OK, normally I don't do this, but...
Normally when a user retires I don't raise any sort of fuss no matter how close to them I was, but I really want to know what happened with iMatthew. He was a great guy, and it really bugs me that he would leave with bad feelings towards the Wiki. Could you fill me in, please? Cheers, SexySeaBass 05:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the welcome back, and I replied via email. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:14, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Um, I want to but I can't. My computer freezes when I use IM. That's why my responses take "time". -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Its nothing personal, is just my computer is acting hella retarted. I think I got a virus or something. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. Do you know a good firewall program? Um, sure. What is it? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:23, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. Would I get credit if I help in the "real" GA review? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Awesome. Does the Vengeance info. be included in the Aftermath? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:36, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Will do. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:41, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Replied via e-mail. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 19:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Do you want me to add anything involving Chris Benoit? Since, he was drafted to ECW and stuff. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just wanted to get your approval on it. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
LAX, since you seem to be the de facto leader of the Kliq, I think that you and I need to have a talk. If you could email me an exhaustive explanation of your side, as iMatthew has emailed me one of his, then I would appreciate it. The Kliq is unofficial, so if we have users retiring over membership within it, then MfD may be justified. SexySeaBass 22:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I of all people can understand controversial actions being nothing personal. However, this group shouldn't be such a big deal to the members within it. I think that it was wrong of Matt to take things so seriously, as it really isn't a big deal. However, I also think that it's wrong to have the group voting to kick members out for any reason. That creates bad blood within the community, which is unacceptable for such a coalition. Your group is a less official equivalent of a project task force. Membership should have no strings attached. There should be no standards for admittance, and no grounds for dismissal other than inactivity. I feel like a dick for this, but if users are going to retire over this, then I'll have to take this to MfD. Cheers, SexySeaBass 00:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I think that's absolutely wonderful. Thanks for agreeing to take care of this, LAX. I have to say, you really are a great editor. It isn't often I feel compelled to praise someone like this, but you have really impressed me. I'm glad we could sort this out peacefully. Cheers, SexySeaBass 22:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Matt
So why did Matt quit? Kevin did because he was tired right? CrymeTyme-94 01:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- He quit, because of personal reasons with The Kliq and LAX. RkORToN 01:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Question
Hey LAX, if you go here you can see my third archive, but on the top you will see "←Jump to Archive II Archive 3 Jump to Archive IV →". Its annoying me that when I click on Jump to Archive IV, its always a red link, but I MADE the fourth archive if you see, can you please help? RkORToN 19:28, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- See here (Image of it) and you see, when you click on the red link its going into edit mode on that archive, because it still thinks its not made, this is pissing me off. Do you know how to fix it? RkORToN 19:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ok. RkORToN 19:39, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm about to log in. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
No i think its a brillant idea and my friends and buddys think so as well therfore im starting an opinon section on all wweandtna ppvs172.143.137.214 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- I knew you were going to say that :) But only for today and sunday, sorry. RkORToN 15:16, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry man, I know you want me back, but life goes on :( RkORToN 15:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- No not right now, does it need to be said in private? CrymeTyme-94 17:52, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- To do that go to my pref right? and do I type in "http://"? -- CrymeTyme-94 18:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: SummerSlam (2007)
Very nice. Background section is well written, Event section is in past tense, Aftermath section is well sourced, and the rest of the article is well formatted. It's got my stamp of approval!-- bulletproof 3:16 21:27, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
-
- Absolutely, although I won't be able to contribute much for these next few days. I'm still trying to finish some business elsewhere. I'll notify you when I'm ready. BTW, did you get a chance to see WM XXIV? -- bulletproof 3:16 22:12, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
What happen to Kliq? RkORToN 22:17, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
-
-
- Oh yeah the event was incredible. Orlando, not so much. It was so hot and humid there. There wasn't a minute we weren't sweating. -- bulletproof 3:16 22:44, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah I was all over the place. Like I told D.M.N, I'm looking over all of them right now trying to decide which to upload. I'll have most of them on my Photobucket account later though. -- bulletproof 3:16 22:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Gone gone, WrestleMania was awesome, am good I didnt go thought. ^^^^^Hot and humid. Oh yea and that pyro accident. RkORToN 00:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
- No but my seat was on the same east end of the stadium. We didn't find out about the accident until we got back home and saw it on the news. Funny thing though is that when the show was over and we were exiting the stadium we saw a long portion of the pyro cable that had snapped and caused the accident lying on the floor next to the exit tunnel between section 208 and 209. Take a look at the seating chart here. My section was 208 and the accident happened around section 314. The cables were hooked onto the stadium's southeast and southwest white lighting structures above the upper decks seen in this image (Just to help with orientation, the open end of the stadium where the set was at is the north end). The cables were hooked onto those structures and linked to the set. As you saw on PPV, the pyro was supposed to shoot down to the set during The Undertaker's celebration but one of the cables on the southeast structure snapped as the pyro was shooting down and hit the section below the structure (314) instead. Thankfully however, the injuries were minor and the accident wasn't as serious as first portrayed.-- bulletproof 3:16 01:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I need a favour....

