The WikiCup 2010 Ribbon of Participation | |
| Awarded to Wrestlinglover, for participation in the 2010 WikiCup. J Milburn, Fox and The ed17 09:01, 1 November 2010 (UTC) |
Just a little question
I know that the Immortal title is temporarily but why can't we at least have a page acknowledging it I also don't understand which template the belts fall under, Do I need TNA permission or top rope belts permission? Totalaero (talk) 22:51, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
RE: Kim as GA
Yay us! I was going to get to the GA suggestions tonight after work, but came home to see that it passed. I'll be busy for a week or two, and I'm kind of working on Eddie Guerrero in my sandbox whenever I get a spare minute...but when I'm ready to do Jackie, I'll let you know. :) Nikki♥311 05:45, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Sacrifice (2010).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sacrifice (2010).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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:41, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Hey
Pretty dramatic headline... my first thoughts when I saw it. I knew you weren't dead cause I read your comment about The Dark Knight Rises on Facebook which I was going to comment on it but I didn't. I know you're busy, I remember you telling me that that was bound to happen. I'm doing good actually, school wise I'm doing okay, here I'm a little off I've been slacking and not hurrying up on 30 Rock episode articles. Oh yeah, I've been stress free so no more what people are doing on Edge and Cena's articles, so. Other than that I'm doing real good. How 'bout you my good friend? What's up with ya? I don't need help with anything right now, I mean I'm not working on a hard ass project here. :) I'd be good to see you here again, working full-time, lol.-- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 15:48, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- Insomnia does make people do crazy things but drunk that's a different story. :) I'm not saying your drunk just saying that happens when someone gets drunk. Yeah, we are friends on Facebook, or unless I'm tripping out. Yup, that's my Facebook. Yes, for the first time in my life I'm stress free and doing well in school. That wasn't me ['Well I actually expected more stuff to be screwed up when I got back on here, but Cage's, Edge's, and the TNA articles didn't have much of anything wrong with them'] someone else. Ever since Edge went back to SmackDown I removed him from my watchlist cause I couldn't take the constant edits on his article, so. Yup, you told me you were homeschooled, and congrats on getting your GED. Hmmm, you sound like me cause after I graduated from high school I didn't want to go straight into college and wanted to take a year off but everyone was like if you take a year off you won't be motivated to do college and I was like yeah that's true, so. You are a hardworking kid lol. I'm into politics as well I'm minoring in Political science. That's good that you're interested in politics cause it's good to know what's going on with our government and with other countries. The only thing I'm working on is 30 Rockepisode articles, fighting vandalism, removing week-by-week, future matches, and removing speculation, that sort of stuff. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:13, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, we should talk on Facebook when you get the time. :) Nope, I don't watch them nor have I seen how Edge's article looks like cause I know I'll be tempted to fix "a problem". Dude, don't let others put you down ignore them. Ooh, Law and Business, nice. See, you a kind person cause you want to help when danger appears. Oh snap am I going to be friends with a famous senator? Yeah, totally if I need help on something you will definitely know. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:01, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
- Yay, you're back... I hope. Exactly, you live your life others don't live it for you. Yup, if someone gets me I gots to get them back, cause I believe in getting even. Well, I do insults only if insults are done to me. :P Oooh, that would be cool to do, I mean use their own weaknesses against them... like what Scarecrow does only I gots to look them in the eye instead of spraying them with fear gas. Oooh, a future politician then, I wouldn't mind being cool with a future [fill in the blank]. :) Oh wow, pretty strong views you have.-- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:57, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter
We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to
The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by 
Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to
Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, 
Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and
Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming forGrigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!
A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it onWikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Lockdown 2011 Theme
Im not trying to make this sound bad but can you at least just let the theme stay in till some news site pick it up You know well that TNA always post the official theme song in the videos and you know well TNA never had two themes for one PPV Totalaero (talk) 21:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
WikiCup 2011 February newsletter
So begins round two of the WikiCup! We now have eight pools, each with eight random contestants. This round will continue until the end of April, when the top two of each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers of those remaining, will make it to round three. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions) (first, with 487 points) and Hurricanehink (submissions) (second, with 459), who stormed the first round.
Casliber (submissions) finished third with 223. Twelve others finished with over 100 points- well done to all of you! The final standings in round one can be seenhere. A mere 8 points were required to reach round two; competition will no doubt be much more fierce this round, so be ready for a challenge! A special thanks goes, again, to Jarry1250 (submissions) for dealing with all bot work. This year's bot, as well as running smoothly, is doing some very helpful things that last year's did not. Also, thanks to 
Stone (submissions) for some helpful behind-the-scenes updating and number crunching.
Some news for those who are interested- March will see a GAN backlog elimination drive, which you are still free to join. Organised by WikiProject Good articles, the drive aims to minimise the GAN backlog and offers prizes to those who help out. Of course, you may well be able to claim WikiCup points for the articles you review as part of the drive. Also ongoing is the Great Backlog Drive, looking to work on clearing all of the backlogs on Wikipedia; again, incentives are offered, and the spirit of friendly competition is alive, while helping the encyclopedia is the ultimate aim. Though unrelated to the WikiCup, these may well be of interest to some of you.
Just a reminder of the rules; if you have done significant work on content this year and it is promoted in this round, you may claim for it. Also, anything that was promoted after the end of round one but before the beginning of round two may be claimed for in round two. Details of the rules can be found on this page. For those interested in statistics, a running total of claims can be seen here, and a very interesting table of that information (along with the highest scorers in each category) can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi Will. Unfortunately, the above FLC has not received any further comments since we last discussed it, so I will be archiving it as unsuccessful. Feel free to renominate it in 3–5 days for a "fresh start". Dabomb87 (talk) 21:11, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Genesis (2007) GA review
Just to let you know that I've completed the GA review of Genesis (2007) and placed it on hold pending resolution to some issues which I saw. Please see Talk:Genesis (2007)/GA1 or alternatively go to Talk:Genesis (2007) for details. Thank you, –MuZemike 00:51, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
WikiCup 2011 March newsletter
We are half way through round two of the WikiCup, which will end on 28 April. Of the 64 current contestants, 32 will make it through to the next round; the two highest in each pool, and the 16 next highest scorers. At the time of writing, our current overall leader is Hurricanehink (submissions) with 231 points, who leads Pool H.
Piotrus (submissions) (Pool G) also has over 200 points, while 9 others (three of whom are in Pool D) have over 100 points. Remember that certain content (specifically, articles/portals included in at least 20 Wikipedias as of 31 December 2010 or articles which are considered "vital") is worth double points if promoted to good or featured status, or if it appears on the main page in the Did You Know column. There were some articles last round which were eligible for double points, but which were not claimed for. For more details, see Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring.
A running total of claims can be seen here.

