I have unreviewed a page you curated
Hi, I'm Pichpich. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, United States Senate election in Idaho, 2020, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you.
Pichpich (talk) 16:01, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- PichpichAny particular reason why? - GalatzTalk 16:04, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- That was just a misclick and i didn't realize that you'd be getting this automated message. Sorry, Pichpich (talk) 17:38, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Regarding this edit, please look at the preceding edits to that page. An editor wants to create a page for Density regulated protein, also known as DENR, but thought the existing redirect needed to be deleted first. I simply created a disambiguation page because that editor clearly didn't know how to do it, and I presume that Density regulated protein will be created shortly. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 16:25, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- @86.17.222.157: We dont create disambiguation pages based on thinking something might be created. After it is created then yes, but until then the redirect should stand. - GalatzTalk 16:27, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- If you value blindingly following rules over helping editors who know about their subject, but not much about Wikipedia, then you are correct. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
I would just like to point about that a different editor just made the exact same edit I was trying to make on the article and Officially Goodenough immediately reverted back, calling it vandalism.
This tells me that this editor - no matter who tries to make that particular change - is always going to immediately revert it and call it vandalism. Looks like a case of WP:Own in my view.
I mean we can't ALL be vandals - can we?
Vjmlhds (talk) 19:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Vjmlhds: This is why I have opened an edit warring case in this matter here Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:OfficiallyGoodenough reported by User:Galatz (Result: ) - GalatzTalk 19:41, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- OK. I apologize before for my part. I lost my cool (a little) when he referred to me as a vandal. That kind of stuff is a heavy charge, and I didn't appreciate it. Vjmlhds (talk) 19:45, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Vjmlhds: No problem, and I even mentioned in my report that I appreciated the approach you took, with opening the lines of communication. - GalatzTalk 19:48, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

"Add it as a reference if you have it from a WP:RS)"
YOu told me that after I tried to add in KFC as a sponsor to the 2018 Royal Rumble PPV. No idea what that means, could you or someone else do it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.109.114.137 (talk) 21:00, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Joe Taub
You added a blp tag to Joe Taub. Since he is dead, I don’t think BLP applies. Even if it did, specifically which points in the article require additional sourcing in your opinion? Will be happy to research and add. TastyPoutine talk (if you dare) 03:00, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
- @TastyPoutine: Good catch thanks, I must have grabbed the wrong tag. In reality its really the info around his death that doesn't have any references, so I removed the top tag and placed a CN in the appropriate section. - GalatzTalk 03:04, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Mixed Tag Team
Hi. Why did you remove my editions? As far as I know, we include that line in every PPV, talking about the scripted nature of the tournament/PPV. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 13:36, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- @HHH Pedrigree: This is a TV show, the lead makes that clear. No TV has that line. - GalatzTalk 14:52, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- Well, the point is not TV or PPV or Internet. Is talking about a pro wrestling event. For example, the NXT Takeover events are Network/internet exclusive and include that line too. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 15:23, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- @HHH Pedrigree: But those are more like PPV events than TV shows. WWE Raw doesn't have it, nor does WWE SmackDown. This page is more like Cruiserweight Classic or WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament than any of the examples you have mentioned, which also do't include that language. - GalatzTalk 15:26, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- Here is a discussion about that line. "Is this useful?" As far as I remember, the project agreed to include that line. We can open a discussion in talk page to include/not include that line in tournaments like CWC, MYC, G1 Climax. I mean, a lot of people can find the article and think that the Mixed Tag Team is a legit tournament. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 15:28, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- @HHH Pedrigree: I don't see that happening. As many people pointed out during that discussion they can just click on professional wrestling in the lead and learn what it is. But looking at other examples no tournaments or TV shows have this, therefore there is no basis for including it. Therefore per WP:BRD you should have let the discussion happen before edit warring, which is what you chose to do instead. - GalatzTalk 15:40, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

