Titles

If you're talking about wrestling, you should forget about other promotions or other cases. The promotions decide the champion. WCW decided Daffney and Corwbar were co-champions. WWF decided Jericho and Chyna weren't co-champions. Also, Bryan defeated Orton at NOC and WWE recognized the title change. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 17:26, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But how do you know if the Daffney / Crowbar thing wasn't supposed to be just like Jericho / Chyna? Unrecognized co-champs. Chyna and Y2J were recognized as co-champs, but it wasn't an official reign. The co-champ thing was official, just that co-championships don't give you a reign in the history books. WCW had no official title history, so who will ever know? And yeah, WWE recognized Bryan vs Orton, but not Holly vs Jarrett. But it's WWE so I should stop thinking that everything has to make sense I guess. Do you know who to contact if I want to tell the wwe.com staff to fix some things in their title histories? They forgot to include 4 US title reigns and botched some things (D-Lo Brown was referred to as "her") WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 21:56, 19 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sources. As I said, Isn't a good idea to find similar events. 1 Daffney and Crobwar appears at WWE.com as co-champions, period. 2. Yes. WWE recognized Bryan Orton, but not Holly Jarrett. Period. 3 WWE didn't forget to include any titles. WWE doesn't recognized that title changes, like Flair as 16/22 world champion. However, I suggest to talk with other user. I'm European, so other users will explain the situation better than me. I suggest User:McPhail or User:GaryColemanFan. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 18:10, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But the forgot to recognize these 4 reigns. I know all about Flair 16/22 and they didn't forget anything in that case. But they obviously forgot the 4 US title reigns. Reign 1 ends on July 26, reign 2 starts 6 months later. And the 6 month gap? It was a Valentine and a Flair reign that they just forgot to add. There was no controversy at all, no need for a 6 month vacancy or anything... just look at their US title history and click at the reigns before and after the 4 lost reigns. (Blackjack / Paul Jones and Flair / Valentine). WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 11:43, 24 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Relax, man. Take a moment and breathe. Don't be so obsessed over WWE. You can't win every battle. If they don't want to help themselves, your efforts simply go to waste.

Reference basics

So since you were open to me giving you a few pointers here are some basics that I have picked up while messing around on Wikipedia for years. First of all I am not sure how well versed you are in wikipedia formatting so I will try to start with some basics. Okay so you're at a point where you've found a source to support something stated in an article on Wikipedia, this is where the references come in.

All references should be enclosed by the "ref" tag as shown below

<ref>This text here is considered the actual reference</ref>

Anything inside those tags will show up at the bottom of the screen in the reference section, indicated by the {{reflist}} tag at the bottom of the page, hopefully articles will have those, if not then it's in worse shape than you'd think. Anyway as a bare minimum people can throw a url inside the ref tags if nothing else, those can later be cleaned up by someone else if need be, but at least you have indicated where you've found the reference. You can also chose to add the article title etc. to help make for a better reference. There are three basic types of format you can use

Bare url - looks like this <ref>http://www.google.com</ref>
URL & Title - looks like this <ref>[http://www.google.com Google it]</ref>
Use of citation template - looks like this <ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.google.com | title=Google it! | publisher=Google | accessdate=July 1, 2015}}</ref>

Each of those is progressively better, if you are comfortable with it use the "Cite" version, that is the standard we're trying to set and the standard needed for any articles that would be listed as "Good Articles", "Featured Articles" or "Featured Lists". It is a little more challenging to get those right but it's not too complicated. Each type of source has it's own template, you can Cite a website, Cite a book you have, Cite a print newspaper, magazine or newsletter you can even Cite a DVD for a quote or cite an episode of a TV show. They all work basically the same, the links will give you additional information if you need to but here are the main points

Always start with {{cite web|, {{cite book|, {{cite news|, {{cite AV media|, {{cite episode| depending on your source
Seperate all data with a | sign
If there is a url add it as url=http://www.google.com
Add the title of the article, book, newspaper article ect. name=Google It
If you have a link to it, you can also indicate what day you looked up the article, content can change over time and it's good to indicate what day you're citing accessdate=The day you read it (Should not be included for citations without urls)
If there is a date on the article, book published date etc. indicate that date=June 1, 2000
Do you know who published the article? Put in it there publisher=Google Inc.
If you know the author put that in too author=Lastname, first name
Always close with the }}</ref> tags
<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.google.com | name=Google It | accessdate=July 1, 2015 | accessdate=June 1, 2000 | author=Apple, John}}</ref>

There are more options to add but to begin with I believe this will cover it, if not just ask me.

Note - Everyone makes mistakes, I make a ton of them on citations, that's why I always try to preview the article before I post it to ensure I did not mess anything up, look both at where in the text you added the citation and at the bottom in the reference list. There are a number of controls built in to ensure you have the right format for dates etc.

And don't be afraid to try, if it breaks something you can just revert out of it - that's the beauty of Wikipedia. One more thing, if you want to use the same reference for multiple things on a page you do not have to copy the whole thing, this is where a "named reference" comes in. Basically a named reference starts like this <ref name=RefX>{{ and then later on when you need to use the same reference again just put <ref name=RefX/> and that's all it takes to repeat a reference.

I hope this was helpful? MPJ -US 20:41, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism question

So are you referring to this edit where someone said vandalism? If that's the case then I think you read it wrong. the edit was reverted back to your version because the subsequent edit was considered vandalism. MPJ-DK 23:23, 29 November 2016 (UTC) Oh my bad, thanks. But why does the revision history in the link you sent me just show that someone changed the name "Death" back to Shelton Benjamin, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns? It says nothing about November 18 being changed back to November 16. Where can I find that?WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 11:46, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Valentine U.S. title reign correction

I just noticed that you got WWE to correct it by tweeting them. That's pretty awesome and thanks for that. Maybe we can just tweet them the list and they can compare and make corrections where necessary. Probably be easier if they had an email contact. --JDC808 ♫ 04:30, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I tweeted them again but they haven't tweeted anything for weeks now. But yes, someone should tweet them the list. I'm gonna continue tweeting them single mistakes with a screenshot that has all the information they need. I have to make it as easy as possible for them, they are super lazy when it comes to title histories.WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 23:01, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.