WikiCup 2011 April newsletter
Round 2 of the 2011 WikiCup is over, and the new round will begin on 1 May. Note that any points scored in the interim (that is, for content promoted or reviews completed on 29-30 April) can be claimed in the next round, but please do not start updating your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. Fewer than a quarter of our original contestants remain; 32 enter round 3, and, in two months' time, only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), who led Pool F, was our round champion, with 411 points, while 7 contestants scored between 200 and 300 points. At the other end of the scale, a score of 41 was high enough to reach round 3; more than five times the score required to reach round 2, and competition will no doubt become tighter now we're approaching the later rounds. Those progressing to round 3 were spread fairly evenly across the pools; 4 progressed from each of pools A, B, E and H, while 3 progressed from both pools C and F. Pools D and G were the most successful; each had 5 contestants advancing.
This round saw our first good topic points this year; congratulations to Hurricanehink (submissions) and 
Nergaal (submissions) who also led pool H and pool B respectively. However, there remain content types for which no points have yet been scored; featured sounds, featured portals and featured topics. In addition to prizes for leaderboard positions, the WikiCup awards other prizes; for instance, last year, a prize was awarded to 
Candlewicke (submissions) (who has been eliminated) for his work on In The News. For this reason, working on more unusual content could be even more rewarding than usual!
Sorry this newsletter is going out a little earlier than expected- there is a busy weekend coming up! A running total of claims can be seen here. If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.

