Hi, I noticed you tagged "Rains on Me" from the latest Waits album as being written by Chuck E Weiss. Are you sure about this? I thought that song was one of two written by Waits / Brennan on his debut album. Mortene 09:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:-wwe-sd- Boogeyman.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:-wwe-sd- Boogeyman.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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. -- Chowbok 00:16, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarity of your edit summary; the data wasn't in the Career section last I'd looked. Also, the speculative nature of the item could've been fixed with one word, but that's now moot. ;) RadioKirk (u|t|c)  17:57, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Edge
I wouldn't consider that addition week-by-week. It was the first major match in the DX fued and they handed DX their first tag team loss. It should be in the article. If it isn't, then why add the information about being in a fued with DX? -- Mikedk9109  (talk)  18:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

John Cena (Subway) image
Explain WP policy where that image should have not been used in the section of the article in question? --Mikecraig 04:03, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Verifiability
Hi, it's important that information on Wikipedia is confirmed by reliable sources. Per WP:V, an official policy, unsourced information can be removed on sight and the onus is on the editor including the information to appropriately verify it. Thanks,  Dei zio  talk 02:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not about what I want, it's about compliance with policy. If scratching and slapping are integral to their notability I'm sure there's a source somewhere.  Dei zio  talk 02:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I only spotted a reference to a slap (no scratching) on Boss Foxx's WWE Heat Recap on www.lordsofpain.net, but I appreciate the effort. Trivia is an especially tricky area as it contains vanity edits, unreliable information, primary research, nonsense, completely unencyclopedic statements and sheer misinformation perhaps more than anything else. If something is truly important to informing the reader about a notable topic (especially something contemporary and well covered on the web like WWE) then it will be out there somewhere. WP:V is extremely clear about unsourced information and, imho, all editors should be in favour of its principles.  Dei zio  talk 02:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

WWF Superstars of Wrestling
The changes I made are strictly grammatical in nature. The word the should not be capitalised when it is within a sentence. And, if you checked the edit history, I did not "mess up" any links, as you claim. Rollosmokes 00:07, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Please tell me how the links are "messed up" when they're STILL WORKING?? And, in regards to links, there was lots of redundancy in other sections of the article where they are used more than once.  The same thing doesn't need to be Wikilinked multiple times.  I've reverted back.  Rollosmokes 04:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * :I'm trying not to be a jerk about this. Hart Foundation and The Hart Foundation are not the same link, even though they end at the same place. They end there because Hart Foundation redirects to the proper article, with "The" in the title. Just because clicking it gets you there eventually doesn't make it the correct link. You're changing links that bypass redirects to redirects, which is bad. I'm reverting it again to fix them all.
 * Gee, it looks and reads all the same. That doesn't make it an incorrect link, does it now?


 * Without using what may be termed "uncivil" language and resorting to name-calling, this is petty. The links all go to the same article.  What's wrong with a redirect?  Your insistence in leaving the incorrect grammar in the article just for the "benefit" of preserving the links is petty.  And I didn't even change all of the links themselves, instead just making changes to the text that includes the hyperlinks.


 * A few other things:
 * Cheryl Roberts is no longer married to Jake Roberts, and when the Roberts/Savage feud began he was an analyst, so the use of "then-" in both instances are appropriate;
 * there are, as I mentioned before, too many redundant Wikilinks to names in the Notable Title Changes and Hosts sections that don't need to be there; and
 * what's wrong with using Mr. Perfect's, Razor Ramon's, or Diesel's real names?


 * I will not re-revert again today, but I will in 24 hours unless the stylistic and grammatical errors are corrected again. Rollosmokes 05:16, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You should never admit to being uncivil about something. It now appears that you wish to claim ownership of the article and/or prove a point.  Be careful.   Rollosmokes 06:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Managers
hi, i see you removed tank abbot from the managers section of Shannon Moore, stating "he managed 3 count, not solo Shannon".. just wondering is that a policy that we only list managers who have worked with wrestlers solo.. or is this a special case (not really upto date with my WCW history) -- Paulley

ECW (WWE)
Hey, I just realized there may be some confusion about our recent edits to this page, the IP address below me on the edit history of the page had vandalized and blanked legit content on the page, and I think we were both trying to revert it at the same time, leading to the confusion, I never meant for that particular paragraph to ever come out, in fact I believe it's inclusion is warranted. Sorry about the confusion. Bmg916 17:57, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

John Cena's Signature Moves
I punched a kid once in middle school. Does that mean a right hook is one of my signature moves? You know, cause I used it once...years ago. People amuse me. Cheers, B mg 9 1 6  Speak to Me 00:05, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Professional wrestling attacks
The 5 Finger Chowder Fist needs to be in this list as no other wrestling move is similar. It is used in the soon to be on television wrestling promotion known as Kaiju Big Battel. There is no reason to remove it, this is not a joke. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MEGABRENTX (talk • contribs) 23:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC).

