Do we really need to have awards on articles that were issued by a dirtsheet? Pro Wrestling Insider is a dirtsheet, and we don't use dirtsheets. Killswitch Engage ( talk) 05:30, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I have to ask though. Who decided that we don't use "dirtsheets" anyway? Mshake3 ( talk) 04:42, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I love how little info there is on the Canadian Independent scene, yet every american indy wrestler and their dog gets an article. I call for more effort put into the Canadian scene, which I will be attempting to do. I have already started to do research into Monster Pro Wrestling and Prairie Wrestling Alliance, with articles on their competitors also being researched. I fully expect to be vetoed because it's Canadian content, but I don't care. Killswitch Engage ( talk) 16:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

This article, which appears to have been deleted five times in the past (see the article's talk page), has been re-created. The only sources used are Obsessed with Wrestling (blacklisted) and Crawford's "official fansite". She seems to have accomplished a little since the previous deletion, but I am unsure if she meets notability requirements. Crawford was listed on the "Requested articles" page, and I think the article would be fine if it had proper sources (she has wrestled for OVW and FCW and held the OVW Women's Championship). Could someone who is familiar with this sort of thing help out? GaryColemanFan ( talk) 23:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Is there some way we can shorten the article, because the KoR has had so many tournaments and the article is super long, is there a solution we can propose to shorten it, or make it similar to the Royal Rumble page?--~ S R S~ 01:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps we could move all the individual PPV results into their own pages eventually and on the main page keep all of the tournaments that have been held, regardless of them being at a PPV or not. If the article reads too long then it might be wise to just show the brackets as they contain all the relevent information (times, methods of win). Tony2Times ( talk) 22:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Due to the edit-warring over the past few weeks to do with the "Career Threatening match" sub-title in the article, I requested for the article to be fully-protected. The protection has been granted for a full week, by which time hopefully we should of come for consensus. My view is that it should be noted in both the "Results" section and within the lead, with the sub-title, however some editors disagree. Please discuss underneath, so we can come to a consensus that suits everybody. Regards, D.M.N. ( talk) 20:30, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
A possible argument could be that the match is conducted in the same way as a normal match and the retirement is just something that was on the line. There have been matches in the past where a retirement clause was added and no change was added to the listing in the Results. -- 13 of Diamonds ( talk) 21:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
We can all agree that a Belfast Brawl is just a fancy name for a No DQ match, right? That's why Hardcore Wrestling is linked to in the article. It's an accurate description of the match in question. Now look here. According to what we have, a retirement match is where the loser must retire, HOWEVER, the stipulation can apply to only one of the wrestlers. That too sounds like an accurate description of the match in question. So, just like Belfast Brawl is linked to Hardcore Wrestling, a Career Threatening Match should be linked to Retirement Match. Mshake3 ( talk) 04:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
With Belfast Brawl, doesn't the name seem unnecesary? It doesn't mean anything and the use of all these different names makes it confusing and not easy to understand. (perhaps even in-universe?) While the link does clarify that, it's a nuisance to a casual reader and the inclusion of the name doesn't further their (or even wrestling fans') knowledge of the match. --

I take it that the continued arguing about such a trivial matter means that the involved parties are determined to take this to WP:LAME and possibly beyond. It's sad that we're about to get our ninth entry on that page. Wouldn't it be more productive to focus on improving one of our 3,532 other articles? This seriously needs to go to Wikipedia:Third opinion or Wikipedia:Dispute resolution so that everybody can get one with their lives. GaryColemanFan ( talk) 16:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
There you go guys your main supporter is a second grader. In all honesty while this isnt a huge deal if its gonna be in the wrestlemania article that it was a career threatening match then we have to go back and put it in to every article with Flair since November. But technically it was not a career threatening match as had Shawn lost nothing would have happened. LifeStroke420 ( talk) 19:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

