Wikiproject[edit]

Hello Essexmutant, Im SWD316. I would like to invite you to join the Professional wrestling Wikiproject because of your excellant contributions to pro wrestling related articles. All you have to do to join is add your name to the list of members. Hope you join! — Moe ε 20:08, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits[edit]

I found some errors inside your edits on the Previous World Wrestling Entertainment roster. You added the release of the same superstar twice and you added a few names you added that are still under contract. I'm going to list the edits here so you see them:

Ricky Steamboat - is still under contract, needs to be removed so his name isn't listed twice when he is released.
Arn Anderson - see Ricky Steamboat
Dusty Rhodes - see Ricky Steamboat
Hulk Hogan - listed under 1993 and 2003; only need one release listed, the latest one being in 2003.
Davey Boy Smith - listed under 1988 and 2000; only need one; latest one being 2000.
Rick Rude - listed under 1990 and 1997; only need one; latest being in 1997.
Dustin Rhodes - listed under 1991 and 2003; only need one; latest being 2003.

This list was not intended to insult you or anything, I thought would let you know of your errors. — Moe ε 17:51, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

True, to some extent. Some wrestlers were best remembered as the years they were last there, but the list is supposed to signify the last time they were employed to WWE. Also, the Gobbeldygooker and Blue Meanie WERE under contract. WWE gave them short-term contracts as they do most wrestlers, and if they "get over" with the fans they give them a contract extension, but they didn't. Pamela Anderson, Leslie Nielsen, Mohammed Ali and Cyndi Lauper never had a contract; hence they are not on the list. Thanks for the response. — Moe ε 00:03, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Pat Tanaka was released from his contract in 1992, not 1994. Even though he made an appearance. Please, if you can, go back to see if you did this with any other wrestlers. The list should tell when thier contract was terminated or expired. An example would be The Rock. He was released on December 31, 2004, but since then he has made several appearances but he would listed under 2004, not his last appearance.

Sorry you feel there is a double-standard there. I was just trying to make an EXACT AND ACCURATE list of when wrestlers were released from thier contracts. This goes back to my last statement. Pat Tanaka was released in 1992. NOT 1993 or 1994. Even though he made appearances, like The Rock, he has been released since then. The mention of the Gobbeldygooker was unnessecary. He WAS contracted for appearances but was, after that one PPV, released. He had a contract and it was terminated. Pat Tanaka's contract expired in 1992. That's when he should be listed. — Moe ε 20:36, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Previous WWE Roster[edit]

Hi there Essexmutant, it's Moe Epsilon. I came here to discuss the "few mistakes" on the Previous World Wrestling Entertainment roster list. Yes all of those you listed on the talk page were mistakes. Except one. George Steele, he didn't have a contract renewal in the WWE after his previous release. He only made, maybe 4 at the most, appearances with The Oddities and then was never to appear again. Thanks for finding those mistakes! — Moe ε 21:07, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Poker Nicknames[edit]

Do you mind if I create re-directs on your poker player nicknames form your poker player pages? - Super Mario

No problem matey. Good idea. Essexmutant 22:55, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re-directed most of them, some nicknames did not seem right to have a re-direct a poker player, thanks for letting me do them. - Super Mario

Cool. Can you let me know which ones were added, just so I can keep them on my watchlist? Cheers. Essexmutant 15:54, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I re-directed the following: Tony Bloom, Garry Bush, Dave Colclough, Harry Demetriou, Peter Evans, Gary Jones, Lucy Rokach, Charalambos Xanthos, Pascal Perrault, Roy Brindley, Martin De Knijff, Layne Flack, Micheal Mizrachi, and Steve Zolotow. Give me some ideas for the others that could have a re-direct for their nickname, like John Kabbaj, Willie Tann, Simon Trumper, Bruno Fitoussi, Liam Flood, and Hoyt Corkins. Thanks. - Super Mario

Hi there, sorry I haven't checked my Talk in a while. Not sure if you'd noticed, but Brindley and Flack don't appear to have redirects. I imagine Kabbaj can be redirected from Large, Tann and Flood can be redirected from an extra line at the top of The Dice Man and Gentleman, Trumper can be redirected from Ace (disambiguation), Fitoussi can be added to King, and Corkins can be added to Cowboy (disambiguation). I have also added a few other players recently - check the list of players at User:Essexmutant#Poker-related for a complete list. Essexmutant 15:17, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Italics on poker players' nicknames[edit]

Hi, thanks for the message. It's not general practice to italicise nicknames (see Nat King Cole for example), but I'm happy to let this one go if this is normal practice in the poker world. Martpol 17:33, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kirill Gerasimov[edit]

This article really needs some sources, especially since the article quotes a lot of figures. I noticed that you created it. Please provide the sources. Thanx. TheRingess 09:15, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have added external links that should cover all of this. Cheers. Essexmutant 09:40, 28 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User poker vs. Template:User Poker[edit]

The template you created is redundant to {{user poker}} at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Hobbies. Would you consider renaming it to Template:User PokerLegend or some such? 1001001 04:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, hadn't realised. Now changed as requested. Essexmutant 07:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar[edit]

