[edit] GA Review
- This review is transcluded from Talk:Adam Copeland/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.
Reviewer: Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 21:11, 7 December 2009 (UTC)
Review forthcoming. I will be reviewing this article in conjunction with Jason Reso, for fairly obvious reasons. Nosleep (Talk · Contribs)
Some comments will be redundant to those listed on Talk:Jason Reso/GA1, so I'll only lightly touch on them here.
- Is it reasonably well written?
- A. Prose quality:
Overall, better than Jason Reso. Here are a few points:
- Mixed in/out of universe Copeland and Cage, Copeland and Christian. Surely Thug Life, made up of Legend, Hardcastle, childhood friend Jason Reso (who went under the ring name "Christian Cage") should be Legend, Hardcastle, Christian Cage (Copeland's childhood friend Jason Reso) or something like that. It's especially maddening to go from "Hardcastle and Reso" in one paragraph to "Copeland and Cage" in the next.
- I think I got it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- That sentence looks good now, but still a few instances of "Copeland and Cage" or "Copeland and Christian," especially in the lead. I appreciate that the lead needs to be written out-of-universe (hence, not referring to "Edge" there), but it's still jarring to see real and ring names mixed together in the same sentence like that.
- A good example of this is Shawn Michaels' article. If you look at the lead, it'll have a bit similarities to this one. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:08, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- Jeez. I find this extremely awkward, but if it's accepted, c'est la vie (la vie). Would you refer to Hulk Hogan as "Bollea" in the lead of his article?
- I would. I mean, he wasn't known as "Hulk Hogan" in his early years, and some mention of his early years should be mentioned in the lead. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:55, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
- I'd expect Bollea was born in... but not, say, Bollea faced Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania But that's neither here nor there.
- I would. I mean, he wasn't known as "Hulk Hogan" in his early years, and some mention of his early years should be mentioned in the lead. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:55, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Putting USD in front of $100,000 seems a bit much.- US?
- How about nothing? There was nothing there in discussion of the same events on Jason Reso. Seems an overlink.
- US?
- Villains = cool dudes amusing the fans ?
- Yes. They amused the fans, whatever city they were they'd wear the jersey's of the sports teams, until they take the jersey off and have the rival jersey on.
- Okay. That can probably be better explained in the article prose.
- Yes. They amused the fans, whatever city they were they'd wear the jersey's of the sports teams, until they take the jersey off and have the rival jersey on.
Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match has been abbreviated to (TLC) in its first instance; why not just use TLC for later instances?- People sometimes don't read the lead, so it'd be best to have it said in the lead, and later in the prose.
- I actually was referring to the Edge and Christian (1998–2001) section: which ultimately led to the creation of the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match (TLC) and They also competed as a team in the first three Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches in the next paragraph.
- People sometimes don't read the lead, so it'd be best to have it said in the lead, and later in the prose.
Throughout mid-2001, Edge was placed in a feud with William Regal for the Intercontinental Championship. Wasn't this actually in 2002?- No, it was in late 2001. [1]
- So were Royal Rumble (2002) and No Way Out (2002) in late 2001, then? ;)
- No, it was in late 2001. [1]
Two months later, he would end up winning the WWE Tag Team Championship (later renamed the World Tag Team Championship) alongside Hulk Hogan on July 4, 2002.[51] Later in the year, Edge and Rey Mysterio won the the newly established WWE Tag Team Championship from the team of Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit.[52] It needs to be clearer that these are two distinct titles. I see that that's attempted with the word "newly established," but the potential for confusion is great, especially as the name change for the "red" belts coincided exactly with the creation of the "blue" belts.- Do you have a suggestion?
- How about Edge and Rey Mysterio won the WWE Tag Team Championship, a new championship that had been specifically created for the SmackDown! brand to parallel the RAW brand's World Tag Team Championship.
- Done.
- How about Edge and Rey Mysterio won the WWE Tag Team Championship, a new championship that had been specifically created for the SmackDown! brand to parallel the RAW brand's World Tag Team Championship.
- Do you have a suggestion?
In February 2003, Edge suffered a legitimate neck injury and had to undergo surgery with Dr. Lloyd Youngblood.[53] Recovery kept him sidelined for close to a year. He was placed on the Raw brand in the WWE Draft after WrestleMania XX and returned to in-ring action shortly after that event. WrestleMania's in April, right? So February 2003 to after April 2004 is not "close to a year," it's over a year. Unless I'm misreading this.Shawn Michaels (acting as special guest referee) would perform a superkick on Edge, in retaliation for an accidental spear by Edge Conditional tense? Odd. What's wrong with "Michaels performed a superkick"- You're right, it does read odd. Added your suggestion.
Edge faced even more scorn from the fans due to his adulterous affair with WWE Diva Amy Dumas, known on-screen as Lita. I'd use Copeland's here instead of his. It's a little clunky, but I think it fits better than 'Edge having an affair with Amy Dumas.'- Done.
causing Hardy to have "excessive blood loss". Significance of the quotes? I assume the phrase is present in citation #69.- The quote in the ref. says ---> "A bloody Hardy gets pummeled until the ref decides he's had enough and stops the match." I replaced the ref., though, with the term present.
They also fought in a Steel cage match at Unforgiven in September that saw Hardy win. This is something with which I sometimes have difficulties, too - avoid anthropomorphizing. What saw Hardy win? The cage match? How does a cage match see anything?- How 'bout ---> "They also fought in a Steel cage match at Unforgiven in September that saw Hardy defeat Edge"?
Edge used his victory over Foley to once again challenge John Cena for the WWE Championship. What does one thing necessarily have to do with the other?- Reworded.
At the event, he lost the championship after Cena performed the FU on him If not explained in prose, a link to a description of "FU" should probably be provided.- The "FU" is already linked in the first paragraph of the section.
- Pedantic, but source for the name "La Familia?" There's no conspicuous source for it here or on La Familia (professional wrestling).
- I can't find anything, but I do remember the commentators calling them "La Familia". I'll keep looking.
Edge lost the World Heavyweight championship to The Undertaker when he tapped out to the gogoplata, a submission maneuver by Undertaker. Last clause is redundant.- I think I got it.
the entire WWE Raised this on the Jason Reso review: the definite article in front of "WWE" is jarring.- Replaced.
Edge took his frustrations out on Vickie because he lost the title and told her the wedding was off. First time we're hearing about any wedding. Indeed, the only prior mention of the pairing is The following SmackDown! show saw Edge and General Manager Vickie Guerrero make their relationship public which could be taken to mean any of a number of things.- They became engaged on Valentine's Day (in 2008), hence why he "called off" the wedding, but re-proposed the following week.
In June, Edge won the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship (the seeming unified version of the World Tag Team Championship from the Raw brand and the WWE Tag Team Championship from the SmackDown brand) is rather inelegant. For one thing, seeming unified?- Removed "seeming" if that's what you meant.
his first pay-per-view match in the WWECopeland seems incredibly injury-prone. Every section in his career rundown ends with him sitting out several months to more than a year after getting hurt. Maybe this merits being highlighted (in the lead, maybe a subsection). Just thinking out loud here.- No, that wouldn't be a good idea. If the section were created, the info. would be out of control.
Significance of the bolding and italicizing in the "In wrestling" section?- The project's style guide says not to bold moves.
- Right. I guess I just don't get why anything's bolded and italicized, but again, looking at pro wrestler FA's like Benjamin or CM Punk it looks like it's accepted.
- The project's style guide says not to bold moves.
- B. MOS compliance:

