Career Threatening Match
Considering I was following the conscense of "the project", in which match types are listed before the match participants, I don't see the need to discuss anything. Nonetheless, to the talk page. Mshake3 (talk) 02:40, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

- Wait, is the WrestlingRevealed.com source to back up that the PPV was good, or that the Khali versus Batista match was disappointing? –LAX 16:31, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
World Wrestling Entertainment had originally planned an angle between the cast of the Jackass TV series and Umaga, with the feud concluding in a match at SummerSlam. The storylines were scheduled to start at the previous pay-per-view, The Great American Bash, but were canceled when the Jackass cast dropped out due to the Chris Benoit double murder and suicide receiving high media attention.
Never mind, check the article. –LAX 18:24, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, I really appreciate it. I may, however, need your help in mentioning that wrestlers were taking off TV due to suspension. –LAX 18:55, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Re:1995 Japanese Grand Prix
Yes, I do have the 1995 AUTOCOURSE, but I'm currently on holiday so it's not to hand at the moment! I'll take a look when I get back home in approximately a week and a half.-- Diniz (talk) 23:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- There aren't any quotations given from other figures about Alesi's performance, but there is quite a bit of information:
- Jean's arrival in the pits [to change to slicks] was a typically emotional affair, the Frenchman jinking right across the bows of Herbert's Benetton to enter the pit lane a split-second after after overtaking the Englishman coming through the immediately preceding flat-out left-hander [130R]. One could only speculate as to precisely what Alesi had been thinking about... (p.219)
- Ferrari's decision to bring in Alesi for slicks[...]had been a tactical master-stroke. (p.219)
- Alesi came storming up onto Hill's tail as they braked for the pits chicane [on lap 10]. Without a second's hesistation, Jean slammed down the outside and cut across Damon's bows going into the tight right-hander. Hill gave him racing room in a disciplined manner. (p.219)
- On lap 25 the gallant Alesi retired from second place out on the circuit with apparent differential failure. On closer examination it was discovered that a driveshaft joint had failed inside the gearbox, possibly as a result of Jean's wild spin across the run-off as he avoided Lamy's Minardi. It was a bitter pill for the Frenchman to swallow. Together with Schumacher, he had been the absolute star of the show. But not blessed with the Benetton's mechanical reliability, his Ferrari had now wilted yet again. (p.219)
- "It would be presumptuous of me to say that I could have won," shrugged Alesi, "but I would certainly have fought for it, all the way to the end. I tried again to win today and I was in a bad mood, because I was convinced I did not jump the start. The grid slopes downhill and, although the car crept forwards by a few centimetres, it was certainly not intentional." (p.219)
- It had been another sparkling demonstration of Michael Schumacher's genius, although Alesi's performance certainly gave Benetton a boost when they looked ahead to 1996. (p.221)
- I hope this helps!-- Diniz (talk) 10:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

- Hill was strongly criticised by the British media after his poor Pacific GP, and it was suggested that he was going to be dumped in favour of Frentzen or Berger for 1996, but Frank Williams gave him an unequivocal vote of confidence (p.218) in the week before the Japanese GP.
- It might be worth clarifying that Wendlinger drove in the first few races of 1995, and that the Japanese GP wasn't his first comeback since his 1994 accident.
- Qualifying incidents: Herbert crashed heavily on Friday (p.217), Blundell missed the Saturday qualifying session on medical advice (p.217) (it might be worth pointing out that his second crash was much more severe than his first, and at 130R - the same corner where Coulthard crashed in the race, which is already mentioned).
- Suzuki's injuries are given as a cracked vertebra and internal lung bleeding, not a broken rib (p.217). It's probable that he sustained both sets of injuries, but the reporting is slightly different.
- Perhaps it's worth emphasising the disappointment of Williams' qualifying, given that the team was usually the dominant force in 1995 qualifying sessions? Damon Hill: "Nobody is more disappointed than myself and the team. We have to investigate why we were not competitive. I was surprised by the performance of the McLaren and even more impressed by Michael's performance at the end of the session." (pp.217-218)
- Berger also jumped the start, as well as Alesi. Both drivers blamed the downward slope of the starting grid (incident p.218, blame p.219).
- First corner accident: Morbidelli was hit by Wendlinger and retired, having stalled the engine (p.218).
- The Jordan drivers did collide, but very lightly: Barrichello's rear wing was slightly deranged by the conflict before he came to rest against the wall. Barrichello: "Thankfully he kept going, because I knew it would be very big trouble for me if he didn't!" (p.219)
- Frentzen ran into the back of Irvine at the chicane (i.e. same place as Barrichello) on lap 20, losing his front wing (p.219).
- Coulthard jumped ahead of Häkkinen at the pit stops (Häkkinen's on lap 28, Coulthard's on lap 34) (p.221).
- Hill blamed oil on the track for his second spin at Spoon Curve. It was also an exact duplication of his mistake during Saturday practice (p.221).
- Williams was fined $10,000 for Hill's pitlane speeding, as he retired before taking his penalty (p.221).
- Blundell narrowly failed to catch Salo for the final point after starting right at the back (1.8s).

