[edit] Bad Links

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

Also please remove the _ from the bad links and just add a space to it. Example: Viscera (wrestler)|Mabel and NOT Viscera_(wrestler)|Mabel. Thank you. -- bulletproof 3:16 19:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Just replace the underscore with a space.-- bulletproof 3:16 19:34, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Sorry man I didn't know there was anything wrong with the way I linked it, I even checked the links and they work for me, but I'll be sure to fix all the places I've done it wrong. Thank you for the heads up, I'm still learning the ropes here MPJ-DK 19:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
No prob man. If there is anything you need help on you know where to ask. Welcome to Wikipedia. Cheers! -- bulletproof 3:16 19:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
There I think that's all of them MPJ-DK 19:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heat Links

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

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

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

[edit] Re : Deleted Continental Wrestling Association article

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

[edit] Wrestling tag teams

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

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

[edit] Image:ColConnection.jpg

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

[edit] Owen Hart cleanup

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

[edit] Edit summaries

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

[edit] Paul Orndorff revert

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

[edit] IWA

MPJ-DK,

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

[edit] Mike Kahlua

MPJ-DK,

Thanks for the help with Mike Kahlua (especially as it seemed like an obscure and off-the-wall question). By the way, I'm working on a list similar to an organized crime list I've previously compiled which would list references and other points of notability for independent wrestling promotions to create/recreate if you'd be interested. MadMax 08:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
You're welcome and yes that'd be a great idea since there seems to be a "sources now" thing going around right now. I got books, websites etc to add MPJ-DK 09:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
That would be a great help, thanks. All I have access to are old issues of PWI and two of RD Reynolds' books. I have a decent list at this point, although I am missing a lot of NWA and regional territories. MadMax 23:00, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

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

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

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

[edit] IWCCW alumni

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

[edit] Please reconsider my block

Note: Please check your block log linked below. If there are no blocks listed, or the latest one has already expired, then you have been autoblocked. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead. We cannot unblock you otherwise.

This blocked user is asking that their block be reviewed:

First of all I’ve tried to e-mail the admin who blocked me, but I don’t know if he’s busy or what since I haven’t heard – if I’m jumping the gun here then I am sorry.

I was blocked indefinitely for ”Repeated and unacceptable violations of WP:BLP”, since no more details were given I assume that this was because I reverted the blanking of 6 pages (if this isn’t the reason then I’d like to know why because I don’t think I’ve done anything else that could be construed as breaking WP:BLP. The pages in question were

Al Blake, Carlene Begnaud, Bart Batten, Bob Backlund, Melissa Anderson, Skandor Akbar

These were all blanked citing WP:BLP as the reason for blanking them, when reading WP:BLP closely I read found that it’s position on removing material is as follows: Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just highly questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion.

But to me the removal of the championship history, the fimishing moves or the list of names a person has managed was overstepping the boundaries of WP:BLP – something which I commented on several times to the blanking editor here. I never got an explanation why he blanked out non-contentious material so I decided to revert 1 edit to six individual pages (once) since I felt that the grounds for why they were blanked were wrong. 1 revert to each of the 6 pages and for that I’m blocked indefinitely.

My 6 reverts were all undone with the comment "Reverted good faith edits by MPJ-DK per policy concerns. Please read our policies and guidelines" – not exactly accusations of vandalism.

I’m asking an administrator to please look at my my contributions to wikipedia then they'll see that I have actually added a great deal to the quality of many, many articles on Wikipedia and never tried to be anything but a positive contributor here, especially to WP:PW and the many, many articles in the pro-wrestling project that are currently unsourced, I totally agree 100% that all articles need sources and I’m working on adding sources to all the pages I’ve expanded myself (see my user page for a long list of articles I’ve either added or expanded) I just disagree with the method used in this case. I believe that my blocking was unjustified and the indefinite lenght of it overly harsh considering how little wrong I have done here (and in good faith) so I hope the admins here will reconsider it.

Administrators: Replace this template with one of the following:
