thread_title:  Tense of article 

message: Although FWA did, in some respects, evolve into XWA, their aims and ethos are quite distinct:

I think the FWA is interesting enough to UK wrestling fans to merit its own page. --Maloot (talk) 10:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: XWA is simply the next stage in the life of FWA ... the article was changed from "FWA (professional wrestling)" to "XWA (professional wrestling)" for the same reason the WWF article was changed to WWE... they are the same company no matter what storyline they used to hide their fall from grace and the article should reflect there current status.. having XWA and FWA split away from one article is not going to be helpful to anyone. --- Paulley (talk) 18:00, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But it isn't simply 'the next stage in the life of FWA'. As for them being the same 'company', is this based on Companies House records?  FWA went out of business, XWA is a new promotion formed from the ashes - the article says so. Paper does not redirect to trees.--Maloot (talk) 13:54, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: they are the same promotion the FWA website is now XWA's homepage.. they only went out of business in a storyline the actual company simply changed ownership and name... the FWA's history is part of the archieved history of XWA... we dont have a seperate page for the Fratton Wrestling Association/Alliance. Maybe that section of the article should be rewritten to explain the promotions transformation better as that "out of the ashes" comment does seem to be a little kayfabe. --- Paulley (talk) 18:24, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as that interview goes, it seems like total promotion and a way of answering the fans dissatisfied with them ignoring the Losing Promotion stipulation. FWA changing to XWA is like Eastern Championship Wrestling changing their name to Extreme - it was done partially as a publicity thing, partially as a way to sever ties with the past and the bad promotion of the latter days of FWA. It's the same company, just like WWF>WWE. Tony2Times (talk) 14:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposal for separate FWA and XWA pages 

message: Says that the original FWA is coming back.  http://www.fwauk.com  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.188.11.179 (talk) 00:09, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup, looks that way. A new article should probably be made then. Tony2Times (talk) 15:03, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I do understand your point, and yes something now has to be done... but the question is how do you expect to do this without compromising the article and its it history esspecially as the XWA continues to share the FWA's history.. give me a little time and i will see what i can get done. --- Paulley (talk) 16:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  FWAUK.com 

message: Reading the article through, there are a few issues with it. There are bits of information here and there that should probably have references, one being the saturation of the British wrestling market. It's something that obviously happened when you look with common sense, but that's not really enough for and encyclopedic article. Also, there's a notable departure from the appropriate style in the paragraph regarding the Inter-Federation Cup rivalry with All-Star - the whole paragraph is seemingly in kayfabe, which is simply inappropriate. In fact, the whole 'History' section is kind of shaky - somebody with a keen eye for the important facts needs to fine-comb it and weed out the irrelevancies.
I'd suggest that the 'History' section and/or whole article be marked as requiring cleanup. Anybody else have views on this? Objections welcome, I'm still quite new at this. Opcws (talk) 22:43, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think most of the problems come from a recent edit, but yes it needs going over, and some more sourcing would be nice. --- Paulley (talk) 08:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
