Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Footprint Center a different title by cutting its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into PHX Arena. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you. oknazevad (talk) 14:17, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If a racing driver does not take the green flag of a race, they did not start the race and should be listed as a DNS in results tables. MOH is the proper abbreviation for the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, not MDO. Electricmemory (talk) 18:24, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please only revert the IP vandalism, and not my legitimate edits. Electricmemory (talk) 18:26, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits were incorrect, which is why they were reverted. Assadzadeh (talk) 19:55, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your points:

• Please provide a source that confirms that if a driver does not take the green flag, then they should be listed as a DNS in the results tables. Otherwise, McLaughlin will be listed as finishing in 33rd place, per IndyCar's official results.
• The correct abbreviation for Mid-Ohio is MDO, not MOH. Please refer to the race results for other drivers. Assadzadeh (talk) 18:29, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DNS means Did Not Start. A green flag is the race start. it's not rocket science.

Mid-Ohio is only listed as MDO in Indycar results tables. It's incorrect and they should all be changed to MOH. See for example the tables in every NASCAR article. Electricmemory (talk) 18:32, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I will wait until after official race results have been published by IndyCar before arguing further. However, if you are going to change it on McLaughlin's page, then you need to change it on 2025 Indianapolis 500 too, to be consistent, but I don't think other editors will agree with the change.
• Results tables for IndyCar drivers don't need to be consistent with those for NASCAR drivers. So, unless you are going to update the tables for every IndyCar driver, past and present, then please leave them as they are. Assadzadeh (talk) 18:41, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Assadzadeh It appears IndyCar did indeed classify McLaughlin, however this is uncommon as usually a driver who didn't take the green flag is a DNS. As for the Mid-Ohio abbreviation, it needs to be as consistent as possible among all tables to avoid confusion. Should it be MOH or MDO? Electricmemory (talk) 20:39, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  That may be the case in NASCAR or F1, but as far as I know, a DNS in IndyCar is when a driver does not even attempt to start the race (e.g. a driver who crashes their car during the morning practice session and the pit crew is unable to repair it in time for the afternoon race), not when a driver crashes prior to the green flag.

  As for the Mid-Ohio abbreviation, I have always seen MDO for IndyCar race results. So, if it's MOH for NASCAR, then hundreds, if not thousands of drivers' race results tables would have to be updated to make them consistent with each other.

  You are welcome to post a message on Wikipedia:WikiProject American Open Wheel Racing for others' opinions. Assadzadeh (talk) 20:59, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  See for example Isack Hadjar at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix. Odd that it'd be different.

  It's MDO on nearly every IndyCar-related page, and MOH for every single NASCAR page. Regardless of what you think it should be, it really should be consistent among all. I've added a note on that talk page. Electricmemory (talk) 21:12, 20 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Assadzadeh! I noticed you've been formatting some tables for historical WNBA seasons. Thanks for the help! I just wanted to mention that a lot of the historical season pages need a lot of work too. I've created a list over on the project page. I know this is a huge amount of work and some of us have been plugging away at it as we can. Just wanted to make you aware. Swimmer33 (talk) 13:26, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Swimmer33 Yes, starting with 1997 WNBA season and up through 2024 WNBA season, I've added tables to the Awards section for Player of the Week, All-WNBA, All-Defensive, and All-Rookie teams, if they were missing, and changed the formatting so that the articles are consistent with each other. I do have some comments, though:

• Although the weekly and monthly awards are announced as the season progresses, once the end-of-the-season awards (e.g., MVP, All-WNBA teams) are announced, they should be listed at the beginning of the section, as they're more important than the others and provide an overview of the season. So, I have been moving the end-of-the-season awards to the beginning of the section.
• The end-of-the-season awards were listed under the heading Postseason awards, which I felt was misleading, since they're awarded based on performance during the season and not the postseason. So, I split the table in two and created separate headings Individual and Team to differentiate between the two award categories.
• I added a reference from the WNBA to each season's section that correlates the weekly, monthly, and end-of-the-season award winners. I note that the Finals MVP is also listed in the article's end-of-the-season table, but it is in fact a postseason award. While I don't have an issue with this, a separate reference needs to be provided for it.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to improve this section as I'm still going through the seasons. Assadzadeh (talk) 15:18, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• • I think what you've done looks good! I don't have any issues with how you've changed up the tables. You're right, a separate reference for Finals MVP would need to be provided, but it might be difficult to find. The award page only has one reference so you could always use that one going back. Generally, I've tried to make pages look similar to their NBA counter parts. I think the tables are a clearer way to show awards as opposed to what the NBA season pages show. Thanks for all your help! Swimmer33 (talk) 17:05, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is a discussion at the above linked talk page regarding the placing of flag icons on IndyCar teams that you may be interested in based off your last edit to 2025 Indianapolis 500. For full disclosure, I agree with the edit you made. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" _(hihi) 02:02, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I also notified the IP you reverted of the same discussion. ―"Ghost of Dan Gurney" _(hihi) 02:05, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
