message: The article is titled wrong.   Also, it makes no mention of being the Tampa Bay Devil Rays resident weirdo.  Kazztawdal 04:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Wrong name

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 :Brian Knobbs'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 "bodyslamming":
From Jerry Sags: 
From Brian Gerard James: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:30, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Orphaned references in [[:Brian Knobbs]] 

message: Just a note for the Brian Knobs page, "Brian Knobs" is the correct/preferred spelling of his ringname. This is confirmed by an email enquiry I made personally via the Nasty Boys official website. His personal facebook page also confirms "Brian Knobs".

replies: text: Neither of those are reliable sources. All sources in the article say "Knobbs". Page moves should be discussed. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:12, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

text: Actually, if you were familiar with Wikipedia policies, you would know that third-party sources are considered more reliable than primary sources. If Brian Knobbs has forgotten how his ring name was spelled, that doesn't change the fact that he was billed in WWF and WCW as Brian Knobbs. The WWF website confirms this, as do many other reliable sources (including many news sites unrelated to wrestling, who have written about his connection to Hulk Hogan). In addition, the name displayed on screen and printed in magazines, programs, and VHS/DVD cases was Knobbs. Now, let's say for a minute that he decided to legally change his name to Brian Knobs...the article, and virtually every reference to him in the article and on Wikipedia as a whole, would still say Knobbs, because that is the name by which he is commonly known.

replies: text: Coleman is completely right. You have a similar problem with Kendall Windham. I appreciate that you added sources for his birth name, but these do not apply in the least to his ring name or to the article name (per WP:COMMONNAME) I've edited that article accordingly.
