== [[2010 Showtime Southern 500]] ==
Hi, this is to let you know that your GA nomination [[2010 Showtime Southern 500]] passed and is now a GA. Congratulations! '''<font color="navy">[[User:Xtzou|Xtzou]]</font>''' ''(<font color="green">[[User talk:Xtzou|Talk]]</font>)'' 20:06, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

== WHY? ==
I have no idea who you are, but you keep reverting my Wikipedia edit on [[Jodio Loco Sucio]]. You say it is not constructive. However, it is in fact the true translation. I used Google Translate for the literal meaning, and I happen to be from the Dominican Republic, so not only do I speak the same language as the people who named the band, I also understand the dialect the language is spoken in. It is constructive if it is both 1)the truth and 2)relevant to the topic at hand, meaning my edit is constructive. So, I ask of you to please stop reverting my edit because of the sole reason that you feel it is nonconstructive.
Thank You,

I added some comments, the most important being that you should close the peer review nominate it right away for Good Article because it's ready. Races at the 2 mile cookie cutters were the first ones that I stopped watching because they're boring like this race looked like. Great job with the article! I see that were able to greatly improve on your writing skills since I've last looked at one of your articles!

== Grab some glory, and a barnstar ==
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Backlog elimination drives/July 2010|Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive]]. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the <nowiki>{{copyedit}}</nowiki> tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. <big><font face="Papyrus">[[user talk:mono|<span style="cursor:crosshair"><font color=" gold">m</font><font color=" orange">o</font><font color=" red">n</font><font color=" purple">o</font></span>]]</font></big> 00:51, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

==Re: Featured list==
The main thing I see is that the lead needs to be referenced and developed (the opposite of articles basically; article leads shouldn't have refs, list leads have to). It's good so far, just add in some more notes like you have in the third paragraph (i.e. which make has the most wins, etc.). The table looks good. If you can add images into the sections with tables without causing any issues, that would help greatly. [[List of Formula One Grand Prix winners]] is a decent list to look over if you need further guidance (there are surprisingly few motorsport featured lists, that's probably the best of them). Once you get it to where you think it's good, best thing is to just go for it and hope for the best.

This is an automated message from [[User:CorenSearchBot|CorenSearchBot]]. I have performed a search with the contents of [[:2011 in NASCAR]], and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: [[:2010 in NASCAR]]. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see [[Help:Moving a page]] for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see [[Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia]] and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] to preserve attribution history.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot found similarity where none actually exists.

Hello Nascar1996.

==[[2010 Coke Zero 400]]==
The information that was presented was factual and historic in my re-editing of said item, and represents the North American broadcasts. If you only took the time to look up "2010 Coke Zero 400 in 3-D" on [[Google]], there was factual information. I reverted to my edit as a result. Also, as far as the satellite radio, it is in North America as well. I have been doing this on the NASCAR sections for some time now and it irks me when someone reverts an edit that ''I'' worked hard on. As a result, I must warn you the next time you pull something like this, I will have no choice but to deliver a vandalism warning and report you to a mod. End of story. [[User:NoseNuggets|NoseNuggets]] ([[User talk:NoseNuggets|talk]]) 10:46 PM US EDT June 29 2010.
:I disagree with you. We have a international audience here and they will not know wat Times Warner Cable Television is.

::I pointed out in a rewrite that the [[3-D Television|3-D telecast]] is being made available only in the United States and on the NASCAR.com web site, [[DirecTV]] and the previously mentioned cable systems.
