[edit] SummerSlam (2007)

Self-nominator - I'm nominating this article for featured article because I have worked hard on getting it to GA status and I feel that it meets the FA criteria. It's well-written, has a reasonable size lead, stays focused throughout the article, and is very well sourced. With that being said, I feel the article is as good as it'll ever be and that it cannot get much better over time (although I am probably just over exaggerating). Anyway, I hope this becomes WP:PW's next pay-per-view article to become a Featured Article. –LAX 10:42, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

• What makes the following sites reliable?
  • http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/
    • This site, as well as wrestleview, 411mania, onlineworldofwrestling, and hoffco-inc, is reliable because it is not a "dirtsheet" website according to WP:PW. These sites give TV show and PPV results, title histories, and other things pro wrestling. –LAX 18:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC) For this site, they do fact checking and mention the sources they use. –LAX 22:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
  • http://www.wrestleview.com/
    • Addressed above
  • http://www.411mania.com/
    • Addressed above According to this, 411mania.com has a staff of writers, meaning that they don't accept just anything. –LAX 22:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
  • http://www.lordsofpain.net/
    • I too thought that lordsofpain was not a reliable source, but User:D.M.N. said otherwise. Plus, this website is used in many other pro wrestling articles. [1] –LAX 18:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
  • http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/index.php
    • Addressed above OWW is a reliable source because they have official researchers and credit sources and won't post something that is inaccurate or full of errors. –LAX 22:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
  • http://www.hoffco-inc.com/wwe/ppv/ppv/sum07.html
    • Addressed above

Otherwise the links check out with the link checker tool Ealdgyth - Talk 15:02, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

On the sites above, to determine the reliablity of the site, we need to know what sort of fact checking they do. You can establish this by showing news articles that say the site is reliable/noteworthy/etc. or you can show a page on the site that gives their rules for submissions/etc. or you can show they are backed by a media company/university/institute, or you can show that the website gives its sources and methods, or there are some other ways that would work too. It's their reputation for reliability that needs to be demonstrated. It is all based on WP:V, WP:RS and WP:SELFPUB. Some of these look like self-published sites, after digging around them.

• Comment: It's quite strong, and its obvious a lot of good effort has gone into the page. Once the issues above have been resolved I'm willing to support. I have some minor ce concerns that I can look after myself. Ceoil (talk) 07:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
• Comment: Image:Kane Entrance.jpg needs to be repositioned. Left-aligned images should not be placed under level 2 (===) headers per WP:MOS#Images. I would have corrected it myself, but image arrangement appears deliberate; I'll leave the placement up to the article's author(s). ЭLСОВВОLД _talk 14:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