If you watch this youtube video of the countdown for this show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbxfjpovhXo it seems very clear to me that the name of the Pay Per View was WrestleVision, and that The Wrestling Classic was the name of the Tournament held on the Pay Per View. Vince McMahon states it implicitly. I think this article should be renamed or redirected to reflect as such. Yagobo79 ( talk) 05:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
As this discussion does not seem to be going anywhere, and it would be better if the community of Pro Wrestling would reach a consensus on this. On the World Wrestling Entertainment roster page, the page is called "WWE Roster", the wrestlers and other on air talent as stated by WWE's roster pages. But the Corporate Management and Other Personnel, IMO, should not belong on the page. If they are too belong, then we should rename the article to World Wrestling Entertainment employees. Comments?--~ S R S~ 20:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Another problem among the article is the unassigned talent, the developmental roster, the notes written beside a wrestler. These are unsourced, and if they are they are sourced with "dirt sheet" websites, what can we do about this?--~ S R S~ 20:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
My third problem with the article is that it has always blurred the line between kayfabe and real life. Like mentioning that Shawn Michaels also is allowed to appear on Smackdown because of his feud with Batista. Really, in real life, wwe can have anyone appear anywhere, whenever. Everytime i bring this up, I get shot down. Less Than Clippers 21:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Just so peeps know, CM Punk faces Edge on SD (I'm watching UK Airing) so those bits on his article about losing MITB to Edge may be true (Please god no, not again.) I personally don't like it because a) Punk would get bumped down to midcard again (If you count ECW as having a top card) and b) Edge doesnt need another title shot or MITB reign. But hey, our job is to provide the info so my shoot talking isnt relevant. Sexy Sea Bassist 21:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

This article can be a GA/FA with some work. To start off, what are some of your opinions about the report? The background... do you think there are some non-notable feud, should the qualifying matches even be listed? The event... do you think it is too long? Does having more information than probably needed hurt the article? The aftermath... does need to be expanded, probably after Backlash, but for now what are your thoughts? iMat thew 20 08 13:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

I created a new PPV template that merges all of the individual PPV templates. You can see it here. There are two templates. The top shows the years aligned, and the bottom just does not. Which one should we use, or should we just keep the individual ones we have now? iMat thew 20 08 15:39, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I like the top one. It makes it easier to find the event in question. Mshake3 ( talk) 18:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
My only concern is that over time, the template might get too long (horizontally) and might look scrunched up in most browsers. Nikki 311 19:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
In what situations would this template be helpful? -- 13 of Diamonds ( talk) 22:04, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

We have a tie for tomorrow's COTW between National Wrestling Alliance and Hulk Hogan. The second spot goes to the FACOTW.

What do you guys say about having an A-Class article here at PW? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:28, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
I'd say do that. Hoor-A *tumbleweed* Sexy Sea Bassist 23:14, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
My understanding is that A articles are better than GA, but not quite at FA yet. I agree that Triple H might be there. There would have to be a consensus though on what it takes to be an A article, and we'd have to implement some sort of way to review and re-assessment them properly. We can't have everyone just reassessing their articles, or the system wouldn't be consistent. Nikki 311 23:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Now that we are at it, how about a List class rating for our lists? I've seen other projects with it, and some of our lists, like Current World Wrestling Entertainment employees and Professional wrestling match types, can be rated better.--~ S R S~ 23:21, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Inspired by seeing the List of Ring of Honor events page, User:Ericystephi has created List of ECW events, List of JAPW events, List of CZW events, and List of PWG events. Are these all useful articles? I'm finding some of this user's contributions questionable (eg. adding a list of opponents to the "Undefeated streak" section of Bill Goldberg). GaryColemanFan ( talk) 02:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Well since this is now a pro wrestling move, I added a pro wrestling template in the talk page. But then I noticed the article and "Use in Pro Wrestling", is it notable to have every instance that The Undertaker used the move? (I know IMO its not, but what do other users think)--~ S R S~ 02:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
In the professional wrestling match types article, there is a Taipai Deathmatch, 200 Lighttubes Deathmatch, and a No Rope Barbwire Deathmatch, is there any Verifiability to these matches?--~ S R S~ 02:54, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, I took the liberty of cleaning them up a bit and adding the source GCF provided to the Taipei match. Nikki 311 23:16, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Well we previously had Online Onslaught terminated, but revived at OOWrestling. Now we have PWWEW.net a major source for many PPV's, is now Dead. I guess we shall wait for another domain to pop up, or we may have serious problems.--~ S R S~ 00:44, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

I've recently seen multiple problem's with this section/table.
1. The fact that some article list it as a table and some as it's own section. It should all be a table, right?
2. Next, the capitalization. It is capitalized many different ways in different articles. I've seen:
Which one is it?
3. Next, the name. Is it Other On-Screen Talent or Other On-Air Talent, because I've seen both in different articles.
4. Next, does it begin in the middle of the background section or the top of the event section?
5. Should the table be show/hide? The benefit to that is that if the table is too large, it's automatically hiding. The bad part of it is that when you open it, the event section becomes very awkward. I think it would be better in the Results section or Aftermath, where it wouldn't do much damage because we don't put pictures in there.

