I felt that given the historical impact of WresstleMania X, a more comprehensive introduction for the show is necessary. 70.73.26.231 19:00, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. GaryColemanFan (talk) 07:30, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:WMXmichaels.jpg[edit]

Image:WMXmichaels.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.

GA review[edit]

I have reviewed the article against the Good Article criteria. Overall the article meets the criteria, being well written, adequately referenced and comprehensive. There does not appear to be any problems with neutrality and stability. The linking of wrestling jargon is particularly well done and useful for non-enthusiasts such as me. However there are some issues I would like to see addressed before I promote the article.

In a general sense, overuse of the word "which". Some examples listed below:
- "...was the WWF Championship, which was defended in two matches" Consider the less wordy "...was the WWF Championship, ~~which was~~ defended in two matches".
- Similarly, "Owen ran into Bret, which caused Owen to lose his focus..." --> "Owen ran into Bret, causing Owen to lose his focus..."
- and "...to resolve an angle in which the two had argued over the rightful holder..." --> "...to resolve an angle where the two had argued over the rightful holder.
- and one from further down the article "Wippleman and Finkel wrestled a series of Tuxedo matches in 1994,[18] which culminated in..." --> Wippleman and Finkel wrestled a series of Tuxedo matches in 1994,[18] ending with..." These are examples only and is not exhaustive.
  - Done Most "which"es removed. GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"In the angle, Michaels refused to acknowledge the title change, however, as he insisted that he was the true Intercontinental Champion." The cited reference is a broken link, please fix.
- Done For some reason, fixed itself while I was doing the other fixes. GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Overuse of commas before conjunctions such as "and" and "but". This is perhaps a personal preference but i would not use commas in situations such as:
- "Yokozuna attacked Hart before the bell, and Hart attempted a couple of comebacks in vain"
- "Bret maintained the advantage for a little while, but Yokozuna came back with a belly to belly suplex" and so on. Once again, these are examples only and the use of commas througout the article should be addressed.
  - These commas are all used correctly. Removing them would be grammatically incorrect, as a subject comes after the comma (ie. a complete clause follows the comma). GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Capitalisation of wrestling jargon. "Dropkick" and "powerslam" are generally started with lower-case letters while "Driving elbow drop" and "Earthquake slam" start with capitals. Is there a pro-wrestling guideline on terms to be capitalised or should these be standardised?
- Done I hope you don't mind, but I moved this point below the mention of commas, as it was in the middle of the examples. I removed the capitalization from everything except specific names given by the wrestlers (Tombstone piledriver, Sharpshooter, and Earthquake splash) and names that contained "German" or "Irish"). GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"The feud between Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels also dated back to the fall of 1993" "Fall" here is ambiguous, I assume you mean the season but I am not sure. Remember that in British English, fall is called "autumn" Perhaps a link to the season?
- Done Good point. GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Mr. Fuji, Yokozuna's manager, challenged all American athletes to attempt to bodyslam Yokozuna on the deck of the USS Intrepid." Was this a general challenge to all American athletes or to those athletes aboard USS Intrepid at the time. Perhaps a quote if possible?
- Done I don't have any quotations available, as I don't think transcripts exist. I added some clarification and a reference, though. GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that will do. The article is reasonably well written but before any listing at Featured article candidates it requires a thorough copy-edit by someone not previously involved the article. Well done on your work to date and let me know when you would like me to take another look. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 02:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That addresses everything except the commas, which are grammatically correct as they are. Please let me know if anything else needs to be fixed. Thank you so much for reviewing the article. GaryColemanFan (talk) 03:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done again on addressing the matters raised so quickly. I disagree about the commas; the conjunctions are designed to link the various clauses and the commas are redundant. However, as stated above, this may be a personal preference only and not something to hold up any promotion. I couldn't see anything at WP:MOS either way on the matter. As I have no further objections the article is now promoted. Congratulations to all contributors. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 03:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

President Clinton?[edit]

Maybe I missed it but, there doesn't seem to be mention of "President Clinton"'s appearance. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.30.248.68 (talk) 12:50, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
