User talk:Nautical Phasmid/Archive 1

Welcome
Hello Tromboneguy0186. I just discovered the article you made for Michael Koenen (a really nice job, by the way), and realized that no one has welcomed you to Wikipedia. You've made quite a few edits already, but here are a few good links that are useful to newcomers and veterans alike:


 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages

One important thing is be sure to sign your name on talk and vote pages using four tildes ( ~ ) to produce your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump, or ask me on my talk page. ×Meegs 17:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Ice Hockey medals
Yeah, I understand that the Finnish and Swedish hockey players are a lock to get medals, but they are not medalists until AFTER thier game on Sunday. I think its premature to be adding those categories. ccwaters 22:32, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Too late now, and it would be stupid to remove the categories and put them back in under 36 hours. Soon enough, it'll make no difference. Tromboneguy0186 01:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'd imagine Hasek will recieve a bronze medal. 10 minutes or 200 minutes, he represented his country. ccwaters 23:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Good call, added. Tromboneguy0186 23:38, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

RE: Angela Ruggiero
Sorry... I actually forget what it said... I'll go back to review it and make necessary corrections. My humblest apologies. -- LV (Dark Mark)  03:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. I always try and help a boner out when I can. I am not sure it is perfect, but it shall do for now. See ya. -- LV (Dark Mark)  15:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Why is this page not "Brandon Silvestry"? It's "Phil Brooks" and not "CM Punk," it's "Joe Seanoa" and not "Samoa Joe," (or at least it was) it's "Nelson Erazo" and not "Homicide (wrestler)" Just a thought. Tromboneguy0186 09:47, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

An often disscussed issue, See here for more info on the subject --- Paulley

Havana Pittbulls
I doubt the tag team by itself will be notable (I could be wrong; how well known are they? What organization?) Maybe you should consider including the info in the Julius Smokes article and making the tag team name into a redirect, if they're not well-known enough to warrant their own article (if you're not sure, we can discuss that, too.)

I was doing a little something called "Newpage patrol" on Wikipedia. If you go to Special:Newpages, you'll see all the new pages created for Wikipedia. It makes you realize just how much spam we get. ;-) Grand  master  ka  09:27, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * That's fine; you just need to mention that award in the article and find a webpage or another source that mentions it so other editors can verify it. Otherwise someone else will probably try to delete it (and maybe those other articles, if they aren't cited either.) An external links section might be nice too. Go ahead and do that and remove the prod. Grand  master  ka  09:41, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Phil Brooks
Only keeping the first reference makes maintaining hard, and the championship succession lists can become very very long, making it hard for the user to seek the link to a person if they are first mentioned and linked a few view lenghs earlier. It makes much more sense to just keep all items linked.

↪Lakes (Talk) 06:42, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes that's true for the text body. In the career section only the first appearance should be linked.

ROH Moves
You can move them back if you like, but the reason I moved them was because they didn't provide enough context to anyone perusing them (at the very least, the lists of title matches did not). So if you do move them back, make sure to put something about Ring of Honor at the top of them so readers will know what the article is about right away. -- Grev 10:06, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Spelling fixed :P -- Dubh  agan  22:51, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Shane Shamrock Memorial Cup
Hey there! I ended up restoring the bit about Shamrock being shot, because it appears that this is indeed what happened -- at least Google returns a whole bunch of hits about that, such as these two. As the original creator of the article, I wonder if you have a reference for that automobile accident thing -- I mean, this whole "shot by cops" thing seems to be legit, but it's not impossible that it's just a very persistent rumor... so, y'know, just an FYI. =) -- Captain Disdain 14:16, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * He was definitely shot by the cops after a domestic disturbance. OsFan 17:51, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's been fixed. Tromboneguy0186 07:38, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

