[edit] Cyber Sunday
Thanks for allowing the aftermath I put into Cyber Sunday stay. As of yet, it's perhaps the best contribution I've made.--Lord Dagon (talk) 17:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Guestbook
Hey Gavyn will you please sighn my new guestbook that Truco made for me, he adopted me so now I will get better at editing on Wiki thanks. Steelerfan-94 (talk) 00:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC).
[edit] CM Punk movese
Considering Punk's drastically different moveset between the indies and WWE I have tried to accomodate it without the need for excessive dates. See here: CM Punk#In wrestling –– Lid(Talk) 03:11, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mr. Kennedy
([[Hey Gavyn i know it's not much but kennedy said he calls the leg hook reverse STO the Green Bay Bullet. I talked to him backstage a month ago. Plus, kennedy never did just a snap DDT he did it to an opponent who was on their knees which he called the Wisconsin Spiker. Watch old episodes of Smackdown and you'll see what i mean. So please leave my edits there. Thank You]]) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macterminator138 (talk • contribs) 20:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] About the Ron Killings pag
I'm fairly new with using a wiki account so I'm not sure if this was the correct way to contact you but I just wanted to ask why did you undo the changes I made in the "Ron Killings" page? It's a fact that's all over the wrestling world all over wrestling sites that Ron Killings has signed a contract with the WWE. Just wondering, Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuruptedhead (talk • contribs) 08:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ric Flair Article
I would like to know why you deleted my post (about a month ago) on the Ric Flair Article( When Flair faced MVP at Royal Rumble 2008). It was 100% relevant. I was told that it was deleted because it was not a 'notable' match, and yet I checked the article today and someone had added the exact same info (as I had) to the Ric Flair article and it has not been deleted. Why?????????? Thanks Jon56WWE
[edit] Re:PCE
No problem, man. I too have been removing his edits from the past, the edit on Kane's page, to me, didn't make any sense whatsoever. Question: Is this really needed for Mr. Kennedy's article? ----> His gimmick is of a cocky young cheesehead who loves to brag about his accomplishments, often being "less than truthful" in his statements. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:51, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

The RickK Anti-Vandalism Barnstar In appreciation of your excellent vandal-fighting. Keep it up, Gavyn. P.S. I'll remove the "comment" of Kennedy's page. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. P.S. That edit to WrestleMania 23, hilarious. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:40, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- Nice, I'll probably use that when I have "my moments". But, that was awesome. ;) Are you working on any PPV's or... -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
- That's cool. IMO, a WrestleMania article would be hard to work on, but I give you props for working on it. ;) I was actually thinking if you wanted to work on a PPV, but I'm pretty sure that you'd like to stick to removing vandalism from articles. P.S. Good job fixing the links to the PPV's. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll keep my fingers crossed so WM23 becomes a GA. I mean, it did work for No Way Out '04. ;) P.S. Would you like to sign autograph book? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] alright thanks
I understand, thanks for the explanation. Appreciate it! :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuruptedhead (talk • contribs) 04:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re:Wikilinks
As far as I know, you are correct except for the Matches section for PPV's. Hence why Elimination Chamber is linked twice! -GuffasBorgz7- 23:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No Way Out (2008)
- Sure I dont mind. I did up to the Show/Mayweather confrontation. You can write the rest if you want.--TrUCo9311 22:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- When I said "rest", I meant the rest of the event section, as I wrote more than half of it. So you still can write the WWE title match and the RAW EC match. --TrUCo9311 22:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well I did complete the 2007 WWE Draft and after Im done expanding NWO, I would like to work on the WWE Brand Extension, by making it into a draft article like the 2007 one.--TrUCo9311 22:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oh well I guess someone else wrote it. You can still try to trim the RAW elimination chamber a bit, its kinda too long. Oh for the drafts, I haven't watched WWE for that long either and I just learn from the sources and the brand extension will have a bunch and a hell of alot of sources.TrUCo9311 22:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ashley Massaro
Hello Gavyn Sykes. I just want to start out by saying that I respect you as an editor here on Wikipedia more than I do a lot of other editors. I actually feel like we have a similar editing style and share the same opinions on most topics, which is pretty cool to see. That being said however, I disagree with your revert of my edit to the Ashley Massaro article. Rather than getting into a disruptive edit war, I would like to discuss this issue with you so either one of us can get some more insight on the matter.
