message: DDP attended St Joseph's High School, now known as Monsignor Donovan High School, in Toms River, NJ.  I think this should be added in somewhere, but I am not sure where since we really don't have much background info on him in the article. AriGold 21:44, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I re-writ the beginning of the article. Wikipedia isn't a chance to show of your fucking writing skills, people, nor is it a place to advertise your website. If that power-slam link was in any way related to the article in question, list it as a source.
****
Excuse you for the language. This is not the place for foul language. 
The inclusion of that paragraph was by request from DDP himself. It's sad that you have a problem with it. Since the page is ABOUT HIM if he asks for something to be included it SHOULD BE. I'm currently rewriting the article by combining various sources including ongoing phone conversations with DDP that he will verify if necessary. 
Since Page holds the Jorgensen site in high regard and I cited it within the paragraph (which you incorrectly removed) and at the end of the article in "citations" there shouldn't have been a problem with its' inclusion. I will not make any changes until after I am done rewording the text from the site and including information from his book, articles and conversations as I verify, or am told is unfounded, facts and happenings in his life and career.
My reasoning is sound.  The text should be reverted to what was there before your improper deletion. I'm signing my ID which you did not do. Please go to my talk page if you wish to continue this dispute. --Iadiedee28 00:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The following line is completely false."The name "Dallas" is derived from his love of the Dallas Cowboys, despite having grown up near the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets." He grew up nowhere near the home of the Giants and Jets, as they both played in New York City at the time he was growing up. There are a lot of Dallas Cowboys fans in the area where he grew up, as there was no team in Jersey & at the time, a lot of people in NJ despised Philadelphia.--Hndsmepete 21:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I remember watching a match of DDP's toward the end of WCW where he performed a spinning DDT much like Mickie James' Finisher. Tony Schiavone or Mike Tenay then said that DDP called the move the Diamond Dream. I would add it to his list but I am not 100% sure on this, but I'm pretty sure it was a move of his toward the end of his WCW career. Anyone remember this? 216.47.153.16 16:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

*"According to one source, the settlement included a monetary fee that was paid by Jay-Z to Page. In exchange for the fee, Page agreed to drop all claims in regards to the infringement suit. Each party paid their own legal fees."
The matter has been settled but this statement is "According to one source..." Who is that source? There are orders from the judge so "it is settled" is all that is able to be released. How is this a valid "source"? I cannot figure out who put it up or I'd ask them directly. 
Input please.  --Iadiedee28 04:24, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I was reading the following and it's nothing but redudant.
He started managing in March 1988, where he handled Badd Company (Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka), a team he lead to the AWA World Tag Team Championship on March 19. During his time in the AWA, Page also managed Col. DeBeers and Madusa.
Page served as a manager in 1988 in the American Wrestling Association (AWA), where he managed the tag team of Badd Company, who were often accompanied by a pair of female valets known as the "Diamond Dolls".
In the third paragrah of pages early years it repeats what the second paragraph states.  That being he managed Badd Company.  I think that section needs to be re-worked.  Mr. C.C. 05:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

message: It appears we have vandals that have nothing better to do than tamper with the statistics in this article. Is there any way to lock the "Statistics" area so that it can not be altered again?

I've personally undone vandal changes at least three times. Can the users IP be banned if the area can not be locked.

message: Is there a way to change the wikiquote link as at the moment it links to a search page with DDP's quotes being the third result down? Probably not a major worry right now (the article needs copy-editing to make it read more like an encyclopedia and less like a fan bio) but its a minor niggle and those are the ones that bother me the most Agent452 23:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, there are no quotes by DDP on Wikiquote.  There are quotes about him on various other people's articles at Wikiquote. The link in DDP's Wikipedia article to Wikiquote links to a list of all the Wikiquote articles where quotes about DDP can be found, and is therefore links to the correct link on Wikiquote.  So until he gets his own quote page, the link currently points to the correct page.  Hope this helps! --Naha|(talk) 01:51, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Page Falkinburg is used in the article but a Google search reveals more results for Page Falkenburg than Page Falkinburg. Additionally, searching for Page Falkinburg gives you a 'spelling error' suggestion and links to Page Falkenburg. So, which is right?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.198.240.239 (talk) 00:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Onlineworldofwrestling.com, while an astoundingly large storehouse of useful information, is sadly also rife with spelling errors and typos. Sometimes even in the dates, though less obvious. The Chicago Sun-Times ran an article on Page in June 1997, where they identify him as FALKENBERG. Any professional journalist writing for an established newspaper will virtually ALWAYS confirm the correct name, especially of that person is the subject of a feature piece. This is an open and shut case, from all I see. The archived article is partially (and sufficiently) viewable at http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4384635.html if somebody can properly cite that in the Wiki article (still haven't learned). 66.185.211.165 (talk) 04:03, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: DDP's name

message: According to DDP himself, he legally changed his name to Dallas Page. He doesn't elaborate on when he changed it, but he does state in this video on YouTube that he did have his name changed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjhE_uD4vdY
He says this around 6:10.  
Did more research and it states on his official site that he changed his name in 2003.

thread_title:  Legal Name Change 

message: The section marked "Early Years" states..."However due to poor initial training and a subsequent bad knee injury he gave up wrestling shortly afterward. His next appearance was not until WrestleMania VI, where he drove Rhythm and Blues (The Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine) to the ring in his pink Cadillac.[1]  At this time, he was virtually unknown in the World Wrestling Federation.[6] Page ran a nightclub in Fort Myers, Florida called "Norma Jeans" (known for its Pink Cadillac) while he was working as a wrestling manager in the American Wrestling Association (AWA).[7] He started managing in 1988, where he handled Badd Company (Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka)"The problem is that the match that is being referred to took place at Wrestlemania V, not VI which was in 1989.  Even still if he was managing Badd Company in 1988 how could his first appearance after 1979 not be until 1989?

message: I've removed quite a few links from the external links section. Many of them are dead links, some are links that are selling his books, and the rest either don't seem reliable, or don't seem to add anything obvious to what we have in the article. It seems to be better to have a few, high quality links, rather than an indiscriminate collection of links. I've added the links here for reference.
