Talk:Gary Gabelich

message: Was Gabelich born in Croatia?  It was Yugoslavia at the time, right?  When did the Nazis take over?
I question the significance of mentioning Gabelich's Croatian origin over at The Blue Flame page.
:Hello IP 65.24... . Gary was born in San Pedro. His parents are from Hvar. And this isn´t a page about Blue Flame or Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia#Downfall_of_the_Kingdom -- Crato 11:15, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Rewrote most of the article because much of it was directly copied from private websites which can be a copyright violation. Here is one of the sites http://thevelvetrocket.com/2009/06/27/gary-gabelich/ and compare to the article as it appeared here in the delivery van section. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gary_Gabelich&oldid=600712842
Restructured the paragraphs and sentences to follow a time line better. Added many more wiki links. There are also links to as of yet non-existent articles that should be created due to the notability. Speed shop is one such suggestion so go for it. You can say you created an article. Another article creation suggestion is Big Joe Reath a NHRA legend.
Referencing could use the attention of a reference guru. The link is there but they could use much improvement as my wiki abilities with referencing guidelines (if there is any standard) is in need of improvement. 
Another contention that I ran into was some want to promote Gary's parents ethnicity above his LSR. He is famous as a world record breaker and not for his ethnicity which likely would of been of little concern in the SOCAL American drag scene of the 1960's. It is included under his personal life. Much information about his family was also added. 172.56.11.26 (talk) 11:14, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: True that Gary set the world LSR, BUT a biography is not about one achievement, but about an entire lifes achievements, so therefore it would not be very "encyclopedic" to not mention the entirety of Gary's life including his heritage, which, according to Bud Rasner of the racing scene, he was very proud of.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.110.86.22 (talk) 09:40, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Preceding comment added by Sock of banned editor IRONGRON from Optusinternet New South Wales, Australia which is the same location as his other socks concerning the same articles and same argument. Irongron needs to follow the resolution process instead of trying to evade the block. He has stated he is done with wikipedia but obviously is not. See here for confirmation. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:IRoNGRoN&direction=prev&oldid=605225535 and here: http://www.iplocationtools.com/122.110.86.22.html 172.56.11.181 (talk) 01:07, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There are thousands of people on that subnet, please do not accuse me of something I know nothing of. It seems your paranoia about this irongron person has gotten to you. Maybe you should take a break, or see your therapist!!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.110.83.19 (talk) 05:56, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  The so called false copyright violation regarding the "delivery van section" from the velvet rocket article mentioned at the top of this section actually occurred on 24 September 2008 here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gary_Gabelich&diff=240721689&oldid=239243271. It's a shame that wikipedias standards are lowerd by people who accuse others of false violations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.56.31.175 (talk) 01:37, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
