Have a delightful Christmas and cheers! Also, enjoy this delightful stamp from the Faroe Islands and this WikiCake! Spread the love and joy this christmas!

Can you believe it? In a couple of days Generation Z will stop accepting new members! I can't believe it. Life is going so fast for me. Just dropping by :), Mr. Davis. How sad, that Z will grow up now and become ... who knows? TechOutsider 06:03, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey there TO - yep, perhaps we're getting into generation "WP" now ...lol. Anyway, great to hear from you - hope you're having a wonderful start to the new year. I'll drop a little longer reply as soon as time permits. Cheers and best, — Ched :  ?  17:23, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I bet you're a fan expert in this area like me! I'm working on an article for SpeedWeek (the ESPN program) in my 2nd sandbox. Do you have an references for it? It was a great show and I watched it whenever I could. That show was a big part with why I have such a broad background and interest in working on oddball racing topics. I find TONS of references to the show in blogs and forums, but reliable sources are weak. I hope you are doing well. My new ISP should be installing tomorrow (Thursday) morning and I'm very excited about it. Royalbroil 04:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey there RB - I'll take a look as soon as possible for some refs for that. Still would like to finish up the Pearson article too for smoothing things out a bit, work on some of the sentence stubs and all. Great refs there though - should get through GA without too much problem - may even be FA down the road some day. Anyway - I'll see what I can find for Speedweek ASAP. Hope the new year is starting well for you Cheers and best buddy. :-) — Ched :  ?  17:45, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi: sorry for the delay; to answer your question about photography at LC (taken from their website): "Please observe restrictions on photography. Photography is permitted, EXCEPT at the Bibles, in the Main Reading Room overlook, and in the exhibitions."; basically you can take photos except in the areas they mention.--FeanorStar7 (talk) 07:11, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Happy belated holidays Ched. Hope your New Year is starting out well...I see you've been away since Dec 29. Don't party too much, now! — Huntster (t @ c) 03:57, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey Huntster - my very best wishes to you as well buddy!!! Yep - been extremely busy lately; seems I have all the work I could ever want - and some that I wish I could afford to tell to take it elsewhere ... lol. Win7 seems to be popular these days, and folks trying to salvage old equipment for one more year as well. I prolly shouldn't complain - but it leaves me but a few moments to read through WP to keep up with what's going on - and NO time to do any quality editing lately. Actually I did have (quite) a few drinks at home on New Years Eve, but other than that - time just hasn't allowed me to enjoy the fruits of "buzzdom" like one would hope. 8-) .... anyway - I suspect things will slow for me here shortly - perhaps after the DC meetup I can get back to actually contributing productively to the project (one can hope anyway). Hope to be back at you here shortly my friend, and I hope the new year treats you very kindly. Cheers and as always - BEST, — Ched :  ?  17:31, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Happy new year bud, hope you had a good one. :) -neuro @ 89.242.130.134 (talk) 17:09, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

why are you submitting Huntster for deletion and blocking him and everything? I thought you two were friends. why are you doing this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nosebutton (talk • contribs) 19:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

It's a joke, Nose. Don't worry about it. — Huntster (t @ c) 22:15, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;

• gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and

• ascertain whether there is support for a 'two-phase' poll at the eventual RfC (not far off now), where CDA will finally be put to the community.

Speaking of Updates :) Will you get to WP:Update/3 this month? If not, I'll ask around to see if someone else can do it. - Dank (push to talk) 21:03, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey Dan ... I am very sorry but I'm working 8am to 10 or 11pm lately ... I've tried 3 different employees, and I just can't find good help. I haven't even had time to do any of the NASCAR articles lately. Prolly better if you can find someone else to do that this month. Things usually slow down a bit for me in late March or early April, but with all the new clients I've picked up lately - I just don 't know when I'll get back. I'll do my best to get back here ASAP, and I'll help out then - but right now I'm just too busy. All my best,

The article Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Schools has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no evidence

While all contributions to XIV are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:38, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Steve Titus. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies XIV's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also XIV:Notability and "What XIV is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to XIV:Articles for deletion/Steve Titus (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal was started on the 22nd Feb, and it runs for 28 days. Please note that the existing CDA proposal was (in the end) run as something of a working compromise, so CDA is still largely being floated as an idea.

