Template:WWE Superstars

A user has taken the liberty to add a few additional RAW personalities to the Superstar list. I dunno how everyone wants this template to look, but I don't think Grisham should be included (not a superstar) and Austin's name (if included) shouldn't be listed as just Stone Cold. I figured I'd bring this to everyone's attention instead of editing this myself without discussing it with the template creators. --Endless Dan 13:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, people seemed to think it was already too big. Now it's bigger. I can't say that I see it as a step in the right direction. Like I said before, though, I rarely visit articles about current wrestlers, so I'll go with the consensus on this one. GaryColemanFan (talk) 15:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I think "Stone Cold" should be changed to "Steve Austin". That's his more offical name. As for Todd Grisham: his name should be kept. He is a WWE superstar, like the other non-wrestling people also on this template (Michael Cole, Vickie Guerrero, Tony Chimel, Joey Styles, etc.). The Chronic 15:42, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I disagree. All the people you named are not Superstars. Tomayto/Tomahto though. We'll agree to disagree. I will leave it up to the WP:PW to decide on what to edit or what to keep though. --Endless Dan 16:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

You mean by ring names. Speed CG ^Talk 17:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

If your addressing me, no. I don't mean ring names qualify someone as a Superstar. Superstar was the term the WWF used to replace the term wrestler in the 1980s. So my definition of Superstar would be an in-ring performer. --Endless Dan 17:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

That was it. All I meant by their "ring name". Speed CG ^Talk 17:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Considering Todd Grisham has a RAW Superstar page, I'd say that probably qualifies him Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 19:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

WWE also used to have a page for Torriw Wilson's dog Chloe, and for Nacho Libre. TJ Spyke 00:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Who rightfully never had Wikipedia articles to begin with. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 00:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

My proposal is to only add WWE employees who have a superstar page as apart of their "brand" (excluding referees).TrUcO9311 (talk) 22:03, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Rory McAllister needs to be on the list. Feedback ^☎ 02:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I still disagree with the term Superstar applying to Grisham or announcers as per my reasons above, but that's neither here nor there. To help reduce the size of the table, why not eliminate the 'Inactive' sections of the table. Is it that vital that someone see this on the table? If someone reads (for example) Lashley's article, it will note that he is out of action. --Endless Dan 14:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't see what everyone means by the table being "too big" or anything. It is a little crowded, but it's no bigger (matter of fact, it might even be smaller) than the templates used for the rosters of every sports team with a wikipedia article. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 15:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

What sports team templates?«»bd(^talk _stalk) 19:09, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The roster templates for every NFL and MLB team. Just go to any of the articles (oh, I don't know, Atlanta Falcons, Chicago White Sox, Tampa Bay Rays) and you'll see what I mean. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 20:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

You mean things like this, which are in the middle of one or two articles and not meant to be on the bottom of 98? Bad comparison. There's simply no reason for a half page size box to exist on every single wrestler's article just to link back to every other wrestlers article. If you want to make that kind of template for it's legit use, putting it on the WWE or specific brand articles, that would make much more sense.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 21:57, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Then let's do that. I was really just comparing the tables themselves on a one-to-one basis. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 01:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Compare the Shannon Sharpe or Jeff Saturday articles. They have compact, hide-able, templates linking 68 articles of specific important times. They don't have current roster lists, because there's little reason for it.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 22:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

New article: No Way Out (2005)

What the title says. This means that the '05, '06 and '07 editions of No Way Out all have their own article. If anyone wishes to complete the No Way Out set and create '00, '01, '02, '03 and '04, please do. :) Davnel03 07:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

UNfortunately though the creator has not edited the article for a whole week. Could someone possibly take over and carry on creating it? Thanks, Davnel03 19:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I might just be stating the obvious here, but I've thought this for awhile and nobody else has brought it up. After any of the pay-per-views are fully expanded (I'll use No Way Out as an example, so years 2000-2007) we should take the old article that used to have all the results (WWE No Way Out) and turn the dates/venues part into a Featured List. We might even be able to make some of the pay-per-views into Featured Topics. Just a thought that might help with motivation. Nikki311 19:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I like this idea. Due to the fact I am currently working on 2006's Backlash. I say we go with this. Zenlax ^{T C S} 20:10, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I like it (running to WWE One Night Stand to test it) Davnel03 16:16, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Anyone like it? Davnel03 16:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Stub article improvement

