A few Announcements
Cross posted to all Kliq members
- As you may or may not have noticed on The Kliq's talk page, I have added two temporary sections. In "Last Minute Nominations," you are free to add any pay-per-view nominations that you have recently thought of or forgot about earlier. If you have any, please add them. If you do not, please just write none, in that section, so we know that you've seen it at least. Also, in "Bring 'Em Backs," you can choose one pay-per-view that has been voted out, and bring it back into the running. All you have to do it choose the pay-per-view and add it to the "Bring 'Em Backs" section. If you would not like to bring back any pay-per-view, please again, write none, so we know you've seen it. Cheers! iMatthew 2008 22:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- I would create the first one. As for the Hardcore title, everything look great. I can see nothing wrong with it. --Cheers, LAX 22:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, I would. Even though that's not really my forte either, I'll fix anything that I can see. --Cheers, LAX 22:51, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. --Cheers, LAX 23:01, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd say nominate it. --Cheers, LAX 00:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- I would wait. And, sorry for not help you two out. --Cheers, LAX 01:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- I know, but I really wanted to display the box. : ( --Cheers, LAX 01:04, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll do anything I can. What list would you want to work on next. --Cheers, LAX 01:09, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I totally forgot about that. I would love to help you work on that. --Cheers, LAX 01:12, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

"Last Minute Nominations" and "Bring 'Em Backs" have closed. Please go back to the Kliq page and vote for the next round. P.S. I heard Batista was removed from the roster page, and was released. iMatthew 2008 18:45, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

"Not a forum"
You've been using that statement a lot, and incorrectly sometimes too. First it was in a topic about the Cruiserweight Championship in WT:PW and the second time was in a topic about Beverly Mullins and Beulah McGillicutty in Talk:World Wrestling Entertainment roster. The guy was asking a legitimate concern about the article's truthfulness of listing Beulah as contracted; this has been a doubt expressed by many other editors. Try to be more flexible next time :-D Cheers, Alex T/C Guest Book 00:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
2007 WWE Draft
If you think the page was unfairly failed (which is what you seem to be insinuating) why don't you renominate it?
You claim I only enforce the vote stacking rules "during the 2007 WWE Draft FLC nomination". What makes you say this? I've never seen you involved in any FLC noms except your own, so how would you know? For your information, I have given the same lecture to quite a few users. By the way, you seem to forget that in that particular nom you were also chastised by Colin so don't say things like "he came up with this "rule"" unless you know what you`re talking about. -- Scorpion0422 05:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey Truco! Can you go vote at The Kliq's talk page? Cheers! iMatthew 2008 16:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

- Lol. iMatthew 2008 18:24, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- I was thinking about that the other day; can you please do it for me? You do not have to give me credit for the article if you don't want, I don't really mind. I'm just terribly sorry for not doing it like I said. : ( --Cheers, LAX 18:42, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, okay. Are you still working on the Hardcore list? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:36, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, yeah, about that. Um, some of the "winners" don't show up in any of the results. See here and compare the list winners in the Hardcore list. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:45, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- There not mention there either. For example Goldust, I couldn't find anything on that. The date, April 19, 2002. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, but I'll check. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Since the last newsletter, the number of stub articles has dropped by 45 while the total number of wrestling articles continues to grow. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve. Please check it out and see what you can help with (even if you can only add a few details or a couple of references).

WP:PW advert
I saw your post on WP:PW about a project ad. And since there's no reply since my offer, I might as well bring it up to you that I would like to make the project ad. Is there anything in particular you'd like to have in it? -- Oakster Talk 07:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sure I'll be able to get one up by this weekend. Thanks for the details. -- Oakster Talk 23:19, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Looks good so far. One thing that I don't like, however, is when you use the dates like: 23 February 2003. To me, that doesn't sound or look right; however, I know that it is perfectly fine to write like that. –Cheers, LAX 23:23, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'm talking about how you write the day before the month when writing the dates. –Cheers, LAX 23:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, for some reason it, as it is in every PPV article now, appears with the day first. I wonder why? O_o –Cheers, LAX 00:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Same with the sig dates. –Cheers, LAX 00:22, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