Tell me I'm not crazy. I know I've read somewhere that stand alone years shouldn't be wikilinked. For example saying, Triple H won the belt in 2008 would be wrong, but if the month and day were there, such as Triple H won the belt on April 27 2008, it would be correct. I'm trying to find the guideline, does anybody know where it is? Nikki 311 13:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
The purpose of bracketing a date is so a logged in user's display preferences are used. Typical european display is "04 May 2008", distinct from the typical U.S. preference of "May 04, 2008". So if you have a full date, they can display with that user's preferences. Linking a year alone is pointless in this regime. Full details at

According to WP:CONTEXT, it is okay but not necessary to link stand-alone years. Basically, it's the same as any other link: if it contributes to the article, link it, but if it just clutters things up or doesn't provide useful information in the context of the article, don't. — Gwalla | Talk 17:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Well as you have noticed many of our lists do not include the name "List of...", but User:Gwalla has moved Current World Wrestling Entertainment employees to List of current World Wrestling Entertainment employees, citing that stand alone lists should be titled as such, per this should we revert back to how it was or rename all our lists {again}?--~ S R S~ 20:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Commoncase/Bloodstained_Memoirs
I am trying to put this article up on the main Wiki as an article, however I am being told it is not notible enough, and lacks references. From a wrestling background, I sincerely believe this project is very notible. And it also does have references - from written publications and respected wrestling news sites (PW Torch, NoDQ etc).
I posted my case on the deletion review board with mixed results.

Does anybody have any advise?
Thank You! Commoncase ( talk) 14:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Rob, thanks. Perhaps you could also post in the deletion review (link above) stating you think it is notible. SO an admin will hopefully put it back in the main Wiki. After all, it does have references as it stands. I just get the feeling there is a bias towards wrestling there : ( Commoncase ( talk) 11:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
In the Raw, SD!, and ECW page, under the champions section, one of the table columns reads "championship" but the championship reads "WWE 'Champion'", but why doesn't it list "WWE championship", as the title of the column states?--~ S R S~ 03:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I think that to go along with the page name changes recently in the roster pages, we should list employees by their real name with their alias in parenthesize. It's a list of employees, it should read:

I'd also like a few people to watchlist Ashley Massaro. She was linked to a high-priced escort service in an article from Rolling Stone so expect vandalism.

Quote from Gerweck.net:
There appears to be a second Ashley Massaro (the second, a bikini model out of Las Vegas), which might very well mean that WWE's Ashley Massaro may be a victim of mistaken identity, in regards to the Rolling Stone article regarding an escort service.
So it might not be WWE's Ashley after all. I suggest reverting on sight as a result. She issued a statement at http://blog.my space.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=61214741&blogID=389555575 (remove space; it triggered spam notice) about it. D.M.N. ( talk) 10:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm starting to find the "give your notice and wait a week" before nominating an article for GA rule pointless. I think that if an article goes through Peer review, has a to-do list completed, or a pre-GA review completed, it should be able to be nominated right away, or a day after maybe. Whne giving one week notices, the threads generally tend to get no responses anyway. Thoughts? iMat thew 20 08 14:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, when you nominate an article, you generally don't want to wait months until it gets reviewed. A page gets plenty of vandalism over a day, rather than months. iMat thew 20 08 16:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I usually try to do GAN pre-reviews, as well, but lately I've had a lot to do in real-life (finals and such) and also had to stop altogether to keep my sanity. I think instead of a cap for the project as a whole, we should do individual editor caps. I like to only have one of my articles nominated at a time, but some people (not naming any names) have three or four at a time sometimes. Maybe we should do a cap where one person can only nom two articles max at a time, so when they are reviewed, they can add another one from their own personal waitlist to GAN. Also, that would make it fair in case one or two people always fill up the noms, and other people with quality articles can get their's on GAN, as well. Nikki 311 18:01, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I havent had the time to check all the revisions, but either some major vandalism/tests happened... or it's just been at a bad state for a while. Are all of those ring names even confirmed? Some information on his past (before TNA) is needed as well. Go to Chris Parks to see what I'm talking about. RobJ1981 ( talk) 10:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I cleaned it up the best I could, but the article still needs to be trimmed down. It goes into way too much detail in several sections. I don't watch TNA, though, so I'm hesitant to trim it down myself. I don't want to accidentally removed a really important storyline or something. I'd recommend watchlisting it for a few days to make sure the IPs don't mess it up again. Nikki 311 22:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I know I havn't been active lately, sorry, workj has been crazy. I wanted to point out that in the current events section of the newsletter, it is almost always all WWE info only. There was no mention of Samoa Joe defeating Kurt Angle to become TNA Champion, or Super Eric and Kaz winning the tag belts (even if for a brief moment) yet every little piece of WWE news gets mentioned. I have never helped with the newsletter before, but would be willing, if only to help with some of the non wwe stuff. Less Than Clippers 23:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

This article, which appears to have been deleted five times in the past (see the article's talk page), has been re-created. The only sources used are Obsessed with Wrestling (blacklisted) and Crawford's "official fansite". She seems to have accomplished a little since the previous deletion, but I am unsure if she meets notability requirements. Crawford was listed on the "Requested articles" page, and I think the article would be fine if it had proper sources (she has wrestled for OVW and FCW and held the OVW Women's Championship).

