Lou Gehrig
editThanks for giving me a remainder about the article. Not all of the issues in my hold have been addressed. I gave another update on the article talk page. Take care.User:calbear22 (talk) 07:46, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Remember failing this one for GA? I've tried to address all your points. Could you possibly have another look at it? Thanks very much. Fainites barley 11:05, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- I don't have a lot of time lately, so I can't make any promises. I'll look at it if I can. Nikki311 20:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks very much. Fainites barley 21:23, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
Hope
editHi, their is a Girl Group signed to Solo Management called Hope. Obviously their are loads of things called Hope so I was wondering if you could suggest to me what I should call the page ?? WWEandTheXFactor (talk) 21:35, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
re: Archives
editThank you, I see what you are saying, sorry for the confusion. However, what you say about the link being in the talk header is not the case for Kenny McCormick's talk page, where the sole link to the archive was deleted. --Captain Infinity (talk) 20:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Title of references
editHi, could you please answer me a question: if a reference's title is in another language besides English, should the title be translated or left as it is in the original language? Also please see Talk: Marilena from P7#GA Review. diego_pmc (talk) 09:05, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

editHey Nikki, please see Talk:No Such Thing as Vampires. I have made all the appropriate changes so please check it out. Corn.u.co.pia ♥ Disc.us.sion 01:04, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
SummerSlam (1988)
editWith the FAC fail of the article, I was wondering what your plans are concerning future FA development. Do you see another PPV being promoted to FA as a possibility with our current style or do you think there should be a complete change in style for that to be possible? --13 of Diamonds (talk) 05:57, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
C-Class
editThanks for getting the ball rolling with C-Class for our project. :D
A suggestion: Any article with any banners at the top for our project are put as C-Class or lower. D.M.N. (talk) 12:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
British National Championship
editHi, thanks for rating this article. Could you just check something for me though if you have chance. The list of Tournament participants is using a web cite, but I have put the ref code in the section title - is that OK or do you think it should be somewhere else? Thanks again --Apsouthern (talk) 13:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for that, I thought it didn't look right but couldn't figure out the best way to change it.--Apsouthern (talk) 08:22, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

The number of stub articles has decreased to its lowest level since the project began its focus on improving them. The goal is to get the number below 600, and we're getting close. 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.

GA Review of Mount Garibaldi
editHey Nikki. The Mount Garibaldi article has been sitting around as a unreviewed at GAN for a while now. Could you review it for me? Thanks, --Meldshal42 (talk) 17:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry. :) Could you take a look at 2002 Bou'in-Zahra earthquake, which I'm currently reviewing? I'd like to pass it but I feel like it needs more. --Meldshal42 (talk) 01:21, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know. Malleus says that its not ready, so I don't want to risk it. --Meldshal42 (talk) 16:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Revision of Talk:John McFall (athlete)
editwp:talk Please do not revert/blank out GA reviews, even if you disagree with the editor who wrote it, and even if they haven't provided recommendations for improvement. The process allows for reassessment which can override previous editors opinions. But removing a review entirely is not acceptable.Swimmtastic (talk) 03:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Sidney Crosby GA
editThanks for your review. I've taken care of everything but the table alignment issue. Do you know anyone who could help with that?-Wafulz (talk) 13:25, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
RE: RE: Lockdown (2008)
editThanks. I don't mind. I'm got User:The Hybrid doing copyediting for me about punctuation. That isn't my best subject. But nice to know it is near GA status. I'm about to read over it again and see if there was anything I missed that should be fixed. Hopefully I can get it nominated for GA soon. I was thinking about doing a peer review.--WillC 06:23, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Nikki. Could you block the above IP for about a week. Looking at the contributions of the IP, it's very clear that its being used by blocked sockpuppet Cowboycaleb1. Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 07:36, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Ok. Done. I remember him doing that before. Nikki311 22:27, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
Can you semi-protect the page for 5 days? D.M.N. requested it, but the reviewer said no, but just look at the history. -- iMatthew T.C. 19:43, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
- Nevermind! Cheers, -- iMatthew T.C. 19:48, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Nikki,
I have addressed all of your suggestions for this article. Hope they're to your satisfaction, and thanks for the input. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 05:23, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the pass. Now on to FA! Hopefully, it'll be easier than my last attempt, The Wiggles, which took four nominations. --Figureskatingfan (talk) 04:00, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Swimsuit Templates

PR experiment
editDear Nikki311, I'm writing in hopes of enlisting your aid in a four-month experiment at Peer Review (PR). The success of the experiment will depend on finding at least 10 editors willing to review at least one article a week through the end of October 2008. The experiment will employ a streamlined review process designed to insure that every nominator who seeks a review gets one and that reviewers do not waste time doing long reviews for nominators who do not respond to an initial short review.