- That sucks. :( Why does the guy want more "opinions"? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- We should stay positive. ;) Who knows, after we're done with NWO, it can probably become a future GA. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: WP:PW advert
I've got the main jist of the banner worked out now, I'm just working on making it a tad bit fancier. I could do with some help though. Seeing as we have a lot of free images hanging around, I'm thinking of adding some pictures to your captions. The only restriction is that they shouldn't be obstructed by any ropes. Any suggestions?
Also, I'll let you know that it will feature the PW barnstar at the end as well as this image as it's perfect for animation. -- Oakster Talk 17:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

I have created a new layout for The Kliq's pages. I took the "Projects," "Member Interviews," and "Awards" sections and created their own individual sub-pages. The links are located in the navigation bar. The layout has been added to all of the Kliq's sub-pages, as well as the mainpage. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to bring them up at The Kliq's talk page. iMatthew 2008 01:34, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

- I'd be more than happy to help, just tell me what needs to be sourced. –Cheers, LAX 00:32, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- IMO, there should be at least two. I'll go looking for some. BTW, when did you start expanding SummerSlam (2000)? –Cheers, LAX 00:42, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. Just asking. If SummerSlam '01 is eliminated from our "group project," I am planning on expanding it (if that's okay with you). –Cheers, LAX 01:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- I have no problem with you helping, as long as I can do the background. ;) BTW, would you be interested in joining the Pro Wrestling Wikia (where Matt, Blue, and I are all members). –Cheers, LAX 02:23, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Associated content
This site pays anyone to write articles on any subject. The writers are paid by the numbers of visits their stories receive. Thus it qualifies as both self-published and spam, as they have clear economic reasons to create these links. Stealthound (talk) 15:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't taken the time to learn how to do that. If you would create the archive, that would be great. Stealthound (talk) 16:05, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

You may or may not have seen Joe ferst in the talk page for the WWE roster but i went to say i'm sorry for acting like a dick to him and i said i would create him a userpage so he was happy about that i guess he did not know how to do one but what i'm geting at is should he be adopted?

STORMTRACKER 94 Go Irish! 22:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
- Truco, I'm sorry but Blue and I have the event. The reason there it doesn't say "one spot left," is cause two people are doing it. We do need somebody on the background or aftermath though. iMatthew 2008 02:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Since your doing the background with me, I was wondering what feuds you would like to cover? –SAVE_US.222 09:47, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure if your aware of this, but Blue is currently being considered for an admin. I nominated her this morning. iMatthew 2008 00:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

hey Im adam and im working with Steelerfan-94 on this sandbox about jack korpela and he says i shud ask u what u think of it. so here it is. User:Adster95/Sandbox —Preceding comment was added at 09:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
FLCs
I've said this many times, lack of voting is a huge problem in FLCs and is not exclusive to PW lists. If you will check the current FLC page, you will notice that over a dozen have been there well over the 10 day limit (the record is 51 days). If you need a review, ask The Rambling Man, who does take requests. If you insist on getting project members to vote, please make sure you leave room for the support of one non-project member. -- Scorpion0422 05:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- FOr the record, I never said project members can't support (it unfortunately happens all the time), I just asked that they not arbitrarily support and make sure there is enough room for comments from non-project members. -- Scorpion0422 14:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorting the sorting
Hi Kev, well the only easy way out is to remove the colspan so there's the same number of cells as in all the other rows. That'll fix it for sure... The Rambling Man (talk) 17:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Kevin, Kevin, Kevin. I know that right now, it looks like crap. What I wrote is not my "final copy." I still have to go back and remove the parts where it goes into too much detail. I do that on purpose, so that later on, I can go through it again and take out the non-notable details. It needs a lot of work right now, because that is like a "draft copy." So I will get to it later, but if you'd like to help me copy-edit it, that would be great! iMatthew 2008 15:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- I know, that would be a great help, thanks! I need to look over Matt Hardy some more before I nominate it for GA. iMatthew 2008 15:16, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve. Please check it out and see what you can help with (even if you can only add a few details or a couple of references).

