message: According to Wikipedia:External links These sites should not be added as:
In general, any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article here would have once it becomes an example of brilliant prose. 
None of the above sites provide a uniqute resource
And more importantly:
Links that are added to promote a site. See External link spamming. 
These sites seem like spam to me.
None of them are significantly important as none of them are highly ranked on Alexa or receive a large amount of google hits, thus I am removing all links that appear as spam. Englishrose 08:46, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: While I largely agree with not linking to specific e-wrestling groups, I have added links to E-Wrestling Torch and E-Wrestling Magazine; both sites address e-wrestling in general, giving information on how it works as well as links to a number of e-feds and other sites. IMO this makes them a useful addition to this article. --ElijahOmega (talk) 12:03, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

message: WWA and Stablewars did not show on Alexa Internet, therefore must be advertising and Shootclub is returned due to high rankings and it's returning in July 2012. GTAjaxoxo 07:26, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

message: More ads just came. One from WEW-Virtual Federation. Here are the IPs: 79.107.21.235 and 85.115.248.60. Looks like they're trying to advertise this efed. But when I clicked it, it said 404. Must be dead. GTAjaxoxo 02:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  More ads 

message: The problem, of course, is that e-wrestling was astoundingly obscure when it started, and as a result, only a few sources exist.  This site, for instance, covers the early history of e-wrestling, and affirms (correctly) that it was Scott Baxter, not Ray Duffy, who coined the term.  This history has been around, on one site or another, for two decades.  However, by Wikipedia standards, it doesn't meet the standards of a reliable source.
So: what to do when the ONLY sources on a particular topic are "unreliable?"  I'd very much like to make corrections to the portions of the article concerning the early history of e-wrestling, but I have to tread carefully, given that I'm one of the ones who was involved, and potential CoI issues therefore exist.
Do you think we can at least consider the source sufficient for crediting Scott Baxter with the term e-wrestling, given that no sources exist for attributing it to Ray Duffy, and Ray Duffy himself credits it to Scott Baxter?
