I was wondering if you'd care to chime in on something Zappa brought to my attention. He and I are torn on whether to include any mention of all the throwback schemes in the 2015 Bojangles' Southern 500 article. There's certainly a lot of fanfare and Zappa says he's got plenty of sources for the schemes, but he and I aren't sure if it's notable enough considering we never track paint scheme changes from one race to the next and the throwback schemes won't affect the outcome of Sunday's race. What's your thoughts?--Nascar king 02:17, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I just saw your note at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2006 UAW-Ford 500/archive3. I do understand your frustration (especially since this is the third nomination) but it was actually quite a way off from achieving consensus to promote. I don't know why, but sports articles of all kinds have always struggled to attract attention at FAC. --Laser brain (talk) 11:16, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

Once Ian is back from vacation I will be happy to review the article. I've been trying to stay away from reviewing because only Graham and I are working as FAC coordinators right now and we don't want to have to recuse from any nominations while Ian is unavailable. Let me know when you renominate it, in case I don't notice. Hopefully the other folks who have provided reviews and/or support will be willing to revisit. --Laser brain (talk) 13:09, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

I probably won't be doing any reviewing until Ian Rose returns from wikibreak, since we are down to two FAC delegates and can't handle recusals very efficiently. If it's still open when Ian returns, I'll be glad to review it. --Laser brain (talk) 19:48, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Saw this ping, but I know nothing of auto racing, so reading it might prove to be a chore for me, unfortunately. I've found a ton of sources; shoot me an email for any excerpts you might want.

Well done! Saw it listed as a new FA in the Signpost. It was surreal to be reading the magazine and come across an image that I took. I spent a massive amount of time working on the Alan Kulwicki article just for it to fail at FAC; it shouldn't be too much work to finish it if you're interested...

Hi Bentvfan54321, I've noticed you adding the Wikiproject Motorsport tag to a large number of American racing articles, together with the American Open Wheel Racing one. As a general rule of thumb, it is not always necessary to add the tag of the parent Wikiproject (WP Motorsport) on the talk page if the article in question is wholly within the remit of a child project. So for example, an article about an Indycar race would only need the WP American Open Wheel Racing tag, while one for a driver who also competed outside of America needs to have both tags. It is, of course, entirely harmless to add both to an article, and it certainly isn't wrong, but it may make your job easier in the future if you only add the one when necessary.

Hi Bentvfan54321, It was me who edits Kyle Busch's NASCAR results all the time. I think you are wrong - that different colors are for positions 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-43. It doesn't matter if the driver finished the race or not as you said (regular visitor doesn't care anyway, he wants to see just that finishing position). And by the way - I edited all Kyle Busch's results and no one but you claimed it's wrong. And for example, take a look at 2008 Nationwide Series race at Kentucky (No. 16) - Kyle finished 30th, he wasn't running at the finish and the color is different than at 2015 Xfinity Series race at Homestead (No. 33) and no one cares. So what's the problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mannoroth81 (talk • contribs) 11:13, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm old school and want to use the past tense when talking/writing about things that happened in the past. Either I'm just noticing it more lately or people really are more often using the present tense for everything which I find unnecessarily confusing. Your comment when changing my change from 'was' to 'is' had the acronym MOSTV which I don't recognize. I'd love to hear your thoughts, references, etc. behind your 'is'. Thanks!
