WWE Tag Team Championship

User:WikiFew continues to add the title change occurring on April 20 instead of April 17. I've tried talking to him but he continues to add this.-- bulletproof ^3:16 00:57, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Recent afd/prod deletions

TJ Spyke,

I was wondering if either you or someone from WP:PW might want to suggest to User:One Night In Hackney if he could consider notifying the author or possibly listing his deletions on the project's to do list ? I only mention this as I've had to both notify the authors and list the nominations on the to do list for over a month now. In the past few days, he's nominated Joey Machete, Marcus Laurinaitis, Candice LeRae and Carey Lloyd. I'm certainly not implying weither these nominations are warranted or not, however, a large number of wrestling articles are regularly deleted due to expired prod tags such as Maryland Championship Wrestling. I only noticed the nomination of Carey Lloyd, admittedly one of my own articles, though my watchlist. As he seems to be nominating wrestling articles at a regular pace, although on a small scale, I would think it'd be helpful if he could notify the project instead of someone running across a nominated article by accident. MadMax 16:40, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

For the record, regarding Cary Lloyd's article, I've generally created similar articles with basic verifible content rather than a more detailed article so as to avoid the BLP issues (although this specific individual is deceased). Had someone notified me, I would have gladly added additional sources as I would for any other article I may have created. Also, as Hackney has pointed out, I've moved formerly deleted articles I've created to my User space as other editors have done to provide sources and references to pass WP:BIO and WP:A. MadMax 10:33, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Deletions

Given the above editor's arguments at AfDs, to be honest the less potentially biased people !voting the better. I've seen a couple of AfDs recently where someone who clearly failed notability guidelines was kept because of some wrestling fans not being able to see a bigger picture notability wise, such as meeting WP:BIO as opposed to someone they think is notable. For the record being someone else's lackey doesn't suit you either. If you actually look at the articles I've proposed for deletion, there's not exactly much in terms of important irreplaceable content in any of them. I don't consider 4 sentence stubs with little possibility of expansion to be worthy of articles, as if the wrestlers were notable there would be more information available about them. If people want to waste their time creating a directory of stubs of every independent wrestler ever, I'll be happy to nominate them for deletion on a regular basis. We're talking about articles like this for the record, do you really think creating articles of that standard reflects well on WP:PW? Let's look at the version of Carey Lloyd I proposed for deletion shall we? Again, is that the quality of article you want? Now look at the current version of Carey Lloyd, sources have been added but no content. Don't you think it might have been a good idea if the article had been expanded at the same time? I'm sorry but I shed no tears for the loss of a four sentence stub on anyone, be they wrestler or not. If proper articles can be written they should be written, these stubs are just poor in my opinion. Would you rather have 300 good articles under the project banner or 1500 bad ones? Sorry if you take any of this personally as it's not really directed at you, but I hope you'll be receptive to the points I'm making. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 21:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem, do you want to discuss any of the points I've raised then? One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 21:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Care to check my judgement?

Allo.
Just needed a random neutral, and you were the first person I thought of (lucky you, eh?).
Anyways, this is about the DS Lite article. Specifically, the inclusion (or decision not to include) a section dealing with technical problems (basically just the cracked hinges).
Originally, I removed the section, explained here.
Eventually, it was re-added. You can read it here.
I removed it again here (and explained why in edit summary).
And there's now a discussion about it here.
Basically, here's my question: Am I being stubborn? Or should it stay out? Bladestorm 22:12, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Right, I'm confused

"The game was delayed extensively; Its original release date was somewhere in November 2005, until August 16, 2006, when Nintendo announced it would be released some time after March 31, 2006, because the development team needed more time to work on the game." - from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess#Development

