RE:Mega Bucks
I've tried everything I can think of to get reference #8 to work properly, but nothing worked. I can't for the life of me figure out why it is formatting like it is. Anyway, I think since the team was so short lived, that the article is B class. It covers all the history leading up to the team, the team itself, and a little of the aftermath. Any more info would be great, since the article is so short, but sometimes that can't be helped. Also, a fair-use pic might be good, too, if you are willing to tackle that challenge. Nikki311 15:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey, Gary. Listen, we need some help in adding the feuds for the Rumble and LAX and I we're wondering if you know something from back then to add to the article? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
- Oh, that would be great. LAX and I would totally appreciate your help. ;) See, I was going to add that Sid turned on Shawn, but I realized it was the night after WrestleMania XI, back in '95 and that wouldn't been much of help. Just to make sure, we're not interrupting any articles you're working on? Oh, those sites would totally work for the article, thanks for finding them. P.S. The only reason LAX and I thought of you, was because you got Royal Rumble (1994) to GA and we were like how did he do the article and we can't do '97. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:08, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, we would appreciate your help in every way. Also, we don't want to pressure you or anything, but we'll probably have the article on hold, until your fully ready to help us out. ;) For the future, would you consider in helping me expand WrestleMania XII? After your fully done with the articles your working on. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
- It looks good. ;) Uh, yeah I'll try to fix the Background. Thank you for helping us out in the article. ;) Keep up the good work. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 19:59, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
- It looks fine. ;) I'll try to fix ref. number 8. Anyways, thank YOU Gary for helping us out with the Background, we really appreciate all the info. you added into the article and I added you to the PPV list, but we don't want you to finish the article. Me and LAX will take care of that. Anyways, I'd like your opinions for Unforgiven (2004) and what I need to do, so it can pass GA. P.S. And thank you for offering your help. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

The Copyeditor's Barnstar | ||
For helping copy-edit No Way Out (2004), which helped it elevate to GA status, I, Truco, award this copyeditor's barnstar to Gary for his contributions.TrUCo9311 14:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC) |
A few weeks back, you gave this article a very short review. I've addressed all those major concerns. The thing that held it back is the fact that I didn't have access to my principal source... Can you please look at it again? Thanks, Maxim(talk) 00:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
RE: Championship Lists
You really need to get out of my brain! I was thinking about starting a Start-class improvement project when the Stubs got below 600 or so. I agree that wrestling championship lists are the easiest. For the short ones, I think it is a fine line. If there is a lot of history, perhaps explaining why the title was abandoned so soon, then I think a championship with just a couple of reigns can be a B-class. Anything properly sourced and covered to its fullest can be a B-class, IMO. Nikki311 22:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

why did you revert/delete my edit of damien demento when it was spelled correctly and correct information 172.215.41.38 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:20, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Answers about two articles
I did some google searching for info on Callum Sprit and got the following results:
- For "Callum Sprit"
- For Caiman "Celtic Wrestling"
- The first search had four hits, and the second one had more, but they seemed to all be youtube/aol videos or from the official site of Celtic Wrestling. Because of the lack of coverage from reliable sources, it'll be hard (and quite frankly a waste of time) to try and expand/fix up that article. Because he hasn't won a major title or worked in a major promotion (as you said, they are all redlinked), I don't think his article is worth keeping.
Triple X Wrestling's notability is pretty questionable too, but there is enough information there to cleanup if one really wanted to. I did a google search for it, as well, and at least got some wrestling news sites that covered it. I'm going to try and clean it up a bit, just to see what I can do with it.

