RockmanX

By the looks of it, he's adding the same tag to every picture he uploads. I believed him when he claimed to have created Image:Longestyardsingh.jpg, but most of the other images he has claimed to have created are clearly copyrighted publicity photographs that have been incorrectly tagged. The only thing I can recommend is reporting him at Wikipedia:Requests for investigation. McPhail 15:04, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

WWE No Mercy

They announced the Kennedy/Undertaker match last week on SmackDown, and on wwe.com. TJ Spyke 20:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Re: Botch

I don't think the Owen Hart incident counts as a botch. The article defines the term as "to attempt a scripted move that does not come out as it was originally planned due to a mistake, miscalculation, or a slip-up". The Owen Hart event did not involve a wrestling move - it involved a stunt that went wrong. We also have a decent source for the Ong incident as well, so I think it should stay as the example. --Jtalledo (talk)

Championship reigns

Well here on Wikipedia, we go by when they actually WON the title, not when it airs on TV. TJ Spyke 00:06, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, we here on WIKIPEDIA go by when they WIN the title and AJ Styles won it on October 24th. That means Chris Sabin held the title for 2 days. WWE and TNA list the date it aired, we list when they actually won them. TJ Spyke 00:14, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Challenges

Yes challenges ARE listed. If you bothered to check PPV articles you would know that. If the challenge is accepted, then the challenge part is removed. If the challenge is not accepted, it gets removed alltogether. You need to learn to be civil. TJ Spyke 21:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Apparently you don't know how WP works because you are telling me i'm wrong despite the fact that I know i'm right and following the traditions yet. Older is not always wiser. TJ Spyke 21:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

If you check pages like List of WWE Tag Team Champions, you will see we list champions based on when they won the title. We just don't add in the title change until it airs. Also, it makes it clear that Undertaker hasn't accepted the challenge yet. If you check the edit histories of previous PPV articles, you will see the same practice was used for challenges. TJ Spyke 21:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

The problem with following kayfabe in every article is that it would also do things like take away 6 of Ric Flair's world title reigns. TJ Spyke 21:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree completley with you OutRider, the page clearly states that only official matches should be listed and as of today November 8th, the challenge has not been accepted and is not official. http://www.wwe.com/shows/survivorseries/matches/ You are clearly wrong in this case TJ and should be able to admit and stop vandalising the page.GShton 21:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps we could alert an admin or something of the sort, I would revert again but I would be breaking the 3 revert rule and be subject to ban. I'll look into it and try to find a possible course of action. GShton 21:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

How does this sound? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment GShton 21:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I am unsure how to classify the rquest for comment, if you could move further in the process it would be greatly appreciated. GShton 21:41, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

SS 06

Or people can see on the sub-line that it's just a challenge and that The Undertaker hasn't responded. TJ Spyke 21:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

New Year's Revolution

No, it's your job to proove its real. So unless you have proof from WWE that it's real, do not put it back in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TJ Spyke (talk • contribs)

That poster's quite real. Where exactly would they get a picture of Triple H dressed like Ben Franklin to plop down into a photoshop.Socks 01 02:30, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Test-ecw.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Test-ecw.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. hbdragon88 23:32, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Killing Joke - Pandemonium.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Killing Joke - Pandemonium.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:02, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.