Re:WrestleMania 23
I will be citing the article when I have time (likely near the beginning of next month when my semester is done and I'm less busy). I posted a notice on WT:PW, but I guess you didn't see it. :) But yeah, I'll get to it, but it will take me some time. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 01:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Of course. :) As long as I do, lol. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 02:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
RE: Sources
You can read and copy my responses from Triple H's FAC. I'd also add to OWOW that they have official researchers. They also credit sources and won't post something that isn't accurate or full of errors.
As for the other websites, just search through them. You have to find where it says that they have staff members, fact checkers, etc. etc.
I thought I may have time to do it myself tonight, but I just don't. I hope this helps, because I feel bad that I can't help you more. Nikki311 02:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey LAX, I'm Back temporarily until my GANs are reviewed and until I get some type of reply for a GAN i reviewed, so basically I'm semi-retired as I am not here like used to be, I log in like once a day, and do minor edits. Cheers, 3L VaK3r0 02:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I think those might help. For 411, it at least proves that they have a staff of writers, so they aren't just accepting anything. For Pro Wrestling History, it proves that there is fact checking and mentions sources used. There's not really more you can do, but try and argue that. Nikki311 22:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, what are your thoughts on this comment left at my talk page? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I just wanted to know. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:36, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. I just wanted to know if it was a threat/attack.... something. Hey, how's SummerSlam doing in? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'll try to help, but IDK if it will be much, though. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hit me. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately it probably isn't that reliable. I'll try and find alternative sourcing. For the time being, I need you to get your mop back out. D.M.N. (talk) 16:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, hold on. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:56, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

- To delist or not to delist, that is the question
So you’ve found an article that, on the face of it, does not merit its good article status. What next? Especially where there are many glaring issues that need addressing, it’s tempting to just revoke its GA status and remove it from the list, but although we are encouraged as editors to be bold, this approach (known to some as "bold delisting") is not recommended good practice. There are many reasons why a listed article might not meet the assessment criteria—it’s always possible that it never did, and was passed in error, but more likely the criteria have changed or the article quality has degraded since its original assessment. Either way, we should treat its reassessment with no less tact and patience than we would a fresh nomination.
This, in fact, provides a good starting point for the delisting process. Approach the article as though it has been nominated for GA review. Read it and the GA criteria carefully, and provide a full reassessment on the article talk page. Explain where and why the article no longer meets the criteria, and suggest remedies.
Having explained why the article no longer meets current GA criteria, allow its editors time to fix it! In keeping with the above approach, it may help to treat the article as on hold. There is no need to tag it as such, but give editors a reasonable deadline, and consider helping out with the repair work. Bear in mind that more flexibility may be required than for a normal hold—the editors did not request or expect your reassessment and will probably have other projects taking up their time. They may not have worked on the article for months or even years, and at worst the article may have been abandoned and its authors no longer active. As always, communication is the key. It sometimes helps to post messages to relevant WikiProjects (found at the top of the article talk page), or to contact editors directly (this tool is useful for identifying active editors for any given article).
Only once the above process has run its course, and sufficient improvement has not been forthcoming, is it time to think about delisting the article. Communicate your final decision on the article talk page, even if there was no response to your reassessment and hold, and take the time to fill in the various edit summaries on the article talk and GA list pages to ensure the delisting is transparent and trackable. If you have any doubts about your final decision, you can list the article at Good article reassessment or contact one of the GA mentors, who will be happy to advise.
Article reassessment is perhaps the single most controversial function of our WikiProject, and the one with the most potential to upset and alienate editors. Yet it is one of the most necessary too, since without the ability to revoke an article’s status we would be unable to maintain quality within the project. However, if we approach reassessment sensitively and with the goal of improving articles to the point where sanctions are unnecessary, we will ensure that delisting is the last resort, not the first.
- From the Editors
As we near the 4,000 Good Articles milestone, the project continues to grow and to gain respect in the Wikipedia community. Nevertheless, we continue to have a large backlog. If every member of WikiProject Good Articles would review just one article each day during the month of April, the backlog would be eliminated!

