List of WCW Hardcore Champions[edit]
I think this article should be nominated for Featured List status because it is well sourced and written, and meets the FL criteria.--TrUCo-X 02:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Resolved comments from Matthew
Comments
- Shouldn't this be retitled "List of WCW Hardcore Championship champions" or "List of WCW Hardcore Championship winners"?
- Explainations of jargon term "ring name"
- "The WCW Hardcore Championship is a former professional wrestling title" → "The WCW Hardcore Championship was a professional wrestling title"
- As the list itself is pretty small and finite (meaning it's not ever going to get any bigger) the lead should be expanded. How about including information of what preceeded the belt, if anything?
- "The championship has been know as: WCW Hardcore Championship (November, 1999 - March 2001)" is redundant.
- Not really, because it is how every other list of champions article is written as, and its info that is needed as the title could have had another name.--TrUCo-X 04:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- There's that guideline somewhere that basically says "just because one article has it, doesn't mean this one should, too." If it had been known by two or three names I'd still suggest it be removed, only in that case turn it into prose. I really think it should be removed. And who's to say that tomorrow someone won't go and turn all that into prose on each article? -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 05:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- The table is confusing
- The wrestler's names should be sortable
- What does "Times" mean? is this the number of times the wrestler won the title? If so, each instance should be given it's own entry
- Date should be sortable
- Is "Location" the place the match took place, or where the wrestler is from?
- Location should be sortable, and also wikilink every entry.
- Its is now sortable, however, not every place should be wikilinked because they are already wikilinked in the section,per WP:Mos#Wikilinks.--TrUCo-X 04:35, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to sortable tables. And I know for sure other reviewers are going to request the same. -- Matthew | talk |Contribs 05:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well that would be redundant, this is a small list, the section is not long so everything being wikilinked wouldn't follow WP:MoS, if this was a problem then it would have been pointed out in previous FLC nominations for other championships.--TrUCo-X 05:14, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Respectfully, you've got to be kidding? This is the list being nominated, not any other, nor is any other up for re-review. Things change over time, that is why we have Wikipedia:Featured list removal candidates; for those that were at one point excellent and have now fallen by the wayside, or simply do not meet current requirements. Just because some other lists don't have it is not a reason not to include it here. And just because it wasn't included in other wrestling lists' noms, could simply mean the reviewers who reviewed just overlooked or didn't notice it. Take a look at all the other FLC right now, and you'll see that other reviewers as well as myself have said to wikilink repeated entries in sortable tables. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 07:46, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Instead of "Notes", why not put a column for "Event", and then a column for "ref(s)"?
- "Vacated" and "Retired" should be removed from the table and addressed in prose. Also explain better what "vacated means"
- Is there no WCW navigation template or something to put at the bottom of the page?

- Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)
- Image caption for the belt is a fragment so doesn't need the full stop.
- "by ring name" - I'd opt to make this a separate sentence as it's a little confusing where it is right now.
- " title was vacated (unoccupied) " - I'm not sure what this means. Can you explain further, either to me here or in the article?!
- The guy above said that vacated would not be understandable, so he said explain it better, and he said unoccupied would fit. In these terms, vacated means, that the champion who held the title was either injured and was forced to relinquish the championship, thus making the title vacated (unoccupied). Is that well explained?TrUCo-X 17:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "World Wrestling Federation (WWF)'s" - yuck, stick with "...Federation's (WWF)"
- Get rid of the colons in the headings of the table.
- Some work needed on the table...
- Sort by date doesn't work - you need to use the {{dts2}} template.
- With the four colspan'd cells, you get curious effects when re-ordering by reign # for example. It seems to have four distinct orders where you'd normally expect two!
- Reign # should be explained, that it relates to the individual(s) in question's number of titles up until that point.
- "Won title on Nitro" - what does that mean?
- Thunder, Nitro etc all need to be wikilinking every time in table because its sortable and there's no guarantee you see the wikilinked version first.
- Four external links seems a little excessive - which really relate to WCW Hardcore champions explicitly?
- I removed two, is that better?
So some work to do before I can support. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, all my concerns rapidly and accurately addressed. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 17:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support, The Rambling Man honestly addressed any concerns I had. I feel that this article goes beyond the FL criteria. iMatthew 2008 18:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support All my issues were addressed a long time ago. I was just waiting to see if anyone had found anything that I missed. These have all been addressed, too. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 20:14, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Support In the interests of disclosure, I am a member of WP:PW. This list fits the criteria of a featured list, as it is fully referenced with reliable sources, is complete, and is a useful list. The article complies with the Manual of Style as well as most WP:PW guidelines. For cases in which the list differs from WP:PW guidelines, this is due to useful suggestions from reviewers that I feel should be adopted by WP:PW. I had minor concerns with the article, but I addressed them myself. GaryColemanFan (talk) 21:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
