NWA Virginia Junior Heavyweight Championship

edit

I've undeleted the article. It is possible that a deletion review will be needed to get things straight; I will try to keep track of the situation. I would also like to ask you not to post our e-mail exchange to Wikipedia. In addition, if you need to contact me, you can use my talk page. Conscious 11:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've received your letter (no problem!). I'm glad to see you're not having problems with your new page. I'm leaving for a while, so I won't be able to help you; however, there are several people (like Aaron Brenneman and Zoe) who are aware of the situation. Conscious 20:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Jeffcapo.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

Re: Sources for Pro Wrestling Articles

edit

If you're asking about what Wikipedia considers a credible source, Wikipedia:Reliable sources should help you with that. As far as credible sources specifically for professional wrestling topics, I can't think of any off the top of my head. It really depends on the circumstances of the article; for instance, an article about a championship may be sourced with a link to a well-respected title history Web site (for instance, Wrestling-Titles.com).

Your recent edits

edit

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button   located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 04:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

re:Earth Two

edit

Just two quick things:

First, the section you added reads like speculation. We won't know if this is the pre-Crisis Earth Two, or that it is just visually similar to it until more information is put out/ Or the issue is on sale.

Second, the image really won't do much more than add decoration to the page. As such, it shouldn't be added. For the nuts and bolts, please refer to WP:NFC, both the policy listed there and the various image guidelines. - J Greb (talk) 11:00, 8 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Volunteer opportunity in Bethesda, Thursday, July 16

edit

The Wikimedia Foundation will be conducting an all-day Academy at the National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda, Maryland, on Thursday, July 16. The team that will be teaching at the Academy, a mix of paid staff and volunteers, is looking for four more volunteers to be teaching assistants, providing one-to-one assistance in workshops whenever a workshop participant has a problem following the instructional directions. (We currently have two editors signed up as teaching assistants, and are looking for a total of six.)

The NIH editing workshops are only for two hours, but volunteers are asked to meet the Wikimedia Foundation team at the hotel in Bethesda at about 7:15 a.m. (time to be finalized shortly) and to stay for the entire day, which ends at 4:30 p.m. Lunch will be provided. (The full schedule can be found here.)

The team is not necessarily looking for expert editors (though they are welcome), just people who can help novices who might get stuck when trying to do some basic things. If you've been an editor for at least 3 months, and have done at least 500 edits, you probably qualify.

If you're interested, please send John Broughton an email. If you might be interested, but would like further information, please post a note on his user talk page, so that he can respond there, and others can see what was asked.

Proposed deletion of NWA Virginia Junior Heavyweight Championship

edit
 

The article NWA Virginia Junior Heavyweight Championship has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Hasn't been defended in a promotion that meets WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

  Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Premiere Wrestling Xperience. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

|image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]]

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

|image=SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!
