Look, Matt, I'm very sorry about what I posted on your page last time I was here. I really overeacted. I was just going through a very rough time at that moment. Don't bother responding to this message. I have officially retired from Wikipedia. I currently do not know if I'll return in the future. However, it seems unlikely. Again, sorry. Tell the same thing to LAX please! Thanks!

I would argue that this is pointless and a waste of server space (however minute, if everyone did it... blah), and as such I believe you should remove it. If you'd rather not remove it, that is also fine with me, but I may call in for a second opinion. Have a nice day! :) asenine t/ c\ r (fc: f2abr04) 16:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Yay! Prizes! I'm really honored to be the first editor of the week, especially since I haven't been able to do many projects lately. I'll be more involved after my final tomorrow afternoon, because I'll have nothing better to do with my summer than spend endless hours indoors editing Wikipedia. :) Also, I think that article does qualify for quickfail. Most of the information is unreferenced, the lead is inadequate, and the sentences are short and choppy. Nikki 311 20:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the barnstar, I don't get those very often. It's nice to be appreciated. Useight ( talk) 21:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Nici mentioned above in a barnstar that you design people's userpages. Any ideas for improving mine? While it seems to have been a rather popular design amongst those who've seen it over the years, to me it has seemed to have awkwardness in it, but I can't place it. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass 00:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
No, so long as it maintains some masculinity, and the picture of the 9/11 victims stays. I'm not picky, as I've been bored with the design for some time. I'd like to keep the table near the top as well, as that's what I've kept from my long-retired friend DLord. The colors of it can be varied as much as you'd like, tough. Also, could you perhaps modify my siggy? I'd like to make it clear that I'm the original Sexy One, but I can't figure out an attractive way to do it. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass 00:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
The whole code wouldn't fit, so I modified it a little. Thanks Matt, finally an idea that works. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass The Original 01:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Last time I checked using templates in siggys was against the rules. Has this changed? Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass The Original 01:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, guess I'll give it a shot. Thanks Matt! Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass The Original 01:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Alright, cool. Thanks Matt, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal
Sorry, I was out grabbing Mexican food ;). Mmm, Carne Asada. Anyway, you'd better allow Mexican food, or you'll have to deal with a carnivorous aquatic creature with great hair and a killer smile, let me tell you... :) Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 02:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Matt! Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 04:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
It's looking great! If you want you can abandon everything in the pseudo-awards section of my barnstar page. It's all unnecessary, and looks like a lot of trouble for you. I won't have any heartache over it. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 23:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I like it, but it still needs the barnstars. Also, do you know of a way to make it work in all pixel settings, as opposed to just 1024 by 768? I'd like it to work for everything. I'll change the tribute. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 00:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Matt. I have the code written for your surprise when you're done :). Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 00:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Is there a way you can put a border around my signature? To resemble like the cover of Street Racing Syndicate? (I know it wont exactly look like that, but something similar).--~ S R S~ 22:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
it is made to help some wikipedia articles that might not be edited that much. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I am not a good editor. so go out and be bold Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
are you saying i cant give editors a challenge. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 01:25, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Please take a look at what I did at WP:HAU and let me know what you think. Also, if you have any ideas for making the page more well-known and used, I'd like to hear those, too. Thanks. Useight ( talk) 06:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't see how WP:CSD#A1 (lack of context) can apply to articles such as BattlARTS and others that you just tagged. So please use it only in appropriate circumstances. -- Tikiwont ( talk) 11:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Since signing up for your challenge, I have added infoboxes to 25 articles (all of them wrestling articles). While looking for articles without infoboxes, I also managed to tag a few that didn't yet have the WP:PW template, so it turned out to be a useful challenge in a couple of ways. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 20:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
why did you remove my picture on my page. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 22:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Show me some law that says so. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
ok i just saw it. can i work with you to improuve an article or something to make it up to you. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
see my userpage and tell me if you accept. and tell all your friends. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Just a tip - but when giving out the rest of the barnstars for the challenges related to WikiProjects, you might want to use The WikiProject Barnstar. Cheers! - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 18:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