Here's the sentence as it currently stands. What I see is a typo, and here's why: Its original release date was somewhere in November 2005, but Nintendo just lets that one go by all the way until August of 2006, when it announces the game will be released after March of 2006, which had already passed? I remember the game being delayed, in August 2005, until "sometime after" March 2006, and then further, to November 2006. But maybe I'm missing something. How does the above quoted sentence make sense? Thanks. --Herald Alberich 22:31, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I just re-read the sentence, you are right. TJ Spyke 22:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Asad Aleem

This guy is really starting to annoy me. User:Asad Aleem seems to be using Wikipedia as his own personal online encyclopedia. He has been creating many articles under his sub name about non-existing/fake subjects on Wrestling. He has also been creating hoax articles such as Qasim Tariq and Mega World Rumble (apparently a PPV Royal Rumble-like event featuring WWE TNA and ROH talent) among others. Oakster got that one deleted but this is really not helping WP:PW when we find hoax articles under the project’s name. -- bulletproof ^3:16 22:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

TNA Slammiversary 2007

I don't know if we should label the KotM match as a match for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, taking in fact that some Internet wrestling sites made sure that NWA and TNA are going to part ways and the NWA World and Tag Team titles are going to get dropped at Sacrifice. Even some promotions are announcing the beginning of tournament matches for the NWA World title. And the TNAwrestling.com article about the KotM announce the match as for the World Championship. Xbox6 21:18, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• OK, I'm agree with you, until the NWA or TNA made the announce, we should make the change. However, I can stop thinking that the NWA titles dropping will be as equal as when Shane Douglas won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and minutes later he dropped the title and annouce himself as the ECW World Heavyweight Champion. Especially with those videos:

• • [1]
  • [2]
  • [3]
  • [4]

Maybe this, or the NWA territorial wrestlers will "invade" TNA and will steal the NWA World and Tag Team titles. I'm just throwing balls. Xbox6 22:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Kemper Arena

Trust me it is not called and has never been called in tv commercials at The Kemper AreTheTruth2 00:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)na they always say Friday night at Kemper Arnea They don't say FRiday night at The Kemper Arnea http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2006/dec/09/ku_kemper_arena/ Today’s appearance in Kemper Arena will be the last for KU’s men’s basketball team. The Jayhawks are 79-24 in a building that opened in 1974. It’ll be replaced next season by the new Sprint Center in Downtown KC.

Do you see it is not called at THE it is called at Kemper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTruth2 (talk • contribs)

Do you see how you are trying to make it grammatically wrong? It doesn't sound right to leave out "the" either. TJ Spyke 01:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

The Arena Football League is coming to Kansas City. The AFL is expected to bring a franchise to Kemper Arena in 2006, and then move to the new downtown arena once construction is completed in 2007. The Kansas City marketing company, K.C. Arena Sports and Entertainment Group, has applied for a franchise and has received preliminary approval. Background checks on its investors will need to be done before they’re given the final thumbs up.

The AFL currently has 17 teams and hopes to expand to 20 in 2006. As it stands, there are three midwest cities with franchises---Chicago, Columbus, Ohio and Grand Rapids, Michigan. <copyrighted text removed - see WP:NONFREE Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)>

Great...

2 things I'm wondering about after what just happened on RAW 2 minutes ago. 1. What the hell were Kenny and Orton doing in the shower together? And 2. How many people will be vandalizing the WrestleMania 24 article over the next 335 after what Kennedy just did?-- bulletproof ^3:16 02:50, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

A user did it less than 1 minute after, so my guess would be lots (especially IP's). I put a warning, but you and I both know that the warnings are usually ignored. At least Kenny had his pants on, I would have been worried if he wasn't. TJ Spyke 02:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

