User:Llorezca (Swede Hanson's daughter)

Hi, I did make changes to this article because all the facts aren't correct. His middle name wasn't even spelled right. It is Fort, not Ford. I am his daughter, Luana Hanson Lorezca. I think it's great that I can look up my dad and read such wonderful things about him, however, when I see something that is not right, of course I want the truth out there. I do not know how all of this works, as far as who all has a hand in this information. In addition to my dad's name, the amount of children and grandchildren were not correct. Also, my dad did not go into the hospital because of pneumonia, I had to have him admitted because of his dementia, and the whole ordeal was very painful to me. I was the one who took care of him, by taking him to doctors and finding out the source to his health issues. I was not sure about how to add any citations to what I have changed and added, being that my source is me. I am his daughter, and I know the truth. If you ever want to collaborate or have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I do want to say, that I appreciate everything you wrote, I just wanted to clear up the errors. Thank You! You can also find me on Facebook, which can make it easier to commute, if you want to talk. I hope I did not offend you, I just wanted the truth out there about my father.

Ted DiBiase GT
Hey Gary. I was scrolling through WT:PW today (ignoring the usual dramafests), and I saw your question about a GT for Ted DiBiase. It's an interesting idea - all of my GTs so far have been tag teams or stables, which obviously have pretty clearly defined articles that need to be included. I would suggest asking at Wikipedia talk:Featured topic questions what articles would need to be included. At lot of the people who frequent that page will be involved at WP:FTC in supporting/opposing/whatever, so they may be able to help. Something that came to my mind actually was his family - children and father. I doubt they'd be needed, but I thought I'd mention them. Btw, how's Jerry Lawler going? Are you still planning on getting it up to GA standard? ♥ Nici ♥ Vampire ♥ Heart ♥ 01:09, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

DYK question
Hello again. I recently submitted Death & Destruction and Count Grog and I was hoping to nominate either of these to DYK. I'd really like to use the following hook for the latter, ("...that Pro Wrestling Illustrated has called manager Count Grog the "least employee friendly boss around" due to frequently double-crossing his own wrestlers?"), but the only online source I can find is his official website. Is this good enough or do I need a third-party source?

I'm pretty sure I saw it in a past PWI magazine but I can't seem to find the issue in question. His website says it was in 1999 and this post indicates it was "in the late 1990's in the intro story to the [PWI] 500". I checked the PWI 500 issues between 1996 and 1999 but no luck. I suppose its a long shot but I don't suppose you or other members of the wrestling wikiproject might be able to help out?


 * Nevermind, I found it this morning. The problem was that I was looking for a photo caption. The nomination pages are here and here if you'd like to add better hooks.

Replaceable fair use File:Moneyinc.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Moneyinc.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please remove the tag.

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

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

DYK for Count Grog
It me again. :) I don't mean to keep bothering you but I'm having some problems on DYK with the Count Grog nomination. Apparently there is a BLP issue with the nomination. I provided a direct quote from the PWI article in addition to two online links (the ones I posted earlier on your talk page) confirming the hook. I think its pretty clear that he "betrayed" his wrestlers in a kayfabe sense (it is professional wrestling afterall!) but the sources don't "explicitly" say so according to the editor who removed it as a hook. Am I wrong in thinking that the hook could just be rewritten to be a more neutral statement? Thanks. 72.74.208.228 (talk) 02:36, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Sports Entertainment article 'plagairism'
Hello! I followed the AfD discussion for the Sports Entertainment page, and noticed that someone had cited a source from a supposed PhD, yet the text was taken VERBATIM from what I had written in the Sports Entertainment article approximately four years ago. (Then noticed that it had been taken to this page as a serious concern.)

Upon Googling the book in question myself, I am convinced that this "Doctor" has compiled the text of several Wikipedia articles, turning them almost wholesale into individual chapters of his book. I believe that searching for any chunk of his text will bear this out. Also, I would like to point out that the supposed author of this text does not cite any sources anywhere in this book, which is not something a legitimate academic would produce.

Further, it is not published by any academic institution, but rather a vague, generic "SPORTS PUBLICATION" (see the title page). I would surmise, but have no proof, that this has been created by someone (not an actual academic) in New Delhi as a print-on-demand piece solely to cash in on ignorant individuals who would buy a print verison. I doubt the book's author has any connection to any of the "Dr. Anurag Saxena"s listed on LinkedIn. In short, I'm sure it's a fraudulent publication.

