I thought it was strange that there was no article on Tony Anthony, but I guess it was deleted in June because it was unsourced and non-notable. I wrote a new article today on a subpage of my user page that includes sources, but I was hoping someone could look it over before I actually create a new article. If it will just be deleted again, I can put some more work into it. If it will be considered good enough, I'd like to post it so that people with a little more knowledge of Anthony can help out.
And, if it's good enough to post, do I just add it back to the page it was deleted from? I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and I've never created an article before (let alone one that was previously deleted). Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thanks for the help. I added some more references and I've created the article, so it's now up at Tony Anthony. I'll keep working on finding a bit about his personal life. I know that he was married at one point, but I don't know if they're still together. And I have absolutely no idea how to distinguish a free use picture from any other picture. Anyhow, your help with my first article creation is greatly appreciated. GaryColemanFan 23:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I think we should create an article for the Punjabi Prison Match, it is a unique match that is not similar to any other in TNA or WWE. It should have a seperate, such as the Elimination Chamber and Hell In a Cell becasue of its uniique nature, anyone agree or disagree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truco9311 ( talk • contribs)
Ugh. The steel cage match article is terrible. It needs some definite attention, sourcing, and cleaning up. Nikki311 23:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Well in accordance with the proposed guideline that just kinda fizzled out I just want to notify the members of this project that once the Fabulous Kangaroos becomes a GA my next article up for nomination will be Al Costello, it's already been worked over by Naha who's been giving me some great feedback - but it can always stand another pair of eyes or 3 before I nominate it so if anyone feels like having a look I'd appriciate it.

Can someone with some knowledge of this sport take a look at The Smokin' Gunns? I can't tell if it would make sense to an expert but as an outsider I find it not entirely clear. RJFJR 20:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed people adding dates for WWE PPV's after WrestleMania XXIV, but none of them have provided any sources. Should we remove them right now, or put citation needed tags up and give them a few days to provide sources? TJ Spyke 03:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

And just for the heck of it, [pwinsider.com/staff.asp here's the staff information.] Mshake3 05:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok, so there seems to be some debate on whether the next WM is going to be titled "WrestleMania 24" or "WrestleMania XXIV." 3bulletproof16 has uploaded Image:WrestleMania24logoNEW.JPG, using the source of "wwe.com", but does not point to the full URL where the image is actually located. He has also redirected "WrestleMania 24" to "WrestleMania XXIV."
Doing a search of both wwe.com and corporate.wwe.com for "WrestleMania XXIV" or just "XXIV" yields zero results for both articles and images. However, doing a search for "WrestleMania 24" on WWE.com yields 3 pages of results. In addition, page 5 of the latest issue of WWE Magazine, the "2007 Fall Preview" Special Issue Sept/Oct 2007 (which I have in my posession and incidently has a fairly interesting interview with CM Punk) has a full page advertisement for "WrestleMania 24" using this WrestleMania 24 logo (as opposed to a "XXIV logo"). Furthermore, www.orlandocentroplex.com (the location of WrestleMania 24), also uses this picture.
Ok and as I was typing this, my husband walked in after just checking the mail and plopped down an ever newer edition of WWE Magazine on my desk (November 2007 w/ Undertaker on the cover) and on page 25, it again uses the "24 logo."
Whether or not WWE plans to change to using a "XXIV logo", I have no idea, it may very well happen, but right now I can't find any proof that the "XXIV logo" is legit and actually from WWE. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, or in the correct places, I don't know. If someone can show proof that WWE has switched to the roman numeral logo, that would be great. Thanks, -- Naha| (talk) 18:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
So it's the same thing, an on sale promotion date. Still, the TV Commercial was made more recently, so I have to side with that. In fact, I'd bet that next month's magazine will have the same ad with the new logo. Mshake3 05:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
I question the value of having these articles at all. Particularly the second, it is fraught with problems, not the least of which is adequate citations to show what titles were "world" titles when, having the table accurately depicting only those champions from the time periods in question and not others (although the reverse also seems an issue, that champions have been removed wholesale because the titles in question are either not now or were not at some point counted), and most troubling is that it (both of them, actually) directly contradict another article, that being World Heavyweight Championship, which currently states the following
" NWA World Heavyweight Championship (1948-1991 / 2002-2007) - claims lineage of George Hackenschmidt's 1905 and Frank Gotch's 1908 version, defended in multiple territories and promotions since 1948, used in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from June 2002 to May 2007. Although it was stripped of its World Title status by PWI in 1991, with the recent success of TNA, PWI restored its World Title status officially in its August 2006 issue since it began being used in TNA in 2002. Shortly after NWA and TNA severed ties, NWA was quietly stripped of its World Title status, while TNA retained theirs. "
Yet Adam Pearce is listed in both the above mentioned articles. This quite obviously can't all be true.
And yes, I think it's a load of mularkey that what one magazine (which has rarely if ever paid attention to smaller companies - their Match of the Year for 2006 was Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon for chrissakes), time-honored and well-respected though it may be, says on the issue is treated like Gospel, but as I hope I've shown that's really beside the point. These articles have issues, issues that need dealing with, and in my mind (though I doubt anyone would agree with me on this) something this synthetic doesn't cry out for an article to begin with.
And then there's PWI's list of wrestling World Tag Team Title reigns, but World Tag Team Championship makes only three passing mentions of PWI, not like World Heavyweight Championship, the pro wrestling section of which makes it clear what its definition of "World Heavyweight Championship" is (despite, again, that being contradicted in PWI's list of wrestling World Heavyweight Title reigns and PWI's list of wrestling World Heavyweight Title reigns by length)
I think I'm rambling, and my points have probably been made somewhere in there. Cheers to anyone who read through all that :) Nosleep1234 15:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
That was really just an off-the-cuff remark. Care to address any of the other issues? I'm not saying we should include every fed that calls their belt a world title, I'm saying it's pointless to have these articles at all, considering that what they document is so subjective and synthetic.