{{ChicagoWikiProject}}

I am the Director of WP:WPChi. This is a newly active project. In order to quickly assess all the thousands of articles within the domain of the project I have created a list of categories that I am having a bot tag with {{ChicagoWikiProject}}. As you can see if an article includes the Category:Sports in Chicago it is tagged. What would make sense is that you might manually change the tag to {{ChicagoWikiProject|importance=low}}. This would indicate that only a very select few Chicagoans would attach significance to its role to a Chicagoan. As an encyclopedia, if an article wishes to have such a category, we should provide succinct information on the significance of it in such a way. Also, it might be the case that the WrestleMania events might even have a importance=mid attached to them because of the size of the Wrestling fan base in Chicago. I think this is correctly tagged within our project. Let me know if this is a problem. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 05:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Problem is... there's never been a WrestleMania in Chicago. 2,13, and 22 have all been held in Rosemont.-- bulletproof ^3:16 05:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Your comments toward me at the VG project talk page

Please assume good faith when dealing with other editors. See Wikipedia:Assume good faith for the guidelines on this.

You have absolutely no right to to call my actions "immature" and telling me to "let it go" is also rude. I have every right to continue it if I want to. As you can see now: others are clearly against the Wii Points. RobJ1981 22:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I said it was immature because it was only a few weeks ago that your request was overwhelmingly defeated and you admitted that you are not gonna give it up. I have a feeling that if your latest request fails, you are just gonna do the same thing again in the future. TJ Spyke 22:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

10 - 1 in a 9 hour straw poll is not 'overwhelmingly defeated', since wikipedia is not a democracy. DarkSaber2k 22:57, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Exactly, Wikipedia is not a democracy, clearly explains it. Calling it "moot" (as you did on the talk page) doesn't change things either. Articles can and are changed all the time: one discussion doesn't decide "Forever, Wii Points are listed on these pages". I dont understand why you think one discussion determines that. RobJ1981 23:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

It was NOT a "9 hour poll". The poll was never closed, people just chose to stop replying. TJ Spyke 23:04, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

The poll is moot anyway, since wikipedia is not a democracy. Potentially controversial subjects like this are resolved through discussion, not straw polls or ignoring what other people have to say. DarkSaber2k 23:13, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Don't put words in my mouth. Where exactly did I say I would keep trying? All I said was "I'm not going to let it go" (a little after I had started the discussion, BEFORE anyone but you could respond TJ). If you would've ASKED, instead of assuming you would know what I meant. All I meant by that comment was: I wasn't going to just end the discussion and let the article remain as it is, before anyone could discuss it. A poll doesn't determine an article's fate forever, so I started up a new discussion about it. I had every right to start a new discussion, I think you need to respect that. Articles always change on Wikipedia, that's not a new concept. RobJ1981 23:29, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I apoligize, but anybody would assume the same thing by you admitting that you aren't going to let it go. You can disagree with something while letting it go. TJ Spyke 23:36, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

No one is saying it's called "The Kemper Arena". The correct grammar is to include "the". Even most of the sources you pointed out used "the" (or similar words). TJ Spyke 05:08, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Does it say THE Kemper arena anywhere?

Brigade loses close one to Colorado By TEREZ A. PAYLOR The Kansas City Star Missed opportunities doomed the Brigade the last time they faced Colorado, and it happened again Friday as Colorado made enough plays when it mattered to hold on for a 45-42 victory at Kemper Arena on Friday.

AS YOU CAN SEE EVENT X HAPPENED AT KEMPER ARENA NOT AT THE KEMPER ARENA TheTruth2 05:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC) Twice in that week-two game, the Brigade failed to score inside the Crush’s 10-yard line, and it ended up making the difference. Coincidentally, the Brigade suffered from an inability to capitalize on its red zone chances in the rematch. Trailing 31-28 in the third quarter, the Brigade turned the ball over on downs when fullback Dawan Moss was stopped on fourth and short inside the Crush’s 5-yard line.

The defense stepped up to make a defensive stop, but it was wasted when Brigade quarterback Raymond Philyaw threw his second interception of the game on their next possession. Colorado took advantage, scoring another touchdown and extending its lead to 38-28 early in the fourth quarter.

The Brigade blew another opportunity inside the Crush’s 10-yard line when receiver Charles Frederick fumbled the ball on the next offensive possession. However, the Brigade’s defense came to the rescue once again and forced another stop, and receiver Boo Williams caught a touchdown pass late, cutting the deficit to 38-35.