The Barnstar of Peace |
I would like to thank you for your kind words when I retired. It is because of the efforts made by you and a few others that I have returned. I award you this barnstar for keeping the peace together, and for helping bring me back! iMatthew 2008 19:57, 8 April 2008 (UTC) |
Just wanted to let you know that I reported the user for repeated vandalism to WWE Films and the IP has been blocked for one month, so hopefully things will calm down on that article. Best wishes, GaryColemanFan (talk) 01:57, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

- True, but I didn't want you to think that I just copy and paste. ;) Hey, are we still working on the '07 PPV's? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Wait, I thought we were working on No Mercy. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- I guess Cyber Sunday. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- No, I don't mind. The more help, the more time we get to finish this. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:27, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. Hey, I was reading through Survivor Series '07 and it seems that its not complete. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- In the Orton and Shawn feud, its missing the fact about the stipulation of Sweet Chin Music and the disqualification. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Nope. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikibreak
Just noticed the note on your talkpage. Are you just taking a break to "get away from Wiki", or is due to Real Life issues? D.M.N. (talk) 20:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Return
Eh, I cant keep of Wiki, but I returned. Keep in mind April Break, I will really try to take a WikiBreak, anyways PM me if you need anything. RkORToN 01:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
- By the way, I'm glad we got past that incident. To show the anger that I had at first, I'd like to give you this:
LOL! Glad we're friends! iMatthew 2008 20:15, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- First part of the event done. iMatthew 2008 23:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Finished the last part of the event. iMatthew 2008 00:25, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
I'll finish the aftermath review tomorrow. Sure, I'll get to No Way Out, but wasn't there another PPV you wanted me to review first? iMatthew 2008 01:24, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ok. I'll try to get to it tomorrow. Also, what do you think of changing the colors of WP:PW to light blue? iMatthew 2008 01:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- The gold is really started to get boring. I think that if we change it, we would all get used to it. I might test it out in a sandbox. iMatthew 2008 01:30, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:PW Newsletter
Hello! I see that you have a newsletter interview scheduled for a future edition of the newsletter. Due to the fact that we have started the Editor of the week, we will stop the interviews. The EOTW will be interviewed instead. To be fair, you have one week to answer the questions in your interview, as all of the interviews will go out in next week's newsletter. Cheers! iMatthew 2008 16:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
- Can we talk on Yahoo IM? iMatthew 2008 19:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey
I decided to come back full time, but I think I will never again do a PPV.--~SRS~ 21:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ditto! (about the PPV). For now, I'll stick to giving reviews. iMatthew 2008 21:56, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Too much work and stress for me. I'll do like Matt probably, just reviews. Mayby a PPV every here and then.--~SRS~ 22:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yea, but I'll be reverting vandalism, adding info to WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 and probably creating the 2008 WWE Draft.--~SRS~ 22:09, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks.--~SRS~ 22:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about SummerSlam. :( -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:17, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, it sucks though. SummerSlam is written well and I don't know why the sources are the problem. But, if you find new ones and stuff, I guess it'll pass. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, I guess. About SummerSlam. It looks good, very "purple... ish". ;) Hey, are you not going to wish me a Happy B-Day? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the B-Day wishes, I really appreciate it. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Either Gary or D.M.N. How 'bout you? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- You show-off. ;) Oh, totally forgot about Nikki. Here's my 5: 1.Gary, 2.Nikki, 3.DMN, 4. Matt and 5.... you. How 'bout yours? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- You will always be number 1 on my book. ;) Anyways, you included me in your list? I feel so honored. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Your welcome. Oh, well sorry. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I didn't check all the times, but I think LifeStroke is in violation of 3RR on WrestleMania XXIV. Do you have time to check? I'm signing off now, so I don't have time to check or fill out a section on the 3RR page. I did notice: LifeStroke's has 6 edits involving the match since 04:43 on April 13. If I have the policy right, he's been beyond 3RR for a few edits. RobJ1981 (talk) 04:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Nevermind. I filled it out, but I'm not sure if I did it right. He was at 7 reverts if I counted right (even if I messed up the number, it was over 4 reverts in a 24-hour period). RobJ1981 (talk) 05:43, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Do you even pay attention to your reverts? Here, you include the name. Then, you tell him to look again, once again adding it. Now, you're once again telling us to look again, only this time removing it.] What's the deal here? Mshake3 (talk) 00:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
List of WWE Cruiserweight Champions...wanna work on getting making this an FL with me. iMatthew 2008 22:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ooops! I was looking at a few of them, and copy/pasted the wrong one, I meant List of WWE Hardcore Champions. I was also looking at European, but it's an FL already. iMatthew 2008 22:16, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ok. Btw, done with the pre-GA for GAB 2007. iMatthew 2008 22:41, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

