Talk:SummerSlam (2003)

message: I would take the liberty to include Kane's feud with Rob Van Dam (highlighting their reign as World Tag Team Champions and Kane's unmasking), but most of this stuff would come from the archives of wwe.com, and the school has decided to block the website. If this article is to be expanded like many others, I'm suggesting this information should go in.--Lord Dagon (talk) 16:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Background 

message: Is it really necessary to have the wrestlers' real names in parenthesis? It seems a bit pointless to me. It seems doubly pointless to keep doing it throughout the entire article (for the likes of Triple H, Stone Cold etc). 
And why is it necessary to explain every minute facet of professional wrestling as it comes up in the article, eg: the brand extension, Eric Bischoff's on-screen role etc?
Another thing I find ridiculous is the constant mentioning of "staged" rivalries. This is completely redundant - it is professional wrestling, the whole concept of which is staged. Whoever added this unnecessary dross may as well go to the Dark Knight movie page and add in that Christian Bale and Heath Ledger staged their rivalry for the purpose of the film. 
O.K. I've just read the whole thing, this article is absolutely atrocious! Repetitive, long-winded, ridiculously patronising in tone and poorly put together. Whole sections are repeated and for some reason, out of the blue, the author feels it is necessary to describe exactly what a tombstone piledriver is. Your level of detail is inconsistent with itself! I've never seen the likes of it before.

replies: text: Maybe because this the way you want it, violates WP:JARGON, WP:IN-U. This is for the non-wrestling reader, even if you are a wrestling reader, you should know what is meant in the article.S</font>RX</font> 14:45, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

text: This article is not intended to "teach" the non wrestling reader about pro wrestling. Do you know what WP:FA is? Do you know what WP:MOS is? Do you know what is the criteria for WP:FA? This article is to become a featured article, per WP:FAC reviewers, linking of terms is redundant in an article written in-universe, the terms should be explained in the article. If you have a problem with this format, bring it up to one of the FAC reviewers or WP:PW.S</font>RX</font> 14:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: FA criteria is FA criteria, it's not going to change. We want FAs, and this is how we have to do it. Changing it back would constitute vandalism. For the record, I AGREE with you. I hate the way it reads, but tough, we want our articles to be good under the proper criteria. And again, the article is not meant to be a specific learning tool for education on pro wrestling. And the PPV's relevance overall means nothing. It's how the article is written that matters. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 22:35, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Terribly put together 

message: This article does not appear to have broad enough appeal to be included in Version 0.7, which includes only the top 1% or so of articles. Walkerma Walkerma (talk) 06:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Version 0.7

message: Evolution's attack on Goldberg after the elimination chamber match isn't mentioned - any reason why not? --Jameboy (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not notable and relevant to the match itself: the attack affected Goldberg or the match in no way.--Truco 503 18:17, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think getting smashed with a sledgehammer would have affected him in some way... --Jameboy (talk) 20:32, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But it is all storyline.--WillC 20:36, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The result of every match comes from the script-writer's pen, so I don't understand the distinction. --Jameboy (talk) 20:46, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: What effect did Goldberg being attacked by Evolution have on the match itself?--Truco 503 21:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It had no effect on the match itself because the match was over. However, professional wrestling is just as much about the storylines as it is about the actual matches, and featured articles are supposed to provide comprehensive coverage of all aspects of the subject. The article as it stands is misleading, because it implies that Triple H gaining the victory was the end of the night's proceedings, but it clearly wasn't. --Jameboy (talk) 22:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

text: But it is not notable. This article is a summary about the important things that happened at the event. Goldberg getting the shit kicked out of him is not important. You never see some say "Hey, remember SummerSlam 2003? Yeah, there was some good matches. Don't forget Goldberg getting beat up". It is just not important.--WillC 23:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. --Jameboy (talk) 00:20, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Attack on Goldberg

message: This is scheduled to appear on 8th September 2013 on the basis that it will run *unless* Istanbul is selected to host the 2020 Olympics.  The decision is due on 7th September.  If Istanbul is selected, then that will be the TFA and this article will be shifted to a date later in the month. BencherliteTalk 17:38, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Pretty new here so i just reverted it manually to the last clean version hopefully more experienced users can clean it up 
Beav4braves (talk) 01:18, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you, . For reference, the article is now identical to  by  dated at 08:40, 28 September 2013, which seems likely to be the last good version and any further cleanup should only be necessary if any of the intervening edits improved the article (which I suspect they don't). --RexxS (talk) 18:08, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