As I did with December to Dismember (2006) a few weeks ago, I have now moved One Night Stand 2005 into the mainspace, which I have been worknig on in my sandbox for several days. Feel free to have a look at it. I will probably put it up for peer review within the next week. Davnel03 14:13, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Just for the record, I checked the first three citations for WrestleView, and all three of them came directly from PWInsider. And that site is blacklisted, while this one isn't? Mshake3 18:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
You all do realize that there are a grand total of zero references in it's current state, right? And we have to wait until ALL the PPVs in the series are fully writen before spliting them off? Bullshit. If an article is well written and correctly sourced, it should be allowed in the encyclopedia, end of story. Mshake3 19:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
(after 4 edit conflicts) Look folks, if information regarding a pay-per-view can be discussed in enough detail to warrant its own article space, and if it can be appropriately sourced, whether or not it is considered a "big" PPV has no bearing on it getting its own article. Its more than notable enough. The only problem with this ONS article is that its sources are questionable. When that is fixed it should return to the main space. There is no reason for waiting for all ONS articles to be completed before this one has its own article. That is completely rediculous. -- Naha| (talk) 19:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
If anyone cares, I'm working on the same thing for Lockdown (2007) on my Sandbox. Why this event? As I was actually at it ringside, I could encorporate many of the photos I've taken and make it one heck of an article. And if that works, I can also apply it to WrestleMania X8 and WrestleMania XIX. Mshake3 19:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Just a heads up that I'm heading offline for the night now, so can somebody try and keep an eye at One Night Stand (2006) in case somebody tries to remove the underconstruction tag at the top of the page. If anyone can improve the article while I'm offline, please do. That'll be great. Night all. Davnel03 19:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I've just come across this. Quote from article:
I'm guessing that a vandal inserted that in, but the fact that its got through to other websites, and the fact that we are credited as a source was beyond me. It seems to suggest that the event place has not been announced yet. What is our stance on this? Davnel03 08:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
What is the protocol on articles about wrestling toys/action figures? I'm only asking because I came across WWF Hasbro Action Figures. Is this worth cleaning up and keeping or should I prod it? Are there other lists of toys/action figures currently, because I don't think I've come across any up until this point. Nikki311 17:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
They are both notable enough to keep and have the potential to begood articles at some point. I haven't played RAW deal but have read about it several times in various places. I am, however, a budding action figure collector lol. Believe it or not, Hasbro and Jakks Pacific have a lot of history with and the evolution of their products and that type of information could make a good article. The figures are fairly regularly featured in a couple toy collecting magazines I've read in the past. Although they are mostly about Jakks figures these days as opposed to Hasbro, because that is who is currently producing WWE and TNA figures. WWE actually either currently has or recently had a lawsuit with Jakks Pacific over something or other. -- Naha| (talk) 00:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
The message below was left on my talkpage, and thought it would be interesting to bring it here:

I dont kknow if anyone else saw it but, WWE has confimed the chris jericho return, in a weird way. Listen this link is not considered reliable but the video is from last night on Monday NIght RAW (9/24) and they ahve written its significance, I actually paused the video to see if it was true, IT WAS!. Click Here >> [4].
P.S. Before you read what they have wrote, scroll down to the video box and watch the video from last night and then read it what they wrote
So should we request and admin to add this information?-- TrUcO9311 21:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be a grammatical disagreement in several articles. Another editor and I are disagreeing on how Shawn Michaels move should be mentioned in PPV results. He thinks it should be listed by itself (i.e. "Michaels pinned Austin after Sweet Chin Music"). I have told him that doesn't sound right to me and should have something listed in front (i.e. "Michaels pinned Kane after a Sweet Chin Music" or "Michaels pinned Hart after the Sweet Chin Music"). What do others think? This issue has been on and off for a few months, never anything serious but it should be settled once and for all. TJ Spyke 22:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
The reason why I change it to having nothing in front of it is because music is a collective noun and does not need an "A" in front of. Just basic grammar. Plus no other sites have "A" in front of it. TheHeartbreakKid15 20:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment: as a wrestling move Sweet Chin Music may validly have an article—either definite or indefinite—placed before it; however, as a capitalised proper noun, it is easily recognisable as a move—distinguishable from adjectival sweet chin music—and, as such, does not require either the or a. Therefore, my suggestion is that both forms are acceptable and that changes should not be made to the initial occurrence (as with policy governing use of American and British English), although, in contrast to that policy, consistency within the page is not required, i.e. just because the first Sweet Chin Music appearing on a page had the in front of it, it does not mean that all occurrences on that page require the too.
Whatever the ultimate concensus is—and whether it requires a simple discussion here, conversations with the mediation cabal, or a formal dispute resolution—please wait until that concensus has been reached before continuing in your petty edit war. ObfuscatePenguin 00:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I've never heard it referred to as anything other than simply "Sweet Chin Music." What's more, "the Sweet Chin Music" sound absolutely horrible. "A Sweet Chin Music" is not much better. Koberulz 15:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
There appears to be a lot of discrepancies and questionable information on Antonino Rocca's article. Case in point: him being a national champion rugby or soccer player & starting his wrestling career when he was 13.

