Well I will begin doing my first PPV article! I am going to start with WCW Sin, anyone can contribute to the article.-- TrUcO9311 16:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, the nominees just went back to 8 so there was room to add her to the COTW page and I did. See what I said above. GetDumb 00:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
How do you add a reference to the same link, like if two important things are sourced in one link (reference), how would you put those two things to be referenced into the same link?-- TrUcO9311 22:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Is anyone currently working on this article? This PPV is one of only three I've actually seen myself. I am willing to expand the article as much as possible, though I will need help adding sources later. I've gone ahead and added the main Smackdown feud. I can expand it to include the rest of the feuds within the next couple of days. Gavyn Sykes 23:20, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I know. I'm not new here. Anyway, I'll have more content in the article within a few days. The only thing is, I can't recall the exact dates that buildup episodes aired on. But yeah, I'll be bold. Gavyn Sykes 01:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
We've already tackled the world of Featured Articles, so why not Features Pictures? This is my first attempt, so we'll see how this goes. Mshake3 02:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, per the discussion here, I decided that WP:PW needs a color scheme update. Actually I decided this a long time ago and just didn't do anything about it till now. Professional wrestling is outlandish and colorful and exciting and bigger than life ..and well, the drab grey color scheme we had going didn't exactly match that description. My original plan was to change everything to golden type colors to resemble that of a title belt. This color scheme can be seen here (except for the nav bar b/c it is subst :( ). I gave notice about what I was trying to do in all my edit summaries during the color updates. However, User:Aaru Bui came along and updated the color scheme right behind me a bit which can be seen here (no fair this one gets the nav bar colors for the full effect! :P) While the colors Aaru chose probably more closely resemble title belt gold, which again is what I was originally going for, they still seem a bit dingy and drab in my opinion. While the ones I originally changed them to were more vibrant. I wont be offended if you think my color scheme sucks :P ... but since at least 2 of us have a differing opinion, I'd like to get everyone's preferred choice so at least the majority of people will be happy with it heh. Does anyone have any opinions on this matter? Thanks, -- Naha| (talk) 06:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Do something about the to-do list. It's an eyesore. :) The Chronic 07:14, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I think it needed a color scheme, so great job. Speaking of colors, I need some help on something. I have been editing my user page and subpages giving them color schemes, and when I try Brown it doesn't work :( (Some pinkish plum color appears). Can someone tell me how to do brown, cuz its my favorite color. Cheers, Feed back 16:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure where, but I think that we should fit Maroon (#800000) in here somewhere. It seems like a good color for pro-wrestling to me, possibly because of RAW's slightly darker-than-red shade of red, as well as TNA's. IDK, it might help to add some contrast to the brightness. Cheers, The Hybrid T/ C 00:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
The headline speaks for itself. GimmeBot has not yet updated the templates and stuff, but the nomination has been moved to the FA log page. See this discussion on Raul654's talkpage too. Many, many thanks to those who helped me with the article, Aaru, TJ, GCF, Naha thanks all of you for helping to get the article to featured article level! Thank you! Davnel03 12:15, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Did we agree to remove these from the articles? My understanding was that there was no consensus reached. They're being deleted on quite a few articles, though. I'll agree that they can clutter up articles, and a lot of awards could be written into the article if they're considered noteworthy enough (eg. mention that a feud was named Feud of the Year to highlight how big a feud it was). I think the rankings can really add to articles at times. For example, in the Bobby Eaton article, he made the list of PWI's top 100 tag teams with three different partners. I think that does a lot to show that he is a talented and flexible tag team wrestler. And I think, particularly with wrestlers who aren't considered "big names", that it can help establish notability. For example, the Tony Anthony article was deleted at one point. I think, though, that mentioning that he was ranked #25 in the world in 1994 does help establish notability. Anyhow, can someone explain whether or not a consensus was reached, because it doesn't look like it was to me. Thanks. GaryColemanFan 16:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Any other input here? I have a feeling that this is just going to get archived before consensus is reached again. -- Naha| (talk) 01:53, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I have just realized how few High-importance articles there are in this project. Another thing I have realized is that of our 3 Featured Articles, none are of high-importance (even though I think CM Punk should be a High-Importance article).
