As we've discussed here lately, there is a large backlog on the GA Nominations page, and some articlesare waiting up to about 50 days before they are reviewed. I discussed an idea with a member of WP:WGA, and he suggested I give it a try. I have posted help requests on the talk page of each of the major sports Wikiprojects and asked them to review two specific articles over the next week. If every project reviews two articles, the backlog will be eliminated. I randomly chose the articles, and my request is that people from this project try to find time to review 1966 Liberty Bowl and English Channel (horse). If these are already reviewed by someone else or you have time for another review (or you'd rather review something else altogether), it would be great if you could help out with another article. The basic instructions for reviewing articles is found at WP:GAN and the criteria is found at WP:WIAGA. Of course, this is purely voluntary. If you could help, though, it would help out a lot and be greatly appreciated. As I've mentioned, I started reviewing articles lately, and I've learned a lot from it. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 17:54, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
This is going great. Currently, 15/31 articles are being reviewed/on hold. Like GCF said, if you review an article, the nominator of the article to review one themselves. Also, No Way Out (2007) is being reviewed, if you can help with the review, please do. There are notes left on the talk page. iMat thew 20 08 15:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

...for WrestleMania XXIV! Just thought I'd drop by before I leave for Orlando tomorrow afternoon. I found a few things online that could be used in the article as well as for your enjoyment.

This article was moved from Mega Bucks to The Mega Bucks without discussion by User:King Gemini. Do we care, or is the new location just fine? To be honest, I'm a little bothered because I worked so much on the article, but my feelings of WP:OWNership shouldn't really come into play. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 05:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I've seen some pages listing the dates of championships (like Evolution, I forget where else I've seen it). Is this something we want to do? I personally think it looks a bit too cluttered. It is good info to have but it's also in the championship lists which are linked right there. Opinions? - DrWarpMind ( talk) 03:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
This is hilarious. A few people tell me that my edit is wrong, and two of them revert the articles back to the way I had them [2] [3]! Apparently, they strongly believe in multiple consensuses, and will defend both of them to the death.
As for the topic at hand, a Carrer Threatening Match is a fancy name for a retirement match, and as listed in that section, the stipulation can apply to only one of the wrestlers. Reverting that is just being hypcritical. Nothing new there however. Mshake3 ( talk) 05:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Since No Way Out (2004) has recently failed its FAC, I would like to nominate SummerSlam (2007) for FA status. I would like to do this now, rather than later, because I feel that the article is as good as it'll ever be and that it cannot get much better over time (although I am probably over exaggerating). If there are no major objections, I will nominate it in one week. Thanks, –Cheers, L A X 19:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 has just been created as it has been announced for production by THQ/IGN. And with the problems encountered with WWE SvR 2008, 2009 is definatley going to have IP edits/vandalism. So watch out for it. Thanks.-- TrU Co -X 19:56, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
I know said I was going to source the thing over my spring break. I didn't, as I was ill for most of it and would have probably ended screwing up the article somehow. But I have not abandoned the article. I WILL source it, and once that's done, I intend to ask for some feedback and eventually nominate for GA status. I know I'm taking a lot longer to do one PPV article then most of you take for six combined, but I do intend to finish it. After that, I don't intend to really actively participate in PPV expansion much, but I may undertake 'Mania 24 later should I get 23 be granted GA status. My apologies for the empty promises, but I will get the job done. Slowly but surely, as they say. As for a timeframe, I'm not too sure, but my semester is over in a month, so I'll have much time after that. :) Regards, Gavyn Sykes ( talk) 20:45, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
There are slight changes in PPV pages from now on due to comments at the No Way Out 2004 FAC, see here. The first change is within the first line.
Instead of it being:
It is now changed to:
This has been done so that the event name matches the article title.
Results are no longer in bold whatsoever per a discussion again at the No Way Out 2004 FAC. This has been done as it does not relate to anything specific.
At the very beginning of the results section for expanded PPV articles, can you put this line in:
{{Small|Numbers in parentheses indicate the length of the match.}}
I'm informing you guys of this, as a result of the ongoing FAC. These changes will need to occur on all PPV articles for consistency. When this topic gets archived, I'll shift it to the PPV guidelines page so that every one knows. Regards, D.M.N. ( talk) 14:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Should all these articles really be changed based on the opinions of one editor? Mshake3 ( talk) 22:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
No Way Out (2004) failed its FAC, I think its about time to call it quits for now and present a new article for FA. Suggestions? -- TrU Co -X 01:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, according to the WP:PW main page, Triple H is going to be nominated on April 4. I've been trying to clean it up a little. Let's wait until that passes/fails before trying something else. Nikki 311 01:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Its been about two-three weeks since Online Onslaught's domain expired, and it looks as if it won't be renewed. I think its time for 1)To remove the refs with this source from our articles, or 2)Re-place it with results from The Other Arena if it hasn't already been added as a ref, as the same writer from The Other Arena wrote columns from Online Onslaught. TrU Co -X 01:13, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Not sure if there was a consensus on this, but someone has moved the above page. It was probably a good idea. Anyway, I just thought I'd post this here. If you're editing an article, be on the look out for that, there may be broken links and/or redirects to fix relating to above move. Gavyn Sykes ( talk) 14:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations. Please remember that pro wrestling articles tend to attract the worst kind of vandals, and the Montreal Screwjob was hit pretty hard when it was on the main page (remember that guy who kept tagging it with notability and reference tags?) so keep a close eye out. As well, I am fully expecting someone to afd the page (it happened to Through the Looking Glass (Lost)) so we'll see hoe things go. -- Scorpion 0422 21:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Well done guys, I'm gonna go watch for 10 minutes Straight Edge PXK 03:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Nothing personal. You guys do good work. But I think that when I return full(er)-time to Wikipedia (still a couple weeks away), I'm gonna find other things to work on, outside this project's purview (for the most part, anyway). There are some things that are bothering me about the project that are no one's problem but mine. And other areas I'd simply like to concentrate my efforts.
Look at me wax grandiose. You won't even notice, I'm sure. Many of you probably don't even know who I am. But in case there's someone who does, I thought it would be courteous to leave this note. Tromboneguy0186 ( talk) 10:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Well its been nominated for FA; its here. Ni mi Ti ze 03:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
OMG! Why can't people just wait until they say?? There's even a citation needed tag in the article. I suggest finding a source for that or nobody will support. It won't kill anyone to wait the extra couple of days. Nikki 311 14:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry Nikki, to me it felt like a well written article and better then meeting the FA status, Its not that I didnt want to wait, its that, why wait? Ni mi Ti ze 19:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