However, it was too little, too late. The Brigade failed to recover the ensuing onside kick. A touchdown catch by Crush receiver Brad Pyatt iced the game with a minute left.

The Brigade, 4-4, will try to regroup for their next game, when they travel to Philadelphia to face the Soul, 4-3.

CASE PROVEN AGAIN

Entertainment > Columnists > Hearne Christopher, Jr. Saturday, May 5, 2007 Hearne Christopher, Jr. Posted on Fri, Apr. 27, 2007reprint or license print email Digg it del.icio.us AIM COWTOWN CONFIDENTIAL Who will bring the shows to Kemper? It’s official; the local entertainment jury is still out.

Stockyards businessmen favor keeping Global Spectrum large and in charge at Kemper Arena to avoid possible conflicts of interest with Sprint Center operator AEG. Others seem less certain, and the outgoing regime at City Hall favors AEG over Global to manage Kemper.

“By giving AEG potentially an exclusive at both venues, it’s like giving them TIF money,” says concert biz veteran Marti Dolinar. “It’s saying these are your deals, do whatever you want that’s going to be in your best interest. The problem is it should not be about what’s in AEG’s best interest. It should be about what’s in the city’s best interest. And if I’m the city, I want two guys out there (working) to maximize the events at both of those venues.”

No matter what happens, longtime concert and sports promoting force Russ Cline says KC will be OK.

“Is it better to have the energy of two great companies (AEG and Global) working for Kansas City? I think a lot of people would say yes,” Cline says.

Then again, “The biggest struggle for Kansas City is not going to be over concerts, it’s going to be if we can get a sports franchise,” Cline says. “You always struggle when you have a market size like we have and you bring in a sport like hockey that’s not indigenous to our area. That’s when you feel good about having an AEG on your team.”

It’s vital that KC continue its relationship with concert biz leader Live Nation, promoters agree. But giving control of Kemper to AEG would put Live Nation’s smaller rival in charge of the three largest and most popular concert venues in the city’s portfolio.

Earlier this year AEG outbid promoter Jeff Fortier, who partners with Live Nation for the rights to put on concerts at the City Market, a 10,000-capacity outdoor venue Fortier co-founded. Later AEG used the venue to bid against Fortier and partners for shows this summer that were penciled in for other city-owned venues.

Venues Today editor in chief Linda Deckard sees pluses and minuses to having separate operators at the venues.

“One of the situations they ran into in Minnesota is the Target Center and the Xcel Center beat each other up,” Deckard says. “(But) in Los Angeles, AEG ran the Staples Center and the Forum, and the Forum felt underserved.”

Forum GM Gene Felling did not return calls for this column. The Forum is now run by SMG Worldwide Entertainment and Conference Venue Management.

Beaumont Club booker Jon Lunkwicz works with both AEG and Live Nation.

“Me, personally, I think it’s not healthy for one company to have an exclusive,” Lunkwicz says. “I think Kemper should remain neutral. Whether (AEG) says they’ll work with everybody or not, it puts other promoters in a position where they have to share their financial information with a competitor.”

Mayor-elect Mark Funkhouser’s take: “I don’t have an opinion on whether or not it ought to be Global or AEG,” he says of Kemper’s management deal. “But I’d like to explore all the options.”

If the current council and mayor OK an AEG deal, “I have heard that we could overturn some of this stuff,” Funkhouser says. “It’s amazing what all the stuff they’re trying to jam through here on the last session.”

Brigade on a hot streak KC gets its third victory in a row with a 52-41 triumph over Grand Rapids at Kemper Arena. By TEREZ A. PAYLOR The Kansas City Star Here’s something you didn’t see from the Brigade last year — a winning streak.

The Brigade won its third straight game on Saturday night, taking advantage of three Grand Rapids turnovers to beat the Rampage 52-41 in front of 11,288 at Kemper Arena.