Notability tag on Express Wi-Fi
Hey, I wonder why the tag regarding notability has been placed on Express Wi-Fi. Firstly, as mentioned in the article, "express wi-fi is a connectivity service by Facebook", I doubt it falling under notability of company or organization. Moreover, references have been provided in the article which provide full coverage of the article title by dedicating their news title to the service. I thought it would be enough to write about the topic. I'd really appreciate if you could explain the tag. Thanks :) Simranpreet singh (talk) 14:01, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Simranpreet singh: Just because its run by a big company doesn't make it independently notable. To me such a small article is just a WP:CFORK that could be included in one section on the main facebook page. To me there is a big difference between this article and Facebook Messenger. I do not see anything that demonstrates Express Wi-Fi is notable for its own article. - GalatzTalk 14:49, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- I won't really relate it to Messenger for notability, but rather to internet.org, which is a predecessor to Express Wi-Fi; but I agree that express wifi isn't that broad yet. I did consider the possibility of adding the content on facebook's article by making Express Wi-Fi a subsection but the page size of the article (~70kb) made me think of it again.
- If page size is not that big an issue, I certainly think it'd better to merge it to facebook's article as content on nothing more than introduction of the service in countries is found. It can be made stand-alone later if more information becomes available. If you suggest I can try to develop a consensus regarding it on fb's talk. Thanks!Simranpreet singh (talk) 16:43, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Simranpreet singh: In my opinion that makes the most sense, thanks. - GalatzTalk 16:48, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
The reason why I made this edit is that the anon (who is currently on his/her second block in the space of a week) had been making numerous edits introducing inaccurate information. I trust that you confirmed the accuracy of the information before reverting me. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 17:58, 14 January 2018 (UTC) @Suriel1981:As far as I have seen that user makes the edits prior to the show airing, but not inaccurate with the match up of the date. If Jan 4 was correct than Jan 11, which had already aired by the time you reverted, by default would be correct. - GalatzTalk 00:28, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Pleased
Hi. I'm pleased to see our annoying 'friend' from the Defiant Wrestling camp has, at last, been blocked. I really appreciated your professional approach to this subject, which is clearly dear to your editing heart. For my part, I'm glad I AfD-ed the articles, but regret having to become so being embroiled in a subject about which I, personally, have no knowledge or little interest. I'm sure our paths will cross again in the future. Kind regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 01:09, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Nick Moyes: Thanks! What a mess that whole thing was. Hopefully no more socks pop up. - GalatzTalk 14:22, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
WWE
Thank you for reverting my edit (you don't hear that very often!) to WWE. At the time I made the edit I was tidying up CWC, and Capitol Wrestling Corporation was then a redirect to WWE, so the wikilinks I removed were circular. I see now that the creation of that redirect has been reverted. I've made the appropriate change to CWC disambiguation page. Regards, Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 07:58, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Shhhnotsoloud: Thanks. That was a bizarre redirect to have been created and I dont know how I missed it for so long. I would get it if the page had just been created, but 3 years later with many edits since seemed a bit off to me. Glad you brought it to my attention. - GalatzTalk 14:36, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

Intentional or not
Perhaps it is not intentional. But please -- if you are going to quote MOS, don't undo what MOS clearly states is ok. That's either careless or intentionally disruptive. I hope the former, which is excusable, if regrettable.--2604:2000:E016:A700:94EF:F45A:4455:DBFB (talk) 06:56, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- It says may, not should be. Meaning its acceptable, but the full year is preferred. Look at Joe Montana or Brett Favre as example. They all use the full date range, even for consecutive years. Don Zimmer, Pedro Martínez, and Al Leiter, once again, all full date range. - GalatzTalk 13:09, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Where it is acceptable - leave it as it is. Don't change an existing acceptable format. Ever.
- There are multiple date formats that are acceptable, such as numbers or spelled-out-months for example, but the settled rule at the Probject is that - unless you are looking to engage in troll-like obsessive behavior to irritate people, and be blocked -- you don't edit war to move from one acceptable format to another acceptable format. You, however, keep on obsessively doing that, across a swath of articles. That's why people are finding your editing annoying in this regard.
- Please cut it out. It is not appropriate, it is not collegial, it is not collaborative, and it is not helpful. 2604:2000:E016:A700:3470:3BC9:318:68AB (talk) 05:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- I would love to know who these people are you are referring to and what examples you are referring to. Additionally it is appropriate to change it to the preferred method. - GalatzTalk 12:22, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Ocean's Thirteen
Hi,
How is all the material I'm trying to compile for a 'Trivia' part irrelevant? I take it that, initially, I was starting a sort of Edit warring with an active member that self-describes as "removing all edits from unregistered users, out of principle" (which seems a tad exaggerated to me).
I am taking a lot of time to add info on a movie, precisely about a few scenes, and the fictitious setting of its story within the actual city. As I know 'a little bit' Las Vegas myself and found lots of people wondering whether the Bank casino depicted in the movie actually existed, it seemed very relevant that an exhaustive and precise encyclopedia, such as Wikipedia, would include such information.
Maybe the title 'trivia' is unsuiting and that is the problem? But then, just re-titling the subpart would be enough instead of deleting all the changes I tediously make, trying to validate the infos and facts with links...
Thanks in advance for all infos and discussions trying to make that page the best possible. Letsseewhatwillwork (talk) 17:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Letsseewhatwillwork: I suggest you read the guidelines for this information, which you can find at WP:TRIVIA, which another user has pointed you to already. Additionally you should read WP:RS which will help you understand how to source information on Wikipedia. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy editing, just keep in mind the guidelines. Happy to help if you have specific questions. - GalatzTalk 17:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks, I am following the guidelines.
Well, indeed, naming one part "references in the dialogues" and another "locations" could probably solve the "trivia" question.
However, as for adding and referencing the sources, the slightly frustrating part is that during the time that I am working just on that, the post itself gets deleted before I can fully implement all that is required.
How can I then just post the "trivia part suggestion", with full code and links so far, and start a discussion, so that maybe someone else, out of consensus, decides to add those infos (and create one or more categories for that)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Letsseewhatwillwork (talk • contribs) 17:26, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
PS: by the way, does translating content that is already included and got consensus in another language on Wikipedia count as reliable source or a wiki-translating endeavor? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Letsseewhatwillwork (talk • contribs) 17:29, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Letsseewhatwillwork:No wikipedia cannot be used as a source, however the content might have a source there which you can then use as your source. As for playing with your edit, you can check out WP:SAND where you can fool around with your edits until you've got it right. It is a great place for new users to play with the different things they can do. - GalatzTalk 17:36, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Thanks.
Indeed, it might be useful to make the edit fully sourced before it gets removed.
And typically, getting the sources as identical to other sources of related Wikipedia articles needs that time.
I finally figured out how to start a talk from a mobile device (the talk button not being at the top left-hand corner menu where I was looking for it thanks to the info I was given... for computer users^^"), and although I currently cannot find it back, I hope it will stem into a good enough addition to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Letsseewhatwillwork (talk • contribs) 17:47, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Wrestling and operations systems
Galatz, looking at your contributions you seem to be focused on wrestling. Would you kindly notify the WP community about your motives to remove information about a secure operation system for a mobile device? The connection between the two fields is not really obvious. --Bernd.Brincken (talk) 12:59, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Bernd.Brincken:I edit lots of different type of articles, so you once again make absolutely no sense. I have thousands of edits regarding Israel, thoughts regarding baseball, thousands regarding TV shows and thousands regarding mobile devices. I have made the explanation extremely clear to you. If you disagree with me then utilize the dispute resolution. - GalatzTalk 14:02, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- This is not about the Nexus article, it's real curiosity what connects a wrestling fan with mobile phone systems software. Or the latter with Israel, baseball, TV shows. --Bernd.Brincken (talk) 21:51, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Storylines
Other wresting pages contain the header "Background" not "storylines"(unless contains different sub headings such as "production" I.e. articles like WrestleMania 34. So why on Earth are the Elimination Chamber (2018) and Fastlane (2018) articles an exception? Do your homework before you revert the edits! Zerobrains94 (talk) 16:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Fine
Keep the page incorrect if you want. Sorry for trying to make Wikipedia correct. Keep ganging up on people and ignoring every point they have. This is why people think Wikipedia isnt a reliable source. You put what you want and not what is correct. Goku4Star (talk) 20:17, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Goku4Star: Everything on wikipedia needs to be supported by what a WP:RS says. Not what a user states is correct, no matter what a source states. - GalatzTalk 20:20, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- How do you expect me to source a TV show? You just revert without bothering to answer my question. WWE uploads only small snippets to YouTube. It's very obviously a typo. Not to mention you guys are using a different time for Seth Rollins than what WWE.com lists. Why is that okay? Michael Cole said something like "Sheamus hasn't been having a very good week, he only lasted 2 seconds in the Royal Rumble." Do you even watch the product?

