User talk:TJ Spyke/Archive 30#Question about cleanup process

There are still outstanding issues at the recent PR. Gary King (talk) 23:34, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

: All of them except for one or two. Gary King (talk) 01:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:: I don't think you looked at the PR then. Starting from the Gameplay section down, none of the dozen or so points have been addressed. I worked a bit on the Infobox and Lead sections, so those are done. Also, if you want to get points for the WikiCup, an FAC won't help you as they normally take a month before they are passed. Gary King (talk) 05:27, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

are you saying I can't post a ustream link because thats TNA Official ustream channel what they do is they make Pre and Post Shows the site tnawrestlinglive.com is just a short link to get to the TNA ustream the ustream embed is on TNA official site with the chat

Kreyg ^Talk 12:32, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

:If it's official, I think it is allowed, provided it can be proved to be TNA's and not just someone else illegally steaming it (like Justin.tv). TJ Spyke 20:13, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't get [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WWE_Extreme_Rules&action=historysubmit&diff=342770674&oldid=342683314 your response] there. The main event(s) are split the same for Wrestlemania IX on the pay per view's prime page. One or the other should prolly be changed to match what was decided to do as they're ostensibly the same thing. So Mania IX would need an advertised / actual text addition as well, correct? Papacha (talk) 00:26, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

AFD it?^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 21:36, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

:Sure I mean all I'm saying is that you might aswell give other people a thought in the matter because it seems other WP:PW members have added to the page as well. An AFD would be good so that it doesn't look like you're the only one making the call.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 21:41, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Why, exactly? I understand the week-by-week rule, but it's been months since Bragging Rights and not only is this the second PPV that he's going to be at, but he's also in one of the PPV's main event matches. PCE (talk) 00:06, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

:So come after the Elimination Chamber, his qualifying match and involvement in the PPV's main event will be included? PCE (talk) 00:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

::OK, cool. PCE (talk) 01:08, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Wow, you're patronising. How exactly is removing unnecessary and pointless spaces which have been shoved in the middle of references "editing tests"? Please explain, because I don't understand that. And more to the point, why did you re-insert them? That seems like editing tests, not my edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.209.60 (talk) 18:47, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

You must be reading the thing arseways. I removed white space in the middle of references. To take just 2 examples, I changed "" (with white space) to "" (without white space) and "|date= 2008-09-18" (with white space) to "|date=2008-09-18" (without white space). And furthermore, I don't use IE, I use firefox, so that theory of yours is bollocks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.209.60 (talk) 19:00, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Are you retarded or do you just not like being proved wrong? Again, I changed "|date= 2008-09-18" (with white space) to "|date=2008-09-18" (without white space). Please explain how that constitutes adding white space. Because, newsflash, it doesn't, it removes it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.209.60 (talk) 19:05, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

And how about me changing "|date=2009-12-10| accessdate=2009-12-14" to "|date=2009-12-10| accessdate=2009-12-14" in the professional wrestling career section, or me changing "irishwhipwrestling.com/images/results/result080804.html| title=Peaders Beer" to "irishwhipwrestling.com/images/results/result080804.html|title=Peaders Beer" in the Irish Whip Wrestling section (first paragraph). Were they all me adding whitre spaces too? A clue: no, no they weren't, and you're reading the diff things backwards.

Try answering my question instead of just warning me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.43.209.60 (talk • contribs)

:Apparently you aren't actually looking at the article because you are adding white spaces. Also, learn how to sign your comments (it's not that hard). TJ Spyke 19:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Well you just proved you're retarded quite frankly. A) I'm not adding white space, you are, you're just ignoring my examples of me pointing this out. B) I'm not British, I'm Irish, and you're a fucktard if you don't reailse there's a difference. and C) "I know not how Brits all rude like you" doesn't make any sense whatsoever. This is why wikipedia is fucked. It's editors can't even use proper grammar in conversations. Clap, clap, clap.