Just letting you guys know that due to recent vandalism stemming from the promo on RAW, the Jericho article has been fully-protected, and the talkpage has been semi-protected. Davnel03 19:33, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
It's that wonderful time of year again...the Diva Search and everything that comes along with it. As expected, a couple of the contestants have had pages pop up.

I've also recently come across this new article: Federation Years (WWE). Should it be merged into History of World Wrestling Entertainment and/or 1980s wrestling boom? I think it should...there's a lot or redundancy. Thoughts? Nikki311 17:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody else have an opinion on this. Should I suggest a merge? AfD? I'm not sure how to handle this one. Nikki311 01:08, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
The result of the debate was merge into History of World Wrestling Entertainment and 1980s wrestling boom. - Nikki311 03:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I know the site is a "dirt" wrestling site, but they have the poster for the 2007 event. [6] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truco9311 ( talk • contribs)
Honstley, I'm wondering if posters are even allowed in the articles. I think the one criteria it fails is that we're not discussing the posters themselves. Logos, while less interesting are more acceptable. Mshake3 02:11, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
This picture has to violate some sort of Wikipedia rule. It's about 10 times larger than any other picture I've seen on Wikipedia, and a non-wrestling fan might have trouble figuring out which one is Arcidi. Is it possible to crop the picture or is it an all-or-nothing deal? GaryColemanFan 06:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
The wrestlers are confirmed: but has it been confirmed they will appear on those brands in the game? If not, the roster should be changed back to just a general listing (until the game comes out). Just because someone is on a certain brand for WWE now, doesn't completely mean he or she will be on that brand when the game actually comes out. The game comes out in a little over a month, but that doesn't justify original research in the article. I posted this on the talk page of the article as well, to get a few more opinions on this. RobJ1981 16:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

On the Botch (professional wrestling) page, Sean Waltman's win over Razor Ramon is listed as a "botch". Someone at least put a "citation needed" tag on it, but it's been that way for a week now. When is it okay for me to delete the paragraph, when the poster hasn't found any source whatsoever besides a vague statement of "it was all over the national news when it happened", which I seriously doubt? Phoenix 19:53, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
A move seems to have been made unilaterally on this (I can find no discussion). I don't necessarily disagree, but I thought I'd bring it up. Kidman won the cruiserweight title four times in WWF/E - the first two were "WCW" cruiserweight titles during the Invasion, then a "WWF" cruiserweight title during the few months the belt was known by that name, then a "WWE" cruiserweight title a year or so later. Previously, his article tried (somewhat vainly) to differentiate all of these, but now it just says "Cruiserweight Championship (4 times)" with no promotion name given. Does this work for everybody?

An IP recently inserted a "Other on-screen talent" section into the One Night Stand (2005) article, see here.

