WWE Global Warning
You have broken the 3RR rule and you need to stop no matter what the reason is for your edits. The reality is this - the Corporate pages you are relying on are keyed to North America only. That's the way WWE worked in 2002, so of course any pay per view won't be mentioned simply because it wasn't shown in North America. But all six of my sources (and there are more to come soon hopefully) are not fan sites and further they are not unreliable. You need to find a reliable source that states that "Global Warning was not a pay per view event". WWE Corporate in this case is not good enough because independent sourcing contradicts it - or rather clears a grey area as the offical site doesn't make it clear either way. I strongly recommend that you leave this alone until you find the specified source with the quote I made (it doesn't need to be exact of course, but the message needs to be clear - omission of a statement is not enough). Curse of Fenric (talk) 12:49, 19 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Curse of Fenric WWE's press releases always mention whether or not a show is available on pay-per-view. Their press releases for Insurrextion and Rebellion mention they were on PPV, why would they not mention it for Global Warning? Also, if this was indeed a PPV, why is it not on the WWE Network? All of the UK PPVs are on the Network. Global Warning isn't. I have tons of sources mentioning that this was not a pay-per-view, but they're not reliable sources so I'm not going to print them. Of the reliable sources that I do have, in addition to WWECorporate, there's also TheHistoryOfWWE.com which makes note of every show that ever aired on PPV. No mention for Global Warning. ProWrestlingHistory.com is another site that mentions whether or not a show ever aired on PPV. No mention for Global Warning. I see that you're from Australia, so maybe you have a bias towards this show, I'm not sure, but unless you can show me an advertisement, a commercial, an event poster or any other sort of proof that this show aired on PPV, then there is no legit proof that this show aired on PPV. If you watch the show on DVD, there are no commentators seated at ringside. Tazz and Michael Cole did voiceovers later on back at the WWE TV studios. They never appear on camera once. Also, on the DVD there are only 6 matches shown. The live show had several additonal matches that are cut out. The reason is because Tazz & Cole did not do commentary for them. Even the Australian release of Global Warning did not include the complete show. Unfortunately, what has happened over the last 13 years is someone incorrectly posted that this show aired on PPV and since then it just spread as fact. And for many years Wikipedia has had that show listed on the WWE Pay-Per-Views list. So pretty much all of those sites that you listed as sources used Wikipedia as their reference for calling Global Warning a PPV. Anyone who was a fan back in 2002, like myself, who read all of the coverage online from fans who were there live the day Global Warning happened, remembers vividly that there was not one mention of this show airing on PPV. Do you know anyone in Australia who actually watched this show on PPV? And Fanatic Series doesn't count because those were pre-packaged "Best-Of" shows that WWE would run on PPV channels. They usually aired a condensed version of whatever home video release was popular at that time. Now before I go back and re-edit the Global Warning show, I'm getting all my ducks in row first. I have an e-mail out to Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer, as well as Mike Johnson of PWInsider asking to confirm on their respective sites that this show did not air on PPV. To be continued...OldSkool01 (talk) 13:59, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Please move this to the talk page of Global Warning. That is procedure. Thanks. Curse of Fenric (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Curse of Fenric Looks like the Global Warning page doesn't exist anymore. That's a shame. Oh well. There was nothing special about that show anyway. It wasn't a PPV nor was it on television. OldSkool01 (talk) 02:40, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

