Well I disagree because I've been expanding the TNA PPVS and with the new archives I have found on Good sourced wrestling sites soon there will be many more TNA PPVs with their own articles. Also almost every ppv this year in TNA has it's own page. There are a grand total of 23 TNA PPVs that are made into one page. There are only 49 ppvs under TNA braner. Almost half. Soon there will be more than half. I'm right now working Destination X (2008), Lockdown (2008), Sacrifice (2008), Slammiversary (2008) and Victory Road (2008). Soon I'll be working on Against All Odds 2008, Final Resolution 2008, Turning Point 2007, Genesis 2007, and Bound for Glory (2007). I feel since TNA PPVs are being expanded these are useful in the same way as WWE's. Now you said to keep The Lockdown Template as well as Slammiversary and Bound for Glory. Well the Lockdown Template was deleted by him. Does this mean it is alright to recreate it?--WillC 00:27, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I'll take a look. I've started to work on Lockdown 08 the most, it is in my Sandbox. I haven't placed many references and I haven't wrote the rest of the Event section yet but it seems okay. I've also started on Sacrifice 08 and it is in my other Sandbox. I have been meaning to work on Destination X 08 but just haven't. Been busy with Lockdown since I want that at GA status. I guess I'll go make Template:Lockdown again. Just to be clear, since I'm slow, are any of the TNA PPV templates to be deleted?--WillC 01:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I understand. Good luck on the articles. If you need any sources for iMPACT! results or PPV results I have probably near 20 sites that have that sort of info. That I think is reliable. I found them in other articles on here.--WillC 01:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I looked at Slammiversary in your sandbox. It is good. Reads okay. You've done better than I would have. I didn't see any mistakes.--WillC 20:36, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Can you block this account? He has been adding unverified information continuesly into the Leon White article for a while now without citing a reference of where he got his information. I confronted him several times about adding a source of a name he keeps adding in the article, he replied none of them are sourced and readd the name back, I reverted and stated they indeed had a source, which I gave him the link to and his response was nothing but a personal attack for actually having a reference for the other names, and then proceeded to readd the unverified information. I'm not here as much, so I don't have the time to mess around with this person. Thank you, — Moeε 02:09, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't notice this before, but apparently this new account also has a history of vandalism to articles. You can take that for what it's worth. — Moeε 02:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Re: GAB
I don't mind at all. ;) I'm assuming you want the feuds, right? Anyways sure, do you think I can get the Batista and Mr. Kennedy feud at least? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 14:40, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know you too well. ;) True, but I know I'll find something. Do you think you can write the Event? Cause, you know me. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 18:11, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, now I'm done. Do you want me to fix the Event for SS '06 now? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:50, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I've re-written "half" of the Event, but don't worry, I'll continue working on it. ;) Anyways, are you gonna write the Undertaker/Khali/Big Show feud? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I noticed that your gonna be gone in a couple of days. ;) Anyways, um yeah I think we should work on Armageddon and then maybe the other articles we started and never finished. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 20:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but I nominated the above article for GA, because Nikki told me to nominate articles that have been on the waiting list for over a week if I addressed concerns raised by reviewers, and this one was on the WL for over a week, like I said before, I will not take credit for the articles.--SRX--LatinoHeat 23:14, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ouch that hurts.lol But ok, I wont, I wont do that again, it's just that so many of them were on the waiting list for about a month.--SRX--LatinoHeat 02:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, and many of them weren't ready.SRX--LatinoHeat 02:50, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Vince?
Is McMahon really hurt or is it another stupid scheme like the one he pulled last June? Altenhofen (talk) 04:10, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question?
Just so I don't screw up. I'm near done with Lockdown now. I have all the references in but a few. Now I'm placing pictures. I found a few pictures from the event and I was wondering if you could tell me if they're okay. here--WillC 22:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
TNA PPV templates were deleted.
All the templates were deleted including the Lockdown, Bound for Glory, and Slammiversary templates. What do I do? Also I had a link to them in the TNA PPV template. Gave a good reason on why they shouldn't have been deleted. This is starting to piss me off since they were suppose to be waiting 7 days before being deleted.--WillC 08:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have replied at Will's talk page. Best to keep discussion in one place if you feel like commenting. Cheers, « Gonzo fan2007(talk ♦ contribs) @ 08:51, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To new and even more interesting projects, of course!
