Revision as of 11:14, 23 November 2008
Hey LAX, before Backlash gets reviewed, I suggest you replace all of the 411mania.com references, as it was proven un-reliable, and may come up in the GA review. Good luck with the nomination. Also, you should archive your talk page. lol. -- iMatthew T.C. 01:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Today, just let me make some changes on Shawn's article and I'll work on the Aftermath. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey, do you think you can write the Aftermath for Chavo and Rey, since you did write SS'07 and you know that history. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Good job, it reminds me the start of SS'07. ;) Maybe after the Bash '06 is done, we can work on Bash '05... -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:03, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
????how do you look at/edit deleted pages T.C. 04:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC) Hi welcome back
Yeah, because I tried and couldn't get it to work right, though I didn't know what I was doing. It would help because the Templates don't really do anything just sitting around. It would be better if the PPV templates worked with the main one.--WillC 01:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC) SummerSlamsHey LAX, long time not talk man. I hope you can convert the in-universe style into out-of-universe style of writing for SummerSlam (2007). I would like to do the same with SummerSlam (2003), because I think it is written sort of similarly to SS'07. Hopefully we can get these to FA standards. Another thing that we can add is the reception, so I was thinking doing the reception similar to the reception done in video game articles like it is done here and here, what you think?--SRX 22:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey, would it be bad if a PPV had two images of the same person? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Question?I have a question for you, I believe I'm suppose to ask a administrator about getting rollback rights if I'm right. If that is true do I qualify for getting them?--WillC 03:16, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Kelly KellyI'm not joking, actually. She was featured on-screen just as much as Long and Coach. All of the three had few lines and really didn't serve any (out-of-kayfabe) purpose besides comedy. I feel that if one isn't notable, the other two aren't either. Just my opinion. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 17:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC) HeyHey, I just got home from my vacation. I don't think I should be a Wikipedian anymore because no-one on Wikipedia likes me. IMatthew, ThinkBlue and everybody else doesnt like me. I'll have a think tonight if I should still be a Wikipedian. One other thing, what have you been up to lately. Cheers.- Cimmo (talk) 9:14, 20 July (UTC) I know you are working on a few articles right now but can you work on an article with me?. Cheers.- Cimmo (talk) 4:17, 21 July (UTC) July 21 DYKSomething is going onAs the title says, something is going on. The rv you did to SummerSlam (2007), the same guy has been used by many IPs to vandalize for the past hour. I believe someone has a product that allows them to change their IP.--WillC 02:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Ralbot (talk) 06:43, 27 July 2008 (UTC) Whats upSo I completed SummerSlam (2003), and I'm asking FA Reviewers on their input about it and they said it looks good and should be able to go to FAC. Have you done it with SummerSlam (2007)?--SRX 15:54, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: User adoptionI accept. Also, LAX rocks. CJ Miller. (That's my name.Don't wear it out.) 01:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for taking care of stuff, but there's still a problem with the fair use images. See my reply. —97198 talk 10:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
Well, I've done my share with adding the Aftermath. Do you think you can finish the Event? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
Aww, remember we had that article in mind? :P But, the article is good, good job. Awesome, we can be finish with the Bash and then finish TT. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:36, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, I do remember that they did start beating each other and stuff. But, I'm not very positive if it that did occur or not. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC) mercyIMatthewhe asked to know my skype, so i gave it to him --L0W3R1D3R | TH3 L0W3D0WN 02:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
RE: Takers StreakThere is a difference between harassing and making the truth known, and the sad truth is that Wikipedia is a pro-American website. I never called you racist, I merely stated that due to the pro-American bias this site tends to show, I do not expect to be successful. Killswitch Engage (talk) 16:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
It looks good, but make sure you add the reception. -- iMatthew T.C. 01:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC) Re:ArmageddonYou should make the ratings in number form rather than spell them out, other than that it looks good. You plan on nominating it for GA only right?--SRX 18:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Armageddon (2003)ReWell I hav alot of spare time over the summer so I was like "Why not?" RkOrToN 22:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
WikiProject Good Articles NewsletterSorry about the delay. AWB has been having a few issues lately. Here is the august issue of the WikiProject Good Articles Newsletter! Dr. Cash (talk) 20:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey manHey man hows it going? I'll finish the CE for No Mercy tomorrow, just wanted to ask you how does List of celebrities at WrestleMania?--SRX 21:50, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

I use the library computer.. RkOrToN 22:35, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Outrage! John Cena's fake injuryOk I went to the Madison Square Garden RAW House Show on Aug. 24, and John Cena was FINE. He was in a tag team match with Batista, perfectly fine. SomeTimes I hate when WWE has to be such a ***** sometimes (I don't really like Cena, but this is just stupid, they should say he's taking a break or something.) RkOrToN 02:42, 30 August 2008 (UTC) Rollback right's?Hey LAX, how do I get "Roll Back" rights here? I know how to use WP:UNDO and WP:TWINKLE very well (as you can see by my recent edit's but if you could tell me if I qualify it would be much appreciated. SteelersFan94 20:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
No Mercy for FABefore nominating it, I strongly suggest opening a peer review for it and look for FA reviewers to comment on it as that is what helped SummerSlam 2003 pass. Just take it as my last advice I give you :)--SRX 01:27, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
Is there a way I can get you to give some feedback to HBK's article? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

