Twitter

Do you have any proof that WWE has a official Twitter page? They make no mention whatsoever on their website about having a Twitter page, and it is not hard for someone to make a fake one. TJ Spyke 04:37, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I've seen it verifed somewhere. Probably by the fact that the WWE superstars that are on Twitter are following the WWE Twitter page. God knows, if it wasn't really the WWE, that they a) wouldn't be followin' it, plus WWE would have had it stopped by now. Crash Underride 04:58, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

That is not reliable evidence (and would easily fail WP:RS). Just saying you've seen it somewhere is not enough. As for superstars, even if you could confirm those were real (which is a seperate matter); them following a similar account doesn't mean anything. Do you have any actual proof that WWE has a Twitter account? If not, then stop adding links to articles saying "verified on WWE Twitter account" when you can't even prove that WWE has a Twitter account. Also, hundreds (if not thousands) of fake MySpace accounts exist for WWE. They are not illegal and WWE couldn't do anything to stop them. TJ Spyke 05:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

While the last part is true, Matt Hardy has personally verified through photos on MySpace that his and Gregory Helms' profiles are legit. Helms' even includes links to the real WWEr's profiles, containing Jeff Hardy's. I would conclude that those, having been verified would be good enough seein' as they wrestler them self announced the Twitter pages creation. Crash Underride 05:09, 14 June 2009 (UTC):

Can you provide me the specific links proving those 3 are real? If true, then those 3 are fine. TJ Spyke 05:11, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Go to Matt Hardy's last blog, it has that he conceded and created one in the title. My computer's actin' up and I can't right now. And http://www.myspace.com/gshelms for Gregory Helms' which has been verified. He has a blog up about his Twitter account. Crash Underride 05:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Screen shot of Odeo Professional Sports section.jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Screen shot of Odeo Professional Sports section.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Crash Underride 20:01, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

USS Goldsborough notification at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history

Could you please edit the message you've placed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history to specify what the issue you're seeking comments on is? The talkback template shouldn't be used to seek comments like that, and it's not clear what the problem is on the article's talk page. Thanks, Nick-D (talk) 08:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Nice work on the page, but I was just wondering about the OWOW reference to his wrestling for Stampede. I'm not that happy with it. I think we need more info than that to be honest. On post WWF time, I don't think there is anything. At all. Certainly not anything that could be verified. !! Justa Punk !! 10:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, I didn't exactly mean career-wise, I meant in what all he's been up too. And the ability to verify them. Crash Underride 15:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

That's actually what I meant as well. !! Justa Punk !! 01:48, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: ???

I can't answer your question without knowing what article and edits you're talking about, and I certainly can't answer as to why other people are reverting your edits. In future, if you have a question for me, please provide a diff, it makes life much simpler. I am fairly sure however, that I have never undone anyone's edits purely to change <br> to <br />. I will however, say that I find it a lot easier to read the <br /> tags in the infobox, as the space provides a natural break, which you otherwise don't get. Compare for example Matt Hardy's ring names in the infobox. They're currently formatted as '''Matt Hardy'''<ref name="OWOW"/><br />High Voltage<ref name="OWOW"/><br />Surge<ref name="OWOW"/><br />(The) Angelic Diablo<br />Ignis Fatuus<ref>{{cite book|last=Hardy|first=Jeff|coauthors=Hardy, Matt; Krugman, Michael|title=The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire|publisher=[[WWE Books]]|year=2003|page=56|isbn=978-0736821421}}</ref><br />Matt Hardy Version 1.0<ref name="OWOW"/><br />White Cheetah<ref name="page23">{{cite book|last=Hardy|first=Jeff|coauthors=Hardy, Matt; Krugman, Michael|title=The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire|publisher=[[WWE Books]]|year=2003|page=23|isbn=978-0736821421}}</ref><br />Evil Knieval<ref name="page23"/><br />Grim Reaper<ref name="page23"/><br />Executioner<ref name="page23"/>, which is a hell of a little easier to read in a block of text in the editing window than '''Matt Hardy'''<ref name="OWOW"/><br>High Voltage<ref name="OWOW"/><br>Surge<ref name="OWOW"/><br>(The) Angelic Diablo<br>Ignis Fatuus<ref>{{cite book|last=Hardy|first=Jeff|coauthors=Hardy, Matt; Krugman, Michael|title=The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire|publisher=[[WWE Books]]|year=2003|page=56|isbn=978-0736821421}}</ref><br>Matt Hardy Version 1.0<ref name="OWOW"/><br>White Cheetah<ref name="page23">{{cite book|last=Hardy|first=Jeff|coauthors=Hardy, Matt; Krugman, Michael|title=The Hardy Boyz: Exist 2 Inspire|publisher=[[WWE Books]]|year=2003|page=23|isbn=978-0736821421}}</ref><br />Evil Knieval<ref name="page23"/><br>Grim Reaper<ref name="page23"/><br>Executioner<ref name="page23"/> if you're trying to find a specific name to fix for say spelling or something. Also, I always thought that <br /> was the standard and correct because when I've used the WP:CHECKLINKS tool to fix a dead link, it automatically changes <br> to <br />. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 22:31, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Dates

Please do not use styles that are unusual or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Futurama. There is a Manual of Style that should be followed. Thank you. In the Futurama article, you changed "since XXXX" to "XXXX–present". This is incorrect according to the the Manual of Style. Please refrain from using "XXXX–present" for dates in articles.