As announced in the newsletter, I've been preparing to co-coordinate a large collaboration/competition called Around the World. It was going to be run at the Awards Center, but since that no longer exists, the collaboration will be hosted somewhere else.
Around the World will begin July 15th as planned - it's location will be announced soon.
It'll be a blast. In the competition, participants will be helping to develop over 200 pages (drafts, which will be moved to article space once they are ready), using advanced tools to edit every single one of them!
This is going to be interesting.
And the event shall have awards which are being created specifically for it as we speak!
If you would like me to keep you informed of this and other interesting collaborations I'll be working on and/or organizing in the future, please drop me a note on my talk page, and I'll be happy to keep you in the know.

I need your feedback...
Which of the following medals looks better. This one:
If everything goes according to plan, it will begin on July 15th.
The event is being co-sponsored by Wikiproject Lists of basic topics and WikiProject Geography, and participants will be "traveling" all around "the World" visiting each country online (here on Wikipedia and perhaps beyond) as they apply advanced wiki-tools to improve pieces of the profiles of each and every country on Earth!. Each pass through these pages is a "trip around the World..."
Each page presents essential information on each country in a topic outline format, for ease of overviewing and navigating. Most of the topics presented are linkified, which turns these pages into a hypertextual map to material about each country on Wikipedia. When completed, they shall all become part of Wikipedia's contents system.
The pages share a standard format, with the information on each country presented in the same general order. So rather than getting stuck on a single country trying to complete it, each participant works on all 200+ political entities, completing a single data item or detail across all of the pages!
For this they use advanced tools like WP:AWB, Linky, etc. It goes fast, and since others are doing this at the same time, it makes "the World" feel like a beehive, and the participants are its bees. :) The energy is contagious.
And since you are moving from country to country, the tasks make it feel like you are traveling around the world, and you get to learn a little about every country as you do so.
This approach also allows for greater efficiency, because by the time you've done 30 or so of a particular item, you've figured out how to finish it faster and more effectively (such as where to find the data or how to make adjustments), and this specialization speeds up development - but more importantly it reduces errors.
The tasks are varied, which adds even more variety to the project. Some tasks are look-ups-and-fill-ins, some are copy and paste, some are image hunts, some are maintenance adjustments, some are link fixing, some are blue-linking (creating an underlying redirect so a link turns blue), some are fact checking, etc.
For an example of what a nearly complete page looks like, see these:
During the collaboration, co-coordinators will be standing by, to lend a helping hand to participants, provide instruction and tips on how to use the tools, and help them find what they are looking for. Co-coordinators will also be using advanced tools to inspect the work of participants, and touch it up as needed, or if a task was done wrong throughout, point this out to the participant so he or she can make the necessary corrections.
Co-coordinators are working on the set of pages right now, to familiarize themselves with "the World" so they can help more effectively by the time the main event starts. But there's still lots of preparation left to be done, and we are looking for editors experienced in advanced wikitools who would like to become co-coordinators.