BFGCan't the Bound for Glory IV logo be left in the article so that it may be used in a production section to show how TNA hyped the event, or is that also against the rule.--WillC 00:37, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Ralbot (talk) 05:48, 21 September 2008 (UTC) No Mercy 2005 articleI know what you're saying regarding the managers and whatnot, but they were indeed there at ringside in the corner of a certain wrestler, and I believe putting in "managed by" avoids any possible confusion to the non-wrestling fan. "Manage" doesn't necessarily imply that the talent are managers; it simply lets the reader know that they served as such, whether it was temporary or not for the given night. "With" could lead to a non-wrestling fan thinking that they were in the match themselves and besides, "managed by" is present within the results table for the FA The Great American Bash (2005), so I see no harm in making it a standard within all PPV articles.

You may want to check it out; it will keep you busy for the time being before the WikiCup starts around January. Thanks for listening! iMatthew (talk) 21:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
Upcoming World Development contestPenubag has been hard at work developing awards for this project. He has completed a very professional looking medal, and is almost done with a trophy that is truly awesome - both of these awards are visually stunning. I and a few others have been working steadily on the country outlines that will be the focus of the contest - an outline for every country of the world! They're shaping up nicely. So far, 28 of them have been moved to article space - these aren't complete, but they are complete enough to be made available for readers to benefit from them. The rest of the set still includes temporary data that was generated by template (because it matched most but not all of the countries), and before those lists can be moved to article space, all the temporary data needs to be checked for accuracy, and if incorrect it needs to be replaced with correct information. The effort on the lists has been on 3 fronts:
There has been some opposition to us running the contest based on edit counts or iterations. The concern is that we should reward quality work and not quantity, for fear of crappy edits done quickly without thought just to earn an award. I pointed out that the collection of pages are drafts in the Wikipedia namespace (therefore posing no danger to article space) and that most of the work needs to be done with power tools like AWB and Linky (which are specifically designed for repetitive volumnous work), but the reply was that we shouldn't set the precedent of rewarding barnstars for numerically-based tasks, and implied the threat of continuously MfD'ing the contest if we attempted to do so (like they did with the Awards Center - I was very surprised and disappointed that participants didn't step up to defend it). So we need to be careful in determining what exactly the awards will represent, and how they will be awarded. Since rewarding iterations (passes with AWB on all of the pages in the set) are out, we really don't need the globe-in-stand (award we were working on) anymore. Two awards should suffice. Once we get started with the contest, I'd like to kick the whole thing off with a round of medals for those dedicated few who have worked hard on the project so far. What do you think of all of this? Your comments and suggestions are most welcome. The Transhumanist 00:43, 23 October 2008 (UTC) Image copyright problem with Image:Unforgiven 1998.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Unforgiven 1998.jpg.

Also why can gays call a NAZI group a HATE GROUP but when I add that Bash Back who attacks christian churches a hate group you say it is trashing the site & you will ban me. BE FAIR OR ADMIT THAT YOU ARE A BIGOT who backs GAY SPEECH & bans Christian Speech. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.31.209.136 (talk) 01:35, 13 November 2008 (UTC) wikipedia's censorship I looked up Bash Back (The sodomite terrorist group that attacked the Church in Michigan) on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_Back) just to see what liberal bias they would have. Under the section "Antifascist action at 2008 Milwaukee Pridefest" Wakopedia says "In response, Bash Back! Milwaukee planned a confrontation of the hate group." the "hate group they are talking about is the NAZIs but then if the NAZIs are a hate group then Bash back must also be a hate group so I edited it to say "In response, The hate group Bash Back! Milwaukee planned a confrontation of the hate group." Since they also didn't have any topic for the new terrorist attack on the church I added a few lines & was attacked by the Admins. So they added the following paragraph 2008 Disruption at Mt. Hope Church in Lansing, MI Bash Back! members disrupted a Sunday sermon at Mt. Hope Church in Lansing, Michigan on November 9th, 2008. They dropped a banner in the church, threw thousands of fliers, made out in front of the congregation, yelled "Jesus was a Homo", pulled the fire alarm and initiated pro-gay chants. Mt. Hope is an Assemblies of God church which holds and promotes "ex-gay" events and preaches that homosexuality is a sin.
I took the defanition word for wors from Wakopedia's definition for Homophobia & just changed the Homo/Christos & Homo/ Christian parts. For this I received the following note from the admin This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Bash Back. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing.