WikiCup 2011 May newsletter
We're half way through round 3 of the 2011 WikiCup. There are currently 32 remaining in the competition, but only 16 will progress to our penultimate round. Casliber (submissions), of pool D, is our overall leader with nearly 200 points, while pools A, B and C are led by 
Racepacket (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and 
Canada Hky (submissions)respectively. The score required to reach the next round is 35, though this will no doubt go up significantly as the round progresses. We have a good number of high scorers, but also a considerable number who are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. Also, an important note concerning nominations at featured article candidates: if you are nominating content for which you intend to claim WikiCup points, please make this clear in the nomination statement so that the FAC director and his delegates are aware of the fact.

WikiCup 2011 June newsletter
We are half way through 2011, and entering the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; the semi-finals are upon us! Points scored in the interim (29/30 June) may be counted towards next round, but please do not update your submissions' pages until the next round has begun. 16 contestants remain, and all have shown dedication to the project to reach this far. Our round leader was Casliber (submissions) who, among other things, successfully passed three articles through featured article candidates and claimed an impressive 29 articles at Did You Know, scoring 555 points. Casliber led pool D. Pool A was led by
Wizardman (submissions), claiming points for a featured article, a featured list and seven good article reviews, while pool C was led by
Eisfbnore (submissions), who claimed for two good articles, ten articles at Did You Know and four good article reviews. They scored 154 and 118 respectively. Pool B was by far our most competitive pool; six of the eight competitors made it through to round 4, with all of them scoring over 100 points. The pool was led by Hurricanehink (submissions), who claimed for, among other things, three featured articles and five good articles. In addition to the four pool leaders, 12 others (the four second places, and the 8 next highest overall) make up our final 16. The lowest scorer who reached round 4 scored 76 points; a significant increase on the 41 needed to reach round 3. Eight of our semi-finalists scored at least twice as much as this.
No points were awarded this round for featured pictures, good topics or In the News, and no points have been awarded in the whole competition for featured topics, featured portals or featured sounds. Instead, the highest percentage of points has come from good articles. Featured articles, despite their high point cost, are low in number, and so, overall, share a comparable number of points with Did You Know, which are high in number but low in cost. A comparatively small but still considerable number of points come from featured lists and good article reviews, rounding out this round's overall scores.
We would again like to thank Jarry1250 (submissions) and Stone (submissions) for invaluable background work, as well as all of those helping to provide reviews for the articles listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Please do keep using it, and please do help by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup.
Two final notes: Firstly, please remember to state your participation in the WikiCup when nominating articles at FAC. Finally, some WikiCup-related statistics can be seenhere and here, for those interested, though it appears that neither are completely accurate at this time. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Two issues of concern:
Hi there. I came to your user page to voice a concern, but when I reached the page, I saw an even larger issue.
The initial issue is that your signature is not similar to your username. It probably should be, even if you include the WillC along with it.
More importantly, your user page is unreadable. The bright red on bright blue and vice versa dosen't have enough contrast to be read without excessive eye strain, and I have healthy eyes.
Just wanted to let you know. SvenManguard Wha? 19:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
WikiCup 2011 July newsletter
We are half way through the penultimate round of this year's WikiCup; there is less than a month to go before we have our final 8. Our pool leaders are 
Adabow (submissions) (Pool A, 189 points) and 
PresN (submissions) (Pool B, 165 points). The number of points required to reach the next round is not clear at this time; there are some users who still do not have any recorded points. Please remember to update your submissions' pages promptly. In addition, congratulations to PresN, who scored the first featured topic points in the competition for his work on Thatgamecompany related articles. Most points this round generally have, so far, come from good articles, with only one featured article (White-bellied Sea Eagle, from Casliber (submissions)) and two featured lists (Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story, from PresN and Grammy Award for Best Native American Music Album, from
Another Believer (submissions)). Points for Did You Know and good article reviews round out the scoring. No points have been awarded for In the News, good topics or featured pictures this round, and no points for featured sounds or portals have been awarded in the entire competition. On an unrelated note, preparation will be beginning soon for next year's WikiCup-watch this space!
There is little else to be said beyond the usual. Please list anything you need reviewing onWikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, so others following the WikiCup can help, and please do help if you can by providing reviews for the articles listed there. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews generally at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup- points are, of course, offered for reviews at GAC.