When you sent me that message. I read it. I just need to learn how to do an article. And since nobody cares what the point of doing one, because you guys are doing all your articles and i need some help on how to do one. No disrespect towards you or any other person on wikipedia, but i need to learn how to do an article. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 7:56, 9 May (UTC)
What I mean by "doing an article" is writing one like you do. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 7:59, 9 May (UTC)
Yeah your probably right. But if I need to do that "adoption" thing I'll do it. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 8:04, 9 May (UTC)
1 other thing. I'm still looking for an article to expand/improve. Because you said that I need to stick with 1 article and not change all of the time. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 8:10, 9 May (UTC)
Yeah I know what you mean now. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 8:14, 9 May (UTC)
I was thinking about some of the biggest names in wrestling history, but I'd definitely love to see Martel's article expanded. I'll leave it for now, but I'm thinking about starting a challenge for wrestling stars of the 1980s, so I might move it to the new challenge if nobody has signed up by then. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 22:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Cheers, The Chronic 14:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Matt, I took up your challenge at User:Sharkface217/Award Center#Brighten up Somebody's Day by passing out 200 wikicookies to new article creators: 2008-05-09=50, 2008-05-07=25, 2008-05-06=105, and 2008-05-05=20. The thank you responses really encouraged me to keep at it. Of course, I saved the last cookie on the plate for you. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 19:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
It's alright, don't worry about it. Anyway, I'll look over those barnstar pages and give you an update later on. I'm working on some anti-vandalism stuff right now, and I plan on it taking me a few minutes, so I'll let you know in a little bit. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 22:25, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, I'd say format it like LAX's barnstar page, but have the whole page on my userpage. Also, I'm using two signatures now. There's the SexySeaBass one, and my "formal" signature. When you get done with the page, could you perhaps create a siggy that uses "The Hybrid" in the name that looks cool, and is in keeping with my personality. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 22:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, but I was thinking of different colors than my standard. I'd like two completely different siggys. However, you're busy,and an idea just popped into my head that I'd like to try out. I'm thinking Hot Rod. I'll design the siggy. Thanks though, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 23:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
The other awards, way too much space to take up for smilies and stuff, it was getting on my nerves even before :P. I've gotta go to dinner. Cheers, The Hyb rid 23:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I've gotta go to a party, but I'll be back later. The new siggy isn't hot rod theme, but it still looks cool. I'll get your award to you for my page sometime tonight. Cheers, The Hybrid Halloo 23:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
You're right, I switched to a gold theme. Anyway, I want to give you the award, if for no other reason then I spent a while working on it :P. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 05:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm still interested to hear his take on it. The human brain develops so differently from person to person, it is a wonder humans can even communicate. Everyone sees things a little differently, and everyone should have their opinions entertained. I do appreciate your input, however. Since my role will be as a mentor, it is best that I don't take a side ;) Cheers, - The Hybrid- 22:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Good job with the name changing on the WP:PW talk page. Very diplomatic. I haven't actively searched for other wrestlers with similar naming convention issues, but I assume there are many others. -- Endless Dan 14:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello again. The Highly Active Users project has gone through a complete revamping per popular demand. We believe this new format will make it easier for new editors to find assistance. However, with the new format, I must again ask you to verify your information on this page. I attempted to translate the data from the old version to the new, but with the extensive changes, I may have made some errors. Thanks again. Useight ( talk) 04:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I am going to bundle in the titles for this fed. Have a look at User:Darrenhusted/sandbox and let me know if you are planning on AfD-ing anything listed (that has not already been gone or is up). Darrenhusted ( talk) 11:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I have about half an hour. So what needs to be done on London? ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 20:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
That is definitely suspicious, but LAX is an admin so it could be any random person he's blocked before in the past. The couple of IPs I've blocked for being Hornet socks always started with 72. I'm not exactly sure how IPs work, but the number has something to do with location, I think. Keep an eye on him a bit longer. Nikki 311 23:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Hornetman has better grammar than that IP. Also, that IP is registered to AOL. Hornetman doesn't have AOL. It is probably someone else, like Nikki suggested. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 23:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Matthew. I came across a Wikipedia article a couple of days ago on Tor Johnson. I've never heard of him before but apparently he was a former wrestler in his day. Do you know anything about him or if it's even true that he was a former wrestling star? CadenS ( talk) 08:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
1. he deleted both of my images with no warning and in my opinion no good reason. 2. i don't call telling someone that they should be stripped of their admin powers a personal attack.