I think we should concentrate on making these 4 articles into FAs, so we can have high-importance featured articles. Feed back 03:53, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Per this, it looks like Burntsauce will be banned as a meatpuppet of JB196. While BS had been leaving wrestling articles alone as of late, this ban will probably result in sockpuppet accounts being used by him. This will likely result in his return to our neck of the woods. Everyone should be on the lookout for their signature page blanks/article slashings, and incivility. File CheckUsers to establish whether the account is a sockpuppet of one member of the pair, as WP:SSP will probably be useless in dealing with them. Peace, The Hybrid T/ C 06:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I've been following this drama for the last couple of days. All the reports and things are very interesting reads. In any event, I'll be on the lookout for socks. Nikki311 17:42, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't get it though, if he actually was JB196, then who kept giving him tips about pages without sources? Was it simply him trying to fool us? -- Scorpion 0422 16:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I remember ages ago I accused Burntsauce of being a sockpuppet and no one believed me! Now this!! heh. Makes me laugh. Govvy 19:41, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
I was wondering if anyone with knowledge of formatting could look at the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship article. Is there a way to move the table of contents box up to get rid of some of that blank space? Thanks. GaryColemanFan 14:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Best cheers go to Nikki311 and Deep Shadow for the article. I read the article, found it was perfect and nominated it and for some reason Nikki311 was against me nominating it, yet DS was all for it. Well, Nikki, you did a great job on the article and now it's an FA, so you don't have to be modest about it. Cheers, Feed back 00:43, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
Please look at this. We're gonna have to be on the watchout for new IP's creating wrestling pages. I believe this will be enabled in the middle of this month according to a thread at AN. Davnel03 19:09, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I just need an extra set of eyes or two on the Shad Gaspard article. Gaspard himself has decided to include as much detail about himself as he possibly can, breaking links and disrupting cites as he goes.«» bd( talk stalk) 19:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Let him call himself the real Shad Gaspard, whether it's true or not. It only makes things easier for us, since it's a conflict of interest to edit an article in which you are the subject. - Deep Shadow 05:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
These pictures (there were two) were definitely not photoshopped. I work with photoshop on almost a daily basis, there is no way this is photoshopped, unless Shad is an expert on making Sharpie marker (extra lines and all) backwards in a mirror (like in one of the two pics) look real, which I doubt. It's really Shad. Bmg916 Speak 19:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Since you happen to have contact with Shad, do you think it would be possible to get a better photo from him for his Wikipedia article? Nothing fancy, and obviously not a copyrighted WWE promo photo or something ..he'd have to take one and relase the rights to it for us. Is this even appropriate? I don't know much at all about the COI stuff. -- Naha| (talk) 01:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Others are sick of this, I am sick of this. Maestro has decided to once again go and remove the dash from the "Fatal Four-Way" at WWE No Mercy. This is at least the third time we've been through this in the last few months, and he put it back in even after I told him that the consenus (not much since not that many people commented) was to just use whatever the article used. The article originally used the dash. Any suggestions on how to end this? I am personally sick of dealing with him on this issue since it will be dealt with and then he will start it up again a few months later. TJ Spyke 22:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello! First post here, anywhoo, I created Austin Creed awhile back and I see the articles become quite nice looking and I'd like to thank whoevers been working on it for buffing it up during my mishap-related absence. I've been scouring the internet for any information I could find, but only came upon his MySpace and NWA Wildside page. I contacted Mr. Creed himself and he was happy to see the article and he gave me permission to use the picture which is on the article currently. If you have any questions, feel free to add and ask him, he's a nice guy. But back on topic, thank you for the notable progress on the article, it looks great.
P.S. One thing does come to mind. He has the same notability as Jamie Szantyr, a.k.a. Talia Madison. Austin and Talia were both in minor feds before going to TNA, and they both recently signed with TNA. But whenever someone creates an article for Talia, it gets deleted due to lack of notability. Well then, why doesnt the Austin Creed article get hit with the same? He has exactly the same notability. I am seriously starting to wonder if anyone has any clue what they're talking about anymore because if one article has the same notability as another, yet survives deletion, somethings wrong.