Is there some way we can shorten the article, because the KoR has had so many tournaments and the article is super long, is there a solution we can propose to shorten it, or make it similar to the Royal Rumble page?--~ S R S~ 01:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps we could move all the individual PPV results into their own pages eventually and on the main page keep all of the tournaments that have been held, regardless of them being at a PPV or not. If the article reads too long then it might be wise to just show the brackets as they contain all the relevent information (times, methods of win). Tony2Times ( talk) 22:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Due to the edit-warring over the past few weeks to do with the "Career Threatening match" sub-title in the article, I requested for the article to be fully-protected. The protection has been granted for a full week, by which time hopefully we should of come for consensus. My view is that it should be noted in both the "Results" section and within the lead, with the sub-title, however some editors disagree. Please discuss underneath, so we can come to a consensus that suits everybody. Regards, D.M.N. ( talk) 20:30, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
A possible argument could be that the match is conducted in the same way as a normal match and the retirement is just something that was on the line. There have been matches in the past where a retirement clause was added and no change was added to the listing in the Results. -- 13 of Diamonds ( talk) 21:05, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
We can all agree that a Belfast Brawl is just a fancy name for a No DQ match, right? That's why Hardcore Wrestling is linked to in the article. It's an accurate description of the match in question. Now look here. According to what we have, a retirement match is where the loser must retire, HOWEVER, the stipulation can apply to only one of the wrestlers. That too sounds like an accurate description of the match in question. So, just like Belfast Brawl is linked to Hardcore Wrestling, a Career Threatening Match should be linked to Retirement Match. Mshake3 ( talk) 04:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
With Belfast Brawl, doesn't the name seem unnecesary? It doesn't mean anything and the use of all these different names makes it confusing and not easy to understand. (perhaps even in-universe?) While the link does clarify that, it's a nuisance to a casual reader and the inclusion of the name doesn't further their (or even wrestling fans') knowledge of the match. --

I take it that the continued arguing about such a trivial matter means that the involved parties are determined to take this to WP:LAME and possibly beyond.

There you go guys your main supporter is a second grader. In all honesty while this isnt a huge deal if its gonna be in the wrestlemania article that it was a career threatening match then we have to go back and put it in to every article with Flair since November.

If you watch this youtube video of the countdown for this show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbxfjpovhXo it seems very clear to me that the name of the Pay Per View was WrestleVision, and that The Wrestling Classic was the name of the Tournament held on the Pay Per View.

As this discussion does not seem to be going anywhere, and it would be better if the community of Pro Wrestling would reach a consensus on this. On the World Wrestling Entertainment roster page, the page is called "WWE Roster", the wrestlers and other on air talent as stated by WWE's roster pages. But the Corporate Management and Other Personnel, IMO, should not belong on the page. If they are too belong, then we should rename the article to World Wrestling Entertainment employees.

I've recently seen multiple problem's with this section/table.
1. The fact that some article list it as a table and some as it's own section. It should all be a table, right?
2. Next, the capitalization. It is capitalized many different ways in different articles. I've seen:
Which one is it?
3. Next, the name. Is it Other On-Screen Talent or Other On-Air Talent, because I've seen both in different articles.
4. Next, does it begin in the middle of the background section or the top of the event section?
5. Should the table be show/hide? The benefit to that is that if the table is too large, it's automatically hiding. The bad part of it is that when you open it, the event section becomes very awkward. I think it would be better in the Results section or Aftermath, where it wouldn't do much damage because we don't put pictures in there.

Tell me I'm not crazy. I know I've read somewhere that stand alone years shouldn't be wikilinked. For example saying, Triple H won the belt in 2008 would be wrong, but if the month and day were there, such as Triple H won the belt on April 27 2008, it would be correct. I'm trying to find the guideline, does anybody know where it is? Nikki 311 13:16, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
The purpose of bracketing a date is so a logged in user's display preferences are used. Typical european display is "04 May 2008", distinct from the typical U.S. preference of "May 04, 2008". So if you have a full date, they can display with that user's preferences. Linking a year alone is pointless in this regime. Full details at

I am trying to put this article up on the main Wiki as an article, however I am being told it is not notible enough, and lacks references. From a wrestling background, I sincerely believe this project is very notible. And it also does have references - from written publications and respected wrestling news sites (PW Torch, NoDQ etc).
I posted my case on the deletion review board with mixed results.

