Future FA/GA

I would like to nominate No Way Out (2007) for GA, but does the community feel it is worthy enough? Also does No Way Out (2004) have the chance to pass for a future FA?--TrUCo⁹31¹ 00:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

• No Way Out 2007 seems to me to be worty enough of GA. There are just a few things that should be changed first.
• No Way Out 2004's aftermath needs to be expanded before we go any further, IMO. iMatthew 2008 00:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Appreciate the comments, the thing is there really was no aftermath after NWO, some of the feuds did not continue and after NWO some of the superstars did nothing significant.--TrUCo⁹31¹ 00:52, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Then maybe it should state that No Way Out was the end of the fued for person A and person B. Person A went on and.... Person B went on and.... Do you get what I'm trying to say? iMatthew 2008 00:53, 2 March 2008 (UTC) I don't even get it, myself. lol. iMatthew 2008 00:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that would work. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 00:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I think No Way Out 2007 definitely has potential. I don't have time to look it through in detail right now, but one thing that could stand in its way is the fact that WWE has moved or deleted many of the articles that were used as sources. See here for a list of its external links. GaryColemanFan (talk) 00:59, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I did a quick run through of wikilinks, etc, of 2007 and it looks pretty good. You might want to check out Gary's thing though. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The matches involving Benoit are obvious, they deleted every page on Benoit after that tragedy. Some of the other ones are odd though. Luckily there is the Internet Archive, which I have used for some of Benoits title reigns. TJ Spyke 01:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh wow, I need to look into that. Also I have added a little more to the NWO 04 AM, and thanks for all your help fellow members. --TrUCo⁹31¹ 01:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, what happened with the wwe.com links is that they move them to their history section the next year, so No Way Out 2007 results would now be found under nowayout/history/2007. I've fixed them for you though, so that shouldn't be a problem for you any more! ;) ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:26, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Nici, so is NWO 07 ready to be nominated for GA? Also I have added much more to the NWO 04 Aftermath, can it be nominated for FA?TrUCo⁹31¹ 01:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I think so. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I think so too. Go for it! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

It's ready. iMatthew 2008 01:47, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

So go for it, for both of them right?--TrUCo⁹31¹ 01:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, lets do it now. If there are any changes to be made, we have time, since we all know it takes forever to get a review. iMatthew 2008 01:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, they same way Unforgiven was done. ;) --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Even though you should have it ready before you nominate it. --Cheers, LAX 01:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Well different reviewers have different ways they review the article and different view point of what might be needed or what is not. So you never know.--TrUCo⁹31¹ 02:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Have been nominated

No Way Out (2007) has been nominated for Good article status and No Way Out (2004) has been nominated for here.TrUCo⁹31¹ 02:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Congrats. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick reminder: the project's policy is to announce GA nominations one week in advance. That gives people from the project time to look it over, perform copyedits, and make suggestions before it is nominated. Regardless of the long waiting period for some GA reviews, all articles should be at their best at the time of nomination. I don't honestly know if there is a similar policy about FA nominations, though. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I would like to echo that statement. I just scanned the NWO 2007 article and found quite a few grammar and MoS problems. If it were reviewed right now, it wouldn't pass. Articles should be up to quality before they are nominated. Nikki311 06:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I will look over that, doesnt AWB suppose to find those errors (I did clean up with that).|-|TrUCo-X|-| 15:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I have now pulled NWO 07 from GA, I did not really read over it well, and see that it requires massive clean up. Thanks however to all who helped out.TrUCo-X 15:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok NWO has been cleaned up, please go over it and review it and comment here about any errors/ changes that we could make. I will then again nominate it for GA next week.TrUCo-X 18:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

(x-posted from your talk page) I cleaned up the article, but your edits undid all the cleaning up I did. [1] Nikki311 18:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Randy Savage

I am copying a comment I put on Savage's profile here. It was a reply to another user's comment about the supposed incident between him and Stephanie that resulted in Vince and Savage no longer being on speaking terms.

I agree with removing ubsubstantiated (sp?) rumors, but I do think there should be somthing about a disagreement between him and McMahon. I'm not very good at writing something like this, but maybe something like "they don't get along due to some sort of past conflict, which is the subject of rumor"?

Here's something. It's an answer to a question posed to Wade Keller, editor of Pro Wrestling Torch, a widely regarded "insider" newsletter: Q: What is the problem Vince McMahon has with Randy Savage? Does Savage have an issue with McMahon?

A: It's one of the most widely speculated questions in the industry, and most people on the inside who speak about this believe it has something to do with interaction Savage had with Stephanie McMahon years ago. Savage left WWE where he was co-hosting Raw for WCW to become an active wrestler again and enjoyed a resurgence of his in-ring career at that point, but many wrestlers left under similar circumstances that McMahon has welcomed back in the interest of generating fan interest. I do know that McMahon bristles at the mere mention of Savage's name, and it's considered taboo within WWE to even acknowledge Savage in front of McMahon. McMahon has made is clear over the years bringing Savage back is out of the question and no up for debate.