:I forgot that Dublin is in Ireland (I momentarily thought it was in Northern Ireland) and the "all" was a type, I meant to type "are". The rest of my comments are correct though. TJ Spyke 19:24, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

:: Afraid not, TJ. Your edits and reversions are adding whitespace back into references. Take [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sheamus_O%27Shaunessy&diff=next&oldid=343783723] for example. I've just looked at this in Opera, Safari and Firefox. I think you may need to apologise to Mr IP Address. Tim (Xevious) (talk) 02:52, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best_selling_games

I notice this page references [http://www.the-magicbox.com/Chart-USPlatinum.shtml The Magic Box] and I was wondering how reliable the source was? Why did we chose to go with that source? Can we use this source in other articles? They do not list their source for this chart (that I see.) Thank you for your time.--108.2.2.183 (talk) 19:18, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

:I am not 100% sure for the US numbers, but their Japanese numbers are from Famitsu. Try contacting one of the other regular editors of that article like ReyBrujo. There is no reason they can't be used in other articles too. TJ Spyke 19:22, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. When you made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cathexis_(Star_Trek:_Voyager)&curid=3591720&diff=344305229&oldid=341581023 this edit] was there a visible change in the article? The reason I ask is because typically AWB isn't used for edits that this appears to fall under. Mainly the fourth bullet point in that link.--Rockfang (talk) 00:33, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

:My bad, I accidentally hit Save instead of Skip. TJ Spyke 00:55, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm not very experienced with Wikipedia, could you make the wikipedia page for Ring of Honor's next PPV, Big Bang? Here is a link confirming it as the next iPPV. http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/Article.aspx?id=3191 70.189.221.185 (talk) 07:39, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

You should stop taking everything so personally. It seems every time I question one of your edits, you immediately fire back and are usually rather nasty. It's just a website, calm down. Regardless of how you feel about the notability of the promotion, he did still found it, so why shouldn't it be noted? And you really can't compare it to holding a championship. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:52, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

:It wasn't even really a serious promotion. They used a fake title (claiming another organizations title, it would be like TNA saying they had the WWE Championship) and barely did any shows. It would be like noting that Terry Funk started a promotion called !Bang! or that Dusty Rhodes started one called Turnbuckle Championship Wrestling. IGF was a short-lived and non-notable promotion, not the least bit worth mentioning (and I find it off you keep wanting it in considering you complain when someone adds a major title like the IC or US titles to a wrestlers entry). TJ Spyke 01:25, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

::It's a relatively minor detail, so I really don't feel like edit warring with you. It's interesting to see that you have finally learned how to avoid a 3RR block (although it took you long enough). -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 02:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, i need your help. The ECW Championship is listed as deactivated. This is wrong, as i have a source from wwe themselves saying that the title is retired. can we correct this on the list of reigns? thanks! here is the source: http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/results/13527692/ . it mentions that the title is retired in the last paragraph of the christian vs ezeikiel jackson match results. --JereMerr 05:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)--JereMerr 05:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC)--JereMerr 05:01, 17 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremerr (talk • contribs)

Thanks Thank you for your note, but you are mistaken. {{DEFAULTSORT:TJ Spyke}} sorts before {{DEFAULTSORT:Ta}}. I suggest that you review WP:SORTKEY. Please post on my talk if you would like to respond. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

:Correctly? "WWE Xtreme Home Video" should not come before "Way Back in Time Video". That is confusing and nonsensical. It only sorts that way due to a restriction in MediaWiki software. Again, see WP:SORTKEY, which reads in part "For example, use "Dubois" in sort keys rather than "DuBois"." —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

::Again I have sorted according to WP:SORTKEY. If you continue undoing these, I'll have to post to some administrators' noticeboard, not because you are being intentionally disruptive (I have no doubt about your good faith in this matter), but because you are unintentionally breaking the purpose of sortkeys. Please post on my talk if something is still not clear. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:05, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Contribs There are only 24 hours in a day. If you look through my contribs, you can see thousands of sorts for articles that start with two capital letters. That's what I've arbitrarily chosen to start with. If you want to sort other articles, that's great. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:19, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Bigger targets? If you're calling me inconsistent, that's one thing, but if you're claiming that I'm specifically singling out wrestling-related articles for some special treatment that's another. If I could snap my fingers and make all three million articles on the English Wikipedia sorted correctly, I would. Barring that, I've got to do what I can as I have the time and interest. I've arbitrarily chosen to do some sets of articles (recently, articles with consecutive capital letters and :Category:R.E.M. songs), and I may choose to do NFL-related articles (and categories) at some point. In the meantime, there are still literally a million things to do. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 23:01, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Well TJ considering the championship was known as the ECW World Heavyweight Championship from '94 to '01 = 7 years while on the other hand it was known as the ECW Championship from '07 to '10 = 3 years, per WP:COMMONNAME the page name should be the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Its the same reason the WCW Championship article is under the name WCW World Heavyweight Championship and not World Championship. You wanna take it to WT:PW ? ^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 19:46, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

:BTW, despite our disagreements over the years, I've treated you with the same respect I expect from others. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jason_Reso&curid=438904&diff=344827073&oldid=344816863] That said, next time "Know your Role.... and Shut your Mouth!"

