I just noticed that the all of the TNA references are failing, see this section for example, I suspect that the first ones became disabled when TNA changed his website but the newer ones are giving me "You are not authorized to view this resource. You need to login." now if login is required that means that reviewers at GAC will not consider this a relible source since it requires the creation of a account, this is bound to affect all of out TNA articles, has some alternate source already been established? if not, are there any suggestions? - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I've just read that there is allegedly some kind of campaign to prevent WP:PW members from commenting on FAC debates.

Is there any particular reason this project only recognises Pro Wrestling Illustrated's World Title criteria? PWI's list of wrestling World Heavyweight Title reigns states "There is no ultimate source that declares which of the various wrestling promotions top championships have that status and views differ from promotion to promotion. The same happens with PWI. Hence this page is not supposed to represent the official view on which titles have world title status, it just represents PWI's point of view.". Prior to my 6-month hiatus I remember putting forward a viewpoint that it was inappropriate for an encyclopaedia to solely recognise one organisation's definition of what consitutes a "World Title" and suggesting that we either include every belt that carries such a name or none of them (and so delete all catagories/lists relating to "World Champions").

Sorry for filling up the talk page so much, but I've had more time than usual over the past week, so I've been busy. I'd like to add a free use picture to the KOTR 1994 article per the GA reviewer's request. The best candidate I can find would be Img:Roddy_Piper.jpg. However, I'm having trouble placing it in the article. Would someone be able to help? No matter where I put it, it either seems awkward, splits up paragraphs or creates too much white space.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Domino (wrestler) another one. iMat thew 15:35, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
As I'm sure everyone has noticed, a bunch of articles have been deleted and/or nominated for deletion over the past week. My concern is that no effort is being put into expanding the articles before deletion. Most of the time, the rationale given is "non-notable". But rather than shooting first and asking questions later, how about either trying to expand them or listing them on the stub article subpage with a notice that they will be nominated if they're not expanded with a given number of days? I've been doing a lot of work on stub articles because I'd rather give articles a chance than just delete them without putting in an effort.
There also seems to be a belief in this project that notability should be equated with long-term employment with Vince McMahon. Please keep in mind that many wrestlers who have not signed with WWE or TNA (or have only recently signed) may still be notable because of their accomplishments in various independent promotions.
Of course, some articles should be deleted. But, unless it's a hoax, giving project members a chance to improve the articles would be nice. And please avoid speedy deletions unless it's a hoax. If an article is nominated and deleted within a span of 6 hours, there's no way anyone would have a chance to fix it up. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 17:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Last post was on January 5. It would be great if more project members can address their concerns. Cheers, Feed back ☎ 18:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Instead of a cluttered long list, a prose should be done for all wrestling video game articles. See WWE_SmackDown_vs._Raw_2008#Roster for a good example. Also: arena lists should be put in prose (or described in gameplay), as they are technically level lists, which typically aren't in list form on a game articles. Plus, the non-playable sections should just go. Many video games have these types of characters, and a majority of game articles don't just list them for "completeness" sake. Anyone care to help out?

Well looks like someone has created the article using a non-free image. The article looks like crap and I dont think there is enough info for here to have an article. Should we PROD it?-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 01:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
The newsletter is supposed to go out today, so I updated the COTW based on the votes received. This week's collaboration is Ricky Banderas.
One other thing that I wanted to mention is that I think that the nominations that were pruned last week should have their waiting period waived because there was a lull in activity for the COTW and Dusty Rhodes was used for two weeks. If anyone wants to nominate Shane McMahon, Rikidōzan, D-Generation X, Eddie Guerrero, Sting (wrestler), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Professional wrestling, André the Giant or Booker Huffman sooner than the normal two month waiting period, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Of course, if anyone objects, I can go with that as well. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 02:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I was talking to iMatthew about the article and then It reminded me about someone mentioning in the past that we should remove the Corporate people and create a separate article for them.

