thread_title:  The Rock 

message: Has he really ever submitted while under the gimmick of Umaga? The article states that he lost via submission at Royal Rumble 2007, but that was a Last Man Standing match, so I doubt that he actually submitted. If he hasn't, it should be added as it's a fairly important point in his career. Mjack32 (talk) 07:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No it's not important since it's never brought up on television, it's nothing but fancruft. MPJ-DK (talk) 11:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The last thing about Fatu that reads in the article is about survivor series 07, so this article is outdated by nearly six months. At the very least, his Wrestlemania appearance should be listed.Vicius (talk) 03:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Anybody is allowed to edit articles, so the last part of your comment is ridiculous. Fatu has not had any notable matches/feuds since then. The match at WrestleMania was not notable. iMatthew T.C. 20:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A match at the company's biggest pay-per-view isn't notable? I covered it in the Torch issue that analyzed every match on the card and it belongs as a notable event. The information ending at November of 2007 makes it sound as if he's been inactive since and it is grossly inaccurate. And for the record the article is unable to be edited so your reply was also inaccurate. The Batista match belongs. WadeKeller2012 (talk) 13:49, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I've noticed that Umaga has strated using the sidewalk slam as a finisher, so i've gone ahead and added it to the article. Please feel free to alter it if you feel differently. Also, I've noticed that the 2007-Present section doesn't mention his current fued with Jeff Hardy.

message: in 2007 - present, right at the very end it says he is on FCW but it is rumored that he will feud with the undertaker at his return. can someone track the guy that put it there and block him? Kalajan (talk) 14:16, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The same image is used twice [the one with the title], there is no photo of him without the makeup [which you can easily find in independent third-party sites] and why is the article named Eddie Fatu? I doubt he's more known as Eddie because frankly, thats not even his name! If you want to name the article by his real name, it should be Edward Fatu, or it should be like I think it should be Umaga.

replies: text: Many articles relating to wrestlers use nicknames of those wrestlers, such as the articles of Mike Mizanin, Charlie Haas, and Dave Batista.  These are not the wrestlers' ring names, but, in fact, their legitimate names.  The articles are not titled, as you claim they should be, Michael Mizanin, Charles Haas, and David Bautista.  I agree with you that the article should be titled Umaga, instead. Dmasta (talk) 11:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Could someone please mention that days before his death, he was wrestling in the Hulkamania Tour in Australia?

message: He was married, I already know that. And he did have four children as well, which is already in "personal life" section below the article. Can't we add them in the info box or something, until we get a source? I've already red the rules before joining wikipedia and I read up and learned that wikipedia doesn't not accept IMDb as a source, so I have to respect that rule and find a better source when I do research, can some one give me a hand before adding it back?
