Fair use rationale for Image:WBFWrestleManiaVIII.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:WBFWrestleManiaVIII.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.
If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)
I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.
Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

[edit]- $400,000 per-year. - no need to link the dollar, and it's just "per year". Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:58, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- The second-annual - they only had two events, so annual is a bit of a push. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:58, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
General
[edit]- flagship professional wrestling business, - this would be a good place to introduce WWF. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- .[2][3][1] - not super important, but might be wise to re-order the refs. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- nd that "If we'd wanted to, - caps in sentence. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- including Aaron Baker, Mike Christian, Vince Comerford, David Dearth, Berry DeMey, Johnnie Morant, Danny Padilla, Tony Pearson, Jim Quinn, Mike Quinn, Eddie Robinson, Gary Strydom, and Troy Zuccolotto - "including", and then the list is a bit weird. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:05, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- The WWF was used to cross-promote the WBF; its bodybuilders, as well as WWF performers such as "Macho Man" Randy Savage, cut promos for the inaugural WBF Championship during WWF television programming,[1][3] and a WWF-themed episode of Family Feud was played between teams representing the WBF and WWF. - this sentence seems to keep on going.... Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Going drug-free, 1992 championship - this is a really poor title, it suggests everyone in the original version was hooked up to steriods, quite the BLP issue. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- I'm a little bit surprised that ICOPRO isn't independently notable, and worthy of WP:REDLINK. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- See also has a link to XFL, but there were two attempts (so far) at the XFL, so should both be mentioned. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Sources have a lot of SHOUTING, please put them in sentence case. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:30, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
Review meta comments
[edit]- I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:57, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
- I addressed many of the issues you brought up. Also, when it comes to the XFL, the second XFL was more of a straight football league than the 2001 version, which was more blatant in its Attitude Era influence. That was why I singled it out. ViperSnake151 Talk 19:07, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