I just wanted to show you this http://www.facebook.com/ImpactWrestling/posts/229172483788003 as you see TNA just confirmed it as the PPV theme but as I said in all my edits on Wikipedia TNA uses PPV themes in promos so whenever I put a TNA theme that came from the Promo it's the official theme song 4urge (talk) 05:26, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

WikiCup 2011 July newsletter
The finals are upon us; we're down to the last few. One of the eight remaining contestants will be this year's WikiCup champion! 150 was the score needed to progress to the final; just under double the 76 required to reach round 4, and more than triple the 41 required to reach round 3. Our eight finalists are:
Casliber (submissions), Pool A's winner. Casliber has the highest total score in the competition, with 1528, the bulk of which is made up of 8 featured articles. He has the highest number of total featured articles (8, 1 of which was eligible for double points) and total did you knows (72) of any finalist. Casliber writes mostly on biology, including ornithology, botany and mycology.
PresN (submissions), Pool B's winner and the highest scorer this round. PresN is the only finalist who has scored featured topic points, and he has gathered an impressive 330, but most of his points come from his 4 featured articles, one of which scored double. PresN writes mostly on video games and the Hugo Awards.
Hurricanehink (submissions), Pool A's runner-up. Hurricanehink's points are mostly from his 30 good articles, more than any other finalist, and he is also the only finalist to score good topic points. Hurricanehink, as his name suggests, writes mostly on meteorology.
Wizardman (submissions), Pool B's runner-up. Wizardman has completed 86 good article reviews, more than any other finalist, but most of his points come from his 2 featured articles. Wizardman writes mostly on American sport, especially baseball.
Miyagawa (submissions), the "fastest loser" (Pool A). Miyagawa has written 3 featured lists, one of which was awarded double points, more than any other finalist, but he was awarded points mostly for his 68 did you knows. Miyagawa writes on a variety of topics, including dogs, military history and sport.
Resolute (submissions), the second "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Resolute's points come from his 9 good articles. He writes mostly on Canadian topics, including ice hockey.
Yellow Evan (submissions), who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool A). Most of Evan's points come from his 10 good articles, and he writes mostly on meteorology.
Sp33dyphil (submissions), who was joint third "fastest loser" (Pool B). Most of Phil's points come from his 9 good articles, 4 of which (more than any other finalist) were eligible for double points. He writes mostly on aeronautics.

We say goodbye to our seven other semi-finalists, Another Believer (submissions), Piotrus (submissions), Grandiose (submissions), Stone (submissions), Eisfbnore (submissions), Canada Hky (submissions) and
MuZemike (submissions). Everyone still in the competition at this stage has done fantastically well, and contributed greatly to Wikipedia. We're on the home straight now, and we will know our winner in two months.
In other news, preparations for next year's competition have begun with a brainstorming thread. Please, feel free to drop by and share any thoughts you have about how the competition should work next year. Sign ups are not yet open, but will be opened in due course. Watch this space. Further, there has beena discussion about the rule whereby those in the WikiCup must delcare their participation when nominating articles at featured article candidates. This has resulted in a bot being created by new featured article delegate Ucucha (talk · contribs). The bot will leave a message on FAC pages if the nominator is a participant in the WikiCup.
A reminder of the rules: any points scored after August 29 may be claimed for the final round, and please remember to update submission pages promptly. If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCupand the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