Wrestlemania Speculation
Including Brock Lesnar is a form of speculation. It may be that he is champion at this precise moment in time and that story lines may be indicating he is going to be champion. It is though not confirmed. The final PPV's have to take place. Lesnar may also have a match at Elimination Chamber, which is yet to be announced. Please do not keep re-adding Lesnar to the match card or the type of match which the Universal title will be defended in until after the PPV's before Wrestlemania have concluded and the match actually confirmed. Sport and politics (talk) 12:44, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

2018 Royal Rumble
Do not insert incorrect information back into the article or make wholesale reverts when you disagree with one. First, one edit was correcting Seth Rollins time which was wrong even according to WWE's website, to which you reverted to non-sourced information. Second, the onus is on you to prove that WWE's website was not a typo as it appears to be. Basically every other reference on the internet refers to Sheamus' time as two seconds, or that he almost matched Santino Marella's time of 1 second years ago. If it is 20 seconds, you'll have no problem verifying that with another reference saying it was twenty, then we can change it to twenty and say it's disputed. A reliable source can make mistakes and we don't have to treat every character as gospel if we know it's inaccurate. You won't find anything that backs up twenty seconds because the logic doesn't hold when you compare it to the rest of the match. The only argument you could possibly have is that they counted how much time he spent outside the ring, and according to WWE, Heath Slater entered fifth, lasted until eleventh and only spent thirty-three seconds in the match. This is because they didn't count how much time he spent flopping around the outside of the ring. The only thing that matters is once they enter the ring, and you know as well as anyone it was two seconds, so stop inserting garbage and presenting it as fact. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 16:30, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Moe Epsilon: Incorrect, there is an on going discussion which you chose to ignore, knowing it was there, and unilaterally decided what should be there. - GalatzTalk 16:33, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, I see that your only argument is WP:RS and anyone else being WP:OR, which is some kind of bullshit cop-out to post garbage onto Wikipedia. Your arguments are "maybe they have special criteria" which is no and "have you checked that outside time doesn't count" which as I explained above, is also no. Do you have anything else saying twenty seconds other than WWE's website? Regards, — Moe Epsilon 16:41, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Moe Epsilon: This is not the place for this discussion. Gain consensus in the talk page, per WP:BRD which your edits are in violation of. - GalatzTalk 17:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- So you've given up trying to quote policy and moved to, "you're in violation of an essay", got it.

- So you've given up trying to quote policy and moved to, "you're in violation of an essay", got it. This is the exact place for the discussion since you seem to be the main crusader for this nonsense. Like I said, do you have another reference, or are you going to dodge the question again?

