AAA When Worlds Collide[edit]

5x expanded by MPJ-DK (talk). Self-nominated at 18:43, 28 June 2015 (UTC).

  • Length, date, hook (for ALT1 only), and QPQ verified. At this point, I would approve ALT1. My concern with the original hook is the math. If he died on the 23rd and the show took place on the 6th, I'm only counting 17 days. Unless my math is wrong, I would prefer to see this changed in the article's "Aftermath" section before the DYK is posted (at which point I think either hook would work well).

  • Hi, I came by to promote this but found that the article needed a thorough copyedit, which I did. For an encyclopedia article, it is unnecessarily and overly detailed about every move that the wrestlers made during their matches, and I think the description should be cut down considerably. Earwig's Copyvio Detector is showing a high likelihook of copyvios from numerous sources, and I think each one should be checked before this goes through. Two of the paragraphs under Background lack at least one cite, per DYK rules. I would also like to know if the show name is usually italicized, as it is for movies?

  • @Yoninah: - Looking at the copyvio I do not actually see anything other than where it's 3-4 words that are the same, often the name of the event, the wrestlers and in one case the quote pulled from the article (properly cited). Looking at the comparisons there are not blocks of text or even actual sentences that are identical, yes they use the same words here and there but that's not the same as copying it. But by all means check them all. Thank you for the copy edits, always appreciated. Most of the matches save the tag hair match are not really move by move at all for the matches. For the hair match, it is the most well known match of the show, giving it a little extra prominence and thus a little extra attention. I put down a citation for the statement that was tagged with "needs citation". MPJ -Viva Esfinge  01:59, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
  • And I missed a question, sorry. No English PPV names are usually not italicized in the pro wrestling manual of style.  MPJ -Viva Esfinge  03:01, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

Alright so I went through the top article that popped on the copyvio list to see what was triggering it. Link 1 - From PW Torch, the following phrases were highighted in the article as also appearing in the Wiki article (I have omitted any repeated phrases)

  • Hardly what I would call plagiarism - two articles covering the same events only has a few bits and pieces in common. I did not want to go through the rest here, but it's the same problems. So to me I do not see the need to edit the text to not state "Referee Pepe Casas" or "El Hijo del Santo" etc. But I am always open to learning something new, if the results above ARE indicative of copyright violations please do let me know.  MPJ -Viva Esfinge  23:56, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
  • I agree that the text matches do not constitute plagiarism. Furthermore, the only paragraph that is uncited is basic information about the format of professional wrestling. There are no concerns that should be holding up this nomination. It is good to go. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:30, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks, @GaryColemanFan:, for rechecking and verifying that this is ready for the main page. My concerns have been addressed. Restoring tick per your review. Yoninah (talk) 13:55, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
