2006 Gator Bowl GA

Thanks for taking a look at the article. I've made the changes you requested. Feel free to take a look at it, and thanks again! JKBrooks85 (talk) 07:38, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info about switching the ref order. Good to know. JKBrooks85 (talk) 00:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Teddy D

Thanks for the info, but unfortunately, it doesn't have exactly what I want. I need it to cite his son's birthdate. (I can't find it anywhere else). An editor saw the date mentioned in the book at a bookstore, but doesn't know the page number. Could I just cite the actual book, and not put in a page number? ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 08:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, cool. Thanks, ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 07:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lipstick and Dynamite, Piss and Vinegar: The First Ladies of Wrestling

Updated DYK query On 20 July, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Lipstick and Dynamite, Piss and Vinegar: The First Ladies of Wrestling, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Do You Know?

Do you know of a reliable review source that gives reception to PPV events, I am trying to find it for SummerSlam (2003), so I can nominate it for FAC in the future now that it has no jargon and is out of universe and has reliable sources, or is it okay with just SLAM Sports and the grossing of the event?--SRX 18:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give SummerSlam one last copy-edit, as I altered alot of it.--SRX 20:11, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I responded. May I suggest archiving your talk page?--SRX 20:55, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE:

Then why is List of current champions in World Wrestling Entertainment still at Fl. Since it changed shouldn't it be revoked by now? That doesn't make any sense, since I copied off of that article to get the TNA one to FL. Not sure what to do in this case.--WillC 00:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Candice Michelle under GA review

Hi there, I see that you are a primary contributor to the article Candice Michelle. This article has come under review for Good article reassessment as part of GA Sweeps and problem has been identified and listed on the talk page. Please begin to address this point in the next seven days or the article will be delisted from GA and will have to go through the GAN process all over again to regain its status once improvements have been made. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:18, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely. I'm going to expand this article, and of course, my ultimate goal is FA status. -- iMatthew T.C. 01:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User Page

Hi,

I'm not sure how it's happening, but the Prettyboxen “Userboxes” are overlapping over the 4th column of your “Contributions” and messing up your user page when viewed in Firefox; Displays OK though in I.E…

Best wishes,--Badgernet Talk 15:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I think I fixed it. :) Nikki311 21:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA review for SummerSlam (1988)

Hi! I have reviewed this article, and placed it on hold as I have a couple concerns with the article. It is quite good, however, and almost at GA level. You can see my review at Talk:SummerSlam (1988)/GA1. Once you have addressed these concerns, please let me know and I will take a second look. Regards, Resolute 23:38, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy to say I've now listed this article as a GA. Congrats! Resolute 15:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cy Young

Hi, I saw that you GA reviewed my nomination. The things you said are fixable; I've already fixed three things. There is one problem, I believe. Some of my references, like Baseball Reference or Baseball Almanac, do not have an author (or dates for that matter). What would I do in that situation? Thanks for the help.--LAAFan 02:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, would you mind to copyedit the event section in Lockdown. Because I was asked to get someone to copyedit it in the GA review. click here.--WillC 17:16, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, do you have anyone to suggest?--WillC 18:48, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Out of universe

Hi Nikki, I am fundamentally disagreeing with your assessment that every sentence in a wrestling article has to describe it as "scripted" (passing over the insulting and inaccurate nature of statements that it is "fake"). I will not change your latest version about that on Stacy Carter but if your truly hold the above belief I wish you luck when trying to make all the other wrestling articles conform to it. For no wrestling article I know adds "scripted" to each and every result. Good luck. Str1977 (talk) 19:40, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I just reviewed Doni Tondo and passed the article. It is excellent work. I even looked for a reason to put it on hold. Congratulations. Lazulilasher (talk) 12:26, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra GAC

Hi! Thanks for taking up 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra for reviewing. I have tried solving the issues pointed out. However, I know I have not solved all of them very satisfactorily. Would be glad if have a second look. Thanks again, —KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 13:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cy Young

Hi. I've done all but two of your statements about what needs to be proved. Those two are the heavy copyediting and the citation needed statements. Could you give me examples of my copyediting mistakes? Unsure how "heavy" the article lacks. If you give me examples, I know exactly what you want, and I can fix it. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so a quick response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.--LAAFan 18:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cy Young GA review addressed