I award you this barnstar for your excellent contributions to poker articles on Wikipedia. File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 05:09, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After seeing your name on yet another poker article's history page, I thought it was time you had a barnstar for your efforts. None of them seemed all that relevant to poker, so I've gone for the original one. File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 05:09, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you good sir! Essexmutant 10:39, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Admin[edit]

You seem to speak wisely on AFD. I'd be willing to nominate you for adminship if you feel you are ready for it. --kingboyk 17:13, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. I was considering nominating myself in the future, but was going to wait till it had been 6 months since my first edit. Please feel free to nominate me though. Essexmutant 17:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is 6 months the norm? If so maybe best to wait and give me a shout then? --kingboyk 17:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks mate. As per the e-mail I sent to you, we can wait till 22nd January then go for it. Cheers! Essexmutant 18:00, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Hendon Mob[edit]

Why's you remove the links for the individual players? They may eventually be notable enough to have their own pages, and then the links will have to be restored. I don't get why you would remove them. Linkspro 04:03, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My only feeling was that having the links missing made the article looked messy and incomplete because they were so high up on the page. To be honest, they should probably each be separate articles. Essexmutant 10:18, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Update: articles now created for Joe Beevers, Barny Boatman, Ross Boatman and Ram Vaswani. Essexmutant 13:45, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Barnstar of Life[edit]

The Barnstar of Life may be awarded to an editor who makes particularly fine Life-related contributions; I have poker related articles on my watchlist and see how much effort you put into that area. You well and truly deserve this one. Great contributions, thanks. --Alf ^melmac 15:45, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Alf! Essexmutant 15:55, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem![edit]

Yeah I am going through some of the player articles and linking to the specific WSOP articles. You are doing very good work. Poker is big enough now that it deserves high quality articles. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 12:38, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I created a World Series of Poker category. I will work on getting all of the tourney results put into it. I am also going to make sure we have redirects for the all of the years, like "1979 World Series of Poker" redirecting to World Series of Poker, 1979. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 14:42, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Thanks for your help. Essexmutant 14:47, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done! :) Tonight I will start a cat for bracelet winners. We already have one for main event winners. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 15:29, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you going to categorise it as WSOP Preliminary Event Bracelet winners alone, to differentiate between that and Main Event winners, or will you do it purely as bracelet winners and make Main Event winners a subcategory? Essexmutant 15:31, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I made Main Event winners a subcat of bracelet winners. If you disagree, you can always change it. I won't object. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 09:47, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an article you can add to[edit]

Proposition bet. I was really surprised that we didn't have an article on that. --Woohookitty^{(cat scratches)} 17:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. I'll have a think about it this week and see what I can add. Essexmutant 17:41, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Poker WikiProject[edit]

I've been thinking about setting up a poker WikiProject. You seem to do more work on poker articles than anyone: do you think we'd have enough people who'd be interested to make it worthwhile? File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 14:27, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be up for getting involved and helping you found this. I've created over 100 (probably about 150) poker articles that should really be covered by such a WikiProject. The closest there is currently is a WikiProject for Las Vegas, which only really covers the WSOP. Other people who contribute a lot include 2005 and Woohookitty. Super Mario and Alf would also be good to have on board. Anything I can do to help, please let me know. Essexmutant 16:43, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Casino games[edit]

I saw that you were interested in poker from you joining the LV project. I changed the format of the games in Casino game. Asas result, it seems to make ense to group the poker games together. As someone who may be more versed in poker what do you think? I suspect that when you look at that list, you will see many common casino versions are missing and meed to be added. Looking forward to seeing what changes you make, if any. Vegaswikian 19:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll have a look at it tomorrow. Essexmutant 21:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hemish Shah[edit]

I worked it out from the Victoria Coren article that's linked from the page. It gives his age and his birthday, and I had the date of his death so I worked it out from that. I'll move the article to a References section seeing as I've used it as one. File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 15:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Poker[edit]

I had plenty of positive feedback, so I've set up a project at Wikipedia:WikiProject Poker. It's a bit bare at the moment, so please be bold and add anything that you think should be in there and put any suggestions on the talk page. Also, please add yourself to the table in the Participants section. Thanks, File:Yemen flag large.png CTOAGN (talk) 19:51, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added myself. Will investigate further during the week. Good work matey. Essexmutant 22:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that rv. I meant to revert this change [1], and I must have screwed up. My apologies. jdb ❋ (talk) 07:39, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

V - blurbs needed[edit]

Would you be willing to help me with the character bust out pages by writing blurbs for the various groups (The Resistance, The Visitors, The Collaborators, and The Fifth Column)? Lady Aleena 23:00, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the offer. I haven't watched the show in a couple of years, so my memory may be a bit hazy at times. I think I would be better at expanding the articles once created than starting the articles from scratch. Hope this helps. Essexmutant 11:09, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adminship[edit]

Hi mate, I've decided it wouldn't be best for me to nominate since a) I don't know you very well and b) I'm not an admin myself. I'd happily support you, though, so give me a shout if anything happens. --kingboyk 22:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