The way it works is this: (1) Choose any article at Peer Review that lacks a review. Wikipedia:Peer reviews by date, especially the backlog list, is still a good place to find such articles. (2) Provide a short partial review based on your initial observations and wait to see if the nominator responds. Examples of short reviews can be found at Wikipedia:Peer review/Foreign relations of India/archive1 and Wikipedia:Peer review/Ed Stelmach/archive1. (3) If the nominator does not respond, the review is done. (4) If the nominator responds, continue the review as you see fit.
The experiment will require no noticeable administration. However, if you plan to participate, it would be helpful if you posted a brief note to Wikipedia talk:Peer review to that effect.
At the end of October, we can see how the experiment turned out and whether this process or some modification of it could sustain Peer Review permanently with minimal backlogs. If you can help, that would be great. If not, that's perfectly OK. We are all tremendously busy with a lot of different projects.
I have chosen to write to you in part because you've done peer reviews from the backlog during the past four months. Please forgive the form-letter nature of this note, which is more efficient than a personal note. With respect and thanks for your hard work on many projects, Finetooth (talk) 05:36, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey Nikki, I just wanted to let you know that I placed Maria Kanellis on hold. -- iMatthew T.C. 13:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
And let me know if any issues come up with the review. -- iMatthew T.C. 00:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

From the Editors
As I'm sure you noticed above, this is the 20th edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! It has come a long way since the first issue, and I'm sure it will only improve from here. I'd like to thank everyone reading this for continuing to read the newsletter, biweekly. I'd like to especially thank those who have helped to get the newsletter to it's 20th edition; The Hybrid, The Chronic, TJ Spyke, Alex Roggio, LAX, ThinkBlue, Nikki311, GaryColemanFan, Gavyn Sykes, D.M.N., Naha, NiciVampireHeart, SRX, Zenlax and, RkOrton. Also, lastly I'd like to thank Misza13, for sending the newsletter out for us, though his bot. His bot has to be the most important part of the process, because without it, the newsletter would not get sent to project members. I know that's a long list, but they all deserve recognition for their hard work towards the newsletter. So again, thank you to that list of people, and thank you to all of the newsletter's biweekly readers. If you have an questions, comments, or feedback about the newsletter, remember those links below. Contributors to this Issue: |

Thanks! Nikki311 18:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well done! I find it a good thing that both were WP:PW members - the other was ThinkBlue (talk · contribs). Again - well done! =D D.M.N. (talk) 18:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Also, could you possibly look at the prose in December to Dismember (2006) and give it a bit of a copy-edit? Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 19:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
- Done. Nikki311 16:08, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. Hopefully it'll survive the FAR. D.M.N. (talk) 16:14, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks. Hey, Insane Clown Posse is up for FA and since its part of the WP:PW project, should it be mentioned in the project page? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:59, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was gonna mention it, but I wasn't sure. It looks like the article might have a chance at passing..... Let's hope it does. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:04, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks Nikki. You're the best ;)--SRX--LatinoHeat 18:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the reminder. I've been busy getting ready for and actually moving that I forgot about it. I failed the article since the history shows no changes at all. Imzadi1979 (talk) 01:13, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
HI again
edit- Hi!, it has been a while hasn't? Well I'm here to ask if it isn't a bother (I don't like to ask favors) would you mind to read Lockdown (2008) one more time. Because the peer review ends Sunday. Then it goes on the waiting list for a little bit. So a GA review is coming up soon. Alot has been changed in it since you last read it. So I would like to know if you think it will make GA?--WillC 04:45, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for reading, what did you think? Do you think it will pass it's GA Nomination in a week?--WillC 22:05, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, do you think that it will make GA? Also when did PWtorch become unreliable?--WillC 02:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
- OH, okay. Yeah I'll answer anything the reviewer says. I've got it this far and I don't plan on it failing.--WillC 02:15, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey Nikki!
