Thank you today for God of War (series), "about the God of War video game series, one of the biggest video game franchises of the last decade. It has become a flagship title for the PlayStation brand, and the character Kratos is one of PlayStation's most popular characters. The series consists of seven games (with an eighth in development), having appeared on the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation Portable, and remastered ports appearing on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and PlayStation 4. There was also an installment released for mobile phones. The series expanded into a franchise with the release of a comic series, two novels, a web-based graphic novel, toys, prop replicas, and other merchandise.

AWE Championship

[edit]

The start of the WWE Championship article literally stars with "The title was introduced in 1963 with Buddy Rogers becoming the first champion. " - So no, the history of a company is not really necessary in an article on the championship itself. MPJ-DK (talk) 01:37, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MPJ-DK: It does start with that, but right after that sentence, it says how the title was created with Capitol Wrestling splitting from the NWA to become the WWWF, and thus establishing the WWWF World Championship. A proper history section states how we got to the creation of the title, not simply stating it was "first teased on a YouTube channel". That's not history to how the title was established. --JDC808 ♫ 04:46, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes "the creation of the title", which does not mean "All In", AEW funded by the Kahn's blah-blah-blah - that is how AEW was created. In the WWE Championship there was actually a backstory to the championship which is what the background explains, not the creation of Capitol Wrestling. As for stating "first teased on a YouTube channel", I simply removed the irrelevant info and no one seems to have added anything relevant to the actual championship. MPJ-DK (talk) 11:38, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, it doesn't explain the creation of Capitol Wrestling, that already existed, but it does briefly explain the creation of the World Wide Wrestling Federation (which is what Capitol became), and thus the creation of the WWWF championship. That's exactly what's happening here. Brief history of the founding of the company (which began with All In), which is what lead to the creation of the title. --JDC808 ♫ 11:57, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually it is all about the championship, the reason it was created to replace the NWA title as the top title in the company - background on the championship itself. "All In" is background on the company, the "trademarks were filed and speculation happened" is definitly crufty trivia that has nothing to do with the championship. If it was boiled down to AEW was founded on XX and in the build up to their first show they introduced the championship" or something along those lines that's appropriate for the article, but the rest of the tex that was basically copied and repeated almost verbaum from other AEW articles is just padding an article with irrelevant information. MPJ-DK (talk) 12:04, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're missing the point. It still gives a brief description of the founding of the company. It's why the title was created. Those events, beginning with All In, are what lead to the creation of the title. --JDC808 ♫ 12:14, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is no point to "get" since it says nothing about the "founding of the company" other than n the 1950s, Capitol Wrestling Corporation (CWC) was a member of the NWA and by 1963, its executives held a controlling stake over NWA operations so 13 years or more in one sentence, not a whole paragraph on about 10 months and no intricate details. The AEW equivalent would be basically "company was made official Jan 1, they announced the ceation of the championship prior to their debut show DON" because from a title perspective that is all it needs. Does the 24/7 title need have "Well Captitol Wrestling was created in 1953, blah, blah blah and that's why the company has a 24/7 championship" in the article? of course not. But I can type until I am blue in the face, the point is already missed and by now I could care less if it gets all fanboy trivia'ed up. MPJ-DK (talk) 13:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Wtf? There's no fanboy trivia here. The 24/7 Championship is a new title introduced in a company that has been around for decades and there was no speculation or anything about that title until it was randomly announced at Money in the Bank that they were gonna debut a new title. This is a new title introduced in a brand new company. --JDC808 ♫ 21:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So no examples?

[edit]

Doesn't make sense except that each and every single championship article is like that, so it made sense to every single editor who's worked on those pages. And I guess "Bold, Revert, Discuss" just stops at Revert for you? MPJ-DK (talk) 01:05, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You cited the MOS, but the MOS does not support your claim. But examples other than the 24/7 Championship: WWE Championship, WWE Raw Women's Championship, WWE SmackDown Women's Championship, WWE United States Championship, WWE Intercontinental Championship, WWE Raw Tag Team Championship, WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championship, WWE Cruiserweight Championship, NXT Championship, NXT Women's Championship, NXT North American Championship, NXT Tag Team Championship, WWE United Kingdom Championship, NXT UK Women's Championship, NXT UK Tag Team Championship, and WWE Women's Tag Team Championship. Basically all of WWE's current titles, with the small exception of the WWE Universal Championship, which has "Reigns" as a sub of "Title history". Furthermore, all of Impact's championships: Impact World Championship, Impact World Tag Team Championship, Impact Knockouts Championship, and Impact X Division Championship. Almost all of ROH's championships: ROH World Championship, ROH World Television Championship, ROH World Tag Team Championship, and ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship. The Women of Honor World Championship has "Reigns" and "Combined reigns" as a sub of "Title history. Do you need more? Some of these have a couple of extra sections and sub-sections, but in terms of "Reigns" and "Title history", they're not separated and all but two here have "Title history" as a section, and in their case, "Reigns" is a sub under it, not separated from it. --JDC808 ♫ 01:20, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes well done you, citing plenty of examples where the championship list is split out. Did you click through to the lists? Did you make a note of the header each list is under? So the majority of your examples actually support what I added for the list portion, but thank you for doing my research for you. Overwhelming majority for the table section being labeled "Title history" as I stated. MPJ-DK (talk) 01:52, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
What? Well no shit I looked at each article that are about championships. This is a championship article, not a list of champions list, which now appears to be what you're confusing this as. And with the examples, like stated, only two have a header titled "Title history", under which there is a sub-section titled "Reigns" (not split from each other). The rest are actually by the MOS and do not have a header titled "Title history". So no, none of those support what you stated. You split "Reigns" and "Title history" from each other on the WWE 24/7 Championship article. You put "Reigns" as its own separate section above "Title history" while "Title history" was its own section that contained only the reigns table (your revision). The MOS states that the table goes under the header "Reigns" until the table reaches 10+, after which, it is split into a list of champions article. The 24/7 Championship article has not reached that many reigns to have its own separate list of champions. --JDC808 ♫ 02:40, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sure, none of the examples support that the championship table goes under the "Title history" header, right? Wanna look at indy, japanese or Mexican title articles where they are not split? Or just jump ahead to where you come up with some other reason why a few articles should be inconsistent with 99% of similar articles. MPJ-DK (talk) 04:00, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Look, you are the one who originally cited the MOS, which does not support the formatting that you are stating for championship articles, regardless if there are other articles without a separate list that have what you are stating. I've cited the MOS and what it actually says and provided several examples that are in line with the MOS. Since you brought up Mexican titles, lets look at the one that you nominated for FAC and I reviewed and supported: the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship. Oh, would you look at that, it is also in line with the MOS, just like the examples I gave. If we look at the IWGP Heavyweight Championship (which is actually a list and not an article), it does have "Title history" and "Reigns" headers, but it does not have another header titled "History" (and really, "Title history" there should just be renamed to "History"). But, if you notice there, the table is under "Reigns" and not how you had changed the 24/7 Championship article to be (you put the table under "Title history" while also having a separate "History" section). --JDC808 ♫ 04:28, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So you cling to the 1% to prove your point, as I stated jump ahead to where you come up with some other reason why a few articles should be inconsistent with 99% of similar articles. Don't bother replying, I've already read your answer several times. MPJ-DK (talk) 04:39, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, the MOS, which you are flat out ignoring. I've cited several examples that support it, you've cited none. I looked at every active championship listed at 2019 in professional wrestling#Title changes. Some are in line with the MOS, others are not. The ones that are not are actually lists and not actual articles, which actually further proves my point that you are confusing the 24/7 Championship article as a list. --JDC808 ♫ 05:17, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Failure to "D"

[edit]

As in WP:BRD, you once again only get the revert part down and communicate via reverts and edit summaries instead of engaging in a discussion. MPJ-DK (talk) 02:02, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't revert. Assuming that you're referring to the Hall of Famer bit with Bret Hart. Wrestlinglover removed and suggested to put "retired wrestler" and that's what I did (though worded as "wrestling legend"). --JDC808 ♫ 02:04, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Excuse the Princess Bride quote - but there is no guarantee that the match will actually happen, with those people, on that date and that the match will have a conclusive outcome. Match is announced, which is all we can say at this point. MPJ-DK (talk) 00:42, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, I know what it means. The only information (including the hidden information) is what has been announced. We can't predict that there's a possibility that something may change. --JDC808 ♫ 06:44, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bayley - Women's Grand Slam

[edit]

Only one that seems to have an issue with the NXT Title being included is you.

Instead of taking it upon yourself, take it to the article's talk page, see what others think, they'll come to a consensus, and we'll see what happens.

Works better than the tit-for-tat thing.

Vjmlhds (talk) 03:54, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds: The thing is, there is not an official WWE source that supports its inclusion. There is one source that lists the titles and calls it the Grand Slam, which does not include the NXT title. Right now, you're going off of word-of-mouth from Bayley herself (which we can't use, otherwise, we'd be listing Charlotte Flair too), and third-party sources that have no verification that WWE supports the NXT title's inclusion. We, as in Wikipedia, do not decide the requirements of an accomplishment. What you or whoever needs to do is find an official WWE source (and not Bayley simply saying it) that actually lists the NXT Women's Championship, because at the moment, you're reverting sourced information that outlines which titles are included. --JDC808 ♫ 04:24, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

24/7 title change in Frankfurt

[edit]

Hey there, I saw you reverted the edit I've made concerning R-Truth's loss at Frankfurt airport. As someone who lives an hour away from Frankfurt, I can tell you for sure there are no three airports. I guess you saw the the disambiguation page, but I can clear that up for you. First of all, all three belong together. Flugplatz Frankfurt-Egelsbach is a small airfield for light aircraft. Frankfurt–Hahn Airport is a small subsidary of Frankfurt airport (and nowhere close Frankfurt, actually it is in a different state) that only operates flights within Europe and the Mediterranean Sea. Frankfurt airport is the only airport that can actually host transatlantic flights and airplanes the size used by WWE. So yeah, I hope that clears things up a little bit.--DasallmächtigeJ (talk) 10:50, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, okay. Yeah, I was just going off of the airports listed under Frankfurt#Airports but honestly didn't read their descriptions. --JDC808 ♫ 12:50, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for WWE 24/7 Championship

[edit]

On 1 July 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article WWE 24/7 Championship, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the WWE 24/7 Championship, a professional wrestling championship, can be defended anytime, anywhere, as long as a WWE referee is present? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/WWE 24/7 Championship.

[edit]

I never tell you to f-off. HOW Dare you accuse me of that!!!! You seem to have a major problem with me. I suggest you find some inner peace. I removed whatever your put in my talk page because it was irrelevant. P.S you spelt "umpteenth" wrong, proofread your edits next time. Zerobrains94 (talk) 10:16, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Zerobrains94: You seem to be forgetful, because in your edit summary on your talk page, you said "Stop polluting my talk page with idiocracy JDC808" (i.e., that was basically telling me to f-off). It wasn't irrelevant, you just chose to ignore it as you continue to make the same mistakes.
Here's my problem with you. Back in March, you said "Let's start anew on a clean slate" and I agreed. But then in June after I corrected some issues with reasonable and civil explanations, you go and make a comment like this: "Really JDC808, You must conduct some English lessons for me since you are a master at the language. (1) why is McIntyre/Shane referred to as "the two"? and (2) what is the need of the word " suddenly"?, no need to be dramatic". You basically became a complete ass towards me from that point as I tried explaining myself, but you deleted it, then I tried explaining further, and that's when you told me to "Stop polluting" your talk page. On top of that, you make reverts with no explanation despite there being an obvious dispute. --JDC808 ♫ 11:20, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well "Stop polluting my talk page with idiocracy" and "f-off" are two different comments. It is your interpretation, not mine.Zerobrains94 (talk) 12:24, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how to say this without just sounding rude, but you have poor comprehension, which is another issue. There are a lot of issues that we wouldn't even be arguing about if you knew how to comprehend them (particularly the meanings behind phrases and words). Yes, those are two different comments, but only in the words that are being used. When you said to "stop polluting" your talk page, that was basically the same thing as telling me to f-off (if you meant anything other than that, then please enlighten me, because anyone reading that comment would come to the same conclusion I have). --JDC808 ♫ 12:38, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't have comprehension issues, don't judge me whether it's because of my edits, my typos or whatever. When I said "stop polluting my talk page" I meant that you were explaining something that I already know so there was no need to type out a long paragraph once again. It's simple as that, I will tell you straight like it is. If I wanted to tell you f-off then you would've seen it in my comments. Anyway, you come across to me as a rude person anyway. Zerobrains94 Zerobrains94 (talk) 15:54, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Really, you already knew it? Then why do you continue to make the same mistakes despite being told multiple times why you're wrong? That's having comprehension issues. There's been countless times things have had to be explained to you because you did not understand it (that stuff you deleted being one of them). You can try all you want to say that you weren't basically telling me to f-off, but you really were or else you wouldn't have made such a rude-ass and childish comment. I might come off as rude, but at least I'm not rude enough to make that kind of comment. --JDC808 ♫ 21:20, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]


So you're offended because I'm correcting you on a typo error but what about when you told me to proofread my edits and correct my typo errors as well not long ago? That's not childish and it's not a petty issue. Shame on you, get a life!Zerobrains94 (talk) 09:40, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
So instead of responding to what I said in my previous post, you go and change the subject to something completely irrelevant (and something I wasn't even offended by)? That's some great rebuttal (that was sarcasm in case you couldn't tell). But if you are talking about this edit summary, that was just in response to you bringing up one typo I made since you decided to make a big deal about it. An edit summary cannot be edited to fix a mistake, unlike the content of an article, which you can reread after you submit and fix any mistakes you might have overlooked. When I have said proofread in the past, this is what I was referring to because there have been several mistakes, not just one little typo (I feel like I'm having déjà vu). Again, comprehension. Yes, that is a petty issue and comments like "stop polluting my talk page", telling me to get a life, and mocking me are childish. --JDC808 ♫ 10:15, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How right you are, I couldn't come up with a counter-argument or an answer to your question. By the way, what was the question because I don't see one in your previous comment? Zerobrains94 (talk) 11:02, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how you don't see it as it was literally the very first thing in that post. In regard to the repetition issue of names and deleting what I had posted on your talk page, you had said "you were explaining something that I already know so there was no need to type out a long paragraph once again." I responded with "Really, you already knew it? Then why do you continue to make the same mistakes despite being told multiple times why you're wrong?" --JDC808 ♫ 11:17, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

God of War (2018 video game)

[edit]

Hello:

The copy edit you requested from the Guild of Copy Editors of the article God of War (2018 video game) has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I notice that Wikilinks have been added in the appropriate fields in citations. However, every instance of IGN or CBS Interactive has been linked, for example, not just the first instance. Since terms are generally only linked once at their first use in articles I assume the same rule applies to citations, but I cannot find where this is covered in the MOS. Perhaps you know definitively. Other than that, I see no issues with the article.

