Samula Anoa'i

I noticed you reverted my edit. I wanted to point out: we don't categorize by what companies they work for. The World Wrestling Council category is for the actual titles of the company and other things like that, not for the wrestlers. If you check: the WWE category doesn't list the wrestlers, neither does TNA or any other company. They aren't alumni categories of the wrestlers that worked wherever. I believe in the past there was alumni categories here, but they were deleted for whatever reason. Perhaps someone at the Wrestling project might know why.RobJ1981 (talk) 20:06, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lists vs B class

Hey. I noticed that you changed a few B class articles to List class. At WP:PW we had a discussion at one point where we decided that lists that were fully sourced should be B class, to differentiate them from the lists that still needed a bunch of work. I thought I'd bring it up...if you disagree with this, we can start a new discussion and talk it over. Nikki♥311 16:38, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: DYK

Thanks so much for letting me know! I'll take a look at them and see if I can get a couple DYKs. :) Nikki♥311 19:39, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. You know, right now at good article nominations there is a serious push to clear the backlog, so the list is the shortest it has been in months. It might be a good time to nominate some of the articles you are working on if you think they are ready. Nikki♥311 00:43, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lucha libre

Great work so far with your lucha libre project! I've been scanning some articles to see if you missed anybody. So far, I've only found Francisco Flores (wrestling promoter). His article is a mess. Nikki♥311 20:17, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I found another one that I don't think you had listed: Mascarita Sagrada. I tried to clean it up a bit, but it is pretty bad. Nikki♥311 19:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WWWF United States Championship

Hello MPJ, I was told that you won the "Wrestling Title Histories" book By Duncan and Will, if its no trouble can you look up the history for the above WWWF United States Championship? I can't find any reliable source to verify the reigns of the title, which I need for a list about defunct WWE titles that I am creating. If you find it, may you give me the page # and other necessary info. Thanks so much!--₮RU CӨ 01:27, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that really does not match what WP has. Is this all the reigns that the book has? Just making sure so I can fix it in the championship article and make fixes accordingly in my list. Thanks so much for finding this information, it really helps me and all of us out.--₮RU CӨ 02:47, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, so I guess all the pages need to be update accordingly. Thanks for find that information, it will help out.--₮RU CӨ 02:55, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rip Hawk

Thanks for reviewing this article. I believe I have addressed all of your concerns. If anything still needs some work, please let me know. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. I've also been meaning to get in touch about something else. I've been working on the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame article in my sandbox (User:GaryColemanFan/Murphy). I have found it very difficult to find information about a few wrestlers, and I was hoping you could help. I can't find reliable sources for any of Perro Aguayo's title reigns. Negro Casas also has very little information available (the article is only three sentences), so I can't find any title information for him. Likewise with Dos Caras. As for The Fabulous Kangaroos, I haven't been able to find any reliable sources for their real names or any specific references for their title reigns. If you're still looking for articles about Mexican wrestlers to work on, the three I mentioned might be good. I also figured you know more about the Kangaroos than anyone else on Wikipedia, so you might be able to point me in the right direction. If you have a chance to help with any of this sometime (no rush), I would really appreciate it. GaryColemanFan (talk) 20:43, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE:FLs

Not sure. I think there is an unofficial rule that the tables have to have at least 10 entries to be considered long enough. Also, the reviewers at FLC don't consider wrestlingtitles.com reliable and will only accept it if the title's page mentions getting all the information from the Wrestling Titles book. You might want to ask User:Truco, as he has had a few lists promoted and reviews there regularly. Nikki♥311 00:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you don't mind me butting into the conversation, but I took a look at your lists and have a few comments if you're willing to hear them. First, I absolutely love the look of the lists -- the grey and white is very effective, and everything looks very nice. Second, I'd reflect Nikki's concerns about the sourcing -- the wrestling titles Web site seems to gather sources from all over the place, which makes verifying its trustworthiness very tough. Third, I'd suggest getting someone to read through the text before you submit it. There were a few grammatical items that need to be cleaned up. Fourth, I'd suggest including a little more context about the titles. As someone who knows absolutely nothing about professional wrestling, it be nice to know a little about the circumstances surrounding them. But from what I can tell from your user page, you're a sharp, capable editor, and I wouldn't be surprised to see some of your stuff in FLC before too long. Good luck! JKBrooks85 (talk) 11:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, every bit of advice is welcome. with regards to the wrestling-titles website what I'll probably try and do is get other sources for the reigns after 1999, before 1999 the book got it covered - I'll do my best to find sources independent of wrestling-titles. Also thanks for the input on the text, it tends to be neglected in lists but you're right that has to be up to quality as well. Context is a good idea too, I'd probably expand on that a bit for those I intent to put up for FL, thanks for your input. MPJ-DK (talk) 12:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One thing I forgot to mention is that pictures are extremely helpful as well. Even if it's just a picture of someone who won one of the titles, rather than the title belt itself, it'd be useful. JKBrooks85 (talk) 12:07, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Nikki and MPJ. ;) In all honesty, the lead of the lists needs to be expanded to state a little history of the title (and possibly the company itself). When I say history, I mean how its creation came to be about. That will be the first paragraph, the second paragraph will consist of a summary of the list itself. The table also needs to be reformatted to how they are in other FLs. A good example would be the recently promoted List of ECW Television Champions, List of WWF Light Heavyweight Champions, and List of ECW Tag Team Champions. I hope this helps, if not, you can drop by my talk page.--₮RU CӨ 14:12, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It looks good so far, but the lead needs to be cut down. IMO, the problem may be the {{center}} templates, because that is not in other lists (even though it is in the number column, it could affect the rest of the columns. One way to cut down the lead is to make a history section, and move the list itself to a List of _____ Champions, as that is the norm, while the main article is an article. See World Heavyweight Championship (WWE) and List of World Heavyweight Champions (WWE).₮RU CӨ 01:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alprazolam

