SERIOUSLY

Stop messing with the finishing moves! They are just fine the way they are! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.17.130.13 (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please separate his RAW/ECW section?

I think that someone should have his RAW time listed as 2008-2009 and then include in the biography all that happened since his return to RAW in 2008 until his departure from RAW in 2009. Then have an ECW section from 2009- where they include all that's happened on his time on ECW until whenever. I think that'd be better to keep things more organized since it looks like he'll be on ECW for a long while and quite possibly the rest of his career. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.59.3.5 (talk) 00:21, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much whoever helped to split the sections better than what I did! Great job!

I've merged the sections back together. Neither is long enough to stand on it's own, so there's no problem listing it under the "Return to WWE" header. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 22:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They were perfect standing on their own, plus it was orderly and neat. Now it just looks jumbled and a huge mess. The RAW and ECW run were under the "WWE Return" main header so it did make sense so please fix it or I'll just do it on my own.190.59.14.169 (talk) 23:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Theme Issue

Someone removed the list of all of his themes completely which was accurate, the ones I remember are from WWE which are: "Gold-Lust" by Jim Johnston "Gold-Lust" Remix using distortion techniques by Jim Johnston (used when he was The Artist Formerly known as Goldust)

According to WP:PW/SG, only themes with reliable sources can be listed. This is to prevent fan-made and inaccurate names. Nikki♥311 04:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added reliable sources but I'm not sure how to make them references in the article, they're hidden comments so anyone who can make them references will be a big help.

SOMEONE STOP THE EDITING

I am feedup having to save his page and re-edit stuff! People keep erasing "The Final Cut" as his finisher and/or changing what the move really is, which is a suplex into whiplash OR they call it "The Director's Cut" which it is NOT.

Also, they keep erasing details of the Sheamus feud which SHOULD be listed or at least be mentioned. I came on here and found that all mention of the feud was erased!

And finally, I keep bolding "The Lonestar" and adding WWE as using it as a nickname because Matt Striker constantly refers to Goldust on a weekly basis as THE LONESTAR!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE STOP RUINING HIS PAGE AND EDITING IT WHEN ALL THE CHANGES I MADE ARE PERFECT!?

If you provide a reliable source for the move name "The Final Cut" and what the move is, then that would solve that problem. Was the Sheamus feud week by week or was it notable to his overall career? Just because something happened recently, doesn't mean it is important. Nikki♥311 04:46, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I added a source for Final Cut awhile back and neglected to reply here. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 04:47, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. Just saw that (and that this comment was from a month ago!). Nikki♥311 04:51, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have two sentences on the feud with Sheamus, I don't think that's wrong to at least mention the first feud he's had on ECW especially in such a short form. I think that it is relevant to his career since he feuded with him for like 3 months plus it's the first thing that was note-worthy on ECW. Please don't change it, I think the article is perfect the way that I have it right now.190.59.24.219 (talk) 21:03, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe you should read WP:OWN. People are allowed to freely edit the article (as long as they follow policy and guidelines). This article is far from perfect. If it were perfect...it would be Featured. Nikki♥311 02:58, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But some people ruin it and do whatever they want with the article. Please tell me what will make this article perfect, I would like to make this article better.190.59.14.55 (talk) 20:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