Also note that, although the RfC is in 'poll format' (Support, Oppose, and Neutral, with Comments underneath), this RfC is still essentially a 'Request for Comment'. Currently, similar comments on CDA's value are being made under all three polls.

Whatever you vote, your vote is welcome!

Regards, Matt Lewis (talk) 11:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Hope everyone is doing well ...and hope to be back soon. — Ched :  ?  05:53, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I've come to you because I know VERY little about XIV and I've noticed you've edited the talk page of an article I have a question about multiple times (and you happen to be an administrator...).

I'm related to Ann B. Davis, and I've noticed her birth-date is incorrect (as well as a few other minor details). I'm going to go out on a limb and say "Because she told me so." is not a valid reference... How would I resolve the issue without having to ask her to scan her birth certificate...

Thank you for your help —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.18.234.15 (talk) 06:18, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Ched is inactive, so I'll answer for him. You're trying to disprove something that appears to be proven since it has a source. You need to find a reliable source which contains the correct birth date. You'll have much easier time if the source is online. Saying that you have the birth certificate wouldn't even work and neither would saying that you're a relative (I would being lying but I could "say" the same thing). Good luck! Royalbroil 00:03, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for keeping an eye open Royalbroil. I'm not sure why I first edited Ms. Davis' page, most likely that it was a vandalism revert some time ago - (no, I'm not related to that Davis family), and RB's advice is accurate as he is much more up to date on the proper links and pages than I am at the moment. Hi to all, and best to everyone! :) — Ched :  ?  16:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Your name was on the 2nd dramaout signup and the organizer of the 2nd one suggested notifying those who signed up the last time. See http://en.wikipedia.org/XIV:The_Great_Wikipedia_Dramaout/3rd#Participating_Wikipedians

and also a mention on WP:ANI. We would love to have you participate! Remember July 5th, the starting date! 20:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I went to Slinger Speedway last Sunday and it made me think about you. It's just as great as it always has been. I uploaded a video to my flickr photostream that I thought you would enjoy! I hope that you are doing well. Royalbroil 04:46, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that you participated in a previous RFC at XIV talk:Notability (events). I was wondering if you might share your opinion here: RFC: Should XIV:Notability (criminal acts) be merged with XIV:Notability (events) and XIV:Notability (people)? Thanks! Location (talk) 19:13, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Article of the month – 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350, new Good Article. The 2010 Toyota/Save Mart 350 was a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stock car race held on June 20, 2010 at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California. Contested over 110 laps, it was the sixteenth race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season and the first of two road course competitions on the schedule. The race was won by Jimmie Johnson, for the Hendrick Motorsports team. Robby Gordon finished second, and Kevin Harvick, who started fourth, clinched third. Conditions were sunny at the start of the race, making the track potentially slippery. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner, but Johnson, who had started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Kahne suffered an ill-handling car during the beginning of the race, causing him to fall to seventh by the sixth lap. Seven laps before the finish, race leader Marcos Ambrose, turned his car off to try to save fuel, but he could not refire the engine and subsequently stalled. He dropped back from the lead to sixth place with seven laps remaining, allowing Kahne to finish fourth and Jeff Gordon fifth. There were eight cautions and twelve lead changes among eight different drivers throughout the course of the race, Johnson's fourth win of the season and his first ever at Infineon. The result moved him up four spots to second in the Drivers' Championship, 140 points behind of leader Kevin Harvick and one ahead of Kyle Busch. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, nine points ahead of Toyota and forty-three ahead of Dodge, with twenty races remaining in the season. (More...)