Re: The A.P.A.
It looks great. The only thing I would work on is adding a source or two to the first paragraph in the lead. Btw, how do you honestly think I'm doing as an editor here on Wikipedia? Recently, I've started reviewing [[WP:GAN}good articles]], participating in WP:AfD's, and WP:RfA's, because I've seen that they want you getting involved in those things before becoming an admin. Right? iMatthew 2008 18:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Wait, I gave you the wrong impression. I don't want an RfA for a long time. I was just asking if I was working well on the road to the RfA. Thanks for the nice comments! iMatthew 2008 19:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Re: WCW Hardcore List
Awesome. ;) Great work Truco. We should work on these more often, they seem a bit easier than PPV's. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:40, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- I recommend that after we finish SS01, we take a PPV break, and work on GA, FA, and FL for a while. iMatthew 2008 23:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

APA
I definitly think it can pass GA, not FA yet but GA for sure. TJ Spyke 03:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
FINALLLY TRUCO-X IS HERE!
Moments ago, your username was successfully changed. Congratulations on it's passing this time around! Welcome Truco-X! iMatthew 2008 18:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, I'm glad you don't have to try again. And if you can find time, please review either 2007 Kansas City Chiefs season or Ottawa Senators, or just another article on the list. iMatthew 2008 19:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'll try to fix it. It was a wiki-problem today for like everyone. See Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Barnstars format for more info about it. It happened to me as well. iMatthew 2008 20:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- I tried fixing it, but it wouldn't work.
I'll ask somebody else for help.I think they have bots running around fixing it. iMatthew 2008 20:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)-
- And the A.P.A. will definitely pass GA. It's more than ready. iMatthew 2008 20:07, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- It has gone down, GCF convinced everyone to review an article or two to get rid of the backlog. I've also asked a few people to review an article. People listen, and the list has shrunk. Also, you should wait the full week to nominate APA. Since you gave your notice to the project yesterday, you should wait until next Monday, It's what I'm doing with Lesnar and Kendrick. iMatthew 2008 20:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey, you finally gt your name changed!! Congrats!!! And nice work on No Way Out! Thanks for the userbox! My first GA!!! ;) ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:28, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- LOL, hope so! ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 01:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Congrats on both your name and No Way Out. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- You seem to be having a good week. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- I have faith in the article becoming GA. ;) I'll pray again. What's the progress with NWO '04? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:42, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Matt gave his support? Man, that's funny. ;) Are you gonna upload a fair use image or free use image? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:55, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

