Any problems? Moe ε 23:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
My final good-byes[edit]
Hello BionicWilliam. I came to tell all my friends, yes, that means you, that I am leaving Wikipedia. Thank you for being so kind to me during my stay on Wikipedia. I hope to speak with you again someday. I appriciate that I was listed on your your page as a user you respected, that meant a lot. Moe ε 05:50, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism[edit]
I reverted the vandalism on the article you mentioned. If you could go through and report anymore mistakes/vandalism, that would help a lot. If there is you can post them on my talk page. Moe ε 02:56, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
Roster List[edit]
Hey BionicWilliam Yeah, I noticed you deleted that. I didn't actually put the list on, I'd just gone through and changed all the text to wikilinks. Took ages finding all the right names! You're right to take it off though (but maybe messsage first next time!). By the way, don't forget to sign your posts! See ya ConDemTalk 21:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
Status[edit]
You have to go to User:BionicWilliam/Status and create that page. Then, you type in what you want to say. You don't need to type it into the user page too, as it automatically changes with the template. --M o P 03:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe, I could explain it better...You have to have your monobook formatted for it. See mine at User:Moe Epsilon/monobook.js. All it is a big code that gives extra functions. If you want the exact one for the status thing, I can give it to you. Moe ε 03:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
The Code for status changer[edit]
3 Steps:
1) Go to your monobook: User:BionicWilliam/monobook.js
2) Next type in the following code: (I suggest copying and pasting off of here)
topaz.statuschanger = new Object();
/* configuration */
// change these to whatever you'd like to show up on your status page.
topaz.statuschanger.statuscode = {
online:'<font color="green">online</font>',
busy:'<font color="orange">busy</font>',
offline:'<font color="red">offline</font>'
};
// true to use the personal bar, false to create a panel in the left column
topaz.statuschanger.usepersonalbar = true;
/* end configuration */
topaz.statuschanger.oldonload = window.onload;
window.onload = function() {
if (typeof topaz.statuschanger.oldonload == "function") topaz.statuschanger.oldonload();
if (topaz.statuschanger.usepersonalbar) {
var a = topaz.wputil.addsidepanelbutton("p-personal", "Online",
'javascript:topaz.statuschanger.setstatus("online")'
);
var b = topaz.wputil.addsidepanelbutton("p-personal", "Busy",
'javascript:topaz.statuschanger.setstatus("busy")'
);
var c = topaz.wputil.addsidepanelbutton("p-personal", "Offline",
'javascript:topaz.statuschanger.setstatus("offline")'
);
a.style.borderRight=b.style.borderRight="1px solid #aaaaaa";
b.style.marginLeft=c.style.marginLeft="0px";
a.style.paddingRight=b.style.paddingLeft=b.style.paddingRight=c.style.paddingLeft="2px";
} else {
topaz.wputil.addsidepanel("tz-statuschanger", "status changer");
topaz.wputil.addsidepanelbutton("tz-statuschanger", "Online",
'javascript:topaz.statuschanger.setstatus("online")'
);
topaz.wputil.addsidepanelbutton("tz-statuschanger", "Busy",
'javascript:topaz.statuschanger.setstatus("busy")'
);
topaz.wputil.addsidepanelbutton("tz-statuschanger", "Offline",
'javascript:topaz.statuschanger.setstatus("offline")'
);
}
};
topaz.statuschanger.setstatus = function(statusname) {
topaz.wputil.setpagecontent(
"User:"+topaz.wputil.username()+"/Status",
topaz.statuschanger.statuscode[statusname],
statusname);
};
3) According to which browser your using you'll have to do the following after saving your code:
- If your using Mozilla/Safari/Konqueror you'll have to hold down Shift while clicking Reload to finish the changes (this after saving your code on your monobook).
- If your using Internet Explorer press Ctrl-F5 (this is after saving your code on your monobook).
- If your using Opera press F5 (this is after saving your code on your monobook).