The article may have been deleted but the event still has a word-for-word photocopy on Professional wrestling in Australia. The fight over "pay-per-view" wording continues there. Curse of Fenric participated in Articles for deletion/WWE Global Warning Tour (2nd nomination) in 2007 argued it was a PPV then, not much has changed apparently.LM2000 (talk) 05:32, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I just want to also note that that article was deleted through AfD twice on the grounds that it was not a PPV. It has been deleted a handful of other times by PROD.  The consensus formed on two separate occasions is that it is not a PPV.  No reliable sourcing has since been provided to change this.  I also think that its section currently on Professional wrestling in Australia is undue but that's a separate matter.LM2000 (talk) 07:33, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I feel like I've been arguing for years that Global Warning did not belong on any PPV list. Right before the page was deleted I included a source from WrestlingObserver.com. It was from August 10, 2002 by a fan who was there live at the show and he specifically mentioned in the report that the show was not airing on PPV. I think I'll include that same source to the professional wrestling in Australia article. OldSkool01 (talk) 12:59, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Good find! It's not going to get more reliable and cut-and-dry than that.LM2000 (talk) 17:29, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * On the contrary, it's just as much a fan report as the others I originally had and were torn down as unreliable. Besides, I can verify a number of inaccuracies in the report as I was there as much as this reporter was. The main reason for the deletion years ago due to lack of sources either way. We have those now and I am miffed that the article itself has been deleted, especially as it is a notable event anyway due to the attendance record it set at the time. But I digress. The reality is we have an impasse that can only be resolved by (a) Finding a source that expressly states that it was not shown on pay per view (b) Finding a TV guide from south east Asia that shows that it was shown. I tried to find a digital copy of the Straits Times, but it wouldn't let me access it. One assumes that Ten Sports would have shown it if it was shown, but I don't know how far Ten Sports went in 2002 beyond Singapore. Meanwhile - I'm going to edit Pro Wrestling in Australia with some neutral commentary (an IP has just reverted to my edit but at this point I don't think that helps) referencing the dispute to give both of us some time to sort this out. Curse of Fenric (talk) 23:16, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Curse of Fenric Here you go buddy. As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I contacted Dave Meltzer(one of the absolute most respected and trusted wrestling reporters out there) and he confirmed today that Global Warning was indeed NOT a ppv. Check this out and scroll down towards the end of the article. http://www.f4wonline.com/more/more-top-stories/118-daily-updates/42664-thurs-update-more-from-nxt-takeover-samoa-joe-deal-notes-what-tna-talent-has-been-told-white-predicts-2-million-buys-for-rousey-vs-cyborg-lawler-angle- End of debate. Game set match. OldSkool01 (talk) 00:56, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Per WikiProject Professional wrestling/Sources, Dave Meltzer and the Wrestling Observer are considered far more reliable than any other sources presented so far (PWTorch is comparable, they simply reported on the DVD and never called it a PPV).LM2000 (talk) 01:33, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Not when he's expressing a personal opinion, which he makes a habit of. OldSkool you had NO RIGHT to contact Dave as I said to you already. That's manipulation and detracts from it's reliability. Curse of Fenric (talk) 01:55, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * No right?! Who are you to tell me what my "rights" are? I asked a reliable source a direct question and he answered it on his site. How is that manipulation? I don't appreciate your attitude. You need to get over it and accept the facts that have been provided. I'm done with this. OldSkool01 (talk) 02:38, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Meltzer is part wrestling historian, part commentator. Decisively saying the event was not a PPV is fact, not editorial commentary.  The original Observer source OldSkool provided should have been good enough to end the debate, after you raised concerns OldSkool was well within their rights to ask the publisher for a clarification.  We now have that clarification and I think it's time we respect the consensus achieved throughout the years at various AfDs and stop listing Global Warning as a PPV.LM2000 (talk) 05:24, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * LM2000 Over on the talk page of Professional wrestling in Australia I've added several other links that provide further evidence showing Global Warning did not air on PPV. I've had a ridiculously long back and forth debate with Curse Of Fenric, who refuses to believe that the show did not air on PPV. I think all of the evidence I provided is more than enough to finally end this debate.OldSkool01 (talk) 05:00, 28 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Looks like we have a troll over on the Professional wrestling in Australia page. Someone with no username and no sources or references changing Global Warning because he claims he saw it on PPV in VIETNAM of all places. OldSkool01 (talk) 13:40, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Neutral point of view noticeboard discussion
Hello, OldSkool01. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Sir, please review WP:CIVIL particularly the part "Try not to get too intense." You have been bossy towards the other user on this noticeboard and you would be well advised to review your conduct. Ta. 101.160.23.40 (talk) 11:31, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Excuse me if I'm a little confused, but at what point was I not being civil? I responded with exactly what was asked of me. I stated my case and I made it easier for the admins to read the entire debate in question and even provided links to said conversations. Also, the user who initiated this has been far more intense than I. If you go back and read the entire convo we've been having, he makes false accusations towards me and even resorts to name calling. I think I've been more than fair and calm with my responses. Also, why was my last reponse completely deleted? That response included some very important information for the admins to read. No reason to remove that comment.OldSkool01 (talk) 12:18, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes there was because you were in violation of WP:CIVIL and I shall remove it again presently. Do not be a bully. Even out your words in a less volatile manner. Any provocation you claim is not relevant. He has been brief only and has stated his case and nothing more. Ta. 101.160.23.40 (talk) 13:03, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've reverted the IP's second deletion and warned them. Your post was fine. --Neil N  talk to me 13:19, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

List of WWE pay-per-view events
Here's why I made the changes I did.