But as the text in question was largely published to Wikipedia by me, I will leave it for other editors, such as yourself, to decide.

Thank you. TravelingCat (talk) 18:31, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

4 lost US title reigns
I found 4 errors in the United States title history on wwe.com Firstly, Paul Jones' 2nd reign ended November 28, 1976. That is recognized when clicking on the specific reign. But when clicking at the reign by Blackjack Mulligan, it states December 15. According to every wrestling site, Paul Jones is a 3-time US champ and there was no vacancy or anything to explain the gap between November 28 and December 15, so I think WWE forgot the 2 title changes between Paul and Blackjack. Same thing happened in 1980 with Greg Valentine, where they didn't recognize a 4-month title reign, beginning on July 26, which is the date where Flair lost his title according to wwe.com So in the end, these are 4 missing reigns.

Do you know anything about this? Do you think they forgot to add them? Do you know how to contact them to fix it?WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 11:48, 24 April 2015 (UTC)

Snuka
This source claims that Snuka used to be a bodyguard for celebrities such as Roy Orbison and Elvis. This seems dubious, I can't find this information anywhere else but if it is true it's probably worth mentioning. Have you read about this in any of the books you have access to?LM2000 (talk) 06:20, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

Do you think it would be worth nominating Snuka for WP:GA? It'll obviously take awhile for it to be reviewed, but I think it has a shot. Nikki ♥  311   08:59, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok. There is a little bit more sourcing to do, and then I will nominate it. Nikki  ♥  311   08:42, 17 August 2015 (UTC)

Ulf Herman
I don't own the books myself but All Or Nothing: The Story of Europe's Most Controversial Wrestling Company and Holy Grail: The True Story of British Wrestling's Revival have extensive coverage of Herman's career in the UK. I think he was part of The Wright Connection in ECW too if that's notable. 72.74.210.158 (talk) 22:25, 17 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Are you sure IMDB is right about Revival: The Search for the King of England being a television film? I ran across this FWA show at Cagematch.net that took place the same year. I did find a reliable source from Hildesheimer Allgemeine Zeitung ( http://m.hildesheimer-allgemeine.de/index.php?id=2983&tx_ttnews[backPid]=2978&tx_ttnews[tt_news]=316488&cHash=5a710414a25796e3c7816d47e29b66a6 ) for his guest roles on two German tv series.

Ive withdrawn the AFD for this article based on your finding reliable sources and defer to your expertise here. What looked like blogs without editorial control may be more reliable than I'm used to seeing in this area.

About WWE Global Warning Melbourne AFD
Hi GCF, and thank you for your message.


 * To start off, I'm kind of bonkers almost all of the time (my RfA politely calls this my "unique sense of humor"), so I am quite happy for you (or anyone) to question any of my actions, simply as an editor, and especially as an admin.
 * My own personal veiw is that the article met the criteria for speedy deletion under WP:G4, for reasons I set out at the discussion.
 * I declined the speedy speedy deletion because that consensus to delete the parent article was some time ago, and its notability may possibly have changed, and I thought it fair to consider it again.
 * No-one, either "on-wiki" or "off-wiki", has contacted me about this particular article or its parent article before I started the AfD.
 * I've just checked my dedicated wp email account, and no canvassing there, either.
 * I do share your concerns that there may be some recent sock-puppetry afoot about Australian pro-wrestling topics. Rather than speculate about it, we should be starting SPIs. I would be happy to use my admin buttons to assist.

Hi Gary,

I appreciate the review for the Stampede Wrestling 50th Anniversary Show at AFC. Would you mind taking a look at Draft:Stu Hart 50th Anniversary Show? I added more sources after the last review but it's been sitting there for over a month and it doesn't look like anyone is interested in reviewing it.

I think it's even more notable than the 2003 show. Alberta Premier Ralph Klein made a public appearance and it was broadcast as a television special in Alberta (there's clips available on YouTube). It was also the first wrestling event to feature a "WCW vs. WWF" dream match during the Monday Night Wars era.

There's not too many Wikipedians who stick up for non-registered contributors so I'm grateful for the assistance. Thanks again. 72.74.211.2 (talk) 21:13, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

I found out from a highly reliable source that during the 1994 royal rumble that bastion booger had received food poisoning and therefore could not compete.

