WCW Hall of Fame[edit]

This is a first for professional wrestling, considering that this is a Hall of Fame that only existed for three years. It is, in a way but not much, modeled after the List of members of the WWE Hall of Fame FL. I created it 2 days ago, and finished yesterday, and considering it hasn't been heavily updated or expanded since its creation in 2006 (because its an inactive Hall of Fame), stability shouldn't be an issue. Note to the source checker, the general ref from "Steelcagematch.com" may be questionable, however, the publisher is in a way not reliable (or yet to be proven) but the information is gathered from videos from the Hall of Fame ceremonies, which are on that website. Some of the information is also from when WCW was still active, since the videos are copyrighted by that company. If its questionable, it can be removed since I'm using {{cite episode}} as well to cite that information. For the "Professional Wrestling Museum" source, it is a collection of information from the 90s and back, and this source has been credited by CNN, AOL, and other prominent media sources, as stated in their credits. Any other comments will be addressed.--Truco 02:46, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved issues, Dabomb87 (talk)

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)

  • "It was established in 1993 to honor wrestlers that" Use "who", not "that", for people.
  • "which mostly included "What do you mean by "which"
    • I meant, that the "alumni included those from the stated promotions" I reworded that anyhow.--Truco 03:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Inductees received commemorative plaques with the their names on it"-->Inductees received commemorative plaques that had their names inscribed on it
  • "of WWE, NWA, JCP, and WCW." Add "the" after "of".
    • Not Done. Although it seems that "the" fits before "WWE", per consensus at WP:PW and by how the company writes its acronyms in sentences, they do not state "the WWE".--Truco 03:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Also inducted that year was Eddie Graham, who was the first posthumous inductee into the Hall of Fame."--> Eddie Graham was also inducted that year; he was the first posthumous inductee into the Hall of Fame.
  • "The Crusher, Dick the Bruiser, Gagne, and Thesz were the only former World Heavyweight Champions to be inducted. "-->The Crusher, Dick the Bruiser, Gagne, and Thesz were the only former World Heavyweight Champions to have been inducted.

Done.--Truco 03:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Solie was the only non-wrestler to be inducted into the Hall of Fame."-->Solie was the only non-wrestler to have been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
  • "Class of 1995" These are official names, right?
  • "WCW World Tag Team Championship (4-times)[16]" Should not be hyphenated. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I must have missed that.--Truco 03:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Images

  • File:Dusty.png needs a source.
    • How can I source it if the copyright holder uploaded it to Wikipedia?
      • Contact the uploader and ask him to verify that the image is his own work. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • That uploader hasn't been on Wikipedia for over 6 months, so It'll be best if I remove it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Truco (talk • contribs)
          • I removed that image.--Truco 17:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Likewise File:Harley race.jpg.
    • Likewise to my comment to the Dust.png pic.--Truco 03:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Contact the uploader and ask him to verify that the image is his own work. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • I contacted him, hopefully he replies soon enough and adds the information.--Truco 03:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • I removed this one as well because this uploader tends to have personal problems with me, so I doubt he will add it, so I removed it.--Truco 17:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • File:Wcwhof.jpg needs a stronger fair use rationale. The FUR doesn't illustrate how the image's presence "would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, [and that] its omission would be detrimental to that understanding" per NFC Criterion 8. Maybe add info about how the poster is used to identify the association or something like that. Dabomb87 (talk) 02:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:36, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Publications should be in italics (ref 19, St. Petersburg Times)
  • For the steelcagematch.com site, there are two questions that must be answered:
    • Does it have the right to post the videos on its website?
      • They are videos released into the public by Youtube users. WWE currently owns WCW assets, which include their footage. At the moment, WWE tends to remove videos that are copyrighted by their company, though, they don't do that for WCW or ECW videos because the footage was created by the former company and not themselves. So basically, the website has the free right to post the videos, if it were wrong, WWE would have contacted the website or would have removed them by now from Youtube.--Truco 03:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • So, are the youtube videos copyright infringement? That is, are they there with the consent of the creator? Or did the WWE/WCW release the videos, making the videos legal without question? Dabomb87 (talk) 03:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • The creator was WCW, but that company does not exist anymore after it went bankrupt and WWE bought the assets. Seeing the videos, it looks like it is original footage of the event from when it was released on VHS by WCW. If it were from WWE, the WWE would have edited the video and possibly have added the WWE logo to the screen. So I see it as WWE/WCW releasing the videos, and making the videos legal without question.--Truco 03:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • What information is sourced to it, and how reliable is the site for those specific facts? Dabomb87 (talk) 02:54, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Some of the lead is source to it, like the list of inductees and "which wrestlers were chosen for the HoF", and that's mainly it, in addition to the videos. --Truco 03:09, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
        • Is the information sourced by this website supported by a more reliable source (such as the episode mentioned in your nomination statement)? Dabomb87 (talk) 03:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well the list of wrestlers can be sourced with the respective episodes, the only thing I might need it for is the statement about which wrestlers are inducted into the HoF. Some of it is verified by the episodes, but the website directly states it, can that suffice?--Truco 03:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
            • Leaving this one unstruck for other reviewers to evaluate. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
              • Would it be better if I remove that ref? In addition, are your non-source comments resolved?--Truco 16:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) If the source can be covered by other things, it would be best. The prose issues are resolved, but the image issues are pending. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Like the episodes itself verify the information, which I have sourced with {{cite episode}}. I resolved your image problems.--Truco 17:07, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I removed that ref, forgot to state that.--TRUCO 00:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Closing comment Even though the nomination has support, it is from the only reviewer. I therefore cannot confidently say that this has community support, but feel free to immediately renominate, and provide a link in the new nom back to this one.