::I apologize for that remark, I was just annoyed at what that other user was doing. Yes the title had the longer name for longer period, but I think it's arguable when the title was more notable. You can't deny that the title was seen by far more people even in 2 years in WWE than it ever was in ECW. The title was seen by millions of people every week in WWE and every month on PPV. As I mentioned about WCW, that one had the shortened name for only 6 months. TJ Spyke 20:07, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to handle the numerious name changes with :Template:WWEPPV, and where to put events in current and former. Any suggestions? --  Θakster   21:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

:Actually, I was talking about the template. I'm pretty much unsure where to place the limbo events on it (namely Backlash, Judgment Day, The Bash and Breaking Point). As you've said, with November free, any of them could still potentially replace Survivor Series. --  Θakster   21:23, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

::Done. I've moved the old events at the very end. I'm not satisfied with it, but I guess it will do. Thanks. --  Θakster   21:34, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm really sorry, ok? I thought WWE NXT was a reality show/live event program. It does have WWE employees in it as pros, but I didn't know it was a WWE Tough Enough clone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yugiohmike2001 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

25px You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war{{#if:| according to the reverts you have made on :{{{1}}}}}. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. {{#if:|{{{2}}}|}} - Zhang He (talk) 16:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

30px Please stop. Despite countless urgings to stop going back to 2007; an ANI thread; and two subsequent reminders that harmless redirects should not by bypassed without good reason, you continue to make disruptive edits contrary to the Wikipedia:Redirect guideline (specifically the section entitled Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken). Moreoever, you continue to use a misleading edit summary when doing so. The next time you bypass a redirect that is not broken, you will be blocked from editing. –xeno^talk 16:22, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Round one is over, and round two has begun! Congratulations to the 64 contestants who have made it through, but well done and thank you to all contestants who took part in our first round. A special well done goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, our round one winner (1010 points), and to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}}, who were second and third respectively (640 points/605 points). Sasata was awarded the most points for both good articles (300 points) and featured articles (600 points), and TonyTheTiger was awarded the most for featured topics (225 points), while Hunter Kahn claimed the most for good topics (70). {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Staxringold}} claimed the most featured lists (240 points) and featured pictures (35 points), {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Geschichte}} claimed the most for Did you know? entries (490 points), {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Jujutacular}} claimed the most for featured sounds (70 points) and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Candlewicke}} claimed the most for In the news entries (40 points). No one claimed a featured portal or valued picture.

Credits awarded after the end of round one but before round two may be claimed in round two, but remember the rule that content must have been worked on in some significant way during 2010 by you for you to claim points. The groups for round two will be placed up shortly, and the submissions' pages will be blanked. This round will continue until 28 April, when the top two users from each group, as well as 16 wildcards, will progress to round three. 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; thank you to all doing this last round, and particularly to those helping at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!

I'm not very experienced with Wikipedia, could you make the wikipedia page for Ring of Honor's next PPV, Big Bang? Here is a link confirming it as the next iPPV. http://www.rohwrestling.com/news/Article.aspx?id=3191 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.130.120 (talk) 04:04, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

The site is credible and reliable, you're obviously having a problem with that for whatever reason, but you seem to be the only one with a problem. What makes you the decider of whether or not a site/source is reliable? Who died and made you king? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.45.10 (talk) 21:54, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm not asking a question, I'm simply stating that the site is reliable and credible and it is an investor call, if you don't know what that is, I suggest you look it up. The number came straight from Sony themselves, if they don't know the amount of consoles they have shipped, then I don't know who does. Do NOT insert the tag again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.45.10 (talk) 22:03, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to let an administrator take care of this and decide. You are obviously wrong and vandalizing the article with your own bias and preconceived notions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.204.45.10 (talk) 22:06, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

The burden of proof is on you to show me that the site is unreliable like you claim. I have reported you for vandalism as your bias is obviously getting in the way of objectivity. I'll leave the page as is for now until an admin takes a look at it. 68.204.45.10 (talk) 22:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

