Many guys in this project see InDemand as a reliable source. A lot of people disagree with that. I think, we need to find a consensus here, as by now, we take it as reliable for some events, and unreliable for other events (see No Way Out 08). What do you say? should we add InDemand to the reliable sources? Diivoo ( talk) 14:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I have been expanding this article over the past couple of days. I was wondering if someone would be able to do a copyedit at some point (and/or help with the two Citation Needed tags - his retirement in 1999 and his diabetes). I've been staring at the article for so long that I can't really do much with it anymore.

Do we have such an article? Is it notable to be created?-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 23:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
I've been looking through quite a few articles on older wrestlers lately. I've found it confusing when the first sentence in an article about a retired wrestler is written in the past tense. For example, " Timothy Well was a professional wrestler that was also known as Rex King." When I read that, my first impression is that he has died. I would find it much less confusing if it read, "Timothy Well is a retired professional wrestler that was also known as Rex King." Otherwise, I don't see a difference between that opening and " Scott Irwin was a professional wrestler and the brother of Bill Irwin."

An editor has been consistenly vandalizing this article by removing the bit about his rehabilition with WWE's Wellness Policy.

Keepign this on my watchlist, I noticed the user removed it again. I went to his user page to maybe leave a message regarding it and saw an interesting conversation.

New Year's Revolution (2007) has been nominated for FA-status. I'm a tad concerned about the nomination as the article is only at B-Class at the moment, and hasn't gone through GAN or nothing.

Once again, I find myself in an edit dispute with User:NickSparrow. This time, he's contending that SD's new announcer and Drew McIntyre's (sp) move to Raw don't count, so should be included.

I've been working on expanding this article, and I started with the Championships section. I have a couple of questions, though: Should the ESA International Tag Team Championship be listed?

I was wondering if anyone knows what's going on with the article statistics on the WP:PW page. As far as I know, they're updated by a bot every 3 days or so.

I was wondering, can the website be a reliable source? The only reason I ask this is because Truco made an interesting point at the Vengeance peer review. Can it be a reliable source? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the project needs more admins among its ranks cause I'm sick of reverting vandalism and the idiot not even getting a slightest temp ban or warning.

I think Naha, Bulletproof, and Scorpion have the knowledge to make good admins. Mr. SeaBass doesn't want to be one. Nikki 311 05:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much lately ...Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, 4 sinus infections, college graduation, went out of town twice, looking for a new job ...yeah there is more but I think you get the picture lol. Hybrid ...err ..Sea Bass ( :P ) brought to my attention that my name had been brought up here as a possible admin candidate. As some of you know, I have considered it in the past. I know it is something I would one day like to do. I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for it yet though. I think my lack of edits lately due to real life business will definitely keep RFA patrollers from voting support. Also, I just started substitute teaching until I find a permanent job, so I'll be busy from 7-4pm throughout the week now which hasn't been the case in several years for me. So if I was to become an admin anytime soon, my tasks would mainly constitute vandal fighting, 3RR violations, article protection and similar functions until I gain more confidence and have more time. When you all have time, please let me know why you think I would make a good admin :) Thanks for thinking of me and Happy New Year everyone! -- Naha| (talk) 14:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Quite an improvement. In late 2006, we had 3 GAs ( these are our top articles from that date) and now we have 5 FAs, 20 FLs, an FT and 26 GAs. We were definitely one of the most improved projects in 2007 (although those of us in WP:SIMPSONS got 60 GAs in 2007, but a lot of them were episode pages). -- Scorpion 0422 18:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I was interested in reviewing a Good Article nomination. I noticed that it needed copyediting, so I went through the article and fixed it up. Does this count as "contributing significantly" to the article, thus disqualifying me from reviewing the article? I made no major changes, but I just wanted to ensure that this is not considered a conflict of interest (the article is not a WP:PW article). Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 22:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
So I have stumbled on this article, and cleaned ups oem vandalism a few days ago. Since then, the vandalism has been OUT OF CONTROL.