If you have any problems you can contact me. Moe ε 04:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Archives[edit]
The first two achives are going to span more than 1 month because of not enough conversation ok? The last one, February 2006, is going to be by itself and when the time comes you can do March by itself. They are red-links right now. I'll fix that now. Moe ε 04:10, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Status Changer[edit]
If entered the code correctly and everything, you should see a new feature at the top of your user page next to the log out function. It says:
online|busy|offline
Whenever you want to change your status you click it and it will auto change it for you. As for the way it is on your user page, you make like a template such as in your case:
{{User:BionicWilliam/status}}
Whenever you change your status, it will say whatever you clicked (online, busy, or offline) like it does on my user page. If you want me to do it, I can help. Moe ε 04:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, lets assume I.E. is your browser. Do these in this order and hopefully it will work:
1) Blank your monobook to start over.
2) Enter the code again.
3) Most IMPORTANT Hit ctrl and F5 on your keyboard.
I think you forgot to do step 3. Moe ε 04:33, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
New code[edit]
Ok try these three steps without pausing in between each step (I suggest reading this completely then doing it)
1) Blank monobook again.
2) Enter new code:
function inc (file) {
var lt = String.fromCharCode(60);
var gt = String.fromCharCode(62);
document.writeln(lt+'script type="text/javascript" src="/w/index.php?title='+file+'&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"'+gt+lt+'/script'+gt);
}
inc("User:Topaz/init.js");
inc("User:Topaz/util.js");
inc("User:Topaz/editcountutil.js");
inc("User:Topaz/comm.js");
inc("User:Topaz/wputil.js");
inc("User:Topaz/statuschanger.js");
3) MOST IMPORTANT After saving, immediatly hit ctrl and F5 on your keyboard.
After doing this, tell me if it helps. Moe ε 04:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Current WWE roster[edit]
I made some changes to the Current World Wrestling Entertainment roster. I thought I would get some feedback from the major contributors to the article.
- I added a new section for those not contracted to WWE that are performing in dark matches.
- I removed those performing OVW that are not contracted and placed them in the above mentioned new section.
- I removed those performing DSW that are not contracted and placed them in the above mentioned new section.
- I combined all the stables into one major section to view the stables. Reason behind this is because Superstars from OVW/DSW were blended in tag-teams and stables from both the contracted and non-contracted sections.
- I combined some sections in the OVW and DSW roster; nothing major.
- I combined the Announcers and Interviewers section with the commentators sections.
- I moved Chuck Palumbo to DSW based on many websites confirming he moved there. Previous conflicting reports stated he was going to immediatly to the RAW Brand but that was later proven wrong.
You're input on the changes and and any hidden mistakes you find would be appriciated. Moe ε 17:16, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Changes[edit]
I removed Charlie Haas because he should be listed under OVW, which I think he is. He isn't going immediatly to the RAW roster as suggested. Moe ε 03:45, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
AWA title history/Hogan[edit]
I looked up the history of the AWA World Heavyweight Championship and it showed that Hulk Hogan never held the championship. I believe some Wikipedia articles are misleading in telling the true # of championships a wrestler has. I'll futhur look for evidence of him holding the title. If he hasn't held the title any, I will remove referances of him holding it on Wikipedia and hopefully it will stop future rumors from starting. Moe ε 01:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- I just saw that link as you sent me the second message. :-) I readded the info because the title reigns seem correct. Thanks for telling me. :-D Moe ε 02:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- It's alright to add wrestlers to the roster who have a verbal contracts. Official contract or not. As to Vince and Shane being listed twice, They are listed twice because they are actively in the storylines used on Monday Night RAW in addition to being head positions in the WWE headquarters. Until they are not in the storylines anymore, they will be double listed as the active WWE RAW roster and WWE Administration. And when they are not in the storylines anymore, they will going to be listed just once in the WWE Administration section. Moe ε 18:41, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- I fixed the template; it now reads Jess (Jess McMahon), Vincent J. (Vincent J. McMahon), Vincent K. (Vince McMahon). As for moving Vince McMahon to Vincent K. McMahon, that probably wouldn't be the best idea. It already redirects to the article and the article Vince McMahon (at the top of the article) states that if they want to see his father's article to see Vincent J. McMahon.

