Hello

Hello Walls Jericho, it's pretty obvious you're here for wrestling. Let me invite you to the Wrestling wikiproject page. Feel free to introduce yourself at WT:PW. I notice that quite a few of your edits are adding invalid references. Do you need any help on that? Perhaps you should read the tutorial posted up above.

<ref> too much is obviously not a valid reference, for example, and adding <ref name=evanbourne2009> is not going to work either because no other reference is named like that. Also, when adding signature moves, you must provide multiple sources.

Let's go!

You're editing more, so your enthusiasm is definitely a good thing. Regarding on how you use references on Wikipedia, you should definitely read Yunshui's newly written guide. Though I can help you start off... get a source, say, [1], try editing a page, see that Cite button on the right above the text, click it, then templates, then usually "Cite web" if you're citing a website, and fill in the blanks there.

Now, there are still issues with your edits (not pertaining to sources), but we can still sort them out. It's to do with "tradition" on how we do things here at WP:PW. Just looking at your edits to Dolph Ziggler for example. You added the fireman's carry double knee gutbuster and the single leg boston crab. You're probably a fan of Ziggler, so you decided to add moves to his signature move list to make it look better. There's nothing wrong with that, but... the question is, are these moves really signature moves? While I definitely remember Ziggler using the gutbuster on John Morrison... he only did it once, if I remember correctly. I've never seen him use that before and after that time. So the question is, does the gutbuster count as a signature move, which by definition, Ziggler should use regularly? No, it cannot. We cannot use one-off, two-off moves as signature moves... no matter how good they look. That's why WP:PW established a recent consensus here that if you want to add a signature move, you must have multiple reliable sources showing that the wrestler has used such a move on many occasions. Three references is a good number to aim for. I don't blame you for making this "mistake", because I was in your position once. I originally added the gutbuster to Ziggler's article a long time ago. But now, I realise that by adding such moves that he didn't use regularly into the moveset, it diminishes the other moves that he actually uses regularly... like the leg drop bulldog. So, unless you can prove with reliable sources that Ziggler uses the single crab regularly... that will have to go too. Another issue that the consensus established is that we should remove signature moves which are too basic/common. Like.. maybe Curt Hawkins' clothesline. Everybody uses a clothesline. Or a punch. Or an elbow strike. Or an Irish whip. Or a hip toss. It's just not worth mentioning these in the same breath as Hawkins' swinging body slam. Unless, the clothesline is a remarkable signature move like Ryback's, or the punch is Big Show's, or the elbow is Barrett's... yeah, we could include them, but probably not for Hawkins. Huge chunk of text yeah, hope you can understand. Also, sign your comments with 4 consecutive ~ at the end of your post. Starship.paint (talk) 13:29, 6 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