If (and by if I mean when) I am in WWE will i be able to use them on my page? Altenhofen ( talk) 22:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

The number of stub articles has decreased to its lowest level since the project began its focus on improving them. The goal is to get the number below 600, and we're getting close. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.

Oh, well I don't feel like going back, but you should be careful next time of what you do. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, SRS here!
Long time, no...um....you know. So, "King" iMattthew, as it says in your sig, I hear you're coaching for admin rank. What exactly is admin, anyway? I've thought about going for that rank in the future, but Hybrid says it's stressful. So, what is it?
Peace Out! :-) Sexy Sea Flounder The $R$ 03:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
With all the name changing conversations going on, you think it could help avoid future disagreements if the individual wrestler naming convention conversation is moved to the corresponding wrestler's article talk page (after it is resolved, of course)?
So, if someone comes along and thinks Santino's page should be moved to his real name, the entire convo can be found on his talk page rather then having to dig through WP:PW's talk archives. -- Endless Dan 13:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Ha, thanks for the barnstar Matt! It means a lot to me. Um, could you put it on the barnstar page for me; I can't figure out how that formatting works :P. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 01:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

My plan was to start on SummerSlam (1989) pretty soon. I'll go ahead and claim it at the PPV expansion page. I want to wait until SS '88's FAC is closed first. Nikki 311 02:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Alright. Hopefully this can pass FL, because the 2007 WWE Draft looks better IMO, and it failed its FLC, because of lack of media attention. Should I put the 2007 one for PR as well?-- S R X 15:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
I like it. I think it would be best probably called 2007 in World Wrestling Entertainment. The format looks good and I can see this becoming a pretty good article. It might be worth outlining the feuds in the lead when you come to it. D.M.N. ( talk) 21:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Per your award center challenge, List of San Diego Chargers head coaches and List of Atlanta Falcons head coaches are both featured. I created and did just about all the work on both of them. Thanks, « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie ( talk / contribs) 23:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
I've actually started doing this every two weeks; it's a bit less frequent, but still gives a good amount of reviews for each cycle. Plus, it doesn't keep me quite as busy. The process involves more than just a simple count of the number of reviews; I look at each individual review that's been completed (either pass or fail), and not counting 'on holds' (holds will be counted once they pass). Of the pass/fails, I look at the actual review itself; was the review a simple statement (e.g. "this article passes GA."), with nothing else in the review, or did the review point out specific issues and relate them to the GA criteria. A simple pass/fail is not counted, reviews with helpful comments (even 'pass' reviews that either convert from on hold status after comments were made, or a pass that goes beyond the criteria and offers useful suggestions for improvement towards ultimate FA status) are what I am looking at for the awards. The process also allows me to do a second, quality control review to catch articles that might otherwise slip through that obviously don't meet the criteria. Dr. Cash ( talk) 15:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, go ahead. I'm probably going to retire the SexySeaBass signature; I've grown apart from it. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 05:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Just a little thank you for telling to get back on track. I promise that his sig will be the last one for a while. By the way, nice new sig. Cheers,Simon K S K 19:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
My attention's just been drawn to this. I appreciate it's a month ago and you may have realised your mistake since then (I haven't checked your more recent contributions yet) but this is your only warning regarding the matter. You've explicitly advised a user to breach policy to evade the automatic protections built into the system, and consequently got him into trouble through no fault of his own; please do not continue to give advice like this. — iride scent 23:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Matt, I have added spoken files to WWE Cruiserweight Championship and WWE European Championship, would this warrant a mention on the Newsletter? Darrenhusted ( talk) 09:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Please explain how "wrong" it is.
Vince has been on Raw 3 of the last 4 weeks, will be on next week to explain the giveaway [1], and was running Raw last week due to a lack of a GM and more than likely will keep doing so until there's a new GM.
I was putting him under other on-air talent along with Dibiase, due to him being with his son.
Where am I mistaken?