Best of luck with the FA process.

Regards,

Twofingered Typist (talk) 18:59, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Twofingered Typist: Thanks, and in regard to the repeated links in the citations, MOS:REPEATLINK states "Citations stand alone in their usage, so there is no problem with repeating the same link in many citations within an article" --JDC808 ♫ 02:12, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know. Thanks! Twofingered Typist (talk) 11:18, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kofi also credited as champion

[edit]

I already laid out my case on the talk page of the WWE SD Tag Team Championship article.

Please don't blindly revert things - especially that are sourced.

Again - no source says Kofi IS NOT a champion - it was only assumed.

It's better to have a source that straight up tells you something (like the video confirming Kofi's reign), than ones where you have to guess/assume/infer ("Well Kofi's picture isn't shown here, so he must not be champion.").

You see where I'm getting at?

Vjmlhds (talk) 03:50, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds: First off, it was not a blind revert. I explained the situation for why I reverted (there's an ongoing discussion regarding the matter). Putting "your case" on the talk page does not automatically mean that your edit should be kept. No, when there's disagreement, the article (or that particular thing on the article), should stay as it previously was until a consensus is met by way of discussion. That has not happened yet. What I see are conflicting sources. Yes, it's annoying but it's what we've been dealt with. Also, it's actually better for us to not include something than to include it and be wrong. --JDC808 ♫ 03:59, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have since made an edit that does indeed acknowledge the conflicting sources. In this compromise, Kofi doesn't get blanket full credit, but also isn't disregarded either. Sometimes the world isn't black and white - just grey. When you get down to it, we're not dealing with right and wrong here - just interpretations (stuff getting thrown at the wall, and we're left to decipher it). Vjmlhds (talk) 15:12, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Repetition

[edit]

Okay true, but Stratus' is only mentioned twice in the paragraph (excluding her full name) so how is that repetition. Flair' is mentioned thrice in the paragraph. Not sure how is that repetition. Look at the paragraph detailing the Universal Championship. Lesnar and Rollins is mentioned repeatedly yet you claim its repetition for Stratus. Oh, is it because Trish is "the greatest" so everyone must know she's a seven-time champion. Plus you keeping adding "(with Paul Heyman)" next to Brock Lesnar in the matches table. Anyway I have decided not to revert the edit because it will lead to an endless loop of petty arguments between us. The truth is: "Whatever you say, always goes because you are the president of Wikipedia!" Zerobrains94 (talk) 05:37, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's all in how it's structured. There's enough breaks in the Universal Championship match between the names (with the exception of the last sentence, but it needs the clarification). And why did you bring up something that's long gone in the past and has nothing to do with the topic at hand (in regard to adding Paul Heyman back, I added it like twice, but haven't since to appease you)? Also, please stop with the childish comments (calling me the "president of Wikipedia!"). --JDC808 ♫ 05:50, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at SummerSlam (2019) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. StaticVapor message me! 21:03, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • I just feel like it is pretty pointless to revert three times within 24 hours... over the words in a sentence. I don't understand why someone would revert when two different editors disagreed with them. You do good work around here, but I also have seen you rarely add unsourced content to articles too. WP:V should never be ignored even a couple times. StaticVapor message me! 21:05, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • @STATicVapor: The last revert was not only over that repetition issue (more than that had been reverted, which you basically blindly did). This issue goes beyond this article. I've explained countless times to Zerobrains94 to try and avoid repetition, but he just will not listen and I don't understand why (I've explained this on his and my own talk page, and if you look right above this post, he said he would not change it, but then went and changed it the next day). I'm surprised you're actually in agreeance with him here. We should strive for better, stronger language, not repetitive language (unless it's unavoidable).
    • As to "rarely [adding] unsourced content", everyone does it from time to time, and the times I have done it, I didn't have the source at hand, but I knew someone else would take care of it. --JDC808 ♫ 21:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Any other suggestions

[edit]

Just out of curiosity, besides seven-time champion, what would you have refer to Trish Stratus in order to avoid repetition? I assume is it because that Flair mentioned "seven-time champion" to Stratus during their confrontation on SmackDown? I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I just would like to know the reasoning behind it. Zerobrains94 (talk) 13:25, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In part, yes, it was because Flair said that and it subsequently adds more importance to who Stratus is and why it's an important match for Flair in her claim to be the greatest female wrestler. Hall of Famer could have been used, but it's already been used. Any words that describe who she is can be used. The two most important things in regard to Stratus' career are her being a Hall of Famer and being a seven-time women's champion, which was the most (not counting Fabulous Moolah's unrecognized reigns) until Flair broke that record. --JDC808 ♫ 20:49, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

FA review?

[edit]

Hey. I noticed your current FAC nomination, and was wondering if you'd be interested in trading reviews? I'd love to get as much feedback as possible this time around for my nomination, and would be more than prepared to review yours in return. I understand if you don't have the time though. Kind regards, Homeostasis07 (talk · contribs) 01:06, 29 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

24/7

[edit]

Please, remember the Style guide for the notes colum.

  • the new champion defeated someone other than the previous champion.
  • If the new champion received the title through means other than a match.
  • Match types that were not standard singles matches.
  • Why the title was vacated or abandoned.
  • The date when the match was aired.
  • If the promotion recognizes the start or end date of the reign differently than what actually occurred.

Things like if the referee was dressed as a nurse, R-truth dresses a a pregnant woman, being attack before the title change are things we don't include in the notes section. I agree with the "where happened", since people can see it's not a wrestling match, but I think this info is useless and too detailed.A lot of wrestlers lost ther titles after being distracted, ilegal attacks, but aren't included in their articles. Look the WWE Title, Mankind title reign. It's just "This was a no disqualification match. WWE recognizes Mankind's reign as beginning on January 4, 1999, when the episode aired on tape delay.", not "During the match, Steve Austin interfered, attacking The Rock with a steel chair an pull Mankind over him for the pin." or Yokozuna's "Yokozuna pinned Hart after Mr Fuji threw him salt to the eyes". --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:06, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing I doubt is the 24/7 rule suspension but it was just sporadic times (not a long time suspension like the Hardcore title) and has no relationship with the title change, since happened after the suspension is lifted. Also, it's covered in the main article. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:09, 18 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why the reverts?

[edit]

Whoa...you went gonzo doing reverts on a bunch of my edits...what's up with that?

Vjmlhds (talk) 23:20, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As per the reason of my revert at WWE Universal Championship. You went and added the NXT titles onto the main roster titles (and vice versa), but NXT is not considered main roster (not yet anyways). NXT is still considered separate from Raw and SmackDown (they're not even included in the upcoming draft, which is an indication of their status). We don't need to be intermingling them like how you were trying to do. --JDC808 ♫ 23:36, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, WWE doesn't use the term "main roster" (which is really a smark originated term), they instead refer to NXT as the third global brand alongside Raw and SD, so that would indicate they consider NXT (at least marginally) on the same level as the other 2. Vjmlhds (talk) 00:24, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, regarding the draft - NXT has just debuted to a wider audience, so what WWE is doing is establishing those wrestlers to a mainstream audience, and don't want to start rearranging it right after it debuts. Once NXT gets a foothold, then we'll likely see them involved in drafts. It's not a slight to NXT, it's just that they want to set clear boundaries with Raw and SD, instead of all this free wheeling "Wild Card" stuff. Vjmlhds (talk) 00:31, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter where the term "main roster" originated. It's a widely used industry term, and the WWE has in fact used that term. Just because it's the "3rd global brand", it doesn't mean it's the main roster. Your response about the draft is all personal opinion OR. There was a discussion about NXT's status. You were in the minority on trying to bring it up to essentially equal or on the same level as Raw and SmackDown. NXT is practically considered its own separate entity (i.e., having its own separate Triple Crown designation, and the fact that after wrestlers get to Raw and SmackDown, their championship records are essentially a separate thing or non-existent, for example with Charlotte Flair, they don't include the NXT Women's Championship when talking about how many times she's been women's champion). --JDC808 ♫ 04:18, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you're referring to the discussion on the WP:PW page, then no consensus was ever reached. It was a stalemate that was just kinda dropped with no definitive decision reached. I'm not gonna go to war over this, but I do think you're being a tad too strident here. Vjmlhds (talk) 04:31, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm referring to that one. Regardless of consensus, you started adding information to these articles, despite being in the minority in that discussion. The discussion stalled, but most were in agreeance that NXT was not on the same level as Raw and SmackDown and is still considered below them. --JDC808 ♫ 05:02, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

24/7 hijinks - gotta love 'em.

[edit]

Leave the 24/7 title matches on the chart.

You said they've never been included before, but that's only because there's never been title changes on a PPV before - always been on Raw or SD, or on Youtube/WWE.com when they've been on the golf course/airport/wedding/doctor's office/etc.

Can't include things when they don't happen.

Vjmlhds (talk) 14:15, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's false. Happened at Clash of Champions (title didn't change hands, but a "title defense" occurred). Again, these were not actual contested matches on the card, so no, they should not be included on the match card table (they can be included in the prose of the Event section though). Also, stop trying to use third party sources to back you up as you did here. Yes, third party sources like CBS are reliable and should be used, but this is not a case where you use a third party to contradict the first party. CBS might list those, but WWE, the ones who run and operate the show, do not list them as a contested matches on the card (because they weren't). --JDC808 ♫ 20:08, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GGR Title

[edit]

Stop removing this already. It's completely sourced, listed in the championship title history on wwe.com and constantly mentioned in Braun Strowman's list of accomplishments, whether that be on wwe.com or the graphics on SmackDown this past Friday. The fact that WWE immediately abandoned the title is frankly irrelevant because it fits the definition of a former championship. So whether you think it should be there or not is not important. If you think for whatever reason (because apparently this affects you) that it wasn't a title long enough to be included then take it up on the talk page.

PS, I just kinda reverted your edits because I'm tired of manually re-adding a source title belt, so sorry if you made any additional edits that need to be added back into the current revision. Just stop removing a perfectly genuine entry... It's not like someone is trying to add the UUDD Championship (not that it's defunct or anything) 174.125.60.159 (talk) 20:12, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Zerobrains94, unless you're trying to resolve some kind of issue or need to explain reasons for an edit, please don't post stuff like this on my talk page. It's pointless and serves no purpose other than you trying to agitate me. --JDC808 ♫ 19:56, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gable

[edit]

Please stop changing this back to Chad, doing so will be considered vandalism because the name change is sourced (https://www.wwe.com/shows/smackdown/wwe-friday-night-smackdown-oct-11-2019/article/king-corbin-def-shorty-gable). It's stupid AF, but this is official so leave it be already. He was announced as such multiple times, across multiple matches, had the nameplate say "Shorty Gable" and the commentators referred to him as such nonstop. So drop it. 75.121.31.179 (talk) 19:01, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, your constant changing of his name to what is obviously a joke would be considered vandalism. His WWE.com profile is still Chad Gable. --JDC808 ♫ 04:04, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You are currently the only person insisting it be changed back to Chad. Please stop. The name change is official, sourced and final. I get you like the name Chad Gable, me too, but see here's the thing. That doesn't matter. Set your personal opinions aside and just report the facts. Facts are WWE has officially changed his in-ring name. You have no sources to state this is "just some running gag" and even if it was, the banner, ring announcers and commentators named his such so that is final. Please stop. 75.121.31.179 (talk) 18:44, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It does not matter if I am the only one insisting to NOT change his name to Shorty (that's actually false as others have reverted you as well). You are the one here who needs to stop. His WWE.com profile does not say Shorty Gable. It is still Chad Gable. That trumps the source you are trying to use. This is not a personal opinion of what name I like better. This is based on his official superstar page on the website of his employee, which once again, says Chad Gable, not Shorty Gable. Also, as I mentioned in an edit summary on the drafting pool list, he is listed as Chad Gable, not Shorty Gable. --JDC808 ♫ 18:50, 13 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, it just became official today (by way of his superstar page, which is what we go by). This is a user talk page, but it is still a talk page and it was addressing the content of the article (you posted on my talk page, and never once said anything about the article's talk page, so instead of splitting a dispute across two talk pages, I kept it at one). ----JDC808 ♫ 20:12, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

They are still statistics

[edit]

