Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Media of wrestling

Founding of Project
Hope this Project lives up to it's new hype. While I am a founding member, I will not be actively participating in the Project as I am leaving Wikipedia. Please direct any new questions here or to the co-founder Kingfisherswift. Thank you! M o e  ε  17:06, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Some pages to link to
Don't know where to put this, but two pages we should link to on this project are Jim Johnston (composer) (WWE's music director) and Dale Oliver (TNA's music composer). --JFred 17:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

OK, what we need is someone to design a template linking to this project, and stick it on the articles talk pages. I'll see if Master of Puppets is interested. Kingfisherswift 10:23, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Would {{WikiProject Professional wrestling} do?

Excellent, I'll remember you if I need a designer. Kingfisherswift 16:27, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Name change?
Can you change the WikiProject title to reflect the fact that it encompasses DVDs and books? We could also put Professional wrestling games under this project too. --Jtalledo (talk) 20:48, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You mean something along the lines of WikiProject Media of wrestling? --JFred 21:36, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I would go with that title too. It would help us avoid fuss with shortcuts. --Oakster (Talk) 21:44, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

WCW/ECW CDs
I know that the Music list is missing the CDs that WCW and ECW put out. I would add them, but I don't remember their exact titles or if there are pages for them. Also, since John Cena's album is listed, shouldn't Fozzy's albums? --JFred 03:57, 11 May 2006 (UTC) Smoltz 00:52, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Here's a list of wrestling realted albums that I should be added (including your suggestions and if they haven't been already created):
 * WWF Tough Enough Soundtrack (I & II)
 * WCW Slam-Jam
 * WCW Limited Edition Theme Songs
 * WCW Mayhem
 * ECW: Extreme Music
 * ECW Anarchy Rocks Extreme Music 2
 * "Be A Man" - Savage
 * I'll see if I could make Be A Man later this week. I need a laugh anyway. --Oakster (Talk) 21:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Subpage?
I'm thinking that we should create a subpage listing the various wrestling books, DVD's, CD's, movies, and so on. Maybe at WikiProject Media of wrestling/List of wrestling media, and create subsections on that page to seperate the various types of media. I know the music is listed on the project main page, but since there's so much different media, I think it will be too much for the main page. --JFred 19:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've created the list now. I'm not particularly sure about the criteria for what should be counted under films (comparing See No Evil with Kane as compared to Rocky III starring Hulk Hogan for example) so I could do with a little help there. --Oakster (Talk) 09:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)


 * The films you have listed there are good. I went around and added the MoW template to the talk pages of a bunch of articles that I feel should be included (video games, movies, books, DVD's and CD's), if that helps.  --JFred 09:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Shouldnt we add the WWE Action figures too? --Edraf 11:25, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Plan
OK, new plan. If anyone thinks of absolutely anything that is even remotely connected with this, can they add it? Yes, now we've included Games DVD's and books it will be bigger, but I have my doubts on the project having enough information for a whole project, and want to silence the critics. Kingfisherswift 12:00, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I added some entries. --Jtalledo (talk) 11:59, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

i added like 5 DVD articles. They're not perfect but, can be expanded

E-wrestling
Hi, I am going to be working on cleanup of the E-wrestling page. The Talk page lists this WikiProject as its parent, but I see no discussion of it here. Are you still interested in maintaining it within your project? --Roninbk t c # 10:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It is media of professional wrestling, so I guess we're inclined to have it as part of the project. Normy  132  10:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Sting: Moment of Truth
I'm working on adding some stuff to this page. I bought the DVD, and it's kind of bad, so why not use it for this site? :D Tenspeeder 23:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

No Mercy Uproar
Could I please have a link on the WWF No Mercy N64 game page to my forum. I know how difficult it is to find old codes so i have placed them all in a database, this is also the home of the Monday Night War game save.

Project Directory
Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing WikiProject Council/Directory. These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages:
 * User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory,
 * User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
 * User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
 * User:Badbilltucker/Science directory

and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you. B2T2 21:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry if you tried to update it before, and the corrections were gone. I have now put the new draft in the old directory pages, so the links should work better. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused you. B2T2 00:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 16:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Shawn Michaels: Boyhood Dream Question
I just created the Shawn Michaels: Boyhood Dream article, but on match four, on the back of the DVD cover it says Shawn Michaels had a match with Sycho Sid at In Your House, but these two never had a match at IYH, so does anybody know the correct date? Kris Classic 18:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

The Best of the IC Title DVD?
Who decided to delete this article? Kris Classic 16:14, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Ring Of Honor DVDs
Have just joined as a new member. Have created two articles on Ring Of Honor DVDs[]: (The Best Of Christopher Daniels Volume 2 and Third_Anniversary_Celebration_Part_2) in the format of match listings plus background information. Hoping this is a useful contribution, RoH is somewhat unrepresented currently! Suriel1981 17:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Wrestling magazines??
Having spent a little while expanding and tidying up Power Slam's page I was wondering if wrestling magazines would be part of the media this Project looks at? Suriel1981 01:55, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Why exactly does this project exist?
Lots of sports and entertainment has media: I see no media projects for them. Why does wrestling need to be the exception? I think it's a bit redundant, when there is a pro wrestling project already. All wrestling related articles should be under that. For certain sports projects: there isn't special projects for media (that I know of at least). Projects indeed have related ones... but this one seems a bit too broad. DVD's, music and so on, can easily be discussed at the wrestling project only. Also, considering the talk page isn't even very active... it doesn't seem like people are even interested in this much anymore. I'm tempted to put it in miscellenea for deletion. RobJ1981 02:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you - I think this may have been an error. However, why isn't there a sports media project? I think we should shut this down and start a project for all sports media in general. Any thoughts? к1иg  f1$н   £я5ω1fт  17:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

That's a good idea, however I do have a concern that a general sport media project might be prohibitively large in scope. Also a concern that pro-wrestling isn't a legitimate sport and might not be taken seriously by other sports fans. I do like the idea though. Suriel1981 01:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of DVD article debate
Inviting anyone to come to Third_Anniversary_Celebration_Part_2 and give your opinions regarding proposed deletion of 3 DVD articles within our scope. Suriel1981 08:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Template
Just so you guys know, I changed the MoW template so that now tagged articles will go into the WikiProject Pro Wrestling categories and can be evaluated. Just thought I;d give people a heads up so that they know. -- Scorpion 17:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

New and Improved DX DVD
The New and Improved DX DVD has been proposed for deletion.PepsiPlunge 23:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Merger
Would you all care if WP:PW ate this project? There really isn't a reason for the 2 to be separate. --  The  Hyb  rid  09:06, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