Template:Grand Prix race report infobox
Hi D.M.N. Thanks for pointing that out - I didn't see that effect when I was testing my changes. The problem is that Michael Schumacher's name is so long - you don't get the wrapping when the driver's name is shorter (e.g. 2008 Australian Grand Prix). I can't think of a better/neater way to include the "on lap" information; noting that you can't put it on the same line as the fastest lap time, because for races where multiple drivers set the same fastest lap time (e.g. 1961 Monaco Grand Prix), they most likely did it on different laps. Any ideas? DH85868993 (talk) 14:36, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Just....
... a quick note and apology. I haven't forgotten you but I am exceedingly busy right now - 10-12 hour days and my boss is coming out next week and will be writing the report that my next posting depends on.

I believe you are listed as the owner of a copy of The Monday Night War DVD. I was wondering if you could upload a screenshot of the nWo formation at the Bash at the Beach (1996) event and add it to the article.

Hey DMN, I am pretty sure you are an admin, so is there any way you could tell our buddy Scorpion at the wiki project Pro wrestling to chill out a bit? He is getting a bit up tight with the rules, removing posts of members announcing they are leaving, etc. Ain't there some kind of rule about being too uptight? :P Kris (talk) 16:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

I hate to be a dick, but can you please explain why some of our pro wrestling websites are reliable, here? I am having trouble explaining why and finding out how/why the sites are reliable. I would hate to have to remove them because then nearly every source would be from WWE.com, and there would be no source for the attendance or dark match that was held before the event. –LAX 02:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

You're right, it was done in good faith as I did not see any changes in the change log for more than 24 hours. I don't see the harm in having it left off until you get back to work on the article.