Re:Archival
Sure, I will archive it. So you want discussions that are older than February 1, 2008 to be archived right? P.S. Does that include discussions like that were started in January, but have been replied in February?--TrUCo9311 19:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. =)--TrUCo9311 20:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Woops, forgot to add the archive to your archive page, but its done now.--TrUCo9311 20:30, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ok,
Oh no, it didn't come across me in that way, but I was reading over it and it just read horribly, so I am cleaning it up now, then I will ask the WP:PW community to review it again and then they can do their thing and then ill see what I can do from there. Oh and thanks for that, hopefully those 3 article do pass their GAreview.--TrUCo-X 17:23, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I, LAX, hereby award GaryColemanFan the Copyeditor's Barnstar for copy-editing SummerSlam (2007) to ensure that it will pass GA. Thanks and keep up the good work. --Cheers, LAX 21:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC) |
- BTW, I saw your Pre-GA review. I'll start fixing them as soon as I can. --Cheers, LAX 21:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, you really deserve it. I'm just a little confused with numbers 6 and 9. O_o Could you please explain? --Cheers, LAX 22:15, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- Nope. It was just WWE pairing up people who didn't like each other. --Cheers, LAX 00:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll go looking for one. Thanks for telling me this. I just assumed (which I shouldn't have done) it would explain it. --Cheers, LAX 00:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Does the lead for SummerSlam need to be expanded further? If so, I don't really know what to put. BTW, can I cross out #6? --Cheers, LAX 23:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. ;) Alright, will do. Also, not to sound like a dick, you did not answer my question about the lead. --Cheers, LAX 01:49, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's perfect. Thank you for all of your help, I greatly appreciate it. --Cheers, LAX 02:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- I understand where your coming from, I would never come across you like that. I am more than willing to hear anybodies suggestions. Do you think that SummerSlam is now ready for GAN? I am still going to wait the one-week policy, but I would like your opinion first. --Cheers, LAX 02:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
- Now if only the process didn't take so long. --Cheers, LAX 02:39, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I, ThinkBlue, would like to award both GaryColemanFan and LAX this barnstar for all their efforts put into SummerSlam (2007). Good job, guys. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC) |
- You're welcome. And, thank you for giving your pre-GA to Unforgiven. I want to apologize for not getting to it, as Nici has beat me to it. But, I'll see if there's anything left. I have a question though, why should the lead be expanded more? Unforgiven was just a Raw PPV. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, when you put it that way, I guess the lead can be expanded. What would you want the lead to say? As for the Carlito thing, I don't know if its notable to add that he was "going" to spit on Ric Flair. But, if you think its notable, can you possibly add it. I'm not good with writing details. And, thank you for giving me props for Unforgiven, I appreciate it. Do you do pre-FA's? ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Looks good. Good job. ;) What else is needed? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Are you serious? Why is it that old? Oh, question: Do you do pre-FA's? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well, Unforgiven (2004) recently passed GA and I want to nominate it for FA. But, I would like a pre-FA if that's cool with you. Oh, I don't plan on nominating it now, probably next month or so. But like you said, if the work gets done now, then the more free time there will be. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

No Way Out (2004) again..
If its not to much trouble can you copy edit the article, as requested on its nomination page for FL, the thing is im not to good with copy editing. Thank you.--TrUCo-X 21:07, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- May I nominate SummerSlam tomorrow, or should I wait until Monday? --Cheers, LAX 03:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I'll do it tomorrow. I believe that would definitely speed the process up; however, reviewing articles really isn't my forte. BTW, if you have any time tomorrow, can you please give SummerSlam (2004) a pre-GA review? Blue and I would greatly appreciate it. --Cheers, LAX 04:58, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine, whenever you get the time to. We would just like a list of things that need to be done in order for it to become a GA. We will probably inform the PW community and nominate it once we have completed your list. --Cheers, LAX 05:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you much for your work, it was very easy to understand and you were helpful and precise in your suggestions.
I've considered trying to aid in Peer Reviews and GA Reviews on some articles I would know something about, but have never felt that I know enough about how an article should properly be written to notice all the nuances. However, I will attempt as I continue to learn more about Wikipedia. Thanks again. The359 (talk) 23:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey. I'm doing a Good Article review for Iván Rodríguez, and I was wondering if you'd be willing to go through and do a quick copyedit for anything i may have missed in this article (as that's my weak spot in reviewing). Thanks, Wizardman 15:42, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your question - have responded in detail at my talk page.--VS talk 23:49, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- GCF - I should also have told you that I did not answer your question regarding XV - in a nutshell however it refers to 15 (as in roman numerals) and means the amount of men chosen to play for their state or in this case combined states. Hope that helps also. As you will note I have linked XI which or course means similar but is in this case 11 men (there are 11 men in any one cricket game)>--VS talk 23:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Saw the pass - well done (I know how much work assessment is). Mattinbgn and his cricketing mates will be happy.--VS talk 00:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the thorough review of the article. The biggest problem I have when writing cricket articles is trying to remove, explain or even identify the cricket jargon, having grown up with it. Your review has helped me identify the jargon and has improved the article immensely . I will certainly have a look at one of the sport and recreation articles listed at GAC.