- That's weird. Anyway, thanks to you and Blue for considering me a possibility for EOTW! iMatthew 2008 22:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

- I just think a source is needed to prove that those were the people involved in the feud, if you know what I mean. iMatthew 2008 22:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
That's true, feel free to remove those comments in the background review. iMatthew 2008 22:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:ShwanSS02.jpg
Instead of templating you, I'll give you a normal message. I tagged this image as having a disputed rationale. I tagged it per WP:NFCC#1 which states that "non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose". I believe in the two examples of usage, a free image of Shawn Michaels with relevant caption would be more suitable than a non-free image. Similar things were done for featured content like the December to Dismember (2006) article, where relevant free images are used even if the photo wasn't on the day of the event.

Just a quick comment: on your userpage, you say "[you've] decided to steal this one from Tiptoety". Well, he stole his userpage from Daniel. Just thought I'd get that out there. The Chronic 02:34, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
RE:
Would you mind if I helped out with Survivor Series (2005) or would you like to work on that by yourself? Zenlax T C S 18:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Absolutely. :) Zenlax T C S 18:49, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Zenlax T C S 18:50, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Should the "You can't see me match" be included in the aftermath? Stated here Zenlax T C S 19:35, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Wanted to check first. Zenlax T C S 19:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Another note, I've been reading results and it seems that the feud between Triple H and Ric Flair ended at Survivor Series. I would like your input on what I should do. Zenlax T C S 19:51, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's my question to you, should it be said that the feud ended? Zenlax T C S 20:02, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'll do that. Zenlax T C S 20:06, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
- Though, Edge began a feud with Ric Flair and Triple H with Big Show. Zenlax T C S 20:18, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Question
Hi LAX. Could I possibly ask you a favour? You may of noticed my temper levels zoom (no pun intended!) extremely high if you look at my contributions today on Wiki! Anyway, could I ask a favour to do with Wiki. Just so you know, the favour has nothing to do with professional wrestling, actually it has something to do with my other hobby which you just shamelessly edited! :P D.M.N. (talk) 17:25, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Right. The article you edited, the 1995 Japanese Grand Prix article is a Formula One motor race which took place in 1995. I nominated it for FA, but that was failed earlier today. I've put the article up for peer review in hope to improve the article further. Could you possibly peer review it, noting whether any sentences could be reworded, possible MoS breaches, or any bits in the article which sound plain and utter confusing, or somethings which may need to go into more detail. Is that OK? Thanks. D.M.N. (talk) 17:47, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm, are you asking if you get the stuff off the GA review? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:07, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Jeez, alright you can get credit too. No need to go all Vince McMahon on me. ;) But, let's talk about the GAB '07; would I get credit if the article passes GA? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:20, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Would I get credit for reviewing these articles?? iMatthew 2008 00:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Whatever, I was just asking a question. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- No, I'm not mad at you. How could I? But, it did hurt when you said that I did nothing for the GAB. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:47, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, it sounds the same. And anyways, didn't I ask you to help out with Unforgiven '04? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:57, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, that's weird. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sure. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'll give it a shot. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:53, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- No problemo. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
- I'm done. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:55, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Can I help you?
On Backlash (2006), when Cena had Edge on his shoulders he didnt hit the FU, he dropped him out of the ring when Triple H delivered Cena a low blow and he didnt go for the cover either. I'm just saying because on Backlash on the event section for the last match right at the end what is written is not true. Cheers.- Orton80 (talk) 3:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

