[edit] Hardy Boyz

DO NOT ADD WEEK BY WEEK EVENTS, RUMORS OR SPECULATION. THIS INCLUDES ANNOUNCED MATCHES THAT HAVE NOT YET OCCURRED. WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A NEWS SITE BUT AN ONLINE ENCYCLOPAEDIA. Please see the articles "Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not" and "Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles" for more information.

I'm sorry, but what don't you understand about this? Its a fairly simple concept to understand. If you keep adding these future events, you will be reported. Thanks. -- Mikedk9109  (talk)  00:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ECW December to Dismember

Did you choose to ignore that warning on purpose? It says not to add in matches that haven't been announced on WWE TV or wwe.com, only 2 matches have been announced. TJ Spyke 04:37, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WWE Armageddon

The matches are listed in the order wwe.com has them listed. So talk to WWE if you have a problem. TJ Spyke 22:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

WWE.com doesn't control Wikipedia. The order doesn't have to be the same. People aren't comparing the article and WWE.com and saying "this sucks, it's not the same order.. the article is horrible" or anything like that. When the event takes place, the match order is usually not the same as what was posted on WWE.com... so it doesn't matter. Being accurate is one thing, but being obsessive about the order isn't needed. The main event obviously should be on the top, but the other matches don't make a difference when it comes to the order. RobJ1981 22:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
WWE almost always lists the main event/biggest match first. They do so to help sell the PPV since they know most people will care more about something like Batista/Finlay than Benoit/Guerreo for example. TJ Spyke 22:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
They only list the biggest match first. I think they add the rest of the matches based on when they are announced, and they announced the Inferno match before the Last Ride match. TJ Spyke 22:51, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
?? I'm just explaining why I think they order the matches the way they do. I'm not "fighting", i've just been saying how wwe.com lists the matches and a plausible explanation for the reason why they list them that way. TJ Spyke 22:56, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
TJ thinks it's right, so anything against his opinion...gets reverted and changed. There is no set Pro Wrestling Project policy on this matter. The only things that make sense when making a match order: main event at the top, champions are listed first. Anything else should be done however, and not just a "set" way just to be a copy of WWE's preview on their website. The order changes when the event takes place anyway...so the match order on right now is temporary... so it shouldn't be a big deal if it's not a copy of WWE.com.

[edit] Wikipedia policy does NOT allow non-free images on ANY USER PAGES

Please do not include non-free images (images uploaded to Wikipedia without the permission of the copyright owner, or under licenses that do not permit commercial use) on your user page or on any subpage thereof (this is official policy and the usual wide user page latitude does not apply, see Wikipedia:Fair use criteria for details). Non-free images found on a user page (including user talk pages) may be removed (preferably by replacing it with a link to the image) from that page without warning (and, if not used in a Wikipedia article, deleted entirely). -- bulletproof 3:16 23:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

It is Wikipedia policy. Per Wikipedia:User page, you are not allowed to use these images on your user page. If you disagree with these official policies and guidelines, then you are free to discuss them here (Wikipedia talk:User page). However, if you continue this blatant disruption, I would be more than happy to report you to an admin. -- bulletproof 3:16 23:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One for the Kids (blink-182 album)

A tag has been placed on One for the Kids (blink-182 album), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how One for the Kids (blink-182 album) is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:One for the Kids (blink-182 album) saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions. riana_dzasta 11:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note

Please view Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/One for the Kids (blink-182 album). Thanks, riana_dzasta 11:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Captain Oats

I've nominated the article Captain Oats for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Captain Oats satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Captain Oats. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Captain Oats during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion. riana_dzasta 11:39, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The O.C.

Hello. We use title screens in television articles, please cease adding a redlink to The O.C. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 11:47, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if you believe it is of "better quality" the reason being we don't use high-quality, high resolution fair use images here. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 11:49, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Atwood

  • You have recently recreated or reposted material which previously was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies at Frank Atwood. Please do not recreate this article without prior approval from an administrator or you may be blocked from editing. We ask that you respect what Wikipedia is not. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may seek an independent review here. Danny Lilithborne 03:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
    • If you are the same person as User:67.80.238.244, I would strongly suggest that logging out to revert a page that was redirected by admins is not a good way of avoiding controversy. JuJube 02:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
      • Similar edit patterning, including a focus on Frank Atwood, plus one started editing shortly after the other stopped; and, you uploaded a photo for Frank Atwood after the closed AfD, which the anon promptly used in his Frank Atwood article. JuJube 00:01, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Denver Nuggets Allen Iverson.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Denver Nuggets Allen Iverson.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECUtalk 15:14, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rated-RKO.png

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Rated-RKO.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 17:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

You said: "How was that picture used under fair use? I don't understand."
You said we are using the image under fair-use when you uploaded it. You choose the {{WWE-photo}} tag. As the license specifies, you must provide a detailed fair-use rationale for each use on the Wikipedia. You have not yet done this. --Yamla 02:32, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:KevinSorboFrankAtwood.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:KevinSorboFrankAtwood.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Yamla 03:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

You said: "Why do all my pictures have those stupid deletion tags on them because of fair use? I told you guys why I believe it is under fair use, so what's the problem? I've seen other pictures with that exact fair use reasoning and those pictures haven't been deleted, so why are mine?"

All fair-use images must have detailed fair-use rationales. Additionally, we are not permitted to use such images to depict living people. There are many images which violate Wikipedia policy. If you find any, please tag them appropriately. Thanks. --Yamla 15:15, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Donald Trump

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Donald Trump, you will be blocked from editing. Stop introducing information on WrestleMania 23. It was already discussed and agreed upon on the article's discussion page. Bmg916 Speak to Me 16:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Announced matches or events that have not yet occurred do not go into articles per Wikipedia's professional wrestling project policies and style guide. That's why the WrestleMania 23 references have been taken out every time. Please see the article's discussion page for further information on why this is not to be included as it has been discussed there many, many times. Bmg916 Speak to Me 17:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
