message: The second sentence in the Early Career section is almost identical to the first sentence in the second lead paragraph, which comes off a little repetitive.  Should we choose one location to keep that information?   The article also mentions that Adams was trained by Tatsumi Fujinami, arguably one of Japan's greatest wrestlers.  Should that be mentioned in the article next alongside Inoki?  (Edit: I keep forgetting to sign these things). GaryColemanFan 17:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Normally I would say yes the sentence should be in one location or the other, but those who have been looking it over it for GA Review have said more info needs to be included in the lead, and any information in the lead needs to also be in the body of the article, preferably expanded on.  In reviewing some other articles I've read written by those reviewing it they had identical info in the lead and the body, so that is why I went with it (thought I'd like to see it changed some later).  Maybe the way to change it is to add Tatsumi Fujinami to the body of the article and not in the lead. - T-75|talk|contribs 22:24, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: When Crush returned to the WWF in 1993, he was managed by Mr. Fuji.  I'm not sure how to list this on the table, though.  Should it be "Mr. Fuji: 1990-1991, 1993-1994" or should Mr. Fuji be listed twice?
:hmm...I forgot about that...twice would keep the box looking normal...or we could put the 93-94 under the 90-91....I'll try it the second way I guess...if you don't think it looks good let me know and I'll switch it. - T-75|talk|contribs 23:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Having reviewed the article against the GA criteria, I'm failing it with the following comments:
*All images must be provided a fair use rationale, please read the smallprint in the template on each image page.
:* Yup that has not happened, maybe because the uploader was unaware - I've left a message for each uploader to fill out the information, specifically helping them out with both details and a link to explain it, it's up to them now to do it as no one else can fill out where they got it from etc. MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: * I corrected that, plus other citation issues MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Removed it MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Now it's not, fixed MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Should be okay now MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *A bit of both, now fixed MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *PNW is explained the first time it's used. Now "NWA" only appears on the title list since that's part of the proper names of the championships MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * I tried to explain terms first time they came up with linking and / or explanations in the text. I don't know if that's enough or not, I have a hard time judging that. MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Should now be after the punctuation without a space in between MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * Fixed the capitalisation. Since I didn't put the table in I'll hold off on removing it, I'd perfer the standard WP:PW way of listing the moves but I'm not the only one working on the article so I'll leave it be for now. MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * Made clear he became a Japanese Sympathizer etc. MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Indeed it was, now it's fixed MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *I'm looking for one right now. MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Actually while looking I found out this wasn't even true. Big Show is 0 and 6 see Here at 411Mania so I just removed that section as "sharing second worst win/loss record" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. it's another problem solved however MPJ-DK 10:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * Absolutely True, now it's fixed MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *I agree, that's over linking MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * Yup, quite right - fixed MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Since I didn't put the table in I'll hold off on removing it, I'd perfer the standard WP:PW way of listing managers but I'm not the only one working on the article so I'll leave it be for now. MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *It's used once in the text and pay-per-view is used before, minor but what the hey - fixed MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * Fixed, no Balls of Crystal now MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Came up with a better headline MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: * Fixed, kept the verifiable one MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

text: *Not a reason for rejection, wrestlers & teams placement on those two lists are generally included and considering the list is of ALL professional wrestlers and ALL tag teams everywhere that have been active in like 25 years it says a bit more about their level. Not removed because "not impressive" is not a "GA" criteria. MPJ-DK 10:43, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, my major concerns have been addressed, the images now have fair use, the article meets most elements of the WP:MOS, there are decent citations.  It's a GA now.  The Rambling Man 16:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: "~ was an American actor and professional wrestler..."
Where in the article is he described as an actor? If he indeed did any acting it should be noted. 
: "In 1996, Adams had an uncredited roll in the Bollywood movie Khiladiyon Ka Khiladi. In the movie he played "Crush" and was killed by "The Undertaker" (played by Brian Lee) in a wrestling match.[6] " Thats quoting from the article. Oops, forgot to sign in before editing.

thread_title:  Actor 

message: I cant find two consistent sources for his birthday and marked the info with :
* According to the previously cited source : April 14, 1964. 
* His IMDb page : January 31, 1963
* Currently displayed birthday according to Nightstalker59: April 14, 1963. the summary of his edit was "changed birthdate to match info obtained from former partner bryan clark and social security birth index" as can be seen here: . However he didnt cite any source, thus the info either needs to be verified on a reliable source or immediately removed from the page. Nimuaq (talk) 20:17, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Birthday 

message: No mention of his tattoo that he started sporting when he returned in 1996 and had up until he debuted in WCW? What was it supposed to be? Was it real or fake (I assumed it was fake)? I figured it warranted some mentioning since it was part of his dramatic appearance change at the time. TheGary (talk) 01:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