editDo you have time to copyedit an article I created today? -- iMatthew T.C. 00:18, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- If by any chance you are online tonight, and can copyedit the article, it is Armageddon 2006, and is located in one of my sandboxes. I probably will not be on until tomorrow morning. Cheers! -- iMatthew T.C. 01:25, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, and I've seen the thread, but I was under the understanding that it was not mandatory anymore, not that it is now against policy. I really disagree with that new policy, because I am so used to linking the dates. Also, those sentences were basically just a way to move from the start of the match to the end of the match, but they really annoyed me, and if you hadn't removed them, I probably would have. Thanks, Nikki! -- iMatthew T.C. 12:00, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
I have one more article for the Coyedit Queen, lol. Can you copedit 2008 WWE Draft for me, please? -- iMatthew T.C. 15:11, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Maybe you and I should get started on getting on of the Diva's articles to FA...what do you think? -- iMatthew T.C. 18:18, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well we don't have to have every Diva that ever was a Diva. If you know what I mean. If the have a featured topic, can you add articles to it, after it passes? -- iMatthew T.C. 21:38, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- Also, I have so much going on right now, so I'd be happy to help, but not for a little while, when I get at least one of my projects done. -- iMatthew T.C. 21:39, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I really think that the info. about Survivor Series '03 and Armageddon '03 are pointless to have on Shawn Michaels' article. What do you think? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, all the refs. that were in the article were replaced with the "reliable" sources, but what should be done for "Wrestling Information Archive" in the article? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:36, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- To tell you the truth, I don't really know what issues they are. I've done Google searches, but have come out empty. If info. were available about them, I would cite them, but I don't know. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
GA Arden Valley Road
editIt seems that you were right about a lack of interest. As the article is not yet o Good Article standard, I think that the article can be safely failed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. J.T Pearson (talk) 18:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Question
editHey Nikki.You put that the fact that Slam! Wrestling put on their website that Ashley Massaro was granted a release from the WWE because of her sick daughter.My question is how is that truly reliable when they give the source as her Myspace that she has recently changed to a sick family member instead of a daughter.I just would feel comfortable another source other than her Myspace, that's all.(MgTurtle (talk) 02:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)).
Reply
editThanks, and yeah...could it have been a better day? -- iMatthew T.C. 23:51, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi! I just wanted to quickly say thanks for your review of Belldandy, and especially for the help fixing some of the problems with the article. Both were much appreciated, and I'm thrilled that it passed. :) Thanks heaps! - Bilby (talk) 00:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for taking a look at the article. I've made the changes you requested. Feel free to take a look at it, and thanks again! JKBrooks85 (talk) 07:38, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the info about switching the ref order. Good to know. JKBrooks85 (talk) 00:06, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Re: Teddy D
editThanks for the info, but unfortunately, it doesn't have exactly what I want. I need it to cite his son's birthdate. (I can't find it anywhere else). An editor saw the date mentioned in the book at a bookstore, but doesn't know the page number. Could I just cite the actual book, and not put in a page number? ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 08:19, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
- OK, cool. Thanks, ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 07:58, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Do You Know?