They are still statistics on the wrestlers that won them at that current time. Even if it's one, its still valid statistics to keep track on. You can changed them up when there's more wrestlers that won them, no? Even if you found it redundant, I'm sure that there are still people who find it interesting *such as me for one) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shad2810 (talk • contribs) 20:03, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how Wikipedia works. There's only been one champion. Jericho automatically checks all of those boxes as he has been the only champion. There's no need for Wikipedia to state the obvious. --JDC808 ♫ 20:08, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(No Idea how to reply so Ill reply it like so, It's also 4am here so spellings might be wrong please excuse me). There are indie wrestling wikipedia pages that follows as so even with one title reign. I followed as such. You can still list them accordingly. When there's another winner we can just edit it as such as well. Wouldn't it be better? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shad2810 (talk • contribs) 20:13, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You did it mostly correct. The only thing you need to do is indent your response with one more colon than what my response had (I had one colon, so you would have two, and so on). But in response to your post, no, it would not be better. Just because other stuff exists doesn't mean we do that on every article. Also, key word there is indie wrestling. Those do not get the kind of attention that big promotions do and things like this issue slip through the cracks. The info is still there, it is just hidden until the next champion is crowned, then we can unhide and edit the parts that need editing. --JDC808 ♫ 20:24, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
(Hope this is correct, how do you sign your post then?) Fair enough if it's just hidden. I thought you may have delete it which I dont appreciate it as well as calling stats pointless since I work as a statistic person. I would also say that "Heaviest Champion and age should still be there" non the less since they aren't exactly "obvious", Most Reign and Longest reign i can see why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shad2810 (talk • contribs) 20:29, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Indent is correct. For signing your post, at the top left of the editing box, there's buttons for bold and italics. The third button from the left (kinda looks like a cursive signature) is the button to press to add your signature (just make sure your cursor is at the end of your text when you press it). You can also just type four tildes (~) at the end of your message (the button is easier). In response to your message, no it's not deleted, just hidden. I didn't say that statistics were pointless. They are important, it's just a bit silly to list them at the moment when there's only been one champion, so there's no one to compare him to. Because he's been the only champion, it technically makes him both the oldest and youngest champion and both the heaviest and lightest champion. --JDC808 ♫ 22:27, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Aite found it I hope this one is correct as well. We could just hidden the repeating bits though, like for oldest and youngest champion, we can remove the youngest one (since I would say, most if not all would be younger than him theoretically. And as such, the oldest champion stats would still be there, since well.. his a champion. --Shad2810 (talk) 05:31, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't get it. Why there is a limit when Jericho won the title? He is getting older, he is the oldest champion at 49, not 48. Some independent and mexican titles are held for years. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 20:07, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

True, he is getting older, but we track it based on the age they were when they won the title. This is what the MOS says. --JDC808 ♫ 20:18, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Well, sometimes the MOS is wrong or we can change it. For me, it's a nonsense, the limit should be when he lost the title. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 21:13, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That would be something to take up with the project. --JDC808 ♫ 22:17, 11 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@HHH Pedrigree: He wasn't 49 when he won the title. He was 48. You don't go by current age. If we did, that would mean it would have to be changed every year if he held it for years. That's not how things work. Don't change it. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 08:06, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Defenses

[edit]

Don't revert the AEW World Championship article. AEW tracks win-loss records not the amount of defenses per reign. You want it apart of the title history. That means the burden is on you to prove that AEW tracks defenses. You don't just add because you think it should be there. That's not how this works. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 08:12, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

First off, don't make it as if "I want it there." It was placed there by another editor early on and I actually questioned it but did not remove it. It then started to get removed following this last PPV, particularly by Galatz under the claim that they do not track it. However, you nor him have any actual proof that they do not track it, which is why I have been restoring based on the fact that all of their matches are indeed tracked, which would include title matches/defenses. --JDC808 ♫ 18:01, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You keep reverting, so you do want it there. Tracking win and losses is not tracking the amount of defenses per reign.. Show me where they track the amount of defenses then and only then will it be added. I went through pages and pages of results and that is not something they track. But again, the burden is on you to prove that they track the amount of defenses per reign as you keep reverting. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 18:39, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a matter of me wanting it there, it's a matter of it being removed without proof to back your claim that they do not track it. Know the difference. I say the burden is on you all to prove they do not track it as that statistic had been there for over 2 months and only now is it being removed. --JDC808 ♫ 19:27, 14 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It shouldn't just be added because you and or others deem it should be there. You can't tell me that it should be because you haven't brought fourth anything to show it does. I've done my due diligence. You should do yours. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 03:09, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The WP:BURDEN is always on the person who wants it added, not the person who wants it removed. I work for AEW so I am going to add me to their personnel list until you can provide me with a source that specifically says I do not work there. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 16:11, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Big Four"

[edit]

Hello, I see that you added information to the Royal Rumble articles. I'm concerned about some of the phrasing as it related to the "Big Four" pay-per-views. This is not a term that was used when some of these events aired. In the RR88 article, you say it went on to become one of the Big Four. That seems fine. However, for RR94, calling it one of the Big Four doesn't work well, in my opinion. There were five annual PPVs at the time, and the WWF didn't distinguish them into tiers. The idea of different tiers of PPVs didn't come until the In Your House events, and King of the Ring was still considered to be in the top tier (the Big Five, if you will, although I don't remember anyone ever calling them that). Is there a way we can fine-tune the phrasing so that it fits each article? Thanks. GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:04, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@GaryColemanFan: I've done some tweaking. Not knowing exactly when the "Big Four" phrase began, I went up to either the 1997 or 1998 event with it saying "It has become one of the "Big Four"..." (as opposed to "It is" on the earlier ones). If you think that is not enough, feel free to further tweak it. --JDC808 ♫ 01:48, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

December 2019

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Elimination Chamber (2019) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I assume you're talking about my edit at WWE Universal Championship. Yes, The Fiend's status was SmackDown, but the title did not change to SmackDown until after he won it. --JDC808 ♫ 16:42, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WWE 24/7 Championship changes

[edit]

I am sorry I did not update the rest of the article, but I wanted to wait and see if by the end of the night R-Truth would win back the title, like he usually does, before changing the article completely. I have changed the article completely before only to change it back due to Truth winning it back later the same day. I just wanted to wait and see if by the end of the night he would get it back and then I would have changed it. I Am Awesome 061796 (talk) 03:06, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

While I can understand the fact that the title often changes multiple times during one show (which can be annoying to keep up with in terms of updating the articles here), the whole article still needs updated as anyone can be reading the article at anytime and it appears wrong if the lead says one thing but the reigns table says something else (going by your approach in waiting, it would probably be best to just wait until the whole show is over before even updating the article with the first title change of the night; though someone else of course could update it while you were waiting). --JDC808 ♫ 03:16, 14 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Royal Rumble

[edit]

I'm not gonna make a stink about the 2020 Rumble, but can we agree to this going forward:

For future Rumbles - now that it has been established that NXT Titles are also options for the winner - can we just automatically include NXT in the mix, now that the precedent has been set?

Vjmlhds (talk) 13:56, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What precedent was set? They have had NXT wrestlers in the rumble for several years now. Nothing was promoted on NXT at all regarding this event. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 14:51, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The precedent that NXT titles are options for the Rumble winner - wouldn't that give NXT a stake in the Rumble automatically (again this is for future Rumbles, not 2020, as that ship has sailed)? Vjmlhds (talk) 18:53, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hall of fame

[edit]

Similar to other articles, like the 2011 and 2012 edition, we onlu include the most prestigeous titles. Michaels and Edge titles aren't listed, just the most important ones. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:44, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That just seems wrong. It says "WWE recognized accolades". Not including those championships that they won in WWE in turn comes off as that WWE does not recognize them. Those older articles should be updated. And in response to the Hardcore and European titles not listed on JBL's page, they are listed on his Superstar page. --JDC808 ♫ 23:46, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Articles aren't needed to be updated. It's a brief summary of his accolades, no the whole thing. If you want to see every title Edge or Michaels won, see his article. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 00:08, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the point. It's "WWE recognized accolades", not "Some of WWE's recognized accolades". Their articles would list everything in and out of WWE, which the latter they do not recognize (with a few exceptions). --JDC808 ♫ 00:13, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's the way we do. [6] [7] --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 00:17, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just because that was done then does not mean it was right. --JDC808 ♫ 00:26, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For me, there is nothing wrong with the section. Just a small resume of his career, not an in-detail coverage of every title the wrestler won, since most of them aren't relevant for his hall of fame induction. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 01:04, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Aren't relevant? By who's criteria? WWE thinks their important enough to include on his Superstar page, so why would we not include them for his HoF accolades? --JDC808 ♫ 01:10, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Again, that's who works. If a wrestler held several titles, we include the major ones. If you want to know more, read the wrestler article. WWE includes in JBL profile since it's his official profile with every itle he won, no just a few. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 01:32, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's not who works? What? I'll reiterate a previous statement, but with a revision. It's "WWE recognized accolades" not what a select few Wikipedia editors decided were most important. --JDC808 ♫ 01:48, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Stop. If you think the project should to reevaluate, start a discussion in the talk page. Until then, the consensus is most notable titles. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:54, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@HHH Pedrigree: Actually, it's not. There is not a guideline in the style guide that says that. The discussion you linked halted, so no, there actually was not a consensus. --JDC808 ♫ 11:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I told you, that's how the project has worked for several years, and, per WP:CONSENSUS, "Any edit that is not disputed or reverted by another editor can be assumed to have consensus. Should that edit later be revised by another editor without dispute, it can be assumed that a new consensus has been reached.". As I showed you, there are several user who worked in that way for years. You want a change, ask for it. Until then, consensus remains the same. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:14, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HHH Pedrigree: But there was and is dispute, so no, there was and is not a consensus, which you aren't seeming to understand. Doesn't matter "how many users worked that way" if they were wrong. We are Wikipedia, an encyclopedia. We are not the ones who decide what is and is not recognized by the promotion who hosts/owns this Hall of Fame. And once again, the section is titled, "WWE recognized accolades" NOT what a select few Wikipedia editors decided were most important. It's titled "WWE recognized accolades" yet we're not listing what all they recognize. What sense does that make? --JDC808 ♫ 11:21, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You think we are wrong, i think we are right. You are free to start a discussion in the project talk page--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:30, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@HHH Pedrigree: It's because you are wrong. You're saying one thing but meaning something else. Again, what sense does that make? I've pointed out the faults in your argument and all you can come up with is "I think we're right" based on a false consensus. --JDC808 ♫ 11:34, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The idea for the "WWE recognized..." was to include just titles regoniced by WWE (WWE, WCW, ECW, AWA and, lately, some NJPW titles like Liger). Just to exclude titles for other promotions that users included, like TNA titles for Sting and Kurt Angle. It doesn't mean "every WWE recognized accolades", just the most important [8]. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:50, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HHH Pedrigree: But that's not what it says. It says "WWE recognized accolades", not what some Wikipedia editors decided are most important of what WWE recognizes. I keep repeating myself because you are not understanding what is being said. You are still contradicting your own words. There is nothing there that indicates to readers that we are only listing the most important accomplishments (and who are we to decide that anyways?), which is really the whole issue. --JDC808 ♫ 12:00, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New Day

[edit]

I saw your comment about how WWE is confusing as to whether or not to count all New Day's reigns as "Freebird".

My $0.02...truthfully, I think we (as in the collective Wiki "we") tried too hard to assume things ("well, it didn't count for Kofi here, and didn't count for Woods there) because of things like people not being in pictures and that kind of stuff.

End of the day, all New Day team reigns count as individual reigns for all 3 members...that's always been their deal.

Vjmlhds (talk) 23:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds: It wasn't so much of us assuming things, it was WWE putting out conflicting information where they did and did not recognize certain members. Like with their 5th reign, they put out an article about Kofi surpassing 1000 days as champion, but that was false. He would have actually been at like 1050 days at the time of that post if they had counted the team's 4th reign when he was WWE Champion (the math didn't add up). Then there's the legitimate fact that Woods was out for the entire 5th reign because he was injured (he wasn't even on TV during that time except for like an appearance on WWE Backstage). --JDC808 ♫ 00:07, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I guess...a little from column A, a little from column B, who knows? But all that being said, at least now we do have a clear statement from WWE.com that all team reigns count as individual reigns for all 3 New Day members, so it's a moot point. Vjmlhds (talk) 00:15, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article says that, Taker said he has no desire but he was ambiguous about retirement. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:59, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HHH Pedrigree: Yes, because they're speculating, despite what Undertaker explicitly stated (reliable sources can be wrong by the way). It is an issue to leave it as is because it ignores what he says, which was that he has no desire to wrestle again and he would only maybe return if Vince was in a pinch and it depended on the situation (i.e., the opponent and his own physical health). Also, why do you think the series was titled The Last Ride? Because it chronicled his "last ride" in wrestling (his last couple of years leading to his last match if that wasn't clear). --JDC808 ♫ 12:09, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You're speculating. "He has no desire, so he is retired". Like "the coat and the hat is in the ring, he is retired". Or "He wrestled The End of an Era match, he is retired". Sources (many of them9 stated that, he has not desire but didn't confirmed the retirement. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:18, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HHH Pedrigree: I'm not speculating. I'm going off what the man himself said. Also, the End of an Era match was an absolutely poor choice to use as it was never ever stated that either Undertaker or Triple H would be retiring after that match. Secondly, the coat and hat was legitimate speculation from all parties. But you know what makes this different from any previous scenario? We have direct word of mouth from The Undertaker himself, so again, it does not matter at all what those sources speculate. What Undertaker says trumps anything that any of those sources say. --JDC808 ♫ 12:27, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sources aren't speculating. Sources point he never talked about retired, just hinted. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:34, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HHH Pedrigree: If you truly believe that the sources are not speculating, then you should not be editing in regard to this topic. --JDC808 ♫ 12:41, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
They aren't speculating. You're the one who is removing WP:SECONDARY sources because you don't like them. BBC summarized it very well "His words suggest plans to retire after a career spanning three decades. But neither Mr Calaway nor the WWE have formally announced his retirement from the league." --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 14:09, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@HHH Pedrigree: Yes, they are speculating. Most wrestlers never right out say, "I'm retired". There's a difference between "not liking" them and them being wrong, which you apparently can't see. --JDC808 ♫ 05:38, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
No, they're not. You're speculating based on taker's words. Several secondary sources pointed he hinted the retirement, that's what the article says. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 09:21, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting assistance

[edit]

Hi JDC808,

I'm writing to you because you are listed as a member of the Wikiproject Pro Wrestling, and I'm in need of a third (actually fourth) opinion on two pro wrestling article. (Sorry to add to your burden. The current dispute won't go anywhere without external comments.)

The thing is, Hartley Jackson recently went through an AfD that arose a lengthy of discussion.
I will try to summarize the problem below.

Jammo85 had asked me for assistance in find sources to a certain fact, and I did find some good sources, but we are still facing opposition from another user in Hartley Jackson and The Mighty Don't Kneel (TMDK).
I would thus like to ask your opinion on the matter.

We would like to state "Hartley Jackson was part of The Mighty Don't Kneel in 2015 and 2016."

I have found two sources from websites of official pro wrestling events (they are archived, please give it a few minutes to load):

and Hartley appears on the TMDK side on both.

