Current Events

  • Former TNA professional wrestler Chris Harris has officially signed with World Wrestling Entertainment as confirmed by himself in his personal website.
  • Ron Killings and The Big Show are still being reported as to having signed WWE contracts. As there is no reliable source for anything of the sort, be prepared for their names to be continually added to the WWE Roster article and information about their returns being added to their own articles. There is also apparently an audio interview with Killings where he states he will be returning to WWE with his old K-Kwik gimmick.
  • Bobby Lashley is being reported to have been released by WWE. His profile has been removed from WWE.com. But again, there is no reliable source for his release, so be prepared to revert his removal from the roster article and edits to his own article.

Collaboration of the Week

The monthly featured article collaboration for February 3 through February 16 is Shawn Michaels. Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia professional wrestling related article. The next article for collaboration will be chosen on Sunday, February 17.

Thanks for the apology.

Hey, I say again, I accept your apology. I wasn't mad, I was more of offended because I wanted to try and to see how other people were watching the PPV. Some people thought he hit him, while others like me saw an open hand slap. It's ok. If you need anything, feel free to ask and I will do the same if I need some help.Scca8704 (talk) 22:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Current Events

  • At WrestleMania XXIV, Shawn Michaels defeated Ric Flair after executing the Sweet Chin Music, which as a result, meant that Ric Flair was forced to retire from professional wrestling. The next night, at Flair's retirement ceremony on Raw, Triple H congratulated Flair for his 35 year career, and brought out retired and current superstars to thank him. Michaels, and the whole WWE roster came out later to thank him as well.
  • The Undertaker defeated Edge to become the new World Heavyweight Champion forcing him to submit to the Gogoplata. During the pyro celebration for Undertaker's 16-0 streak, a freak accident occurred just before WrestleMania went off-air. During the pryo shooting to the entrance stage, a firework went to the upper-level section of the crowd on top. Forty-five fans were injured, and currently, WWE is trying to investigate what was the cause of the pyrotechnic malfunction
  • Cryme Tyme returned to WWE on March 31, during Raw, defeating Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch.
  • Matt Hardy also returned on Raw, attacking Randy Orton from behind, and later having a match with Orton.

Speedy deletion of [[:Main pics]]

Image:Nuvola apps important.svg A tag has been placed on :Main pics, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{tl|hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 00:29, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Member Interview

RfA

Hi. This note is intended to be proactive. I'd like to prevent you from experiencing what will likely be an unsuccessful request. There will be many reasons, but the main is your lack of quantity of edits over all, and over the last several years. And your nomination statement suggesting that you know "everything" was probably not as helpful as you might have expected when you wrote it. Please consider withdrawing your nomination. - jc37 18:41, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA 2

I am sorry, but I have closed your Request for adminship prematurely. Simply put,it had no chance of passing due to your relative lack of experience with the encyclopedia and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/I%27m_On_Base&diff=208193570&oldid=208193475 some of your recent edits].

I am sorry about this, and I hope you don't take it personally. If you continue to contribute to the project in a positive fashion, you'll improve your chances of passing a potential future RfA. You may wish to consider applying for an evaluation by other Wikipedia editors for feedback on how to obtain the necessary experience. Once you are ready to request adminship again, there is a great admin coaching program available, as well as a guide to requests for adminship.

{{#if:|{{{notes}}} }}If you have any other questions about becoming an administrator, please don't hesitate to ask me. Good luck! Enigma message 21:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: bye

What's happened? From your archives, I'm assuming that it is your failed RFA? The Chronic 21:49, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

:Oh, I see. Well obviously, you've received quite a bit of rough, if not harsh, criticism in your RFA that has taken you personally. That, however, shouldn't be a reason for you to call yourself "bad and evil" and quit. You are not in any way bad and evil. The incivility issue is a black cloud over you that can be undone (figuratively, not literally) with a better understanding of the policies and guidelines and more experience. Other than that, you appear to be a good editor; like other editors, you want to help improve Wikipedia in any way you can, and you don't appear aren't hesitant to do so. Don't let the negative criticism let you down. The criticism in the RFA wasn't not meant to discourage you, but rather to let you know what you can improve in the future (though it may seem otherwise). I hope these words can help you feel better about your self-esteem. I encourage you to come back, but you prefer to stay away, that's completely understandable.

Professional Wrestling Article Stats

Since the last issue, the number of stub articles has decreased again. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.

Is there a point to your challenge? King iMatthew 2008 21:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

:Then instead of telling other users to edit it, be bold and fix it up yourself, you know? King iMatthew 2008 23:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

::Dude, you have to learn to be a good editor, and just because you may not be one now, doesn't mean you should dump your work into a challenge for other people to do. Btw, please don't use my words against me Go try to edit that article, Cheers! and Happy editing! King iMatthew 2008 00:53, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

:::I'm saying that it's pointless to give a challenge for something as simple as editing an article. If you'd like to edit an article, feel free to and maybe ask another user for help. If you're stuck on giving out challenges, check out WP:AWC. King iMatthew 2008 01:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Why?

Because you may not use fair-use images on a userpage. King iMatthew 2008 22:54, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