A lot of WWE Superstars/Announcers/Development Stars/ are not yet notable to have their own profile. Yet, they are still under contract to the WWE, or appear on the shows regularly. I propose that we create one article for those Superstars (the Superstar would have a section on that page with basic information about them). Basic information that would be enough to know who the person is, what they do, why they are here, etc. Superstars such as Ranjin Singh aren't ready for their own article, but maybe we could give him a section on the new page, with basic information about him. iMatthew ( talk) 21:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I've been going through a bunch of WP:PW stub articles, and this video game series stood out. The article for the first game, All Star Pro-Wrestling, is fine. The articles for the others ( All Star Pro-Wrestling II and All Star Pro-Wrestling III) have two sentences each. Since the sequels are already mentioned in the article for the first game, would it make sense to just merge them into one article and make II and III into redirects? If so, is that the sort of change that would need to be voted on? Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 06:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I got a few things updated on the COTW subpage. I updated the template and I added the notice to the Dusty Rhodes talk tage. I added the Former COTW template to the John Cena talk page, and I updated the diffs on the Former COTWs table. I'm not sure how to add Dusty Rhodes to the COTWs table or how to archive nominees (Cena and Rhodes, at the very least, need to be archived). After that, I think the page should be up to date (unless anyone wants to do some pruning). If someone has a chance, could they please update the table and archive those two nominations?

I think it would be a good idea to provide a link to currently active wrestling-wrestled deletion discussions each week in the newsletter. It would keep project members informed about articles being discussed for deletion every week. I know that I often don't find out about the discussions (and frankly, it would probably be a little much to have every single one of them posted on the talk page here), but it might be good to have a link that people can click to see what's being discussed each week.

Just a quick heads up: Peteash802005 (a new Wikipedia editor) created an account today and has been editing articles.

Keepign this on my watchlist, I noticed the user removed it again. I went to his user page to maybe leave a message regarding it and saw an interesting conversation. It seems the user editing it is a friend of Jake's and feels that it is something he wouldn't want on their. I don't think that is a fair arguement, how do we go further? The conversation from the talk page is at User_talk:Lswhitten. Thanks, LessThanClippers ( talk) 18:23, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
New Year's Revolution (2007) has been nominated for FA-status. I'm a tad concerned about the nomination as the article is only at B-Class at the moment, and hasn't gone through GAN or nothing. While I believe that it could have a chance at FA, I personally feel that the main editor should of gone to GAN first. Opinions? D.M.N. ( talk) 13:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Once again, I find myself in an edit dispute with User:NickSparrow. This time, he's contending that SD's new announcer and Drew McIntyre's (sp) move to Raw don't count, so should be included. I disagree, on the grounds that neither has been announced or aired. I've reverted it twice already today, so some help would be nice. Hezekiah957 ( talk) 20:47, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Matt Hardy also wrestled on Heat once. Matt Striker too. However, I never saw Scotty 2 Hotty on Raw; yet on Heat he appeared three times. Feed back ☎ 00:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
When Scotty 2 Hotty was on Raw, it was during the Too Cool days when he was on with Brian "Too Cool" Christopher. He was the one rumored to be King Jerry Lawlers son.

I've been working on expanding this article, and I started with the Championships section. I have a couple of questions, though: Should the ESA International Tag Team Championship be listed?