About the World Heavyweight Championship merging: I would have to say no to merging it based on the fact that the World Heavyweight Championship article has more information that just the list of championships. Besides the additional information, it also talks about Boxing and Mixed Martial Artist on the World Heavyweight Championship article. It wouldn't be fair to move it all to a page based around wrestling. Moe ε 03:29, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- True, but it would be better if the World Heavyweight Championship and List of Number of World Title Reigns were left seperate since the only thing listed on Number of World Title Reigns is the list itself and the WHC article has more than that.
- I would be happy to assist in expanding the AWA articles too. Moe ε 04:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Spoilers[edit]
The only rule I have seen/been told about on Wikipedia regarding spoilers and professional wrestling is to not spoil title changes. It doesn't really make that big a differance if we know his nickname anyways. Besides, anyone who likes professional wrestling with access to a computer already knows about the name change anyhow. Nothing major is impacted by this minor change so I would let it stay. Moe ε 23:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Torrie or Victoria?[edit]
Hey, Do you have a source that says that Torrie's REAL NAME is Victoria instead of just Torrie? I haven't found anyhting. Just wondering. User:MgHoneyBee Apr.14,2006
Happy Easter[edit]
Dalip Singh[edit]
You can't use the pic found on Dalip Singh's WWE profile since it's not considered fair use. The one that is on there now is free since it was apparently "created" by another Wikipedia user. It's best to leave the pic alone since McPhail will throw a fit if you change it to something that isn't considered fair use. He and I got into a bit of an argument over it. The Phenomenal One 04:17, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Response[edit]
I warned him. And I'll keep an eye out. Moe ε 02:07, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Wrestling pages[edit]
24.86.67.82 is making a lot of superficially plausible changes to heights and weights, but without citing any sources. I saw that you reverted some. Any thoughts on whether it's vandalism? Amcfreely 03:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Better not put this article up for deletion since there are other countries with articles like these. But, I did however make major cleanup to it and removed the stuff at the top that made it not meet Wikipedia Standards. Moe ε 20:48, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
PLEASE ASSIST, WRESTLING FANS OF WIKIPEDIA[edit]
Me and the soon to be departing (hopefully not) Moe Epsilon are setting up a project to deal with the music of this great business. It will be Wikipedia:WikiProject Music of wrestling. Join if you are remotely interested - every little helps! Thanks. Kingfisherswift 16:57, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for joining, much appreciated. Kingfisherswift 10:25, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
This is Moe[edit]
RE: WWE alumni page[edit]
With regards to that page, I was only working with the info already listed and putting it into the new format, I wasn't doing any actual research. David Flair should be under F for his last name, and I'm not sure if Gorilla was still with WWE when he died, maybe it says on his page. I'll have to look into that. Also, you are allowed to make the changes yourself. I didn't really want to bother with the page initially, but Moe asked me to finish it for him, so I did. --JFred 22:34, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
RE: Money in the Bank[edit]
Good question, they've held it two years in a row. With that said, there is no indication just yet that it will be an annual event, so I'd say no. If they hold it next year then there is an indication that it will be annual so it can be added then, or if there is official word before then. --JFred 02:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Your Userpage[edit]
I seperated the bottom two subsections for you, hope that was the look you were going for. --JFred 04:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
Reply[edit]
Thanks for the welcome back! Good job with the vandal reverts. ;-) I'll have to get together with you later to work on those articles. I agree, more fans of old-time wrestling need to get on Wikipedia so the get the articles they deserve. The King of Kings 04:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Evil![edit]
Just to let you know that his page was moved to that name, as there is no consensus or concrete proof as to whether his real name is James Howard or James Gibson. --JFred 01:05, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