LAX, you write articles so well, and you deserve an award for it. Keep up the good work! iMatthew 2008 01:31, 22 April 2008 (UTC) |
- Um, sure. When, though? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:33, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- No, I was just asking. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Either, Armageddon '03, '04, or '05. You? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:41, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Both work for me. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:01, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- I WANT TO HELP! If I can. Mayby the event section? =|~SRS~ 22:04, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- You know what to do. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

- Its, cool. So, who does what? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:55, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Just like the old days. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:59, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, do you know how long a person has to complete the GA review left at the talkpage? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:09, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Seven days, huh? Alright, I'll go with that. Thanks. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:13, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- I should and I know your a reliable source, too. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, is this redirect appropriate? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:46, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's what I thought. Just wanted an opinion, thanks. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Would you like to add the GA box for Vengeance '05 to your page? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Cool, cause you did do good work with the article. ;) What article do you think we can get to GA? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- I know, that's the article I'm getting ready for. ;) IDK, do still want to work on Kennedy's article, since you did suggest it. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 20:23, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I guess working on a PPV wouldn't be that bad. Did Matt really say that about the PPV's? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:46, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- True, I guess. I give props to Nikki for writing SummerSlam '88. Anyways, how 'bout if we work on SummerSlam '04, since we did write that and stuff. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:53, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, to be fair and stuff, I was just writing the event, because I wanted to finish the article. I think the event can be cut down and stuff, right? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:57, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- I know, it was good to read, but it was way long. But yeah, we can totally work on SS. P.S. You do know that RAW should be capitalized for the refs.? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:05, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Of course, I do. ;) Just kidding. We can split the work. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, that's what Nimi did too, see here and I guess its only for the article and not the refs. But, whatever. Anyways, yeah that's cool, but you leave me with some weird matches, but that's cool. Hey, do you think you can write an awesome lead for Vengeance '06? As you did for Vengeance '05. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:23, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Ooh, nice reference. And, you ain't no dummy. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- I know, it was my "redneck" moment. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Don't be sorry, you did a great job and I really appreciate it. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:14, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you should know that I really appreciate what you do. ;) And, it's awesome that I'm cool with you. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:22, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

