[edit] Ric Flair's NWA World Title reigns
Flair did win the championship belt for the 10th time on July 18, 1993. However, the National Wrestling Alliance officially dropped it's recognition of Flair's 10th reign in September of 1993 after World Championship Wrestling withdrew from the National Wrestling Alliance. Since the NWA doesn't recognize Flair's 10th reign, he's officially recognized by them as a 9 time champion, not 10. Check out the NWA World Title history on the NWA's website. It lists all the wrestlers who've won the title, including championship wins and losses not recognized as official NWA canon. Odin's Beard 18:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- Look directly below where it mentions his 10th title win, which occurred in Biloxi, Ms, it says: "Recognition dropped by NWA in 93/09 after WCW withdraws from NWA; WCW continues to recognize "WCW International" World Heavyweight title with Flair as the champion". Even though Flair did win the title on July 18, 1993, the NWA dropped it's recognition of that reign in September of 1993 after WCW's withdrawl from the National Wrestling Alliance. Odin's Beard 00:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don't see any other way to interpret the reign. What else other than the 10th title reign could the NWA be dropping recognition of? The statement is posted directly below the listing of Flair's 10th title win, which is only a few months prior to WCW's withdrawl from the NWA. When Flair left WCW for the WWF in late 1991, the listing mentions how Flair was stripped of the title but nothing was said about any recognition being dropped. If Flair was merely stripped of the championship and not the reign itself, as you're suggesting, then it would say so as the history makes a distinction between the two terms.

- An edit war wasn't my intention, nor was it a goal or anything. The NWA's choice of wording the statement, which I suppose can cause different interpretations, is somewhat vague in some terms. It would be easier if they said, in plain as dirt sort of way, that they were dropping recognition of the reign. However, seeing as how the reign can be disputed, given interpretation of the NWA statement, the 10th reign can be disputed, perhaps it's best to just leave the number of NWA World Title reigns at 9 since there's no question that he does have at least that many.

[edit] List of tall men and List of tall women
Hi Halbared, Given that it will not be long before the articles are AfD'd once more, I have started a section at Talk:List of tall men#Future direction of the article to try to build consensus about the future of these two articles. You are a frequent and regular contributor to the List of tall men article, so I am asking for your input. Another major editor is User:T. Anthony, but he has expressed his intention of quitting Wikipedia so I'm not notifying him. I'm not notifying anyone else as noone else seems to have made multiple contributions over an extended timeframe. I have not in the past contributed content to either of these articles, but I think they or some refocused version of them should be kept and I'm willing to work toward it. I would appreciate your comments, if you have any of course. Cheers, Black Falcon 05:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

- Great! I too agree that the list should have those people who are among the the tallest recorded (e.g., Wadlow) and those who are famous for their height (e.g., Brad Garrett). The details of exactly what criteria are used can be worked out on the talk page. Given the current state of the list, I am amazed at some editors' comments that it would be easier to delete this list and start over. This is one of the best-sourced lists in Wikipedia! Aside from the "Historical" section, there are only three names that are still unsourced. I will work on those now. Cheers, Black Falcon 17:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] List of tall men removals?
Good morning Halbared, I was curious as to why some edits were removed from the List of tall men article. I had recently listed Glen Jaccobs, Kevin Nash, Nathan Jones and Matt Morgan. All of these men more than make the list. I realize that the last two are not as well known as the previous two wrestlers, and I also know that their billed height differs from actual height (i.e. -- "Kane" is billed as 7'0", but he is actually between 6'8" and 6'9"). Was it perhaps because there was no reference that denoted their actual height? If I was to find this information from a non-self-promoting location and reference it, would they be removed again?
Thanks! ~kmwatcha 03:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