Source: http://www.pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/Ask_the_Editor_18/article_23941.shtml --Smart Mark Greene (talk) 02:25, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

this is a no brainer really - speculation do not belong on WIkipedia, contentious material (and this rumor is highly contentious) needs a reliable source. Unless a reliable source is found that confirms whatever rumors are floating around they should not even be hinted at. MPJ-DK (talk) 07:40, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, what I'm trying to say is the fact that McMahon doesn't like Savage, and turned down ideas for a DVD and action figure, is worth mentioning, but I don't really know how to word it since nobody knows the reason behind it. Smart Mark Greene (talk) 05:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

It's worth mentioning, but you need a reliable source before it can be added. Without a reliable source, it will just get removed by another editor since speculation doesn't belong on Wikipedia. - Kogoro_9_23 06:23, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Hitting the Road: Photography Requests

Next week I'll be heading to a SmackDown house show, two Axxess events, Monday Night Raw, and Smackdown/ECW. As always, I'll have my camera handy. While I'll be shooting everything like I normally do, does anyone know of any articles that could benefit from photos taken at these shows? Mshake3 (talk) 03:01, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hornswoggle! iMatthew 2008 03:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Well I had this one. Yeah, I guess it's a bit blurry. Mshake3 (talk) 03:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Paul Burchill, Mike Chioda, Mike Adamle, a better pic if possible of Ron Simmons and The Undertaker, pics for Major Brothers, Vickie Guerrero, Kofi Kingston. sorry if its too much.--TrUCo⁹31¹ 03:09, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Ashley Massaro (needs a recent pic), Katie Lea (has none), D.H. Smith (needs a WWE pic), Big Show (now that he has lost weight), Vickie Guerrero (has none), Eve Torres (had none, but she probably won't be there), and Lena Yeda (for when she gets an article). Nikki311 03:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Also mayby a random pic of the announcers table, this may be needed probably to explain in PPV articles.|-|TrUCo-X|-| 03:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

There's this, but it doesn't really show the table. I do have some shots from behind the table if that helps. Mshake3 (talk) 03:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Well if it shows the announces table, then yeah.|-|TrUCo-X|-| 03:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Aaru Bui tagged CM Punk back in October requesting a "clear, front view" image for the infobox. –– Lid^(Talk) 03:56, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

How's this?. Mshake3 (talk) 04:58, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd say that is definitely a "clear, front view" of his face. Nikki311 06:12, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that image is too... vicious for an infobox image. Going off articles in general the infobox image should be neutral with the figure isolated from other circumstances. This image is an "action" shot and comes across as quite distracting. –– Lid^(Talk) 08:36, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

This one is tricky, but if you could get pictures of any of the current champions with their championship clearly visible, it would be appreciated. We already have good images of Jeff Hardy as IC champion and Orton as WWE champion. If you could get a picture of both sets of tag champions together, it would be great. Also, an image of John Morrison as all of the images on his page are from his Johnny Nitro days. Others: Curt Hawkins and Zach Ryder, Jesse and Festus and an in-ring photo of Jimmy Wang Yang would be nice. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:06, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

In fairness, I would say just to take photos of everyone, and then figure out which articles need them later. I would put in a special request for the referees though, because none of their articles have photos. Thanks, man, and hey, have a good time! ;) ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

What Nici said :D Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 14:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

John Morrison's article could use an updated, bright, picture. Stevie Richards has changed, Shelton Benjamin and his blonde hair, an actual shot of Kelly Kelly's face would be great. If he shows, Balls Mahoney could use a more dignified picture, Chuck Palumbo not getting beaten on, Shannon Moore facing the camera. And, if possible, a good bright shot of an empty ring from closer than the one in the wrestling ring article would be awesome, as would any (visual) gimmick match setups not already in that article (poles, guys on a ladder/something above a ladder). Even someone going through a table or being pinned on the floor area instead of in the ring could be put into that article. You know, depending on what happens at the shows. «»bd(^talk _stalk) 16:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Mshake, can you take an HBK pic? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Just an update. Raw, of course, is WrestleMania Rewind Night, which means no HeAT, and nothing but big stars. On SmackDown/ECW, there'll be a cage match, and (as announced) an Extreme Rules Tag Team Championship match. Mshake3 (talk) 17:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Unforgiven (2005) and SummerSlam (2007)

ThinkBlue, LAX, and I would like to nominate these for GA within this week. If you can, please look over both articles. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. iMatthew 2008 19:49, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

No Remorse Corps

I believe this team should get an article, because they have been around for the better part of a year. I mean come on this isn't enough to cover this team.--KingMorpheus (talk) 21:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Then make a trial article in your sandbox with third party sources, let someone look over it to make sure it meets the notability and verifiability guidelines, and it can be moved to mainspace. Nikki311 00:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

New COTW

For the next two weeks, the collaboration of the week is Ric Flair, which should be a pretty easy one to source. Nikki311 15:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. SexySeaShark 18:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Merge Proposal

That with this. --Endless Dan 20:49, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Featured Lists

This project hasn't had a featured list in a while. We've got a few lists that look ready to nominate, though. List of ECW Tag Team Champions, List of ECW Television Champions, and List of TNA X Division Champions are all complete and fully referenced. Are they ready to be nominated (probably one at a time)? I'd like to see more featured lists, but I'd prefer if someone else nominated the next couple. I'm willing to help with any changes proposed by nominators, but I'd like to know that someone else is also willing to help if need be. Any opinions on whether or not these are ready? Anyone willing to nominate one? GaryColemanFan (talk) 21:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

List of ECW Tag and TV Champs both need the lead sourced, and TNA X Division could probably be nominated, but shouldnt we change the leads in these articles to match the WWE titles? Also are any of the WWE Draft articles worthy enough to be a FL?--TrUCo-X 21:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Cruiserweight Championship: Active?