Yay! Prizes! I'm really honored to be the first editor of the week, especially since I haven't been able to do many projects lately. I'll be more involved after my final tomorrow afternoon, because I'll have nothing better to do with my summer than spend endless hours indoors editing Wikipedia. :) Also, I think that article does qualify for quickfail. Most of the information is unreferenced, the lead is inadequate, and the sentences are short and choppy. Nikki 311 20:21, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the barnstar, I don't get those very often. It's nice to be appreciated. Useight ( talk) 21:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Nici mentioned above in a barnstar that you design people's userpages. Any ideas for improving mine? While it seems to have been a rather popular design amongst those who've seen it over the years, to me it has seemed to have awkwardness in it, but I can't place it. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass 00:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
No, so long as it maintains some masculinity, and the picture of the 9/11 victims stays. I'm not picky, as I've been bored with the design for some time. I'd like to keep the table near the top as well, as that's what I've kept from my long-retired friend DLord. The colors of it can be varied as much as you'd like, tough. Also, could you perhaps modify my siggy? I'd like to make it clear that I'm the original Sexy One, but I can't figure out an attractive way to do it. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass 00:47, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
The whole code wouldn't fit, so I modified it a little. Thanks Matt, finally an idea that works. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass The Original 01:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Last time I checked using templates in siggys was against the rules. Has this changed? Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass The Original 01:17, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, guess I'll give it a shot. Thanks Matt! Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass The Original 01:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Alright, cool. Thanks Matt, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal
Sorry, I was out grabbing Mexican food ;). Mmm, Carne Asada. Anyway, you'd better allow Mexican food, or you'll have to deal with a carnivorous aquatic creature with great hair and a killer smile, let me tell you... :) Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 02:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Matt! Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 04:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
It's looking great! If you want you can abandon everything in the pseudo-awards section of my barnstar page. It's all unnecessary, and looks like a lot of trouble for you. I won't have any heartache over it. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 23:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I like it, but it still needs the barnstars. Also, do you know of a way to make it work in all pixel settings, as opposed to just 1024 by 768? I'd like it to work for everything. I'll change the tribute. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 00:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Matt. I have the code written for your surprise when you're done :). Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 00:24, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Is there a way you can put a border around my signature? To resemble like the cover of Street Racing Syndicate? (I know it wont exactly look like that, but something similar).--~ S R S~ 22:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Please take a look at what I did at WP:HAU and let me know what you think. Also, if you have any ideas for making the page more well-known and used, I'd like to hear those, too. Thanks. Useight ( talk) 06:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
I don't see how WP:CSD#A1 (lack of context) can apply to articles such as BattlARTS and others that you just tagged. So please use it only in appropriate circumstances. -- Tikiwont ( talk) 11:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Since signing up for your challenge, I have added infoboxes to 25 articles (all of them wrestling articles). While looking for articles without infoboxes, I also managed to tag a few that didn't yet have the WP:PW template, so it turned out to be a useful challenge in a couple of ways. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 20:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
why did you remove my picture on my page. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 22:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Show me some law that says so. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
ok i just saw it. can i work with you to improuve an article or something to make it up to you. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:09, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
see my userpage and tell me if you accept. and tell all your friends. Just so you know, I'm On Base and you're not. 23:57, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Just a tip - but when giving out the rest of the barnstars for the challenges related to WikiProjects, you might want to use The WikiProject Barnstar. Cheers! - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 18:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
When you sent me that message. I read it. I just need to learn how to do an article. And since nobody cares what the point of doing one, because you guys are doing all your articles and i need some help on how to do one. No disrespect towards you or any other person on wikipedia, but i need to learn how to do an article. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 7:56, 9 May (UTC)
What I mean by "doing an article" is writing one like you do. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 7:59, 9 May (UTC)
Yeah your probably right. But if I need to do that "adoption" thing I'll do it. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 8:04, 9 May (UTC)
1 other thing. I'm still looking for an article to expand/improve. Because you said that I need to stick with 1 article and not change all of the time. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 8:10, 9 May (UTC)
