Welterweight article

Looks like I tried to correct an apparent spelling mistake but made a spelling mistake in doing so. Since he is referred to as Misterioso elsewhere, should it not be Misterioso instead of Misterio in the note? In the FLC, you also wrote FLa in one place where you seem to mean FLs, but I didn't want to edit your comments. GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:05, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn Poster

I just thought I'd let you know that user Mostafa Elsherbini has been replacing your original TakeOver: Brooklyn upload with a fan-made version. You can see the image's history page and the changes he's made here https://en.wikipedia.org/File:NXT_Brooklyn_Posters.jpg I have reverted it back to your original upload.

Collaboration

Would you like to work together on making List of AAA Mega Champions an FL and perhaps the main article a GA?--WillC 02:51, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

I've been working on a topic of titles that have appeared and been defended in TNA in some big way. Apparently Jarrett defended that belt a few times in TNA so I have to include it in the topic now. I thought all I had left was the NWA World and NWA Tag but I guess not. Seeing as you are the Mexican contributor around here, I figured I'd talk to you about it since you know more on the subject than I do. I can update the table and work on the prose if you'll source it and copyedit me?--WillC 02:57, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Alright, well I've put the list in a subpage located here so that we can work on it and possibly get a Did you Know out of it depending on how long it takes us to complete it. I'll update the table and everything shortly based on what I've learned in the King of the Mountain Champions FLC.--WillC 03:24, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
I've always left the event names with the year listed to show which event it actually dropped at instead of them all seeming like the same event at a glance. Up to you what you want to do, I'm flexible.--WillC 03:35, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
The reason I added the templates is just to avoid that issue at FLC.--WillC 03:56, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
I'm just doing it the same way everytime so anything different is odd to me. Just explaining myself out.--WillC 04:00, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

I just now noticed your message so ignore me removing the tournament bracket. I agree, if you feel there is not enough info to split the articles then lets merge them. Never had a problem with merging them. I just assumed you had split the list off and you wanted to keep it that way. Fine with me either way. As for the NWA Tag, something tells me there is enough information there for two articles. Afterall, it is the NWA World Tag Team Championship and has the issue with WCW, its time in TNA, etc. There is alot of history behind that title going in and out of companies. Defended in the U.S., Mexico, Japan, England, etc. So yes on merge for AAA, I say nay on NWA. I'd rather merge the NWA but something tells me that they should remain separate.--WillC 05:42, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Article looks pretty good now. I guess we could use the Jarrett fact for a Did you know.--WillC 21:53, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
I don't know if it qualifies yet either. Most likely won't since we haven't added 5 times the prose. Reads decently to me. I'll look it over again though.--WillC 22:01, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
I was going to move the article to mainspace and merge the articles but then I looked at the title history from AAA. They keep track of defenses. I was wondering if you wanted to include that in the table like with New Japan: IWGP Heavyweight Championship?--WillC 23:37, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
Not exactly sure what you are saying. NJPW promotes the defenses, not sure about AAA. I found a source for the TNA name with a video of Jarrett winning the title posted by TNA with the name in the caption.--WillC 18:24, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
Alright do you want to add that column or me?--WillC 18:54, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and add it later today then.--WillC 17:30, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

I really don't go by the style guide anymore. I just go by what is good through FL. Not really anyone in the project knows what should be done and what shouldn't and we never have enough discussion on guides that anything important happens. Personally I hate that type of format and the WWE lists are poorly done and old, most likely fail FL. The TNA lists passed FL so that is good to me but I need to update them. I only change format if I'm shown something from the main MoS.--WillC 03:23, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
I'm going to go ahead and move it to mainspace since I don't see that there is anything left to do.--WillC 03:39, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
Moved and merged the articles, nominated it for FLC. Misplaced Pages:Featured list candidates/AAA Mega Championship/archive1, you're credited as well.--WillC 03:51, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

I have yet to really research into whether he defended it or not. I do know he had it with him in TNA and TNA has a tendency to defend other promotions titles as seen with the IWGP belts. I'm not sure whether it will be a Good Topic or a Featured Topic. I have two different topics. You can check out all the ones I've planned at User:Wrestlinglover/Turning Point (2008). It really depends on what happens to each article what will occur. I have the IWGP Third Belt, the NWA Heavyweight, the NWA Tag, and the AAA Mega left. This is because they all appeared in TNA and were promoted. Are they TNA Titles? Not really but were used by TNA. I'm doing something different than the current champions topic that was done with the WWE titles. Instead I'm doing a TNA Championship article that will encompass the current champions, replacing that short list, and give a history for all titles used by TNA in a large way. As far as I can tell the NWA Junior Heavyweight and Women's Title were used by TNA but nothing more than the champions appearing because they were in the NWA. I don't consider them promoted since they were one time appearances. The IWGP and AAA belts were used on tv and used alot.--WillC 05:26, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Triple Crown