I saw a discussion in Talk:World Wrestling Entertainment where they were discussing the current position of the Cruiserweight Championsip. Consensus, I believe, is that the title is not defunct because WWE has not called it as such. However, I don't think that we need WWE's approval to call the title inactive. It is part of the Active titles in the WWE article, which I believe is done erroneously. I understand that the title is not retired, but it isn't in use either. :S Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 00:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I brought this discussion up before and people said because WWE still lists it as vacant it is active. But I agree with you Lex, but if the title goes unused throughout the summer, up to september (when the last champion held the title) then it most definaetly will be inactive, but for now i think "Inactive:Status unknown" is ok.--TrUCo-X 00:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

If no one is holding it, no one is defending it, no one is going for it, and no one is mentioning it, I think that qualifies as inactive. Not enough to call it dead (see Women's Championship in 2001), but inactive. Mshake3 (talk) 05:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, they removed it from the slide show of active titles, its officially defunct. R.I.P WCW/WWE Cruiserweight Championship.--TrUCo-X 23:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

The worst thing is that WWE hadn't even planned a funeral... Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 22:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

SummerSlam (2007) / No Way Out (2007)

Since no one has replied to the above comment or edited SummerSlam (2007), I have gone on and nominated it for GA status. --Cheers, LAX 01:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Also since Nikki is the only one that replied (plus she was the one who did major clean up on it), is No Way Out (2007) ready for GAN?--TrUCo-X 01:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I think so. Is Unforgiven (2005) ready to be a GA candidate? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Both NWO 07 and Unforgiven 05 are ready. iMatthew 2008 01:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I am renominating NWO 07 then.--TrUCo-X 01:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Then, I'm nominating Unforgiven '05. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

It's only been two days since you posted the notices. What happened to the other five days? I guess I'll go ahead and nominate Dawn Marie Psaltis then, since I posted the notice last Thursday, although now it'll be behind three other wrestling articles in the GAC list. Anyone else have any articles they want to nominate without waiting a week? Go ahead...it seems nobody else is following the one week rule. Nikki311 01:59, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

While I agree, but people barely reply when we post notices about PPVs, also people can still make suggestions/edits since PW articles take longer to be reviewed.TrUCo-X 02:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Exactly, why not nominate them now. And, I read the Dawn Marie article and it looks good. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Because it hasn't been a week and many members of the project aren't able to respond immediately. I know that I was planning on looking over the three articles (as I try to do every time someone gives a week's notice). I can't always help on Sunday, though, because I have to get all of my stuff ready for work for the week. The purpose of letting the project know is so that it can be as good as possible before it is nominated, so nominating it before people have a chance to help defeats the whole purpose. I intend to nominate WrestleMania X this weekend once the week has passed, but I'm still waiting even though nobody has replied in the last couple of days. GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:27, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I can always pull it from GAN if you want. TrUCo-X 02:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm just confused. We went through this only two days ago, and I thought we were all clear. I explained that "the project's policy is to announce GA nominations one week in advance. That gives people from the project time to look it over, perform copyedits, and make suggestions before it is nominated. Regardless of the long waiting period for some GA reviews, all articles should be at their best at the time of nomination." I don't get this... GaryColemanFan (talk) 02:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

You know what you are right, I AM NOW ANNOUNCING THAT I WILL NOMINATE NWO 2007 Next Monday, PLEASE COMMENT, MAKE SUGGESTIONS, AND COPY-EDIT, THANK YOU!. TrUCo-X 02:45, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I too agree and have pulled SummerSlam. Over the next week, please review, copy-edit, or comment. Thank you. --Cheers, LAX 11:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

WWE Television Logos

I just noticed something, WWE is using 2 logos for SmackDown! and ECW, I was watching Raw and during the WrestleMania Rewind Promo, they used [2] [3] to promote the brands, but then they showed a commercial from ECW, (one produced by Sci-Fi) and they use the old ECW logo to represent the TV show, and during commercials for SmackDown!, they use the FNS logo, should we distinguish these in the article? Also can the RAW logo be updated, to a logo in 3D like the other WWE shows like this?--TrUCo-X 03:28, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:Cite episode

If someone is giving you grief regarding illegal video of a TV or PPV broadcast, just remember that the episodes themselves are reliable sources, and you can use either Template:Cite episode or Template:Cite video as a citation. Mshake3 (talk) 05:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

...but, of course, keep in mind that promoting video piracy in order to cite a fact goes against Wikipedia policy. Therefore, linking to an illegaly hosted video is unacceptable. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Right. Don't link to the video, just cite the broadcast. Mshake3 (talk) 05:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