- @Moe Epsilon: This is not the place for this discussion. Gain consensus in the talk page, per WP:BRD which your edits are in violation of. - GalatzTalk 17:00, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yeah, I see that your only argument is WP:RS and anyone else being WP:OR, which is some kind of bullshit cop-out to post garbage onto Wikipedia. Your arguments are "maybe they have special criteria" which is no and "have you checked that outside time doesn't count" which as I explained above, is also no. Do you have anything else saying twenty seconds other than WWE's website? Regards, — Moe Epsilon 16:41, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Apologies
As I said here, apologies for my earlier comments at ANI [1]. I did not read your initial comment properly and thought the extent of the incivility was a single instance of calling someone a wanker, which while not ideal my experience at ANI suggests to me is not the sort of thing ever likely to lead to action. However with the "typical of tiny endowed males" part, I do agree that the behaviour was worthy of bringing to ANI, whether or not any action results. Nil Einne (talk) 00:26, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Nil Einne: No problem. I probably would not have brought it for just that, but the totality of everything definitely made me think this user is not interested in working with other and or even considering being polite. - GalatzTalk 00:52, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for reverting the edits that weren't an addition of an empty section. I thought that all of that IP's changes were doing this - apparently not all of them ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:56, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Oshwah: I am guessing this is the same IP user that I have seen do similar stuff in the past. They come in and make great edits and then seem to get lazy and just add empty sections instead. - GalatzTalk 03:01, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Galatz! Correct, this does seem like the user you're describing. It's interesting that you're reverting so many pages back - I remember spot-checking this user's edits quite well and found all of the changes I saw to simply be the addition of empty sections. Apparently I didn't spot-check well enough, as you've found over 10 changes I reverted that I shouldn't have. Again, thanks for undoing those - I really do appreciate that. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:04, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Oshwah: As soon as this IP was blocked, the exact same edits began being made by a user [2]. Both users also have a tendency to edit season articles for sports. Do you think there is enough to open a WP:SOCK investigation into block evasion? - GalatzTalk 15:28, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- The user you're referring to has been around for some time (account creation was in January 2016), and the edits made to that article in comparison (1, 2) don't seem to be the same thing or made in the same section or area. Sure, it can be seen as suspicious that two edits were made within a somewhat close proximity of one another timeline-wise, but looking into this matter in a "big picture" perspective doesn't give me anything that I see as solid evidence that the IP continued the disruption as this user. Plus, there wouldn't be much (if anything) that anyone could do in an SPI anyways, since that noticeboard is for proving that two different accounts are being operated by the same person. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to answer them and assist you further. Cheers, and happy editing - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:57, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Oshwah: There are definitely some strange similarities in the users edits. Take a look at this. Last month the IP address was adding empty championship tables, with only empty brackets for the incoming champion and nothing else, see here [3]. On the exact same page, the registered user just made the exact same type of unhelpful edits [4]. Seems a little bit more than just a coincidence to me. - GalatzTalk 03:02, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Why u reputed tag i puted the article with reliable sources like u guys said the content is three has nothing to do with the previous one TheAnthem67 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:02, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- @TheAnthem67: I have zero idea what you just wrote. - GalatzTalk 16:20, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
Sorry
Im sorry for saying do what u have to with WrestleCircus im sorry for what i said and sorry for the problems i just want to start new a journey in wikipedia u now TheAnthem67 (talk)
- @TheAnthem67: I know nothing about the federation and have not read through the entire article. I came to it because you added it as a notable independent yet I see no justification for that, plus it was a direct violation of WP:BRD. After you did that I notice you removed the PROD from an article you created which I reverted because you cannot. Follow the instruction and contest it properly. Just click the huge blue button in the box, you cannot miss it. If it survives the PROD then create your case and bring it to the talk page for why you think it should be listed with the notable ones. - GalatzTalk 16:28, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

A problem
What is ur problem with me and my articles and please don't be false, though cause I'm talking about this "Thanks for deleting WrestleCircus. This same user just did the same thing with creating a draft of Defiant Wrestling which has been deleted more than once. Perhaps should this be SALTed like the other one? - GalatzTalk 16:31, 21 February 2018 (UTC)"
What are u gonna do are u gonna delete and salt each and every article that I create?TheAnthem67 (talk) 16:45, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- I didn't delete any article of yours, nor did I nominate any (unless of course you are admitting to being a SOCK and creating Defiant). I have noticed a trend with you and all your other SOCK accounts however. There are procedures for a reason and you seem to think you are above them. All I keep doing is pointing out the policies and guidelines to you, which you don't seem to like. - GalatzTalk 16:55, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
A sock, what? Dude, what are u talking about? and no, like I told I wanna start a new journey but do u know what? Point me all the policies and guides to understand what this, wikipedia is all about.TheAnthem67 (talk) 16:59, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Strange how you claim to be new, after Defiant article was deleted yet you created an identical article. Amazing how you were able to do that. You also say new journey, what was the old one?
- You can read all about being a sock here WP:SOCK. You can read about the article for deletion process at WP:AFD. You can read about restoring your edits after the have been undone at WP:BRD. You can see about creating an article that was deleted already here, and other great info on creating articles at WP:YFA. - GalatzTalk 17:10, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
You continue to change acceptable formats
This is per MOS an acceptable format.
See MOS:DATERANGE: "Two-digit ending years (1881–82 ... may be used in any of the following cases: (1) two consecutive years")..."
And since it is the first used format do not change it. Please stop changing already chosen acceptable formats.

