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)
Talk:Flag_of_Canada#GA_Review All done Gary King (talk) 00:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Wow, that was insane
I think you know what I'm talking about here. ;) Anyway, someone else removed that crap (pun intended) from the page. Nice job with stemming the tide. Thingg⊕⊗ 19:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Tell me when you're eligible for the other two barnstars.

If the film was released, would it be a GA?--RyRy5 (talk) 03:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

To a veteran of the GA Review process who has had a significant impact on the Wikipedia community. Cheers! Eustress (talk) 19:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC) |
Not sure why you don't already have this barnstar—maybe b/c it has been hidden, but I just added it to the WP barnstars list and wanted to make sure you got it! Keep up the great work! --Eustress (talk) 19:22, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
R v Bailey
I saw that you were reviewing this article and had a concern about the verifiability. I had also wondered about this, and I started a discussion thread at Wikipedia talk:Notability#Notability in articles on legal cases. Admittedly, Wikipedia talk:Verifiability would have been a better place to ask, but it got a few helpful replies. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note...I hope some determination comes about from this discussion...it needs a definitive answer. Thanks! --Eustress (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
RE: Online Onslaught
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. –LAX 13:34, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Do you think it would be a good idea for me to AfD just those 5 articles you mentioned in the long AfD for World Wrestling Professionals? Just those 5 that you said were not notable. iMatthew 2008 15:48, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Myron Cope GA
Thank you for your GA review of Myron Cope last month! User:Blackngold29 and I believe we have addressed the concerns you raised, as we have noted on the Myron Cope talk page, so I have re-nominated the article. Since you reviewed the original, we thought we should inform you of the re-nom, so that you can take the opportunity to comment on it again if you wish. Thanks, --M@rēino 19:15, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Demento
So in sourcing that the youtube was shut down, what exactly do you want? There is no better source than GOING TO HIS YOUTUBE and seeing the message "This account has been closed.", which is the message given when a user closes his account himself. Going to any of his videos will heed the message "this video has been removed by the user", as can be seenhere. This is not a good enough source to you? What's next, in posting the results of pay-per-views, we have to wait for a website to post the results, because tens of thousands watching it happen with their own eyes isn't enough? You're taking this "everything has to be reliable" thing a little too seriously if going to the youtube account and seeing it written in black and white that it has been closed isn't a reliable enough source to claim that it has been closed. Tsaalyo Phoenix (talk) 21:32, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar
Sorry I didn't respond earlier, but at first I missed your post while checking the message below it. Anyway, thanks for the recognition, and watch for more improvements. Giants2008 (talk) 23:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
Demento Continued
If the closing of his youtube isn't notable, why is the fact that he had a youtube to broadcast shoots there to begin with? If the fact that he started it is notable, surely the fact that he stopped it is equally notable. Tsaalyo Phoenix (talk) 00:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
Re:Loose (album)
My computer crashed while I was accessing it, and then I never got a chance to come back to it, then, honestly, forgot about it. Feel free to take the charge from here. I will remove my name from the list if it is still posted.--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 01:08, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

WWE Films
Hey there i noticed you have dealt with the blocking of those who vandal this page in the past and was wondering if you can help again. The user 98.221.112.11 (talk · contribs) has vandalised the page 14 times violating WP:Crystal Ball. Thanks in advance Bencey (talk) 16:55, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi GaryColemanFan,
Thanks for your comments, I will change the article as you have suggested. The references certainly needed to be corrected...I had planned to do that in the coming few weeks before it was reviewed anyway, but I will now also make the other changes too. Thanks again. Seth Whales (talk) 10:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
GA Review for Anstey Hill Recreation Park
Hi GaryColemanFan, thank you very much for the quality review on this article, and for fixing up some of my writing. Please keep up the great work and happy editing - Peripitus (Talk) 22:45, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
An editor nominating articles for GA, articles that I mostly improved
If you look on TenPoundHammer's talk page and mine, you will see that I've addressed this. I would have never listed J.R. Chandler and Babe Carey for GA status yet, for instance, and have stated my feelings on that matter on its talk page. Something good that came out of that listing, though, are your statements on what improvements it needs. I do, however, point out that the tense for that article's plot summary is correct per Wikipedia's policy on writing for fiction.
Anyway, thanks for the tips on improving that article, and I'll see you around. Flyer22 (talk) 04:13, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Kingda Ka review
Hello, GaryColemanFan. I noticed that you quick-failed Kingda Ka (article) on April 13. I was wondering if you had any ideas on what to do to improve on making the article on Kingda Ka a good article (or even better, a featured article. Please give me your advice for the article on my talk page any time you can, and thanks for the help! –CPGACoast (talk) 16:20, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi you recently added a refimprove banner to the top of this article. I would like to know what areas you feel need additional citations for verification. Maybe adding citation needed tags would be more appropriate or if there is only one section it may be moved to just that section. If it is refering to the 2nd sentence in the governence section "[not in citation given]" then I will remove the banner and try to deal with this problem. 86.29.139.70 (talk) 15:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Requesting Good Article review
Hi, you reviewed an article I nominated, Flag of Canada, and passed it a few weeks ago. If you have time, I'd appreciate it if you could also take a look at O Canada, a related article about Canada's national anthem, and review it if you have the time. Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 03:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Battle of Marion
Thanks for your constant GA review on this article. First of all, the Confederates of the would sentence was fixed, more references were added, and most of the references were improved. Take a look at it now. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a line§ 21:37, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Money Inc. is now a Good Article
I am satisfied that the article meets or exceeds Good Article criteria, so I have listed it as a GA. Congratulations! I really like how you thoroughly cite the articles (this one plus Jos LeDuc) and how you are able to talk about the subjects outside of their universe. Royalbroil 02:43, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Bloodstained Memoirs
Hello, where did you move my questions to? Commoncase (talk) 15:41, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
New Project
Useight 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. iMatthew 2008 18:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