The usual match name removal by editors on WrestleMania XXIV

The diva match is clearly called Playboy BunnyMania, so it should be listed. But of course the usual people (TJ Spyke being the main person against it) are removing it. Leave it be already, it does no harm. I'm a bit fed up with this unnecessary removing of match names, just because it's not an official match name WWE has used in the past. This problem happened with battle of the billionaires and others. When WWE.com and the television shows mention it more than enough times (plus it's on the back of the DVD case: which is the case with many of them), it's notable for inclusion. RobJ1981 (talk) 05:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Not this again, you guys already got added to Wikipedia:Lame edit wars once over this... I tend to agree with Rob on this issue but is it really worth edit warring over? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:33, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with both. Looks like it's time to establish a new consensus. Mshake3 (talk) 05:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

When it was just a regular tag team match I was against it. With it now being a lumberjack match, I don't mind. If a match is just a normal match though, then adding something like that would be like adding "Grudge match" to it (which is done frequently). There is no such thing as a "Playboy BunnyMania match". Before RAW, it was just a regular tag team match, and not it's a lumberjack match. The whole point is to list what type of match it is, not a tagline used for the match. TJ Spyke 14:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

And just what is the problem with using taglines and terms such as "grudge match?" Mshake3 (talk) 20:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I have to agree that this is lame edit warring, there are no such things as playboy bunnymania matches, nor a battle of the billionaires, that is just the titles WWE tends to title matches that are of great hype. Its a lumberjill match and thats it, unless you want to put somewhere the title in like italics or parenthesis.TrUCo-X 15:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Could a compromise be to add the tagline below the bolded part that lists the match where the results go:

• Lumberjack match: Maria and Candice Michelle vs. Beth Phoenix and Melina

• The tagline for this match was BunnyMania.
  
• So and so pinned so and so after insert move here.

Or something to that effect? Nikki311 15:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Nikki - DrWarpMind (talk) 16:34, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Nikki but isn't a Lumberjack match called Lumberjill when it is for the Divas? Or does Wikipedia ignore that one as well? ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 19:59, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't know, because in the WrestleMania 23 article, it is referred to as a Lumberjill match; but in the Cyber Sunday (2006) article, it is referred to as a Diva Lumberjack match. --Cheers, LAX 20:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

WWE seems to like to switch between those two terms to describe such a match. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 20:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, personally, I think we should refer it as Lumberjill because it is a different match than the Lumberjack (because of the gender of the participants). ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 21:44, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

It's no different than a San Francisco Death match/Texas Death match, etc. It's also like how they call a schoolboy a schoolgirl when used by female wrestlers. TJ Spyke 22:23, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree 1000% with Nikki.--TrUCo-X 22:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't see why it's better to use the sentence "this match was promoted as BunnyMania" under the match result. If that's how they promote it, then that's how it should be listed. Mshake3 (talk) 15:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Mshake. The match is promoted as that. I see no reason that it belongs below the result. Just because some people don't like the match name (and taglines in some cases), doesn't mean they should be removing them anytime someone adds them. When the event takes place, the full match name gets pushed aside to just a little note below the match itself. As I said before: they promote the match names on television as well as on the back of the DVD case (plus I would imagine video cover in some cases, before DVD was around). Here's examples: Wrestlemania_23#Results (Battle of the billionaires), SummerSlam_(2005)#Results (Legend vs Icon), plus the latest WrestleMania divas match are just some of these names/taglines pushed away from the result. If something such as money in the bank can be used (which is just a special name WWE gave for a ladder match for a title shot), then other names should be used. Don't be hypocrites. It should be one standard way, not two. A couple of extra words in the match result doesn't do harm to the article. It makes it neater, because there is one less note below it. Money in the bank has happened more than once, but that still doesn't justify these one time matches have notes below the result. Seeing as how WWE promotes it a certain way: and it still promotes it when it's released on DVD, it's notable and important to list it that way. RobJ1981 (talk) 20:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

There is a difference between a match type and a match tagline. I have no problem adding BunnyMania in front of the Lumberjack part. Money in the Bank is also special. Hogan vs. Michaels was just a regular match. Of coarse, this is less of an issue now that we are expanding the PPV's. Things like match taglines can be mentioned in the Event section and kept out of the Results section. TJ Spyke 21:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

If match types and taglines are left out because of the event section, then things like Money in the Bank better be removed as well. Money in the bank is NO different than a ladder match for a title shot, period. RobJ1981 (talk) 21:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I said taglines will be left out of the Results section, of coarse match types stay in. TJ Spyke 21:48, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

TJ sort of wants to have it both ways. He doesn't want BunnyMania, but then he doesn't have a problem with Money in the Bank. That is just a tagline and doesn't change the ladder match whatsoever. ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 20:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

You are wrong on both accounts. I don't want it both ways. "BunnyMania" is just a tagline, Money in the Bank is a match type. MITB may be a modified ladder match, but that still makes it a different match. There is no such thing as a "BunnyMania match" or a "Icon vs. Icon match". There is a difference between a match type and a match tagline, a very easy and obvious difference. TJ Spyke 15:24, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I say we should simply write it as WWE bills it. If they billed it as a "Crap on a Pole" match, I think we should too. Rob, I'm trying to assume good faith here, but I really have a hard time doing so. You seem to have a personal vendetta against TJ Spyke at times. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 20:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

How exactly is it a "modified ladder match". What is so different about it that it deserves it's own name and article? Mshake3 (talk) 16:19, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