An anonymous user has been changing the birth years for various wrestlers without citing sources, see Special:Contributions/84.43.0.85. I'm not sure how widespread this is, but thought someone associated with this project might want to look into this. I'm pretty sure Curt Hennig was born in 1958 not 1959, and 1960 as the birth year for Road Warrior Hawk looks improbable (one source says 1957). -- Rick Block ( talk) 17:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Enhanceddownloadbird has nominated Dave Bautista for GA. The article is a lot better than what is was when it was last nominated but I still think it has a fairly long way to go. Also it is constantly vandalised by IPs. Moves like this (nominating articles on the fly) gives the project a bad reputation, despite the efforts of its members to improve the credibility of the wrestling project by discussing GA nominations beforehand and recently wanting to revive the collaboration of the week. - Deep Shadow 04:03, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
My mistake. I'm sorry I give the project a bad reputation. I was trying to Be Bold. I view your comment as an attack on my person.
I'm sorry I'm not informed of procedures, but I requested this article be re-reviewed on it's talk page to no reply for some time. Unsure of where to go, I went to the top. Believe it or not, not all editors of wrestling articles know the procedures of WP:PW, as opposed to Wikipedia policies that are well posted. I have been an editor of several articles within WP:PW for quite some time, and never have I heard of this policy.
I'll take this as a learning experience and won't do it again now that I know, but I still resent the manner in which you brought the topic up. Why didn't you message me? Why did it take someone that hadn't even posted on this topic informing me of both policy and that my action had been brought up in WP:PW? This is my initial frustration (and continual distance) towards the project. Enhanceddownloadbird 18:16, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Indeed. I know others who are in the same boat as this and seem to fail to be able to work with WP:PW, and I wish that this could be fixed. I do hope to fix the distance issue between myself and the project, as I need others to successfully collaborate on Wikipedia. And while I realize the comment was not meant to be a personal attack, putting 2 ( Enhanceddownloadbird has nominated Dave Bautista for GA.) and 2 (Moves like this...gives the project a bad reputation) together does not make it a very happy 4. And I am still quite upset that no one in this conversation informed me personally of my project policy violation, instead it took Nikki to inform me. It would have been preferable for Deep Shadow to talk to me first before making it public. Enhanceddownloadbird 19:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I have an idea on how to turn this into a program that will greatly increase the credibility of the project. Every month, or maybe two months, we select the article from one of this project's GAs. That way we are all but guaranteed to pump out an FA at a relatively constant rate. If we could turn this project into one that is constant producing featured articles, then perhaps the outside community would look upon it a little more favorably than they do now. What do y'all think? The Hyb rid 03:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, this seems fairly unanimous. So, I'll see what needs to be done to fire it up, and starting tomorrow the drive will begin with Pedro Morales. Cheers, The Hyb rid 04:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I've cleaned up the page, and will now add the template to Pedro's talk page. Now we need nominations. I suggest that every week we post a thread on the project talk page to prevent this from becoming inactive again. We might even request that a bot deliver a notification to all project members weekly. Peace, The Hyb rid 04:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello! The
Pro Wrestling Collaboration of the Week for November 25 - December 2 is ??. Please help to improve it to match the quality of an
ideal Wikipedia
professional wrestling related article. The next article for collaboration will be chosen on Sunday, November 11.
|
Well, I just exhausted my usual sources for the article. It's come along way, but still needs some filling in. If anybody knows anything about his time in the NWA and wants to fill in some details, that would be helpful. Nikki311 02:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
We have an IP calling Batista's spinebuster a "Batistabuster." I have reverted it at least five times. After that many times, is it appropiate to mark another edit of the same nature by that user as vandalism? Gavyn Sykes 19:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
In the WWE article it says Cena has to surrender the WWE title, and WILL NOT compete this sunday, so does that mean the WWE title is currently vacant???-- TrUcO9311 20:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
He's still champ. WWE.COM still recognizes him as champ. Raw Superstars page WWE Championship Title History
Come on folks, just look at the home page. "WWE Title vacant" "Mr. McMahon vacated Cena's WWE Title on ECW on Sci Fi" It's vacant. Mshake3 03:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I was adding some references to this page today, but I can't figure out what's wrong with one of the footnotes. Would someone be able to look at reference #3 and tell me what I've done wrong? Thanks.
Incidentally, I hit 2,000 edits today. Hooray me. GaryColemanFan 01:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
User:TJ Spyke/PPV Win Percent I created this subarticle awhile ago after months of working. It's an article featuring the PPV Win percentage of every wrestler with at least 10 PPV matches (the same way most statistics have minimum requirements). Does anybody have any ideas on how to turn it into a full article or would be willing to help? I have the info saved on my computer, but think it could make a good article. TJ Spyke 01:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Does this need its own article? It doesn't give any family history other than listing the family members involved in wrestling and a sentence or so about each. All of the people listed have their own articles and this unsourced stub doesn't seem to add anything. GaryColemanFan 05:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I have a few questions about the COTW Candidates for next week:
Thoughts? (sorry if I haven't explained that properly.) Davnel03 15:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hybrid, why did you think Lawler wouldn't pass ONS? The article is barely a stub, I think it needs more help than ONS Lex94 10:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Over the past two weeks several users of this project have been working on PPV articles as follows:
Right, I'm about to propose something, might get rejected might not. Instead of working on these articles individually (others can still do that if they wish), I wondered if we could work on these articles together, one per week maybe, similar to the COTW. I was thinking if we use a similar format to the COTW, possibly create a new section on that page named "PPV's". A user can then nominate a PPV that needs severe work to it (WrestleManias, SS, Slam, TNA etc.) and then the one with the most votes we work on. Same can happen with the In Your House PPV's, but might be harder work and will need a new page created. Opinions? Davnel03 17:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
We could just make a task force for PPV articles. It would be like a smaller WikiProject, only it is a subdivision of this one. For an example of what I'm talking about, see TF:DMC, a task force of WP:CVG. The Hyb rid 05:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I think they understand it is UNNECESARY, but it is still a good idea. Obviously, it isn't necessary, but it still gives more oppertunities for articles to be upgraded and improved. there could be the 'Wrestling Event' Collaboration of the Week (not necessarily PPV's, you can add SNME and others) and the 'People associated with Wrestling' Collaboration of the Week. Something like that. Lex94 10:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I've been doing some work on this list, trying to get it all sourced. I'm almost there, but I was hoping someone could look it over. My two biggest concerns are January 24-26, 2000 and July 9, 2000. There were quite a few changes in each of those time spans, so I'm not quite sure that I'm following correctly. I wasn't watching wrestling then (truth be told, I haven't watched in over a decade), although I imagine that I'm not the only person confused by WCW in 2000. If someone could help me with those and let me know what else would need to be done to get it to Featured List level, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. GaryColemanFan 23:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
This is a little off topic, but the Featured List reviewers really like pictures, although not having one won't keep it from becoming a FL. Does anybody know of a free-use pic (perhaps from another article) that shows the belt? Nikki311 23:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was strange that there was no article on Tony Anthony, but I guess it was deleted in June because it was unsourced and non-notable. I wrote a new article today on a subpage of my user page that includes sources, but I was hoping someone could look it over before I actually create a new article. If it will just be deleted again, I can put some more work into it. If it will be considered good enough, I'd like to post it so that people with a little more knowledge of Anthony can help out.
And, if it's good enough to post, do I just add it back to the page it was deleted from? I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and I've never created an article before (let alone one that was previously deleted). Thanks to anyone who can help.
User:GaryColemanFan/TonyAnthony
GaryColemanFan 17:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. I added some more references and I've created the article, so it's now up at Tony Anthony. I'll keep working on finding a bit about his personal life. I know that he was married at one point, but I don't know if they're still together. And I have absolutely no idea how to distinguish a free use picture from any other picture. Anyhow, your help with my first article creation is greatly appreciated. GaryColemanFan 23:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
I think we should create an article for the Punjabi Prison Match, it is a unique match that is not similar to any other in TNA or WWE. It should have a seperate, such as the Elimination Chamber and Hell In a Cell becasue of its uniique nature, anyone agree or disagree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truco9311 ( talk • contribs)
Ugh. The steel cage match article is terrible. It needs some definite attention, sourcing, and cleaning up. Nikki311 23:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Well in accordance with the proposed guideline that just kinda fizzled out I just want to notify the members of this project that once the Fabulous Kangaroos becomes a GA my next article up for nomination will be Al Costello, it's already been worked over by Naha who's been giving me some great feedback - but it can always stand another pair of eyes or 3 before I nominate it so if anyone feels like having a look I'd appriciate it.