It's not my site, but the site is credible and reliable, you probably know this but refuse to accept it due to your bias. I don't live on wikipedia and have a life outside of it unlike you. You bolding a word or two will not make it more likely that you're right and I'm wrong. The burden of proof is on you, and you also thought I was vandalizing, so you obviously need to take a look at your history before acting all self-righteous. You obviously have a problem and accused me of vandalism when I provided proof. You don't get to decide whether or not a site is credible just because you want to or don't want to. The source and the material on the website is reliable and verifiable. As I told you in the edit summary, simple math should make you clearly see that the 60 million figure is correct. 55.9 million as of last quarter + 4.2 million as of quarter 3.68.204.45.10 (talk) 22:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Zeke has only been billed from Guyana on TV. His WWE profile states that he was born in Guyana, but bills him from Harlem, which is why I removed the bolded "Guyana, South America" from his billing section. PCE (talk) 01:51, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

:Well then why hasn't someone found an online source to fully back it up? PCE (talk) 02:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

::I'll be on the lookout for sources as well. One report (may have been from PWTorch or another passable site) covering the Rumble stated that he was being billed from Guyana during his match against Christian. PCE (talk) 02:42, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Apparently you do not understand what a consensus is. A consensus is an agreement. That means a group has agreed and a decision has been determined. No where at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Archive 75#Tag team names in title lists is an agreement made. Because there was a higher amount of people liking tag team names first, you have established that as a consensus. You are wrong. I'm all for discussing this again where we can actually have a consensus. If anything was established with the previous discussion, was editor's choice.--WillC 01:08, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

:There was no agreement though. There was even a small discussion inside the section about there being no agreement. Read the section. There is no consensus, you have shown no agreement. It is all up to you sir. You are the only one claiming their is a consensus, and if there was one. You would not be alone.--WillC 02:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

::A no there was no consensus. You can warn me all you want. Your track record is much wrose than mine. You being involved in a dispute hurts you. I've asked you several times, and still you have not shown where it says an agreement has been reached. The discussion died. I'm still waiting. If you can't show a consensus, then you have nothing to stand on.--WillC 04:37, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

:::First off no consensus was established because only 4 were actually involved in the discussion. Everyone else said they like something, and WP:I Like It is not an argument for formats. Thus those opinions did not go toward the final decision. TJ quit trying to own shit like you've done for too long. You disrupt wikipedia more than anyone. It seems you are the only one who sees a consensus.--WillC 22:38, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

::::Because there never was a consensus. This project is so screwed up we need actual agreements, and not seeming agreements.--WillC 20:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Last night the project was being attacked by a vandal who kept moving pages. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Swagger44] My advice to you is don't worry about it.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 21:52, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

User Vjmlhds thinks the WWE title should be on both Raw and SD since Batista is holding because of a "business deal" with Mr.McMahon. Look on his talk page, I've been trying to tell him it's currently SD's title while it appears on Raw. Can you help me out here?--Yugiohmike2001 (talk) 19:38, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

25px You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on :World Wrestling Entertainment. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. –Turian (talk) 19:49, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Did you not see the warning I placed on your page? Revert your change or I will report this whole incident to 3RR. I took it to the talk page, now follow me there. –Turian (talk) 19:54, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

:I did not revert, so I did not violate 3RR. I came up with a compromise (something no one else seems willing to do). You want to state that it's a Raw title only (which is factually incorrect). WWE itself states that the title belongs to BOTH brands. TJ Spyke 20:08, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

I found an article on PWInsider That, unfortunately, Jerry Valiant (John S. Hill) Passed away on thursday, March 11th. i am working on confirming it with other sources, but here is the link to the article http://pwinsider.com/article/45870/former-wwwf-tag-team-champion-john-gentleman-jerry-valiant-hill-passes-away.html?p=1 . can we edit the article with this information?--JereMerr 05:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)--JereMerr 05:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC)--JereMerr 05:40, 13 March 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeremerr (talk • contribs)

