Talk:Ted DiBiase Jr./GA1

GA Review
The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.''


 * Lead
 * "with his tag team partner Cody Rhodes." insert a comma after "partner"
 * Check.
 * "He won the Fusion Pro Tag Team Championship with his half brother, Mike, in February 2007, and also toured Japan briefly with Pro Wrestling Noah, before signing a developmental contract with WWE in July 2007." Try to break this down into two sentences.
 * Done. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Make a small note that Manu was released. Otherwise we're left wondering what happened to him.
 * The lead shouldn't give any info. away, than in the main body of the text.
 * I agree with 'Blue, it's not necessary in the lead in my opinion. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I really do think so. It's confusing to randomly drop Manu's name and not leave even a brief note. Maybe say something like "Ted joined Cody and Randy (without Manu) to form The Legacy." It's just confusing, because it doesn't tell me if Manu is gone, or if he was a hidden member, or what.
 * It seems really unnecessary to say "without Manu". Surely if he's not named as a member, it's obvious he's not in the group? ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 22:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * If you say so. It's not a big deal.  iMatthew  talk  at 15:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Write out Mike's full name.
 * Check.
 * Write out Mike's full name.
 * Check.


 * Prose
 * Write out Mike's full name again.
 * Done.
 * "received professional wrestling training with Chris Youngblood in" - change "with" to "from"
 * Done.
 * "DiBiase and Mike" make it "Ted and Mike" (a few occasions)
 * Why? It's standard to use his last name, I don't find it confusing, and this format is used in both Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy with no objections. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Because their both DiBiase's. It just makes sense that if you're using one of their first names, you should use both of their first names. Would it sound better to say "Obama and Michelle" or "Barack and Michelle." The second one, IMO.
 * I still disgaree, so I've reworded it to "the DiBiase brothers" which I believe is an acceptable compromise.
 * Why is KENTA notable enough to be included in that sentence? If he's not, remove him. If he is, explain why it's important that Ted wrestled him.
 * Done. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Change the to
 * Done.
 * "after Rhodes turned on Holly," switch "turned on" to "betrayed"
 * Done.
 * link to mentor
 * Why?
 * Why not? It's not a word every person would know. It's not a big deal...
 * Done. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 22:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "so he could film the direct to DVD movie, The Marine 2." - it should be linked to Direct-to-video not DVD
 * Done.
 * "at Backlash," -> "at the Backlash pay-per-view"
 * Done.
 * There should be a note of the new rivalry with HHH/HBK. Just a small note that they began a direct rivalry with DX and will compete against them at SummerSl
 * Its a future event.
 * Again, I agree with 'Blue. They haven't done anything notable with DX yet, and SS is a future event. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Who cares if it's a future event? However, I won't make a fuss about it.  iMatthew  talk  at 22:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "straight-to-DVD project" - be consistent. use either "direct-to-DVD" or "straight-to-DVD in the spots it's mentioned in the article.
 * Done. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In wrestling
 * The "managers" section can be removed. It was mentioned in the article, and is only one person. Therefore, it's redundant to list there.
 * It's the standard and accepted format to have it there, the fact that his manager is already listed in the prose is irrelevant. Managers are often listed in both the prose and the In wrestling section. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It's pointless to name it twice if it's already mentioned in the main prose.  iMatthew  talk  at 22:07, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In that case, I'd suggest you take it up at WT:PW, and have the managers removed from the In wrestling section altogether. Until then, I see no reason to go against the standard applied to all wrestling articles. For example, Jeff Hardy. All the managers listed in the in wrestling section are mentioned in the prose as well, and yet no mention has ever been made of its redundancy. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 22:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a big deal, especially not worth going to that page over.  iMatthew  talk  at 15:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Images
 * Please add alt text to the images.
 * I don't believe that's a requirement for GA, but I gave it a shot. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "DiBiase (right) as a member of The Legacy with Orton (center) and Rhodes (left)" (the picture caption" - add quotation marks around The Legacy
 * Why?
 * Have to echo 'Blue here, but I don't see why quotation marks should be added to The Legacy. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Because it's the tag team's name. It's not a word, it's the title of the tag team's name.
 * And yet, you haven't said to put quotations marks around it in prose. What makes the image caption different? I'd also point out image captions in other articles: Randy Orton - no quotation marks around Rated-RKO, Shawn Michaels - no quotation marks around DX, and Jeff Hardy - no quotation marks around the Hardy Boyz. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 22:42, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "DiBiase and Cody Rhodes (left) as World Tag Team Champions." - Add (right) after DiBiase.
 * Done.
 * Please add alt text to the images.

Hope this helps. Good luck with the review!  iMatthew  talk  at 17:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I've gotten half of the concerns, I'll let Nici do the rest, since she's more familiar with the article. -- ThinkBlue   (Hit   BLUE)  01:45, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I got the rest. ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 21:58, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I left a few more comments and the rest looked fine.  iMatthew  talk  at 22:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