Does anybody have any advise?
Thank You! Commoncase ( talk) 14:10, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Rob, thanks. Perhaps you could also post in the deletion review (link above) stating you think it is notible. SO an admin will hopefully put it back in the main Wiki. After all, it does have references as it stands. I just get the feeling there is a bias towards wrestling there : ( Commoncase ( talk) 11:31, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
In the Raw, SD!, and ECW page, under the champions section, one of the table columns reads "championship" but the championship reads "WWE 'Champion'", but why doesn't it list "WWE championship", as the title of the column states?--~ S R S~ 03:16, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I think that to go along with the page name changes recently in the roster pages, we should list employees by their real name with their alias in parenthesize. It's a list of employees, it should read:
instead of:
Any thoughts? It makes much more sense to me. iMat thew 20 08 19:46, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I still think the table would work better as well, but others think it's list cruft. iMat thew 20 08 20:19, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Uh, little help? The consensus is to list title changes the days they happen right? i.e. the day of the taping, not the day it aired? Cause if so, a few more people need to add the above ^^ to their watchlists. people insist on changing it to the air date, and I'm up to 3RR, even after adding in a hidden notice beside it. *Sigh* Anyway, reverting/watchlisting would be appreciated. ♥ Nici♥ Vampire♥ Heart♥ 23:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
I'd also like a few people to watchlist Ashley Massaro. She was linked to a high-priced escort service in an article from Rolling Stone so expect vandalism. Everything is sourced in the article at present, but watch for people adding unsourced statements. The article never explicitly stated she had sex for money, so make sure nobody adds that. Thanks.

Quote from Gerweck.net:
There appears to be a second Ashley Massaro (the second, a bikini model out of Las Vegas), which might very well mean that WWE's Ashley Massaro may be a victim of mistaken identity, in regards to the Rolling Stone article regarding an escort service.
So it might not be WWE's Ashley after all. I suggest reverting on sight as a result. She issued a statement at http://blog.my space.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=61214741&blogID=389555575 (remove space; it triggered spam notice) about it. D.M.N. ( talk) 10:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm starting to find the "give your notice and wait a week" before nominating an article for GA rule pointless. I think that if an article goes through Peer review, has a to-do list completed, or a pre-GA review completed, it should be able to be nominated right away, or a day after maybe. Whne giving one week notices, the threads generally tend to get no responses anyway. Thoughts? iMat thew 20 08 14:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, when you nominate an article, you generally don't want to wait months until it gets reviewed. A page gets plenty of vandalism over a day, rather than months. iMat thew 20 08 16:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I usually try to do GAN pre-reviews, as well, but lately I've had a lot to do in real-life (finals and such) and also had to stop altogether to keep my sanity. I think instead of a cap for the project as a whole, we should do individual editor caps. I like to only have one of my articles nominated at a time, but some people (not naming any names) have three or four at a time sometimes. Maybe we should do a cap where one person can only nom two articles max at a time, so when they are reviewed, they can add another one from their own personal waitlist to GAN. Also, that would make it fair in case one or two people always fill up the noms, and other people with quality articles can get their's on GAN, as well. Nikki 311 18:01, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
I havent had the time to check all the revisions, but either some major vandalism/tests happened... or it's just been at a bad state for a while. Are all of those ring names even confirmed? Some information on his past (before TNA) is needed as well. Go to Chris Parks to see what I'm talking about. RobJ1981 ( talk) 10:08, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I cleaned it up the best I could, but the article still needs to be trimmed down. It goes into way too much detail in several sections. I don't watch TNA, though, so I'm hesitant to trim it down myself. I don't want to accidentally removed a really important storyline or something. I'd recommend watchlisting it for a few days to make sure the IPs don't mess it up again. Nikki 311 22:32, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I know I havn't been active lately, sorry, workj has been crazy. I wanted to point out that in the current events section of the newsletter, it is almost always all WWE info only. There was no mention of Samoa Joe defeating Kurt Angle to become TNA Champion, or Super Eric and Kaz winning the tag belts (even if for a brief moment) yet every little piece of WWE news gets mentioned. I have never helped with the newsletter before, but would be willing, if only to help with some of the non wwe stuff. Less Than Clippers 23:41, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