Yeah I know what you mean now. Cheers.-. Cimmo ( talk) 8:14, 9 May (UTC)
I was thinking about some of the biggest names in wrestling history, but I'd definitely love to see Martel's article expanded. I'll leave it for now, but I'm thinking about starting a challenge for wrestling stars of the 1980s, so I might move it to the new challenge if nobody has signed up by then. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 22:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! Cheers, The Chronic 14:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Matt, I took up your challenge at User:Sharkface217/Award Center#Brighten up Somebody's Day by passing out 200 wikicookies to new article creators: 2008-05-09=50, 2008-05-07=25, 2008-05-06=105, and 2008-05-05=20. The thank you responses really encouraged me to keep at it. Of course, I saved the last cookie on the plate for you. -- Rosiestep ( talk) 19:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
It's alright, don't worry about it. Anyway, I'll look over those barnstar pages and give you an update later on. I'm working on some anti-vandalism stuff right now, and I plan on it taking me a few minutes, so I'll let you know in a little bit. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 22:25, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, I'd say format it like LAX's barnstar page, but have the whole page on my userpage. Also, I'm using two signatures now. There's the SexySeaBass one, and my "formal" signature. When you get done with the page, could you perhaps create a siggy that uses "The Hybrid" in the name that looks cool, and is in keeping with my personality. Cheers, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 22:55, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, but I was thinking of different colors than my standard. I'd like two completely different siggys. However, you're busy,and an idea just popped into my head that I'd like to try out. I'm thinking Hot Rod. I'll design the siggy. Thanks though, Sexy Sea Bass TheOriginal 23:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
The other awards, way too much space to take up for smilies and stuff, it was getting on my nerves even before :P. I've gotta go to dinner. Cheers, The Hyb rid 23:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I've gotta go to a party, but I'll be back later. The new siggy isn't hot rod theme, but it still looks cool. I'll get your award to you for my page sometime tonight. Cheers, The Hybrid Halloo 23:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
You're right, I switched to a gold theme. Anyway, I want to give you the award, if for no other reason then I spent a while working on it :P. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 05:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Cool. I'll probably officially ask the project in a couple of days, so we can get more volunteers to do reviews, help expand, etc. Nikki 311 21:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Matt, kudos on the SA AfDs. Keep up the good work. But on the above article you forgot the first step (AfD notice on the page). I have now added it. Darrenhusted ( talk) 11:50, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm still interested to hear his take on it. The human brain develops so differently from person to person, it is a wonder humans can even communicate. Everyone sees things a little differently, and everyone should have their opinions entertained. I do appreciate your input, however. Since my role will be as a mentor, it is best that I don't take a side ;) Cheers, - The Hybrid- 22:16, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Good job with the name changing on the WP:PW talk page. Very diplomatic. I haven't actively searched for other wrestlers with similar naming convention issues, but I assume there are many others. -- Endless Dan 14:40, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I got it. Thanks, though. Nikki 311 00:46, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello again. The Highly Active Users project has gone through a complete revamping per popular demand. We believe this new format will make it easier for new editors to find assistance. However, with the new format, I must again ask you to verify your information on this page. I attempted to translate the data from the old version to the new, but with the extensive changes, I may have made some errors. Thanks again. Useight ( talk) 04:25, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I am going to bundle in the titles for this fed. Have a look at User:Darrenhusted/sandbox and let me know if you are planning on AfD-ing anything listed (that has not already been gone or is up). Darrenhusted ( talk) 11:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I have about half an hour. So what needs to be done on London? ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 20:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
That is definitely suspicious, but LAX is an admin so it could be any random person he's blocked before in the past. The couple of IPs I've blocked for being Hornet socks always started with 72. I'm not exactly sure how IPs work, but the number has something to do with location, I think. Keep an eye on him a bit longer. Nikki 311 23:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Hornetman has better grammar than that IP. Also, that IP is registered to AOL. Hornetman doesn't have AOL. It is probably someone else, like Nikki suggested. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 23:40, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
I did. :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tool-apc ( talk • contribs) 02:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Matthew. I came across a Wikipedia article a couple of days ago on Tor Johnson. I've never heard of him before but apparently he was a former wrestler in his day. Do you know anything about him or if it's even true that he was a former wrestling star? CadenS ( talk) 08:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
1. he deleted both of my images with no warning and in my opinion no good reason. 2. i don't call telling someone that they should be stripped of their admin powers a personal attack.