TJ, Money in the Bank is just a tagline. It is just a ladder match with 6 or 8 competitors. The match type in itself is not modified. The prize, and the amount of competitors is different. Doesn't make the match type different. ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 04:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

"Money in the Bank is just a tagline". Tsk-Tsk, so wrong. It's a modified ladder match, true, but that doesn't make it just a tagline. Sometimes I feel like i'm arguing with a brick wall. TJ Spyke 04:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Cruiserweight Championship

It has moved to be grouped with the other vacant titles on WWE.com (WCW, Television titles, etc). Does this now mean it is officially abandoned/retired? Gavyn Sykes (talk) 23:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Does it list as retired, abandoned, or just vacant? LessThanClippers 23:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

None of them. http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/cruiser/ Gavyn Sykes (talk) 00:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually its now defunct, they removed it from the [WWE Supertars/Show Page]. Also like Gavyn said they moved it to the defunct title histories.--TrUCo-X 00:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess its official now. WWE has it in their list of defunct titles. Shame too since they still have a bunch of good cruiserweights (much better than either tag team division). TJ Spyke 01:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I was about to edit the article as a defunct title but the thing is when I go to the title histories page, the cruiserweight championship still appears in their slide show, and still reads vacant, so what do we do?TrUCo-X 02:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Their Cruiserweight division is shot as well as both Tag Team divisions. They are probably going to bring back a different championship that is similar to the Cruiserweight Championship. It is indeed defunct since in the Title Histories page it is grouped with the titles that are no longer in use. This means that SmackDown! has one less title than RAW now. ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 02:59, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Good Article reviews

I was thinking that it would be nice if we, as a project, could help out with the backlog of Good Article Nominations. We complain that it takes a long time to get articles reviewed, but not many of us actually review articles to cut down on the list. I, for one, have had three articles pass GA reviews, and I currently have three articles nominated with the intention of nominating another this weekend. That's seven articles that I've added to the list, but I've never reviewed an article myself. I was hoping that we might be able to get a few people to agree to review one article each in the next week or so. It would be a nice way for our project to give back, it would help us become more familiar with GA criteria, and it would cut down on the list and help move our articles up and get them reviewed sooner. Personally, I would recommend reviewing "Sports and recreation" articles, as that is where it would help us the most (although we should avoid reviewing professional wrestling articles). Is anyone else on board? GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I would definitely do that. I've thought of this before, just never said anything. It's a very good idea. iMatthew 2008 12:10, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I've also considered it, but never had the time. My Spring Break starts this weekend, so I'll have tons of free time then. I'll look into it. Nikki311 15:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

This is an excellent idea. I think with everybody contributing to the wrestling articles, we can have a bump of articles for the Good article requirements. I'd like to ask anybody here at the project, if they'd be willing to give Vengeance (2005) a peer review, as I'd like for nominate to nominate it, sometime in the future. Zenlax ^{T C S} 18:06, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Can we clear something up

As I understand it, a wrestlers finishing moves are listed 1st in the moves list in alphabetical order and in bold, am I correct? and if so why are my edits on Shawn Michaels page being reverted when all I'm doing is moving it up the page and bolding it.Skitzo (talk) 20:38, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Do you know for sure is a finisher? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:33, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, he's been using it as such since débuting it. Skitzo (talk) 15:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

How positive are you? Cause, this seems like your POV. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 03:40, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

How so? Michaels has used it to finish several matches, and consistently uses it other matches when it fails. How is that not a finisher? Gavyn Sykes (talk) 04:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I know what your saying. But, how sure are you that its a "finisher"? I mean, we all know why Wikipedia has a bad name --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 04:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm honestly not understanding where you're coming from, Blue. How am sure? By watching Raw. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 05:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I still struggle to call it his finisher. It's a signature move of his in that he uses it in a few matches and sometimes wins matches with it but Sweet Chin Music is really his one and only established finisher. Normy 05:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

So do I. Signature move yes, finisher no. SexySeaShark 16:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Posters vs. Logos on WrestleMania articles

I think there is time for a change on this consensus. The WrestleMania equivalent in TNA, Bound for Glory, has it's posters and not logos. Both the poster and obviously the logo contain the logo. and finally WrestleMania articles stick out like a sore thumb to the rest of the WWE PPV articles. Time for a change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CinnamonCrunchy (talk • contribs) 20:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we should change them, if not just for consistency's sake. They also tell more about the PPV than a logo could. And is the logo not ON the poster? Gavyn Sykes (talk) 20:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Support posters whenever possible (obviously there wern;'t posters for early ppv's. LessThanClippers 20:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm neutral on this one, I'm not really bothered either way. However, couldn't both the logo and the poster be in the article? That would certainly solve this dispute. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 20:48, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

That would violate WP:FU. --Cheers, LAX 20:51, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, then I suppose people are just going to have to debate it out. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 20:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

The logo's are used more often by the WWE. On and off television, the logo is used to promote the event. iMatthew 2008 20:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

That would make a difference to the rest of the PPVs how? The posters contain the logos. --Preceding unsigned comment added by CinnamonCrunchy (talk • contribs) 21:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I think I've asked this before and I'm all for the change. I very much agree with Gavyn's saying. Not only will it help consistancy with the other PPV articles, posters like this or this would help describe the show better. (That being said though, I can't really say the same about this years) -- Oakster  Talk  22:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