Also, there is also a listing of his appearances as TMDK here, which corroborates the above:

but this website is listed in one unofficial list of reliable sources as being Marginally reliable. Strictly used for match results and not other information. Takes user submissions but is reviewed by regional editors that verify all submissions before they are added to the database. The other party uses this against us, but I actually think it supports us, as we are actually only using results here. That is, we are not using the blog posts produced in cagematch (see [10]).

I thought the above sources were enough, but there are some more if you would like to see:[1][2][3].

  1. ^ Wrestle rampage's official ad on social media [1].
  2. ^ Greer, Jamie (2020-05-05). "The Mighty, Too: Shane Thorne & Brendan Vink Continue TMDK Legacy". Last Word on Pro Wrestling. Retrieved 2020-09-26.
  3. ^ Other sources on this piece of information are: [2], which is an article from a podcast on wrestling, which mentions Hartley as being part of TMDK; and also [3] [4], which are official match advertisements from Wrestling Rampage, and show Hartley in the TMDK team. All links were accessed on October 7, 2020.

Can I have your opinion on this?

In title history defence include only successful or all the defence King Rudra (talk) 07:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@King Rudra: Title defenses are only included if and only if the promotion tracks the title defenses. If the promotion does in fact track the title defenses, then it would be successful defenses, because unsuccessful means they lost the title. There might be some variables, such as a DQ finish or no-contest, but I don't know all of those details as I mainly only work on WWE and AEW articles, and neither of those promotions track title defenses. --JDC808 ♫ 05:17, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source

[edit]

Are you serious right now? You attacking me because I did even provide a reliable source for the Royal Rumble (2021) edit. Let me get this straight. Vjmlhds joined Wikipedia since 2008. That includes you JDC808, you joined Wikipedia since 2008 as well, that's 13 years. I joined Wikipedia in 2017 so I have only been a member for 3 years now. Yet somehow, you think I know where to provide a reliable source or if I'm knowledgeable in that field to provide reputable sources. Been a member on Wikipedia for many years does not mean they should know which sources to make use of. I have to admit that there are still a couple of things I still need to learn in Wikipedia. If you knew where to quote a reputable source, then quit your complaining and edit it yourself. There is no need to act sarcastic and attack other users as if they have been on Wikipedia for so long that they knew which source to make use of. Anyway, I thought that we both put that crazy 'rivalry' behind us, (edits regarding repetition and other issues). I even apologized, yet somehow you still assume I know this and that and then make crazy comments. (one edit I remember is you assumed I knew what 'under the bus' means.)

In regards to providing sources, I aim to better myself, do my homework and locate the source and make use of it when editing articles. Zerobrains94 (talk) 17:42, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Zerobrains94: You took that way too personally. Stop making these things so personal. That's a major reason previous issues between us have occurred. You pointing out the fact that Vjmlhds has been on Wikipedia as long as I have is proof enough that he should know how to locate and cite sources. It's really not that hard and is one of the first things you should learn to do when you start editing (if you're going to be editing frequently and on a more serious level, which you have). You've been on here 3 years, which is more than enough time to learn how to cite sources (even if the format is bare minimum, for example, just using the barest of formats: <ref>url of the source</ref>, but you can also just copy-paste the previous source and replace the details). The sources we use for the Storyline section are almost always from the same website — Pro Wrestling Dot Net. All you have to do is click on the previous source used and find the article for the next episode. Also, I did find the source, because like 95% of the time, I'm the one who does, but others need to learn how to do it too if they're going to add new information. Vjmlhds added new information, but put it in a spot where it was being cited to the previous source (you edited what he added, which is why I also mentioned you in the edit summary). --JDC808 ♫ 18:26, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay fine, but regardless you should know that all users on Wikipedia are different individuals. Different things may affect users in a number of users, including personally. I'm not saying I took that personally. All I'm saying is just consider other users perspective and their sentiments.

Regarding editing pages and citing sources, I have to admit I took me a while to learn to do all of that properly when I first started editing.

Next time if I do provide a source, I will make use of Pro Wrestling Dot Net. Thanks for the heads up. Zerobrains94 (talk) 18:48, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NXT

[edit]

Per previous consensus, NXT title is not a world title. If youwant, you can open a RfC in the talk page to change that. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 10:13, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I know about that. I was there and took part. This essentially trumps that now. --JDC808 ♫ 10:18, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Over the Edge

[edit]

If you're moving references and adding a section, please indicate that in your edit summary. You also did not answer my question about what vanity press reference was being removed. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:05, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@GaryColemanFan: In doing mass edits across multiple articles, edit summaries are the last thing on my list to remember to do. Didn't know what you were referring to by a "vanity press reference," but I believe what that's referring to is The History of Professional Wrestling book (which covers 1990–1999), which is citing the information regarding In Your House in that Background section --JDC808 ♫ 05:35, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't have accurate edit summaries, you can expect some of your edits to be reverted. Speaking of which, it seems like you do a lot of arguing in edit summaries during reverts rather than actually trying to discuss contested changes. More talk page discussion would be preferable. Some people might view your reverts as edit warring and presuming ownership of articles. In this instance, it could have avoided confusion if we had both followed my advice and used the article talk page, as the vanity press tag appears to have been automatically added as an edit summary, as you were adding a book from CreateSpace. It looked to me like you were removing something and using "vanity press" as justification, as your edit summary didn't provide enough clarity or context. With that said, Graham Cawthon seems to be viewed as a reliable source, so the source should meet the SPS criteria. GaryColemanFan (talk) 06:02, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pics

[edit]

I don't want it to appear that I'm banging on you, because you've actually had my back on other topics, and I appreciate it.

But please stop putting in those oversize pics of Lashley and Reigns...it's not necessary.

Lashley hasn't aged a day in 15 years (and it really isn't that big of a deal he's wearing gold trunks in the one pic), and Reigns' look has been the same since day one.

Aesthetics do matter - can't have pics just thrown up there, especially on a chart where neatness counts a bit more than other places.

Gotta have some structure to it.

WM celebrities

[edit]

Real life intervened before I could put in the references for the WM 37 celebrities...had every intention of doing so, but, kept getting pulled away.

You know I usually make sure to include references (you give me a hard time for the way I do it, but I always put them in).

Thank you for adding them yourself. As I said, I had every intention of doing so myself once I had a little time, but you beat me to it, and I appreciate it.

Vjmlhds (talk) 18:33, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds: I give you a hard time for the way that you do it because it's very basic and doesn't give all the necessary information for a citation (the one thing I can say about the way you do it is that it at least isn't the bare url that some do). I believe I said it on your page, but we want these to be quality articles, and that includes the source formatting. As you know, Wikipedia gets a bad rap, and the pro-wrestling project gets one too from the other Wikipedia communities. The better we can make these articles, the better for Wikipedia as a whole and all those who read these articles. --JDC808 ♫ 18:50, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've always done references that way (on all kinds of articles - not just wrestling - over many years), and truthfully you're the only one that has criticized me for it. Bare URLs are just lazy...gotta give a little context at minimum. It really does come down to preference...your way is a gourmet meal, my way is ordering a pizza, but it accomplishes the same thing. Just comes down to how many bells and whistles you prefer. Vjmlhds (talk) 19:00, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds: I had also done references a certain way before I learned the more correct way and I learned earlier on instead of doing a more informal way for years (and citation formats are universal across Wikipedia). I may be the only one who has criticized you for it, but it's because I want these articles to be better in all aspects. Many of the pro-wrestling articles I've come across here have been horrendous. They're either not sourced, they're under sourced, they have incorrect formatting all over the place, there's overlinking, etc. It's terrible. Also, it's not "my way," it's the standard, and what you're doing actually doesn't accomplish the same thing. All yours does is give the title of the article and the website. It doesn't give the date, it doesn't give the author (if there is one), and it doesn't give the access date. These are all important details for the citation. The date is important to know so we know how old or recent the source is, the author is important for the same reason the author of a book is important (can also help in validity), and the access date is important because there could be a change in information from the time you first accessed the source (so the access date tells us that the information being sourced is based on the time of that date, if there are any changes to the original source). Also, if we ever wanted to take these articles to WP:GA or even WP:FA, the citation format that you do would be one of the things reviewers would call out because it doesn't meet the requirements for that quality scale. I'm not saying we have to take any of these articles to GA or FA, but that's the quality we need to be striving for. --JDC808 ♫ 19:40, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I hear you, but sometimes a man just wants to have a pizza...nobody has Wolfgang Puck cook for them every night. I agree that references are important, and I always try to tidy things up as much as I can, but there's also going overboard the other way as well. Vjmlhds (talk) 23:16, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds: This isn't going overboard though. Going overboard would be to ask you to also archive these sources to ensure the original source lasts (that is actually a requirement of FA, but that's beside the point). --JDC808 ♫ 00:27, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds: I have to ask you, why is it so hard for you to just format the sources correctly? I'm tired of having to constantly fix these. The dropdown box does all the work for you, but for some reason, you just want to be stubborn on this and continue with your basic and informal format. --JDC808 ♫ 02:42, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re: One sentence leads

[edit]

I operate in the spirit of WP:LEAD stating that you should "Try to not overload the first sentence by describing everything notable about the subject. Instead use the first sentence to introduce the topic, and then spread the relevant information out over the entire lead." The same should go for the first paragraph.

Broadcasting arrangements in one country, in the first paragraph, feels like it's just being mentioned for the sake of being mentioned. The key points are that it was a pay-per-view and that it took place at Raymond James Stadium. ViperSnake151  Talk  23:36, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This particular broadcasting arrangement is a major impact on the event. You have to take into consideration which country was affected; the one for which the company is based in. It's an American promotion producing a major American event, and it is the American viewers who this affected. This is in line with what you outlined for LEAD, although I've often times seen you take that way too liberally and only have a one-sentence lead paragraph. --JDC808 ♫ 23:50, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thenagain I guess a large number of other major sports event articles emphasize broadcast outlets directly in the lead, although how it's being done here feels like a violation of WP:NOTTVGUIDE (I'm okay with "PPV and WWE Network event" because that is effectively a category of WWE live event rather than just the attribution of a broadcaster).

Draft

[edit]

Hello. I think we should talk about how to handle the 2020 Draft. If you want, we can open a RfC in the talk page.

I have some problems with the article, most of them with the "Free agents" section. 1, it focuses sometimes around events no related with the Draft itself. Many wrestlers are released, but months after the Draft. I don't see why Zelina Vega's release should be noted (one month after the Draft), Big Show's (4 months) or Billie Kay's (5 months and appearing on TV). 2, excesive detail. While it's important to include where the wrestlers were assigned, there is no point to include Martinez attacking Shirai, or Ryker joining Elias. Why Martinez is fine but not, Tamina's or Erik's first work on their brands? The worst is including everything about Big Show. Show being unhappy and leaving it's for the Big Show article, not for the Draft. Why do we include Big Show reasons for leaving and not Andrade's reasons? 3, WP:OR. Some of them doesn't look like being assigned. Big Show, Mickie James or Maryse are noted as "appearances", not as "being assigned". Maryse stills a SD member, according to WWE.com. 4, Many other wrestlers were released, like Peyton Royce, Tucker or Kalisto. Why do we note the releases for free agents, but no for other wrestlers?

My main problem is the inconsistency in the article itself. Some wrestlers have notes about their released, while others don't. Some wrestlers have noted about their work in the new brand, while others don't. I hope we can work together to fix this problems. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 09:24, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Some people just don't understand" Remark

[edit]

Hi, I am Chocolate Bubu and I just recently joined Wikipedia. There are many aspects and topics of Wikipedia that I'm still learning about, such as referencing, quoting and basic Stuff etc)

However I bring forth an edit done by you on the WrestleMania Backlash article. In your edit summary, you wrote "sigh, some people just don't understand a lead section..."and I feel that is a blatant remark at me because I was unaware of what leads (whatever that is) are. I'm still trying to figure out how Wikipedia works and then there is you remarking at me. You don't expect to figure out how most of the things work on Wikipedia straight away (leads and other things). You could've have said something like "This content doesn't go in the lead" or "lead contains a summary of article's main points, this is useful" instead you have to remark at me and say "some people don't understand..." I didn't even know about leads. By the way, I removed that part about the event from the first paragraph because I found it was repeated in the background sub section and I thought that was redundant. Your behaviour and attitude to new Wikipedia users is pathetic.

Regards Chocolate Bubu Chocolate Bubu (talk) 13:41, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Chocolate Bubu: Unless I were to have manually looked at your contributions, there is nothing to tell me that you are a new editor. The lead section is the first thing that you read in an article. That's why it's called the lead, because it's first. And yes, it's a summary of the article's main points. For a lot of casual readers, the lead section is the only thing they read. These articles are similar to research papers you would do in school. That remark was directed at you, but not only you. It was also directed at other editors, as there are experienced editors here who still don't know some of these things, and it gets a bit tiring having to repeat things. I'm sorry if you were offended, but don't take things like that personally. It can lead to uncivil comments like calling me pathetic. --JDC808 ♫ 08:03, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Million $ Title

[edit]

Not trying to start an argument with you, but I just think we shouldn't assume that the Million $ Championship is "unsanctioned". That was then, this is now, and it would just be safer not to "ASS-U-ME" anything...that's all I'm saying.

Vjmlhds (talk) 23:29, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds: It was an unsanctioned championship then, it is still an unsanctioned championship now. There has been nothing said that it has magically become sanctioned now. There is no official title history for it on WWE.com, and LA Knight is not even credited for it on his WWE.com profile. --JDC808 ♫ 23:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's not assuming. It's sticking with what's been established until something further is said that would prove otherwise. --JDC808 ♫ 23:37, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Not really that big of a deal, so if you want to revert it, I won't fight it. Just wanted to tell you where I was coming from. Vjmlhds (talk) 23:49, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds: That's the thing though, you almost always jump on these kind of things without validation/verification (like when a title has a one-off appearance on a show, you've automatically assumed it's become a title of that brand). The Million Dollar Championship was brought back, and you assumed it became sanctioned (and if you didn't, you removed mention of it being unsanctioned, which made it appear as if it is sanctioned), but it has never been sanctioned and nothing has yet been said that it is now sanctioned. --JDC808 ♫ 01:16, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
And at the end of the day, it was no harm, no foul, and we all lived happily ever after. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:07, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Chelsea Green

My edit was reverted, but on wwe.com, it said Chelsea Green was on NXT rather than Smackdown (this is the same with Mickie James, who was on Smackdown rather than Raw on wwe.com, current wrestler Jaxson Ryker, who was the same thing as James, and Kane, who was listed as a Smackdown wrestler than a free agent).

