SummerSlam (1993)[edit]

I've listed this article for peer review because I would like feedback on the article and what it would take to reach Good Article status.

Thanks,

Too many sources from messageboards. Messageboards are rarely ever considered reliable sources. TJ Spyke 23:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. I figured a couple of the sources might be a problem. I've started to replace them. Anything else that looked like it needed fixing? GaryColemanFan 00:50, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There...no more message board references. Anything else? GaryColemanFan 15:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have a solution to the reliable source problem. If you click here, it will show you a list of books that mention SummerSlam 1993 in them. Click the links to read the pages from the books mentioning the pay-per-view. Use this list to help source the info you already have, and you might be able to find some more good stuff in there, too. I'd do it myself, but I have a busy week ahead of me at school and don't have a lot of time to devote to Wikipedia for awhile. Good luck. I will be around, though, if you need me.

As I'm fairly new to Wikipedia, would someone be able to let me know which sources currently used in the article are considered unreliable? If I knew what to replace, I could get to work on it. Thanks. GaryColemanFan 23:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS is a good guideline in what is considered a reliable source and what isn't. If I get a chance, I will check out the individual sources in the article. I commend your effort in the article though and have to say it looks pretty good. TJ Spyke 02:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One other thing I've wondered is whether the events of the pay per view need sources. My gut reaction is that they do, but Wikipedia policy says that "If the subject of the article is a book or film or other artistic work, it is not necessary to cite a source in describing events or other details. It should be obvious to potential readers that the subject of the article is the source of the information." Does this apply to wrestling events? Obviously, a video of the PPV would prove the events. Is this, backed up with some reliable and some potentially questionable sources (that are verifiable by watching the event), adequate? I think this might be a hard sell during a Good Article review, though. At any rate, any help identifying which sources could be improved would help.