editDo you know of a reliable review source that gives reception to PPV events, I am trying to find it for SummerSlam (2003), so I can nominate it for FAC in the future now that it has no jargon and is out of universe and has reliable sources, or is it okay with just SLAM Sports and the grossing of the event?--SRX 18:54, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

RE:
editThen why is List of current champions in World Wrestling Entertainment still at Fl. Since it changed shouldn't it be revoked by now? That doesn't make any sense, since I copied off of that article to get the TNA one to FL. Not sure what to do in this case.--WillC 00:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Candice Michelle under GA review
editHi there, I see that you are a primary contributor to the article Candice Michelle. This article has come under review for Good article reassessment as part of GA Sweeps and problem has been identified and listed on the talk page. Please begin to address this point in the next seven days or the article will be delisted from GA and will have to go through the GAN process all over again to regain its status once improvements have been made. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.--Jackyd101 (talk) 17:18, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
How's it look? -- iMatthew T.C. 00:55, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Good. It will work great in a production section for the event. Nikki311 01:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Definitely. I'm going to expand this article, and of course, my ultimate goal is FA status. -- iMatthew T.C. 01:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

GA review for SummerSlam (1988)
editHi! I have reviewed this article, and placed it on hold as I have a couple concerns with the article. It is quite good, however, and almost at GA level. You can see my review at Talk:SummerSlam (1988)/GA1. Once you have addressed these concerns, please let me know and I will take a second look. Regards, Resolute 23:38, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm happy to say I've now listed this article as a GA. Congrats! Resolute 15:02, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you GA reviewed my nomination. The things you said are fixable; I've already fixed three things. There is one problem, I believe. Some of my references, like Baseball Reference or Baseball Almanac, do not have an author (or dates for that matter). What would I do in that situation? Thanks for the help.--LAAFan 02:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Out of universe
editHi Nikki, I am fundamentally disagreeing with your assessment that every sentence in a wrestling article has to describe it as "scripted" (passing over the insulting and inaccurate nature of statements that it is "fake"). I will not change your latest version about that on Stacy Carter but if your truly hold the above belief I wish you luck when trying to make all the other wrestling articles conform to it. For no wrestling article I know adds "scripted" to each and every result. Good luck. Str1977 (talk) 19:40, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra GAC
editHi! Thanks for taking up 2008 attacks on North Indians in Maharashtra for reviewing. I have tried solving the issues pointed out. However, I know I have not solved all of them very satisfactorily. Would be glad if have a second look. Thanks again, —KnowledgeHegemonyPart2 13:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I've done all but two of your statements about what needs to be proved. Those two are the heavy copyediting and the citation needed statements. Could you give me examples of my copyediting mistakes? Unsure how "heavy" the article lacks. If you give me examples, I know exactly what you want, and I can fix it. I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so a quick response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.--LAAFan 18:27, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Articles for Deletion
From the Editors
Contributors to this Issue: |
I finally found a computer, and I finished the Cy Young GA review requests I believe. For the citation needed tags, I replaced with references. Some, like the ones in the legacy section, have one reference for many sentences. That's because I checked that every sentence is verified with the reference, meaning the paragraph is sourced from the reference. As for the copyediting, I wasn't able to help in that, but I believe other users helped with that and fixed the errors. Cheers.--LAAFan 16:38, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Winnona Park Elementary
editHi, would it be possible to re-create the Winnona Park Elementary page? I'm can spend some time collecting the right information to ensure it is 'notable'. I understand the argument around notability, but it seems a little agressive to delete a school just because there are lots of other ones in the country. In fact it's interesting that this seems to happen to US schools more than it does to international ones (I'm originally from the UK) - and I'm guessing it's because people don't check on those so frequently.
Could you give me some advice on what would pass the notability criteria? Thanks. Chrisu87 (talk) 03:34, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Done! Nergaal (talk) 19:32, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Bump! Nergaal (talk) 10:22, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
- What about now? Nergaal (talk) 19:59, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
- I hope this is the last bump. Thanks for the feedback! Nergaal (talk) 09:41, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Much More Careful From Now On
editSorry! Thanks for the guidance; I'll be much more careful from now on! <:)
Since you actually know what you're talking about, can I ask a few questions? When one promotes an article to GA status and puts it on WP:GA, do you have to update the number of GAs in a category and/or the total number of GAs? There was no instruction on the GAC page, so I just assumed that a bot did it, but I just want to make sure.
