Bad Links

Please stop creating bad links to articles. When linking to Viscera (wrestler) or any other article for that matter, please do NOT use the web address on your browser such as Viscera_%28wrestler%29. Please instead use the name of the article itself. Example: Viscera (wrestler)|Mabel. The way you are doing it now is creating too many bad links. Please help repair them with the correct format. Thank you.-- bulletproof ^3:16 19:27, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Also please remove the _ from the bad links and just add a space to it. Example: Viscera (wrestler)|Mabel and NOT Viscera_(wrestler)|Mabel. Thank you. -- bulletproof ^3:16 19:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Just replace the underscore with a space.-- bulletproof ^3:16 19:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry man I didn't know there was anything wrong with the way I linked it, I even checked the links and they work for me, but I'll be sure to fix all the places I've done it wrong. Thank you for the heads up, I'm still learning the ropes here MPJ-DK 19:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

No prob man. If there is anything you need help on you know where to ask. Welcome to Wikipedia. Cheers! -- bulletproof ^3:16 19:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

There I think that's all of them MPJ-DK 19:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Heat Links

dude as long as the first part of the link in articles says WWE Heat|, thats all that needs to be fixed. Please do not change the link if it says WWE Heat|Sunday Night HEAT match becuase it was known as WWE HEAT back then and. So if it just says: WWE Heat|Sunday Night HEAT match Pleas do not change it as the show was know as HEAT back then. Thank you -- bulletproof ^3:16 00:49, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

As long as the first part of the link is WWE Heat| then the link does not need to be fixed. Pleas help revert the links back to WWE Heat|Sunday Night HEAT match.-- bulletproof ^3:16 00:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

all I can say is D'Oh! - I'm a bonehead. I fixed it so that all articles say "Sunday Night HEAT", but if it just says Heat or WWE Heat it's not capitalized. MPJ-DK 11:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Re : Deleted Continental Wrestling Association article

The article has been restored as a contested prod. The article, however, may be still liable for an articles for deletion nomination. Please improve on the article with reliable sources to reduce such likelihood of deletion. - Mailer Diablo 03:09, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wrestling tag teams

As I was looking at your user page, your list of "pages to add". I'm not sure if you have even updated that list in a while? But either way: Allied Powers (pretty sure this was deleted a bit ago, due to it being a pretty short lived team). The New Rockers didn't last long either (and I think it had an article as well here, and was deleted). High Energy was pretty short as well. As for New Foundation: can best be described on the Hart Foundation article, since it was basically a new version of the original. RobJ1981 10:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Well first of all no I haven't updated them in a while. After I updated the Owen Hart page I am planning on just addning a "High Energy" section to Koko's page as well - maybe link to them in the appropriate places using "Owen Hart#High Energy" or something like that. New Rockers will probably just be a section on the Rockers page instead of an actual seperate page, I saw the Rockers page and it could use some TLC, adding that section is part of the TLC. And I found that the New Foundation has a section on the Hart Foundation page, I'm planning on making that complete and letting that be that. I hadn't actualy checked to see if any of the teams were deleted in the past - but High Energy, New Rockers & New Foundation aren't new pages I'm going to add but reminders to add their story to the appropriate existing pages.

Image:ColConnection.jpg

Okay, I've restored the image and added the {{WWE-photo}} tag. It still needs a fair use rationale and inclusion in an article. —An gr 08:56, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Owen Hart cleanup

I'm currently reading the latest revision right now (sorry for the delay), and while definitely better, there are still little niggles here and there. Nothing major, I'll go through and polish 'er up real good-like. Thanks for your help! --Action Jackson IV 18:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit summaries

I have noticed that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks!

Paul Orndorff revert

I wouldn't class it as vandalism really, just that editor's edits are sometimes problematic. For example see the recent history of the Hulk Hogan page or this section he added to the Jimmy Snuka article. The style he writes in just isn't encyclopedic in tone, and adds lots of unsourced cruft rather than relevant information in my opinion. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 13:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

IWA

MPJ-DK,

I found a news article from the Miami Herald while searching the Google news archives. It seems ICW was based in Broward County, Florida for a time as well as Parsipanny, New Jersey during 1990. Unfortunatly, its a subsciption service so it can't be linked directly. It might not be much, but at least it is a confirmed secondary source. Great job on the article by the way!