This is not the first time this discussion has been engaged.
- Correct and I explained how it works to you there. I also provided you with tons of examples of why you are incorrect. If you don't agree go to dispute resolution. - GalatzTalk 18:27, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
You are going around wikipedia acting as though it says just the opposite. As though it says it "may not" be used.
This is a waste of everyones time.

Weird userspace page
Hi Galatz. I noticed that, shortly before TheAnthem67 got himself blocked as a sockpuppet, he created User:Galatz/Field of Honor (2014). I have no idea why he made this in your userspace but I thought I should drop you a note in case you were not aware of it existing did not want it in you userspace. --DanielRigal (talk) 00:41, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
- @DanielRigal: thanks, he actually created it but it was speedy deleted after his ban since only he edited it. I request the admin move it to my user space since I was planning on creating the page anyway, so I wanted to use it as the basis for creating the actual article. Thank you for the heads up. - GalatzTalk 00:43, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Triplemania
Well the main page actually should be too according to the Manual of Style Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#Foreign terms. Right now I am fixing XXVI with a revert, the main Triplemania page can be fixed subsequently. MPJ-DK 22:54, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
- @MPJ-DK: Where does it say made up words for a foreign event should be in italics? And even if it did, proper names should not be in Italics, as the link you gave clearly states. - GalatzTalk 13:27, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- You know I am really not in the mood to argure this or get into an edit war over italics, so whichever you feel like. MPJ-DK 15:08, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
- I did not have time to look for this previously, but after reflecting on it I believe that wrestling PPVs/Major shows should follow the italics approach as outlined in Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Titles#Major works - which includes television shows, series etc. Reading that WrestleMania VII should actually be WrestleMania VII if we follow this MOS. MPJ-DK 03:45, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
- @MPJ-DK: Our consensus has always been that PPV events fall more in line with recurring sporting events such as World Series which is not in italics, rather than a TV show which is. This is why our style guide at WP:PW/SG specifically says to not put PPV event names in italics. This was added to the guide 10 years ago to avoid this confusion [5]. This is also clear because MOS:TVNOW does not apply, as these are all written in past tense, if it were a TV show every article should be written in present tense. - GalatzTalk 11:22, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
- Okay this is where the conversation veers off into the abyss of no return. The tense it is written in? This is clearly pointless now. MPJ-DK 16:59, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
- @MPJ-DK: How do you figure its veering off? Either its more like a TV show or its more like a sporting event. My point is that everything about them is like a sporting event, italics, tense, etc. The two go together. You can't argue its a TV show for the purpose of italics in the title, but an event for the tense. It needs to be treated consistently, and clearly the style guide has been built based on the feeling its more like a sporting event than a TV show. If you disagree then open the discussion at the wikiproject and try to gain a consensus, but right now the current guide clearly says its not in italics. - GalatzTalk 17:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

WP:CUSTOMSIG When customizing your signature, please keep the following in mind:
- A customised signature should make it easy to identify the username, to visit the user's talk-page, and preferably user page.
- A distracting, confusing, or otherwise unsuitable signature may adversely affect other users. For example, some editors find that long formatting disrupts discourse on talk pages, or makes working in the edit window more difficult.
- Complicated signatures contain a lot of code ("markup") that is revealed in the edit window, and can take up unnecessary amounts of narrative space, which can make both reading and editing harder.
- @Galatz: BusriderSF2015 (talk) 2:34PM, 16 March 2018 (PT)
- @BusriderSF2015: As you have been told before, per WP:SIGLINK
Signatures must include at least one direct internal link to your user page, user talk page, or contributions page; this allows other editors easy access to your talk page and contributions log. The lack of such a link is widely viewed as obstructive.

Years in professional wrestling
Hello Galatz, remember me from a while ago, well i was looking at 2018 in professional wrestling and i noticed that the 'calendar of notable events' section looks a bit messy with all the notes put into each event, maybe it could be replaced with an event section for every promotion separately, just like the one before. Please let me know what you think, thanks. The Optimistic One (talk) 05:03, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- @The Optimistic One: I do not see what is messy about it, nor do I see how having it organized by company rather than month would change what your concerns are. The point of a year summary is to get everything in one place that summarizes everything in that year. If you wanted to just know about WWE events you can just go to List of WWE Network events#2018, so why separate them out here?
- Take a look at any sport year summary 2017 in basketball as an example. They list national championships in one section divided up by championship, current version has a championship section broken up similarly. They then list everything by country of events in the same table, we are now listed everything in the same table. 2017 in association football is set up similar to basketball. 2017 in baseball is actually set up even more similar to what we have right not. So what exactly is your reasoning that professional wrestling should be different than everything else? - GalatzTalk 13:28, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