So in other words, you think it's up to you to say whether or not a site is reliable and credible. Gotcha! Fun little world you live in. 68.204.45.10 (talk) 00:44, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Surprise surprise the old source is credible, in the future, try to put your bias aside in favor of objectivity. Thanks. 68.204.45.10 (talk) 02:10, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't the one trolling a credible and reliable source, you were. Had you used your damn brain you would've seen the source was mathematically correct also but a simple math problem turned out to be too difficult for you. Like I said, for future reference try to be more objective, that's the whole purpose of wikipedia, objectivity. Thanks. 68.204.45.10 (talk) 23:53, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

I should have read the discussion page for :List of best-selling video games about VG Chartz being an unreliable source and I apologize for the hasty entry. But, wow, your lack of tact is astounding. A simple "I fixed your error. Please check the discussion page before editing in the future." would have sufficed. Don't you dare insult my intelligence again. You can catch more flies with honey. Keep that in mind in the future. I appreciate the looking out. GoldThong (talk) 23:36, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I have blocked you for 72 hours as you have chosen to continue bypassing redirects even after being blocked for 24 hours for the same.

I remind you that WP:R2D is a generally-accepted community guideline. You do not have to agree with it, you can petition to change it, but you must follow it until it is changed.

You have requests and warnings going back to 2007 asking you to adhere to this guideline; that you have chosen to ignore them is unacceptable.

The blocks will increase in length should you continue to make edits contrary to the redirect guideline. –xeno^talk 21:49, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

{{unblock reviewed|1=I don't think I have violated that guideline since the previous block, I just checked my edit log and see no violations (and the admin, who seems to have a problem with me, did not bother pointing out this supposed violation|decline=See below, you did indeed, and since you've been blocked before for this, further warnings are not needed since you are obviously aware of the issue. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:16, 16 March 2010 (UTC)}}

:[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Serena_Deeb&diff=prev&oldid=350276589] - note also that in your exuberance to bypass this redirect contrary to the guideline, you left an error in wikicode. –xeno^talk 22:13, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

::[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wrestle_Kingdom&diff=prev&oldid=350112856 This], too. Tim Song (talk) 22:17, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

:::I have to say I find this extremely puzzling. Bypassing redirects is pointless, you've been blocked for it before, very recently in fact. It seems like it would be the easiest thing in the world to just not do it anymore, so why do you persist? Beeblebrox (talk) 22:20, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

• For the record I have no 'problem' with this editor - other than his persistent disregard for WP:R2D and his ignoring of the many comments over the years he's received about this practice. I have no issue with the block being lifted and will do so myself if the editor agrees to adhere to the guideline in the future. –xeno^talk 22:25, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
• Yeah, I don't really want any part in this, but noticed the situation on my watchlist. Even if he agrees to adhere to it, give him a month and he'll start back up again. A few months ago, he agreed to quit changing links and names from "SmackDown" and "ECW" to "Friday Night SmackDown" and "ECW of Sci Fi", yet every once in a while I and a few others have caught him still persisting to change them spite the consensus established at three different pages on the subject by several editors. To be honest, for the past 3 years, he has been given enough room to breath. He knows the rules, and yet he still continues to break them. This is his 4 block in like 6 months. I believe it is clear, he isn't stopping anything. He goes by his own rules.--WillC 03:33, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

I wasn't vandalisizing or test editing, i believe it should say "was" because its dead.. plus WWE made me vomit on what they did to ECW. the final nail in the coffin was when Vince McMahon decided to shit on Paul Heyman and make himself the ECW Champion. thats why i want it to say was... without me needing to make a critism section... which im tempted to do big time if there isn't one already. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr. Pizza (talk • contribs) 01:17, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

We're half way through round two, and everything is running smoothly. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}} leads overall with 650 points this round, and heads pool B. {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}} currently leads pool C, dubbed the "Group of Death", which has a only a single contestant yet to score this round (the fewest of any group), as well five contestants over 100 points (the most). With a month still to go, as well as 16 wildcard places, everything is still to play for. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Although unrelated to the WikiCup, April sees a Good Article Nominations backlog elimination drive, formulated as a friendly competition with small awards, as the Cup is.