O.K guy's I think I'm going to take a wikibreak for a while. Some of you might not know me, and some of you know me pretty well, I will probably be back in a couple months maybe not that long lol, and if you leave a message I will respond trust me but i'm not gonna go out of my way to help on article's for the time being.

I've updated the stats today and we now have 100 articles expanded or partially expanded. Thank you to all that have contributed.

In the Championships and accomplishments sections of Wrestler articles, is there an exact order of how the championships should be ordered?-- 3L Va K3 r0 02:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
As I'm sure you've heard, one of the goals of this project is to reduce the number of stub articles by expanding them until they are at least start class. Since mid-December, the number of stub articles has dropped by 129 (while our overall number of articles has grown by almost 300). The stub expansion has slowed down, though, and this looks like the first week in which the percentage of stubs will actually increase. It would be great if a few people could choose an article to expand this week. A list of some of the more famous wrestlers is given at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs, but there are quite a few more to choose from. I would like to see the number of stub articles drop below 600, so help would be appreciated. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 13:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

A lot of things can be broken off from the to-do list. Also should be guidelines for capitalization of moves/match types, and which moves should be preceded by "the" and which should be by "a/an". -- 13 of Diamonds ( talk) 03:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Well its clear that we need this for the new users, and for most of us users who forget sometimes. Please list what should be included, as I will create it in my sandbox and then move it to the main space. Thanks.-- TrU Co -X 14:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
I posted a message before, but Scorpion0422, removed it because "this is not the place for good-bye comments", as I am retiring from Wikipedia, but "project wise" I would appreciate it if the project would respond to any queries that would come up on the APA's and OTE's GA-Review. Thank you, and good luck to this project in the future.-- 3L Va K3 r0 23:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Aah, your leaving. Yet, you can't for some reason be bothered to review the GA's when they come around, your leaving it for us to pick up the work? And is there any specific reason why your leaving Wikipedia, the amount of bickering I've seen on your, Trucco's, NimiTize's and LAX's talkpage is beyond belief and in my view plain stupidity. D.M.N. ( talk) 09:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Scorpion, you've got to loosen up and chill out. A member leaving our group is important information for the pro wrestling group. Is it really such a big deal that you need to go out of your way to remove the message? Kris ( talk) 12:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I have used up my three revert rule. Please see the edit history of WWE Backlash as well as User talk:DeadmanUndertaker. That user insists that I am wrong and that Wikipedia's policy is trumped by WWE. Thanks. Gavyn Sykes ( talk) 00:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I discovered the talk page of this user: User talk:Palmer-Ridge, who uses the page to list the moveset of a fictional wrestler. This immediately reminded me of Jeff Money ( talk · contribs) who had dedicated his user space to chronicling the fictional career of one Jim Samuel.