It is unnecessary to add that James Ellsworth helped Carmella win the Womens's MITB Ladder match in the History of WWE article
This article is aimed to summarize historical facts like introduction of the WWE Network or the first women's MITB ladder match, not give elaborated details of individual achievements. You gave details of James Ellsworth helping Carmella win the match which is unnecessary, and such information should go to their individual articles. This is not an article to give match details, otherwise there have been countless MITB ladder matches in which people interfered on behalf of wrestlers (like Paul Heyman interfered in the 2013 one of the MITB ladder match to cost CM Punk the match). We should only summarize significant matches not elaborate details. For instance there is no information that Andre The Giant vacated the WWF Championship due to a controversial ending in the Main Event 1988 when Hogan raised his arms while the referee made the counts. There isw no info even about the event though it was historic, it had 33 million viewers largest number for a wrestling match/show in history. It is mentioned "In August 2002, Shawn Michaels would also return as a wrestler at SummerSlam after a hiatus of over four years." Neither the result of the match or name of his opponent is given, only thing relevant was his return because he is a legend thats why it is mentioned. Match details are for the individual articles of HBK's wikipedia and the wikipedia on SummerSlam 2002. So why should we give the details of the con controversial ending here? Is not mentioning that this is a controversial ending enough? These details regarding James Ellsworth are not necessary, only thing note worthy in a history article is that it being the first women's MITB match and because of "controversial ending" a rematch was held. So I request that the info on James Ellsworth be removed, but I leave the decision to you, but there is nothing noteworthy specifically mentioning what the controversial ending to the match was. This is just a request, but I leave the choice to you... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeptchjijihhtgghbyjhhmkkkl (talk • contribs) 18:37, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

- @LM2000: I felt that when we have a page dedicated to each year we can discuss that sort of stuff to some degree as an aftermath. Before when we had one page for just the Hall of Fame it didn't belong. Part of what makes the individual years notable however is the coverage they get later, per WP:LASTING. The main page I agree it has no place, but for the individual years it tells more of a story. Similarly on the main page we never went into what happened with madusa and why she was gone for so many years, or Jarrett or Bruno, but in the individual year pages we have the place to discuss. Not in the section about the ceremony or the Hall of Fame itself, but as background or aftermath. Even though 1996 doesn't have its own article, I set it up like it in the new format, as text rather than in the table where it definitely didn't belong. - GalatzTalk 10:42, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Help with New York Life?
Hi there, Galatz! I've been looking around for active editors who have experience editing articles about insurance companies, and saw your name in the edit histories of a couple of pages. Would you potentially be interested to help with reviewing some proposed updates to New York Life Insurance Company? I've been seeking some updates on behalf of the company and would love to get feedback from an editor like yourself who has some knowledge about similar companies. My current request is to add a brief overview of the company's insurance operations; at present, there's essentially nothing about this in the article, aside from a mention in the infobox of the major types of insurance. If you're able to take a look, it would be much appreciated! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 21:11, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
WWE Hall of fame 2013
Hi. During the last episode of XPac 12360, Sean Waltman said D-Generation X would be inducted if Bruno declined their invitation to the Hall fo Fame. Do you think we can include it in the article? --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:04, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
- @HHH Pedrigree:That is obviously an unsubstantiated claim. I suppose there is some possibility that in the aftermath section it could be written in a way that say Sean Waltman claims it...but not sure I have ever seen similar claims in other articles before. - GalatzTalk 13:00, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Well, these articles are new. For example, in 2010 Honky Tonk man declined the invitation. https://411mania.com/wrestling/the-honky-tonk-man-declines-induction-into-the-wwe-hall-of-fame/ I don't know if we can include these kind of thing, the source are the wrestlers itselfs, not Meltzer rumors. Maybe some kind of "professional wrestler Sean Waltman claimed DX would be..." --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- @HHH Pedrigree: Yeah. I meant in terms of, do we ever include "Roman Reigns said he was supposed to win the match but it was changed at the last minute..." Also these article right now are set up as events, so I am not sure what section that would go in, aftermath? - GalatzTalk 13:22, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- Well, At SummerSlam 2010 "According to Jericho and Edge, the original plan was to put Barrett and The Nexus over and establish them as legitimate threats to WWE. However, Cena refused to lose to The Nexus as he thought it would make him look weak..." I don't know, maybe background? In a background section we can explain the career or the wrestlers or maybe, previous issues with WWE (ex, Sammartino declined the invitarion several times, Savage negatives to WWE unless he was inducteed with his brother and father as Poffo Family...) --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 14:13, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
- I dont think I have anything on Bruno, but I did include similar things in background about Jarrett for this years. I guess if you wanted to go into the details about why Bruno had been distant for so long and tag this at the end it makes sense. - GalatzTalk 01:06, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