1995 Japanese Grand Prix
If you look at the other FACs up, you'll see that I've been investigating all the candidates sources, not just yours. While I'd love to have time to devote to every candidate and do a full review of the prose and other aspects, I just don't have the time. It has been a failing of FAs for a while that no one was investigating the sources and commenting on the reliablity or non-reliability of them for quite a while, and I've tried to step up and help with that. Others at FAC specialize in other areas, User:Tony1 does MOS issues and prose, User:Elcobbola does a lot of work on pictures and fair use. I put my comments under "comments" so that folks don't think that I've done a full review, and I won't support or oppose unless I have time to do a full review of everything in the article. I hope this helps explain things to you. I know you're anxious for supports, and they will come, things move a their own pace at FAC. There are some good suggestions here about dealing with the FAC process. Ealdgyth - Talk 16:17, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
lordsofpian.net
Since my computer crashes every time I attempt to go lordsofpain.net, can you please find out if the site is reliable based on the comments left here? I would appreciate if you would do this for me because if it cannot be proved reliable, the paragraph on the Jackass involvement would need another source that says just about everything LOP does. Thanks, –LAX 23:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Done. And thank you for helping me with SummerSlam, I really appreciate it. –LAX 18:52, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Article
I will try to comment tonight or tomorrow, but for now, i get to go look at really expensive horses and critique them to bits! Yay for horse shows. But there really is nothing wrong with a project supporting articles in their project area. Especially from some of the more obscure projects. As long as they disclose that they are a member of the project, I would expect a project to support. But really, get out and give those neutral non-knowledgeable reviews! That'll help a bunch, building a network of folks outside your subject area. (I'm just jealous because you have other folks working in your subject area. Medieval bishops and quarter horses seem to be edited by me, myself and I.) Ealdgyth - Talk 15:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Japanese Grand Prix
I've just actually left a comment on the PR. Everything looks great. I've added one note about the damp conditions, and once you re-word Blundell's qualifying, then it probably only needs images, as far as I'm concerned. Let me know when you put it to FAC - I noticed the talk page comments yesterday - and as long as there are images, I can't see any reasons why I wouldn't support. Nice work. Peanut4 (talk) 17:13, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm happy to abide by consensus - that's what WP's about after all! - but what's the reason for not putting on standings after each race? It seems a bit weird to me. Peanut4 (talk) 17:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's why I asked. If you're going to write a paragraph about the points situation, it would be in prose. Yet the information is perfect to be represented in a list format, and far easier for the reader to digest. I'll have a look at the main season article though before making any other judgement. Peanut4 (talk) 20:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Re:1995 Japanese Grand Prix
Sorry D.M.N., but I'm back at uni now and no longer have access to the book. I don't think there was a quotation from Blundell, but I can't say so with absolute certainty. You'll have to wait until at least the end of June for me to be able to confirm this, I'm afraid.-- Diniz(talk) 19:10, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Sources
I generally don't do a full in-depth check of sources the second time an article comes to FAC, unless it was substantially rewritten. I do check that there haven't been a lot of changes in the sources, just to make sure that things haven't changed that much. If there are still unresolved sourcing issues I'd bring them up again, of course. Ealdgyth - Talk 00:29, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
My FAC review of 1995 Japanese Grand Prix
Hey D.M.N., I'm sorry to be a bit late catching up with this situation but I wanted to send you a note since I "commented" but never supported. While each reviewer has his/her level of attentiveness, I don't generally leave comments unattended if they have been addressed. In this case, I never felt that my comment about jargon and the article's appropriateness for a general audience was satisfied. I would make the same comment at Peer Review - have someone who knows nothing about racing (better yet, who cares nothing for it) read the article and point out places where they get lost. The play-by-play is simply bewildering to a layperson.
Having said that, I owe you an apology for what I see now was poor communication on my part. I should have got back to you with a concrete statement to the effect of, "No, you didn't address all my concerns." I didn't do that and I'm sorry. I don't have a lot of time for about the next week, but please drop me a reminder next week and I will help go through the article and make sure it's ready for its next turn at FAC. --Laser brain (talk) 05:32, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
1995 Japanese GP review
Thank you for the barnstar. I'm glad to see that you're not mad about my "trillions" :)) of peer review comments. I was hoping that you weren't feeling that I'm a jerk. I guess being nitpicky is good in this context. To be honest, I wouldn't have passed the article through GA without all of these changes if I were reviewing it.
It's fine if you want to use the word "penultimate", but I won't use it in anything that I write. It's like "one off" - it's a word that doesn't get much (or any) use in the U.S. I agree with Laser that you should attempt to find a non-racing fan to review the article. Hopefully someone will be more apt to peer review it since it has been extensively changed after the high number of wording changes that I suggested. I'm watching the peer review, so I'll respond back to you when you get done or as a need arises. I plan to read it a second time with another thorough review. Next time I'll look over other things besides the wording. Royalbroil 00:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Leaving wiki now for a bit, but will be happy to on my return. If I forget, feel free to nudge! --Dweller (talk) 15:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
It seems to be a bug
[2] This diff is me reverting myself to the previous version showing there is no difference, however [3] this shows that the revert was only to change the date. I don't even know where in the article that "Dismember" edit appears. –– Lid(Talk) 11:27, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

GA reviews and roads
Typically sources aren't required for the route description of a roads article since any map could be used to verify the information. Yes, it is nice to have, but it has not been an absolute requirement since the Google Maps, Rand McNally Road Atlas or even a state map could be used. Imzadi1979 (talk) 17:53, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

1995 Japanese Grand Prix FAC
Thanks for the quick response. I struck the four issues that you addressed. Once the commas get checked, let me know. The only reason I'm not fully supporting the article now is that I feel better about supporting something if all outstanding issues are taken care of, in addition to anything I find. Thanks again and good luck. Giants2008 (talk) 01:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey there
Sorry too, about the edit conflicts. Instead of using the generic {{cite web}}, I have used {{cite journal}}, {{cite conference}} and {{cite news}} where appropriate. Do take a look at my last edit, and see if you are agreeable? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 09:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Since the last issue, the number of stub articles has decreased again. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.

Re:This
Whoa, I didn't mean it in a way that "your work on D2D was bad", I meant that SS07 looks like it has more content, like its bigger, which is what I meant, as I haven't read both articles word by word yet. And I don't have a problem with FAC policy, (where did you get that from?). Also, if you say all that about the article, please inform LAX of it, not me, as I stated I did not meant that your article is inferior to SummerSlam07. And I have asked the user who said that the sources were unreliable to check them, as I gave them a link to where they get their info from. Again, I am sorry if you took this the wrong way, I did not mean it in the way you took it.--~SRS~ 20:57, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Again, you took that comment the wrong way, as I was jokingly talking to LAX about it, I know that FAC is a long, strict process, and its the same for every project. And I also see your concern, which is a problem for most FAC's, but its how Wikipedia works sometimes.--~SRS~ 21:06, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Supporting FAC
I am now fully behind the article, after your comma fixes. The "leaning" part of my support is now struck. I also offered opinions on the two remaining criticisms, namely sourcing and pictures. Great job with the article, and good luck with the rest of this FAC. Giants2008 (talk) 18:12, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey
Hey man, it's been a while. How's it going? SexySeaBass TheOriginal 01:17, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
"Meh, I'm OK." Hmm, it doesn't sound like things are how they should be. Wikipedia should never be a chore. Anything going on I could help with? Cheers, SexySeaBass TheOriginal 01:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm doing good. I've been taking it easy a lot lately. Hornetman doesn't bother me anymore. There were some issues I don't feel comfortable revealing that were aggravating the situation before, which is why I didn't treat him as "just another crazy sockpuppeteer." However, those issues have been resolved, so I can just deal with this situation like I treat any other ban evasion situation. Good luck on your finals. What classes are you taking right now, if you don't mind me asking. Cheers, SexySeaBass TheOriginal 22:20, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Sandbox
Hey D.M.N.. If I put my sandbox on the mainspace do you think it would stay or not? Of course I will change every thing like when it says's "Insert team here" and tuff like that, but let me know please. The reason I'm asking you is becasue your one of the best user's I know :).