I think this project has done a great job lately with the focus on Good Article and Featured Article/List development. We've made significant progress in this area. One thing that I've been thinking about, though, is that we still have 779 stub articles (that are not likely to be chosen at Collaboration of the Week). I was thinking that it would be nice to challenge ourselves to see if we can improve a certain number of articles from Stub Class to Start Class by the end of the year. I was thinking of something like 15 articles. I was looking through some of the stubs, and quite a few stood out as articles that would have adequate resources for improvement or might already fit the criteria for Start Class. A few that stood out are:

• Adrian Street
• Bill Apter
• Dewey Robertson
• December to Dismember (1995)
• Doug Gilbert
• Ian Rotten
• Ivan Putski
• Jim Crockett, Jr.
• Koji Kanemoto
• Million Dollar Corporation
• Money Inc.
• Moondogs
• Oliver Humperdink
• Rocco Rock
• Sika Anoa'i
• Ted Arcidi
• The Pitbulls

I thought that if we had a place to show our progress (eg. a subpage, or making a list here and crossing out the ones that get promoted), a few people might be interested in helping trim the number of stubs. What do people think? Is this a worthwhile endeavor? GaryColemanFan (talk) 21:10, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I think this a good idea. I'll help, as soon as I can (around Dec. 14, as that is when my semester ends). I think a subpage is a good idea. We could have one that is similar to the PPV expansion page. Nikki311 21:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

What Nikki said, I'm really busy with school till Mid December. But I think this is a great idea! --Naha|^(talk) 16:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Wrestling Pay-Per-View Events

Whoa, I am busy like I dont know what with No Way Out (2004), List of WWE Hardcore Champions, and now the article above.

1) Should I move this article to List of professional wrestling pay-per-view events? 2) Should I make a big sort-table and put all the PPV's there? 3) Should I list other Indy-Promotions PPV's?

Thanx. --TrUcO9311 (talk) 05:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I do think it should include PPV's from other companies, and maybe moved. TJ Spyke 11:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

How do you sort the months in order in the sortable tables? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truco9311 (talk • contribs)

This works: {{sort|01|January}}. There may be an easier way since you'd figure month sorting would be a fairly common task but this will get the job done. - DrWarpMind 21:56, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

If we keep Wrestling Pay-Per-View Events, what should we do about List of WWE pay-per-view events, List of WCW pay-per-view events, and List of ECW pay-per-view events? It's redundant to have all four when we could just have one. Nikki311 17:39, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

They could be like subcategories. The TNA and ECW ones are pretty bad, but the WWE one is pretty well done. TJ Spyke 22:25, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Ok The article is taking shape go check it out. Comments here.--TrUcO9311 (talk) 00:28, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Is "Unactive" a word? I think "Inactive" would sound better. TJ Spyke 00:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, when I typed it there were no was no red underlining indicating a false word, but I will change it.TrUcO9311 (talk) 00:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It might be a real word, it just sounds odd to me and I think Inactive sounds better. TJ Spyke 01:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Project Notification: WWE One Night Stand for FL

Just to let you guys know that I am planning to nominate WWE One Night Stand for FL status tomorrow night. Before I do, can you have a quick look at it and fix any typos or ref errors, dead links etc. Thanks, Davnel03 09:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Is One Night Stand even eligiblefor FL? Feedback ^☎ 17:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the article is too short for FL. Feedback ^☎ 17:55, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

One Night Stand is eligible for FL now that all the PPV's under the One Night Stand name have been split. And there isn't a criteria at FL that says it must be so long. "It's too short" really isn't a valid oppose in my opinion. Davnel03 21:25, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Triple H article

I got a chance to do some copyediting on this article. There are a couple of things that I don't think are very clear in the article, though, that I'm not sure how to fix:

• "Hunter won when Chyna interfered after blinding Slaughter with a powder shot to the face." - how would a casual reader know what a "powder shot" is?
• "Triple H worked a program with Mick Foley in early 2000..." - is there a better way to say this that a non-wrestling fan would understand?

