GA

I went and failed this article outright. It's heavily referenced, whih is great. However, there needs to be a 2-3 paragraph lead for an article this size. Even a 1 paragraph lead would be okay, but not a 2-sentence one. Plus, most of the paragraphs are one-two sentence ones, making it flow rather poorly. The 2004-2005 needs to be fixed up especially. Lastly, most of the outside of wrestling section is basically one sentence sections everywhere. Just have a good article writer fix up everything there and you can try again.--Wizardman 21:13, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Backlash question

Can I put a picture of John Cena that I took at Backlash? Clen_17 9:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

I assume you'd be releasing it per GPL. Does it add to the article? Right now it's already coming close to being an image gallery.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 01:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Backlash & RAW matches

I don't know why people keep adding these matches, but they're simply not notable. Someone has claimed that among them are his first clean losses in three years, which would be notable, but needs to be (reliably) sourced, and even then the Backlash match wouldn't be worth noting. Unless the years of no losses can be verified, please don't add it back.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 01:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Zerorules677 17:15, 08 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cena Signature Sayings

I was going to add his signiture sayings like. 1.You can't see me 2.Want some come get some. and so on but no its a protected article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tacodude21 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 13 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Quotes, properly sourced of course, would belong on a Wikiquote article, not here.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 21:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Word Life DVD

Shouldn't there be an article created of the DVD or mentioned in the article? Zenlax 10:11, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The DVD is an entirely separate entity from John Cena, so it should have its own page. End of discussion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.216.119.56 (talk • contribs)

Sorry, you don't get to "end discussions". The DVD is barely non notable itself, there's really no reason for it to have it's own article. There's precedent to merge it here.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 23:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Word Life Redirect

I suggest removing the Word Life redirect at the top of the page. It is completely pointless as this article is NOT about Word Life but is about John Cena. Everytime I remove it, it gets placed back so I feel we should discuss reasons to keep or remove it. I am in favour of removing it for reasons already stated. - Deep Shadow 00:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What has that got to do with it? The two words "Word Life", when placed in to the search box, turn up this article. That is also very likely something someone would put in when looking for Word...Life. Hence, a redirect. «»bd(^talk _stalk) 00:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but why does does the search go directly to Cena's page and not the album? If that problem can be fixed then we won't need the redirect anymore. - Deep Shadow 00:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because the phrase is more closely linked to Cena. The redirect hurts nothing.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 13:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Archive 4

I went ahead and created a new archive since this talk page was cluttered with a lot of dead discussion and all the headers made it rather long.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 21:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The new image

I think it comes of a tad small when it resizes for the infobox, so how about cropping it to something like this, doesn't need resizing? «»bd(^talk _stalk) 18:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That one looks decent, but does anyone want to use this one? Stormin' Foreman 18:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That one is from a screenshot of WWE television, and therefore a violation of copyright and Wikipedia's fair use policies for images, so we cannot use it to depict a living person. Bmg916^Speak_Sign 18:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies Stormin' Foreman 19:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I can crop it!!!! Just give me some a few hours!!! BATMAN rules677 12:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