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome back
OMG, welcome back. I missed you. ;) How was your break? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:29, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lucky you, at least you got a break. ;) I'm so jealous. Did you get my response? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:33, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Back to business, are we still working on the Bash? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You know now that I think of it, can I work on the Aftermath, since its still fresh in my memory? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will work on that, after I'm done reviewing articles. I haven't received it. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be sure, are you talking about your Hotmail one? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:42, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, do you mind if DMN helps us with the Bash? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 02:20, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, tell him that. He's gonna work with us next week, if that's cool with you. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 02:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, but you better speak up when we need to start working on our tasks. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 16:37, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting articles
Hi, I've noticed User:Aducci have been creating a lot of articles on mixed martial artists with this tool that pulls info from Sherdog and makes an article out of it. The problem is that many of the persons are not at all notable, so my question is how should I deal with it? I've been going through the unassessed pages in the MMA-project and assessing them, and up till now I've just placed the prod-template on them, but would it be better to request speedy deletion (after CSD A7) as I tried on Marcelo Mello? Thanks in advance! - Aktsu (talk) 23:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! I've tagged a few already. Do they look OK to you? Thought I'd check before sending more your way :P - Aktsu (talk) 00:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, there's a lot of them and I'm trying to only tag the obvious ones.. I'll just put a prod on the others. Most of them are people with actually quite a lot of fights but in pretty unknown organizations, and I don't see a reason for including them simply because no-one will keep the articles up-to-date. Thanks for taking the time to delete! - Aktsu (talk) 00:53, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
CSD A7
Please do not delete the articles of professional athletes under this criteria anymore -- for one, declaring that one has competed at a professional level is an assertion of notability, and second, it is explicitly spelled out in WP:BIO that professional athletes or exceptionally performing amateur athletes are inherently notable. If you're going to work in a certain area, I suggest you make yourself familiar with the community's practices before taking any action. east.718at 06:39, July 9, 2008
This really isn't a matter of debate, as proper grammar tells you that when there is more than one occurance of something, they should be put in a plural form. The tables have more than one time, stipulation and result, thus the headers should be plural, not singular. I would appriciate it if you didn't go making drastic errors in grammar like this and go back and fix these please. — Moeε 19:05, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey LAX, before Backlash gets reviewed, I suggest you replace all of the 411mania.com references, as it was proven un-reliable, and may come up in the GA review. Good luck with the nomination. Also, you should archive your talk page. lol.-- iMatthewT.C. 01:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I knew I commented about it at one article's talk page. Sorry, man. I didn't realize it was this one. Cheers, -- iMatthewT.C. 01:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Today, just let me make some changes on Shawn's article and I'll work on the Aftermath. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't find much, just the fact that Kennedy "replaced" Mark Henry in his match with Batista. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:55, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OMG, I forgot how to write a PPV. :( Hey, does this ---> "Following the Great American Bash, a rematch between King Booker and Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship took place. The match saw King Booker retain, after interference from Chavo Guerrero", make sense? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I have written right now, but, it seems short to me. IDK. I'll go on, I guess. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:54, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, do you think you can write the Aftermath for Chavo and Rey, since you did write SS'07 and you know that history. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 22:23, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, cool. I don't know if you've seen Booker and Batista's feud, for the aftermath. Should it be expanded more or what? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:22, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I will. ;) Now, I'm working on Matt Hardy and Gregory Helms' feud. Any other feuds to look for? For the aftermath. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks good. ;) Its better than my start for the Hardy and Helms feud. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:05, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good job, it reminds me the start of SS'07. ;) Maybe after the Bash '06 is done, we can work on Bash '05... -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 20:03, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So true, I guess we're gonna have to work on hard to finish the Bash '06. ;) I hope that doesn't sound like I'm rushing you. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 20:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
????
how do you look at/edit deleted pages T.C. 04:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi welcome back
Hi welcome back. I have a question, is it possible to make Template:TNAPPV like Template:WWEPPV? So the TNA Templates can be used.--WillC 00:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, because I tried and couldn't get it to work right, though I didn't know what I was doing. It would help because the Templates don't really do anything just sitting around. It would be better if the PPV templates worked with the main one.--WillC 01:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
SummerSlams