Article of the month – 2010 Food City 500, a recent good article The 2010 Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee was the fifth race of the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. The race began at 1 p.m. EDT on March 21, 2010. The 2010 Food City 500 was televised on Fox and broadcast on PRN radio. This race marked the last appearance of the rear wing on the Car of Tomorrow, with the spoiler returning the following race. This race also was the first of three in Carl Edwards' probation following his altercation with Brad Keselowski at the previous race at Atlanta Motor Speedway; Keselowski was sent airborne, subsequently crashing on his side door. The race had 13 different leaders, 39 lead changes and 10 cautions. The race attendance of 138,000 marked the end of a long streak of sellout seats at the track, which has a capacity of 158,000. The race had been a sellout since 1982. (More...)

Contested over 200 laps, it was the twenty-third race of the 2010 Sprint Cup Series season. The race was won by Kevin Harvick for the Richard Childress Racing team. Denny Hamlin finished second, and Carl Edwards, who started twenty-fourth, clinched third. Pole position driver Kasey Kahne maintained his lead into the first corner to begin the race, but Jimmie Johnson, who started in the second position on the grid, took the lead before the first lap was over. Afterward, Greg Biffle became the leader, and would eventually lead to the race high of 66 laps. Tony Stewart led after the final pit stops, ahead of Hamlin and Harvick. Harvick helped Hamlin to become the leader, but with twelve laps left, Harvick gained on Hamlin and claimed the first position with eleven lap remaining. Harvick maintained his position to claim his first Sprint Cup victory at Michigan International Speedway. There were five cautions and nineteen lead changes among nine different drivers throughout the course of the race, Harvick's third win of the season. The result maintained the first position in the Drivers' Championship and clinched him a position in the Chase. He remained 293 points ahead of second place driver Jeff Gordon and 353 ahead of Denny Hamlin. Chevrolet maintained its lead in the Manufacturers' Championship, thirty points ahead of Toyota and sixty-one ahead of Ford, with thirteen races remaining in the season. A total of 105,000 people attended the race, while 4.917 million watched it on television. (More...)

Article of the month – Alan Kulwicki, selected as a good article Alan Dennis Kulwicki (December 14, 1954 – April 1, 1993), nicknamed "Special K" and the "Polish Prince", was an American NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now Sprint Cup Series) racecar driver. He started racing at local short tracks in Wisconsin before moving up to regional stock car touring series. Kulwicki arrived at NASCAR, the highest and most expensive level of stock car racing in the United States, with no sponsor, a limited budget, and only a racecar and a borrowed pickup truck. Despite starting with meager equipment and finances, he earned the 1986 NASCAR Rookie of the Year award over drivers racing for well-funded teams. After Kulwicki won his first race at Phoenix International Raceway, he debuted what would become his trademark "Polish Victory Lap". Kulwicki won the 1992 Winston Cup championship by what was then the closest margin in NASCAR history. He died early in 1993 in a light aircraft accident, and was unable to defend his championship. He has been inducted into numerous racing halls of fame and was named one of NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers. Kulwicki was known for being a perfectionist and doing things his own way. An engineer by trade, his scientific approach to NASCAR racing inspires the way teams are now run. Despite lucrative offers from top car owners, he insisted on driving for his own race team, AK Racing, during most of his NASCAR career. Described by his publicist as "a real hard type of person to get to know", he remained a bachelor throughout his life. (More...)

Article of the month – Auto Club Speedway, a recent good article Auto Club Speedway (formerly California Speedway) is a two-mile (3 km), low-banked, D-shaped oval superspeedway in Fontana, California which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1997. The track was also used for open wheel racing events until 2005. The racetrack is located near the former locations of Ontario Motor Speedway and Riverside International Raceway. The track is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation and is the only track owned by ISC to have naming rights sold. The speedway is served by the nearby Interstate 10 and Interstate 15 freeways as well as a Metrolink station located behind the backstretch.Construction of the track, on the site of the former Kaiser Steel Mill, began in 1995 and was completed in late 1996. The speedway has a grandstand capacity of 91,200 and 28 skyboxes. In 2006, a fanzone was added behind the main grandstand. Lights were added to the speedway in 2004 with the addition of a second annual NASCAR weekend. In 2011 the track will host only one NASCAR weekend. (More...)