Can someone with some knowledge of this sport take a look at The Smokin' Gunns? I can't tell if it would make sense to an expert but as an outsider I find it not entirely clear. RJFJR 20:31, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed people adding dates for WWE PPV's after WrestleMania XXIV, but none of them have provided any sources. Should we remove them right now, or put citation needed tags up and give them a few days to provide sources? TJ Spyke 03:50, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, so there seems to be some debate on whether the next WM is going to be titled "WrestleMania 24" or "WrestleMania XXIV." 3bulletproof16 has uploaded Image:WrestleMania24logoNEW.JPG, using the source of "wwe.com", but does not point to the full URL where the image is actually located. He has also redirected "WrestleMania 24" to "WrestleMania XXIV."
Doing a search of both wwe.com and corporate.wwe.com for "WrestleMania XXIV" or just "XXIV" yields zero results for both articles and images. However, doing a search for "WrestleMania 24" on WWE.com yields 3 pages of results. In addition, page 5 of the latest issue of WWE Magazine, the "2007 Fall Preview" Special Issue Sept/Oct 2007 (which I have in my posession and incidently has a fairly interesting interview with CM Punk) has a full page advertisement for "WrestleMania 24" using this WrestleMania 24 logo (as opposed to a "XXIV logo"). Furthermore, www.orlandocentroplex.com (the location of WrestleMania 24), also uses this picture.
Ok and as I was typing this, my husband walked in after just checking the mail and plopped down an ever newer edition of WWE Magazine on my desk (November 2007 w/ Undertaker on the cover) and on page 25, it again uses the "24 logo."
Whether or not WWE plans to change to using a "XXIV logo", I have no idea, it may very well happen, but right now I can't find any proof that the "XXIV logo" is legit and actually from WWE. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, or in the correct places, I don't know. If someone can show proof that WWE has switched to the roman numeral logo, that would be great. Thanks, -- Naha| (talk) 18:43, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
So it's the same thing, an on sale promotion date. Still, the TV Commercial was made more recently, so I have to side with that. In fact, I'd bet that next month's magazine will have the same ad with the new logo. Mshake3 05:31, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
I question the value of having these articles at all. Particularly the second, it is fraught with problems, not the least of which is adequate citations to show what titles were "world" titles when, having the table accurately depicting only those champions from the time periods in question and not others (although the reverse also seems an issue, that champions have been removed wholesale because the titles in question are either not now or were not at some point counted), and most troubling is that it (both of them, actually) directly contradict another article, that being World Heavyweight Championship, which currently states the following
" NWA World Heavyweight Championship (1948-1991 / 2002-2007) - claims lineage of George Hackenschmidt's 1905 and Frank Gotch's 1908 version, defended in multiple territories and promotions since 1948, used in Total Nonstop Action Wrestling from June 2002 to May 2007. Although it was stripped of its World Title status by PWI in 1991, with the recent success of TNA, PWI restored its World Title status officially in its August 2006 issue since it began being used in TNA in 2002. Shortly after NWA and TNA severed ties, NWA was quietly stripped of its World Title status, while TNA retained theirs. "
Yet Adam Pearce is listed in both the above mentioned articles. This quite obviously can't all be true.
And yes, I think it's a load of mularkey that what one magazine (which has rarely if ever paid attention to smaller companies - their Match of the Year for 2006 was Shawn Michaels vs. Vince McMahon for chrissakes), time-honored and well-respected though it may be, says on the issue is treated like Gospel, but as I hope I've shown that's really beside the point. These articles have issues, issues that need dealing with, and in my mind (though I doubt anyone would agree with me on this) something this synthetic doesn't cry out for an article to begin with.
And then there's PWI's list of wrestling World Tag Team Title reigns, but World Tag Team Championship makes only three passing mentions of PWI, not like World Heavyweight Championship, the pro wrestling section of which makes it clear what its definition of "World Heavyweight Championship" is (despite, again, that being contradicted in PWI's list of wrestling World Heavyweight Title reigns and PWI's list of wrestling World Heavyweight Title reigns by length)
I think I'm rambling, and my points have probably been made somewhere in there. Cheers to anyone who read through all that :) Nosleep1234 15:24, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
That was really just an off-the-cuff remark. Care to address any of the other issues? I'm not saying we should include every fed that calls their belt a world title, I'm saying it's pointless to have these articles at all, considering that what they document is so subjective and synthetic. Nosleep1234 01:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