In wrestling
Hi, just wanted to contact those that agree with me about bringing back the In wrestling section of professional wrestlers' pages. I have made a couple of points, regarding what the opposing editors say when they mention adding these moves in the infobox or prose, and would appreciate any feedback or response with those who might be supportive of my points, as I'd like to see if we could bring back this section and create a more complete wrestling encyclopedia for those people that used Wikipedia for that purpose. Thanks, and hope to hear back from you. PRwrestlinganalyst (talk) 13:32, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Advice on first articles?
Hi Gary,

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on a few articles I've submitted to WP:AFC. They definately still need some polishing but I'm still getting the hang of the formatting.


 * Draft:List of professional wrestling attendance records
 * Draft:Big Time Wrestling (Boston)
 * Draft:International Championship Wrestling (Mississippi)
 * Draft:World Heavyweight Championship (Montreal version)
 * Draft:National Wrestling Conference
 * Draft:A Hot Summer Night II

Do you think any of these could become DYK or GA-class articles? I thought Superstars of Wrestling (Canadian TV series) might have some good ones. It was arguably the first wrestling promotion/tv program to use theme music and its feud with Maple Leaf Wrestling ended up in the Canadian Supreme Court.

Also one of the citations was removed as an unreliable source. Does that mean I should avoid citing Vern May (Vance Nevada)? I ask as he doesn't appear on WP:PW's approved sources page.

Thanks. 173.162.220.17 (talk) 16:47, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Unreliable Sources
Doing stuff in the sources section of the wrestling Wikiproject, I came across a discussion you started questioning the unreliable section. It's good to question things. You never proposed any criteria that could be used in determining what sites are unreliable. Some obviously have been deemed as unreliable per the RS noticeboard ala Online World of Wrestling. It's one thing to question things, it's another to only question something without proposing any criteria. I would be all for criteria if necessary. Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 10:15, 28 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The criteria are already found at WP:RS. I don't need to propose new criteria. All I'm saying is that we should determine a site's reliability according to WP:RS. Notes such as "Once reported X, which a different site disproved" have nothing to do with WP:RS. No WikiProject should be writing its own criteria for reliability based on factors like that. It's as simple as the author's credentials, the editorial oversight, and the absence of bias. GaryColemanFan (talk) 00:15, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Moved your response to keep it one spot. I'm all for what your saying.  This would reduce the list a bit.  But some sources reports being incorrectly attributed to people like Dave Meltzer have refuted by Meltzer.  We have to take that into consideration.  If we did take sources to the RS noticeboard, how many would be able to discern if any of the sources listed are unreliable?  I've seen some say they couldn't based them being a wrestling site.   Mr. C.C. Hey yo!I didn't do it! 01:43, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If a source was being considered, we would look at what makes the author an expert in the subject matter. If this can be established, the source will probably meet WP:RS or WP:RS/SPS. The wrestling WikiProject has a long history of thinking that they need to make things harder on themselves, almost as if people writing about wrestling should always do so apologetically. In reality, the same criteria are supposed to apply across the board. If someone presents a source about conical cylinders, the biggest consideration would be the expertise of the author in the source. If someone presents a source about the Winnebago Uprising, the same criteria are used. Professional wrestling is no different. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:56, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Edit on the Royal Rumble wiki page
Why did you remove my edit on the Royal Rumble '93 page? What I put is true. The information that was shown on the page was simple incorrect. Saying that Yokozuna had broken a record for most eliminations in 1993 with 7 is simply contrary to the truth. Hulk Hogan eliminated 10 men in 1989. I added sources since you asked for them, including the most reliable source of all, the match itself, which is available on YouTube free of charge. Literally nothing could be a better source than that. Here is another source I've found listing Hogan has having 10 elimination in 1999. This source is actually used on the general Royal Rumble wiki page as well. Also how is the truth redundant? https://web.archive.org/web/20120307063529/http://www.mondaynightwarriors.com/other-royalrumblestats.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.36.228 (talk) 04:45, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at ARCA
I have reverted it because WP:GS/Wrestling is not an ArbCom decision and is ineligible for clarification or amendment at WP:ARCA, which is for ArbCom decisions only. The correct venue for review of community-imposed topic restrictions is WP:VPR, following a notice at WP:AN, per. It's probably advisable to talk to administrators who are active in enforcement of those restrictions before doing so. Best, KevinL ( aka L235 · t · c) 05:28, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