I was wondering if anyone knows what's going on with the article statistics on the WP:PW page. As far as I know, they're updated by a bot every 3 days or so. It's been 7 days since the last update, though. Is something wrong, or does it just take this long sometimes? Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 19:31, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I was wondering, can the website be a reliable source? The only reason I ask this is because Truco made an interesting point at the Vengeance peer review. Can it be a reliable source? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the project needs more admins among its ranks cause I'm sick of reverting vandalism and the idiot not even getting a slightest temp ban or warning. So, who would be willing to become an admin? I would back most of the core members of the project. Jordan Morrison Payne 16:09, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I think Naha, Bulletproof, and Scorpion have the knowledge to make good admins. Mr. SeaBass doesn't want to be one. Nikki 311 05:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around much lately ...Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, 4 sinus infections, college graduation, went out of town twice, looking for a new job ...yeah there is more but I think you get the picture lol. Hybrid ...err ..Sea Bass ( :P ) brought to my attention that my name had been brought up here as a possible admin candidate. As some of you know, I have considered it in the past. I know it is something I would one day like to do. I'm not sure if I'm quite ready for it yet though. I think my lack of edits lately due to real life business will definitely keep RFA patrollers from voting support. Also, I just started substitute teaching until I find a permanent job, so I'll be busy from 7-4pm throughout the week now which hasn't been the case in several years for me. So if I was to become an admin anytime soon, my tasks would mainly constitute vandal fighting, 3RR violations, article protection and similar functions until I gain more confidence and have more time. When you all have time, please let me know why you think I would make a good admin :) Thanks for thinking of me and Happy New Year everyone! -- Naha| (talk) 14:33, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Quite an improvement. In late 2006, we had 3 GAs ( these are our top articles from that date) and now we have 5 FAs, 20 FLs, an FT and 26 GAs. We were definitely one of the most improved projects in 2007 (although those of us in WP:SIMPSONS got 60 GAs in 2007, but a lot of them were episode pages). -- Scorpion 0422 18:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

I was interested in reviewing a Good Article nomination. I noticed that it needed copyediting, so I went through the article and fixed it up. Does this count as "contributing significantly" to the article, thus disqualifying me from reviewing the article? I made no major changes, but I just wanted to ensure that this is not considered a conflict of interest (the article is not a WP:PW article).

So I have stumbled on this article, and cleaned ups oem vandalism a few days ago. Since then, the vandalism has been OUT OF CONTROL.

A lot of WWE Superstars/Announcers/Development Stars/ are not yet notable to have their own profile. Yet, they are still under contract to the WWE, or appear on the shows regularly. I propose that we create one article for those Superstars (the Superstar would have a section on that page with basic information about them). Basic information that would be enough to know who the person is, what they do, why they are here, etc. Superstars such as Ranjin Singh aren't ready for their own article, but maybe we could give him a section on the new page, with basic information about him. iMatthew ( talk) 21:27, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I've been going through a bunch of WP:PW stub articles, and this video game series stood out. The article for the first game, All Star Pro-Wrestling, is fine. The articles for the others ( All Star Pro-Wrestling II and All Star Pro-Wrestling III) have two sentences each. Since the sequels are already mentioned in the article for the first game, would it make sense to just merge them into one article and make II and III into redirects? If so, is that the sort of change that would need to be voted on? Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 06:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

I got a few things updated on the COTW subpage. I updated the template and I added the notice to the Dusty Rhodes talk tage. I added the Former COTW template to the John Cena talk page, and I updated the diffs on the Former COTWs table. I'm not sure how to add Dusty Rhodes to the COTWs table or how to archive nominees (Cena and Rhodes, at the very least, need to be archived). After that, I think the page should be up to date (unless anyone wants to do some pruning). If someone has a chance, could they please update the table and archive those two nominations?

I think it would be a good idea to provide a link to currently active wrestling-wrestled deletion discussions each week in the newsletter. It would keep project members informed about articles being discussed for deletion every week. I know that I often don't find out about the discussions (and frankly, it would probably be a little much to have every single one of them posted on the talk page here), but it might be good to have a link that people can click to see what's being discussed each week. Any thoughts? Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 18:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Just a quick heads up: Peteash802005 (a new Wikipedia editor) created an account today and has been editing articles. His edits seem well intentioned, but they seem to consist of adding redundant wikilinks, adding unsourced trivia, and accidentally deleting parts of sentences.