As I did with December to Dismember (2006) a few weeks ago, I have now moved One Night Stand 2005 into the mainspace, which I have been worknig on in my sandbox for several days. Feel free to have a look at it. I will probably put it up for peer review within the next week. Davnel03 14:13, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Just for the record, I checked the first three citations for WrestleView, and all three of them came directly from PWInsider. And that site is blacklisted, while this one isn't? Mshake3 18:05, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
You all do realize that there are a grand total of zero references in it's current state, right? And we have to wait until ALL the PPVs in the series are fully writen before spliting them off? Bullshit. If an article is well written and correctly sourced, it should be allowed in the encyclopedia, end of story. Mshake3 19:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
(after 4 edit conflicts) Look folks, if information regarding a pay-per-view can be discussed in enough detail to warrant its own article space, and if it can be appropriately sourced, whether or not it is considered a "big" PPV has no bearing on it getting its own article. Its more than notable enough. The only problem with this ONS article is that its sources are questionable. When that is fixed it should return to the main space. There is no reason for waiting for all ONS articles to be completed before this one has its own article. That is completely rediculous. -- Naha| (talk) 19:06, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
If anyone cares, I'm working on the same thing for Lockdown (2007) on my Sandbox. Why this event? As I was actually at it ringside, I could encorporate many of the photos I've taken and make it one heck of an article. And if that works, I can also apply it to WrestleMania X8 and WrestleMania XIX. Mshake3 19:33, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Just a heads up that I'm heading offline for the night now, so can somebody try and keep an eye at One Night Stand (2006) in case somebody tries to remove the underconstruction tag at the top of the page. If anyone can improve the article while I'm offline, please do. That'll be great. Night all. Davnel03 19:52, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I've just come across this. Quote from article:
I'm guessing that a vandal inserted that in, but the fact that its got through to other websites, and the fact that we are credited as a source was beyond me. It seems to suggest that the event place has not been announced yet. What is our stance on this? Davnel03 08:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
What is the protocol on articles about wrestling toys/action figures? I'm only asking because I came across WWF Hasbro Action Figures. Is this worth cleaning up and keeping or should I prod it? Are there other lists of toys/action figures currently, because I don't think I've come across any up until this point. Nikki311 17:18, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
They are both notable enough to keep and have the potential to begood articles at some point. I haven't played RAW deal but have read about it several times in various places. I am, however, a budding action figure collector lol. Believe it or not, Hasbro and Jakks Pacific have a lot of history with and the evolution of their products and that type of information could make a good article. The figures are fairly regularly featured in a couple toy collecting magazines I've read in the past. Although they are mostly about Jakks figures these days as opposed to Hasbro, because that is who is currently producing WWE and TNA figures. WWE actually either currently has or recently had a lawsuit with Jakks Pacific over something or other. -- Naha| (talk) 00:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
The message below was left on my talkpage, and thought it would be interesting to bring it here:

I dont kknow if anyone else saw it but, WWE has confimed the chris jericho return, in a weird way.

P.S. Before you read what they have wrote, scroll down to the video box and watch the video from last night and then read it what they wrote

There seems to be a grammatical disagreement in several articles. Another editor and I are disagreeing on how Shawn Michaels move should be mentioned in PPV results. He thinks it should be listed by itself (i.e. "Michaels pinned Austin after Sweet Chin Music"). I have told him that doesn't sound right to me and should have something listed in front (i.e. "Michaels pinned Kane after a Sweet Chin Music" or "Michaels pinned Hart after the Sweet Chin Music"). What do others think? This issue has been on and off for a few months, never anything serious but it should be settled once and for all. TJ Spyke 22:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
The reason why I change it to having nothing in front of it is because music is a collective noun and does not need an "A" in front of. Just basic grammar. Plus no other sites have "A" in front of it. TheHeartbreakKid15 20:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment: as a wrestling move Sweet Chin Music may validly have an article—either definite or indefinite—placed before it; however, as a capitalised proper noun, it is easily recognisable as a move—distinguishable from adjectival sweet chin music—and, as such, does not require either the or a. Therefore, my suggestion is that both forms are acceptable and that changes should not be made to the initial occurrence (as with policy governing use of American and British English), although, in contrast to that policy, consistency within the page is not required, i.e. just because the first Sweet Chin Music appearing on a page had the in front of it, it does not mean that all occurrences on that page require the too.
Whatever the ultimate concensus is—and whether it requires a simple discussion here, conversations with the mediation cabal, or a formal dispute resolution—please wait until that concensus has been reached before continuing in your petty edit war. ObfuscatePenguin 00:55, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
I've never heard it referred to as anything other than simply "Sweet Chin Music." What's more, "the Sweet Chin Music" sound absolutely horrible. "A Sweet Chin Music" is not much better. Koberulz 15:33, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
There appears to be a lot of discrepancies and questionable information on Antonino Rocca's article.

Just letting you guys know that due to recent vandalism stemming from the promo on RAW, the Jericho article has been fully-protected, and the talkpage has been semi-protected. Davnel03 19:33, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
It's that wonderful time of year again...the Diva Search and everything that comes along with it. As expected, a couple of the contestants have had pages pop up.