And on a similar note, although not related to this article, is there a description of what a six-man match is in any article? I often find that I'd like to include a wikilink to clarify what the term means, but I don't know where I would link it to. Thanks.GaryColemanFan 18:05, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Hunter won after Chyna threw powder into Slaughter's eyes, (kayfabe) blinding him and allowing her to freely interfere in the match.

You could link program to the feud article, or explain earlier in the article that a program is the same thing as a feud. (HHH feuded with Y, their program involved...) That should keep you from having to use the same word over and over again.

For the six man thing, there's Multi-competitor match variations on the match types page if it's a singles match. The tag team match types could probably use a specific subsection on six-man tag matches though.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 19:31, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Would it be a good idea if I included details in the McMahons verses HBK and God match for Backlash, where Vince informed the referee to "check" God for foreign objects and his actions before the match? I need some suggestions. Zenlax ^{T C S} 20:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Probably. However, you need to make it pretty clear that "God" was not in the ring, it was invisible. Davnel03 09:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

...or that "God" was nothing but a spotlight. The Chronic 15:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/In Your House 1

Could people from this project possibly support or oppose the above FAC, as at the moment, it only has 2 supports and 1 oppose. I've addressed all the issues raised so far, but it will be failed as it doesn't have a consensus at the moment. Can people please support/oppose the FAC otherwise it will be failed because of the lack of votes. Thanks! Davnel03 21:49, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I mentioned on the nomination page that I think the biggest thing holding it back is a lack of information on the Hart-Hakushi-Lawler storyline. If we could add a mention that the Hart-Hakushi feud began because Lawler accused Hart of being racist against Japanese people, and that Lawler then criticized Hart for ducking Lawler because he signed a match with Hakushi instead of Lawler, I could definitely support the nomination. I've been busy over the past week, but I've spent a little time looking for sources. I'll keep it up when I have a minute (and, if anyone here knows of a reliable source that describes this storyline, it would be greatly appreciated). GaryColemanFan 22:34, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Interesting edit to Vengeance: Night of Champions

An IP edited the article and removed all references to Benoit, so that "WWE would not get bad publicity. I thought it might be worthwhile to bring it up, as I recall a time when a IP Checker tracked edits to WWE Headquarters in Stanford. Just a heads-up, as if that is the case, they'll likely be back. The edit can be found here. [[1]]. Gavyn Sykes 02:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Defenses column

I've added columns to the ROH World Championship, ROH World Tag Team Championship, and ROH Pure Championship showing how many times each champion(s) successfully defended the title. I thought it was appropriate since it's often brought up in ROH's storylines and is something that can easily be tracked and verified. But I thought I'd let you all know, in case you all are opposed to it or something :p Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 10:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Sure, that works for ROH, since all title matches can be traced. Mshake3 (talk) 17:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I would note that if the community agrees to this, then we logically must add this to most puroresu title lists (such as IWGP World Heavyweight Championship). Personally I think it clutters things up a bit as it is now, though I wouldn't object to a cleaner-looking version. Maybe put it next to the "times" column? --MarcK 22:23, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't really see what benefits it has TBH. TJ Spyke 01:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, I don't think it's any less useful than the location a title change occurred. Dates of title changes are obviously useful, to compare reign lengths, but I think that's also where defenses comes in, in companies like ROH and Puros. It allows you to compare Samoa Joe's 20-month title reign where he made 26 successful defenses with Bryan Danielson's 15-month title reign where he made 38. I think it's useful, and like I said above for ROH (and puro - that might be even easier to track and verify) it's easy to back up. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 23:33, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Mshake3, you seriously need to read civil, because most of your comments just later have been personally attacking other users. I really believe that you need to think just what effect your comments like that have, I consider it trolling. All Trucco is (for ease of project communication) informing other members that he and LAX are working on Survivor Series 2007. It also gives other members notification sort of to go and check the article to fix links, avoid redirects and stuff. Mshake, your comment was entirely unneeded.