TNA Women's World Championship
Are you 100% sure? Have you checked it recently, 'cause I couldn't find that title name there? The match is also on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piy5Bx02Mjg and everytime the title is mentioned it's called the "TNA Knockout Championship".TheFBH (talk) 14:34, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Venis Daivari.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Venis Daivari.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

WikiCup 2011 September newsletter
We are on this year's home straight, with less than a month to go until the winner of the 2011 WikiCup will be decided. The fight for first place is currently being contested by Miyagawa (submissions), Hurricanehink (submissions) and
Sp33dyphil (submissions), all of whom have over 200 points. This round has already seen multiple featured articles (1991 Atlantic hurricane season from Hurricanehink andNorthrop YF-23 from Sp33dyphil) and a double-scoring featured list (Miyagawa's 1948 Summer Olympics medal table). The scores will likely increase far further before the end of the round on October 31 as everyone ups their pace. There is not much more to say- thoughts about next year's competition are welcome on the WikiCup talk page or the scoring talk page, and signups will open once a few things have been sorted out.
If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it onWikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

List of TNA World Heavyweight Champions guy
Yeah, I don't think there's any way anyone could convince him that he's just plain wrong, he will keep making the same claims over and over again, ignoring everything that's going against his argument. Maybe if we just ignore him he will go away, he will never be able to make the changes he wants on the article.TheFBH (talk) 21:13, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
WikiCup 2011 October newsletter
The 2011 WikiCup is now over, and our new champion is Hurricanehink (submissions), who joins the exclusive club of the previous winners: Dreamafter (2007), jj137 (2008), Durova (2009) andSturmvogel_66 (2010). The final standings were as follows:

- Yellow Evan (submissions)
- Miyagawa (submissions)
- Wizardman (submissions)
- Casliber (submissions)
- Resolute (submissions)

Prizes for first, second, third and fourth will be awarded, as will prizes for all those who reached the final eight. Every participant who scored in the competition will receive a ribbon of participation. In addition to the prizes based on placement, the following special prizes will be awarded based on high performance in particular areas of content creation. So that the finalists do not have an undue advantage, the prize is awarded to the competitor who scored the highest in any particular field in a single round.
- The Featured Article Award: Casliber (submissions), for his performance in round 2. Hurricanehink (submissions) matched the score, but Casliber won the tiebreaker.
- The Good Article Award: Yellow Evan (submissions), for his performance in round 4.
- The Featured List Award: Miyagawa (submissions), for his performance in round 4. PresN (submissions) matched the score, but Miyagawa won the tiebreaker.
- The Recognised Topic Award (for good and featured topics): PresN (submissions), for his performance in round 3.
- The Did You Know Award:
The Bushranger (submissions), for his performance in round 1. - The In the News Award:
Candlewicke (submissions), for his performance in round 1. - The Reviewer Award (for good article reviews): Wizardman (submissions), for his performance in round 3.
No prize was awarded for featured pictures, sounds or portals, as none were claimed throughout the competition. The awards will be handed out over the next few days. Congratulations to all our participants, and especially our winners; we've all had fun, and Wikipedia has benefitted massively from our content work.
Preparation for next year's WikiCup is ongoing. Interested parties are invited tosign up and participate in ourstraw polls. It's been a pleasure to work with you all this year, and, whoever's taking part in and running the competition in 2012, we hope to see you all in January!