- Let me guess... Backlash? Um, yeah. But, you need to explain why Shawn teamed up with Triple H, for the DX stuff. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:37, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: WrestleMania XXIV
Be my guest, though I'd like to give a try at the WHC feud if you don't mind. I think all of the feuds featured could be improved quite a bit as there's some missing history (such as Undertaker/Edge's origins with last year's MitB cash-in, Cena's feud with Orton, etc.) Also, I'm not exactly keen on the list format of Money in the Bank. Thanks for the help. -- Oakster Talk 20:10, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well I haven't started so you can go ahead. It doesn't matter. -- Oakster Talk 20:25, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
- Nah, it's alright. It's all full circle, so I'm rather pleased to be honest. -- Oakster Talk 20:32, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Yup, it reads well. ;) And, what's the deal with Cimmo? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- OMG, yeah? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, sure.--~SRS~ 22:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- What was harsh? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, "him". Who cares, he don't know me and he can't see me. ;) Anyways, you happy? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:44, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- JBL? Anyways, would it be cool if I could help with Backlash or do you guys have it under control? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Somethings' wrong with you. ;) Um, alright, I'll ask him and see. JBL? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, but I haven't nominated it yet. ;) But, yeah, just like Vengeance. JBL? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but I was sick and tired of JBL being champion in '04. But, whatever. Anyways, are we working on SummerSlam '04, like we said or.... -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I totally forgot about Armageddon. I guess we will have to post-pone 'Slam and work on Armageddon. And yeah, the next time we work on a PPV, it should be in a sandbox. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:27, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that works. If/not Orton's article passes GA, then I'll nominate Unforgiven '06. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:38, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry NO. Just kidding. Of course you did, you know that. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey, did Survivor Series get a positive reaction or not? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Cool, I'll run with that. ;) Are we starting on Armageddon today? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:18, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll work on the Aftermath and I was never going to ask. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, NO. Of course not, I didn't think you would mind him helping us with Armageddon. Besides, the three of us have GA's to our names, don't we? ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:48, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, that works. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yup. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:14, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Your revert was in error
I think your revert to User:NIscroll's edit of his own user page was in error. I did NOT revert it but you might want to do so. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 15:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
When you have time
When you have time, can you copy edit the first feud (which is the only feud i've written for) Backlash (2003)?--~SRS~ 01:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Cool. Thanks.--~SRS~ 01:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Can I ask a favor? Zenlax T C S 19:10, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- I've noticed that you have been expanding the leads to PPV articles and I was wondering if you can do the same for Survivor Series (2004); would it be a problem to work out? Zenlax T C S 19:18, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you, I really do appreciate your help. :) Zenlax T C S 19:20, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, but I don't necessarily think that adding the Royal Rumble to the lead works, maybe if it were mentioned at the New Year's Revolution article. Zenlax T C S 20:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes and thank you so much for your kind help; I do really appreciate it. :) Zenlax T C S 20:15, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
- Absolutely, your work is the type of work I like seeing here in Wikipedia. Very astounding, I should say. Zenlax T C S 20:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

- Yea, but for some reason I can do event sections. Right?..lol~SRS~ 23:07, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

- GA Topic
Do you know what a GA topic is? If you are not nodding your head, or don't know what I'm talking about, then you should pay attention to this article.
There are ten GA top-level topics (but you will spot the eleventh as this article goes along). These topics are: Arts, Language and literature, Philosophy and religion, Everyday life, Social sciences and society, Geography and places, History, Engineering and technology, Mathematics, and Natural sciences. Each of these topics are further narrowed down to more specific topics. For example, Arts can be narrowed down to Art and architecture, Music, and Theatre, film and drama. But let's not get into sub-topics in this article because of its depth.
Now you will probably ask, "I already knew this, so what is your point?" What I want to illustrate is that some people often forget a step when they promote an article to GA. After they have posted their review in the article talk page, added the article name to the corresponding topic in the good article page, increased the GA count by 1, and added the {{GA}} to article talk page, many reviewers tend to forget to add the topic parameter in {{GA}} or {{ArticleHistory}}. You can browse the topic parameter abbreviations at on this page as well as what each top-level GA topic means, because sometimes it can be chaotic and confusing to pick a topic. For example, should On the Origin of Species be placed under the Natural Science topic (because it's related to evolution), or under the Language and Literature topic (because it is a book)? The correct answer is to place it under Language and literature topic, because its categorization as a proper title supercedes other categories.
Let's go back to the page that shows GA topics; does anyone spot the eleventh topic? Yes, Category:Uncategorized good articles is the 11th topic, only it shouldn't be there. Articles that do not have a topic parameter in either {{GA}} or {{ArticleHistory}} will be placed in this category. The topic "Uncategorized" is not very informative, is it? So if you have time, you can consider cleaning up the articles that are left in this category and move them to the appropriate category by adding a topic parameter.
That's it for this month, I hope you learned a little from it.
- GA Sweeps Update
The GA Sweeps process is progressing nicely! During the month of April, a total of 26 articles were reviewed. Of that total, 15 were found to continue to meet the GA criteria, and two were delisted. There are currently six articles that are still on hold in this process, awaiting revisions. One article was exempted from review because it was promoted to FA. Two articles were exempted from review because they were already delisted by another member in the community.
We are once again recruiting new sweeps participants. Candidates should be very strong and comfortable in reviewing GA and familiar with the GA processes and criteria. If you are interested, please contact OhanaUnited for details.
- Did You Know...
- ...that there are slightly less than twice as many Good Articles as Featured Articles?
- ...that the total number of Good Articles and Featured Articles combined is 6,085?
- ...that different languages have different symbols representing GA? (Alemannic uses , Bavarian uses , Czech and French use , Estonian, Icelandic, and Swedish use , Esperanto and German use , Polish, Spanish, and Turkish use , Portuguese uses , Russian uses , Ukrainian uses )
Note: Lithuanian and Serbian have their own symbol but only uploaded locally. Other languages not listed above either have the same symbol as english or they don't have GA process.
- From the Editors
There is currently a debate on adding a small green dot to the top right corner of all Good Articles that pass the criteria, similar to the small bronze star that is added to the top right corner of Featured Articles. Members of WikiProject Good Articles are encouraged to participate in the debate on this page.
Please leave any comments or feedback regarding this issue here.