- Surprisingly, no issues. The bulleted lists do stand out, but looking at a pro wrestler FA like Shelton Benjamin makes it seem like it's okay.
- A. Prose quality:
- Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
- A. References to sources:

- B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:

In an interview conducted after the event, on WWE.com, Edge announced that he and Lita would have "hot, nasty, sex" in the middle of the ring on Raw the following night to celebrate his victory. On Raw, Edge held up to that promise by engaging in foreplay with Lita until they were interrupted by Flair, who called Edge a disgrace and "dead in the bed". Flair, however, ended up on the receiving end of a con-chair-to on the announcers' table until Cena came out to Flair's aid and performed an FU on Lita. The "Live Sex Celebration" segment earned Raw a 5.2 rating Is this all covered by citation #78? Particularly "hot, nasty, sex" - all quotes need to be cited.- Added ref.
leading Edge to call himself the "most-watched WWE Champion in the last 5 years". Uncited quote.- Added source.
I assume the myspace has been independently verified as authentic. It's the only redflag on the checklinks tool.- Yes, that's his MySpace account.
- Full sourcing in the "Championships and accomplishments" section
- This is still a problem. The Pro Wrestling Illustrated and Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards contain no sources. Will removed unsourced awards from Jason Reso, but that's probably not necessary - wouldn't end of year awards have come out in the December or January editions of those magazines? That can be cited, can't it? Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 03:12, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
- A. References to sources:
- Is it broad in its coverage?

Images are all free use. - B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions and alternative text:

- Images are all free use and have good captions. File:Edge2009.JPG lacks a description page, but the others all have them. Again, though, only the infobox picture has alt text. I encourage adding it to the other images.