I'm glad we can reconcile, I understand about getting on the defensive before on reviews (I've done it myself before). It's hard not to take criticism of a review as criticism of ourselves, believe you me. Anyway, thanks for all your help, and kudos to you for staying civil under pressure. If there's ever a favor you need, just ask. VanTucky 21:15, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

GAN for Jos LeDuc
You have already noticed that I started reviewing the article against WP:GA standards. I put it on hold for now until you have met all of the points. I see that you caused me an edit conflict since you did many points on the list. That's not a big problem. Hopefully I cut and pasted all of my comments properly. I'll want to read it through one more time after you're done, so I'll probably have some more things for you to do. It's too bad that no one helped peer review the article because there was some minor wording issues that some more peer reviews would have caught.
I was going to ask you to review another article so that the list keeps moving, but you already did! Royalbroil 03:18, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- I read the article a second time and I only found a few things plus something optional. It's almost there! Royalbroil 14:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
- Congratulations on having the newest Good Article! I have updated the status on the article. Your rapid response on my concerns was appreciated. I have left some comments that you could make to improve the article further. Let me a message on my talk page if you want to discuss these comments in greater detail. Royalbroil 17:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Jerry Lawler appear as two columns for me, as I use Mozilla Firefox. I never knew that Explorer formatted it that way...that's good info to know. Nikki311 00:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- Those start articles are much closer to stubs, in my opinion...standards change over time. As far as video games, I think a good description of what the game is like, the graphics used, the "plot" of the game, critical reaction, and other stuff along those lines, would be a good way to add enough info to get it to start (and possibly B) class. As for the music albums, I think it would need a lot of the same things...critical reactions and sales would be a good place to start. Anything more than just a list of the wrestlers in the game or songs on the album.
- Don't worry about asking me a lot of questions, I'm the go-to person for a lot of people with questions...I don't mind answering them. That's what I'm here for. Nikki311 14:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
- I just found a pretty good article from mtv.com that has some of the sales numbers for some of the WWF/WWE albums. Check here and scroll down past the part about Celine Dion. Nikki311 14:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Ion Croitoru - SLAM! Wrestling refs
Hi Gary. On these refs, you haven't included the date of when it was done. Take for instance this you've used from SLAM! Wrestling. The date when it was done is located under the SLAM! Sports logo in the top left hand corner, in this case it is Jan 14th 1999. It would be best to include that in the SLAM! Wrestling references. D.M.N. (talk) 18:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Would you please elaborate on your comment regarding the GA-quickfail on Karlheinz Stockhausen?
I've posted a specific question for you on the talk page there. Thanks. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 05:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Question
What do you think of Vinkensport. I plan on giving it a full review later on, but I'd like your opinion on the article. iMatthew 2008 12:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hey thanks for those, I've seen them both previously. The link is Mark Liberman's blog, and it's the second post on vinkenzetting. However, it doesn't really contain anything new of merit, but just expands on his previous position and talks about what some others have said on the web (as well as devoting quite a bit of talk to a humorous fantasy about a Paris Hilton vinkensport movie). It restates what he says before: locals think birds sing in discernible dialects, he's doubtful. I didn't think to use Google translate the Flemish page, and now it looks to be the bylaws of a local vinkensport club rather than national rules. I don't think it's appropriate to use one club's rules as a representative of all the sport, as they probably vary some from club to club. Besides, I'm unsure of using Google translated pages as verification, their translations are notoriously rough ("Conducts to carry out the social goal"). Thanks again, VanTucky 20:41, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, you were right. Flemish is just a dialect of Dutch. VanTucky 21:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: South African articles
You can take it to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser. I don't think it matters, though. They can remove the AfD as much as they want...it doesn't make the discussion go away. I'll leave both the IP and user a message. Nikki311 23:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Vengeance (2005)
Hey, Gary. Um, me and Zenlax got some stuff that you left on the talk page. I don't know if that has helped out or not. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, again. Um, me, LAX and Nikki got the stuff off Orton's talk page. What do you think? Is there anything more? If not, can I nominate the article next week. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 21:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
my defence
here. While i have no issue with the one article being re assesed the Darra J article does not, i reached my decision appropriately, the story hehind it is rather complicated but the failer was not done to spite the editor i assure you, you might have wanted to contact me directly to explain myself before suggesting such things, if this has been a misunderstanding its completely ok. Realist2 (talk) 21:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
I can see how you were alarmed when looking at it like that, please remember i had the full support of another reviewer on the other review, on the Darra J article the person insisted more than once that i not review the article, trust me i worked hard to try to get it up to GA and wouldnt wasted hours of my own time to just fail it. Realist2 (talk) 21:36, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
English Horse..lol
I did, but they didn't respond back, I will give them about a day, if not Im going to have to fail it.--3L VaK3r0 22:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
If any of the article are improved then I will remove them, there are a number of WCCW Tag Team Champions who don't have articles (Brute Bernard, Mike Paidousis, Bronko Lubich and Chris Markoff). There are even NWA champions who don't have articles. As it stands Steve Cohen fails WP:BIO without more sources. If any of the article improve then I am happy to withdraw them. Darrenhusted (talk) 14:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
RE: Backlash (2007)
I, actually, didn't write either article. I had thought that alot more cleaning up on them would need to be done. But, I guess not. Anyway, I'll cleanup whatever I think needs fixing on both articles, and I will address all of your concerns for Judgment Day as soon as I can. Peace, –LAX 20:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
RE:Barnstar
Who would've thunk it, me of all people getting the Barnstar of Peace :P? Thanks GCF, I really appreciate the barnstar. It also reminded me to give you something I've been meaning to for a long time, but have consistently forgotten to. Cheers,