WrestleMania X8
Could you please help summarize this ? I keep telling him it's full of grammar errors, weasel words, and peacock terms, yet he still keeps adding it. If you could help me summarize the match to be consistent with other matches in the article I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.--3bulletproof16 21:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot. TheTruth2 has been reported. If you would like to leave a comment concerning the situation please do so here. I find it strange that when he is referred to Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling show formatting or any other guideline for that matter, he claims that he has already read them and that his edits "still follows the guidelines". Signed up just 3 days ago... Yep TJ Spyke and I are dealing with a troll here.--3bulletproof16 22:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Go read your project wrestling page I left a comment there--TheTruth2 22:16, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I think, perhaps, I want to steer clear of this whole situation Tromboneguy0186 22:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Narnia
Hello, I noticed that you edited an article related to, or expressed interest in The Chronicles of Narnia. I thought you may be interested in knowing that there is a WikiProject working to improve articles about Narnia, your help would be greatly appreciated. Please consider joining the WikiProject Narnia. Thank you! Bornagain4 03:17, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Your list IS valuable
The list (ROH) you created is/was up for deletion. I want you to know there is a place for it: http://wikitistics.com. No one will be able to nominate it for deletion because it fits one simple rule: it's a statistic, list, or figure. Good luck with your endeavors! Joe 18:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Vic Grimes
I just can't get through to user JB196. He continues to revert the article, reducing its quality claiming that he is not credited as "The Author" in the article itself. The issue is being brought up here help would be greatly appreciated. -- bullet proof  3:16 04:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Removing of heavyweight from every article
I have to object to your removal of "Heavyweight" from every article, though it was relevent to some. As per WWF Championship and even the ROH Tag Team Championship the articles list the name of the belt at the time they were won. When Austin Aries and Roderick Strong got the Tag Titles moved up to World status all previous owners were still ROH Tag Team Champions, the link was simply changed to World Tag Team (excluding Aries and Strong who had the title changed to it so the belt on their pages was listed World Tag Team). –– Lid(Talk) 07:41, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm double checking that with old ROH videos, specifically the matches between Samoa Joe and CM Punk. –– Lid(Talk) 07:55, 14 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok at Joe vs Punk II the Samoa Joe text says "ROH World Champion Samoa Joe" and the match is for the "ROH World Title". Yep never heavyweight. –– Lid(Talk) 07:58, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Name Changes
I'm asking all of you nicely to stop editing the page. It is not relavant to his career. It's just people being nitpicking and exerting power to show off. Every single othert nfo site on the internet respects privacy, why not you? Is it REALLY that important to you???? Wrestlers give their lives, bodies health for entertainment. Can you not give something back??? :( :( Just leave it out because I'm asking you to. If you put it back, it's disrespectful.

User:TrishBunkey

You're doing this for the sake of doing it. Years and years ago the press would keep certian things out of the media because they had a gentlemens agreement. Things like personal information that wouldn't affect the story. Then the tabloid reporter mentality was born and hence people believe that because someone is a public figure they have no right to privacy. It is a hateful and vile practice. It's borderline stalkerish. Please stop being a keyboard warrior. If you love wrestling then have some respect for these guys. Not just one but all. Seriously, does Wikipedia allow all users to make public information just because? Would it be SO terrible if you left it off? Seriously ask youself why you keep reverting? Is it a power trip? Please understand where I am coming from.

I can revert all day and change IP addresses but I'd rather not. I'd rather have a truce on this please. and maybe you should rethink your practices on this site. I'm sure there is info others would rather not have on here.

 * IMO it's not worth reporting to WP:PAIN yet, at least not until the 3RR report is handled. I'll try to keep an eye on "proceedings". :) --> So sayeth  M  e  t  h  n  o  r Sayeth back|Other sayethings
 * Thanks for the report. I know exactly where this whole saga is heading, but I'd rather not jump the gun (maybe there's some hope of reasoning with the user). I've reset he original block and blocked the IP. Feel free to contact me if anything else comes up. Regards, alpha Chimp (talk) 15:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