Young did defend it against Storm during the TNA Turkey Bowl (the Thanksgiving night edition of iMPACT), but you are right about it not being defended in a wrestling match. I doubt it would be defended in a match though since it's a beer drinking title. TJ Spyke 23:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I can't see the belt being defended in a wrestling match either. I'm hesitant to say it should be deleted straight-out, but don't think it has enough breadth to it to be considered an article. Maybe if it gets a bit more to it later. Is there anywhere else it can go in the meantime? --EnhancedDownloadBird ^(Upload) - 23:22, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree with all of you, it shouldnt have its own article. It should only be noted in Storms and in YOungs articles. Or in Storm's add a section entitled "World Beer Drinking Championship" or in that nature.TrUcO9311 (talk) 23:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Username change

Davnel03 has changed his username to D.M.N.. The Chronic 23:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I have indeed. You guys can still refer to me as Davnel03 (my sig will not change). I simply changed my username for reasons outside Wiki. Davnel03 16:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: If anyone sees my username going to Davnel03, could you direct the link to D.M.N.? Do not though create a redirect from Davnel03 to D.M.N. as I would prefer this not to happen. Thanks. Davnel03 20:53, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Why did you request your old name be deleted? You might want to see if a bot can fix it because even using AWB could take a long time to replace all instances of "User:Davnel03" with "User:D.M.N.". TJ Spyke 00:12, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I probably will see if a bot can fix it. Why did I change my username? This page will give you an idea. All IPs in the 84 - 86. range know me. Deleting all redirects will stop them from being able to see/have access to my account. Davnel03 21:47, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Tag-Team GA

Is there an article on a tag team which has GA status or B status. Because I want to work on the APA and I want a point of reference. TrUcO9311 (talk) 21:47, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

GA tag article and GAC tag article. Hope the links help. Davnel03 22:00, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Weeelll...I'm not sure if "my" article is the best for a point of reference since I sectioned it by promotion and not chronologically (APA would definitely be better chronologically, since as a team they're only known for working in one promotion). However, since Simmons and Layfield both had notable singles careers, to a certain extent even while they were a team, I would recommend giving finishing and signature moves for the team and for each man like I have in Briscoe Brothers. Tromboneguy0186 (talk) 23:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Brands on PPV articles

does it really make sense to list all the brands on ppv articles (beyond wrestlemania). I mean the whole company is featured. Shouldnt it be better like the 2001 PPV articles.TrUcO9311 (talk) 21:50, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I am not sure about this. Technically there are still different brands, even if they do join together for a PPV. When they first did the brand split they did the same thing they do now (all the brands participate on each PPV), but we still list RAW and SmackDown on each one. TJ Spyke 23:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Individual PPV Pages

I'm all for each PPV being given its own page, however does that necessarily mean we have to remove the card from the non-year specific pages. IE on the WWF Vengeance page it lists the PPVs from 2001 to 2008, yet the 2007 card isn't on the page because it has been moved. I'd like to propose the idea of keeping just the results on the page as well as having the detailed article seperate, much like International cricket in 2007 shows the dates and results of the matches, then the "see also" pages give individual scorecards, descriptions squads etc.Tony2Times 02:24, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I had done this before, but my edits were reverted. Feedback ^☎ 03:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