RE: Stacy Keibler
Thanks so much for the great review on Stacy Keibler and with the help on copyediting and sourcing. You really have a knack for reviewing articles. I've finished the last couple of things on the list. Sorry it took me so long to get to it, but I didn't notice it at first and then got busy with school work. I even almost pulled a Randy Orton at first by nominating it, because I missed the review somehow...lol! Anyway, let me know what you think of what iMatt and I did and if it is ready to move to WP:GAN. Nikki311 03:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Thriller
Hey i know your a very busy editer but if you see anything that needs improving or want t improve something (partically the citation formats) please do. Thriller is the most important album ever, wiki will be a better place because of it. Additionally i want to get it up tp FA this year. As its the 25th anniversary of thriller this year it will be quite special. Who knows it might make news outside of the wiki community. Realist2 (talk) 02:42, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Pre-GA review - One Night Stand (2007)
I believe all of your concerns have been addressed in One Night Stand's pre-GA review. –LAX 01:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Rollback rights
If you want rollback rights, let me know. I trust you not to abuse them, so I'm more than willing to give them to you. It makes reverting vandalism 100% easier. Nikki311 17:56, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Did you see this?
Have you seen April's Good Articles Newsletter? You and I are mentioned as outstanding reviewers for the month of March! Congrats. Nikki311 22:46, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Its ok. I have retired however, I am still here because I have 2 GANs waiting to be reviewed. But thanks Gary, you were a great editor to look up to. So I might be here for another month, and in that time mayby I can write the 2008 WWE Draft article. And yeah I am going to have to fail it. Cheers.--3L VaK3r0 00:15, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Professional Wrestling Article Stats
Since the last newsletter, the number of stub articles has continued to drop, 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).

Doesn't matter now, least it is improved, Maybe the article should be renamed to his real name also. Govvy (talk) 17:49, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
GAN backlog
It's building up again. Do you think it'd be a good idea to go around to the other projects again and ask them to review an article or two to reduce the backlog. If you don't want to, I can do it for you, but I think it should be done again, cause it worked last time. iMatthew 2008 13:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