I know that for some time now in WWE Ashley has not been referred to as 'Ashley Massaro', but having both names listed under her ring name section doesn't make sense to me. It isn't a separate ring name like Johnny Nitro and John Morrison, but rather it is a shorter version of the same name. I guess it could be considered simply a changed name. I think a good compromise would be to write in the opening sentence of the lead section "Ashley Marie Massaro (born May 26, 1979), better known simply as Ashley, is an…" but I would like your opinion and views on this rather than just add the information immediately.
Thank you for reading and I hope to hear back from you. - Deep Shadow 21:18, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'm not 100% clear about the Manual of Style myself, but Nikki311 made this edit to the Lisa Marie Varon article in regards to partial boldface, citing MOS:BOLD as the reason for reverting. I'm not too sure if this is the same situation but I thought I would mention it anyway. - Deep Shadow 14:18, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rollback
Hello Gavyn Sykes, I have granted rollback rights for your account. The reason for this is that you are an effective vandal-fighter, and know the difference between a good-faith edit and vandalism. I know that you will not abuse rollback. If you don't want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck. --LAX 01:11, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. :) Will do since I've never had a problem with you either. --LAX 01:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WM 24 matches
I wasn't aware of the consensus about adding matches, sorry. I thought the US broadcasts had precedence. ArcAngel (talk) 15:28, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Re: When to add Matches
A broadcast of SmackDown in Australia s a reliable enough source to add matches. You cannot remove matches that have a reliable source, period. Consensus has changed. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 15:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Links
I got a job for you. Are you interested? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:29, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Can you add any links that are necessary to the Event for SummerSlam (2004)? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, Gavyn. I really appreciate it. ;) If you want another job, just let me know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Alrighthy, then. ;) Do you mind going over Vengeance (2005) and see if everything is in place, (meaning the links and stuff), if you still have your Saturday free time. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yup, I'll get to it then. There's a confusing statement in the Summerslam article though: On the August 26 edition of SmackDown!, Orlando Jordan, who was representing JBL, met Undertaker in a WWE Championship match, in which Undertaker won after interference from JBL, which resulted in JBL retaining the title." How did JBL retain his title in a match he wasn't involved in? Gavyn Sykes (talk) 16:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks and Orlando replaced or substituted for JBL, cause JBL was "injured" and apparently 'Taker was almost about to win the title, but JBL interfered in the match, which 'Taker won the match, but JBL retained. It says here. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 17:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, sarcasm or Sure, thanks? That's the question. ;) Are you still bored? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey
Hey Gavyn how are you?--TrUCo9311 19:46, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thats good. Im good too. Have you ever considered adminship?--TrUCo9311 19:55, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well when sourcing from the internet, you need to use the citeweb template. So lets say you want to source this.. "John Cena defeated Shawn Michaels to retain the WWE Championship".
1)"John Cena defeated Shawn Michaels to retain the WWE Championship." Lets say you used WWE.com to source it,
-
- "John Cena defeated Shawn Michaels to retain the WWE Championship." <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wwe.com|accessdate=2008-03-01|title=WWE Homepage|last=McMahon|first=Vince|publisher=World Wrestling Entertainment|date=2008-03-01}}</ref>
This is what you would put to source it.
- URl=well the url
- title=The title of the article, you have to put the real title, if there is none, put a general title.
- last=The author's last name, most articles have the authors name, so you will put their last name here.
- first=The author's first name, same principles as the last name apply.
- accessdate=The day you got the article, so the date you found it, and then you would write in this format "2008-03-01". (YYYY-MM-DD)
- publisher=The company that published the article, so an article from WWE.com was published by World Wrestling Entertainment
- date=The date the article was published.
Note:Not all of this information will be available, so try to fill in as much as you can.
2)"John Cena defeated Shawn Michaels to retain the WWE Championship."[1]
That is how it would look and down here is how it would appear...TrUCo9311 20:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Backlash
I am sorry. But you must realize that IT IS WWE'S PAY PER VIEW!!! No on esles so we must keep with wwe.com. They have the most accurate info.
- That has no correlation. Video games are based on other things. WWE's pay per view ISN'T.
- We should try to get Backlash 2008 protected. The unregistered users are messing it up again.
[edit] Spoilers
Fair enough. That is basically what I meant. It has no reliable source. I will be more clear next time. -GuffasBorgz7- 04:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WrestleMania 23
Recently, I have been improving WrestleMania 23 and while doing so, I have noticed that there are many places missing a citation where one should be placed. And since you, as well as D.M.N., are the ones who expanded it, I was wondering if you two were ever planning on filling in those missing citations? If not, I would be more welcome to do that the best I can. Regards, –LAX 01:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, just wanted to know. BTW, if it does pass GAN in the future, will I get credit for getting it to GA status? [1] –LAX 02:05, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