The standard is that the separate page for the specific PPV is created if: 1 - It is a major PPV (Big 4, like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, etc.). 2 - if the page is actually going to develop into a full article, like the FA December to Dismember (2006). The Chronic 03:48, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Forgot the standard, a change is being suggested. Personally, if we were to do that, I'd just want the match results. No information about how they won and all that. Mshake3 03:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think results should be listed for a PPV if it has its own article. If it's a page where not every edition has its own page, have a link only. If every edition has it's own page (like the big 4 all do), just have a table with links and have the page be info on the PPV series in general and maybe some trivia (like how Super Bowl has various trivia). TJ Spyke 04:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Mshake3 on this one. If it has an article, use only match results with no extraneous information. Include a "Main Article:'" link at the top of the section. This way there is still continuity in articles that include expanded articles. Keeping continuity is a wonderful thing. However,as TJ Spyke said, if ALL the articles in the series have separate articles I agree that there should just be links to the separate ones. Other opinions? --EnhancedDownloadBird ^(Upload) - 02:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm assuming this current trend of a full page for each PPV with its build up is intended to be done to all, or as many as possible, PPVs. If this does happen then it seems really pointless to me to have a page, like ECW December To Dismember that merely lists the years the PPV took place and where; I'd rather do without the pages altogether aside from ones like WrestleMania or Royal Rumble that have a long and gimmicked history. I think it'd be far better to have, as was suggested, the card results without details (perhaps with the poster and template box to add a little colour) listed with links to the main article.Tony2Times (talk) 04:21, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I also like the idea of keeping the bare minimum results until all the years are created for a certain pay-per-view. I think the goal should be to create all the years, and then turn the main page into a description with a list of the events (see WWE One Night Stand for what I mean). While, One Night Stand is apparently too short to be a Featured List, I think some of the pay-per-views have enough years to them that they might be able to reach FL status. Nikki311 04:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

I actually meant to keep the bare minimum results regardless of the PPV having its own year page on the basis that the specific page will have build up, show and aftermath details as well as card with bullet point details afterwards. I'm suggesting having a link to those pages but also keep a single page that lists the card and the info box for all the years of a PPV.Tony2Times (talk) 13:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Request for help

I've been working on the Royal Rumble article in my sandbox. I've got the list of venues, dates, winners, entry numbers, etc. etc. all sourced, but I'm having trouble sourcing the rules, match description, and effects of the brand extension. I've got the bare bones of it done, but there are a lot of rules and exceptions to rules that aren't sourced or deleted entirely.

Good Article review question

I nominated Royal Rumble (1994) for a Good Article review a while back. A user began the review, but it's been 13 days and nothing more has been said. Is it acceptable to post a polite message on her talk page to ask how the review is going? I appreciate someone being willing to do the review, and I don't want to seem pushy. I'm just concerned that, after two weeks, she might have forgotten about it. Any opinions? GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I noticed that and meant to ask you whether you've contacted her. It is definitely alright to leave a message on her talk page. If she doesn't answer within a few days, leave a comment on the Good Article Candidate page (under where she posted that the article was on hold) asking for someone else to review the article and the reason. Nikki311 03:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Copy-Edit Request

In Your House 1 has had its FA candidate failed, with many reviewers listing a ton of problems. I would therefore like to request if several members of this project are willing to copy-edit the article for me, as there seems to be several major problems with it. Cheers, Davnel03 16:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll look over it again when I have a little time. Since a lot of the issues brought up are related to "in-universe" issues and wrestling jargon, I also think that listing it at Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors/Requests would be very helpful. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:10, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

PPVs to nominate for GA status?

Now that Royal Rumble (1994) has been promoted to GA status, I was wondering if anyone is waiting to nominate another pay-per-view article. I posted notice a while back that I was planning to nominate Royal Rumble (1994) and King of the Ring (1994) for GA reviews. If someone else is waiting to nominate an article that they've been working on, though, I'm willing to wait. I have very little time for Wikipedia right now, so I'm in no hurry.

• I don't see many problems with 411 (or PWInsider) - nothing obvious flies in the fact of WP:V and WP:RS - they have news, they make editorial commments and show results/reviews.

Just as a note, I came across this through a WQA request. Here is my comment. The citation in question, [2], is a blog entry. Note that the entry was "posted" by a username and not a journalist, and that it was credited to a more authoritative news source. Cite _that_ source if it meets WP:V, WP:CITE, etc. (PWInsider.com).

