List of PWG World Tag Team Champions[edit]

I am nominating this for featured list because... I believe it passes the criteria and I'm trying to get title histories to FL. Seeing as List of PWG World Champions is doing pretty good with two supports, I thought to go ahead and nominate this one.--WillC 03:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • The verb tense switches back and forth in the second section of the lead. My biggest concern is that the following sentence is in past tense for no apparent reason: "Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains or heroes as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches for the championship."
  • The caption for the image implies that Scott Lost is also a co-owner and 5 time champion. Is this the case?
  • It was not intended to mean he was a 5 time champion and co-owner, just a five time champion. But Lost is also a co-owner of PWG. Along with Dragon, Excalibur, and Joey Ryan. If you wish, I'll fix it to where it only means he was a 5 time champion?--WillC 04:49, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have always found that saying that things happen as a result of "plots and storylines" is redundant, as a storyline is a plot and a plot is a storyline. This is just personal preference, though, and I understand that the current phrasing is used in many professional wrestling articles.
  • "All reigns are won at live events" - The reigns aren't won at live events, but the title belts are.
  • Fixed. Any better?--WillC 04:49, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "for unknown reasons" - inaccurate, as I'm sure PWG has a reason. If the reason is not known to Wikipedia, there is no need to include the last three words. GaryColemanFan (talk) 17:17, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, fixed. Thank you for the comments.--WillC 04:49, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support - Not weak because of anything wrong with the article, but simply because I try to avoid supporting or opposing wrestling articles to avoid any semblance of a conflict of interest (it has been stated in the past that members of the professional wrestling project is the only wikiproject that shouldn't be allowed to comment on lists nominated by its own members). I feel that it meets the criteria, though, and all of my concerns have been addressed. I was hoping someone else would stop by and comment, but it has been 16 days, so supporting a list that meets the criteria makes more sense to me than allowing it to fail because nobody else is willing to comment.

  • Some of GaryColemanFan's comments apply to your earlier FLs. Please edit them as necessary.
  • "history at 1 day"-->history at one day
  • I'd rather that em dashes rather than en dashes were used in the blank cells.
  • "reigns with the exact number mean they are tied for that certain rank." Insert "that" after "mean". Dabomb87 (talk) 23:14, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:14, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • All are finished.--WillC 23:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • Redundant "professional wrestling" usage in the first sentence. To fix it, try using "by the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG) promotion".
  • There are out-of-order references in the middle of the second paragraph. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.
  • "The record for most reigns for a single competitor is tied between Super Dragon and Lost, with five." Don't like "record" ... "is tied". Can it be reworded?
  • "are tied for shortest in the title's history at one day." Add "the" before "shortest".
  • Table: One of the rows in Location has a faulty wikilink.
  • By team: Combined days column isn't sorting properly. By wrestler table is the same. Giants2008 (17-14) 21:31, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – My concerns have all been addressed, and everything else appears to be in order. Giants2008 (17-14) 17:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

General
  • Gosh I hate these promotions that don't have links to their PPV's =P It's so distracting =D
  • Okay. *looks around thinking you are weird*--WillC 00:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Lead
  • 'The championship later changed hands for the first time outside the United States on October 27, 2007 at PWG's European Vacation II – England event—at that event then-champions Kevin Steen and El Generico were defeated by Richards and Super Dragon in Portsmouth, England.' -- 1)Comma after 'at that event' 2)IDK, it's just me but I think The championship was later won for the first time outside.... would sound better.
  • 'PWG publishes a list of successful championship defenses (victories against challengers for the championship) for each champion on their official website, unlike other professional wrestling promotions.' -- This statement might need rewording because ROH publishes a similar list, so I think it would be better worded as unlike major professional wrestling promotions or something along those lines
  • 'At 273 days, Arrogance (Bosh and Lost)'s first reign is the longest in the title's history.' -- I see no need to mention the members of the team again.
  • 'The Aerial Xpress (Quicksilver and Scorpio Sky)'s only reign and Richards' and Roderick Strong's only reign are tied for the shortest in the title's history at one day.' -- 1)The 's should be next to the name of the team not after the parenthesis 2)This would be better worded as The Aerial Xpress (Quicksilver and Scorpio Sky) and Richards and Roderick Strong's only reigns are tied for the shortest in the title's history at one day.
Table
  • I hate having the thing center aligned, but if the other columns are like so, you should also do it for the event column, its no need to have just that one column left aligned (excluding the notes)
Notes
  • 'Arrogance's reign as a tag team officially begins on October 9, but Lost's third reign officially began on September 4.' -- Be consistent with tenses its either both as 'begins' or 'began'--Truco 503 18:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • All are finished.--WillC 00:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Issues resolved/clarifies; list now meets WP:WIAFL.--Truco 503 20:51, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