 * 1) Removing links to well-known locations, such as New York City. (see Manual_of_Style/Linking).
 * 2) Avoiding state abbreviations (see Manual_of_Style/Abbreviations)
 * 3) Fixing (simplifying) links to venues:
 * The names of venues tend to change because of sponsorship deals with naming rights. A redirect provides a simple way to ensure that all links to an old name will go to the article under the current name. Piping an old name to the current name is pointless because if the name changes again, as it surely will when the current sponsorship deal comes to an end, the piped name will itself become a redirect and the already trivial benefit of a direct link will be lost. This has already happened in several cases - for example 1st Mariner Arena simply pipes the name to another name which has since been superseded, and is now itself a redirect.

Here are some relevant extracts from guides to best practice in piping and redirects:


 * 1) From Piped_link:
 * It is generally not good practice to pipe links simply to avoid redirects. The number of links to a redirect page can be a useful gauge of when it would be helpful to spin off a subtopic of an article into its own page.
 * Introducing unnecessary invisible text makes the article more difficult to read in page source form.
 * Non-piped links make better use of the "what links here" tool, making it easier to track how articles are linked and helping with large-scale changes to links.


 * 1) From Redirect:
 * There is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles. Some editors are tempted, upon finding a link to a redirect page, to bypass the redirect and point the link directly at the target page. While there are a limited number of cases where this is beneficial, there is otherwise no good reason to pipe links solely to avoid redirects. Doing so is generally an unhelpful, time-wasting exercise that can actually be detrimental. It is almost never helpful to replace redirect with redirect.

Colonies Chris (talk) 10:19, 19 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Colonies Chris That's all well and good, but you did such a haphazard job. Some locations include city and state, some only include the city, some cities are linked, others are not. The general consensus has always been to have a uniform look. And both city and state should be included. If doing away with abbreviations is a big deal, then no problem. I can go along with full names. But now you've given me a ton of work to do. I'm keeping the full names, but every location will include both city and state. OldSkool01 (talk) 18:04, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It was agreed some time ago that certain major cities don't need the state - for example, New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc., and those articles were changed to remove the state from the article title. There's no benefit to specifying the state when it's neither necessary nor helpful. And major internationally known cities don't need linking either. Nobody's going to wonder 'New York City, whereabouts is that?' and click the link to find out. Colonies Chris (talk) 18:16, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not about that. It's about this particular page, and this particular list, having a uniform neat look. It's been like this for years and no one has ever complained about it. There was a discussion about this years ago. How other pages decide to list cities is up to those specific pages. It doesn't have to be uniform across all of Wikipedia. Each page is different.

Hello, I'm JCRules. I noticed that you made a change to an article, NXT TakeOver (2016), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  JC  &middot;&#32; Talk &middot;&#32; Contributions 03:05, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
 * JCRules, you jumped the gun there, didn't you? There was no need for you to make any changes in the first place because there were already links proving the name of the event(the link next to the Aries vs Nakamura match being one of them). That's why I made the changes that I did. If you looked at the edit history of that page you'll notice that I've been very strong on enforcing that people provide verified sources confirming the name of the event. Why would I then make changes myself without doing the same thing? OldSkool01 (talk) 05:42, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your move
Hi, when moving pages, please make sure there are no Requested Moves open at the time. One of your moves which you did on 13 June 2016 at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn (2016) ended up in a discussion being almost worthless. Please double check before moving pages, thanks.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   07:15, 22 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi. I did see the requested moves discussion, but once the new official title of the event was confirmed there was no need to go further with the discussion. As you said, continuing the discussion was pointless. OldSkool01 (talk) 14:54, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

User:Sceptre and List of WWE pay-per-view events
User:Sceptre had requested and granted full page protection on List of WWE pay-per-view events because he believes that PWInsider isn't reliable and wants proof from Sky Italia and WWE themselves that the shows are going to happen. The user is just grasping for straws.--Keith Okamoto (talk) 20:24, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * So one person makes a request and gets an instant full protection? Smells fishy to me. And looking at the edit history page, the full protection was made minutes after Sceptre made their last edit. Definitely something unethical going on. No way does a page get full protected based on one person not considering a particular website a verifiable source. This needs to be looked into. OldSkool01 (talk) 21:27, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Look on Reliable sources/Noticeboard, they're saying PWInsider fails reliability.--Keith Okamoto (talk) 21:59, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Please stop
This is your only warning; if you make personal attacks on other people again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Vince McMahon is recognized as Mr. McMahon in WWE World Heavyweight Championship history.

