Short-form ref
That is not a "gimped half-assed ref", it's what known as a shortened or short-form reference. Since I cite that speech several times, the short-form refs allow me to present the full citation once and then refer to it with the shortened form to produce an easier to read footnote list. WP:CITESHORT has a better explanation of the concept. Donkey Kong (video game) is a good example of an FA that uses it to great effect. As for the alt text, perhaps I am wrong. I've seen comments at FAC about problems with Accessibility and it was my understanding that we needed to have that text to comply with that guideline. If I'm wrong, please show me.  Pagra shtak  20:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's not citing a web page, it's citing a speech that happens to have a transcript on the web available. If a long-form ref were to be there, it should be Cite speech instead of Cite web. The examples given at CITESHORT may not include web pages or speeches, but there is nothing that should restrict the use of shortened references a particular set of media. It's intended to be used when helpful and not used when not helpful. This is a case where we save a lot of redundant typing by using it.  Pagra shtak  20:35, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * On the subject of alt text/captions, at ACCESSIBILITY, 1. says that images should have alt text, and 2. says that images should have captions. The way I read that, having a caption alone is not sufficient.  Pagra shtak  20:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Some one raised a question about that inconsistency on the talk page, but it looks like it hasn't been resolved in the actual guideline, unfortunately. Regarding the short ref, if I linked the short ref to the long with the method described at Citing sources/Further considerations, would that change your mind? I really don't want to have to repeat "Aonuma, Eiji. "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Reflections in the Hourglass" Game Developers Conference 2007 (March 11, 2008). Retrieved on 12 September 2008." seven times in the reference section.  Pagra shtak  20:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * By the way, I've left a message at Wikipedia talk:Accessibility pointing out the inconsistencies regarding the need for alt text/captions. Hopefully someone who knows more than I do about accessibility can get this all fixed. I honestly don't know what the right answer is here, I'm just trying to follow the guidelines the best I can.  Pagra shtak  21:20, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm familiar with multiple calls to footnotes. What I'm talking about would look like this:

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Nice job on the article so far. However, I don't think it's ready; I was planning on working on it (I submitted it to FAC last time and wanted to bring the article to FA level for the topic), as it still has issues since the last FAC which are still there. If you don't mind, I'd suggest withdrawing it, then I'd like to spend some time working on it. After a little while, it can be renominated. The article still needs work, especially for such a great game, but it can definitely be brought up to much better standards. Here's one of my recently promoted FAs: The Simpsons Game. Cheers!

Destination X
Destination X (2008) is currently underconstruction and I don't go by what they are best known by, I go by consistency. The discussion was the user's choice. I've been expanding the article.-- Will C  21:56, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry if the above makes me sound like an ass.-- Will C  22:00, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * People like James Storm are still not known world wide. That is what the Hogan or HBK thing is. They are known world wide by certain names. People wouldn't know who James Black or James Storm is. It doesn't make a difference in that case. That is what commonname has to do with it.-- Will C  22:03, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

It worked with Lockdown probably someone who likes art and doesn't understand what wrestling is will probably still not know who HBK or maybe Sting is, though they probably know about Hogan considering the crap he and his family have done lately. I agree that sometimes it should be commname but on cases where people wouldn't know the difference I disagree. Triple H is hard one to figure out but one like Chris Sabin is easy. Though he has used Sabin more than any other name, people still don't know who he is; Chris Sabin or Joshua Harter is not far apart to an art enthusiast. I'll use commanme on Sting, or anyone else who is a very big name, but other than that I disagree. Mainly for consistency which FA reviews have problems with and I plan to take all of the 2008 articles to FA.-- Will C  22:12, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough.

I just figured since they are tight with NJPW, and they previously acknowledged those titles, that the same thing would happen here.

TNAWrestling.com however did acknowledge them winning those titles in Japan, so does that count for anything?

Re: VG Chartz
How does VG Chartz make up their data? The weekly/monthly sales may be inaccurate there, but once the actual numbers come out, they update it. Their data older than a month are totally reliable, so why delete the reference? Also it's useless sticking with "as of november 2007" or "as of january 2008" sales data than don't mean anything in the total numbers anymore. Lestermann (talk) 22:59, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

"They SOMETIMES fix their numbers, but not always. They also provide no proof of the accuracy of their numbers or where they get their information from (see the Fatal Frame IV article, the last sales numbers released for it are from August. So there is no way VGC has more recent sales numbers). The very few times they are right (which is very rare), there are more reliable sites with the info. TJ Spyke 23:11, 14 January 2009 (UTC)"

