Nominator(s): --WillC 13:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because... I nominated this once before but it didn't gain enough support to pass. Copyedited it real quick and decided to renominate it.--WillC 13:40, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comments - Not a lot in the way of issues but a few inconsistencies I think should be cleared up, for example how Slam Sports is stylized. "Afterwards, TNA ceased to recognize Angle's first title reign nor the vacancy for unknown reasons." I would think this statement needs some sort of source. Afro (Talk) 17:55, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree with Afkatk, this needs a source. And if this reign isn't recognized by TNA, than why does it have a number. If you see for example the title history of the WWE Championship, then this reigns don't have numbers in the first column. Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 23:32, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well the problem with List of WWE Champions was it was passed four years ago and goes by the in universe history rather than the factual history, which means it violates In-U. The reason the reign has a number is it can factually be proven it occurred and was recognized. It use to have a source to TNA's official history, but they remove the history to the title all the time. As such I cann't show they don't recognize it on their site anymore, or any other reign at that.--WillC 00:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Also fixed the slam problem afro.--WillC 10:37, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would suggest hiding the information or removing it until a source can be found. Afro (Talk) 16:11, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Might as well. Everything else is sourced and the article is factual. Only problem I've not been able to solved. Removed.--WillC 00:17, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "...were set to host their annual Sacrifice pay-per-view (PPV) event, in which the NWA World Heavyweight Championship was set .." set overdose.
  • "The ownership of the championship was decided" do you need "ownership of the" here?
    • Yeah somewhat, because of the special finish. Everyone was claiming ownership of the title.--WillC 16:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "it is won via a scripted" new para so reiterate here what "it" is.
  • "reigns that occurred on Impact!, usually aired on tape delay " grammar fail on this sentence, perhaps "Impact! are usually aired..."
  • "with 4." -> four.
  • "at 1 day" -> one.
  • " 15 reigns shared among 8 wrestlers, with 2 vacancies" -> fifteen, eight, two.
    • Well numbers below 10 are supposed to be written out rather than spelled. And according to the MoS I believe there should be a consistency in writing styles.--WillC 16:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Ah, but numbers you can spell with a single word are okay too... The Rambling Man (talk) 16:23, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • So really what is the point? Either way works.--WillC 16:38, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • Two of the numbers are below ten so it would look and read better (prose-wise) if you made all three numbers textual. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:15, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • Ehhh screw it, done.--WillC 11:23, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Col heading "Wrestlers" -> "Wrestler".
  • If you wikt link "vacated", why isn't "vacancy" linked anywhere in the notes? I see no point in the wikt link myself.
    • Linked the rest.--WillC 16:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Check ref titles - use en-dash not spaced hyphens (e.g. ref 35).

Support Nice read and I can't see any outstanding issues. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:34, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Support – Overall this looks quite clean. Just a couple minor things I spotted toward the end...

  • Footnote A: "wrestlers with the same number mean that they are tied for that certain rank." Can't put a finger on it, but something is bugging me about this. Removing "mean that they" leaves "wrestlers with the same number are tied for that certain rank." To me that sounds better.
  • The titles of references 8 (twice), 36, and 37 have hyphens that should be en dashes. This is admittedly very picky, but I've seen others mention this from time to time in various FLCs, including this one. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 22:25, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done both--WillC 04:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