The Brigade, 4-2, already has eclipsed its win total from last season, when it won a grand total of three games and failed to win even two in a row.

“We really need to win four or five in a row, but we’ll take three because that’s the number of wins we had last year,” said defensive lineman B.J. Cohen, who had a critical sack late in the game. “We needed to get out to a start like this so the people of Kansas City would give us another shot.”

The Brigade didn’t waste any time asserting itself against Grand Rapids. Raymond Philyaw, who completed 22 of 32 passes for 247 yards and six touchdowns, tossed his first two to Boo Williams in taking a 13-0 lead.

Williams’ fourth touchdown of the game, a 1-yard run late in the first half, gave the Brigade a 36-19 lead.

And at that point, it looked like the Brigade was on its way to routing the Rampage, a team that has lost two games this season by 29 points or more.

However, Grand Rapids rallied to make the score 36-33. It even had a chance to take the lead when it recovered a fumble by receiver Ira Gooch deep in Grand Rapids territory.

But the Rampage, which entered the game as one of the league’s worst teams in turnover differential minus-five), fumbled the ball away on its next two possessions, including once inside the Brigade 5-yard line. Those turnovers led to Brigade scores, as receivers Gooch and Cecil Moore each caught touchdown passes.

But Gooch, who caught nine passes for 115 yards and two touchdowns, paid for his last touchdown. The four-year AFL veteran was flipped over the wall in the corner of the end zone while bringing down the catch.

“I dropped a few earlier in the game, so when I saw it coming my way I knew I had to go get it,” Gooch said. “I’ve been around the league for a while, so I’m pretty good friends with the wall — even though I don’t like it.”

Grand Rapids had a chance to make a game of it late in the fourth quarter, when trailing 52-41, it faced a fourth and goal at the Kansas City 3-yard line.

However, any hopes the Rampage had of getting back into the game were ruined when Cohen dashed around the corner and sacked quarterback Chad Salisbury, forcing a turnover on downs.

The Brigade won despite struggling to contain Timon Marshall, one of the league’s most explosive return men. He only caught two passes for 21 yards, but Marshall returned eight kicks for 212 yards and a touchdown.

“I’ve got to give it up to him, he might be the fastest guy I’ve seen on any level, college or pro,” said the Brigade’s Denario Smalls. “He broke one on us, but we stopped him when we needed to.” —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheTruth2 (talk • contribs) 05:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

Brigade wins third straight By TEREZ A. PAYLOR The Kansas City Star Here’s something you didn’t see from the Brigade last year — a winning streak.

The Brigade won despite struggling to contain Marshall, one of the league’s most explosive return men. He only caught two passes for 21 yards, but Marshall returned eight kicks for 212 yards and a touchdown, his third of the year.

Every time he touched the ball, he had fans – and some players – holding their breath.

“I’ve got to give it up to him, he might be the fastest guy I’ve seen on any level, college or pro,” said defensive back Denario Smalls, who is a member of the Brigade’s kickoff coverage unit. “He broke one on us, but we stopped him when we needed to.”

The Brigade now have a legitimate chance to extend the winning streak to four on Saturday, when they go on the road to face a Nashville team that was 2-4 entering their game against Arizona. They’ll follow that up with another divisional and conference rival, Colorado, at Kemper.

But for now, the Brigade can sit back and enjoy something they haven’t before – a bona fide winning streak.

“It’s important for our team to get a feel for winning,” coach Kevin Porter said. “Putting a couple of wins in a row does a lot for our confidence. We’ve got a streak going and we don’t want it to end.” —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheTruth2 (talk • contribs) 05:33, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

question

so what would you call it At at Arrowhead stadium, at busch staidum, o or At the Arrowhead staium, At the Giants Staiumo at the Busch stium? or

At the Forum, At the Staplescenter, at the Metrodome or At Foeum, at Staples or at metrodome?