@King Rudra: They're just redirects to the actual page, so no need to delete (even if a deletion were necessary, I don't have the ability to delete articles). I did correct where they should be redirecting though. Also, for future reference, what you did for the linking works, but what I had meant was to use a Wikilink, so putting the brackets around, like this, [[Two out of three falls match]], which would look like this after you save, Two out of three falls match. --JDC808 ♫ 10:40, 9 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"If you don't know how to move a page"

[edit]

I can't delete pages, that's why I moved the page to God of War Ragnarok without the :. There was a redirect there. I even put it for deletion. As a sysop on ptwiki with years of experience, I obviously know how to move a page (by the way, check this). Actually, maybe you are the one who doesn't know how to move pages. Thank you. Skyshifter talk 21:27, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Skyshifter: That's why you wait until someone who knows what they're doing can move it to the actual title with a colon. What I did was a round robin redirect so the actual name can be used. I hadn't finished cleaning it up so that "rag" page could be deleted (and it's now gone btw). I actually have page mover rights where I can move a page and not leave a redirect behind (thus deleting the old page once clean up is finished). JDC808 ♫ 21:35, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In Your House

[edit]

I tried to explain in the notes when I edited the page, but it didn’t come out right. The reason the numbers weren’t included for the In Your House ppv’s on the List of WWE Pay-Pay-Per Views page is because those PPVs never had numbers to begin with. This was discussed years ago. If you go back and watch those old IYH ppvs you’ll see that nowhere on the show are there numbers mentioned. That was something that was retroactively added later on, and in some cases, years later. We list the PPV’s by the names they went by in the advertising leading up to the event and on the day of the event. Any retroactive changes that WWE decides to make is after the fact. OldSkool01 (talk) 07:31, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@OldSkool01: I tried searching for that discussion on the talk page (and the previous archives before the merger of that page) and couldn't find that discussion. What you say about the numbering doesn't quite seem right, as when looking at each one's respective articles, the images used (which are from their respective VHS copies) include numbers. What is missing on those VHS covers, however, are the subtitles that were retroactively added. Also, saying "they didn't say the numbers during the broadcast" isn't a strong argument, because, for example, with recent WrestleMania events, they don't say the number during the broadcast or in their own advertising. Do we have more definitive sources (like magazines or news articles) from that time that do not include numbers for these earlier events? --JDC808 ♫ 07:51, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It’s been years since this was talked about. I don’t even remember which page it was on. The numbered VHS tapes were only the UK releases. The US releases didn’t have numbers. But again, those VHS tapes came out a month or so after the fact. When I get home from work I’ll have more time to dive into this, I’ll send you links to the actual ppv posters and stuff. OldSkool01 (talk) 20:45, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Been doing google image searches and pretty much all of the original In Your House ppv posters can be found, the ones that were shown in WWF Magazine to promote the events. None of them used numbers. Here’s a link to a site that reviews all the In Your House shows. http://oswreview.com/history/wwf-in-your-house-results/ You can see most of the original ppv posters there, but some of them use the UK Silver Vision VHS covers.
The reason the UK releases had numbers on them and the US releases didn’t is because Coliseum Video in the US used their own titles for their tapes. For example, In Your House July 1995 was released by Coliseum Video as “Terminators ‘95”, In Your House: Badd Blood was released as “Rampage ‘97”, In Your House: Good Friends, Better Enemies was released as “Mega Matches ‘96”, and so on. Silver Vision in the UK didn’t do that, plus the first 6 IYH events didn’t have subtitles. They were all just called simply “In Your House”. So to make it easy to remember which one is which, they just added numbers to the tapes when they were released on video a month or so after the PPV, starting with the 2nd IYH. And that’s where the numbers came from. The numbers were never mentioned on television at all in the weeks leading up to the PPVs, nor were they ever used on the actual PPVs themselves. Just on the UK releases. Years later, retroactively, it became easier to just refer to them by the numbers.
As for WrestleManias not using numbers, every single WrestleMania, except for 1 and 16 used numbers in one form or another. Either on T-shirts, magazines or on WWE’s websites leading up to the events. Even though they haven’t mentioned the numbers on the actual PPVs in recent years, they’ve still sold plenty of merchandise on WWEShop.com every year using either the regular numbers or the roman numerals, and they’ve also used it on WWE.com to promote the upcoming Manias. That’s not the case with the IYH ppvs. Nowhere was there any use of numbers other than the UK VHS tapes that came out after the fact.OldSkool01 (talk) 03:17, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

NXT 2.0

[edit]

What is NXT now in the "2.0" era - third brand (not even pretending anymore), developmental (which is fairly obvious) or in some nebulous purgatory stuck in between? Not being argumentative, but it just looked clear what the "2.0" mission statement was. When NXT first moved to USA the mission statement there was clear - be the third brand and beat AEW. That didn't work, hence the reboot. Vjmlhds (talk) 04:11, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But yet it's still on USA and still running PPVs instead of only Network events. JDC808 ♫ 04:15, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Contracts are a hard thing to get out of, and you gotta fulfill the obligations. WWE doesn't even give lip service to NXT as a 3rd brand anymore (evidenced by no long counting Charlotte's NXT Titles in her total). I know in the past I was a supporter of WWE calling NXT the 3rd brand, because that's how they were promoting it (it's their brand, they can call it whatever they want), but it's obvious now the reverse is true (understand USA and PPV, and they have to hold up their end of the deal, but just saying...)

"Fluff" accusation at Hall of Fame class of 2022

[edit]

I noticed your edit here [11], referring to my more explanatory lead as 'fluff.' I am just going to say that if I weren't a longtime wrestling fan and I was just viewing that article as someone who had never heard of the Hall of Fame, I wouldn't know what the hell a hall of fame is based on your introduction. If "fluff" refers to better explanation, maybe Wikipedia ought to encourage 'fluff.' Again, I am not here to argue, edit war, or go back and forth. You seem to feel passionately about your edit, so keep it that way, no skin off my back. Was just trying to help understandability. Good day! JudgeJudyCourthouse25 (talk) 18:11, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@JudgeJudyCourthouse25 to further explain. Everyone knows what a hall of fame is, regardless if it's professional wrestling, baseball, basketball, etc. You basically overexplained it, and that type of explanation is better suited for the main WWE Hall of Fame article. Secondly, you used a lot of peacock words (see MOS:PUFFERY) which is mostly where the "fluff" accusation comes in. JDC808 ♫ 22:32, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your comment: "Everyone knows what a hall of fame is, regardless if it's professional wrestling, baseball, basketball, etc."
My response: Old questions posted to the website Quora over years past as follows: [12], [13], [14], etc.
Your comment: You basically overexplained it, and that type of explanation is better suited for the main WWE Hall of Fame article.
My response: This is actually the only thing you said that made any sense to me.
You wrote "Secondly, you used a lot of peacock words (see MOS:PUFFERY) which is mostly where the "fluff" accusation comes in."
My response: Actually the opening paragraph for that Wikipedia "puffery" page you sent me even states in its own opening paragraph that the rules offered on that page should NOT be rigidly enforced on editors. My guess is that's probably because it gets into subjective territory as to what's puffery and what's not; what might be 'huff' 'puff' 'rough' 'tough' might be 'sugar and spice and everything nice' to another person. What is to one editor might not be the same to another editor. The opening paragraph of that "puffery" page also states that if material is sourced that it's perfectly fine to add such description. There are actually multiple sources in that article suggesting the Undertaker as above and beyond a "renowned". The first source used by the editor that put that article there reads and I quote "In an extraordinary career that spanned three decades, The Undertaker loomed over the WWE landscape like a menacing shadow, spelling out doom for those who dared cross him. Imbued with seemingly mystical abilities and preternatural in-ring skill, the legendary Phenom operated on his own level." Again, just some future constructive advice for you that may help you avoid edit warring so much, which I can see has been apart of your past.

Edit warring on AEW Women's World Championship

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on AEW Women's World Championship. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. KyleJoantalk 00:20, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@KyleJoan except for the fact I was restoring the article to before the other editor came along and said it should be that name per MOS:DOCTOR, which was false. That is her ring name as per AEW's website. I even posted to that editor's talk page after my initial revert to inform them of this, but they still changed it back, still trying to claim MOS:DOCTOR. Then you came to the article to change it as well claiming the source says otherwise despite the official title history saying that's her ring name. JDC808 ♫ 00:29, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There is no attempt by anyone involved to discuss this on the article talk page. Placing justifications in edit summaries while reverting other editors is edit warring.

@GaryColemanFan: that is somewhat false. While it was not on the article's talk page, discussion was initiated here. --JDC808 ♫ 04:27, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I stand corrected. You certainly did the right thing in initiating a discussion with the other user. At this point, I would recommend a centralized discussion on the article talk page, with a neutral notification to WP:PW. For what it's worth, I don't watch wrestling, but I did a quick search. The first reliable source I found was TSN [15], which refers to her as Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. She is listed on the AEW roster page as Britt Baker, DMD, and on the women's world championship listing (on the AEW site) as Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. Her Twitter user name is Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. Based on these results, it seems like your version makes sense, but perhaps a wider discussion could make a conclusive decision. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:43, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; the new page reviewing team needs help from experienced users like yourself.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR. If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.

Speedy deletion nomination of WWE Clash at the Castle

[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on WWE Clash at the Castle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

WWE Clash at the Castle

[edit]

I'm quite familiar with Wikipedia policy, on notability and verification, thankyou. As you point out yourself, the information about WWE Clash at the Castle is from the WWE website, a primary source. I can only see an independent news source which confirms the announcement of the name of the event. The remaining secondary sources, so far, are about prior events and not Clash at the Castle. Therefore the 'primary sources' tag is entirely justified at the moment. Wikipedia isn't a WWE fan site.

To be frank, the entire article seems WP:TOOSOON and the only thing preventing me from nominating it for AfD is the prospect of (a) WWE fans piling on to oppose the AfD (2) it's only a couple of weeks before the event, the AfD is likely to be extended, by the time I suspect we might get some form of reliable secondary coverage about the event (when it takes place). Sionk (talk) 12:38, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Sionk "the remaining secondary sources, so far, are about prior events". They're "about prior events" because those are what built the "Storylines" for this event and are what confirmed the matches that are happening at this event, hence why it's the "Storylines" section (which for some reason you tried removing in one of your past edits). Also, I said please familiarize yourself with the topic (as in professional wrestling event articles), as you seem to not understand how these pages are to be written, which are based on project consensus that are based on Wikipedia's policies (that's not saying that all professional wrestling event pages on Wikipedia are perfect, quite a lot need cleaning up, most of which are non-WWE ones). And even if you tried nominating this for AfD due to TOOSOON, it would fail (as in it wouldn't be deleted) because although we might not have more secondary sources that confirm the event on the page at time of this post, they do exist and could be easily added (EDIT: I've since added a few more).

Joint titles

[edit]

Not trying to give you a hard time, but on this issue, you are wrong.

With both Roman Reigns and the Usos, they defend both sets of titles at the same time. WWE + Universal = Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, and Raw Tag Team + SD Tag Team = Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship.

This is the same situation like we had in 2009-10 when Raw's World Tag Team Championship and SD's WWE Tag Team Championship were defended jointly as the Unified WWE Tag Team Championship. The titles retained their individual lineages, but were defended together across both brands (and back then also on ECW)

So to say at this time the titles belong to a particular brand would be incorrect.

Now down the road if/when we get separate champions again, that would be different, but as long as both world titles and both tag titles are defended jointly, they are dual branded.

Don't be so hung up on the names of the titles....what we have here is the same situation we had in 2009-10, so there is a precedent. Vjmlhds 13:24, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

Indulge me as we take a trip in the wayback machine to show you how we handled the situation in 2009 when we had the exact same situation. How is this different than what we have now, other than the names of the titles? Vjmlhds (talk) 13:33, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Except no, you are wrong. Like I have said in the past, anytime you see a title pop up on a show/brand, you automatically assume it's now an official title of that show/brand. This isn't really any different. You're seeing the title on the show and assuming that it's automatically the title of that show. The ONLY reason you see that right now is because they hold both sets of championships. Regardless of how you want to try and spin it, the titles are NOT unified, thus the Raw Tag Team Championship, for example, is NOT a title of the SmackDown brand, etc. The edits I put adequately describe the situation: they are the title of such and such brand but because the titles are held by the same champion(s), they are co-defended.
And in regard to how this is different from the past. Well, it's the past. Just because it was done that way, over 10 years ago, doesn't mean it's the correct solution to what we have now (let's not forget, with some exceptions, the project has been in horrendous shape up until the last few years, so we should tread lightly on how things were done in the past). Another big difference though, they ended up actually unifying the titles. It's already been reported multiple times that Triple H wants to split them up, but Vince left him in a predicament where he just has to see this through until he can find the right time to do it. --JDC808 ♫ 13:49, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry...I'm not wrong on this one. 2009 and today are exactly the same - 2 sets of titles with individual lineages being jointly defended under an umbrella name. There is ZERO difference between then and now other than the names of the titles, which seems to be the thing you are so hung up on. Aa far as HHH wanting to have separate champions, that's all well and good, but it's gotta happen first, then we can go from there, but as it stand right now, the Bloodline has ALL the belts, which are defended jointly across ALL the shows, therefore they are dual branded until such time they are not. Vjmlhds (talk) 13:59, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds it's not the same because again, they actually unified the titles back then. If you want to change this so badly, let's bring this up to the project and get more input. JDC808 ♫ 14:04, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When WWE did the deal in April 2009, both titles remained active until August 2010, when WWE merely deactivated the World Tag Team Championship in favor of the WWE (now Raw) Tag Team Titles. So the titles never were unified. They were defended jointly for about a year and a half before one of them was simply abandoned. Again, we have the same situation - jointly defended titles. It's not a matter of me "wanting to change it", it's more a matter of you wanting to cling on to what was and not acknowledging what is. Vjmlhds (talk) 15:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds I have acknowledged what is, hence the description at the end of the intro paragraph. What I'm not trying to claim is that the Raw title is a SmackDown title and vice versa. And that description has been there since this whole double champion bit began earlier this year for both Reigns and Usos, just with some copy-editing done to it. But again, it should be brought to the project to get more opinions. JDC808 ♫ 04:52, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I never said anything was a Raw title...you are putting words in my mouth. The WWE and Universal Titles are defended jointly as the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, likewise the Raw and SD Tag straps as the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship. When they are defended jointly, they are dual branded meaning defended across all main roster shows, not just specific ones. It just appears to me you are stubbornly looking for purity with this attitude of "X Title belongs on X brand, period." - completely disregarding the fact that for going on 8 months now they've been defended jointly on both brands. Vjmlhds (talk) 05:33, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds you're saying they're dual branded, i.e., you are saying they are both a Raw and SmackDown title. That's what I meant in my last post. But you are completely ignoring the fact that there is a description at the end of the intro paragraph that explains the situation (which I originally added, mind you). You want to make this change, get a consensus from the project. JDC808 ♫ 06:01, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

[edit]

I note you reverted my edits on varius wrestling articles and that you have now created Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, however this is marked as a disambiguation page but is not formatted as a dab.— Rod talk 08:06, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Rodw that was created before you made the edits, and although there may be a misformat (made mention of that in my edit summary there), what you changed the link to was incorrect. The "Undisputed WWE Universal Championship" refers to two championships held together, not the single one that you linked it to. JDC808 ♫ 08:14, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Undisputed WWE Universal Champion shows as a dab page because it includes the template: {{disambiguation}}. If linking to the dab page is best then the link should be [[Undisputed WWE Universal Championship (disambiguation)|Undisputed WWE Universal Championship]] per WP:INTDAB.