This one's in better shape than Reso, but I'll put it on hold all the same. Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 06:18, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. I hope I addressed your concerns. If not, please let me know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
- Good progress. I'll be back this afternoon to check the progress of Jason Reso, and probably pass this article. Some of my as-yet unaddressed comments exceed the GA criteria, so you don't necessarily need to address them if you're not looking to FAC with this article. Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 13:00, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
- Well, hopefully I addressed your comments, so you can rest in peace with this review and Reso's. :) If not, again, please let me know. No, I don't have any intentions on getting this article to FAC. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:08, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

I bent a bit to pass Reso, and while I'm more than a little uncomfortable bending this far, I'll go ahead and pass this one through. It certainly doesn't deserve to fail. Nosleep (Talk · Contribs) 02:10, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- I just went ahead and removed the PWI awards. They can be added back in once a reliable ref comes along that covers them. The ref used gets its info directly from here and even states these claims. Recently discovered fact that not alot know. I assure you, that with time the article will become better.--WillC 02:23, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] After Over the Limit
The article only has information about Edge until Over the Limit, and he has done too much thing since May, like he tried to conquer the WWE Championship at Fatal 4-Way but he lost before he was at the RAW Money in the Bank in the same PPV but The Miz won the match, later he was in a triple threat match against Randy Orton an Chris Jericho for be the #1 contender for WWE Championship at SummerSlam but he lost, after that night John Cena announced that he is in his 7-man team to confront The Nexus at SummerSlam turning face. Who protected this page, please add this information because it's real and needed --C-sark-mp-on (talk) 21:40, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- It's week-by-week info. It's not notable at all. SimonKSK 21:44, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
- He lost at Fatal 4-Way, Money in the Bank, and the triple threat match on Raw. Imagine if we add all of Edge's losses, this would be quite a large article. The only thing that needs to be summarized in the article is notable information as this is an encyclopedia, not a news site. Also, adding what happened this Monday is week-by-week, and him "turning" face isn't notable. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Problem with this Page?
Maybe it's on my end, but the Table of Contents seems out of place, and the article starts with "[5] |weight = 241 lb (109 kg)==== At the Royal Rumble event on January 31, 2010, Edge returned from his injury by entering the Royal Rumble match as the twenty-ninth entrant" instead of "Edge, born Adam Copeland..." or whatever. Anyone? Help? Vandalism? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yesitsraining (talk • contribs) 05:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
[edit] Edge Face turn?
I read at the end of his "Professional Wrestling Career" in the "Return (2010)" section and it stated the following: "Edge turned face on the Premiere of Smackdown on SYFY by interfering in Jack Swagger's Proclaimation of Oklahoma and spearing Swagger's Mascot." Is this true, or is this just a mistake. I don't know if there are enough clues to declare Adam a "face." He never really acted like he was behind the crowd, just he said he will take out everyone who acts stupid. And this time it happened to be a heel, Jack Swagger. xXxStraightEdgexXx 19:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Done - I believe the more colloquial term is known in the professional wrestling world as a "tweener", but I feel inclined to agree. No where does it even state on the reference provided that he is now a face. Merely that he won the match. Any thing beyond that is clear original research and potential POV editing.

[edit] Orphaned references in Edge (wrestler)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Edge (wrestler)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