No prob. Seriously though, its a cool name change. I'm actually thinking of doing the same. I don't know. I guess it depends on what everyone thinks of 3bulletproof16. Congrats on the name change! -- bulletproof 3:16 03:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Ottawa Senators GA review
Hi, Thanks for the GA review. I am curious about the lead being sourced. Is it not the case that the lead merely summarizes the body of the article, and the contents are cited within the article? Point me to a guideline if you can. Alaney2k (talk) 21:08, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, I understand about the lead section. Also, you mention that the Team Records need to be verified. I have listed a source below the table, the Senators Media Guide, which lists the Team Records. Should it be done differently? Alaney2k (talk) 21:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- I believe that I've made all the cites that are needed. Please note that for several sections you noted, that I listed a source just before the table or list. The Media Guide is in the bibliography. Alaney2k (talk) 01:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've given some chronological sub-headings. Not sure what you think of them. The cites for the Sensplex have been added. Alaney2k (talk) 05:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- One more time around with the sub-headings. I looked at Calgary Flames as an example for sub-headings of the history section. C'mon, give it a pass. :-) Alaney2k (talk) 22:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:APA
I don't really have time to do any reviews right now, as I have a lot of RL commitments at the moment. Also, I'm in the middle of approximately 100 projects on Wikipedia. I keep promising to help people! So...I'm afraid I can't right now. I'm sorry. Nikki311 01:49, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- You could try using one from Online World of Wrestling. As long as your fair-use rationale is convincing, it should work. Just say something about Ron Simmons not being an active wrestler anymore, so the chances of attaining a free-use alternative of the two together as a team are slim to none. Nikki311 01:54, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks (WrestleMania XXIV)
Thanks a lot for correcting me, I thought I saw Duggan in there. I was doing it really fast though... but thanks again. -- FPAtl (holla, holla, holla) 02:16, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi
Whoops, wrong person. Heh...--RyRy5 talk 02:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I hate to do this to you, but I am "dropping out" of the WrestleMania 2000 expansion. I hate to do this to you because you have do so much more than me, and I fell like I am being a total dick. Anyway, you can either do what I am too lazy to do and finish the article, or you can put it up for grabs at WP:PW/PPV. Again, I'm sorry for doing this to you and I hope you can understand my "laziness." –Cheers, LAX 13:11, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for understanding, I apreciate it. –Cheers, LAX 14:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, I'm sorry! Anyway, I'm pretty sure that anyone of the images could be used. Also, I think you should nominate it for GA. –Cheers, LAX 14:57, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
RE: Thank you
Pretty! Your welcome, and thank you for the barnstar. Nikki311 23:14, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
RE: Over the Edge 1999
The article is written fair and has no problems whatsoever. I will read the article and see if anything is needed in change. To answer your question fully, the answer is yes; the article seems for Good article potential. Zenlax T C S 19:47, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- You are quite welcome. Not to seem nosy, but when do you plan on nominating it? Zenlax T C S 20:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Good. I just wanted to know when your intentions were for the nomination. In the first sentence of the background paragraph, it would be best to fix the sentence that states "At Backlash, Stephanie McMahon, unknown of the driver, was driven away in her limo by The Undertaker, with intentions of abducting Stephanie, an action that carried into the feud between The Undertaker and Austin". As it sounds quite confusing. So far the article reads well. Zenlax T C S 20:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Excellent. I understand it and so will the reader whom reads the article. Zenlax T C S 20:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Again, I hate to do this do you, but can you please write the entire background section for SummerSlam (2001). I, once again, am too lazy. If you are unable to or do not want to, I will do my part and not drop out. –Cheers, LAX 00:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- That is definitely not the case, but I can see where you are coming from. Once again, thank you for understanding. –Cheers, LAX 00:39, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Um, sure. What do you want me to do? Oh, I sent you an e-mail. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'll try. I don't guarantee a kick-ass background, though. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, just wanted to let you know and I'll try to work on that this weekend. Right now, I gotta put some focus on HBK's article, so it can become FA.... stuff. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

It does seem like GA material, you may not agree, but I think Randy Orton's article also a GA. That's just me. Yes, I do know how to upload images. Why? Do you want me to upload one for you? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sure, but you will have to add the Fair use-rationale on the image. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:53, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Question: What do I click on? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:59, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I don't see an image, so what do I click on to see the image? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, now I see it. ;) I'll uploaded right now, but I don't think the article would fail GA if it doesn't have an image. Just add "Replace this image male.svg" to the article and see where it takes you. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:23, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Good job, man. ;) It looks better, than the one edit you showed me. Keep it up, this may be your next GA. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, I'll add more later. Are you gonna work on the Fatal Four way feud? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, for WrestleMania. Awesome, did you add a FUR? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:31, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, well like I told LAX, I don't feel like working on the Fatal four match. I will finish the EC, Hardy's and Dudley feud. Awesome, on the FUR. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:43, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I guess. Let's see what he says. Good example man. I've done that in the past. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:51, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I know how you feel. ;) Just, don't edit the article for 24hrs and your good. Also, Matt's decided to take a break. Remember, you sort of wanted to do the same? P.S. What is it with everyone stating "going back"? ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:14, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe you can talk to Matt and convince him to stay. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
- I see that. Also, when having two "You have new messages" and "You do not have new messages" bars, your talk page looks retarded. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:19, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Ogre (game)
I think that I'm all done with my additions/alterations to the article. Hope that everything is fine now and meets the GA requirements. Many thanks for your input. --Craw-daddy | T | 21:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
About List of universities in Bangladesh
Could you please have a look at the list now? I tried my level best to meet all the recommendations. It would be really nice if you kindly review the list once again and place your opinion (support/oppose). I am looking forward to receive further comments from you at its nomination page.