AEW Champions

[edit]

I'm not understanding why you're removing the breaks between the pics.

They're there so the pics line up in a nice neat column. The way you had it makes the chart look sloppy to be frank.

They're not "odd breaks"...it's the way we've always had pics of teams in charts like this (WWE, AEW, Impact, NWA, NJPW, whatever else) when we don't have a collective team pic.

There is a method to the madness - they're not there just for the heck of it. Vjmlhds 13:47, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

@Vjmlhds: On my end, the breaks were adding an actual full space between the pics, and they were still lined up neatly in a column without the added breaks. --JDC808 ♫ 13:55, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It all depends on the size of the screen..on wider screens, without the breaks, the pics don't line up, and wind up all scattershot. For smaller/narrower screens, you may not need the breaks, but on bigger/wider screens you do. Vjmlhds (talk) 19:40, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds while I have you, there are a couple of concerns.
One, the use of dashes. You often use the wrong kind of dash. There are three kinds. A regular hyphen, an en-dash, and an em-dash ( - – —). The hyphen goes between words to connect them (e.g., longest-reigning). The en-dash is used for number ranges (e.g., 1–10). The em-dash is used similarly to parenthesis—kinda like this. It's this last one that's usually the issue. You always use a regular hyphen when it should be the em-dash and with a few exceptions, there shouldn't be a space between the words and the em-dash. If you're on mobile, if you long press on the hyphen, it brings up the three different dashes. If you're editing on PC, at the bottom of the text box has the three different dashes to select.
The other issue is something I've tried talking to you about in the past, and that is the formatting of sources. Can you please stop being stubborn and just format them correctly? If we're editing the same article, I'm always having to fix the source formatting on the ones you added, and it gets tiring when you could just do it correctly but you won't. It's really not hard. I'll even give you the template you can copy/paste.
<ref>{{cite web|url= |title= |date= |last= |first= |work= |access-date= }}</ref>
Note, for a source without a proper author, like WWE which is often "WWE.com Staff", use "author" instead of the "last and first" parameters.
Conversely, if editing on PC, there's a drop down box where you just fill in the info and it will auto-format it for you.
One other thing, please watch out for overlinking. I've seen you do this a few times. For example, for the AEW champions page, you never have to link Dynamite or Rampage in the prose. They're already linked in the little overview section. The only events that need to be linked are special episodes, individual Battle of the Belts episodes, and PPVs. --JDC808 ♫ 21:37, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Improvements to specific wrestling event articles

[edit]

Hi, JDC808. It's me again. Back in mid-December 2022, I added the "Event" section for the article NXT Deadline. I did so because the wikipedia pages for NXT's major events that occurred after NXT TakeOver 36 were missing that section, and even if they did, the summaries were poorly written. For example, the articles NXT WarGames (2021), NXT: New Year's Evil (2022), and NXT Vengeance Day (2022) used to have an "Event" section, but the summaries for the matches that were contested at those events were all copied and pasted from Bleacher Report and had to be deleted. Also, even if those articles had an "Aftermath" section, it excluded the storylines that continued from that event. So, earlier this month, I improved the wikipedia page for NXT WarGames (2021) by adding the storylines for the men's and women's WarGames matches, the "Event" section, and an addition to the "Aftermath" section that included the storylines that continued on from that event. Those additions were the best that I could do. Please take a look at that article if you have the time and let me know what you think. Thank you. GodofDemonwars (talk) 21:27, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GodofDemonwars I'll have a look here in the next day or so. JDC808 ♫ 04:11, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for trimming down the article. I'll try to keep the summaries for the matches just the right amount. Good night. GodofDemonwars (talk) 02:23, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GodofDemonwars yeah, some match summaries might require a longer description, but we want to try to keep it around where we're just mentioning the highlights of the match and of course how it ended. Otherwise it just gets too long and too many details. JDC808 ♫ 02:43, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi there, it's me again. Yesterday, random IP accounts just removed Vince McMahon booking in the lead paragraph for the article WrestleMania 39 after their block expired. Me and User:StrangerMan123 undid those edits, and they have been blocked for 1 week now. Also, back when I created this account in early December 2022, I was somewhat of an inexperienced user. So, when I decided to add or make additions to an "Aftermath" section for some wrestling event articles, I honestly didn't know that it was for those involved in that event, and that it shouldn't mention new feuds. Now, I have improved over the coming weeks, and whenever I see one of those articles in which its "Aftermath" section is missing citations in regards to the storylines that continued on from that event (like NXT TakeOver: WarGames (2020), NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day, WrestleMania XXVI, and Payback (2013)), I add those citations. Plus, I archive whatever citations I can, like in the article Elimination Chamber (2023), I archived the ER (Extreme Rules) and CJ (Crown Jewel) citations. Ready for Elimination Chamber in one week? I want Sami Zayn to defeat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, but I feel like Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes is the highly-anticipated match for WrestleMania. What do you think? GodofDemonwars (talk) 19:10, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GodofDemonwars Hey, I left a comment at the WrestleMania 39 talk page as well. That editor is just another reason I wish Wikipedia required that everyone creates an account to edit. Great job on the improvements, and really great job on archiving sources. That technically should always be done to ensure we always have access to the original source (I actually need to do that on another article I work on lol). JDC808 ♫ 21:37, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So, about the run-on sentences, back in November 2022, a random user named User:Sjincterphizz did a similar thing to the article Hell in a Cell (2019) that even I did at the article WrestleMania 34. (I did some c/e at that article as well). GodofDemonwars (talk) 02:18, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GodofDemonwars yeah, for some reason, some editors like to do a big run-on sentence for the lead like that and I'm not sure if they just don't know that they're doing that or if they're purposely doing that as like a minor form of silly vandalism. That's something to keep an eye on and try to fix if you see it. There are also some articles that only have a one-sentence lead paragraph, like the sentence will be formatted correctly, but we really shouldn't have a one-sentence lead paragraph (I've seen that most often on articles about a wrestler). JDC808 ♫ 22:01, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I undid 2 edits from Random IP addresses at the article Royal Rumble (2023). They told premature information, like Cody Rhodes winning the men's Royal Rumble match, Nikki Bella winning the women's, Bray Wyatt defeating LA Knight, Alexa Bliss defeating Bianca Belair, and Roman Reigns defeating Kevin Owens. I told them that their edits made no sense and told them to wait until after the event is finished, and then they can add the results. I think that article needs to be semi-protected once again. GodofDemonwars (talk) 14:32, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GodofDemonwars that's basically just vandalism that just needs reverted without any explanation beyond saying you're reverting vandalism by the IP (and you could also say reverting per WP:CRYSTALBALL). As for page protection, that's something that has to be requested to an admin if the vandalism persists (that's also one of those things where I just wish Wikipedia required everyone to create a free account, it would make some things easier to deal with). I don't have a link right off for requesting page protection, but can find it if you want it. JDC808 ♫ 01:37, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for letting me know. Can't wait to see who will win the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches this Saturday. GodofDemonwars (talk) 01:40, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GodofDemonwars yeah I'm excited for it, especially as it's hard to predict, especially the men's. JDC808 ♫ 01:47, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I guess I learned my lessons now. By the way, I also added to a reception section for the articles Royal Rumble (2022), Survivor Series WarGames, Elimination Chamber (2023), and in the article Royal Rumble (2022), I also expanded its Aftermath section. I hope I did well. Also, I made significant improvements to the article WrestleMania 37 by adding the storylines for the remaining matches contested at the event, and why this was Billie Kay and Samoa Joe's final WWE appearance.

WrestleMania 39 hype

[edit]

Hi, JDC808. I really enjoyed watching the previous night's Royal Rumble. My predictions of Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley winning their respective Royal Rumble matches were correct. I can't believe I actually contributed to that article, along with more Wiki users. I am very hyped for WrestleMania 39 in Inglewood, California. How about you? GodofDemonwars (talk) 16:19, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GodofDemonwars: It was an interesting Rumble and the right people won. Some say it was too predictable, but if it's good, that's not really an issue lol. I am interested to see what happens with Sami Zayn and The Bloodline heading towards Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 39. Also curious if they'll decide to split the world championships before WrestleMania so that Cody would only challenge for one instead of both together as the undisputed title. --JDC808 ♫ 04:56, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speaking of WM 39, a rumored and expected match looks to be Usos vs KO/Zayn for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles, which is why they shouldn't be separated in the charts quite yet. I know the Usos have defended each title individually recently, but that doesn't mean that it's always gonna be that way - especially if the WM 39 pieces fall into place as expected, so please hold off on separating the titles until at least WM 39, then we'll see what happens from there. Vjmlhds (talk) 04:48, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds well they've been defending them separately now and you're going off of speculation, so they should still be separated until something changes JDC808 ♫ 05:59, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Should the expected Usos-KO/Zayn match go down, then they go back, as these recent separate defenses will have proven to be one-offs. Honestly, the only reason for the separate defenses was due to Raw XXX for the Raw titles, and doing an SD title defense as a make-good to even it out. Vjmlhds (talk) 15:34, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds Triple H already confirmed that going forward, they'll be defended separately. "the only reason"? You got proof on that? They could have easily just done both as the undisputed titles there. JDC808 ♫ 18:36, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, it's me again. I undid two revisions from random IP addresses at the article WrestleMania 39. They complained about this being the first WrestleMania under Paul "Triple H" Levesque's control, but not having a source in the lead paragraph. I undid that revision. The second one I did is one that very frequently happens now - they put the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship match as "Roman Reigns (with Paul Heyman) or Sami Zayn (c) vs. Cody Rhodes". I deleted the bolded part above because the champion AS OF NOW is Reigns, so the match table says "Card subject to change." A few minutes later, User:StrangerMan123 put a note saying this: "Please do not add Sami Zayn here, the current champion is Roman Reigns. If Zayn ends up winning the championships at Elimination Chamber, we change it here." Check the revision history for the article WrestleMania 39 if you have the time, and let me know what you think.
Also, I recently improved the article SummerSlam (2022) by adding the storyline for the No Disqualification tag team match. Can you please check that article out again if you have the time? That would be nice. GodofDemonwars (talk) 19:45, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I only put this note because if not the random ips will continue to put Sami Zayn there, below it is already written: card subject to change, if Zayn wins, we change the name. Unfortunately i don't think he will win, but i'm not lying that I'm rooting for Sami haha. Also, User:GodofDemonwars, i'd like to really say thank you for the recent edits you've made, putting in the storylines that weren't in some articles, I really appreciate that. Same to JDC808, who is also a big editor around here, thanks for the edits. I know we had disagreements once, wich I admit you were right, and I ended up being childish to you, but i already apologized and i apologize again for that, and once again thank you both for your contributions to Wikipedia.

So, Elimination Chamber is officially in the books, and we are on our way to WrestleMania 39 on April 1-2.

Once WWE officially announces the match - and specifically say it's for the Undisputed Tag Team Titles - can we please put this to bed, because truthfully, I think you're clinging on to these one-off defenses as gospel (yeah, I know, HHH said.... but things change) Vjmlhds (talk) 05:05, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds nothing is official until it's official, and I think you're clinging on too much to the idea that these separate defenses are one-off, and honestly, even if it is for both at WrestleMania, I think that in itself will be a one-off. JDC808 ♫ 05:16, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not to be that guy, but if they go back to defending both titles, that isn't the one-off, as that's what they have been doing all year. The separate defenses will have been proven to be the one-offs, as it will be literally breaking from what was the norm one time. Vjmlhds (talk) 05:21, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds You didn't understand what I was saying there. What I meant was while the WrestleMania match might be for both, after WrestleMania, they'll probably go back to separate defenses. JDC808 ♫ 05:24, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Let's just take a deep breath here. For most of the last year, the belts have been defended jointly, then recently they were defended separately one time, and now it's 99% sure they'll be defended jointly at WM 39. What happens after words? We'll get there when we get there. Assuming WM 39 falls into place, they should be listed together as has been the case for nearly a year, Once WM 39 passes, we'll take it as it comes, sound like a plan? Vjmlhds (talk) 05:31, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I archive whatever citations I can at the WrestleMania 39 wiki article. Also, User:Vjmlhds, you will be impressed at what I did at the articles WWE Clash at the Castle and Royal Rumble (2023). Check those improvements out for yourself. GodofDemonwars (talk) 01:49, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GodofDemonwars first off, I've said it before but I'll say it again, thank you for archiving the sources. I find it to be a tedious task but it is one that needs done. Just a note, I've noticed you putting "c/e" in your edit summaries when you archive the sources. If all you're doing is archiving the sources, then your edit summary should be "archived sources" or "archived citations". "c/e" (which means copy-edit) means that you made general fixes or improvements to the prose (like changed some words, or maybe reworded a sentence for better clarity, or something along those lines). JDC808 ♫ 02:40, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So, WrestleMania 39 is officially in the books, and I wonder who Roman Reigns will lose the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to. I hope his feud with Cody Rhodes continues. By the way, the storyline involving The Bloodline's feud with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn is one of the best in recent memory. Zayn betraying Reigns at the Royal Rumble was universally praised, and at the article Royal Rumble (2023), I had to add more news articles regarding how awesome it was. I also think Owens and Zayn will continue their feud with The Bloodline. Ready for Backlash? GodofDemonwars (talk) 00:53, 4 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

With the recent announcement of The Usos vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39, I just modified the Aftermath section for the articles Survivor Series WarGames, Royal Rumble (2023), and Elimination Chamber (2023).