TNA BFG Pics
Hey.
I'm not sure if you've saved the pics you wanted from that gallery I sent you long ago. It's a MobileMe gallery which is going to be discontinued in a few months, so make sure you get the pics you want. Hazardous Matt (talk) 14:28, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- I forwarded the e-mail I sent you last time. The gallery uses my name so I don't want to paste a link on here. You should have it. Subject "BFG Pics from Hazardous Matt". Hazardous Matt (talk) 15:18, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- No problem. If you need me to do any fancy "Wikipedia Paperwork" to release the ones you want, just let me know.
Lockdown (2005) GA nomination under review
Just to let you know that I am currently reviewing Lockdown (2005) for GA. There are quite a few prose issues that need to be addressed in which a significant copyedit will be needed. I am not done with the review yet, but it will be 
on hold when it is completed per the issues I have already noted at Talk:Lockdown (2005)/GA1. I'm about halfway through the prose right now, and I should complete that along with the sourcing and verification sometime later this weekend. Regards, –MuZemike 06:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
FAC
I'm still a bit new at Wikipedia copyediting and don't really have any experience with FAC, so I didn't issue a Support there though I do think the article is pretty strong. It was interesting to read through the whole thing, I haven't watched wrestling for several years so it brought back some good memories. Hope the rest of the review goes well.

| Thanks Wrestlinglover for helping to promote Lockdown (2005) to Good Article status. Please accept this little sign of appreciation and goodwill from me, because you deserve it. Keep it up, and give some a pat on the back today. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 02:16, 8 December 2011 (UTC) |

Your GA nomination of Hard Justice (2005)
The article Hard Justice (2005) you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold 
. The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needed to be addressed. If these are fixed within seven days, the article will pass, otherwise it will fail. See Talk:Hard Justice (2005) for things which need to be addressed. Jonayo!

GA review for Destination X (2008)
Hi,
I have initiated a review of your GAN at Talk:Destination X (2008)/GA1. Everything checks out. A nicely formatted article with plenty of information! I just have a few questions about the prose, so I have put the article on hold.

Looking for FAC source reviewers
hello WillC, I'm looking for FAC source reviewers and wondering if you could help me out since you seem to be familiar with FAC stuff, I need some reviewers to pass pwinsider.com and profightdb.com as reliable sources. thanks in advance! Starship.paint (talk) 08:26, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
Welcome to the 2012 WikiCup
Hello, and welcome to the 2012 WikiCup! The competition officially begins at the start of 2012 (UTC) after which time you may begin to claim points. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points.
This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list. Please direct any questions towards the judges, or on the WikiCup talk page. Good luck! J Milburn (talk) and The ed17 (talk) 17:56, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
Hey Man, About the "List of World Heavyweight Champions in TNA subpages
I know you've been working on them for a while, I just want to say thanks. I think they are the best chance we have at an accurate picture of TNA's history. I know this site is a labour of love, and that there's rarely any reward. I just wanted to make it feel a little more worth your while. And it'd really settle all the arguments on the TNA World Heavyweight Championship page if we could get the "List of..." page the main link on the TNA Wiki page, with then both belts linked from there.
Thanks for all your work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.195.173 (talk) 09:22, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Wrestlinglover, I just reviewed an article you nominated for GA, Against All Odds (2008). There are a few issues that should be addressed/fixed before I can believe that it is GA-worthy. Like I said on this page: Talk:Against All Odds (2008)/GA1, if you have any questions or you finish, please feel free to write on my talk page. Regards,--12george1 (talk) 19:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Do you have time for a FA review?
I know you are pretty familiar with the Featured Article requirements ... so do you have time to review Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/W. E. B. Du Bois/archive1? It still needs a couple of reviewers. Any feedback you can give would be appreciated. Thanks. --Noleander (talk) 06:06, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
I have reviewed your nomination and made some comments here: Talk:TNA World Beer Drinking Championship/GA1
I await your response. None of the issues I mention are major.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited Professional wrestling authority figures, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dusty Rhodes (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:21, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Pics
The attribution and release information looks fine. I tried to do the best. I think I got some really good shots of the cage. (My favorite is Dreamer's face being thrown into the side.) Hazardous Matt (talk) 13:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm. The only problem I have with that is that anyone who goes to the source can also get my wedding photos and whatnot. Oh well, that site will be dead in a few months. Hazardous Matt (talk) 13:46, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
See Talk:Slammiversary (2005)/GA1. The article has passed GA review. Congratulations! (I did a few more edits, hopefully ok, but please check for any errors I may have introduced.)