I'm just being nit-picky, but The Fabulous Kangaroos, Al Costello and Abismo Negro all have a bare url i'd like you to get rid of. I'm also not a fan of how half the references in Bobby Eaton don't have parameters like 'website/publisher' or retrieval dates specified, but i'm happy to give you these awards now in the good faith that these issues will be fixed. Otherwise the articles look fine to me, though I'd appreciate it if you gave them a quick look over as well to see if anything needs updating or improving. Well done. Freikorp (talk) 22:32, 10 September 2015 (UTC)

I am pleased to award this Triple Crown to MPJ-DK for excellent additions to wikipedia. Freikorp (talk) 22:32, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
I, Freikorp award MPJ-DK with this Imperial Triple Crown for great improvements to Misplaced Pages's professional wrestling articles. Keep up the good work. Freikorp (talk) 22:32, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
Five or more years have passed since your nominations for Bobby Eaton, The Fabulous Kangaroos, Al Costello, Don Kent (wrestler), Abismo Negro and others were promoted, so it's my pleasure to award you this Timeless Triple Crown. Well done. Freikorp (talk) 22:32, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
I am also pleased to award you this Imperial Napoleonic Triple Crown for having five DYK nominations, five good articles and five featured articles. Freikorp (talk) 05:23, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

GA review of Richie Benaud article

Many thanks for your GA review of the Richie Benaud article. I think your most telling point is "this is supposed to be a Good Article, not a Good Cricket Article", which puts the whole thing in perspective. I think some of us with a special interest in a certain subject get used to certain phrases and uses of terminology and it is very helpful for people, not so steeped in the traditions, to point them out.

I've started fixing some of the issues you've raised and will certaily aim to work on the others. Again, many thanks. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 06:15, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the follow-up note. I'll keep working on it when I can. Perry Middlemiss (talk)

AAA Mega Championship

Looks like the above may pass FL with 2 supports but I've been wrong before. There is a deadlink in the article now. Could you find a replacement for it?--WillC 08:47, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

It has been promoted to FL.--WillC 21:22, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

DYK and plot summaries

MPJ-DK, I wanted to point you to WP:DYKSG#D2, which talks about DYK's standards for inline source citations, including plot summaries. As you can see, plot summaries are an exception to the source citation requirements. This is the basis of my recent comment on the Episode 7202 review. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:21, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for adjusting the review. The only problem is that the review template and its summary icon is located at the top, before the ? icon I had to use when pulling back the nomination from prep, and it needs to remain there for the review chronology to make any sense. What you'll need to do is add another comment at the bottom, with the tick icon, indicating there that after further review, the nomination passes. The final icon on the nomination page is the one that holds sway, and my intermediate one needs to stay where it is. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:02, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Using Earwig's Copyvio Detector

MPJ-DK, I noticed in your Jaqeli reviews you've been basing your decision as to whether a GA nomination has copyvio issues on the percentage and characterization (e.g., "Highly unlikely") returned by the tool. My experience of the tool is that its percentages and likelihood claims need to be taken with a great deal of skepticism. Indeed, there was a period where it was removed from the DYK toolbox because of far too many false negatives, and it still gives quite a few.

I have found clear copyvios of two sentences when the tool returned a 9.1% chance of a copyvio, and more than once. The tool also doesn't check for overly close paraphrasing (plagiarism)—it isn't capable of it—yet that's as often a problem as exact copying is. More important than the tool is your own judgment: when you check a paragraph against its source to be sure the article accurately represents the facts in the source, also make sure that the wording isn't copied or otherwise has strong similarities.

Please let me know if you have any questions. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:28, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Nea Salamis Review

Hello. Thanks again for the review on Talk:Nea Salamis Famagusta/GA3. I was too busy last week to make improvements. Today, I have made some changes based on your comments. I would like your help so the article would meet the GA criteria, before to apply for GA again. Pls read again your comments and tell me what else I have to do. Take your time, when ever you can. I will not apply for GA again if you don't tell me that the article is in a form that can be a GA article. Xaris333 (talk) 14:51, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