Um, excuse me.....since you seem to think you can sue over usage of the MBS logo, how about I contact Westwood One and see what they have to say about the matter? In fact, how about I alert Westwood One to your unauthorized usage of their trademark? I mean, if you want to talk about infringement & suing & such, I'm pretty sure Westwood One would be MORE than happy to clarify exactly who has that right. I mean, after all, you are using the MBS logo without their permission, so how in the hell do you think you have the right to sue over something YOU DON'T OWN? So, what I'm trying to say is, make a post on the MBS talk page rescinding your threat to sue & apologize to Wikipedia, or I'll report your site to Westwood One (& they can sue YOU for everything you're worth). So, sir, the ball's in your court. I hope you make the right decision. 67.173.117.222 (talk) 19:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Round two is over, and we are down to our final 32. For anyone interested in the final standings (though not arranged by group) [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Standings&oldid=359235905 this] page has been compiled. Congratulations to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}}, our clear overall round winner, and to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|ThinkBlue}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Arsenikk}}, who were solidly second and third respectively. There were a good number of high scorers this round- competition was certainly tough! Round three begins tomorrow, but anything promoted after the end of round two is eligible for points. 16 contestants (eight pool leaders and eight wildcards) will progress to round four in two months- things are really starting to get competitive. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Judge iMatthew has retired from Wikipedia, and we wish him the best. The competition has been ticking over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. A special thank you goes to participants {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Stone}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|White Shadows}} for their help in preparing for round three. Good luck everyone! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. J Milburn, Fox and The ed17 17:39, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

It has recently been brought to the attention of WP:PW that the newsletter is being to delivered to several users who have not been actively editing for several months. As a result, their talk pages have become increasingly large, unmanageable and slow to load due to a lack of archiving.
In response, this message is being sent to all editors listed in :Category:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants to say that anyone who does not list their name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 16 will be automatically listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, and will no longer receive the newsletter or any notification of it. If you are added to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Nospam, please feel free to remove your name if you desire.
If you wish to continue receiving the newsletter as normal, please add your name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active. If you simply wish to receive notification of a new issue, but not have the full newsletter delivered to your talk page, please add your name to the notification only list.
If you have any queries please contact me at my talk page or leave a message at WT:PW. Thank you for your co-operation. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 00:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

File:Copyright-problem.svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to :File:Billy the Wizard.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:32, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

We are half way through round 3, with a little under a month to go. The current overall leader is {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, who has 570 points. He leads pool C. Pools A, B and D are led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|White Shadows}} respectively. Anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Two of last year's final 8, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Theleftorium}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Scorpion0422}}, have dropped out of the competition, saying they would rather their place went to someone who will have more time on their hands than them next round. On a related note, a special thank you goes to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|White Shadows}} for his help behind the scenes once again. There is currently a problem with the poster, perhaps caused by the new skin- take a look at this discussion and see if you can help. The competition has continued to tick over well with minimal need for judge intervention, so thank you to everyone making that possible. Good luck to all! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

I think Armageddon 1999 was vandalized since it reads it took place in Singapore. I would change it myself but have no clue where Armageddon 1999 was. Can you please go to the article and change it?--Nascarking (talk) 04:40, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

We are half-way through our penultimate round, and nothing is yet certain. Pool A, currently led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}} has ended up the more competitive, with three contestants ({{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sasata}}, {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Sturmvogel_66}} and {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|TonyTheTiger}}) scoring over 500 points already. Pool B is led by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Casliber}}, who has also scored well over 500. The top two from each pool, as well as the next four highest scorers regardless of pool, will make it through to our final eight. As ever, anything you worry may not receive the necessary attention before the end of the round (such as outstanding GA or FA nominations) is welcome at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews, and please remember to continue offering reviews yourself where possible. As always, the judges are available to contact via email, IRC or their talk pages, and general discussion about the Cup is welcome on the WikiCup talk page.

Planning has begun for the 2011 WikiCup, with open discussions concerning scoring and flags for next year's competition. Contributions to those discussions would be appreciated, especially concerning the flags, as next year's signups cannot begin until the flag issue has been resolved. Signups will hopefully open at some point in this round, with discussion about possible changing in the scoring/process opening some time afterwards.

Earlier this round, we said goodbye to {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Hunter Kahn}}, who has bowed out to spend more time on the book he is authoring with his wife. We wish him all the best. In other news, the start of this round also saw some WikiCup awards sent out by {{Wikipedia:WikiCup/Participant|Suomi Finland 2009}}. We appreciate his enthusiasm, and contestants are of course welcome to award each other prizes as they see fit, but rest assured that we will be sending out "official" awards at the end of the competition. If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

As of September 26, we are at 6.96%, with 348 articles currently in :Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the stub article subpage.
• Based on the members list, there are currently 247 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.