Think about it

it nte first example the first set is correct in the 2nd the first is correct

you see The does not alwyas have to be in front of the nname

i have lived around the KC area So i would know what it is called. You don't.

YOu are not alwyas right. you are wrong at times.

Trust me on this

Admit when you are wrong on this. quit being a jerk.TheTruth2 23:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I admit that I know correct grammar, I admit that I am not wrong about this. The correct way would be "at Arrowhead Stadium", "at Busch Stadium", "at the Staples Center", "at the Metro Dome". BTW, if that was your IP, you can be blocked for trying to evade the 3RR and continue reverting. I am wrong at times, but not in this case. I have even brought this up at the Grammar WikiProject (didn't even know there was one before searching for it). TJ Spyke 23:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

you are most def wrong on this case. You DO NOT LIVE IN THE AREA I have. It is not called at the kemper Arena never hs. all newspapers say at kemper arena like i have proved to you not at the kemper arena. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTruth2 (talk • contribs)

Find a respected user or admin who agrees with you. TIME magazine always capitalizes their name and so do many newspapers, that doesn't mean we do. TJ Spyke 00:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

i did find a poster go to the tak page of new years rev

why is it so hard to admit that you are wrong.?

look at all the magazines , tv, radio newspapers they all say at Kemper not at the Kemper. That there should show you that you are worn Why can't you just admit it?TheTruth2 00:08, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I said a user, not an IP which is most likely yours since his only edits have been to remove "the" from articles (and who started after you reached the 3RR limit yesterday). I am not wrong here, unless you are saying the English language is wrong too. TJ Spyke 00:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

That IP is not me So what you are saying is hundreds of editors and media are wong as well? Because you are right? What a joke

Also the articles i posted said At not the why can't you see that?TheTruth2 00:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

"Hundreds of editors"? I am only seeing you and an IP you claim is not yours (but who makes similar edits and only just started during this mess). I can present lots of media that use the correct grammar if I wanted. TJ Spyke 00:19, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

That cmoomment just proves you are wan idiot. And not paying attention Meida EIDTORS not wiki editors.TheTruth2 00:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

This coming from a guy that edits like this?-- bulletproof ^3:16 00:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

OWW Bot

I am not really sure how the bots work here, but if you could contact an admin to help us with getting a bot, or if you could do it yourself, or if you knew someone who knows how bots work, I think it would be best to get one to help us reverting all OWW links to their new website. Kris 00:39, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, hopefully we will get the bot! Kris 01:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Football/Soccer

I'm not too bothered about the usage of the term in Mario Strikers, but personally, do not see the need for a piped link there. Do not claim however, that it is "standard used for articles on soccer/"football" games here", which is a flat out lie. Unless you mean it is standard use to use the original term in the article, in which case, it is still grossly misleading. And contrary to your claims, we do not always just stick with the original contributor's choices, otherwise there wouldn't be things such as a Requested Moves procedure, would they? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.187.111.71 (talk) 11:35, 7 May 2007 (UTC).

Oh, he's stopped. He's blocked. However, do not edit war even with IPs about this sort of thing. You have violated WP:3RR. Take this as a 3RR warning; only reverting obvious vandalism exempts you from blocking, and obvious vandalism is "omfg cocks" and the like. This was a content dispute. Your possible ignorance of the 3RR relevence here is counting in your favor. ··coelacan 01:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Also, wikipedia:avoid the word "vandal", please. Edit summaries like this don't help. ··coelacan 01:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Virtual Console Edits

I couldn't help but noticed to changed the corrections I made regarding the descriptions of Nintendo's Virtual Console back to the original innacurate version. I assure you, the version you changed it back to is incorrect. "Virtual Console" games are only games from past consoles. The upcoming new games that will be appearing in the Wii Shop are considered "Wii Ware" games. Because of the Nintendo's very definition of the term "Virtual Console", no completely-new games will ever be released in that section. Nintendo even explains it on a page in the Wii Shop Channel. To view it, click on the text that reads: "The Wii Shop Channel is Now Open!". It clearly states that the Virtual Console section is only for retro games and new games will be in the Wii Ware section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.24.42.222 (talk • contribs)