I've also recently come across this new article: Federation Years (WWE). Should it be merged into History of World Wrestling Entertainment and/or 1980s wrestling boom? I think it should...there's a lot or redundancy. Thoughts? Nikki311 17:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Does anybody else have an opinion on this. Should I suggest a merge? AfD? I'm not sure how to handle this one. Nikki311 01:08, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

This picture has to violate some sort of Wikipedia rule. It's about 10 times larger than any other picture I've seen on Wikipedia, and a non-wrestling fan might have trouble figuring out which one is Arcidi. Is it possible to crop the picture or is it an all-or-nothing deal? GaryColemanFan 06:05, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
The wrestlers are confirmed: but has it been confirmed they will appear on those brands in the game? If not, the roster should be changed back to just a general listing (until the game comes out). Just because someone is on a certain brand for WWE now, doesn't completely mean he or she will be on that brand when the game actually comes out. The game comes out in a little over a month, but that doesn't justify original research in the article. I posted this on the talk page of the article as well, to get a few more opinions on this.

On the Botch (professional wrestling) page, Sean Waltman's win over Razor Ramon is listed as a "botch". Someone at least put a "citation needed" tag on it, but it's been that way for a week now. When is it okay for me to delete the paragraph, when the poster hasn't found any source whatsoever besides a vague statement of "it was all over the national news when it happened", which I seriously doubt? Phoenix 19:53, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
A move seems to have been made unilaterally on this (I can find no discussion). I don't necessarily disagree, but I thought I'd bring it up. Kidman won the cruiserweight title four times in WWF/E - the first two were "WCW" cruiserweight titles during the Invasion, then a "WWF" cruiserweight title during the few months the belt was known by that name, then a "WWE" cruiserweight title a year or so later. Previously, his article tried (somewhat vainly) to differentiate all of these, but now it just says "Cruiserweight Championship (4 times)" with no promotion name given. Does this work for everybody?

Do you approve for it to be put in the articles?-- TrUcO9311 21:07, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok, the tweaks have been made.-- TrUcO9311 22:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
I think we're going table crazy where prose and standard lists will do fine. Someone added tables for authority figures on the WWE brands.«» bd( talk stalk) 00:41, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
OK NOW ALL WWE TV SHOWS HAVE A TABLE, FEEL FREE TO REMOVE SEGMENTS, as TJ SPYKE DID, THAT YOU FEEL DONT BELONG, CORRECT WORDING, YEARS, HOST, SEGMENT, SEGMENT TYPE, OR ADDING SOURCES. THANK YOU :)-- TrUcO9311 00:47, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Personally, I think that tables improve readability. Of course the entire article can't be tables, but I think that we should even use them more often. *Sigh* if only I could write them :P The Hyb rid 06:50, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Inspired by Davnel03, I have expanded the article on my favorite pay per view. I have placed it up for peer review, so it would be great if some people from here could check it over and comment here. If possible, I'd love to see it reach Good Article status. Thanks for any help you can provide. GaryColemanFan 22:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
An IP recently inserted a "Other on-screen talent" section into the One Night Stand (2005) article, see here. Now, I can understand why they are in the WrestleMania, SS, SummerSlam and Rumble articles because they aren't as detailed, but do they need to be in the articles which now have a full reivew (ONS '06, D2D, SS '93)?

An anonymous user has been changing the birth years for various wrestlers without citing sources, see Special:Contributions/84.43.0.85. I'm not sure how widespread this is, but thought someone associated with this project might want to look into this. I'm pretty sure Curt Hennig was born in 1958 not 1959, and 1960 as the birth year for Road Warrior Hawk looks improbable (one source says 1957). -- Rick Block ( talk) 17:30, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Enhanceddownloadbird has nominated Dave Bautista for GA. The article is a lot better than what is was when it was last nominated but I still think it has a fairly long way to go. Also it is constantly vandalised by IPs. Moves like this (nominating articles on the fly) gives the project a bad reputation, despite the efforts of its members to improve the credibility of the wrestling project by discussing GA nominations beforehand and recently wanting to revive the collaboration of the week. - Deep Shadow 04:03, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
My mistake. I'm sorry I give the project a bad reputation. I was trying to Be Bold. I view your comment as an attack on my person.
I'm sorry I'm not informed of procedures, but I requested this article be re-reviewed on it's talk page to no reply for some time. Unsure of where to go, I went to the top. Believe it or not, not all editors of wrestling articles know the procedures of WP:PW, as opposed to Wikipedia policies that are well posted. I have been an editor of several articles within WP:PW for quite some time, and never have I heard of this policy.
I'll take this as a learning experience and won't do it again now that I know, but I still resent the manner in which you brought the topic up. Why didn't you message me? Why did it take someone that hadn't even posted on this topic informing me of both policy and that my action had been brought up in WP:PW? This is my initial frustration (and continual distance) towards the project. Enhanceddownloadbird 18:16, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Indeed. I know others who are in the same boat as this and seem to fail to be able to work with WP:PW, and I wish that this could be fixed. I do hope to fix the distance issue between myself and the project, as I need others to successfully collaborate on Wikipedia. And while I realize the comment was not meant to be a personal attack, putting 2 ( Enhanceddownloadbird has nominated Dave Bautista for GA.) and 2 (Moves like this...gives the project a bad reputation) together does not make it a very happy 4. And I am still quite upset that no one in this conversation informed me personally of my project policy violation, instead it took Nikki to inform me. It would have been preferable for Deep Shadow to talk to me first before making it public. Enhanceddownloadbird 19:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Why is there a Save Us 22 article???>>> Saveus.222 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Truco9311 ( talk • contribs) 14:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
There is an IP that keeps adding possibly libelous info to Martha Hart's article lately. I reverted a couple of times yesterday and posted a warning in both my edit summaries and on their talk page about WP:BLP. Anyway, they keep posting information about her religious affiliations and that she had affairs on Owen Hart without providing a source to back up the info. Can some other people keep an eye on the page for me, because I have a really busy week and can't spend all my time possibly violating WP:3RR. Thanks. Nikki311 16:35, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Discussion here. Davnel03 20:32, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Are we ever going to try and resurrect this page. I wouldn't mind giving it one last stab, but I need the assurance of other members to do that. Thanks, Davnel03 14:16, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
I have an idea on how to turn this into a program that will greatly increase the credibility of the project. Every month, or maybe two months, we select the article from one of this project's GAs. That way we are all but guaranteed to pump out an FA at a relatively constant rate. If we could turn this project into one that is constant producing featured articles, then perhaps the outside community would look upon it a little more favorably than they do now. What do y'all think? The Hyb rid 03:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, this seems fairly unanimous. So, I'll see what needs to be done to fire it up, and starting tomorrow the drive will begin with Pedro Morales. Cheers, The Hyb rid 04:05, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I've cleaned up the page, and will now add the template to Pedro's talk page. Now we need nominations. I suggest that every week we post a thread on the project talk page to prevent this from becoming inactive again. We might even request that a bot deliver a notification to all project members weekly. Peace, The Hyb rid 04:29, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello! The
Pro Wrestling Collaboration of the Week for November 25 - December 2 is ??. Please help to improve it to match the quality of an
ideal Wikipedia
professional wrestling related article. The next article for collaboration will be chosen on Sunday, November 11.