There are slight changes in PPV pages from now on due to comments at the No Way Out 2004 FAC, see here. The first change is within the first line.
Instead of it being:
It is now changed to:
This has been done so that the event name matches the article title.
Results are no longer in bold whatsoever per a discussion again at the No Way Out 2004 FAC. This has been done as it does not relate to anything specific.
At the very beginning of the results section for expanded PPV articles, can you put this line in:
{{Small|Numbers in parentheses indicate the length of the match.}}
I'm informing you guys of this, as a result of the ongoing FAC. These changes will need to occur on all PPV articles for consistency. When this topic gets archived, I'll shift it to the PPV guidelines page so that every one knows. Regards, D.M.N. ( talk) 14:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Should all these articles really be changed based on the opinions of one editor? Mshake3 ( talk) 22:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
No Way Out (2004) failed its FAC, I think its about time to call it quits for now and present a new article for FA. Suggestions? -- TrU Co -X 01:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, according to the WP:PW main page, Triple H is going to be nominated on April 4. I've been trying to clean it up a little. Let's wait until that passes/fails before trying something else. Nikki 311 01:11, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Thats twice, I guess it needs more work. Ni mi Ti ze 16:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Its been about two-three weeks since Online Onslaught's domain expired, and it looks as if it won't be renewed. I think its time for 1)To remove the refs with this source from our articles, or 2)Re-place it with results from The Other Arena if it hasn't already been added as a ref, as the same writer from The Other Arena wrote columns from Online Onslaught. TrU Co -X 01:13, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Not sure if there was a consensus on this, but someone has moved the above page. It was probably a good idea. Anyway, I just thought I'd post this here. If you're editing an article, be on the look out for that, there may be broken links and/or redirects to fix relating to above move. Gavyn Sykes ( talk) 14:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
^^ See title. D.M.N. ( talk) 16:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, this has been going great. The list is shorter now more than ever and articles are quickly being review. Today, I request that a few people find an article to review. Then ask it's nominator to review a PW article. iMat thew 20 08 18:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
How are SmackDown vs RAW games a part of the SmackDown! series? -- TrU Co -X 15:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed it, but... December to Dismember (2006) has been scheduled as the "Today's featured article" for tomorrow (obviously on the day of WrestleMania). Thought everyone should know ahead of time. The Chronic 18:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Congratulations. Please remember that pro wrestling articles tend to attract the worst kind of vandals, and the Montreal Screwjob was hit pretty hard when it was on the main page (remember that guy who kept tagging it with notability and reference tags?) so keep a close eye out. As well, I am fully expecting someone to afd the page (it happened to Through the Looking Glass (Lost)) so we'll see hoe things go. -- Scorpion 0422 21:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Well done guys, I'm gonna go watch for 10 minutes Straight Edge PXK 03:38, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Nothing personal. You guys do good work. But I think that when I return full(er)-time to Wikipedia (still a couple weeks away), I'm gonna find other things to work on, outside this project's purview (for the most part, anyway). There are some things that are bothering me about the project that are no one's problem but mine. And other areas I'd simply like to concentrate my efforts.
Look at me wax grandiose. You won't even notice, I'm sure. Many of you probably don't even know who I am. But in case there's someone who does, I thought it would be courteous to leave this note. Tromboneguy0186 ( talk) 10:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I have noticed that although we have been going to every two weeks with the newsletter a number of calendar items, especially members birthdays, from the 2nd week are left off. I noticed this with my bday coming up, and did soem back looking, and it seems to be the case. Just a heads up, I really don't care if my bday gets mentioned :) Less Than Clippers 19:25, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Well its been nominated for FA; its here. Ni mi Ti ze 03:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
OMG! Why can't people just wait until they say?? There's even a citation needed tag in the article. I suggest finding a source for that or nobody will support. It won't kill anyone to wait the extra couple of days. Nikki 311 14:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry Nikki, to me it felt like a well written article and better then meeting the FA status, Its not that I didnt want to wait, its that, why wait? Ni mi Ti ze 19:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I feel so fuc_in stupid. Ni mi Ti ze 22:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
O.K guy's I think I'm going to take a wikibreak for a while. Some of you might not know me, and some of you know me pretty well, I will probably be back in a couple months maybe not that long lol, and if you leave a message I will respond trust me but i'm not gonna go out of my way to help on article's for the time being. Nothing personal, look forward to seeing you guy's real soon :) Sexy Steeler Fan 19:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Um, the article has been created. Thought I should let you guys know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I've updated the stats today and we now have 100 articles expanded or partially expanded. Thank you to all that have contributed. However, the amount of articles marked as "Incomplete and Inactive" has increased significantly. (from 7 to 26 over the last month) -- 13 of Diamonds ( talk) 01:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
In the Championships and accomplishments sections of Wrestler articles, is there an exact order of how the championships should be ordered?-- 3L Va K3 r0 02:21, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
As I'm sure you've heard, one of the goals of this project is to reduce the number of stub articles by expanding them until they are at least start class. Since mid-December, the number of stub articles has dropped by 129 (while our overall number of articles has grown by almost 300). The stub expansion has slowed down, though, and this looks like the first week in which the percentage of stubs will actually increase. It would be great if a few people could choose an article to expand this week. A list of some of the more famous wrestlers is given at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Stubs, but there are quite a few more to choose from. I would like to see the number of stub articles drop below 600, so help would be appreciated. Thanks, GaryColemanFan ( talk) 13:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

