Cleanup, Sources, and Tone
[edit]This article is quite interesting in the historical context of American sports car racing. The writing needs to be cleaned up, however, and I think some better citing of sources would be good. Also, the tone seems to be considerably biased against SCCA.
I'm willing to take a crack at copy-editing this article.

- "...They wanted to keep rules within the United States initially failed..." (from the 'New ownership' section)
- Huh? I can guess at what was intended by this passage, but since I don't know the history I'm not qualified to edit this. Monoblocks (talk) 18:54, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:IMSA logo.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:IMSA logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
I took a look at the image description page; this appears to be done. Wabbott9 (talk) 02:07, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Requested move 6 March 2021
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: both moved. The concerns of the 'conditional support' !voter are noted; if further information comes up to imply that the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC conclusion drawn in this discussion was incorrect, no prejudice against further nomination.

– Overwhelming evidence (Google, pageviews) suggests that both A) the auto racing company is the PRIMARY topic for "IMSA" and B) the abbreviated "IMSA" is the WP:COMMONNAME for said auto racing company. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 13:07, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Support as per nom. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 15:51, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
- Conditional support - Evidence at the other move request discussion at Talk:WeatherTech SportsCar Championship#Requested move 20 January 2021 backs up "IMSA" being the WP:COMMONNAME for this subject, and is likely more recognisable to readers than the full name spelled out. "Imsa" is also a pronounceable word in English. Would switch support to "IMSA ([disambiguator])" if evidence was presented that there was another "IMSA" that is of similar notability and that this is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term.

- Support per nom. Definitely the primary topic for the abbreviation, and the common name for the organisation is definitely the abbreviation. Of course a hatnote would be needed to the disambiguation page if moved. A7V2 (talk) 11:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