Royal Rumble (1994) now a Good Article

This article was passed as a Good Article today. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the article and/or gave feedback. It helped quite a bit.

With that said, the reviewer did add the following: "Does require another couple of images to say, illustrate a "casket" match and the even poster would be good as other wrestling PPV articles have them. I shall pass the imaes criteria now, but may re-assess as a fail if this is not rectified."

I'm fairly sure that it would be hard to find a Free Use image of the casket match, but if anyone knows where to find a Free Use or Fair Use picture of the match, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again, GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

The WWE website has some pictures that you might be able to use if you can dream up a suitable rationale. None of them are of a casket match, though. Nikki311 22:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I found a picture at http://repository.wwe.com/galleries/special_casket/images/02.jpg , but I'm not sure how to upload it and insert it into the article.

We shouldn't just cite any site's information. If not all articles could say: "[Any site] reported that John Cena killed himself after shoving a broom down Batista's throat". Any site can report false information. If we post information that we don't know if is false or true, then the articles can be full of lying information. Another example would be a MySpace page. How about if I hack Jeff Hardy'a MySpace page and write: "I have been released because I am too ugly." Is it true? NO. Can you prove it? NO. Should it be posted?

Help needed on current FL Candidate

I've been trying to address concerns brought up during the Featured List nomination of IWGP World Tag Team Championship. The poster said he or she wanted the first four columns sortable. I've figured out most of the process, but I'm running into trouble. Because of the way the dates are listed, it's not sorting them correctly. It also seems to be having trouble with empty columns (for example, clicking on the "Location" box gives an empty box at the top. Clicking on it again gives the title changes in Yokohama at the top, followed by 7 empty boxes). And apparently there's supposed to be something with a "sortbottom" command, but I couldn't get it to work with that included. Would someone who understands tables well be able to look at it? The Featured List candidacy is on its 11th day, so I'm trying to address the concerns brought up before the nomination is closed. Thanks. GaryColemanFan (talk) 21:32, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

It's because you have empty locations for some title changes. Find the locations of the title changes and vacations missing. If the vacations were not on live shows, but they were backstage (due to a release, suspension, etc.) then you can write: (N/A) [with parenthesis, so it goes to the bottom of the list].

Legit is just a shorthand term for legitimately anyway. It doesn't take that much effort to type the extra seven letters. It sounds better, looks better, and makes the writing more accessible to GA and FA reviewers to write it as "legitimately". Nikki311 17:10, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I think this article should be nominated as a Featured List. My biggest concern is that some people don't like Featured Lists without pictures.

and if some of these arent may you give me links to which I may use (other than Online World of Wrestling, and hoffco-inc)--TrUcO9311 (talk) 16:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I find Wrestling Information Archive very reliable. It's a great source of information, and I use it quite a bit. GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:39, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Lords of Pain, WV and Gerweck are definite no. All the rest are OK. The Angelfire link was dead, so I've replaced it with another one. Davnel03 16:45, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: While browsing the History of WWE webite, I found this very handy page for detailed results. Davnel03 16:49, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Another good one is SLAM! Wrestling. They have pay-per-view reports (esp. for more recent ones), wrestler bios, articles, etc. Nikki311 17:06, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the link to the list of PPV reviews is here. This is a really good resource for the pay-per-view expansions. Nikki311 17:08, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking of creating a page probably under the heading Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/PPVguidelines where there would be guidelines for people wanting to create PPV's, along with acceptable, and not acceptable sources. Opinions on that? Davnel03 18:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Agree-Thats a great idea, that way our articles can be more reliable.TrUcO9311 (talk) 18:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Most definately. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 18:29, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Agree, but I think it should be "Article Guidelines", for all bios, events, matches, championship histories, etc. Feedback ^☎ 00:42, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I've created the guideline page. I'll finish it tommorow (unless anyone wouldn't mind carrying on with it tonight!) :) Davnel03 18:52, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think Wrestleview should be a definite "no". They are a reliable source, and have been running for over 10 years. Kris (talk) 23:03, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Do they have any exclusive editors that break news? Mshake3 (talk) 00:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, and they do have sources within the WWE. Kris (talk) 02:54, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Every rumor site says they have sources at this or that company, that doesn't mean its true. TJ Spyke 02:59, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Awesome. Care to show some examples of their exclusive news? Mshake3 (talk) 02:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't have any off hand, but visit the site every now and then, you'll find them. Kris (talk) 14:45, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I'M BAAAAACK!