Question!
On the event section for Backlash (2006) it says that John Cena delivered Edge an FU. That's incorrect because when Cena had Edge on his shoulders for an FU, Triple H delivered Cena a low blow, which made Cena drop Edge out of the ring. Just letting you know because its telling a lie and I'm teling the truth. Cheers.- Cimmo (talk) 5:34, 24 May (UTC)
New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, but after the peer review, and after The APA or Over the Edge (1999) is reviewed first, why you ask?--~SRS~ 19:23, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- You know, I still dont see why SummerSlam failed its FAC, IMO, its fairly written better than December to Dismember (2006).--~SRS~ 19:35, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- I will try by next weekend, if thats ok? Or do you need it sooner? Oh, what sources were unreliable?~SRS~ 19:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Oh yea Im still in. I read it, so CompleteWWE.com is not reliable?, and neither is WrestleView?~SRS~ 19:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- What does that mean?~SRS~ 19:59, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- So this and this isn't good enough?--~SRS~ 20:13, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ok I informed her, mayby this time we'll be lucky. Because you put alot of effort in this article, and deserves to be an FA. Haha, I still remember when you asked me 2 review the event section, and you asked me whether it was cut down good;good 'ol days. =D~SRS~ 20:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
-
- Yep, I believe we can do the same to Armageddon, with your background writing skills, with my event writing skills, and Blues aftermath writing skills, we will have a new FA..XD~SRS~ 20:34, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- I wonder why people are so hard on this project when it comes to PPV FAC's?~SRS~ 20:39, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I've been busy and stuff. But, tomorrow I'll start on something for the Aftermath. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, me and Blue are working on improving WWE SmackDown! (video game series) and making it similar to List of Harvest Moon titles (which is a current FLC). User:Truco-X/Sandbox 2|Does it look good so far?]], P.S. This is just the table, not the whole thing. Note:Under the title, a image of the gamecover will go there.--~SRS~ 01:48, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- I wanted to do a variation, since the image will go under the title. {{{1}}}--~SRS~ 01:54, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Judgment Day (2008)
Where does it say that HBK vs. Jericho is for the IC title? I can't seem to find it on WWE.com, it just says that he is the champion. -GuffasBorgz7- 10:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Yes they do seem to make it very confusing. I think that if it was for the IC title they would promote that quite a bit on the main page. We will have to find out in the weeks to come. -GuffasBorgz7- 10:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey
Sorry I haven't been online in so lling, I haven't been able to (see my talk page for more info). Just thought I would let you know that I have not retired from Wikipedia and don't plan to. If anybody asks, just tell them to check my talkpage. Thanks. TJ Spyke 19:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Alright, thanks. Hmm, this is puzzling. I'd better think this over for a while, lest I do something stupid... again 0.o --Cheers, SexySeaBass TheOriginal 01:45, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