According to your definition, what would be a reliable source worthy of covering the information? Because Saudi Arabia's poor women's rights and LGBTQ+ rights record is common knowledge at this point. Tom Danson (talk) 17:59, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Tom Danson: You are drawing your own conclusions (or The Sun or Mirror), that women cannot compete due to that. You need a source that is reliable that confirms that is why. - GalatzTalk 18:58, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Galatz: Then why not just modify the wording of that one clause rather than delete the whole section as you did? It sounds to me like you are complicit in silencing any legitimate concerns...especially disheartening considering you're Israeli and the nation with these cruel laws wants yours wiped off the face of the earth. Tom Danson (talk) 19:23, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Tom Danson: My issue is not with the content, my issue is you need a reliable source that states these things are fact. Because its reception/criticism there is a little bit more leniency in terms of their opinion on it, because they can say they dont like the fact that women aren't allowed at the event, or that gay people aren't allowed at the event, but you first need a WP:RS that says women/gays are not allowed there. Since I have not seen anything from a RS stating that, that is why I removed the entire thing. But if you can find a RS that says women are not allowed, then the mirror being critical of it is fine to include, but you first need something reliable saying that they aren't. - GalatzTalk 21:11, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Founding of WWE
Then if that's the case, then why did it say it say the WWE was founded in 1952 by Vincent K. and Linda McMahon? There's no possible way Vince K. McMahon could've founded the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment in January 1952 when he was 6 years old. I mean, I know Vince McMahon is an intelligent man, but I don't think it's in any way possible for a 6 year old child to start up a wrestling company. Powderkegg (talk) 19:01, 30 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Powderkegg: A bunch of kids did start a wrestling promotion back in the 80s I believe. They even had their own TV show. But when it comes to Vince McMahon, he didn't start the WWE. He took it over from his father Vince McMahon Sr. who took it over from his dad Roderick McMahon and Toots Mondt. Vince Sr. ran it as WWWF than WWF til 1982 when Vince Jr. bought it from his Vince Sr. In essence It's right in the article. If the infobox is wrong, you fix. But some might deem that a controversial edit. If you want to bring it up, you can do on the WWE talk page and or the professional wrestling project talk page. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 02:22, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
- I think the confusion is that WWE, the entity we know now, was founded in 1982 by Vince McMahon, as Titan Sports. His grandfather started Capital Wrestling, which eventually became WWWF, then WWF. When Titan went public it was renamed to WWFE, while the subsidiary continued to operate as WWF. Then in the early 2000s both became known as WWE. - GalatzTalk 02:33, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Vengeance and Night of Champions
I posted this on 2 different talk pages but didn’t get a reply but WWE lists them as seperate events. In the NoC archives its listed from 2007-2015, link - http://www.wwe.com/shows/nightofchampions/archive. It seems they consider them seperate and the 2007 event is considered a dual event.

Unnecessary revert of part of the WWE Hall of Fame (2018) article
You have did a uncalled for and unnecessary revert of my edit on the "Event" section of the article on this year's WWE Hall of Fame even before you have checked that the first part of that section and realizing that the event DIDN'T take place before WrestleMania XXX but before WM 34! As such, I hope you undo the revert and don't make this mistake again. Kyrios320 (talk) 15:42, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Heavy Machinery and Street Profits articles.
Hi Galatz. I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly at all so if not I apologize. I recently set up two articles for official tag teams competing in NXT (WWE brand), namely The Street Profits and Heavy Machinery. To be very honest with you, I'm quite new to to the editing side of Wikipedia but have been a major fan of the site, in general, since its inception. I may have unknowingly broken rules and if I have, I'm sorry for that. I'd like to maintain the above named pages if possible and I promise to look after their upkeep with references but at the same time not to pointlessly add redundant information.
Thank you for your time — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fwaig (talk • contribs) 13:15, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Fwaig: The issue with the page is that currently they do not meet WP:GNG which is why they were deleted based on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heavy Machinery (professional wrestling) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Street Profits. - GalatzTalk 13:24, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
@User:Galatz . Thank you for replying. I see. So do I need to include a wider variety of sources?
- @Fwaig: At this point those two pages will likely be deleted again because as I said, they currently do not meeting WP:GNG. A team/stable takes a lot longer usually than two individuals to become notable. If they broke up tomorrow would they ever be remembered? As an example, The Undisputed Era just got their own page after doing a lot more over a much longer period of time than these teams. - GalatzTalk 13:53, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Galatz:I suppose that comes down to what one's interpretation of notable is. Heavy Machinery are around since 2016 and are the longest serving legitimate tag team on the NXT brand. I take your point on their achievements though. I'd be happy to monitor the page's progress and keep things up to date and free of spam if it's allowed to stay, as well as adding some more outside and recognised sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fwaig (talk • contribs) 14:15, 24 May 2018 (UTC) Fwaig (talk) 14:18, 24 May 2018 (UTC) User:Fwaig

NPR Newsletter No.11 25 May 2018
ACTRIAL:
- WP:ACREQ has been implemented. The flow at the feed has dropped back to the levels during the trial. However, the backlog is on the rise again so please consider reviewing a few extra articles each day; a backlog approaching 5,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.
Deletion tags
- Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders. They require your further verification.
Backlog drive:
- A backlog drive will take place from 10 through 20 June. Check out our talk page at WT:NPR for more details. NOTE: It is extremely important that we focus on quality reviewing. Despite our goal of reducing the backlog as much as possible, please do not rush while reviewing.
Editathons
- There will be a large increase in the number of editathons in June. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the 'move to draft' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.
Paid editing - new policy
- Now that ACTRIAL is ACREQ, please be sure to look for tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to WP:COIN if necessary. There is a new global WMF policy that requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.
Subject-specific notability guidelines
- The box at the right contains each of the subject-specific notability guidelines, please review any that are relevant BEFORE nominating an article for deletion.
- Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves with the new version of the notability guidelines for organisations and companies.
Not English
- A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with WP:NPPNE. Check in Google for the language and content, tag as required, then move to draft if they do have potential.
News
- Development is underway by the WMF on upgrades to the New Pages Feed, in particular ORES features that will help to identify COPYVIOs, and more granular options for selecting articles to review.
- The next issue of The Signpost has been published. The newspaper is one of the best ways to stay up to date with news and new developments. between our newsletters.