Pay real attention to sales records on Fatal Frame IV there... yes it's been updated past August. You can see the usual "fist ten weeks" and the total has gone on counting past that. If one doesn't know all about VG Chartz system, the least one could say is that they updated it in October, since July 31st (date of game release) + 10 weeks = October. Lestermann (talk) 23:52, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

My response
The reason I didn't source it when I added is because at the time I couldn't link to the specific page where it was, so I had to wait. Perhaps next time you could give me a little credit and think "maybe there's a reason why a user who usually sources what he adds didn't add a source." I'm curious, another user added the exact same thing to the season 20 page, why didn't you revert him? -- Scorpion 0422  02:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * I just checked TNA's website and no match is placed for Against All Odds. They could have decided to change it.-- Will C  03:43, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Lets wait and see. TNA had to change alot of things Monday because of injuries. They might place on Impact to fill time next week. Lets wait til they have it on the website. Also watch out for the dumb rumor that TNA and WWE are joining together which is impossible because of Panda Energy.-- Will C  03:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I as well. When they do announce it officially, don't place it in the table. It is only needed after the event but people want to force it before the event takes place on the WWE events. It is easier to edit with bullet points. I don't know who could be dumb enough to think they would be merging at all because of possible hard times for TNA when they survived their first year which was the hardest.-- Will C  03:57, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Re:RR09
I sense some hostility here. You may have been "editing" PPV articles before me but I am more skilled in writing PPV's. Its The Brian Kendrick because his name is not just Brian Kendrick anymore, and that's why we pipelink his name with "The" in it because he has a new name. If it were the opposite, then The Undertaker would just be Undertaker (wrestler).-- Tru co  23:15, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but its the correct way. -- Tru co  23:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Why is your opinion greater than mines? So as I see it, you're just lazy to pipe link the wikilink. If The Undertaker was, and it was to be pipelinked to , then you would want it "your way" and leave it as The Undertaker, which is not correct. -- Tru co  23:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Man you are very hostile, you always want it your way. Yes, it says the same thing, but his proper name should be linked, which includes "The", which is why I refer you back to The Undertaker's name.-- Tru co  23:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well then read WP:THE and WP:PIPE, for my reasonings.-- Tru co  23:47, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That is completely different, that would be like .-- Tru co  00:09, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, per WP:THE, it states that the article name should have "The" if its the official name and not just added there to like The United States. So, it would be proper to rename the article if he used the name longer, but per WP:COMMONNAME he is mostly known as Brian Kendrick. According to WP:PIPE, redirects should not be piped because they can be made into subpages, but because they are the same person, this doesn't apply, so its necessary to add "The" to the link. In response to yours, the 3 letter word "The" does not make the link longer, so that can't apply to that point you pointed out.-- Tru co  00:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * (outdent)I never said it wasn't, it just not as long as an extra term added there like "President" or "WWE Champion". In reality, both are correct, but seeing how it's his official name, it should be linked, but I'm tired of fighting over this, so if you want it your way, whatever dude.-- Tru co  00:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I really don't care anymore, since there are variations, write it to your liking.-- Tru co  00:48, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

WWE championship
I changed that cause vacated reigns aren't supposed to be counted and also the "-" would make the vacant reigns more noticeable on the tables. I'm fine with your way as long as every championship history table is the same. The reigns column is kinda pointless (and confusing) as a sortable column anyway.

common name
You are taking common name too seriously. That rule only effects people who are widely known, like Hogan. Not people like James Storm. What is the problem with the name is parenthesis?-- Will C  21:04, 18 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Your idea contradicts the out of universe style, which does not cater to a wrestling fan. A person who reads about science and decides to learn about wrestling would not know who Allen Jones or A.J. Styles is so common name only refers to people that are widely know. i.e. the common name. Hulk Hogan is more a common name than Terry Bollea. And to go by common name you would have to add the Phenomenal A.J. Styles because that is a most common name he uses and people refer to him as such. What is the problem with adding the real names? Everywhere I go you are removing the real names for no reason. You could take Victory Road 04 to FAC and people would wonder why it is not consistent and who is A.J. Styles.-- Will C  00:14, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, I opened a discussion to settle this once and for all. Hopefully a guideline and can be made because James Storm isn't even known by most wrestling fans in the first place. I'm about the leave anyway, I was just getting on to make sure Victory Road is not under review. In the end I believe it should only be used for big names that most know, not just an indy wrestler who has used the name for a few years.-- Will C  00:29, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

"Any championship they choose"
This isn't accurate. No one "chose" a championship up until 2004. From 1993 to 2002, there was only one championship (hence, the removal of "choice"). In 2003, Lesnar simply fought Angle for SmackDown's belt. In 2004, Benoit "exercised his choice" to decide which champion he wanted to face. It's right on the 2004 Rumble page.