Alright. As much as I tried, I haven't been able to get any time to properly dedicate to the creation of the article. Therefore I'm going to have to put it in the open and give someone else a chance to create it so we can make the WWE New Year's Revolution page a lot cleaner. Some of it has already been done and I can still attempt to contribute to it if I can snatch some time: The work in progress is here. Sorry again and hopefully I can still get around to actually contributing to this project. Ada Maniac 08:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Maybe this should just be scrapped from articles, because people have no clue what they're talking about. Aside from countless fake titles to make themselves feel smart, idiots are calling WWE-made tracks "production themes." Do you know what production music is? Going by this, you don't. Production music is music created by companies to be used by whoever wants to pay to license it. So stop calling WWE-made tracks production, and quit giving them fake titles that look like a 6 year old made them up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.23.140.20 ( talk • contribs)
Did anybody catch RAW last night? Because, in Michael's talk page, there are some users stating that Michaels has a new finisher, the "New Inverted Figure Four Submission Finisher". Is this true? Zenlax T C S 20:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
WWE corporate announced that with the HD update, they would make new sets for RAW, SD! and ECW. Should it be added? (now or later)-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 23:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Should we even have talk pages anymore for each article? Anyway, set design is mentioned in detail in these articles, so I don't see what the issue is. Mshake3 ( talk) 23:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Might want to keep an eye out (even though i'm sure some people already do it, like me). Some people keep adding that Punk/Chavo for the ECW Championship will happen at the RR. Some "genius" tried putting it in with a source, the problem being that the source (wwe.com) says that the match will take place next week on ECW. This happens everytime WWE has a match with a title shot going to the winner, some posters will add it to the next PPV without any proof that it will happen (and most of the time the match ends up happening on TV).

User:RLipstock is at it again. He created Category:McMahon Stables, which is the definition of un-needed. Can somebody take care of that for me, as I've never done a CFD and don't have a lot of time right now to go learn how. Thanks. Nikki 311 15:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
On a rather trivial (but interesting) note, no one should need to revert SmackDown spoilers if they don't have a source, because none of the websites have managed to get their hands on the SmackDown taping spoilers for this week!

I've renominated Don Kent (wrestler) for GA since it was mistakenly failed and I was on vacation so I couldn't point it out before now. The problem was supposedly sources but it's fully sourced - hopefully it'll be one of WP:PW's next GA articles. On a related note, I'm going to be working hard on The Fabulous Kangaroos article in the hopes of getting it to FA status as well as working on Roy Heffernan to improve it enough to achieve GA. Hopefully with time I can make the "Fabulous Kangaroos" a featured topic with all being GA and some being FA (Kangaroos & Costello have the best shot at making FA). So I'm asking that anyone and everyone that have a spare moment to please look over the following articles and either comment or copy edit to get them ready for FA and GA, thanks in advance.
Any and all help is appriciated and reciprocated. MPJ-DK ( talk) 12:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Reading the article, I see no reason why it should be under that title. I don't see that as the name he goes by out of the ring, and is most known as Carlito. I propse changed to Carlos Colón Jr. LessThanClippers ( talk) 23:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
King of the Ring 1994 was promoted to Good Article status today. Thank you to everyone who worked on it. I would like to nominate SummerSlam 1994 for Good Article status soon. I have request a Peer Review for this article, which can be accessed here. If anyone has some time, it would be great if you could look over the article (or even a section or two) and provide some feedback. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 00:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Despite some criticism with it, I will begin to try to fully expand the pro wrestling portal. We already have a sufficient amount of "selected articles" for the page (which are all FA articles). However, we will need some "selected picture" suggestions, as well as "in the news" and "did you know?". If you have any suggestions to any of these, please notify me or on the portal talk page (or here). Thank you. The Chronic 06:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
One more thing: I need help with adding {{Portal|Professional wrestling|break=yes}}
to the bottom of each pro wrestling article. It's just a notification of the pro wrestling portal. If everybody could help with this, it would be much appreciated (add the template to the "see also" sections. If there isn't a "see also" section, put it in "External links").

On a second note, why is the name of the article Rey Mysterio, Sr with a Y and not Rey Misterio, Sr with an I. Rey Mysterio Jr changed the spelling of his name to a englisized version after he signed with WWE, but Rey Sr. has never done so.