User:Crazy4metallica has been editing all the WWE performer's articles to include the following template:
Personally, I like it and think it's a fine idea, but I don't ever recall a consensus (or even a mention) for it's creation or institution. Commments? Gavyn Sykes 03:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Sports athletes tend to have a template of all their current teammates, so this isn't out of the norm. Mshake3 04:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sold on the current layout. Could "Inactive Extreme Championship Wrestling Superstars" be shortened to "Inactive ECW Superstars"? There's a lot of empty blue space in the left column right now, and the right side of the template gets cut off on the right on some screen sizes). "Friday Night SmackDown!" is shortened to "SmackDown!" for its inactive list, so it would remain somewhat consistent. I'm fine either way, though...I rarely visit a current wrestler's page unless it's a collaboration or someone has requested help or copyediting. GaryColemanFan 20:57, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

After reading the Hennigan article I noticed it not once made mention to the John Morrison character connection to Jim Morrison. After discussing it with Bmg916 it was decided that there exists no direct reliable source that states the connection between John's gimmick and Jim Morrison, which near as I can tell seems to actually be true. While everyone on the planet knows that the gimmick is an homage to Jim, from look to personality to phrases, I could not locate a reliable source for it to add it to the article so I decided to come here to see if anyone could find a reliable source that listed the connection. It's a glaring omission that needs rectifying. –– Lid( Talk) 14:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I've finished my major rewrite of this article, and put it into the mainspace. Before I request a wider-scale peer review, I think it might be helpful if some WP:PW folks took a look at it first. One way or another, it needs more than just my eyes on it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Tromboneguy0186 21:40, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Is it of great importance that claims be phrased "out of universe," such as "they were booked to drop the tag team title to CM Punk & Colt Cabana" and not "they lost the tag team title to CM Punk & Colt Cabana?" Seems to me that that would provide a pretty dry and uninteresting tone, especially as some claims (like the PWG no-shows; possibly that entire section) are necessarily "out of universe." Tromboneguy0186 17:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
I've done a lot of changes to the article and I was wondering if it looks good the way it is now. If some of you can take a look it'd be great. Also I'm not really sure how to request a peer review so if someone could do that instead of me it'd be awesome. 80.80.140.50 22:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Good start. Try to find some sources aside from OWW, and though they aren't required I find cite templates are helpful in organizing your references. I went ahead and added them to the article (particularly as the way the references were inserted before left one link absent from the references section). Tromboneguy0186 20:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the cite templates because I wasn't sure how to do that. I'll add more sources to the article these days. The problem is that there are only a few sources I can find for Nidia. Also I wanted to ask if it's OK to use OWW as a source for all the weekly results? 80.80.140.50 23:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Giving up on the Divas isn't something they would just decide overnight. Given that, and the fact that WWE just finished with their latest Diva Search, I seriously doubt they are doing away with them.

A user started this conversation on the Montreal Screwjob talkpage, basically stating that the article should not be a FA. The user in question Albatross2147 has since left a comment on Excalibur's talkpage, see here. It seems like the two are engaging in some sort of "crusade" to delist Montreal Screwjob and the Bobby Eaton article. I think we should keep a watch, seems like they are planning to attempt to delist them. Davnel03 12:50, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
If it is still an issue, call them on the floor, listing diffs to prove that they dislike the subject matter, and have nothing to say about the actual quality of the article.