Hey LAX, long time not talk man. I hope you can convert the in-universe style into out-of-universe style of writing for SummerSlam (2007). I would like to do the same with SummerSlam (2003), because I think it is written sort of similarly to SS'07. Hopefully we can get these to FA standards. Another thing that we can add is the reception, so I was thinking doing the reception similar to the reception done in video game articles like it is done here and here, what you think?--SRX 22:12, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lets see if we can accomplish this. --SRX 22:18, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, good thing I went to the FA Reviewer, I was just tired of PPV's failing FAC's.--SRX 22:22, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Now that's what I call "Out-of-universe", I think its also best to explain before the feuds in the lead about the brands, and how they are "brands of wrestling" for WWE to better get an out of universe explanation of what "brands" mean. Also, do you think we should explain that "pinfall" is one of the ways to win?SRX 23:37, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So what should it read like? SRX 00:27, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about, via pinfall, a victory condition that is met by holding an opponent's shoulders on the wrestling mat for a prescribed period of time. or something like that.SRX 00:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That looks great. But where are you going to put it? Also, that should go into the MoS for WP:PW.SRX 01:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
How about now? May I also suggest archiving your talk page?--SRX 02:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Length doesn't really matter as long as it covers the main points.--SRX 06:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, then. Um, would it be cool if I asked Truco to help out write the Bash '06 event? That's, if he says yes, though. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, he hasn't accepted, so let's see. :) Hey, did you get my "text" message. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:17, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, would it be bad if a PPV had two images of the same person? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sort of. Cause, I was "thinking" of adding the image of Orton as WWE Champion in the Aftermath section of Unforgiven..... You get my point? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:55, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OMG, what didn't I think of that? Thanks, I'll do that right now. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:59, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I want your opinion; is the image of Triple H and Orton good in the Aftermath? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I will review it now. :)SRX 03:06, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Backlash (2004) is currently On hold. Comments can be found here (Sorry, thats my "automated" GA review message lol)SRX 03:30, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I responded to that main concern over there.SRX 11:43, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good work with Backlash it passed, man its hard writing PPV's in non-fiction.SRX 01:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OMG! Me 2, I can't stop using that. That's gonna come up at FAC, about repetition. The event is especially hard 2.--SRX 01:15, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No silly, that has been done quite a while now. A certain Unforgiven PPV that we decided to stop working on. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:17, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, the feud, for the aftermath, between Stone Cold/Bischoff and Shane McMahon/Kane weren't finished. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm done with SummerSlam (2003), just cant seem to get more news about the reception. How does it look?SRX 22:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I responded to the GA Review again.SRX 17:14, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have a question for you, I believe I'm suppose to ask a administrator about getting rollback rights if I'm right. If that is true do I qualify for getting them?--WillC 03:16, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, I probably have every PPV article and almost everyone of the wrestler articles that are in TNA and WWE in my watchlist so I usually know about almost every bit of vandalism that goes on. I was afraid to ask since the other day I got blocked for moving back an article to its original name without consensus and I thought the block would play a factor it the decision.--WillC 05:09, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually to tell you the truth I was told by a few users that I was right in moving it back. It was me, 1362, and Gavyn Sykes trying to get a guy who kept moving Matt Sydal to his real name without a consensus. I was just helping out them two.--WillC 05:31, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I'm working on the TNAPPV template to work like the WWEPPV template. I got it to use the PPV Templates but in the wrong way. Do you think you can tell me how to fix it?--WillC 21:13, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Already on the case. Just fixed the Against All Odds one.--WillC 23:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help.--WillC 23:42, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Kelly Kelly
I'm not joking, actually. She was featured on-screen just as much as Long and Coach. All of the three had few lines and really didn't serve any (out-of-kayfabe) purpose besides comedy. I feel that if one isn't notable, the other two aren't either. Just my opinion. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 17:20, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey
Hey, I just got home from my vacation. I don't think I should be a Wikipedian anymore because no-one on Wikipedia likes me. IMatthew, ThinkBlue and everybody else doesnt like me. I'll have a think tonight if I should still be a Wikipedian. One other thing, what have you been up to lately. Cheers.- Cimmo (talk) 9:14, 20 July (UTC)
I know you are working on a few articles right now but can you work on an article with me?. Cheers.- Cimmo (talk) 4:17, 21 July (UTC)
As the title says, something is going on. The rv you did to SummerSlam (2007), the same guy has been used by many IPs to vandalize for the past hour. I believe someone has a product that allows them to change their IP.--WillC 02:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. I notice you are yet to update your score in the WikiCup. Please update your point totals with the number of FCs, GAs or DYKs you have obtained over the past month, and someone will update your tally at the end of this month. If you do not, only your edit count and unique pages will be considered. Thank you.