Me and Lex proposed in the past to add sources to the list, and now the article "needs additional sources". And when we presented the idea people declined because it would look "ugly"..So what now?
Also there is just too much activity on the article, especially speculation. I think we should fully protect the article for awhile.-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 22:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I have no problem with this category existing. But, should it just be used for WWE PPV locations? Right now it seems to have just about any venue WWE has been in, maybe we should restrict it to venues that have hosted PPV's/SNME. TJ Spyke 04:39, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

But rather than shooting first and asking questions later, how about either trying to expand them or listing them on the stub article subpage with a notice that they will be nominated if they're not expanded with a given number of days? I've been doing a lot of work on stub articles because I'd rather give articles a chance than just delete them without putting in an effort.
There also seems to be a belief in this project that notability should be equated with long-term employment with Vince McMahon. Please keep in mind that many wrestlers who have not signed with WWE or TNA (or have only recently signed) may still be notable because of their accomplishments in various independent promotions.
Of course, some articles should be deleted. But, unless it's a hoax, giving project members a chance to improve the articles would be nice. And please avoid speedy deletions unless it's a hoax. If an article is nominated and deleted within a span of 6 hours, there's no way anyone would have a chance to fix it up. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 17:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Last post was on January 5. It would be great if more project members can address their concerns. Cheers, Feed back ☎ 18:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Instead of a cluttered long list, a prose should be done for all wrestling video game articles. See WWE_SmackDown_vs._Raw_2008#Roster for a good example. Also: arena lists should be put in prose (or described in gameplay), as they are technically level lists, which typically aren't in list form on a game articles. Plus, the non-playable sections should just go. Many video games have these types of characters, and a majority of game articles don't just list them for "completeness" sake. Anyone care to help out?

What is up with the archiving of this talk page, there are a couple of discussions here older than 7 days. The links update is good to have but I feel it should be somewhere else because it is taking up a rack of space. Suggestions?-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 20:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that Unforgiven is done and to check if everything is in place. Also wanted say that I will start expanding Unforgiven (2004) in my Sandbox. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Well looks like someone has created the article using a non-free image. The article looks like crap and I dont think there is enough info for here to have an article. Should we PROD it?-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 01:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
The newsletter is supposed to go out today, so I updated the COTW based on the votes received. This week's collaboration is Ricky Banderas.
One other thing that I wanted to mention is that I think that the nominations that were pruned last week should have their waiting period waived because there was a lull in activity for the COTW and Dusty Rhodes was used for two weeks. If anyone wants to nominate Shane McMahon, Rikidōzan, D-Generation X, Eddie Guerrero, Sting (wrestler), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, Professional wrestling, André the Giant or Booker Huffman sooner than the normal two month waiting period, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Of course, if anyone objects, I can go with that as well. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 02:09, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I was talking to iMatthew about the article and then It reminded me about someone mentioning in the past that we should remove the Corporate people and create a separate article for them. Should it be done, because it literally is called "roster" not employees/management?-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 01:25, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
I just came across this article and was thinking of PRODing it. Any thoughts?-- bulletproof 3:16 05:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Alright. As much as I tried, I haven't been able to get any time to properly dedicate to the creation of the article. Therefore I'm going to have to put it in the open and give someone else a chance to create it so we can make the WWE New Year's Revolution page a lot cleaner. Some of it has already been done and I can still attempt to contribute to it if I can snatch some time: The work in progress is here. Sorry again and hopefully I can still get around to actually contributing to this project. Ada Maniac 08:02, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

So I didnt really follow this well when it occurred but Wikipedia reported the Benoit death before police found it. So did any actions take place, or they know who did it?

Why does achieving GA status for some articles take so long? I have posted No Way Out (2004) for GA nomination over half a month ago. How long does it take?-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 18:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Maybe this should just be scrapped from articles, because people have no clue what they're talking about. Aside from countless fake titles to make themselves feel smart, idiots are calling WWE-made tracks "production themes." Do you know what production music is? Going by this, you don't. Production music is music created by companies to be used by whoever wants to pay to license it. So stop calling WWE-made tracks production, and quit giving them fake titles that look like a 6 year old made them up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.23.140.20 ( talk • contribs)
Did anybody catch RAW last night? Because, in Michael's talk page, there are some users stating that Michaels has a new finisher, the "New Inverted Figure Four Submission Finisher". Is this true? Zenlax T C S 20:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
WWE corporate announced that with the HD update, they would make new sets for RAW, SD! and ECW. Should it be added? (now or later)-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 23:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Should we even have talk pages anymore for each article? Anyway, set design is mentioned in detail in these articles, so I don't see what the issue is. Mshake3 ( talk) 23:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Might want to keep an eye out (even though i'm sure some people already do it, like me). Some people keep adding that Punk/Chavo for the ECW Championship will happen at the RR. Some "genius" tried putting it in with a source, the problem being that the source (wwe.com) says that the match will take place next week on ECW. This happens everytime WWE has a match with a title shot going to the winner, some posters will add it to the next PPV without any proof that it will happen (and most of the time the match ends up happening on TV).