Well, I just exhausted my usual sources for the article. It's come along way, but still needs some filling in. If anybody knows anything about his time in the NWA and wants to fill in some details, that would be helpful. Nikki311 02:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
We have an IP calling Batista's spinebuster a "Batistabuster." I have reverted it at least five times. After that many times, is it appropiate to mark another edit of the same nature by that user as vandalism? Gavyn Sykes 19:38, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
In the WWE article it says Cena has to surrender the WWE title, and WILL NOT compete this sunday, so does that mean the WWE title is currently vacant???-- TrUcO9311 20:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
He's still champ. WWE.COM still recognizes him as champ. Raw Superstars page WWE Championship Title History
Come on folks, just look at the home page. "WWE Title vacant" "Mr. McMahon vacated Cena's WWE Title on ECW on Sci Fi" It's vacant. Mshake3 03:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I was adding some references to this page today, but I can't figure out what's wrong with one of the footnotes. Would someone be able to look at reference #3 and tell me what I've done wrong? Thanks.
Incidentally, I hit 2,000 edits today. Hooray me. GaryColemanFan 01:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
User:TJ Spyke/PPV Win Percent I created this subarticle awhile ago after months of working. It's an article featuring the PPV Win percentage of every wrestler with at least 10 PPV matches (the same way most statistics have minimum requirements). Does anybody have any ideas on how to turn it into a full article or would be willing to help? I have the info saved on my computer, but think it could make a good article. TJ Spyke 01:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Does this need its own article? It doesn't give any family history other than listing the family members involved in wrestling and a sentence or so about each. All of the people listed have their own articles and this unsourced stub doesn't seem to add anything. GaryColemanFan 05:33, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
I have a few questions about the COTW Candidates for next week:
Thoughts? (sorry if I haven't explained that properly.) Davnel03 15:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Hybrid, why did you think Lawler wouldn't pass ONS? The article is barely a stub, I think it needs more help than ONS Lex94 10:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Over the past two weeks several users of this project have been working on PPV articles as follows:
Right, I'm about to propose something, might get rejected might not. Instead of working on these articles individually (others can still do that if they wish), I wondered if we could work on these articles together, one per week maybe, similar to the COTW. I was thinking if we use a similar format to the COTW, possibly create a new section on that page named "PPV's". A user can then nominate a PPV that needs severe work to it (WrestleManias, SS, Slam, TNA etc.) and then the one with the most votes we work on. Same can happen with the In Your House PPV's, but might be harder work and will need a new page created. Opinions? Davnel03 17:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
We could just make a task force for PPV articles. It would be like a smaller WikiProject, only it is a subdivision of this one. For an example of what I'm talking about, see TF:DMC, a task force of WP:CVG. The Hyb rid 05:06, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I think they understand it is UNNECESARY, but it is still a good idea. Obviously, it isn't necessary, but it still gives more oppertunities for articles to be upgraded and improved. there could be the 'Wrestling Event' Collaboration of the Week (not necessarily PPV's, you can add SNME and others) and the 'People associated with Wrestling' Collaboration of the Week. Something like that. Lex94 10:23, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
I've been doing some work on this list, trying to get it all sourced. I'm almost there, but I was hoping someone could look it over. My two biggest concerns are January 24-26, 2000 and July 9, 2000. There were quite a few changes in each of those time spans, so I'm not quite sure that I'm following correctly. I wasn't watching wrestling then (truth be told, I haven't watched in over a decade), although I imagine that I'm not the only person confused by WCW in 2000. If someone could help me with those and let me know what else would need to be done to get it to Featured List level, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks. GaryColemanFan 23:09, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
This is a little off topic, but the Featured List reviewers really like pictures, although not having one won't keep it from becoming a FL. Does anybody know of a free-use pic (perhaps from another article) that shows the belt? Nikki311 23:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