Good Luck with your exams
I'm glad I did mine 24 years ago and not now. Don't follow my example but do plenty of revision. It always pays off... says the big slacker. Spartaz Humbug! 15:59, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove yourself from the Editor of the Week?--~SRX~ 19:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
RE: Wreckless Intent
The reason I semi-protected the page is because it has a long history of multiple IPs adding false information. You are right, though, it shouldn't be used as a pre-emptive measure. I'll remove it. Nikki311 20:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
LAX and I will inform the project when we completely finish. As for your comments, I'll discuss it with LAX. Thanks! iMatthew T.C. 20:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC) 22:31, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- If those suspensions we're around SummerSlam, discuss it with LAX, as he wrote that section. iMatthew T.C. 14:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
I thought CC made an account, and messaged you right away. Argg, if only there was a way to stop it. May I ask, what does he claim that you framed him for? iMatthew T.C. 19:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
We'll see, thanks for the suggestions. iMatthew T.C. 20:22, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
2008 Manhattan construction crane collapse
Thanks for starting the related article for May 2008 Manhattan construction crane collapse as well. In the future, do you think perhaps this would be an article instead of an ambiguous page? After the investigations, there might be enough information that it might be. Regards!--Hourick (talk) 13:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I totally agree, but I was refering to a few months from now. These investigations take forever, turns out some law just took place removing inspectors from the site during assembly. that is from CNN but I'm waiting for another news source and I'll just take this over to the talk page on the article. --Hourick (talk) 16:11, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

O.K, I'm going to start it soon if you want to lend a hand here and there it will be found under User: Steelerfan-94/PWO. Also Gavyn said that you might still have the pic of Shad holding a peace of paper with your name on it do you still have it :)? ZACH 15:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
RE:Struggle
Yeah, I can see how that's hard for you. However, I didn't know him very well, so I can definitively say I WANT HIM BANNED. He personally screwed both bulletproof and I over with his antics. We were trying to do the right thing with Hornetman, he pulled his crap, and both of us came out of it looking like fools. I feel nothing for him or what he's done for the encyclopedia. His antics are unacceptable. If he escapes this without a block, he should retire anyway. The Hybrid 09:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Yep, and I think I know who it is. I will keep my mouth shut for now, I won't even give my suspicions out through email, but if it is who I think it is things will get very ugly very quickly. Get your game face on mi hermano. There is an angry Hybrid on the loose for the first time in months. The Hybrid 09:18, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- *sigh* - Alison ❤ 09:23, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- Guys let Alison handle this. The more we speculate, quite frankly, the more like jackasses we'll end up looking like once all this has been resolved. Just calm down and let her do her thing. It's what is best right now. --UnquestionableTruth-- 09:29, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
And... I'm back under control. Anyways, JB's back? Damn, what timing. *Sigh*, I guess it's time to come out of my sock-catching retirement. Starting tomorrow I'll start patrolling again, like I used to back in the good ol' days ;). Keep me posted. Cheers, The Hybrid 21:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

- Yes, I remember you from Wikipedia:Wikiproject Formula One, and I also remember you being the first person to award me a barnstar, back in April last year (that's about a year and a month ago!). I wish you the best of luck with the RfA & I'm sure I'll come across it, as I'm round that area of the site a lot. Just one thing; if you do get negative comments from people who participate, don't take them to heart - see them as advice to help you keep improving. :-) I wish you the very best of luck with it.

Not sure either way. But that user has been recently active, while the other user has not been. iMatthew T.C. 21:25, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Glad you are back.
Howe did your exams go?
I think we were going to look at CSDs. The best way is to go choose a few and decide how you would deal with them and then make a note of the diffs and your views. I'll be able to see them if they are deleted- Spartaz Humbug! 21:02, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