User:RLipstock is at it again. He created Category:McMahon Stables, which is the definition of un-needed. Can somebody take care of that for me, as I've never done a CFD and don't have a lot of time right now to go learn how. Thanks. Nikki 311 15:14, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
On a rather trivial (but interesting) note, no one should need to revert SmackDown spoilers if they don't have a source, because none of the websites have managed to get their hands on the SmackDown taping spoilers for this week! Lol! No reverting for us this week.... D.M.N. ( talk) 21:47, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
This user is insisting that DX is going to reunite on the January 21 edition of Raw and nowhere in WWE.com does it say anything about them getting together. And, he's violated the 3RR. Thought I should let you guys know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I've renominated Don Kent (wrestler) for GA since it was mistakenly failed and I was on vacation so I couldn't point it out before now. The problem was supposedly sources but it's fully sourced - hopefully it'll be one of WP:PW's next GA articles. On a related note, I'm going to be working hard on The Fabulous Kangaroos article in the hopes of getting it to FA status as well as working on Roy Heffernan to improve it enough to achieve GA. Hopefully with time I can make the "Fabulous Kangaroos" a featured topic with all being GA and some being FA (Kangaroos & Costello have the best shot at making FA). So I'm asking that anyone and everyone that have a spare moment to please look over the following articles and either comment or copy edit to get them ready for FA and GA, thanks in advance.
Any and all help is appriciated and reciprocated. MPJ-DK ( talk) 12:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Reading the article, I see no reason why it should be under that title. I don't see that as the name he goes by out of the ring, and is most known as Carlito. I propse changed to Carlos Colón Jr. LessThanClippers ( talk) 23:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
King of the Ring 1994 was promoted to Good Article status today. Thank you to everyone who worked on it. I would like to nominate SummerSlam 1994 for Good Article status soon. I have request a Peer Review for this article, which can be accessed here. If anyone has some time, it would be great if you could look over the article (or even a section or two) and provide some feedback. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 00:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Despite some criticism with it, I will begin to try to fully expand the pro wrestling portal. We already have a sufficient amount of "selected articles" for the page (which are all FA articles). However, we will need some "selected picture" suggestions, as well as "in the news" and "did you know?". If you have any suggestions to any of these, please notify me or on the portal talk page (or here). Thank you. The Chronic 06:53, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
One more thing: I need help with adding {{Portal|Professional wrestling|break=yes}}
to the bottom of each pro wrestling article. It's just a notification of the pro wrestling portal. If everybody could help with this, it would be much appreciated (add the template to the "see also" sections. If there isn't a "see also" section, put it in "External links").

Im having issues with this article again. GOD I LOVE TROLLS!!! Anyways, can someone help teach me how to report Sockpuppetry. I got one name blocked and ten seconds later a very similar name is doing the same vandalism. LessThanClippers ( talk) 19:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I know he is notable but I can't find any info on him online and his article is a stub with little to no info. Can we AfD it? or does someone have sources we can add to the article?-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 23:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
On a second note, why is the name of the article Rey Mysterio, Sr with a Y and not Rey Misterio, Sr with an I. Rey Mysterio Jr changed the spelling of his name to a englisized version after he signed with WWE, but Rey Sr. has never done so. The article title uses a spelling that the performer himself has never used. Stephen Day ( talk) 01:27, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Please remember that a good alternative to nominating an article for deletion is to list it on the stub article subpage. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 03:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Me and Lex proposed in the past to add sources to the list, and now the article "needs additional sources". And when we presented the idea people declined because it would look "ugly"..So what now?
Also there is just too much activity on the article, especially speculation. I think we should fully protect the article for awhile.-- TrUcO9311 TaLk / SiGn 22:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Gee, another section in here. Just eliminate the corporate staff. It's not important. Also, if it's a roster, why are we listing some names twice for the sake of tag teams? Mshake3 ( talk) 05:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I have no problem with this category existing. But, should it just be used for WWE PPV locations? Right now it seems to have just about any venue WWE has been in, maybe we should restrict it to venues that have hosted PPV's/SNME. TJ Spyke 04:39, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Not to open up a can of worms, but what about creating a category for venues that have hosted a Wrestlemania. It wouldn't be too many considering some places have hosted multiple-Manias. -- EndlessDan 19:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
