Talk:Bart Gunn

message: no consensus. Including the nominator, there are two support votes and two oppose votes. It would have been nice to have more participation, but it's been almost two weeks. -- Kjkolb 06:23, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

*Oppose - I prefer continuing to index wrestlers under their real names, not their characters' names.  Plus, you can't really talk about his MMA career under "Mike Barton"; Mike Barton isn't an MMA fighter, Mike Plotcheck is. Tuckdogg 21:28, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

The issue here is really one of who we are discussing: are we discussing Mike Barton the character, or are we discussing Mike Plotcheck, the man who plays the character Mike Barton (and has played other characters throughout his career)?  While wrestlers are not generally identified as "actors" per se, in reality, they are.  If you wanted to talk about George Clooney, you wouldn't call the article Doug Ross.  Doug Ross is just a character Clooney once played, as Plotcheck has played Mike Barton, Bart Gunn, etc.  For the sake of clarity, it should always be best practice to index wrestlers under their real names and not their character names.  The character names should redirect to the real name pages of the wrestler who played them, unless separate pages are being created for some reason for that particular character.  E.g. creating a "Kane (wrestling)" page, wherein one might discuss the sordid and convoluted history of the "Kane" character (if such a thing is possible...), while maintaining the page for Glen Jacobs to discuss Jacobs' entire career.

replies: text: Erm...not really.  I doubt the dispute over his last name will continue.  He was billed at Rumble on the Rock under his real name, and he gave them Mike Plotcheck.  I think the man knows his own name.  He doesn't own Bart Gunn, and can't legally use it, so that name's out.  Mike Barton he owns, but he does not use the name outside of wrestling.  It's a character name and nothing more.  The page should stay where it is. Tuckdogg 01:13, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Reference #2 merely says Michal Polchlopek III was the son of Michal Polchlopek Jr. It does NOT say Michal Polchlopek Jr. is "Bart Gunn". Reference #21 (referring to the shooting of Polchlopek III) is a dead link, redirecting to the website's current front page, so it can neither confirm or deny anything. To hold up against evidence (from Sherdog) that "Bart Gunn" is, in fact, Mike Plotcheck, this article will need sources that clearly state he is Polchlopek, not just that a man named Polchlopek exists. I'll give some time for discussion and sourcing before I change all "Polchlopek"s to "Plotcheck".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by InedibleHulk (talk • contribs) 23:21, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Mike Polchlopek's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "puroresufan.com":