I finally found a computer, and I finished the Cy Young GA review requests I believe. For the citation needed tags, I replaced with references. Some, like the ones in the legacy section, have one reference for many sentences. That's because I checked that every sentence is verified with the reference, meaning the paragraph is sourced from the reference. As for the copyediting, I wasn't able to help in that, but I believe other users helped with that and fixed the errors. Cheers.--LAAFan 16:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Winnona Park Elementary

Hi, would it be possible to re-create the Winnona Park Elementary page? I'm can spend some time collecting the right information to ensure it is 'notable'. I understand the argument around notability, but it seems a little agressive to delete a school just because there are lots of other ones in the country. In fact it's interesting that this seems to happen to US schools more than it does to international ones (I'm originally from the UK) - and I'm guessing it's because people don't check on those so frequently.

Could you give me some advice on what would pass the notability criteria? Thanks. Chrisu87 (talk) 03:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Much More Careful From Now On

Sorry! Thanks for the guidance; I'll be much more careful from now on! <:)

Since you actually know what you're talking about, can I ask a few questions? When one promotes an article to GA status and puts it on WP:GA, do you have to update the number of GAs in a category and/or the total number of GAs? There was no instruction on the GAC page, so I just assumed that a bot did it, but I just want to make sure.

Thanks. Intothewoods29 (talk) 01:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Input

How do you see HBK's article now? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I think we should try to add the new out-of-universe style to the article, since no one has "criticized" how SS'03 looks. Yeah, it wouldn't be that hard to explain the moves, since clicking on the links and you have the info. explained. Yeah, I was talking to SRX about adding the "real names" to the article and yeah overlinking the names will have to be fixed. Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that, since there's nothing really mentioned of the MSG incident. Also, how does the FUR look for the MSG image? Alright, I'll try to explain the whole thing about the ring names, like tomorrow. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 03:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cy Young GA Review addressed (Round 2)

Rena Mero

Hi, I recently signed up to help with the GA sweeps project. I noticed that the editor who was reviewing this article has left the sweeps project but that the review has been on hold since January. He has informed me that he will not be continuing with the sweeps and that I can take over for this article.

Since the only concern remaining was a dead link, I am inclined to pass the article. I wanted to ask you, though, if you thought it would be possible/acceptable to provide a link to a copy of the article at http://www.forever-ashley.com/news/index.php?news=275. I haven't looked at the site, but I'm assuming that it's not reliable. Is there a way to cite the Miami Herald and possibly include this link somewhere in the reference, or should the article remain as it is? GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I closed the reassessment as a "keep". Thanks for your help with wrapping it up. I've been enjoying participating in the GA sweeps, and I'm sure you'd do a great job if you're interested. It's a really worthwhile project, as it helps keep the quality of GAs at a reasonable level. I considered joining for a while because the categories are so large and I didn't know about committing to ~40 articles. I took a small one this time, but I'm wondering if the organizers would be okay with two or more editors splitting a category. GaryColemanFan (talk) 00:16, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you (again)

But could you copyedit Bad Blood (2003)? Thanks so much.--SRX 02:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Done and added some suggestions to the talk page. Nikki311 19:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much, I can always count on you! I also responded to the suggestions you made on the talk page.--SRX 13:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jericho

You may not think it is appropriate, but guess what, I do and so does Chris! The reason he left the WWE was to concentrate on his band and his film work. He traveled to London, England to film for Bloodstained Memoirs and tour with Fozzy. Why you only want to mention the band, I don't know? And you don't even try to give any reasoning? But it doesn't matter, Chris pushed hard for his movie work (Bloodstained Memoirs) and Music work (Fozzy) to be recognised (via his book, his site, his IMDB) etc therefore it should be recognised here. Your own personal opinions should not and will not come into it. Arthur Cutz (talk) 22:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rob Van Dam

The exact same thing with Rob Van Dam. Wikipedia is not for little WWE fans. His history doesn't end when he left WWE OK. He left WWE, and the very next day he signed up for a major movie. THis goes in the lead. The main reason he left was to do RVDTV - this goes in the lead. You need to be less of a WWE fan and be more objective in your edits. I will be keeping an eye on these pages.