Hi, I made some changes which you suggested to the alprazolam article. I am wondering when you get a chance if you can see if it passes Good Article status yet?--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 20:40, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Luchadore articles

Hello. I noticied your working on Luchadore-related articles, particularly the list you've complied (very impressive!), and I was wondering if you'd like to use information from my own list ? It generally lists current tags and other issues for every wrestler in Category:Mexican professional wrestlers as well red links gathered from articles, user sub pages and Pro Wrestling Illustrated. 71.184.57.80 (talk) 05:03, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added what I have on my talk page. I'm still adding to the list, but I hope it helps. 71.184.57.80 (talk) 06:58, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. 71.184.57.80 (talk) 11:43, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've referenced all the post-2000 title histories in "Category:Mexican professional wrestlers" and noted them on the list. I have a few of the missing title histories for the WWA (WWA World Heavyweight, Light Heavyweight, Junior Light Heavyweight, Middleweight, Welterweight, Lightweight, Tag Team, Trios and Women's Champioships) and UWA (UWA Lightweight, Featherweight, Women's and Women's Tag Team Championships) and I was wondering if you could could check if its referenced in "Wrestling Title Histories" before I submit them to WP:Afc ? 71.184.57.80 (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help with the references. I wasn't sure about the correct names, the WWA Junior Heavyweight title is under WWA World Junior Light Heavyweight Championship and most of the champions use the "world title". Also I accidentally used "Woman's Championship" instead of "Women's Championship" when creating the women's titles. Do you know how I can fix this ? 71.184.57.80 (talk) 13:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Conflicting sources for WWA Welterweight title

I was going over my submission for the WWA Welterweight Championship and Wrestling-titles.com and Solie.org WWA Welterweight pages have different versions. Eddy Guerrero and Rey Misterio, Jr. both have title reigns on Solie.org for example and Santo apparently has an extra title reign on Wrestling-titles.com. Do you know which is the correct version ? 71.184.57.80 (talk) 13:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted some redirects for the WWA titles if you want to look them over for the correct names. Don't suppose I could trouble you for the WTH references for the IWRG titles ? :) 71.184.57.80 (talk) 16:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help again. I just submitted the rest of the IWRG titles today. By the way, I have a small list of facts from various luchador articles which I thought might be good additions for DYK. From what I understand of DYK guidelines, articles have to be at least five days old or substancially expanded ? I'm not sure which facts I have meet these, I doubt Santo could be expanded anymore (though it would be awesome to bring it up to FA), but I'm sure articles like Rolando Vera, Fray Tormenta or Juana Barraza could pass. I've had some trouble finding reliable sources for some of these, I'm not sure how to properly cite the Charly Manson youtube link, but it'd be great if you could take a look at some of these. 71.184.57.80 (talk) 03:13, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Statement

Hey, I just want you to know if you ever need my help just say hey. If I'm not busy I'll help with anything from AAA, CMLL, etc. It is nice to see someone working on that group of articles. I can relate since no one was really trying to expand the TNA stuff to a higher class until I came along. So keep up the good work, the project shouldn't be all about the WWE. Also I noticed a link to Sean Waltman on your user page, if you have any future plans to expand that article I'm game to help.--WillC 07:22, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, I thought it would be harder to find sources, seeing as this is the English pedia I would expect you wouldn't find many reliable ones in English, they would all be Spanish. My main reason for X-Pac is for the TNA stuff, plus a topic for DX. I recently found out most of the articles or topics I have planned for the future will cause me to work on articles I don't really care about, like Monty Sopp-for a topic about The Beautiful People. I then noticed by then a DX topic would only be off by a few articles, that became a future plan. Then a List of TNA X Division Champions topic came into my head, noticing that most of the bio articles I have planned will cause a topic for that article to become closer than before, that became a future project. Seeing as Waltman would kill two birds with one stone, I've been trying to find someone to work with me on it since I could really care less about expanding it in the first place.--WillC 09:11, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, keep up the good work, good luck with that.--WillC 14:11, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really retired per-say. I'm really just trying to leave so I can get stuff done. I've got school work to do and it is more important than this place. So while I get on the computer it cuts into the time I could be finishing some work. I'll pop in every day to check some stuff and probably pop out an article here and there, but this time I'm staying away and only coming on once or twice a day tops.--WillC 17:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi, I hope all is well. If you remember me from when you reviewed the alprazolam article for good article. If you are interested, I have been working on the main benzodiazepine article to get it up to good article status. If you are interested in reviewing it and making suggestions feel free. It is currently nominated for good article review. If you are too busy not to worry. :)--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 01:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Inspiration is a hoax!?

You decided to decline the requested new artice Inspiration. Thus, it appears that you don't believe that the film was ever made, and you think that the information about it is all fictitious, even though the links provided to Imdb.com and Allmovies.com confirm the information (and even the essential critique). You seem to be quite presumptuous! Wikipedia articles on other Garbo movies do not, in general, cite any better sources. Do you think that the articles on those other movies are hoaxes as well? And calling Garbo Forever just a fan site is dismissive, given the amount of good information on this non-profit site. BTW, there is an article about the film on the German and French wikipedias, and therefore I thought that en-wiki should have one as well, but obviously I have been proved wrong. 130.188.8.13 (talk) 16:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
