Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add content (particularly if you change facts and figures), as you have to the article Royal Rumble (2010), please cite a reliable source for the content you're adding or changing. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

February 2010

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did to SummerSlam (2007). Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. TJ Spyke 21:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

March 2010

Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to World Wrestling Entertainment. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. TJ Spyke 20:31, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Smackdown tapings

Don't add things that seem to have happened at a taping before they are transmitted, without a reliable source. Thank you. !! Justa Punk !! 05:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Survivor Series

Do not make changes to Survivor Series or List of WWE Pay-per-view events without a source. WWE has made no statement about bringing back the event. Until they do, do not change the articles. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 00:45, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

The Fox Theatre (Atlanta, Georgia)

Please refer to the discussion page. There is a consensus among three editors that your addition is inappropriate. Please do not continue to add it back. If you would like to discuss this further, please do so on the discussion page of the article. 01:47, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. —DoRD (talk) 02:00, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 02:00, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Bowl Championship Series, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

FAC withdrawn

I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the WrestleMania (1985) article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the featured article candidate instructions. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:55, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

  1. If you're nominating the article for a GAR, why haven't you created the GAR page? That's up to you, not somebody else.
  2. Why the hell did you pass the article if you didn't feel that it met the critria?
  3. Why are you nominating the article for GAR? What criteria does it not meet? Where are your suggestions for improving the article?
  4. Why wasn't I notified of this? You're supposed to let the primary contributor to the article (in this case, me) know if you nominate an article for GAR.
  5. If you're attempting to add the GAR page here, then a) why haven't you created it? b) why are you adding it to the old GA review page, and not the talk page? and c) why is it Talk:Jack Swagger/GA20? Shouldn't it be Talk:Jack Swagger/GA2?
  6. This whole thing is just ridiculous. Please kindly refrain from reviewing any GANs of mine again. I'd prefer a reviewer who doesn't nom the article for a GAR less than 6 days after passing it as a GA.

I've left you a question at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Jack Swagger/1, and I'd appreciate a response. ♥NiciVampireHeart05:34, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Still awaiting a response at Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Jack Swagger/1. Could you please say why you've nominated the article for a GAR and explain why you think it does not meet the criteria? I can't fix the problem if I don't know what it is. ♥NiciVampireHeart14:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Need Help

By the looks of things, their argument seems to be based upon the fact that they don't have a list of events section and having one for a 1929 building might be cumbersome and generally non-notable. Personally, I'd just leave it. You've mentioned it at WrestleMania XXVII and that will be good enough.

By the way, you say it's mentioned in the August edition of WWE Magazine. I don't have it so is there any chance you can tell me the page number so I can get it referenced in the WM XXVII article? -- Θak5ter  08:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Ah cool, okay. Thanks for the help. -- Θak5ter  15:22, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Thanks very much. I still don't think it would help with the Fox Theater article, but it will stop anyone from removing it from the WrestleMania XXVII article and that is much appreciated. -- Θak5ter  07:31, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

FG/WWE

Please stop adding what ever random WWE (or whatever) is airing when a Family Guy episode airs. It is in no way more relevant or notable then the 100s of other shows airing at the same time. Unless you can find a reliable source that mentions why FG ratings were affected by the WWE program, it is not important in any way. CTJF83 chat 04:42, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

STOP, you are being disruptive, by adding unnecessary WWE shows, when hundreds of others shows aired, and not discussing in here with me. CTJF83 chat 18:36, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
To make sure you understand, and make myself clearer, note the source says things like "TV Ratings Sunday: Grammy Awards Drown Out The Competition" and "Fox’s lineup was likely hurt more by the Pro Bowl". If you can find a reliable, non self published source saying something like "WWE hurt Fox's lineup, or took ratings away from Family Guy", then by all means add it.

FLC

Just a note, please see my comments here on your FLC. CycloneGU (talk) 00:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

I have removed your nomination of WWE from WP:GAN. The article is not nearly ready to be nominated and would likely be quickfailed. It has numerous problems, not limited to:

  • Mostly unsourced text.
  • An insufficient lead.
  • Citation needed tags.
  • Too many non-free images.
  • Unformatted references.

Please read Wikipedia:Good article criteria before nominating another article. Thanks. Nikki311 19:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Rollback.

Heads up. Cheers, · Andonic Contact 02:07, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

August 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Night of Champions (2010), without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