- @Stco23: Do you have a source to support your claim? - GalatzTalk 21:08, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Two purposes for categories
Re: today's reverts, please see Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization#What is the purpose of categories?. In this case, Ohio Valley Wrestling is a sub-topic of the topic "Sports in Louisville, Kentucky".

- To editor Stevietheman: Per WP:PW/SG "Categories should not include sports specific categories." It is entertainment, not a sport. If you want to create Category:Entertainment in Louisville, Kentucky go right ahead and create it then add this to it. This would be consistent with Category:Professional wrestling in the United States - GalatzTalk 17:35, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Violations of the Manual of Style
Hello Galatz,
The Manual of Style states:
"An in-universe perspective describes the narrative (or a fictional element of the narrative, such as characters, places, groups, and lore) from the vantage of characters within the fictional universe, treating it as if it were real and ignoring real-world context and sourced analysis. Many fan wikis and fan websites (see below) take this approach, but it should not be used for Wikipedia articles. An in-universe perspective can be misleading to the reader, who may have trouble differentiating between fact and fiction within the article. Furthermore, articles with an in-universe perspective are more likely to include unverifiable original research due to reliance on the primary source. Most importantly, in-universe perspective defies community consensus as to what we do not want Wikipedia to be."
That community consensus has just been reinforced quite strongly at AN with regards to the scripted and acted fictional events called "professional wrestling". As an administrator, I intend to enforce that consensus.
The pro wrestling guideline you linked to says that all pro wrestling content must comply with this section of the MOS. The content from Israeli Wrestling League that we discussed at AN is in direct and blatant violation of the MOS and therefore that guideline. That guideline has serious problems that I will discuss later but at least it is a start.
The lead of the article does not state that the events produced by this Israeli company are scripted fictional performances and the article presents these events as actual athletic competitions. Completely unacceptable. There is no distinct plot section which describes the plot of these works of fiction. Your comparison to film articles is absurd, since all well-written fiction film articles describe the plot details in a separate plot section, and never hint or imply that the fiction is real. Your comparisons to articles about actual sporting events are also invalid since these pro wrestling events are not sporting competitions in any sense, but performed works of fiction.
I am not biased for or against the pro wrestling topic area since clearly this style of live fictional entertainment is notable and popular, and deserves coverage in this encyclopedia, in full and rigorous compliance with our policies and guidelines. I occasionally watched and enjoyed and laughed at these performances on TV as a child over 50 years ago, but was quite surprised that many other children thought that pro wrestling was real rather than a fictional performance.
I am biased instead in favor of a high quality encyclopedia that never confuses fictional performances with athletic events, and biased against kayfabe garbage being presented as real. This is simply not negotiable.
I see that you are a major contributor to Israeli Wrestling League, an article with severe problems that is now under discretionary sanctions. If you are going to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, then remove every trace of kayfebe from that article except in a separate plot section and make it clear in the lead and throughout the article that these events are scripted fictional performances. I will be watching carefully. Please keep me posted. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:10, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
- @Cullen328: I have added the disclaimer to the top of the events section, outside of there everything either focuses on the championship or the organization itself. All championship articles do have a certain sense of in universe depending on how you look at it, but to say XXX lost to YYY or AAA beat BBB is not inaccurate, even though that outcome was predetermined. That is where professional wrestling falls into the gray area, where things do actually happen, even if its predetermined. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 11:04, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Hello Galatz. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Amir Jordan, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: WWE signing and competing in notable tournament are claims of significance. Thank you. SoWhy 07:54, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

Professional wrestling moves
Hello. I used to be an active editor on Wikipedia a number of years ago. I'd like to know why the professional wrestling moves are being taken out of the biographies of wrestlers? Within the scope of professional wrestling, the moves they use, the most significant ones are generally a part of their character, and if a biography is written and someone plays a character, leaving that information out makes the biography incomplete. Plus, for those seeking knowledge, it often linked to other pages which would detail what the moves are. In the 15+ years I've been using Wikipedia, the moves have always been there. I'm just wondering as to why the sudden change? And where did the consensus take place to remove the moves to begin with? Jลмєs Mลxx™ Msg me 05:56, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- Hi James Maxx, you can see the related discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling#Trying to gain clarity (closed).LM2000 (talk) 08:06, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
- @James Maxx: The decision was that this information, if important, should be covered in the article itself. The moves you mention, if important to the performer, will be discussed in the text with the relevant links. - Galatz גאליץשיחה Talk 12:44, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
