Powerslam

Where do they get their heights from? Unless they've actually measured the wrestler, then anything else is just conjecture. Make the changes if you want to, but I think for the most part WWE.com is a more credible source, even if they do inflate their figures. McPhail 14:16, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Your VandalProof Application

Dear Halbared,

Thank you for applying for VandalProof! (VP). As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact with the new 1.2 version release it has even more power. As such we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that lack of mainspace edits. Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again in the not too distant future. Thank you for your interest in VandalProof.

RE: Hulk Hogan

Go ahead and revert it as much as you feel is necessary (WP:BOLD), and consider reporting the vandal to WP:AIV. Thanks for helping to maintain Wikipedia! --Xyrael ^T 07:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

The combined edit removed the logos, and I did a cleanup on your user boxes. The user boxes use optional parameters which get kept who you subst: them, so I ran it through a script to turn {{{varaible|default}}} -> default. ed g2s • talk 13:07, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Tenryu

Tenryu is Japanese, so SI units come first. Same goes for various european countries. Whatever units are in use in their birth country are in use, are listed here first.

Imperial/Metric

That might be your opinion. If you wish that to be changed, open up a discussion in the project talk page. I will vote for metric.
↪Lakes (Talk) 22:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

It's not opinion. Go to UK wrestling events, weight is not annouced in Metric as it may be in your country.(Halbared 22:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC))

I would guess the use of the imperial system in UK wrestling shows has something to do with the influence of USA wrestling on UK wrestling. The government website uksport.gov.uk seems to favour the metric system. McPhail 23:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Anecdotal evidence isn't really a suitable basis for a Wikipedia policy, even an informal one. If other editors contribute to the discussion on the project talk page, then perhaps the matter can be voted upon. McPhail 23:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm fairly certain that user:Paulley is English. McPhail 23:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes i am, i agree that for the most part imperial is best used in England... but i grew up being taught metric and imperial anyone from my generation onwards would be the same... However, i am used to putting things in metric and most of the resources i use also use metric and as this is a site based in America and as we use American-English spelling aposed to English i would have to stick to metric for international wrestler from England... but maybe the use of imperial measurments for British based English wrestlers. ---- Paulley 19:55, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Yea sounds good... and as long as their is both imperial and metric in these articles everyone should be happy --- Paulley 12:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

User:130.234.179.244

I don't think this tone was necessarily required for the above user - please see my note to him - he may not even have been aware of this. Please see Wikipedia:Assume good faith. Thanks, - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 08:14, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I did check his history but again, I think (especially for an anon user) that it may be a little presumptuous to even assume they read the talk page. Anyway, he definitely knows now so assume any further edits as vandalism. Also, to that end, I just approved you for VandalProof (see below) Enjoy! :) - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 08:27, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Userboxes

Just an FYI whilst I have you, check out Wikipedia:Userbox policy where it says: "Each user is free to place any number of UBX on his or her own user page or subpage, up to a hard limit of 64 per page. Displaying large numbers of UBX consumes human and computer time, although the exact extent to which this is a waste is disputed. No penalty results from UBX display up to the limit of 64, after which boxes may be summarily deleted by administrators." You have well over that so may be something to think about... - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 08:45, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey please don't misunderstand I am absolutely not telling or even asking you to delete them, in fact please don't on my account. I just thought you may not be aware of that policy that's all. At worst an admin mmay delete them themselves so your call. Thanks again for your understanding, and thank you for the thank you re VP too! - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 08:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

VP Installation

You should have a file called VandalProof 121.exe correct? That is all you need. Do not install version 120 it has a serious bug. If you don't have get it VandalProof 121.exe then please download it from here Let me know how ya go :) - Glen ^T_C (Stollery) 20:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

billed weight

As part of his "Popular Mathematics" gimmick, Scoville is announced as weighing "5³+3*p-V12(1-x) lbs ( = 79 kg )". It's similar in principle to Little Guido being announced in liquid ounces. I suppose the equation could be moved to the third paragraph of the career section, but I would rather that it was not deleted for posterity. McPhail 14:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Brock's height and weight

hey halbared i didmt know youre a wrestler. p.s im the guy who keeps arguing on the brock lesnar page hahaha.

Well, not anymore. How can you dispute the official records of the Vikings? Athletic organisations accurately measure their people when they perform in any capacity.(Halbared 23:55, 11 June 2006 (UTC))

Scott Hall

I don't know Hall's precise height and weight, but the height and weight I restored were correctly formatted. McPhail 13:30, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Goldust

on wwe.com. It was said that goldust was realsed

released means to have been withdrawn as a wrestler to pursue another career or wrestle at another promotion. If you are released ,you can still come back to the previous wrestling promotion that you had worked with if you want.

Bill Hicks

Thanks for fleshing out his quote with the missing middle bit, nice one. I maintain a Hicks myspace page that is becoming quite popular, if you visit you'll find links to obtain a lot of his unreleased / bootlegged shows and more. Also in my top 8 friends at the above mentioned site is a user called 'Bill Hicks', that page appears to be his official MySpace. best wishes. Dirk Diggler Jnr 03:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