hello everyone! I'm back after a LOOOOONG wikibreak! How is everyone? What have I missed?The Pink Panther (talk) 23:53, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Well I dont know you but Im Kevin (or Truco) but youve missed alot like the expansion of PPV articles and improvements to here here here here and our FA AND ALOT MORE!!and all of our PPV's which you can see in the PPV Expansion article in WP:PW. Iight im out.--TrUcO9311 (talk) 00:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I've never heard of you...ever. But, welcome back! Let's see well:

1. Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Eaton, December to Dismember (2006) are FAs
2. Many GAs; go check them out on the project page
3. Obviously, the project has a new color: very very very very very very bright yelloworange!
4. We have a newsletter. See so in the Outreach section you can find in the NavBar
5. We have had many many many many discussions about important topics like Spoilers, Consensus, Policies, Sources, etc. (Check the archives, and the very long discussions would be the main ones)
6. PPV Expansion is new. It's a way to keep track on the PPV articles being divided. Yet I think it should just be "Article Expansion" and list all articles...
7. COTW is effective and going great!
8. We have created the FA Collaboration of the Month, which is a way to improve GAs into FAs periodically.

Legends Killed?

Mshake has brought up a good point in this. Is it really notable of these Legends actually being "killed"? Zenlax ^{T C S} 20:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I agree, its really not important or notable, however it should be noted somewhere that thats his gimmick and "if its really necessesary" to include a list of legends it should be only WWE Hall of Famers not people like Triple H. --TrUcO9311 (talk) 20:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't find it all that notable really. And what constitutes a legend being "killed"? Dusty Rhodes, Sgt. Slaughter and Mick Foley have all continued to appear after being "killed". Jerry Lawler has been a target of Orton but is there every week as the color commentator for RAW. I know Orton calls himself "The Legend Killer", but I don't see how listing a bunch of wrestlers he has attacked is noteworthy. TJ Spyke 23:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Well unless one of the legends is literally "killed" this is just useless to the encyclopedic value of the article, for example its inclusion would be like listing the ammount of people imitated by Eugene or spited by Carlito. - Caribbean~H.Q. 23:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

The term "Legend killer" does not refer that the wrestler is literally being killed. It refers to the "Legend of the wrestler" being killed. Obviously, because you cannot kill something abstract like a legend, the term would be a metaphor. And answering TJ's comment, I find the list notable because WWE finds it notable. They had a list of legends killed, until they had to get rid of it because of Chris Benoit's involvement in the section. Feedback ^☎ 00:10, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Even setting aside the notability of it, how do you determine who is considered a legend and when their legend was "killed"? You can't just have users here determine either one since that would be original research. TJ Spyke 00:13, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I could see the notability of the list if it wasn't anything more than just another spot. Wrestlers lose, wouldn't be much of a show if they didn't, they get jumped from behind, "beaten" down, left lying in the ring before being "helped" back by backstage personel, etc. All of those scenarios apply, at various times, to the legends Orton has "killed". I'd find the list notable if the legends he'd RKO'd never returned to the business. If they retired and it was played that Orton did end their career, that'd be a different story.Odin's Beard (talk) 00:24, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

New Featured list candidate

I have nominated AJPW Triple Crown Championship for Featured List status. I've seen it referred to as the most important championship in professional wrestling, and the article is well-sourced. If anyone has a chance to look it over, please feel free to do so. If you Support or Oppose the nomination, please give an explanation for your vote on the nomination page.
