Lost Wood Brothers Picture
Not sure if you can help, but uploaded a picture of Eddie and Len Wood for the Wood Brothers Racing page...I guess I didn't attach into the page and it won't let me re-upload... Rob Street (talk) 03:15, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Your Fast LOL!!
My picture on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s page should be on the paragraph of 2014 instead '15 but I have no clue how to move it...in the same vein the pic I attached to Hendrick Motorsports of the pit crew member probably should be towards the bottom of the #24 "History" instead of on top of the "Rainbow Car".

Sword Art Online
Hey Zappa, would you mind if I made some changes (basically just content expansion) to User:ZappaOMati/Sinon (Sword Art Online) and User:ZappaOMati/Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization? Or I can just give you some sources, though I guess they're not too hard to find. Or I can just get lost, lol.
Was thinking of starting an article on Hollow Realization then found out you already had one going. Satellizer el Bridget (Talk) 08:16, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

Question
Between the 2016 Thunder and the 2015 Clippers, whose collapse do you think was more devastating. I am referring to playoffs tell me whose collapse was worst between 2016 Thunder and 2015 Clippers. Feel free to move this thread down if you like. --74.129.140.210 (talk) 18:30, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
- I'm probably just letting my bias get in the way, but I'd say the Clippers. The Thunder's collapse was bad, but it was against a team that went 73–9. The fact that the Thunder was even able to win three games against such a dominant team is impressive, so it's not a surprise that the Warriors were able to win. Mati23:57, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
- The Warriors just choked so whose collapse out of the 3 was the most devastating:
- 2015 Clippers (against HOU)
- 2016 Thunder against 73 win GSW
- 2016 Warriors against CLE in NBA finals
- want to ask you again to make sure. --107.77.234.149 (talk) 05:05, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's probably the Warriors now, especially considering how heavily favored they were entering the Finals. Momentum just shifted in Cleveland's favor starting with Game 3. Having the best record in the sport and losing in the playoffs seems to be a common trend nowadays (2007 Pats, 2001 Mariners, 95-96 Red Wings)... ZappaOMati) 15:06, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

- If OKC resigns KD what's your prediction for the 2016-17 Thunder (including playoffs)? How did OKC collapse like this? Who would you blame for blowing a 3-1 deficit to 73 win GSW? --107.77.234.149 (talk) 16:42, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
- I'm still optimistic for the future, regardless of whether or not Durant is resigned. It's just way too early to predict how the 2016–17 season would go, especially with free agency and the draft not having even started yet. Not many people expected the Thunder would even make it this far into the playoffs; I wouldn't really blame anyone for blowing that 3–1 lead, though. It's a team sport, and if there's anyone to blame, everyone gets a chunk of it. As I said, the Warriors are a great team, and they were bound to fight back. ZappaOMati) 17:33, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

- Okay, that might be stressing my knowledge a little too much. As much as I know about the team and the players' backgrounds, I know absolutely nothing about the fans and their backgrounds. Sorry.
- Ugh! That girl looks so cute. Do you agree? She does look pretty doesn't she? You know which one I mean? How did you felt after your Sharks lost to the finals?Where you really heartbroken and was your feeling about it how Packers fans felt after Seattle NFC title game? How did you felt? Have you been to a sharks game? What's 5 NBA and hockey teams you hate the most? --107.77.234.149 (talk) 03:31, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- She's pretty far away, so I can't really say too much, to be honest, but I do see who you're referring to. Her, correct? Anyway, to answer your question about the Sharks, it hurts, but being it was the furthest the team's reached ever, I can't say I'm too disappointed. I've never been to a Sharks game before, unfortunately, and as for your last question... I don't really have any teams in particular that I hate, but in terms of teams I dislike, most of the rivals (LA Kings for Sharks, for example) fill those slots. Mati03:59, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

- Yes that's the girl. How do you think she felt after game 6? I like Splash Brothers but however, I HATE the Warriors. Do you hate GSW? I call them the Overrated State Warriors. I hate them and the Blazers more than the Spurs. Blazers and Thunder are rivals since they play in the same division that's another slot. Do you hate the Blazers too? I would love if you tweet KD to stay if you can because I want to win a championship and he should not pay anywhere else except OKC. KD plays for a contender don't you agree? OKC is a contender. KD should stay. --107.77.234.149 (talk) 04:38, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- I'd say she probably felt the same way all Thunder fans felt: Like Sharks fans after they surrendered that 3–0 lead in the playoffs a few years ago, but slightly reduced since (as I mentioned) the Warriors were the best team in the league. Being I live in Warriors territory, I can't really say I hate the Warriors without getting crucified eventually, but it's more of a mutual dislike. I'd love to see Durant stay, but as I have learned, nothing is guaranteed. He'll stay if he wants to, and leave if he wants to. ZappaOMati) 15:16, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

