GA Review

Reviewer: Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC) Overall this is a good article, though I found a couple issues:[reply]

Ref #18 (New Zealand wrestling titles) is a deadlink; i think the link was just mistyped though.

It looks like they moved the page; I updated the link. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Competing as Leo Burke, Cormier spent much of the early 1970s competing in the Maritimes.." Any mention about the name change from Martin to Burke? Probably not but I thought I'd ask.

Nothing very specific. I moved the mention of taking the name Leo Burke to this section so that it flows better. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be more readable if the large career section was split into a couple subsections, so there's fewer paragraphs per section.

I tried to think of a logical way to split this, and I ended up going by decades. If this doesn't seem natural, I can try something else. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling (AGPW), a company in the Maritimes, ran shows only in summer;" Interesting, but it could be tied in better with the rest of the text.

I think it flows better now. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Cormier helped train Ken Shamrock, Mark Henry, Adam Copeland (known as Edge in WWE), Jason Reso (Christian in WWE), and Andrew Martin (WWE's Test)." Parenthesis notes should be consistent.

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put this on hold for a few days, and will pass when this is fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 19:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review. I realize that it's a long, dense article, so I really appreciate you taking the time to help out. I think I have addressed all of the concerns (and more — I noticed that I left one of the titles out of the C&A section altogether and that the StampedeWrestling.com links were also dead). Please let me know if there's anything else to be done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:47, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks a lot better now. The decades split, while maybe not ideal, works. I don't see any further issues, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 16:16, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't Leo face Jack Brisco and not Terry Funk for the World Title. And didn't the match go to the full time limit with Burke winning one fall but could not gain the belt because it was 2/3 falls match??? I was broadcasting the event at the Halifax Forum, clearly remember this!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.58.225 (talk) 16:20, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
