From an old friend
I really hope you have now learned that posting on someones discussion page asking them why they did something is not vandalism. Happy editing :) --An old friend —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.208.25.192 (talk) 05:44, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Huggle
Hello there. Just wondering, have you considered asking for your huggle access to be returned? It's been almost 2 months since it was revoked and your recent vandalism reverts appear to be problem free :P Think about it. -FASTILY (TALK) 23:49, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hi, sorry for the late reply. No, I have not considered asking to get my Huggle access back but I will. WayneSlam 22:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

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.

Oh, boy. That is a whole can of worms. Technically, we're not supposed to use those categories unless there is a source that explicitly says so-and-so is African American. Those sources are harder to find than you'd expect. (Although I suspect you could at least find something like that for Rose.) Zagalejo^^^ 01:25, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