So I completed SummerSlam (2003), and I'm asking FA Reviewers on their input about it and they said it looks good and should be able to go to FAC. Have you done it with SummerSlam (2007)?--SRX 15:54, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't even think I can write in-universe anymore..lol But sure, I would be glad to help you. Just notify me. :)--SRX 16:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sure. I'll try to make it like the one I did for SS'03--SRX 16:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I'm done. Hope you like it. lol :)SRX 18:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Let's see once I nominate SS'03 later this week if all this work was worth it.--SRX 18:38, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Lets hope for it. We need FA's!--SRX 18:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Request
Hey, I have a request. During Lockdown's GA Review I have been asked to get someone to copyedit the event section. Would you mind to do that for me?--WillC 18:59, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, take your time. I'm trying to copyedit it myself from stuff I find confusing.--WillC 19:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I've tried to copyedit the event for Lockdown as much as I can to a point that I'm not sure what to do. I've read it so many times I can't tell what is good and what is wrong. Hopefully you don't find any problems.--WillC 21:44, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Whenever you can get to it, take your time. I'm not in a big rush. IMatthew hasn't given me anymore problems with it lately.--WillC 04:29, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for taking care of stuff, but there's still a problem with the fair use images. See my reply. —97198talk 10:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Congrats! I've gone ahead and passed the article :) —97198talk 07:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Man. SummerSlam is not going to good, just look at all these comments by FAC reviewers on the peer review (link). HELP!!!??!?!?!. lol :D--SRX 14:10, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They still find jargon, even though it is explained. They also find the lead to big and should only have the main points of the events and should explain that the event is scripted. Also, there is still grammatical problems like apart--->a part. There are also other problems too, when you want to read it (lol) you should, as it could help SummerSlam 2007.--SRX 15:19, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Sigh. I find this almost impossible, and I am so tired of working on the article by myself, I am so stressed about it.--SRX 15:34, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know. I think I am about to give up. :( Thanks for your help though.SRX 15:58, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Eh, its easy to say, but not to do. I wish the project could help out, but they just want to argue about it.SRX 16:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
They usually complain about it, but when it's time to take action they dont do anything.SRX 16:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I've done my share with adding the Aftermath. Do you think you can finish the Event? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That was so lame. ;) Do what you gotta do. Question: Are those "quotes" really necessary for the Background? Hey, are you gonna help out with the lead for TT '04? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 02:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know, I was trying to humor you. ;) I meant no harm. Well, SS'07 has it, but is just that almost every feud in the Bash have the quote. I'm just asking for a second opinion. Well, I was having trouble with writing the aftermath in the lead, since new "feuds" emerged, but I would appreciate it if you can add that little detail in the article. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 02:15, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, when you get the time. ;) I've been busy too, that's why it took me a little while to respond back to you. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 02:28, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Aww, remember we had that article in mind? :P But, the article is good, good job. Awesome, we can be finish with the Bash and then finish TT. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 00:36, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, your starting to resemble someone I know. :P Its cool, I know your busy with other stuff, if tomorrow is your word, I'll roll with it. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 01:01, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Bash '04 is good. Oh, and the Bash '06 looks good too. :P -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 18:52, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know, I was just trying to add some "humor" into it. ;) So, is the article done? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 18:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
What about adding something from the divas, since they did attack each other and stuff before the Bash. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 19:10, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, the London/Kendrick vs Pit Bulls is better than the divas one. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 19:18, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I do remember that they did start beating each other and stuff. But, I'm not very positive if it that did occur or not. -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 19:22, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm close to nominating SS'03 man. Check out the improvements to it. Not all FA reviewers are the same: some are saying it has a chance, others say it will get "shredded."--SRX 02:54, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks man. Hopefully this will pan out, so I can help you get SS'07 like that. :)--SRX 03:02, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sarcasm much? lol--SRX 03:19, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
RE: Takers Streak
There is a difference between harassing and making the truth known, and the sad truth is that Wikipedia is a pro-American website. I never called you racist, I merely stated that due to the pro-American bias this site tends to show, I do not expect to be successful. Killswitch Engage (talk) 16:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry, denial is the first step to recovery. And, as I expected, my attempt to reach consensus has done nothing. Told you so.Killswitch Engage (talk) 16:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It looks good, but make sure you add the reception. -- iMatthewT.C. 01:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Re:Armageddon
You should make the ratings in number form rather than spell them out, other than that it looks good. You plan on nominating it for GA only right?--SRX 18:37, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, whats going to be the DYK fact? Yeah, hopefully it turns out good [the FAC].--SRX 18:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, but very wrestling related, lets see if they accept it. Don't feel like doing it but is 200 character or under long?--SRX 19:15, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps is Recruiting Reviewers
We are once again recruiting new sweeps participants. Candidates should be very strong and comfortable in reviewing GA and familiar with the GA processes and criteria. If you are interested, please contact OhanaUnited for details.
