Fair use rationale for Image:WM2hogan.jpg

Image:WM2hogan.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Orphaned references in WrestleMania 2

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of WrestleMania 2's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "WWF6389Book":

• From Jake Roberts: Cawthon, Graham (2013). the History of Professional Wrestling Vol 1: WWF 1963 - 1989. CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. ISBN 1492825972.
• From The Iron Sheik: Cawthorn, Graham (2013). the History of Professional Wrestling Vol 1: WWF 1963 - 1989. CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform. ISBN 1492825972.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 04:05, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

2nd Main event

The tag team title is listed as the 2nd main event but in all promo material and video's the main event from Chicago was the 20 man over the top Battle royal. I'll leave it as is for now, but unless I see a good argument for keeping it I will change the article to reflect all the promotional material and video's from back in 1986.Bagna cauda (talk) 11:38, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Reality check. The last match on the Chicago segment was the main event. The last match on any event is the main event. That was the tag team title match and not the battle royal. Practical fact and no amount of promotional material will change that. Mega Z090 (talk) 10:37, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

I believe the Chicago portion should be listed as a double main event with the battle royal and the tag title match. The ring announcer, prior to introducing Gene Okerlund for the battle royal, announced that it was time for the Chicago portion of the main event. Therefore, I believe both matches should be listed.

GA Push

Hi All,

I am looking to move this article for an eventual GA nomination, and pinging the top contributers UnqstnableTruth, TJ Spyke, NiciVampireHeart and Galatz, to make sure you don't have any issues with a potential GA review. I have expanded the reception section (It still needs some work), moved the on-air personel into a better looking table, and removed all citations from the Lede. I have also nominated the page to WP:GOCE for an inspection.

Does anyone have any thoughts on the article, or have any things that need significant improvement? Many thanks for your time. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:27, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Opening comments

I had intended on reviewing this earlier but I saw this disappear from the WP:PW alerts and assumed someone else had gotten to it before I had the chance. This is my first time reviewing so it should be an interesting experience.LM2000 (talk) 08:38, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you very much! I always enjoy doing reviews, and I hope you do to. I'll do my best to answer any questions. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:11, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your time LM2000, I have made some changes to the article as below. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Lead

• WrestleMania professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation - Add (WWF) after World Wrestling Federation, the acronym is used repeatedly throughout article.

I agree. I will change Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• (The first WrestleMania was available only on a pay-per-view basis in select areas) - Is there any way to take this out of parentheses? I'd recommend making a footnote.

I've made it a note. Makes perfect sense. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Lee Vilenski it's in between periods like ". [a]." Should be like ".[a]".

 Done - My mistake, edited it too quickly. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:01, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• At Chicago there was a 20-man battle royal - comma between "Chicago" and "there"

 Done Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Main body

• The first paragraph in "Background" is exclusively about celebrities. This should be turned into a section like WrestleMania 31#Celebrities with a see also link to List of celebrities involved with WrestleMania.

Ok, I took a look. Makes sense. I'll transfer this into two sections. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• Likewise, the second paragraph is about broadcasters. There should be a section like WrestleMania 32#Broadcasters.

Same as above, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:14, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• Per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Archive 98#Requests for comment, the first sentence in the storyline section should be simplified to:"The card featured twelve matches, which resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by the WWF. Storylines were produced on primary television programs..."

I think I changed this correctly. I didn't realise this was part of the MOS. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• Should there be a mention about Pedro Morales and Bruno Sammartino wrestling their only WrestleMania match in the battle royal?

Hmm,  Not done - Where would it go? I feel that this would be suitible for the aftermath section, but only really as a final sentence.

Yea, maybe it's not suitable. Might even be considered trivia. I personally thought this was a weird fact considering their importance to the history of the company though.

• Link Ozzy Osbourne

 Done Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• "Hogan on-and-off for the World Heavyweight Championship during the next 1 1/2 years" - small numbers should usually be spelled out. Try "year and half" instead.

 Done Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:26, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

• "André would return but compete under a mask as part of a new team called The Machines" - Link The Machines (professional wrestling)

 Done

• "felt more like a Saturday Night Main Event match" - Saturday Night Main Event needs to be italicized

 Done

• "we wouldn't get a great-in-total WrestleMania until X" - Link WrestleMania X

 Done

External links

• Why is ⍌234⍍ linked?

It's something to do with the date transfer tool I've been using. Not sure why. I have edited it. It should have been a category for April events. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 09:13, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