 * I ask again, where's the personal attack? Also I'm not the only one who reverted your edits. Several people did because your edits were unnecessary. OldSkool01 (talk) 17:38, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Survivor Series
I don't see how you can make the claim that your edits on Survivor Series were done for consistency. You appear to have made the change on the majority of the articles, which means you took it farther away from its previous consistency. "Traditional" is meaningless to casual readers, so 4-on-4 makes much more sense. GaryColemanFan (talk) 01:16, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * "Traditional" is what WWE has been calling it forever. Anyone can see how many participants are in the match just by looking at the match results. It's not like a battle royal or Royal Rumble where you have 20-30 guys and need to count them all. But if you want to compromise, how does "5-on-5 traditional Survivor Series elimination match" sound? We keep both versions. OldSkool01 (talk) 01:42, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * When I watched wrestling, they never used the word "traditional". GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:58, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The first time I remember these matches being referred to as traditional Survivor Series matches was in 1992. On commentary they referred to them as such. And from 1989 they called Survivor Series itself the "Thanksgiving Night Tradition". In the early 2000's they referred to the matches as "Classic" Survivor Series matches. And for the last decade or so they've pushed hard the "traditional" name. Even the on-screen graphics have been using that term. OldSkool01 (talk) 08:20, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

STOP ALREADY!
Stop adding those matches to Roadblock: End of the Line, NOTHING is official yet. Just because their (PPG Paints Arena) Twitter and Facebook Accounts announced it doesn't make it official (Hell it's not even on their site). I'm going to keep undoing your edit until it is official by WWE themselves. ForrestFuller (talk) 06:10, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * This article isn't worth arguing over. Especially since those matches will "officially" be announced in 3 days. However, the fact that you broke several WP guideline rules, including removal of verified sources as well as blatant 3R edits, not to mention your language in the edits and your message to me showing your intention to continually edit war, I could have easily reported you. I had way more than enough evidence against you. But like I said, those matches will be announced on Raw Monday, so this article isn't worth it. In the future please show a little more respect to the other editors and learn more about WP's guidelines as far as what is and what isn't allowed. Thank you.

Editing while logged out
You've done a fair amount of editing while logged out. That's not in itself abusive, but it can make people think that you are trying to appear as two separate people. This is problematic when doing reverts.

WWE PPV

 * Roadblock from March 2016 is included on the List of WWE Network events page. There are two seperate pages. One for shows that only aired on PPV and one for shows that aired on PPV AND the WWE Network. Roadblock from March 2016 did not air on PPV therefore it does not go on the List of WWE Pay-Per-View events page. OldSkool01 (talk) 20:07, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

WWE PPV

 * It doesn't matter what the WWE Network does or doesn't include in their PPV section. Bottom line is The Big Event and Royal Rumble '88 did not air on PPV at all. So it doesn't belong on the List of WWE Pay-Per-View events page. OldSkool01 (talk) 20:09, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

WWE Extreme Rules 2009
Hi, I noticed that you reverted the article List of WWE pay-per-view events

But unfortunately you have written wrong because the main event was announced between Jeff Hardy and Edge and at the end of the match, CM Punk cashed-in his  Money In The Bank with a match that was not announced before the event see

I hope I have been able to understand you and thank you

Yazan Kanbar (talk) 16:32, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi. On the List of WWE pay-per-view events and List of WWE Network events pages, we always go by the final match on the show as the main event, even if that match was not the most heavily advertised match leading into the event. That includes all PPVs where a last minute match took place, such as Money in The Bank cash-ins. There was a long discussion about this last year and the consensus was to always go with the final match. OldSkool01 (talk) 17:15, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

WWE Pay Per View Information
I have noticed that your information on the most pay-per-view matches is coming from an unreliable source. The site that is tracking that information is not going by the information on Wikipedia from past WWE events but instead by their own preferences. I have kept track of this information myself, starting with the first PPV (WrestleMania). I've kept track of every Superstar's win:Loss record through last night's Survivor Series event and can provide you with the correct information, as chronicled on Wikipedia. Thanks for your time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamtox31 (talk • contribs) 00:08, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Perhaps your information is correct, but it’s still your own original research, which is unfortunately not allowed on Wikipedia. IWDB is used all over Wikipedia as a source and unless you can find a more reliable source, then that’s the most accurate website where that information is listed.

WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament 2 has been officially announced. I have included it in the List of WWE Network events with source. Can you please check that everything is alright? And please don't reply with a huge essay like you did in other talks. TheBiz (talk) 07:21, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
 * The dates have been confirmed, but nowhere in your source does it mention airing on the WWE Network. With that said, there was a commercial over WrestleMania weekend advertising a “UK King Of The Ring” special coming up, which is most likely this same event, even though your source doesn’t mention King Of The Ring either. We’ll leave it on the list for now, pending any further announcements. Also I removed the link you made since that link leads to the page for last year’s UK Tournament.

Illegal IP reverts
Just want to thank you for reverting the unsourced junk on the List of WWE pay per view events. That IP range is also vandalising other pages, insisting on including a promotional link in a draft for Pro Wrestling Australia, insisting on adding Pro Wrestling Australia to the List of professional wrestling organisations in Australia against the rules of such lists and doing the same to the Pro Wrestling in Australia template (as well as claiming Pro Wrestling Women's Alliance is still active when they haven't held a show since 2013). Could you help keep an eye on this? I can't always be here to revert this rubbish. The page links are on the IP's contributions list.

Bothered by WWE inconsistency
I noticed that WWE's inconsistency bothers you almost as much as it does me. I got some of their errors fixed by contacting them on reddit and Twitter. Are you interested in getting more errors fixed?WrestlingLegendAS (talk) 00:21, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * WrestlingLegendAS, there’s a ton. The biggest ones are the inaccurate number of days on title reigns. Go look at most “List of [fill in the blank]] Champions”. There’s plenty of reigns where WWE recognizes 1 week title reigns as only 6 days or sometimes 8 days. And I’m not talking about instances where WWE waited for a taped match to air on TV before recognizing the change. I’m talking about changes, for example, where a new champion is crowned live on Raw and then that champion would lose the title exactly a week later on the next live Raw, which is 7 days, but for some reason WWE will count it as either 6 days or 8 days. There’s a bunch of inconsistencies like that. Too many to list. OldSkool01 (talk) 03:03, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi there OldSkool01 First of all thank you for your contributions to the WWE PPV page. I just wanted to let you know that there is an issue with the most PPV matches section.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. ''Same goes for the WWE Universal Championship article. You need to stop forcing your view onto the pages. It's 3-1 against you on the talk page. When that happens, to quote a great philosopher, you have to know when to hold 'em, and know when to fold 'em.

 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

WWE.com has articles all over it talking about the unification of the titles. Also, there has been no consensus reached on this topic. It’s 4 people having a conversation. I’ve provided a lot more proof to back up my side of this. You guys are the ones that are going by one source. Go look at the most recent post I made on the talk page.

Most pay-per-view matches

"Undid revision 1158882046 by TheAY1986 (talk) Even if you’re correct, that’s still OR. You need to provide a RS that has the correct numbers"

What do you mean with OR and RS?

I made my own list on my computer and the numbers differ significantly from those on the Wikipedia page:

