Talk:Extreme Dodgeball

Red Links

It is generally a bad idea to fill an article with red links of non-notable persons. It only encourages the creation of articles for those people, which will in all likelihood then go to VfD and then be deleted. brenneman^(t)(c) 03:19, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Cleaned up

I took some time to clean up this page as best I could. I fixed the rules section to make it flow better as well as fixed some of the improper English. I left the cleanup tag on the page, it may still need to be edited some more. StevenJRossi 23:44, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Clean up tag

I'm removing the clean up tag. I've done a significant amount of work (on editing, rules changes, punctuation, etc.), and I think the article is as "clean" as it's going to be. The main body of the article doesn't have many interwiki links, but only because there's nothing to link to. Anyway, I'm content with the page as it stands, and I hope everyone else is, too. -- Kicking222 16:59, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Citations?

What facts are we looking to cite and what kind of sources will actually work? I don't believe GSN.com has a website up for this show anymore but many things like the rules and rosters can be verified from the show itself. So...not sure how to handle that. I doubt this show is going to be easy to cite at all--what little is out there is probably going to be fansites or defunct (like the DSN page, which had the rosters of the teams, for example.

Michael Costanza did not throw a dodgeball 82 mph. Not humanly possible for a large rubber ball to be thrown that fast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.39.12 (talk) 02:39, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