I have a question...I know that someone can withdraw their own nomination, but as a WikiProject can we decide that the article being nominated is against the consensus and remove it even though we didn't nominate it? We could renominate it as soon as all the concerns are addressed. Nikki311 04:16, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok, per the discussion here, I decided that WP:PW needs a color scheme update. Actually I decided this a long time ago and just didn't do anything about it till now. Professional wrestling is outlandish and colorful and exciting and bigger than life ..and well, the drab grey color scheme we had going didn't exactly match that description. My original plan was to change everything to golden type colors to resemble that of a title belt. This color scheme can be seen here (except for the nav bar b/c it is subst :( ). I gave notice about what I was trying to do in all my edit summaries during the color updates. However, User:Aaru Bui came along and updated the color scheme right behind me a bit which can be seen here (no fair this one gets the nav bar colors for the full effect! :P) While the colors Aaru chose probably more closely resemble title belt gold, which again is what I was originally going for, they still seem a bit dingy and drab in my opinion. While the ones I originally changed them to were more vibrant. I wont be offended if you think my color scheme sucks :P ... but since at least 2 of us have a differing opinion, I'd like to get everyone's preferred choice so at least the majority of people will be happy with it heh. Does anyone have any opinions on this matter? Thanks, -- Naha| (talk) 06:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it needed a color scheme, so great job. Speaking of colors, I need some help on something. I have been editing my user page and subpages giving them color schemes, and when I try Brown it doesn't work :( (Some pinkish plum color appears). Can someone tell me how to do brown, cuz its my favorite color. Cheers, Feed back 16:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure where, but I think that we should fit Maroon (#800000) in here somewhere. It seems like a good color for pro-wrestling to me, possibly because of RAW's slightly darker-than-red shade of red, as well as TNA's. IDK, it might help to add some contrast to the brightness. Cheers, The Hybrid T/ C 00:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
The headline speaks for itself. GimmeBot has not yet updated the templates and stuff, but the nomination has been moved to the FA log page. See this discussion on Raul654's talkpage too.

Did we agree to remove these from the articles? My understanding was that there was no consensus reached. They're being deleted on quite a few articles, though. I'll agree that they can clutter up articles, and a lot of awards could be written into the article if they're considered noteworthy enough (eg. mention that a feud was named Feud of the Year to highlight how big a feud it was). I think the rankings can really add to articles at times. For example, in the Bobby Eaton article, he made the list of PWI's top 100 tag teams with three different partners. I think that does a lot to show that he is a talented and flexible tag team wrestler. And I think, particularly with wrestlers who aren't considered "big names", that it can help establish notability. For example, the Tony Anthony article was deleted at one point. I think, though, that mentioning that he was ranked #25 in the world in 1994 does help establish notability. Anyhow, can someone explain whether or not a consensus was reached, because it doesn't look like it was to me. Thanks. GaryColemanFan 16:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I have just realized how few High-importance articles there are in this project. Another thing I have realized is that of our 3 Featured Articles, none are of high-importance (even though I think CM Punk should be a High-Importance article).

Per this, it looks like Burntsauce will be banned as a meatpuppet of JB196. While BS had been leaving wrestling articles alone as of late, this ban will probably result in sockpuppet accounts being used by him. This will likely result in his return to our neck of the woods. Everyone should be on the lookout for their signature page blanks/article slashings, and incivility. File CheckUsers to establish whether the account is a sockpuppet of one member of the pair, as WP:SSP will probably be useless in dealing with them.