If (and by if I mean when) I am in WWE will i be able to use them on my page? Altenhofen ( talk) 22:29, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

The number of stub articles has decreased to its lowest level since the project began its focus on improving them. The goal is to get the number below 600, and we're getting close. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.

Oh, well I don't feel like going back, but you should be careful next time of what you do. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, SRS here!
Long time, no...um....you know. So, "King" iMattthew, as it says in your sig, I hear you're coaching for admin rank. What exactly is admin, anyway? I've thought about going for that rank in the future, but Hybrid says it's stressful. So, what is it?
Peace Out! :-) Sexy Sea Flounder The $R$ 03:43, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
With all the name changing conversations going on, you think it could help avoid future disagreements if the individual wrestler naming convention conversation is moved to the corresponding wrestler's article talk page (after it is resolved, of course)?
So, if someone comes along and thinks Santino's page should be moved to his real name, the entire convo can be found on his talk page rather then having to dig through WP:PW's talk archives. -- Endless Dan 13:06, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Ha, thanks for the barnstar Matt! It means a lot to me. Um, could you put it on the barnstar page for me; I can't figure out how that formatting works :P. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 01:07, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

My plan was to start on SummerSlam (1989) pretty soon. I'll go ahead and claim it at the PPV expansion page. I want to wait until SS '88's FAC is closed first. Nikki 311 02:46, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Alright. Hopefully this can pass FL, because the 2007 WWE Draft looks better IMO, and it failed its FLC, because of lack of media attention. Should I put the 2007 one for PR as well?-- S R X 15:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
I like it. I think it would be best probably called 2007 in World Wrestling Entertainment. The format looks good and I can see this becoming a pretty good article. It might be worth outlining the feuds in the lead when you come to it. D.M.N. ( talk) 21:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
My talkpage is Semi-Protected. All semi-protection means is that IP's can't edit it, and that any accoutns under 3 days old cannot edit it. I could ask for it to be fully-protected, but then I wouldn't be able to edit it! D.M.N. ( talk) 19:37, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I've actually started doing this every two weeks; it's a bit less frequent, but still gives a good amount of reviews for each cycle. Plus, it doesn't keep me quite as busy. The process involves more than just a simple count of the number of reviews; I look at each individual review that's been completed (either pass or fail), and not counting 'on holds' (holds will be counted once they pass). Of the pass/fails, I look at the actual review itself; was the review a simple statement (e.g. "this article passes GA."), with nothing else in the review, or did the review point out specific issues and relate them to the GA criteria. A simple pass/fail is not counted, reviews with helpful comments (even 'pass' reviews that either convert from on hold status after comments were made, or a pass that goes beyond the criteria and offers useful suggestions for improvement towards ultimate FA status) are what I am looking at for the awards. The process also allows me to do a second, quality control review to catch articles that might otherwise slip through that obviously don't meet the criteria. Dr. Cash ( talk) 15:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, go ahead. I'm probably going to retire the SexySeaBass signature; I've grown apart from it. Cheers, - The Hybrid- 05:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Just a little thank you for telling to get back on track. I promise that his sig will be the last one for a while. By the way, nice new sig. Cheers,Simon K S K 19:35, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
My attention's just been drawn to this. I appreciate it's a month ago and you may have realised your mistake since then (I haven't checked your more recent contributions yet) but this is your only warning regarding the matter. You've explicitly advised a user to breach policy to evade the automatic protections built into the system, and consequently got him into trouble through no fault of his own; please do not continue to give advice like this. — iride scent 23:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Matt, I have added spoken files to WWE Cruiserweight Championship and WWE European Championship, would this warrant a mention on the Newsletter? Darrenhusted ( talk) 09:47, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Please explain how "wrong" it is.
Vince has been on Raw 3 of the last 4 weeks, will be on next week to explain the giveaway [1], and was running Raw last week due to a lack of a GM and more than likely will keep doing so until there's a new GM.
I was putting him under other on-air talent along with Dibiase, due to him being with his son.
Where am I mistaken?