A poster is a poster. All the other PPVs poster never really describe them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CinnamonCrunchy (talk • contribs) 22:12, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, it sure describes it more than a logo does. --Cheers, LAX 22:32, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Any other opinions on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CinnamonCrunchy (talk • contribs)

I prefer logos, although i'm not 100% against posters. However, it takes more than a few hours to get a consensus (you tried to change it back after less than an hour by claiming there was a new consensus). TJ Spyke 01:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Consensus may not be final but you are out numbered right now.CiNnAmonCrUchy 01:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Any objections besides TJ's?CiNnAmonCrUchy 17:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for posters too. For "events", that seems to be a norm. Mshake3 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, for WrestleMania though I think we should stick with the logo. It sort of makes it more special and significant. As if it is such a big event that it doesn't need a poster, even though it has one. Although I can understand the other side of the debate as well. ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 00:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I kinda think we should include posters for 'Mania's, as I agree with Oakster.--TrUCo-X 00:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Now that it's mentioned, I can see using logos for WrestleMania. As the showcase, yearly event, it has a unique logo. And while the same could be said for other PPVs, with those, you can't tell them apart year to year. Mshake3 (talk) 01:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Yep, look at the Backlash article. The logo has been the same for every event since 2000, the only change was when it switch from silver to red in color. TJ Spyke 01:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I believe using the logos violates WP:FU doesn't it? I could be wrong, I just want to make sure.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 03:34, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Using just the logo in no-what-way violates WP:FU; however, using both the poster and logo in the same article, would. --Cheers, LAX 03:49, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Since when is there a limit of one Fair-Use image per article? Mshake3 (talk) 15:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevertheless I sill think posters are the way to got no matter how "unique" the logo is. I don't see the difference since the poster usually contains the logo.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 05:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Does this mean most people agree to posters over logos?--CiNnAmonCrUchy 22:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Not yet. I think we should keep the logo's per Mshake3 and TJ Spyke. The logo's are unique every year. iMatthew 2008 22:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

That should have nothing to do with it.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 22:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm curious as to why it should have nothing to do with it? IMO it is a valid point. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 22:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes it's valid,...BUT Like I said at the beginning at the of the thread. Bound For Glory, TNA's WrestleMania counter part shows Posters.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 22:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

The other pay-per-views have the same logo every year, but a new poster. WrestleMania has a new logo and poster every year, but the poster never tells you anything about the event. This years logo shows a sun coming out of the word, "WrestleMania." That represents WrestleMania being under the sun. (The tagline). The poster does not tell you anything about the event. iMatthew 2008 22:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

HELLO, the poster has Kelly Kelly sitting under the sun.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 22:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

PLUS the poster contains the logo.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 23:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Which has nothing to do with the show. She is not even involved in WrestleMania this year. iMatthew 2008 22:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Neither did Kane with Judgment Day 2007 but you used it.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 23:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thats not WrestleMania. The topic of this discussion. iMatthew 2008 23:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Fine we'll go that route...Kelly Kelly wasn't supposed to have anything to do with WrestleMania last year but she ended up in a backstage dance segment.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 23:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

She also wasn't on the poster. iMatthew 2008 23:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Nevertheless she was there. Your out voted right now 6 to 3 towards posters.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 02:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

This isn't a vote. It's a consensus. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 02:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Reworded that's consensus is leaning towards Posters 6-3--CiNnAmonCrUchy 02:51, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we should keep the logos. If you go to the WWE website, for every PPV page it has an option to get the poster as a desktop wallpaper, but for WrestleMania it just has the logo, not the poster for the wallpaper. WWE obviously uses the logo not the poster for WrestleMania. I think we should keep using the logo instead of the poster. ^{-GuffasBorgz7-} 04:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

That's because they didn't have the poster out yet.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 15:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Don Kent (wrestler)

MPJ-DK nominated this article in mid-January and it was reviewed on February 21. He responded to the "On hold" comments, but the reviewer hasn't been back since then. The article has now been on hold for 15 days. I left a message on the reviewer's talk page five days ago, but there has been no response. Is there anything that can be done to get the review finished (eg. find another reviewer to confirm that the concerns were addressed)? GaryColemanFan (talk) 07:12, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

You can put a note under the nomination on the GAC page. Just say a shorter version of what was said here, and someone else will review it. I've had that happen to me before, too. Nikki311 15:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I went ahead and posted a comment about it on the GAC page. Nikki311 15:28, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that. Hopefully it will speed things up. On a related note, SummerSlam (1994) is now the oldest unreviewed GA nominee. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

List of WCW Hardcore Champions future FL

Due to the "policy", I am giving a heads up that I will nominate the above article for FL, as me and Blue have sourced and worked hard on it; please copy-edit, revise, comment about the article and tell me whether it is ready to be nominated for FL. --TrUCo-X 00:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I went through and made a few small changes and fixed the Fair Use rationale (there must be a separate rationale listed for each use of the image). I think it's looking good. An explanation of the rules for defending the belt (hardcore rules, backstage, etc.) might help, but it's already covered in the article on the belt itself, so it might be redundant. Good job. Incidentally, I'm not sure that the one week policy applies to FL nominations, but you might want to wait for confirmation of that. GaryColemanFan (talk) 01:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Gary, I dont really think so either. Most of these article pass without problems, so should I just go I think I will go ahead and nominate it--TrUCo-X 01:53, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Well its nominated.--TrUCo-X 02:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

