Comments/suggestions

Here are some things I found while copyediting:

Under "Main event", the first two paragraphs begin with "...featured preliminary match". Which is it...main event or preliminary match?
- Main event doesn't necessarily refer to the "big bout at the end of the show," it refers to the most hyped matches, which is why these preliminary matches are "featured" because they were most hyped than the other ones next to the main event.--S_RX 13:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Real names should only be linked once, right? A couple of names were linked more than once (Scott Steiner, Steve Austin), so I deleted them. I'm assuming this also includes the lead, but I didn't delete the second mentions when the first was in the lead (Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, etc) just in case.
- That is correct, thanks so much for doing that, and you did the right thing not to delete the second instances after the lead.--S_RX 13:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Another question: should terms like standard wrestling match, hell in a cell, championships, etc only be linked once per WP:OVERLINK? If names should only be linked once, it makes sense that terms should only be linked once, as well.
- That is true, but I don't see any terms that I linked twice, maybe I missed it.--S_RX 13:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"Ivory won the match via pinfall after performing a facebuster, a move in which an attacking wrestler forces his/her opponent down to the mat face-first." - even though you've explained the move here, I still think it should be linked.
- Linked.--S_RX 13:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Body splash could also use a link
- Linked--S_RX 13:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mandible claw could use an explanation
- Submission holds should not be explained per grammatical errors that it produces when it is explained.--S_RX 13:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hope that helps. Nikki311 19:25, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Bad Blood (2003)/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

a match where wrestlers fight in a ring surrounded by a steel structure of metal, featuring wrestlers fighting in a ring surrounded by a steel structure of metal. Too repetitive, reword.
- Weird how I missed that.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The lead makes it sound like Triple H defeated Nash in a different match than the HIAC.
- Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Two featured bouts were featured repetitive again
- Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
defeated Evolution --> defeated Evolution in a match
- Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove the jargon, there is still some
- You're gonna have to be more specific about this one.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nevermind, It's been covered. iMatthew (talk) 17:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Mack's and Nowinski's --> Mack and Nowinski's
- Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
performed a grabbed and lifted Christian by the waist and slammed him to the mat, he performed a grabbed and lifted... doesn't make sense. also, the link should end after "slammed"
- Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Following the match, the second contest in the "Redneck Triathlon" was held, in which Bischoff won after Austin forfeited. what was the contest?
- Added contest.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
lifted Dupree by the throat and slammed him down to the mat again, link should end at "slammed"
- Funny how you take my advice I gave you at the FAC, fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The first featured preliminary match was Goldberg versus Chris Jericho - mistake? Did you mean the first featured main event match? because at the end of the preliminary section you say "the final preliminary match"
- I think I fixed it.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
lifted him vertically in the air and slammed him down to the mat end the link at "slammed"
- XD Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
tucked Nash's head between his knees and lifted them up to slam Nash's head to the mat end the link at "head"
- XD Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
nineteenth should be 19th.
- Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The table should be linked as it is an exemption to WP:OVERLINK.
- XD Fixed.--S_RX 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's all, let me know when you are done. iMatthew (talk) 15:38, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"is" vs. "was"

"Bad Blood (2003) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment..." or "Bad Blood (2003) is a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Wrestling Entertainment..."? It still is an event that took place in 2003. I'm not so clear on "The main event was a Hell in a Cell match." Not sure how that could be reworded, or if it should be reworded. I randomly checked another sports GA, Super Bowl XLI and it uses "was" as well, but I'm not sure that it's right. Probably good enough for GA, but this should be looked at for FA. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) (contribs) 02:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be was because it wasn't the final Bad Blood, there was one in 1998/9 and then in 2004, so it was a Bad Blood event in 2003.--S_RX 15:40, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
