[edit]I’m not sure exactly what to put here. However, I want to verify the Tommy Drake page. I am Tommy Drake and I have read the article and found it to be accurate and I’m flattered that someone took the time to create a page dedicated to my career as a pro wrestler. If any other verification is needed I can be e mailed at [email protected]. Thank you to whoever made this page.

- You're flattered that you wrote an article about yourself?--CyberGhostface (talk) 16:56, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Actually my name is Mike. I met Tommy Drake at an IZW event in Tempe AZ. I told him that I was goint to make a page for him. He really didnt think much of it, and could care less about wikipedia since anyone can edit and the information could be false. Tommy Drake has a extensive career in wrestling as you can see from the photos and info I have aquired. I posted as him here because I think this bio is warrented. I dont think Tommy has even seen the page. Ill see him at the next show a week from Tuesday and Ill tell him that wikipedia doesn't like his page that I made for him. Any moron can google Tommy Drake and see that he is who the page says he is, but what ever. I will continue to exit this page with references and updates as I follow his career. So to CyberChostface......you are wrong to assume and if you dont like wrestling dont read the articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.135.121 (talk) 20:26, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
- User:Tommydrake is the one who created the page. He also claimed to be the real Tommy Drake above. Were you posing as him?--CyberGhostface (talk) 21:36, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
I just posted as him. I just used Tommy Drake as my user name. I have never created a page before and I thought I would create it as Tommy Drake. I didnt realize all the conflict It would cause. I pulled most of the pictures from his my space page. And looked up old interviews. Most wrestling fans in the U.S. dont follow Japan wrestling. I am a huge fan and have been of Tommy Drake and the company he trainded at. Im a fan of all of the former Pro Wrestling Iron guys. If I need to Ill regester a new account as myself and redo to page. What other information will I need to varify my postings? Is that the main problem, proof of ccuracy? Or because I posted under someone elses name? Whatever I need to do I will. I just want to create a great page for Tommy that falls within the guidelines. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.99.135.121 (talk) 18:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
- So...let me get this straight...
- As User:Tommydrake, you write..."I want to verify the Tommy Drake page. I am Tommy Drake and I have read the article and found it to be accurate"
- Then you upload several personal photos of Drake underneath the commons license?
- And yet you aren't him?--CyberGhostface (talk) 19:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
I dont know what any of that crap means. I dont understand the license stuff and I took the pics off his myspace. I posted as Tommy Drake because I wanted to. I posed as him only after that crap about conflict of interest popped up. I just wanted to make a page and its really not that big of a deal. All the information is accurate and can be backed up. This is just getting silly. Everything on these pages is just someones opinion of what they have seen or heard. I could log in as anyone and edit pages I no nothing about. Thats why wikipedia is not used for absolute facts in schools. Its accuracy on all information can not be proven, given anyone can edit at anytime. And who really cares if Tommy Drake has a small blip on this radar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommydrake (talk • contribs) 20:49, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