Titles

[edit]

Hello. About this, I think the current format is wrong. The parameter is "past_names" and the label, "other names", we should include past names of the titles, not the current ones. The International is already at the top of the infobox. Also, the template explains [17] past name is for "Past names of the title"--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 19:59, 10 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HHH Pedrigree I guess technically you're right. Most articles have included the current name there as well, I believe mainly to show the timeline up to the current (which admittedly is nice to see). I have always found it odd that the template says "past names" but it displays as "other names". JDC808 ♫ 00:52, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

New World Heavyweight Championship

[edit]

So, we honestly don't know if the new World Heavyweight Championship is the same as the old one. I also modified the article TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs (2013), the last PPV to feature the title, with more improvements. Time will tell. I also modified all WrestleMania articles from 2012 to present, making sure the wwe.com URLs don't have numbers at the end, as well as making sure the dates those events were announced are there. Finally, I modified the article Night of Champions (2015), mentioning that this was the final Night of Champions held before the reintroduction of the brand extension in July 2016 (something you missed). If you see this, you will be impressed at my improvements.... GodofDemonwars (talk) 01:39, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@GodofDemonwars they should have just made it more simple by just stripping Reigns of the WWE Championship (and the new belt could have just been a new design of it). It does make me wonder if they'll now truly unify Reigns' titles and which one will actually be retired (hopefully not the WWE Championship but I fear that may be the case).

Undisputed WWE Universal Championship

[edit]

So, recently, Onel5969 just made the article Undisputed WWE Universal Championship a disambiguation. Can you please solve this problem, just like OldSkool01 is trying to do, if you have the time? GodofDemonwars (talk) 12:09, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with the page is that it was wholly uncited. Quite frankly, if these are two separate titles, then there should be two articles, one for each, providing there is enough in-depth coverage of each to show they pass GNG. Else, they might be included in other pages as a section. Onel5969 TT me 12:14, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just added the citations for that article. GodofDemonwars (talk) 12:17, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I’m a little confused as to what exactly the argument is here. Is Onel5969 saying that the Undisputed title is actually just one championship and not 2 seperate championships? Because if that’s what the argument is then that’s wrong. The Undisputed title is not 1 single championship. It’s 2 titles being held at the same time. Correct me if I’m wrong about what the argument is. OldSkool01 (talk) 12:26, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@OldSkool01 based on their response, I feel as if they are confused themselves and just don't understand the situation. JDC808 ♫ 12:47, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought. Then the disambiguation page is correct. So I'm not sure what the issue is. Onel5969 TT me 12:49, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Onel5969 The disambiguation is correct but the issue was you were changing the link to redirect to WWE Universal Championship, which was incorrect. JDC808 ♫ 12:56, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@GodofDemonwars It was always supposed to be a disambiguation that briefly said that the undisputed championship means both of the championships. More info just got added over time where it kind of became a mini-article which wasn't really the intent. I actually have a solution I thought about recently that will eliminate this disambiguation/mini-article I just haven't gotten around to doing it. Well, I've sorta started it, but basically creating a subsection at World championships in WWE that would explain what the undisputed championship is. The info is actually already all there, but I want to rework the whole History section there to make it work better. JDC808 ♫ 12:53, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All In

[edit]

Please note there's no need to break with naming conventions to specify that the upcoming All In is an AEW show - that's already mentioned in the lead. They're ultimately the same series of shows and can retain the same naming convention of every other pro wrestling PPV article. Furthermore your change to the 2018 show has over-complicated the name in a way that contravenes WP:NC (it also required admin intervention to fix). Simpler titles are better when there's unlikely to be confusion between two different articles (and, in this case, clarity is given by the year in parenthesis). Cheers. — Czello (music) 09:34, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Czello The way I see it was that it was a similar case to WCW Halloween Havoc and NXT Halloween Havoc. Two different promotions but same series yet we identify the NXT ones with NXT (and we actually put NXT in all of their events' titles). The original All In was originally titled All In (professional wrestling event). The year needed to be added because of the 2023 event but "professional wrestling event" was left on just to identify the fact that it was not an AEW event. As to it mentioned in the lead, you don't see the lead until after you click on the article (unless you're on mobile where you get to see the short description before opening an article). Also, what admin intervention was needed? It showed that you made the moves without any admin intervention. If anything, all you would have needed was someone with page mover rights (which you and I both have). JDC808 ♫ 23:01, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The original naming of All In made sense at the time, but as you say the addition of the new show changed that; consequently the simplest solution is adding the year. However, you do raise a good point re: WCW vs NXT; it does appear that there's an inconsistency in naming where NXT is concerned. Perhaps we should raise this with the wider WikiProject to decide a more consistent MOS. I'll start a thread there later today. As for the admin intervention, it was required to speedy delete the "All In (2018)" redirect, leaving way for a page move. Unfortunately a regular move wouldn't work (I even have page mover rights and it wouldn't let me). No worries, though, let's speak with the wider WikiProject and see if we can get consistency around PPVs under different banners. — Czello (music) 08:16, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Czello in regards to the redirect, that sounds like a case where you would have needed to do a round robin redirect to open up the target page. Not sure if you've ever done one of those before but it can be a little confusing. I've only done it like once or twice. JDC808 ♫ 08:31, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Very interesting, I've never seen this before. Thanks for highlighting. — Czello (music) 08:39, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Roman's belts

[edit]

Paul Heyman has always lugged around Roman Reigns' belts for him going down to the ring, be it 1, 2, or now 3.

Heyman is a toady, that's what toadies do, because lugging around your own title belts is too menial a task for a "tribal chief".

All 3 belts are in play (as WWE.com still individually lists the lineages of the WWE and Universal titles under the standard belts), so who actually physically carries them to the ring really doesn't matter. They all collectively represent the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship, so once Roman loses them, then we can see what comes of it/them. But until then, it's 3 belts representing 2 titles under 1 banner. Vjmlhds (talk) 18:35, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds per my edit summary, Reigns himself only carries the one belt (proof enough by his recent defense at a live event where he only carried and raised up the one belt instead of all three). Previously, Heyman only carried the other belts when Roman was not holding them for his entrances or while in the ring. JDC808 ♫ 22:00, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Reading WAAAAAAAY too much into this. All 3 belts are Roman's property until someone beats him for them. WWE still recognizes the regular WWE and Universal title belts as the official belts for those titles. Reigns' custom title is essentially a 1,000 day gold watch. Who physically carries the belts to the ring does not matter. Heyman is Reigns' toady, thus he hauls around his toys for him. It's that simple. Vjmlhds (talk) 22:18, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds here's a thing, they modeled the women's championship off of Roman's new belt (it even says "undisputed" despite not being undisputed), which makes me think this isn't necessarily a custom belt like originally thought. JDC808 ♫ 22:45, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's all well and good...however while WWE.com did update the women's titles, they still recognize the WWE and Universal titles separately and under their standard belts. As it stands right now Reigns has 3 belts in his possession (who physically carries them to the ring doesn't matter - it's nice to have a lackey to do such things for you). We're not really gonna know how things will shake out until Reigns loses the title(s). So as long as Roman (and entourage) still lug around the 3 belts, things are what they are. Anything else is would be/could be/maybe speculation and rumor. Vjmlhds (talk) 22:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds I know that WWE.com does that, which is addressed in the articles. And it kind of does matter who carries them. Like any match graphic you see now, it's going to have Roman and his one new belt, not all three. JDC808 ♫ 23:01, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Because that is his personal 1,000 day belt - his "precious" if you will. It really isn't that hard. Roman carries his custom belt, as that marked his 1,000 day reign...that's HIS BABY. The other belts are still the official belts and he makes Heyman schlep them around, because that's what toadies/lackeys are for. It really is a 3-2-1 setup...3 belts representing 2 titles under 1 banner, and until the other belts disappear, it is what it is. I'm not trying to beat you up or anything, but you really are over thinking this. Heyman is hardly the first manager to lug around a belt for a client. Heck, you ever see a boxing match, where a champion boxer and his entourage come to the ring single file, and the manager/hype man is physically carrying the belt over his head, showing it off. That's pretty much what Heyman does for Reigns, and other managers have done for their guys. Vjmlhds (talk) 23:12, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds create a post on the project's talk page to get further input because we're not getting anywhere. JDC808 ♫ 23:16, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have the same idea. I have been editors talking about what is best for the articles. We should reach a conclusion about what revision is the best. GodofDemonwars (talk) 09:33, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The important thing is just to make it clear that all 3 belts are in play. The standard WWE and Universal title belts haven't been discarded/abandoned. We're getting WAAAAAY too deep in the weeds dissecting who physically carries the belts to the ring. As long as it's made clear that all 3 belts are part of the package, that's all I really care about. Vjmlhds (talk) 18:02, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of God of War Ragnarök

[edit]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article God of War Ragnarök you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of PresN -- PresN (talk) 01:43, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Would you consider becoming a New Page Reviewer?

[edit]
Hi JDC808, we need experienced volunteers.
  • New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
  • Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
  • Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, most pages are easy to review, and habits are quick to develop). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
  • If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
  • If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message on my talk page or at the reviewer's discussion board.
  • Cheers, and hope to see you around — ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 22:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

European title

[edit]

Hello. I have seen you updated some of the belts used to represent the WWE Title. Yesterday I watch this video. [21] To be honest, I didn't noticed the European title had a green strap. Maybe you can do something with it. HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:25, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@HHH Pedrigree That's interesting. I didn't know that either. I'll look into it more. JDC808 ♫ 20:53, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see clearly, but looks like McMahon - X Pac match at WM included the green strap. [22]. Looks like when McMahon retired the title it was green [23] (hard to see, I expected a greener title). But looks like Mideon had a black title. [24] --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 09:37, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I gotta know

[edit]

I gotta know why you have such an issue with the way I format references.

I've been doing it this way on God knows how many articles, for God knows how many years, and you are the only one who seems to have an issue with it.

