Talk:Over (professional wrestling)

OVER EXAMPLE
the current example of Bret hart put Shawn Michaels over by losing to him cleanly, but Michaels didn't return the favor is not only inaccurate, but also very biased. i will change it back to the more accurate example of Shawn Michaels put Hulk Hogan over by losing to him cleanly, but Hogan didn't return the favor. this example is the perfect example, when talking about putting someone over.

Merger
I submit that this merge was undertaken absent a discussion that involved editors involved with the page. It is not the case that a discussion at the pro wrestling wikiproject automatically creates a mandate or consensus for a certain action. There are clearly editors interested in this article who are not members of the project (myself at the very least, and possibly others) and do not have the pages where this discussion took place on their watchlists. Per WP:MERGE, it is not necessary to have a discussion here, but if a merge takes place without one and is then reverted, as was the case, here, edit warring is not the solution. Instead, we should have the appropriate discussion here.

My position is that this article is composed of encyclopedic material, and it is more informative than the couple of sentences in List of professional wrestling slang. If more/much of the content at this article were included there, I would not object to the merge. As it is, too much good material would be lost along with the chaff. If it is the case that devoting the kind of space I'm talking about to this term over at the list article would imbalance it or give this term undue weight, then that is precisely the condition for which an independent article should exist. I'd be satisfied either with keeping this article where it is or expanding the relevant section in the list article. Croctotheface 08:19, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * This article was split up on the List of professional wrestling slang. You can find the information under over and put over. If you would like to expand there. Please do, but you must provide reliable sources first. Nikki311 23:52, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