[edit] Wrestling Observer
Since it's come an editting war, it is best to move it to an actual discussion. The problem at hand was whether the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards should be included being that there is, seemingly, no primary source, aside of course from all the ones on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards page.
To quote: "They were originally in the article with a tag for an extended period of time. Yet remained unsourced. And guidelines are simple. No source, does not have to be included. No rule that says tags must be placed in that I am aware of."
However, there is plenty of precedent, as in the page of every single other wrestler who was won awards. Sherick (talk) 02:32, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I think it should be re-checked, verified and sourced in terms of championships and accomplishments. I have just checked and Bret Hart has also held all of the titles which it is claimed only Edge and Kurt Angle have. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.124.221.17 (talk) 01:45, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Bret never held the World Championship. Sherick (talk) 06:50, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
- There is no source for either statement. Really shouldn't be added. And if there are sources for every single one of those awards in th WO page, then add them here. The same effort used to start this, could have placed them in a sourced them already.--WillC 17:37, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Question
Didn't Edge and Mick Foley hold the Hardcore title together, making Edge a Grandslam Champion?186.45.87.156 (talk) 23:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
I believe so - at One Night Stand 2006 Foley & Edge fought Funk & Dreamer and in the promo build up it showed Foley crowning Edge as the co-champion of the Hardcore title (even though it was retired at the time). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.96.44 (talk) 15:14, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Possible retirement?
Just saw Edge's segment on RAw discussing about his retirement. Acknowledging his past injuries, is this really a legit retirement or a WWE angle? And please don't remove it, this IS a professional question within Wikipedia boundaries.66.108.211.43 (talk) 02:25, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Its too soon to tell if its legit or a storyline, Lets wait on NoDQ the other websites to find the info out. Even though Nodq's website is not "legit" according to wikipedia. But it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Pizza (talk • contribs) 02:30, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
It is still to early to tell 100% but from the looks of it is legit. One of the keys to whether it is legit or not will come friday night if Edge Vacates the WHC. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarioMan9112 (talk • contribs) 02:45, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
As a WWE fan and having knowledge of how the product works, I can guarantee this was not a storyline. The fact that in the next segment he was being clapped out of the arena by several wrestlers including several heels (antagonist characters) shows it breaks kayfabe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.195.72.173 (talk) 02:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Please, put retirement sign on his bio. It's obvious as hell that he is not going to wrestle anymore and I see no point to not put retirement to his info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.220.115.56 (talk) 07:03, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
My apologies if this is the wrong place to note this, but I'm new.
In the "Personal life" section of the page, the third sentence opens, but never closes, a parentheseis:
"As a teenager, Copeland (along with his friend William Reso attended WrestleMania VI sitting in the eleventh row at ringside."
I think it should be something like this:
"As a teenager, Copeland (along with his friend William Reso) attended WrestleMania VI sitting in the eleventh row at ringside."
Fictionality7 (talk) 15:26, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
Done - with a slight change. I modified it to "As a teenager, Copeland, along with his friend William Reso, attended WrestleMania VI sitting in the eleventh row at ringside." ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ② 04:55, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Actually, since we insist on getting it right, the part about "along with his friend William Reso needs to be deleted. As according to Edge's book, he went only with his mother and Jay Reso was not there... Ozzy Ozzy 17:54, 13 April 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by OzzyOnEdge (talk • contribs)
- The statement cites the book "Adam Copeland on Edge", however you claim that the book makes no such claim of Christian having attended the event with him. I personally do not have the book and can not fact-check that statement so if another party can fact-check and corroborate this, please do so. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ② 01:47, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
Well, I have the book.
Quoting "Adam Copeland on Edge", Chapter 8, pages 39-40:
"During this time I received the ultimate surprise (pun intended). My mom somehow pooled together the resources to buy two tickets, eleventh row ringside, for WrestleMania VI at Toronto's SkyDome. This was the ultimate dream because I was on my way to the Ultimate Challenge. Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior. It also didn't hurt that the Hart Foundation, The Rockers, and Mr. Perfect were on the bill as well. They had quickly become my favorites. I had never felt electricity like the SkyDome that night. The nearly 68,000 fan were split between Hulka-maniacs and Warrior fans. It was simply awesome (even though Hulk lost). This was my dream."
No mention of Christian going with him. And though he doesn't spell it out, you can understand he went with his mom. Plus I also recall him saying in other occasions that he went with her. Ozzy 17:56, 14 April 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by OzzyOnEdge (talk • contribs)
- By your own admission and as is clearly visible, he never explicitly states that he did or did not go with his mother nor does he state he went with Christian (or even knew him at the time) in the quoted paragraph above. The very thing you outlined above is clear and evident speculation which goes against WP:CRYSTAL. That said, I'll just remove the statement entirely as it's clearly either false or speculation.

[edit] Accomplishments
I'm pretty sure Edge vs Matt Hardy(2005) was named feud of the year and I remember that his TLC matches vs Hardyz and the Dudleyz(WM 2000 and X-7) were named match of the year from PWI,why the article doesn't mention these awards?--Ujkaj4president (talk) 11:48, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
I'd just like to say that if you look at the all encompassing history/lineage of the titles currently in WWE then other wrestlers such as Bret Hart have won every active title/belt (not including Unified titles, ladies, etc.) currently in WWE. Not just Edge and Kurt Angle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.36.134 (talk) 15:16, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Ring Names
I just noticed that for some reason it is now stated the Edge has used the ring name "Edge Matthews". It is NOT true. (And it never was) It's citing this article as the source, but nowhere in there does it say that.
Please fix it.
Thank you.
Ozzy.

[edit] Deleting sourced information
User talk:46.33.40.137 keeps deleting sourced information from the personal life section. I asked them to stop repeatedly and they keep doing it. Not like the information is super important but this has to stop. Please help. (MgTurtle (talk) 03:34, 3 November 2011 (UTC))