Stop Vandalizing Articles

Stop vandalizing an article marked for deletion in an attempt to boost your hurt ego and get it deleted. Your conduct is immature and you need to get other hobbies in addition to being a Wikipedian because all your trolling and vandalizing is doing is sending out negativity which can come back to you in the form of, I dunno... Wiki-vandalz with proxy servers who'll do nothing but vandalize any page you're associated with. I don't really know though because I am new. Your personal conduct is immature.

"Respect is Earned"

I can understand you edited my first edit, but the 2nd edit should have remained, because it wasn't about Homicide and Aries being pulled from that particular PPV(which they were on the talent list for that event before being pulled!), but from ROH in general, for ALL upcoming events. -Andy Duke —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.118.124.103 (talk • contribs)

Stacy Carter

See WP:BLP, it applies to talk pages as well. If an article has been stubbed and protected, the last thing someone should be doing is posting the entire article on the talk page. All that was needed was a link to a previous version of the page. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 01:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

To clarify, I have no opinion about whether the article should be stubbed or not. However if it was been stubbed then protected by an admin per WP:BLP (rightly or wrongly), simply pasting the entire article on the talk page is inviting problems, and unnecessary as I've said above. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 01:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

In case you're interested, I did some work sourcing some of the material at Stacy Carter... and the page was unprotected and restored. I know Burntsauce has blanked some other pages, so I was just letting you know that it is possible to get them back. If you provide me with some of the names of these other articles, I'd be more than happy to help get them restored. Nikki311 17:40, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:1WWEWMXXII.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:1WWEWMXXII.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

TNA title

Simple question: What title did Christian Cage defend at TNA Sacrifice? The NWA had *already* stripped their title from him (that announcement is all over the Internet). The reality is that TNA now has a separate World Title, and there should be an article for it. By convention, it is (and will be) the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Instead of fighting this, let's get the article started and fleshed out. -- Robster2001 03:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

You're going to be fighting this all night and through the week. It would be easier to go ahead and create the articles as part of the WikiProject instead of reverting them all night (which will eventually get you blocked. TNA will have separate world titles -- they have to, as some kind of title was defended tonight on pay-per-view. I won't create the article again, but there are going to be dozens of attempts to keep creating it every time you revert it. You're in for a long night... -- Robster2001 03:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry! I thought I notified all the creators of anything I put prod's on. It was very un-intentional to not notify!!! Please excuse my mistake, it seems as though I missed a couple of people for a few articles. Hellswasteland 15:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Kurt Angle as champion pic

You said it was a spoiler pic, which means you might let it back onto the article after Thursday's airing. I wouldn't do it, as it's a copyrighted pic from this photo album:

http://mattboom.smugmug.com/gallery/2851460

Matt does a great job, and he's at every Impact Zone show. My point is be on the lookout for these images, especially if they say no copyright is given.

Unless someone wants to ask him for permission, of course. Mshake3 00:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I figured as much since I doubt TNA would post pics of their iMPACT tapings before it airs. It could be considered a fair use pic, but it would be great if the guy who took it was willing to release it under the GNU license. TJ Spyke 01:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

TNA Lockdown

As the PPV gimmick is that every match is in a cage there is no need for 24 blue links to a steel cage. One per section would be enough. Darrenhusted 02:38, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, being a fan of wrestling I would assume that one of J.R's famous quotes would be ok to use, considering that Daniels was left "battered & bloody" after the match. If it is not notable, then why IS it notable that Sonjay attacked Nash? Jay316 23:28, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Midna

It actually was discussed on her own page, and several arguments were put forth towards merging - the only against was essentially that Veran had her own page (which she doesn't), as well as that many more frequent characters, that also play a large role in the series, don't have their own page. Thus, I merged it.KrytenKoro 07:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