List of World Wrestling Entertainment alumni

This isn't the first time I've brought this up. I never get responses about, this so they would be greatly appreciated this time. Last time, I proposed that the page should be in list format instead of table. Now that the List of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling alumni has been put in table format, I think that the WWE Alumni page should remain the same. The WWE Alumni page still looks very messy though, so I propose that we make it a little more like the TNA one. The reference column can be deleted, and the references can come after any notes in the "Notes" column. The real name column can be deleted, and instead come after the stage name in parenthesizes. iMatthew 2008 12:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, I like how the TNA one looks, so I'm in favour of changing the WWE one as well. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 15:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I Agree. Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 22:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

FAC Constant Problems

Again, because there weren't enough responses, No Way Out (2004), which was nominated for FA, failed because there weren't enough comments for it. This is a problem, NYR 07 didnt pass because of the same reason, 2 people opposed NWO, 1 (for no reason thats really clear, and the other, we fixed what he opposed, but he didnt reply back). Us not being involved is becoming a drat...--TrUCo-X 21:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Honestly, if nobody is going to bother reviewing the articles, and we are not allowed to, then who is going to? IMO, it's ridiculous that even our two administrators (Nikki and LAX) can't review these articles. iMatthew 2008 21:16, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

True. We need a consensus on this. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:17, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we should just review them. When they give us problems about it, we have two perfect examples of why we are reviewing our own articles. iMatthew 2008 21:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

There's a rule about that. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I know, thats just what I would do if the rule didn't exist. But then again, if the rule didn't exist, we wouldn't be having this problem. iMatthew 2008 21:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:24, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

But as long as the rule exists, something needs to be done. iMatthew 2008 21:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

In this instance, WP:IGNORE may have to come into play. I believe this is a valid time for it, correct me if I'm wrong. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 21:42, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I think only certain people should be allowed to review FLA's or FLC's from the WP:PW...--TrUCo-X 21:32, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Wasn't the problem with FAC and FLC that people would just go "yeah it's good, support" instead of giving an actual review with well thought out reasons and all? the lack of these comments and the overwhelming "Ya it rox" comments is what brought it on to begin with. MPJ-DK (talk) 21:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Truco. Only certain people should be allowed to review them from our project. IMO, GaryColemanFan, Nikki311, LAX, ThinkBlue, and Truco9311 should be allowed to review articles, if nobody else. iMatthew 2008 21:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Well Matt, I agree with the people but there are many more people who are responsible and would give good reviews or bad ones with a reason. I think we should just set up a policy, and if people from the project put comments like MPJ said, they should then be removed, unless they add a reasonable reason for their support or opposition.TrUCo-X 21:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Exactly. Or, go with what Gavyn said. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree, but Truco, that is why I said "if nobody else". I can list at least 15 other active members of WP:PW who are responsible enough to review an article properly. iMatthew 2008 21:59, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Its either set up a policy about WP:PW FAC/FLC participation or set up FAC/FLC WP:PW member participation approval.--TrUCo-X 22:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we should set up a policy for WP:PW. But possibly with only a list of users who are allowed to review articles. Otherwise we might get newbies who don't know what their doing, try to review an article. iMatthew 2008 22:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I have proposed suggestions/intervention from the WP:VP here.TrUCo-X 22:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Closed after 6 days because the oppose votes gave unconstructive feedback. I left messages on both voters' talk pages asking for specific things that could be fixed, but I didn't receive responses. Lack of an "Objections" section is a bizarre reason to oppose, especially if you don't give any indication of what that means. Needing copyediting is also fairly vague, as the article has been copyedited. I asked for a couple of examples of prose issues so that I would know what to fix, but no response came. This is just plain idiotic, especially as it was obvious that effort was being made to address the concerns. And before we get too concerned about breaking a "rule", let's keep in mind that no such rule exists and that the idea originated with Scorpion0422 simply deciding that WP:PW was the only project that shouldn't be allowed to vote on its own nominations. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely, he came up with this "rule", and he especially enforced it during the 2007 WWE Draft FLC nomination. Mayby Village pump can help.TrUCo-X 22:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Wow, you really like taking unnecessary shots at me, don't you? You really should so some research before commenting about things that you have absolutely no idea about talking about, because I have warned many users and several projects about such things. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 04:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, but you make consensus on your own with out much discussion; these "polices" you create hurt projects, our FA's or FL's barely have a chance of passing because people outside the project dont take notice to our articles, compared to the NFL or The Simpsons.--TrUCo-X 04:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Again, not true. Most FLC watchers will warn users about vote stacking because it hurts the process. And don't give me that crap about people liking other subjects better and automatically passing on wrestling. I've had FLCs about sports, TV shows, music, politics and the majority of them went well past the 10 day limit. You just have to be patient. Like I've said before, what's the point of the process if you can get an automatic pass by having project members support it? -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Dude, look at No Way Out (2004), thats all I have to say.--TrUCo-X 05:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Did you people actually look at that page? It was quick failed because it had two oppose votes, not because of a lack of comments. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely, he came up with this "rule", and he especially enforced it during the 2007 WWE Draft FLC nomination. Mayby Village pump can help.TrUCo-X 22:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Go to here and ask everyone if they support vote stacking and see what they say. And by the way, in that FLC you asked several users to support that FLC and you seem to forget that you were also chastised by a user other than me. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Dude, I know what I did back then was wrong, I was unaware of the process, ok NWO failed for no reason, 1 opposition made no sense, the other we fixed but they did not reply back, and then BAM the ten days were up.--TrUCo-X 16:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