A lot of things can be broken off from the to-do list. Also should be guidelines for capitalization of moves/match types, and which moves should be preceded by "the" and which should be by "a/an". -- 13 of Diamonds ( talk) 03:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
Well its clear that we need this for the new users, and for most of us users who forget sometimes. Please list what should be included, as I will create it in my sandbox and then move it to the main space. Thanks.-- TrU Co -X 14:43, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
I posted a message before, but Scorpion0422, removed it because "this is not the place for good-bye comments", as I am retiring from Wikipedia, but "project wise" I would appreciate it if the project would respond to any queries that would come up on the APA's and OTE's GA-Review. Thank you, and good luck to this project in the future.-- 3L Va K3 r0 23:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Aah, your leaving. Yet, you can't for some reason be bothered to review the GA's when they come around, your leaving it for us to pick up the work? And is there any specific reason why your leaving Wikipedia, the amount of bickering I've seen on your, Trucco's, NimiTize's and LAX's talkpage is beyond belief and in my view plain stupidity. D.M.N. ( talk) 09:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Scorpion, you've got to loosen up and chill out. A member leaving our group is important information for the pro wrestling group. Is it really such a big deal that you need to go out of your way to remove the message? Kris ( talk) 12:49, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I have used up my three revert rule. Please see the edit history of WWE Backlash as well as User talk:DeadmanUndertaker. That user insists that I am wrong and that Wikipedia's policy is trumped by WWE. Thanks. Gavyn Sykes ( talk) 00:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I discovered the talk page of this user: User talk:Palmer-Ridge, who uses the page to list the moveset of a fictional wrestler. This immediately reminded me of Jeff Money ( talk · contribs) who had dedicated his user space to chronicling the fictional career of one Jim Samuel. Jeff Money was a sock of Asadaleem12@hotmail.com ( talk · contribs) and I was wondering if anyone thought this guy could be too. -- Scorpion 0422 19:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't have time to deal with this right now...so I suggest taking it to either the suspected sockpuppet noticeboard, the admin noticeboard, checkuser, or wherever. I'm logging off for the night to deal with a crazy load of work I have to do for school. Nikki 311 21:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I thought bolding in the match/results section was to be discouraged, but i see at WrestleMania XXIV it has bolding (the match names)?-- TrU Co -X 20:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