I just gotta know...why? Vjmlhds (talk) 22:41, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds because they're not formatted correctly and look very informal (I've said this I don't know how many times now). We want quality articles, not mediocrity. It does not matter how long you've done something if you've done it wrong or poorly that entire time. I've asked you about this countless times because I'm tired of fixing these things, but for whatever reasons, you are not willing to learn and I don't understand. It's so easy to format them correctly but you just won't. I gotta know, why?
And while I have you, I just had to fix something else and that's the formatting of the dashes. I've previously explained the correct way to format them on your talk page but you've ignored that as well...
You've been on Wikipedia for just about as long as I have. However, you've learned one way to do something (in this case, the source formatting) and you've decided to stick to that instead of trying to improve. JDC808 ♫ 23:07, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You know, no one really sees the formatting unless they really dig deep and give it the fine tooth comb treatment. What I do isn't wrong, it just isn't your way. Doing it my way has served me well for a great many years, and just because one editor has an issue with it, it doesn't mean it's mediocre and not of quality. Vjmlhds (talk) 23:37, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
One other thing, when you say things like "We want quality articles, not mediocrity." it makes you come off as a Wiki-snob. Who are you to judge what does and doesn't make a quality article, and what is and isn't a quality editor. Are you implying you are better than me? Vjmlhds (talk) 23:45, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds so you're just going to stick to your guns. Like, why would you not want better quality articles? "It's worked for me for many years". Okay, that doesn't mean things can't be improved. Let's look back at professional wrestling event articles from around 2015 or older. Sure, the formatting (for the entire article, not just sources) that was used back then "worked", but if we continued with that because it "worked", we'd be stuck with subpar articles, especially if you compare them to what we have today. Also, it's not my way, it's literally the format established by Wikipedia for what Wikipedia considers for quality articles (more specifically, a consensus among editors was reached to decide that). Go and take any of your articles that you've worked on through the GA or the FA process, and they're going to tell you to fix the formatting on the sources (unless you get a really lenient GA reviewer, but it wouldn't fly in FA).
I never once said that I'm better than you. I'm not perfect and I'm still making improvements. However, what I have is a history of quality improvements, especially here with wrestling articles, but more specifically, I have experience from GA and FA review processes with a number of articles promoted to GA and FA, and I have also reviewed a number articles for GA and FA that were promoted, so I have a pretty good idea on what to look for in determining quality.
Now don't get me wrong, you make good contributions, there are just some things that can be improved. That's all I'm asking for here. JDC808 ♫ 00:29, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's the difference between you and me...I'm just trying to add info to the articles and play by the rules (adding sources and not leaving them bare)...you are trying to get barnstars. If you want to re-do things your own way after I make an edit, then fine...I don't own any of the articles. But don't make little brow beating comments in the edit summaries, or act all high and mighty with your "We want quality articles, not mediocrity" spiel (sorry, but that does make you come off as pretentious and it doesn't sit well with me). I do what I do to get the job done and I make sure everything's legal. If you want to pretty everything up to try to get a barnstar, then Godspeed, I hope you get 100 of them - just save me the lecture, OK. I'm not trying to make this into some kind of feud between us (I need a Wiki feud like I need another hole in my head), but as I said, you are the only one in all the time I've been doing this (and that spans years) that has ever had an issue, which says to me that this is a you thing, and not a me thing. I'm not doing anything wrong, it's just not pretty enough for your tastes. Vjmlhds (talk) 02:35, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds as said before, I want to improve the quality of these articles, and I'm not sorry for that (if a barnstar gets rewarded from that, cool, but I never said that's what I want). Someone would have eventually called you out on this, it just happened to be me. You keep trying to say it's my taste or my thing, but again, it's Wikipedia's standards, which I just happen to agree with (for the most part).
At the end of the day, I just don't understand why you can't make this one little change which is so easy to do. Like you're literally already doing most of what's needed. All you have to do is take what you're doing now, copy-paste the bits into the template, and add the author and access date. What is so hard about that? JDC808 ♫ 03:30, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is an inanimate object - it can't have standards. Only things capable of having standards are people, as all standards are when you get down to it are particular tastes of particular people. As far as this particular person goes, the standards this particular person uses are plenty good enough. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:54, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds you know well enough what I mean when I say "Wikipedia"; I'm referring to the rules/standards/guidelines/policies, etc. that were agreed upon by editors which are to be used across Wikipedia for writing articles, formatting them, etc. Don't get me wrong, there are some things I also disagree with in regards to some of Wikipedia's standards, but this is a super simple formatting issue—it's just making sure that all the correct information is being displayed for a reference.
Also, you failed to answer my question of why it's so hard for you to make this change? Saying what you do is "plenty good enough" doesn't answer that.
And you're basically telling me that you are unwilling to improve... JDC808 ♫ 04:55, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't need to change, and it doesn't need improving. You are not better than me, you are not smarter than me. if it's my way, then it is the right way. Vjmlhds (talk) 05:38, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds wow, and you say that I sounded pretentious.... JDC808 ♫ 05:44, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not pretentious, just stating that there is nothing wrong with the way I do things. Vjmlhds (talk) 05:48, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds you literally just said that you do not need to improve and that your way is the right way. I am just baffled. JDC808 ♫ 05:55, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
By saying I need to improve implies what I'm doing now is wrong and that your way is better. Why is it that you think you are better than I am, that you are superior to me in any way? Who are you to talk down to me like I am nothing? Vjmlhds (talk) 06:00, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds stop. I'm sorry if what I have said or how I have said it has come off sounding whatever way that you have perceived it, but you are making it personal. We are not talking about who we are as people or whether or not one of us is better than the other. We are talking about improvements and issues with articles here. You keep saying it's my way. Stop. I've explained it to you however many times now that it's a Wikipedia standard for formatting. Saying that something needs improved does not mean that what you are doing is wrong. It simply means that it can be better. If two guys go out and have a wrestling match and it's just a 3 star match, that doesn't mean they did anything wrong, but if they made improvements, it could be a 4 or 5 star match. JDC808 ♫ 06:33, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
When we're both pushing up daisies, is it really gonna matter how a reference on Wikipedia was formatted? You do you, I'll do me, and we'll all live happily ever after, OK. Vjmlhds (talk) 13:42, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds to the future editors, yes, it does in fact matter. I still don't understand why you can't make this one little change. Wikipedia is supposed to be a collaborative process to improve articles (in all facets), but you're refusing to do that on this matter. All you have to do is copy-paste this template and plug in the details (again, you're already doing most of this).
<ref>{{cite web|url= |title= |date= |last= |first= |work= |access-date= }}</ref>
If there isn't a proper name for the author (e.g., it's instead WWE.com Staff), replace "last" and "first" with "author". JDC808 ♫ 20:40, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If I do that for you, what will you do for me? Can't just pester people to do things without giving something in return. Vjmlhds (talk) 22:27, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds you keep having this me vs. you mentality instead of seeing the bigger picture here (the betterment of these articles and Wikipedia as a whole), and it wouldn't have been "pestering" if you wouldn't have been so resistant for so long. But what am I to do for you? JDC808 ♫ 23:43, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's not me vs. you...as I said before I'm not looking for a Wiki feud, but I will defend myself if I'm not treated with respect. Anybody that does something without getting anything in return is a sucker. There's another more vulgar word for someone who lets people take advantage of them (hint - rhymes with "switch") I'm neither that nor a sucker, so if you want me to make your precious little reference formats "just so", then put something on the table that benefits me, and save the sappy "bigger picture"/"betterment of these articles" BS for someone who will fall for all that goody-goody muckety-muck. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:23, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds wanting to produce quality content is not BS. You have to remember, this is not a fan wiki (we just happen to be fans who edit it). I have always pushed for quality and the overall betterment of these articles (could I have maybe been better with how I have said things, sure, it's easy to get heated when you have to keep repeating yourself). Like I've pushed to have changes made to the professional wrestling Style Guide to have better quality articles or just a better presentation (a recent example: how we recognize the individual reigns for tag teams in tables on tag team championship articles, which I pinged you so that you could provide input because I respected your opinion and liked the change you made at the current champions page and felt that should be the way to do it, and I had always felt the previous way was odd).
As for me vs. you, you keep saying things like "my way" or "my taste" or "my precious little reference format", but yet I have to keep explaining to you that the formatting is a standard across Wikipedia. What do you not understand about that? I don't know how much clearer I can be. And how is this in any way taking advantage of you? And what could I even offer that would benefit you?
Before you answer, think clearly and logically, and try not to let your personal feelings dictate your response. JDC808 ♫ 04:37, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Every time I hear someone say "think of the bigger picture" or "something bigger than one's self", I just want to take a flat head screwdriver and drive it through my temple because it is such utter goody-goody touchy feely BS. Don't sit there and give me the "Wikipedia standard" line like you're fighting for truth, justice, and the Wikipedia way. You want it changed because it's the way you want it done. Wikipedia on it's own would just sit there and collect dust, it isn't capable of establishing anything on it's own, so when someone says "Wikipedia standards" it just comes off as sugary sweet dreck. There are no Wikipedia standards, it is the standards of the editors who think they know better than everybody else. Don't give me Wiki-speak, just be honest and say you want things done a certain way because it's what you want. Just be honest and admit you want it for yourself, and spare me the phony baloney "betterment of Wikipedia" nonsense. Vjmlhds (talk) 05:00, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And to button up a couple of things - "How is this in any way taking advantage of you?" Simple, you want me to do what you want to do without me getting anything in return...want some, gotta give some, that's how it works in the real world, otherwise you're a sucker. And this - "And what could I even offer that would benefit you?" Simple again, an admission that Wiki-speak is a bunch of BS and that you just want to have your way. Vjmlhds (talk) 05:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds well you did not think clearly or logically and let your personal feelings dictate your response. I'm trying to be civil but you just want to keep trying to make it personal, and you are admittedly making it hard to stay civil. So much time has been wasted when this could have been solved 24 hours ago, actually months ago. You've made your intent clear that you do not want to follow Wikipedia standards (and you know what I mean when I say that) because you believe that you do no wrong and you are right (I'm only repeating what you have previously said). We are obviously getting nowhere because of your refusal to collaborate. If you want to make edits without any worry about standards, there are plenty of fan wikis for you to edit. JDC808 ♫ 05:43, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You want me to to do things your way, just simply admit that I am right. Swallow your pride and admit you are in it for yourself and that Wiki speak is BS, and I'll gladly do the references to your tastes. That's all it takes...just give me that. Vjmlhds (talk) 05:48, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Meh...wasn't as painful as I thought it would be...dropdown function is actually fairly easy. Just gotta get used to it I guess. I apologize for getting a little rough with you, it's just that you did come off as a little holier than thou, and that ruffled my feathers, but I could have chilled a bit myself as well. Now can we please put this to bed, shake hands, and live happily ever after? Vjmlhds (talk) 17:39, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uncle Howdy

[edit]

I inadvertently deleted Uncle Howdy when updating the 2023 Draft article regarding Bray's passing. I moved Howdy to his own section, as they were now no longer connected as a group, but my fat fingers wound up wiping Howdy out. Unintended on my part, just wanted to clarify things. Vjmlhds (talk) 04:14, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds gotcha, it does make me wonder what will become of him, as it was reported it was Bo Dallas playing him (and the resemblance was uncanny). Still in disbelief over Bray though. JDC808 ♫ 04:19, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Truthfully, Howdy will just probably quietly disappear, as they're not gonna wanna do any Bray/Fiend related storylines. If Bo Dallas sticks around WWE, they'll find something else for him to do. Vjmlhds (talk) 13:53, 25 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List discussion

[edit]

Per that discussion there, I was thinking Characters of God of War should at least be moved to either Characters of the God of War series or Characters of the God of War franchise (due to the lead wording), to help make it clearer that it's encompassing the whole thing.

Prominent

[edit]

Please, avoid to include personal opinion on the articles. If we mention that a match is "prominent" we need independent sources supporting that fact.

FTW

[edit]

You're overthinking it, my man. It's pro wrestling, all titles are kayfabe when you get right down to it, so all the stuff about being a "non-official title" just gums up the works. Besides, AEW does recognize the title on their roster page, so it shouldn't be an issue. Vjmlhds (talk) 03:32, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds after you scroll all the way down to Hook, yeah, it does say he's FTW Champion, but under the champions banner, it is not listed as an AEW title. There was also a video that Tony Schiavone did on AEW's YouTube going over the title's history and said it was not an official AEW title (trying to find the video). Yes, there's the kayfabe of it, but this would be like saying Punk's "Real World Championship" was an official AEW title (although in fairness, the FTW title is more "official" than it was).

CM Punk

[edit]

Please, be careful with the CM Punk article. It's one of the last FA we have. As you may know, the main complain about pro wrestling it's we write with excesive detail about weekly tv shows, almost a detailed summarize of fictional storylines. As you may know, the project guidelines say "Summarize the major events and key points of the wrestler's career. Avoid writing in proseline ("week-by-week" format) and adding excessive details." Writing every weekly appearence it's just no major event, no key point and week-per-week format. We can summarize these past weeks with he made appearences and was assigned to RAW, avoiding proseline and focusing on the important. Also, WP:IN-UNIVERSE, don't present fictional events as real. Punk cut a promo in character, so it's not notable to include that the character said he is home. If you have any problem, you can start a discussion on the talk page. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 19:04, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JDC808,
Please be more careful with page moves. You shouldn't have to move an article multiple times. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 02:34, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Liz not sure what you're referring to when saying moving a page to a title that is "harder to follow". I had to open up page titles by doing round robin redirects so the pages could be moved to their correct titles. There were a few articles that needed this.

HI. I just made several edits on that article (feel free to revert if you hate it) and it feels like this old GA article needs some love; especially its lead section where it kinda needs to be rewritten. Thank you. GreenishPickle! (🔔) 11:33, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Backlash France

[edit]

Thank you for not deleting the para about Professional wrestling in France. I think the event was a particular landmark in the pro wrestling history (and WWE product history) of a country whose wrestling history is a notable sunject. I added a similar paragraph to Summerslam 92 contextualising it as a landmark in the history of Professional wrestling in the United Kingdom with a WrestleMania III-scale live event and US PPV broadcast less than 4 years after the cancellation of ITV's Saturday afternoon wrestling coverage. SS92 and BF are both landmark events - in each case the first such event- in their respective Wikinotable histories of pro wrestling in the respective countries and deserve acknowledgement as such in both cases. They were FAR more than PPVs held in funny locations. Romomusicfan (talk) 11:28, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

JD combined

[edit]

Hello, JDC. Instead of being bold, I wanna ask first. I want to know the reason to combine the Judgment Day reigns into one. I mean, it's the first (honestly, third time) I have seen this. The first time I have seen this is with Undisputed Era as NXT champions, but just because the weird Adam Cole's reign. The second, the OVW's Legacy of Brutality. However, in every other article, we never combined titles with the same faction. Not WWE's La Resistance, NJPW's Bullet Club, or WCW's The Four Horsemen have combined reigns. If there are diferent combinations of members, we have included in separatecells, not combining the number as a faction overall. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 07:28, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@HHH Pedrigree we do in fact with New Day as well as Undisputed Era as you mentioned. And it's simply because it is the third reign for the stable as a whole. JDC808 ♫ 07:31, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
.Right, I forget about New Day. But as I said we made it as exceptions, usually due to the Freebird Rule. There are many other factions with different members as champions, like Los Ingobernables de Japón, D-Generation X, New World Order, The Nexus, but we sEparate the reigns by the combination of members. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 07:54, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

International/American

[edit]

If you look at AEW's championship roll call, they list MJF as the American Champion. I know about the title history, but that is simply sloppy housekeeping on AEW's part...they update one section of their website but not the other. We go through this with WWE on occasion when they update one part of their website but not the other. Vjmlhds (talk) 22:35, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vjmlhds why didn't you just reply at your talk page? That would have kept this conversation in one place instead of split across two talk pages.
Anyways, you're calling it sloppy housekeeping. Same thing could be said about what you're arguing for. Perhaps "American" was not supposed to be put on the "roll call". But regardless, that's not the OFFICIAL title history. The official title history is the definitive source.
I've also said this in the past and you're still doing it. You jump the gun way too soon on things. JDC808 ♫ 22:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, they have MJF's reign at 5 days, even though he won the title on July 17 and today's the 25th. That looks like they haven't updated that page since Monday the 22nd. Again...sloppy housekeeping Vjmlhds (talk) 22:44, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Vjmlhds that's an issue with the tracker they've got programmed as I doubt that they're manually going in and updating it everyday. I've noticed it be off on others on occasion.
But, until AEW provides something that's more definitive, like updating the official title history, then it should remain International until then. JDC808 ♫ 22:51, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to enter the chat over here...this way we can get some more eyeballs to take a gander, see what they think and break the stalemate Vjmlhds (talk) 23:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Crown Jewel 2024

[edit]

I certainly understand why you reverted my edit but on the 2024 Crown Jewel article. However my basis for not including it in the results table is the match was not official, as the bell never rang. Other cancelled matches such as featured during the 2020 Backlash event and Wrestlemania 39 were also not featured as ending in a no-contest. On the basis of those two I thought that deleting the "match" was adequate enough. Lemonademan22 (talk) 22:16, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
