some information on most of the venues that didn't have articles. I can't find much on Center Stage Theatre in Atlanta other than a few concerts were held there in the 90's. Thanks for alerting me to the page, though! Patken422:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

I disagree on the grounds that what you deem to be "mainstream" is your judgment. The group exists with close to ten thousand members in dozens of states nationwide...it should be called a "group" without your qualifiers. WillC21:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Nambla also has at least a thousand members in states throughout the country. Would you classify them as outside the mainstream? What is your breaking off point? Clearly 10,000 out of millions is not a significant membership. Would you accept "small" as a description? 155.84.57.25321:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Everybody who has ever lived in the South, white, black or purple, knows what it means when you fly a confederate flag. There is no ambiguity there, no uncertainty. None. Mervyn Emrys (talk) 18:36, 28 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
Thomas Jefferson
Latest comment: 2 July 20061 comment1 person in discussion
Nope, you're right, I was confused. Goochland, at one time, encompassed what's now over half a dozen counties. Jefferson was born in Shadwell then. Shortly thereafter Albemarle was broken off which, in turn, was divided up not too long after that, including dividing off some of what is now Goochland. One begat the other begat the other; at the point when Jefferson was born, Goochland had not yet produced Albemarle. Had he been born somewhat later -- which is what I was thinking -- then he would have been born in Albemarle before it spawned a portion of Goochland.
Is the Atlanta Memorial Auditorium the same as the Municipal Auditorium (Atlanta)? The dates for the venues opening and closing match those I found here. Also if you click list of other venues link on the top left of the page, just underneath the venue information, you might more info on other venues from the Southern Conference. As for the John Jay Center, I couldn't find much Google searchYahoo search. With the Charles L. Sewall Center opening in 1985, there may not be much out there on their old gym.

I've double checked both the article's history and talk page history and I cannot seem to find the instance when you claimed I deleted your work. Can you please cite the time?
As for your comment, talk pages are not about voicing one's opinion if they are not constructive criticisms to better the article. I've noticed that you have added some information, but without any citations. Would you be able to find something that is acceptable to WP:CITE? The Northern Virginia article is fraught with issues, but with a good deal of elbow grease, we can work on improving it together. Cheers! Zidel333 (talk) 13:24, 15 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
Dunning and his School
I am having an interesting time at the Dunning School article. The level of scholarship is appalling, and I am going through it with a fine toothed comb. Please feel free to look at it and see if I'm out of line. I also see where the article on Dunning is largely stolen from a site that is black listed by Wikipedia for surprise : Plagiarism! You can find the page on Google by entering "Dunning lent academic respectability"
I think the plagiarized material should go . If they want it, they need to cite it.Die4Dixie 22:57, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Just take a look at the talk page for slavery, and the talk page for Dunning School and see what you think. Same editor both places."Strong Tone of Academic Racism in this article makes me sick" is the section on the slavery page.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "Template:Mono" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
Table reflects values at 7:00 PM Eastern on April 26. Monthly goal: Improve all top-importance articles to start or better. It is important to pay close attention to the articles that we as a project value the most. Please remember to add reliable sources in all contributions!
Table reflects values at 8:00 PM Eastern on July 30. Monthly goal: Find the backstory. 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.
Shawna Robinson (born November 30, 1964) is an American retired professional stock car racing driver. She was a competitor in all three of NASCAR's national touring series, as well as the ARCA Bondo/Mar-Hyde Series and the Charlotte/Daytona Dash Series. Robinson is one of 16 women to participate in the NASCAR Cup Series, and one of three females to race in the sports' premier event, the Daytona 500.(Read more...)

Table reflects values at 7:00 PM Eastern on August 31. 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 {{refimprove}} tags at the top of articles.