GAN Reviewer of the Month
ThinkBlue (talk·contribs) is the GAN Reviewer of the Month for July, based on the assessments made by Dr. Cash on the number and thoroughness of the reviews made by individual reviewers each week. ThinkBlue had a whopping 49 reviews during the month of July! ThinkBlue was also one of our two reviewers of the month from June, and has been editing Wikipedia since December 1, 2006, and is interested in articles dealing with Friends, Will and Grace, CSI:Miami, Monday Night Raw, Coldplay.
Congratulations to Giggy (talk·contribs) on being May's GAN Reviewer of the Month!
Other outstanding reviewers during the month of July include:
This WikiProject, and the Good Article program as a whole, would not be where it is today without each and every one of its members! Thank you to all!
GA Sweeps Process
The GA Sweeps process has recently reached its first year anniversary. If you are unaware of what GA Sweeps is, it is a process put in place to help ensure the integrity of the ever-growing number of GAs, by determining if the articles still meet the GA criteria. Experienced reviewers check each article, improving articles as they review them, and delisting those that no longer meet the criteria. Reviewers work on a specific category of GAs, and there are still many categories that need to be swept. In order to properly keep track of reviews, a set date was used to determine what articles needed to be reviewed (since any future GAs would be passed according to the most recent GA criteria).
The number of GAs that were to be reviewed totals 2,808. Since the beginning of Sweeps, the progress has reviewed 981 by the end of July 2008 (or exempted them). For a table and chart breakdown of the current progress, see here.
With more than twenty editors reviewing the articles, progress is currently a third of the way done. At this rate, it will take another two years to complete the Sweeps, and active involvement is imperative to completing on time. We are always looking for new reviewers, and if you are interested in helping in speeding up the Sweeps process and improving your reviewing skills, please contact OhanaUnited.
Did You Know...
... that the goal of GA Sweeps is to reviewed all articles listed before 26 August2007?
... that the entire category of, "Meteorology and atmospheric sciences" has been swept?
... that of all subcategories, "Recordings, compositions and performances" in the Music category has the most articles (240 articles in total)?

Sorry to come in, but this user cannot be blocked at this time, as no warning was ever given to him. Give him a warning on his talk page, and if he continues to edit war, then block. -- iMatthewT.C. 22:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Outrage! John Cena's fake injury
Ok I went to the Madison Square Garden RAW House Show on Aug. 24, and John Cena was FINE. He was in a tag team match with Batista, perfectly fine. SomeTimes I hate when WWE has to be such a ***** sometimes (I don't really like Cena, but this is just stupid, they should say he's taking a break or something.)

Rollback right's?
Hey LAX, how do I get "Roll Back" rights here? I know how to use WP:UNDO and WP:TWINKLE very well (as you can see by my recent edit's but if you could tell me if I qualify it would be much appreciated. SteelersFan94 20:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Will you grant me Rollback rights? PLEASE......SteelersFan94 21:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No Mercy for FA
Before nominating it, I strongly suggest opening a peer review for it and look for FA reviewers to comment on it as that is what helped SummerSlam 2003 pass. Just take it as my last advice I give you :)--SRX 01:27, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OMG, how you been? Haven't seen you around. Congrats on getting NM to GA. ;) -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 22:29, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know. Yeah, its written well. One thing does stand out, "Randy [Randal]", basically the same thing. But, that's just me, probably not that important. I got faith it will be FA. ;) Question: "Canadian Online Explorer" is not suppose to be italicized, right? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 23:09, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's the only suggestion that I came up with. Yeah, that's what I thought on CANOE not needed to be italicized, the only reason I ask is cause it was mentioned at Bad Blood's GA review and I wanted an opinion on it. After NM, are you gonna work on SummerSlam '07? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 18:38, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I don't blame you, its still good, just with the removal of the jargon and stuff, it can be FA. ;) Hmmm, what would you work on? :P -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 14:05, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a way I can get you to give some feedback to HBK's article? -- ThinkBlue (HitBLUE) 20:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you seem a bit over confident, but alright. Not that I don't have faith in it to pass, but it would have benefited from a good peer review. In that way at the FAC, users will not oppose it due to the way the article is written. Not every FAC reviewer is the same, and not all will give a list of what to work on for their support. But I wish you luck, and if you need help you can always contact me.SRX 20:23, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's not, why?--SRX 00:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, well Ealdgyth didn't say anything about it. And they notice every ref. So I'm not sure, also because its something minor.--SRX 01:03, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