Mike Kahlua

MPJ-DK,

Thanks for the help with Mike Kahlua (especially as it seemed like an obscure and off-the-wall question). By the way, I'm working on a list similar to an organized crime list I've previously compiled which would list references and other points of notability for independent wrestling promotions to create/recreate if you'd be interested. MadMax 08:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome and yes that'd be a great idea since there seems to be a "sources now" thing going around right now. I got books, websites etc to add MPJ-DK 09:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

That would be a great help, thanks. All I have access to are old issues of PWI and two of RD Reynolds' books. I have a decent list at this point, although I am missing a lot of NWA and regional territories. MadMax 23:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, I'm trying to compile at least a general list of books, news articles, etc. however I can't really think of any website which wouldn't be considered a "fan site". I don't suppose you might have any suggestions ? By the way, I believe the IWCCW roster is pretty much finished (as I'm unable to find any sources for the remaining ones). MadMax 03:03, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm working on a general reference list myself User:MPJ-DK/references and yeah most pages are fansites but some of these are really good so I use them as references because in wrestling that's the best we'll get - especially on federations, territories and wrestlers who were around before the Internet really became popular. MPJ-DK 05:54, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

It occured to me either project might make a good "rough draft" for a reference section for WikiProject Pro Wrestling. MadMax 04:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

IWCCW alumni

I just finished the last of the IWCCW roster with exception to Makumba and G.Q. Madison who I can't find a shred on information on. Also I've noticed Mike Sampson is also spelled Samson on several wrestling websites. Would you happen to know if this is a mispelling or a variation of his ring name (unless it's a different wrestler entirely) ? MadMax 06:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know for sure, I think the "Samson" is a misspelling, I remember reading it as "Mike Sampson" in a magazine way back when MPJ-DK 07:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Please reconsider my block

(Removed Unblock request template per policy stated on template

Hello. As a matter of policy (WP:BLP, WP:ATT) I agree with the stubbing of biographical articles if they lack reliable sources, and thus I think you should not have reverted the stubbing, but re-added the material only once you could provide the sources for it. Nonetheless, an indef block without prior warning appears to be inappropriately harsh in your case. I'll ask the blocking admin, Alkivar (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA), to comment. Sandstein 14:07, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! and in hindsight yeah reverting was a mistake I realize that and something that won't happen if I'm unblocked. MPJ-DK 14:10, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree that indef seems to harsh in this case. The user appears to have had a good faith misunderstanding of the policy. Even if a block was necessary here, without at least a warning, I don't see how an indef can be justified. Dina 18:05, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree as well. An indef block is much too harsh in this situation. I believe a block was warranted, but not to this extreme. - auburnpilot talk 01:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for reconsidering my case and I got no problems with a week block, all things considered I had it coming. MPJ-DK 08:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Barry Buchanan

If you are going to do sourced alternate versions of locked pages, it might be a better idea to create a temp page (like Barry Buchanan/temp) and post your version there rather than the talkpage. It's easier to pull the content from a separate page than from the talkpage, and the temp page can always be tagged for speedy deletion after the version makes it to the main page. Just a suggestion.--Isotope23 15:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah yes, that's a good idea - thanks for the heads up. MPJ-DK 16:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

References list

MPJ-DK,

I've recently revamped the reference list I've been working on and, while still a work in progress, I'd certainly appreciate your opinion if you have time to take a look at it. MadMax 11:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from All Star Wrestling, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Chris Benoit

Thanks for the advice, I'll do that from now on!! Oh by the way, Ive gone along and added references to Ric Flair (WWE sections only - I was never a big WCW fan!!). Is it OK the way it is, or not? BTW, I've got a reference list that I'm referring to, so if you notice a WWE related article that is in serious need of referencs, just add it to the bottom of the list, and sign it with your name, and I'll be on to it as soon as possible!!

Hart wrestling family

The article was started by User:Asadaleem12@hotmail.com who has created wrestling-related hoaxes for a long time on Wikipedia and was banned for it. The content of the article could be legit now, and if it was deleted you can recreate it; but generally, articles created by banned users are deleted because they're not allowed to edit Wikipedia.

Scott Norton

I could always use this version if I wanted? The number of references isn't relevant, the amount of information that isn't referenced is. I've changed it to a more appropriate tag now anyway, and I suggest you moderate your tone in future. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 16:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