Thanks. Intothewoods29 (talk) 01:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Input
editHow do you see HBK's article now? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think we should try to add the new out-of-universe style to the article, since no one has "criticized" how SS'03 looks. Yeah, it wouldn't be that hard to explain the moves, since clicking on the links and you have the info. explained. Yeah, I was talking to SRX about adding the "real names" to the article and yeah overlinking the names will have to be fixed. Yeah, I was gonna ask you about that, since there's nothing really mentioned of the MSG incident. Also, how does the FUR look for the MSG image? Alright, I'll try to explain the whole thing about the ring names, like tomorrow. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:07, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
I have addressed all of your concerns for round two of the GA review. Cheers.--LAAFan 01:40, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I recently signed up to help with the GA sweeps project. I noticed that the editor who was reviewing this article has left the sweeps project but that the review has been on hold since January. He has informed me that he will not be continuing with the sweeps and that I can take over for this article.
Since the only concern remaining was a dead link, I am inclined to pass the article. I wanted to ask you, though, if you thought it would be possible/acceptable to provide a link to a copy of the article at http://www.forever-ashley.com/news/index.php?news=275. I haven't looked at the site, but I'm assuming that it's not reliable. Is there a way to cite the Miami Herald and possibly include this link somewhere in the reference, or should the article remain as it is? GaryColemanFan (talk) 19:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- I closed the reassessment as a "keep". Thanks for your help with wrapping it up. I've been enjoying participating in the GA sweeps, and I'm sure you'd do a great job if you're interested. It's a really worthwhile project, as it helps keep the quality of GAs at a reasonable level. I considered joining for a while because the categories are so large and I didn't know about committing to ~40 articles. I took a small one this time, but I'm wondering if the organizers would be okay with two or more editors splitting a category. GaryColemanFan (talk) 00:16, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you (again)
editBut could you copyedit Bad Blood (2003)? Thanks so much.--SRX 02:15, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. Done and added some suggestions to the talk page. Nikki311 19:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks so much, I can always count on you! I also responded to the suggestions you made on the talk page.--SRX 13:12, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: Image:November 4 2004 WWE Smackdown Daniel Puder Kurt Angle.jpg
editHi Nikki, could you tell me how to fix the problems in my image, please and thank you, I'll be waiting for your reply, thanks... User Talk:Gregorynovella —Preceding undated comment was added at 06:13, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Nikki. Thanks for your comments; to which I have responded to them. Thanks, D.M.N. (talk) 13:27, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Jericho
editYou may not think it is appropriate, but guess what, I do and so does Chris! The reason he left the WWE was to concentrate on his band and his film work. He traveled to London, England to film for Bloodstained Memoirs and tour with Fozzy. Why you only want to mention the band, I don't know? And you don't even try to give any reasoning? But it doesn't matter, Chris pushed hard for his movie work (Bloodstained Memoirs) and Music work (Fozzy) to be recognised (via his book, his site, his IMDB) etc therefore it should be recognised here. Your own personal opinions should not and will not come into it. Arthur Cutz (talk) 22:25, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Rob Van Dam
editThe exact same thing with Rob Van Dam. Wikipedia is not for little WWE fans. His history doesn't end when he left WWE OK. He left WWE, and the very next day he signed up for a major movie. THis goes in the lead. The main reason he left was to do RVDTV - this goes in the lead. You need to be less of a WWE fan and be more objective in your edits. I will be keeping an eye on these pages. Arthur Cutz (talk) 22:30, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
I feel I need to step in here. Nikki, I went through a very tiresome deletion review over something very similar, and I won. If this were to go through a deletion review, I would win again as the facts are on my side. It is very clear you are a huge WWE fan, as I can tell by your user page. But as Arthur said, you have to be more objective. Think for a moment, if you put in the leaed that Jericho ad RVD are well known for being a part of the makor WWE, then surly them leaving and signing up to an indpendent company is major news? The news sites that picked up on the story certainly think so. The fact the the BM company has WWE, TNA, AJPW talent is a major deal. The fact that the BBC produces it is a major deal. I could go on and on, much like I did in my deletion review - where it will be judged by people who are not wrestling fans - i.e. the most objective poeple. Toy Story 3 isn't released yet, yet the film is mentioned in the cast and crew leads there... There is a certainly a very "WWE" approach to your editing, in the sense that you like to wait 'till things happen, unfortunatly the world isn't as scripted as WWE. I don't wish to fall out with you over this as Ican tell you are a commited poster, but in my experience I feel I should state you are off the mark here and the pages are better off left as they are with the BM mentions. Thank You Commoncase (talk) 09:37, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