- I found out, that IWDB lists WWE Global Warning Tour 2002 as a PPV, which bringst Randy Orton's PPV Matches to a total of 181. - IWDB lists all Dark and Pre-Show Matches as PPV-Match, but if you write in the article 'Only the actual pay-per-view matches are counted, no pre-show or dark matches', then the list must be adjusted. - We need to consider if the Networks exclusive events (i.e. the NXT events) should be included in the list, because they have an impact on Kofi Kingston's number of matches. Without them, Kofi only has 116. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheAY1986 (talk • contribs) 10:13, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * TheAY1986 OR means Original Research, which is exactly what you did by creating your own list. I’ve done my own original research many times for a ton of Wikipedia articles that have inaccurate information, but my research doesn’t count because unfortunately neither you nor I are considered RS (reliable sources). Here is a list of Wikipedia’s reliable sources as it pertains to pro wrestling. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Professional_wrestling/Sources OldSkool01 (talk) 16:12, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * OK thank you, I was not yet aware of this. But IWDB is listed under 'Limited reliable sources' and there stands: "Use with caution, mainly for uncontroversial claims such as the attendance of the event, as these sites do not have proven fact checking." and also "Only reliable for match results, and not for other BLP information." while for example, cagematch is listed under 'unproven sources' and listed 18 PPV Matches for Randy Orton:
 * Matches « Randy Orton « Wrestler-Datenbank « CAGEMATCH - The Internet Wrestling Database
 * So what should be done with it now? Would it then make more sense to leave out the category on this page? TheAY1986 (talk) 12:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * sry I mean 180 PPV Matches for Randy Orton TheAY1986 (talk) 12:23, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * No need to remove it. It’s been a part of the page for years. The only options there are is if we can find a RS that has the accurate PPV match stats, or try contacting IWDB, or another site that lists PPV matches, and ask them to correct it. OldSkool01 (talk) 15:41, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Ok, I would suggest the following as a solution:
 * We change the headline to 'Most pay-per-view and livestreaming supercard matches', remove the footnote that dark matches etc. are not counted and mention that there are conflicting sources in the data, or that the data may not be 100% accurate. (e.g. something like "The list refers to data from The Internet Wrestling Database and may differ from the actual number of matches.")
 * I think this is a good solution to the problem. I would also post the suggestion again on the talk page of the article. TheAY1986 (talk) 19:06, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at He-Man shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I’ve asked to see a list of He-Man related sites that are considered RS that can be used, but apparently no such list exists. I was even told to include an official Mattel site as a source, I did that, but nope, they decided that site is not good enough either. So where are the goal posts moved to now? OldSkool01 (talk) 20:16, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't really judge. There is one thing I've noticed, though, which may be worth pointing out. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1162537600 says "Doesn’t get more reliable than that" referring to an archived primary source. This seems to be at odds with WP:PSTS, so it's at very least reasonable to have a talk page discussion about the topic. Or perhaps an RfC even. If only the whole debate wasn't about something unimportant as a fictional superhero's biography... ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:27, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

This is, for example, because inaccurate information on these pages can ruin people's lives. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 20:40, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * On another note, I’m curious how I can be blocked for the 3RR rule when, and correct me if I’m wrong, I would have needed to make a revert 4 times in a 24 hour period in order to be blocked. If that is accurate, show me where the exact 24 hour window is where I made 4 reverts. OldSkool01 (talk) 20:50, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I haven't mentioned the three-revert rule anywhere. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:23, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

WWE Royal Rumble 2024 & WWE Crown Jewel 2023
dawg can you stop reverting the WWE Royal Rumble 2024 ppv/ple from the WWE ppvs wiki? it's getting annoying like go breathe air, also it ain't no mf conspiracy the royal rumble will always happen every year it ain't no rumor also if you use yo head and know some Math it's obvious that the event is gonna be on January 27, 2024, we def are close to the location reveal because they always reveal the city that the royal rumble is gonna be hosted at around this period of time, so stop removing it bro i just added the event then someone else or me is gonna make the Royal Rumble 2024 wiki and add it to the WWE ppvs wiki, and when the city and stadium/arena are reveal they are gonna add it as well. you also did this with Crown Jewel when it's obvious it's gonna be that event on November 4, like I said it no prediction it's just common sense, the WWE ain't gonna make a new Saudi Arabia show.

 * First off, I’m not the one that removed it last. You’re talking to the wrong guy. Look at the recent edit history. Second of all, just because something takes place at the same time every year, doesn’t mean it’s guaranteed to always take place at the same exact time. Look at SummerSlam for example. It’s been an August tradition since the beginning in 1988, and then last year for the first time it took place in July. Point being don’t list anything without including a reliable source that confirms it first. OldSkool01 (talk) 13:38, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * it has been confirmed by the news from Florida, but the city is still not confirmed nor the venue. WrestleLuxury Wiki (talk) 15:33, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Then provide the source that says it. Also, I saw your little comment about me when you reposted it. If you noticed, again, I’m not the one who reverted your edit. So go ahead and send that editor the same drawn out message you sent me. OldSkool01 (talk) 20:47, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
