Talk:WWE Unforgiven/Archive 1

message: are they really the matches?
::No matches have been announced, vandals do this for every WWE PPV(add in rumored matches). TJ Spyke 20:41, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: WWE normally releses the posters for their PPVs on their magazines, which come 1 month in advance (July issue comes out in June, etc.)... and the people who are subscribed to their magazines receive them even earlier... so it wouldn't suprise me that they already have the poster for Unforgiven.--Andresg770 18:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  2006 poster 

message: This is a big issue that seems to attract a lot of vandalism to upcoming wrestling event articles. The problem being that random people deliberately add matches to the upcoming event's card that have supposedly been announced on commercials aired during RAW, Smackdown!, or ECW. Once these people are confronted about their additions of these spoilers, they tend to use the commercials as their source. The problem is that they do not seem to realize that these promos shown when a WWE broadcast goes off the air during commercials are actually only airing on specific local areas and are NOT in fact being shown nation wide. WWE (at times) unintentionally releases commercials and promos on future events, spoiling matches and sometimes even their outcomes, to the specific local media outlet. This is stupidly done to attract interest from fans in that local area and increase possible attendance and buyrate figures for the upcoming event. The most recent case being the Vengeance DX promo notable for being released in some areas roughly two months before the actual event took place. Only when matches are announced on-screen by talent or during the actual WWE broadcast and NOT during commercials can this sort of information NOT be considered a spoiler. Some may argue, "So what if they aren't shown nation wide, they were still released by World Wrestling Entertainment which means they are legit and therefore all matches spoiled have a right to be added to articles!" Now the problem with that simply is this... It is unencyclopedic. You see, what these people fail to realize is that Wikipedia is NOT, I repeat, NOT a Wrestling News site. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and therefore cannot provide spoilers on future history or events that have yet to be. Wikipedia is an internet encyclopedia, in other words, it's an ENCYCLOPEDIA. If you honestly feel the need to be an Internet Troll and add content spoiling what has yet to occur (in this case about wrestling), then please do so elsewhere such as... oh wow! ...a Wrestling News site! As best stated on Wikipedia Policy... "Before adding any sort of content, ask yourself what would a reader expect to find in an encyclopedia." ...and I highly doubt that you would be expecting to find out who will be in the main event at WrestleMania 100, even if you do happen to find a promo somewhere right now announcing it to be Hulk Hogan vs. Vince McMahon's grandson. Content such as spoilers, rumors, and other nonsense will be removed on the spot for the reasons just explained. This content simply does not comply with Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines and the addition of it is considered vandalism. Once again, please do NOT add any sort of content that even you would know is a spoiler (spoiling future history and events that have yet to be} and unencyclopedic. If you do in fact feel the need to be an Internet Troll, please do so elsewhere and not on Wikipedia. Thank you for reading and I honestly do hope that this clears up any confusion over spoilers and why they are being removed. Thank you. -- bulletproof 3:16 19:58, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why not just sprotect this page, the No Mercy page, and pages of other PPVs as they approach? Almost all persons who add rumored matches are those who are unregistered, and if the page were protected, it would eliminate the problem COMPLETELY. Thoughts? AWBricker 21:11, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would love to do that, but Wikipedia's policy does not allow semi-protection as a preventive measure. The page has to start being vandalized for them to consider it. TJ Spyke 21:16, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wouldn't you say that it has? How many times does Edge/Cena need to be deleted before it is vandalism? AWBricker 21:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the admins who decide if a page gets protected thinks it needs to be vandalized frequently(like every few minutes). I am sick of having to remove that so many times though. If you want, you can request semi-protection for it. TJ Spyke 21:34, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Will do. I just added it, so I guess it's up to the admins now. AWBricker 21:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Well, online "sources" have been saying it for weeks. It's the principle of it though. 
They never said hell in a cell was going to be at unforgiven, please take it down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.111.15 (talk • contribs)

message: Vince McMahon did NOT say the match would be at Unforgiven. He announced the match but did NOT say when it would happen. That match will just be deleted unless they say on WWE TV or wwe.com that it will happen at Unforgiven. TJ Spyke 03:39, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No it was not confirmed. Vince didn't say it would be at Unforgiven, so we should wait for now. TJ Spyke 05:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: It might have been implied, but it's not confirmed. They didn't say on TV or wwe.com that it will be at Unforgiven. TJ Spyke 06:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Sign your name Killswitch. I know that it is most likely happening at Unforgiven, the point is that is has not been announced for the PPV yet. TJ Spyke 06:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Please read Wikipedia:No personal attacks. TJ Spyke 07:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well actually there has been a few hell in a cell matches on Raw. I don't know the exact dates, but they did happen. So it's very likely the match could be on Raw and not Unforgiven. But either way: if it's not announced what event it's taking place at, then there is no need to post it for Unforgiven. RobJ1981 07:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I do think it will happen at Unforgiven, it just hasn't been announced for it. The link you provided even said that, it's assumed it will happen at Unforgiven but not confirmed. TJ Spyke 07:25, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

text: It wasnt announced for the PPV until this afternoon. It shouldnt have been there until it was announced. You can't assume matches will take place at certain events. If that was the case, I might as well go put Orton/Cena for WM23, because it will probably happen. AWBricker 21:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

message: y isnt the stipulation put in? it should say that the loser of the match has to go to smackdown. (btw, in case yall havent realized it yet, edge will be going to smackdown)
:Edge won't go to SmackDown if he loses, the stipulation is that if CENA loses he will go to SmackDown. TJ Spyke 03:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Why wasn't this page just semi-protected? It's just a bunch of anon IP's vandalizing the page, us registered users were just reverting the vandalism and formatting it the correct way. TJ Spyke 03:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't know who won, especially me since I'm not watching it (don't want to pay). Just wait until the site updates. Mapletip 03:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The 3RR doesn't apply to reverting vandalism. The page as it is now(when it was locked) is the correct results and format and is how the page should look. Cena won the match, and the results are formatted according to the way agreed upon by WP:PW, so the admin who locked it should have only semi-protected it. I am watching it so I do know who won(Cena). I don't like him either, but he won. TJ Spyke 03:13, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

text: wwe.com has updated to show that Cena won(although anybody who watched the PPV or read the results online) already knew that. TJ Spyke 03:15, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed, that's why if you check my user page you will see that I think registration should be required in order to edit. It makes it easier to take care of vandals since it's pretty hard to stop AOL IP's(due to the fact that they get a different IP every time they log onto AOL). TJ Spyke 01:09, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Was Charles Wright using the Godfather name or Kama Mustafa in April of 1998. The article says Godfather but I don't think he was using the name yet. I thought he was Kama until he got kicked out of the Nation later that year. Graham Cawthon's HistoryofWWE.com has him still listed as Kama.  G0aT CheEZeY 17:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to that same link he was know as Godfather even while still in the Nation. OWW () has him listed as Godfather at the event. So who knows. TJ Spyke 20:45, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