- Thunder-Blazers rivalry is a good example to be in slot and a dislike. Who did Sharks choked a 3-0 lead against? Don't you feel Thunder-Warriors 2016 WCF was like Seahawks-Packers 2014 NFC Championship? --107.77.234.149 (talk) 15:25, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- Sharks lost against the Kings, and the rivalry between the two is usually a pretty heated one, so the Sharks winning the rematch in this year's playoffs was probably one of the sweetest moments. The Thunder/Warriors series definitely felt like the Packers/Seahawks game, though the Sharks/Kings one felt pretty similar as well. ZappaOMati) 15:32, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

- Where you and the Sharks fans feeling the same way Packers fans felt after Seattle? Which NFL playoff game do you think Thunder Spurs felt like? --107.77.234.149 (talk) 15:43, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
- Definitely, maybe even worse. It hurts to lose in the playoffs, but it hurts even more when you blow such a lead, and even worse when it's against a rival. I'd say the Thunder/Spurs series felt like the Redskins/Bears divisional round in 1986. As a whole, the Thunder's 2015–16 postseason felt like Washington's 1986 playoff record: Both teams won easily in the first round, upset a dominant team in the next, before losing to the top team in the league in the conference championship.

I can give you an example like some guy on Twitter is a Jags fan in Houston but hates the Texans you don't have to like the team in your state, Bay Area. Are a lot of people you see are Sharks, Overrated State Warriors, OKC Thunder, and Packer fans. Do you follow KD and Westbrook on Twitter I understand wiki isn't a forum but just want to know. --107.77.234.149 (talk) 01:15, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
- Alright, hopefully these are the last questions here (create a Twitter account if you don't have one and join the conversation there), but most people I know are fans of the Bay Area teams and a few other teams like the Packers, Patriots and Thunder. And yes, I follow Durant and Westbrook. Mati01:33, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

- I will close this out by saying take care Zappa and good luck with whatever your doing. Sorry if I made this too long but I just couldn't stop talkin. Try to tweet KD to stay if you want since I think the fans love him (you saw how OKC was in 2014-15 when KD got hurt). Again, I'm sorry if I made this conservation long. I will close out by saying good night and take care Zappa. Wish you the best. --107.77.234.149 (talk) 05:04, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Kevin Durant
Hey ZappaOMati, could you reply to this message and tell me if you think Kevin Durant will stay. Do you think in your opinion Kevin Durant will stay in OKC? I heard there is a 90% chance he is staying. But careful though, the Warriors are a serious threat to steal him away. I see his decision either staying in OKC or going to the Overrated State Warriors. Could you please tell me what you think Kevin Durant will do? Thanks! --107.77.233.162 (talk) 05:29, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
- Zappa, could you please reply how come you don't reply to talkpage messages anymore? Could you please tell me if you think KD will stay? Thanks! --2607:FCC8:BC8B:6DF0:9481:62F1:DD3F:4B97 (talk) 03:08, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

DYK for J. R. Heffner
On 30 July 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article J. R. Heffner, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that race car driver J. R. Heffner is his sponsor's vice president of operations? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/J. R. Heffner. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, J. R. Heffner), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Allen Walker FAN
Hello ZappaOMati. I recently nominated the article Allen Walker to FA in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Allen Walker/archive1. While I got two supports after fixing some issues the commenters provided, it has become quite inactive this past week. I wonder if you could provide feedback before the nomination fails due to lack of commenters. Anyways, good luck editing articles. Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 23:35, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup
WikiProject Good Articles's 2016-2017 GA Cup ![]() Greetings, all! We would like to announce the start of the 4th Good article nominations ! Thus far, there have been three GA Cups, which were successful in reaching our goals of significantly reducing the traditionally long queue at GAN, so we're doing it again. Currently, there are over 400 nominations listed. We hope that we can again make an impact this time.
The 4th GA Cup will begin on November 1, 2016. Four rounds are currently scheduled (which will bring the competition to a close on February 28, 2017), but this may change based on participant numbers. We may take a break in December for the holidays, depending on the results of a poll of our participants taken shortly after the competition begins. The sign-up and submissions process will remain the same, as will the scoring. Sign-ups for the upcoming competition are currently open and will close on November 14, 2016. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors, so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the judges. Cheers from 3family6, Figureskatingfan, Jaguar, MrWooHoo, and Zwerg Nase. We apologize for the delay in sending out this message until after the competition has started. Thank you to Krishna Chaitanya Velaga for aiding in getting this message out. To subscribe or unsubscribe to future GA Cup newsletters, please add or remove your name to our mailing list. If you are a participant, you will be on the mailing list no matter what as this is the easiest way to communicate between all participants.

Chase Elliott's Darn Truck One-off
So... two of my edits got reverted, by experienced editors, who insist it was Hendrick, not JR or Contreras (this one and this one). While I want to believe them, at the same time, I think we need more proof than a couple of editors who insist "we saw the truck sitting in the shop."