I just need an extra set of eyes or two on the Shad Gaspard article. Gaspard himself has decided to include as much detail about himself as he possibly can, breaking links and disrupting cites as he goes.«» bd( talk stalk) 19:23, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Let him call himself the real Shad Gaspard, whether it's true or not. It only makes things easier for us, since it's a conflict of interest to edit an article in which you are the subject. - Deep Shadow 05:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
These pictures (there were two) were definitely not photoshopped. I work with photoshop on almost a daily basis, there is no way this is photoshopped, unless Shad is an expert on making Sharpie marker (extra lines and all) backwards in a mirror (like in one of the two pics) look real, which I doubt. It's really Shad. Bmg916 Speak 19:46, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Since you happen to have contact with Shad, do you think it would be possible to get a better photo from him for his Wikipedia article? Nothing fancy, and obviously not a copyrighted WWE promo photo or something ..he'd have to take one and relase the rights to it for us. Is this even appropriate? I don't know much at all about the COI stuff. -- Naha| (talk) 01:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Others are sick of this, I am sick of this. Maestro has decided to once again go and remove the dash from the "Fatal Four-Way" at WWE No Mercy. This is at least the third time we've been through this in the last few months, and he put it back in even after I told him that the consenus (not much since not that many people commented) was to just use whatever the article used. The article originally used the dash. Any suggestions on how to end this?

Hello! First post here, anywhoo, I created Austin Creed awhile back and I see the articles become quite nice looking and I'd like to thank whoevers been working on it for buffing it up during my mishap-related absence. I've been scouring the internet for any information I could find, but only came upon his MySpace and NWA Wildside page. I contacted Mr. Creed himself and he was happy to see the article and he gave me permission to use the picture which is on the article currently. If you have any questions, feel free to add and ask him, he's a nice guy. But back on topic, thank you for the notable progress on the article, it looks great.
P.S. One thing does come to mind. He has the same notability as Jamie Szantyr, a.k.a. Talia Madison. Austin and Talia were both in minor feds before going to TNA, and they both recently signed with TNA. But whenever someone creates an article for Talia, it gets deleted due to lack of notability. Well then, why doesnt the Austin Creed article get hit with the same? He has exactly the same notability. I am seriously starting to wonder if anyone has any clue what they're talking about anymore because if one article has the same notability as another, yet survives deletion, somethings wrong.

Sports athletes tend to have a template of all their current teammates, so this isn't out of the norm. Mshake3 04:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sold on the current layout. Could "Inactive Extreme Championship Wrestling Superstars" be shortened to "Inactive ECW Superstars"? There's a lot of empty blue space in the left column right now, and the right side of the template gets cut off on the right on some screen sizes). "Friday Night SmackDown!" is shortened to "SmackDown!" for its inactive list, so it would remain somewhat consistent. I'm fine either way, though...I rarely visit a current wrestler's page unless it's a collaboration or someone has requested help or copyediting. GaryColemanFan 20:57, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

After reading the Hennigan article I noticed it not once made mention to the John Morrison character connection to Jim Morrison. After discussing it with Bmg916 it was decided that there exists no direct reliable source that states the connection between John's gimmick and Jim Morrison, which near as I can tell seems to actually be true. While everyone on the planet knows that the gimmick is an homage to Jim, from look to personality to phrases, I could not locate a reliable source for it to add it to the article so I decided to come here to see if anyone could find a reliable source that listed the connection. It's a glaring omission that needs rectifying. –– Lid( Talk) 14:53, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I've finished my major rewrite of this article, and put it into the mainspace. Before I request a wider-scale peer review, I think it might be helpful if some WP:PW folks took a look at it first.

Is it of great importance that claims be phrased "out of universe," such as "they were booked to drop the tag team title to CM Punk & Colt Cabana" and not "they lost the tag team title to CM Punk & Colt Cabana?" Seems to me that that would provide a pretty dry and uninteresting tone, especially as some claims (like the PWG no-shows; possibly that entire section) are necessarily "out of universe." Tromboneguy0186 17:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
I've done a lot of changes to the article and I was wondering if it looks good the way it is now. If some of you can take a look it'd be great. Also I'm not really sure how to request a peer review so if someone could do that instead of me it'd be awesome. 80.80.140.50 22:52, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Good start. Try to find some sources aside from OWW, and though they aren't required I find cite templates are helpful in organizing your references. I went ahead and added them to the article (particularly as the way the references were inserted before left one link absent from the references section). Tromboneguy0186 20:51, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the cite templates because I wasn't sure how to do that. I'll add more sources to the article these days. The problem is that there are only a few sources I can find for Nidia.