New consensus

Well most of us agree that we should review our own articles as long as we address reasons on why we support or oppose, so per this. WP:PW members are entitled to review FAC or FLC's as long as they list a reason for their comments. Thus WP:PW members please intervene in your FAC or FLC's so they will at least be noticed and hopefully passed.--TrUCo-X 04:39, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Does this include reviewing GA nominations? iMatthew 2008 04:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it should. I know that I would really rather have someone outside the project review articles that I nominate. We want to avoid any accusations of conflict of interest since we're trying to make a good name for our project. We should, however, review articles from other "Sports and recreation" areas to help out and cut down on the backlog. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I think that anyone on Wikipedia should be entitled to comment and/or vote on any FAC or FLC. I agree that reasons should be given, but I'd like them to be more substantial than "Fits the criteria" or something like that. If you feel that an article isn't quite there, please give an Oppose vote with constructive feedback (and be open to changing your vote when your concerns have been addressed). Finally, it would be best if we didn't overload these nominations with votes from WP:PW members. A couple of votes should be good, but I'd rather not see one pass with no votes from outside the project. In summary, use good judgment, be honest and give meaningful comments. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Gary, GA's are different, FA's and FL's are also different, people have their own opinions as some may want ppl outside the project to review them, but FA's and FL's from this project are highly ignored, as when they are nominated they get less than 4 responses. How about 2 votes from the project and thats it? --TrUCo-X 04:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I've never once said project members shouldn't comment in FL/ACs and I have no problems with one or two supports from project members but I do have issues with asking people to support or when eight members all support without commenting. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 05:11, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I strongly agree with both of those points. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The articles about Dawn Marie Psaltis and Don Kent (wrestler) both passed GA reviews today, bringing the project's total to 34. Great job to everyone involved! Hopefully, the number will be increasing soon, as we currently have 9 more articles nominated.

And again, since there is such a backlog on the GA nomination page, I'd like to encourage people to review an article from the "Sports and recreation" list (but not a professional wrestling article). I completed my first review today (Art Houtteman), and I learned a lot from doing it. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I plan on reviewing AMP Energy NHL Winter Classic tomorrow. iMatthew 2008 04:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I completed this today. iMatthew 2008 15:50, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Just double checking

I witnessed MVP defeating Jamie Noble to qualify for Money in the Bank at tonight's house show. However, I'm not a reliable source. Right? Mshake3 (talk) 07:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Correct. Did you get any good pictures? iMatthew 2008 12:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

It's on WON (here), how about that?«»bd(^talk _stalk) 13:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't believe they're having qualifying matches at house shows. Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 13:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I do believe that is a reliable source. iMatthew 2008 13:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Until it is acknowledged at WWE.com or WWE programming, MVP has not officially qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder match. The writer even states that WWE may ignore it. Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 14:04, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Newsletter

The newsletter is supposed to go out today. Please try to improve anything, so that I can inform Misza13 that it's ready to go. If there are any more current events, please feel free to add them. iMatthew 2008 14:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Should it mention that this project will be next week Signpost's featured Wikiproject? iMatthew 2008 14:20, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I think it should. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 14:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Also, shouldn't we have a new COTW today? That should be updated and put on the newsletter. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 14:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think so. Nikki's comment way above said that Ric Flair is the COTW for two weeks (3/3-3/17). iMatthew 2008 14:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, 'cause it says on the COTW page that "Next week's "collaboration of the week" will be decided on Sunday March 9th." That's why I'm confused. Never mind, then. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 14:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I too think we should mention that this project will be featured in the Signpost. --Cheers, LAX 14:39, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Is Maria in playboy notable to be in the newsletter? Is the note about Ron Killings still notable? iMatthew 2008 14:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Don Kent biased?

I have been searching the external links in the GA articles, and I discovered that Don Kent (wrestler) only has 5 external links (and one of which is suspicious). An article with very little external links, is an article which is biased towards these links, and receive all information from a small fountain. Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 14:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

If you had looked through the article itself, you would see that the majority of information is taken from print sources. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Print sources aren't verifiable by the readers of the article, only by the editor. Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 16:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Broken External Links

I have updated the table of broken external links. There are a total of 20 GAs, 5 FAs, and 1 GAC with broken external links. Please check them out and help fix them. Thanks, Alex ^T/_C Guest Book 15:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Notice

I've requested Semi or Full Protection for Reliant Stadium due to the fact WrestleMania XXV keeps getting added to it when it hasn't been confirmed by a reliable source. Yet.--CiNnAmonCrUchy 17:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