Wrestling photo question
As I was reading this: Skyscrapers (professional wrestling), I noticed it has a picture of Dan Spivey. His article needs a picture, but I wasn't sure if I should use it or not. I read the description of the picture: it doesn't seem to be free use though. What do you think? I would like a picture of Dan Spivey by himself, but wrestling photos that are free to use on Wikipedia seem to be hard to find. RobJ1981 09:53, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well if you can find one, let me know. Dan Spivey is currently one of several wrestler bio articles I'm attempting to cleanup and improve. RobJ1981 23:40, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I might upload those. Is it easy to upload photos? I've never done it before. RobJ1981 00:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I went to the upload page and it said this: Do not upload images found on websites or on an image search engine. They will be deleted. The Dan Spivey image is from a site, so wouldn't it be deleted? RobJ1981 02:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

flag icon's on biographies.
I put the flag icon back next to his name on Ken Doane, in the biography project they put the flag icon next to the name at the top of the info box to show the nationality of the person. Also I have noticed they don't put flag icon's next to place of birth. Regards Govvy 12:34, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Film star and television star biographies, seen alot where they flag icon is next to the name. Govvy 18:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your contributions to the Wikipedia. When you monitor as many pages as I do, you instinctively start ignoring edits made by a few specific usernames because you learn from experience that those edits are invariably good quality edits which improve the article. I realised earlier today that your name is one of those that I instinctively know to always make good edits and to clean up after vandalism. So thank you. The Wikipedia is noticeably better because of your contributions. --Yamla 15:27, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Ello
Hey Bdve... good work on the image clean up. Its a shame we cant use the photo's but that's they way it has to be (just got to hope some fans start taking decent pictures).. anyway i expect you will run into some more images i uploaded but there is no need to inform me just tag them and they will get removed when they get round to it. cya --- Paulley 19:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Survey Invitation

RE: OwW
I don't want to remove them, but I have too because it wont let me roll back vandalism if I don't remove them first. Instead of saving my changes it sends me to something that says my changes cant be saved because WP recognizes SPAM on this page or something like that. I hold out hope it will be removed from the SPAM list, but for now it seems there's nothing I can do when a user makes several bad changes in a row (it only seems to happen when I try to rv through undo, etc.) Cheers, B mg 9 1 6  Speak to Me 17:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I've discovered we can merely comment out the links to OwW and it will not trigger the spam filter. This should be handy as this way we wont have to remove them, and we can simply remove the comment tags when it's removed from the spam blacklist. B mg 9 1 6  Speak to Me 23:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Apparently, they caught on to that trick. I have now resorted to commenting them out, and spacing the words within the link (i.e. obsessed with wrestling.com/b/blahblah). *sigh*, I wish they would take this off the spam list already B mg 9 1 6  Speak to Me 13:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits to Barbie Blank
Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Bdve! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule obsessedwithwrestling\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article. If your link was intended to promote a site you own, are affiliated with, or will make money from inclusion in Wikipedia, please note that inserting spam into Wikipedia is against policy. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! Shadowbot 13:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Overlinking
Why do you insist on overlinking articles? It is not needed, and just looks ridiculois. It would be like talking about the Game Boy Advance, and making it link to both the Game Boy article and the Game Boy Advance article. TJ Spyke 22:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * The mention at WP:BIO shows (which only had 3 people) suggest using 1 link, and the matter didn't really get resolved at WP:PW. It's not really informative and is just overlinking. I will give another examply, it would be like talking about the US Navy and having it be like United States Navy . People can always click on the city link and then the state link. TJ Spyke 23:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I am going by the agreed format for wrestling profiles. I don't just do it on yours, I do it for any wrestlers pages I check. If you disagree, suggest a change at WP:PW. In the meantime, please follow the current format. TJ Spyke 01:45, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Fine. In the meantime though it should stay the way it has been. The vote will be whether we keep the current one (the one we have always used), or switch (and if so, what to switch). TJ Spyke 00:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Joelgertner.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.

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , 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.
