Talk:World Championship Wrestling

message: This really belongs at "World Championship Wrestling". See for instance World Wrestling Federation, World Wrestling Entertainment, Extreme Championship Wrestling, etc.; all of these use the full title instead of the acronym. Besides, I believe using the full form is in the Wikipedia:Naming conventions. --Furrykef 18:49, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: I think they should keep this current content the way it is. Some sources are just like this article, having sourced to another page. My point is not to delete the article, but, to improve the quality of the entry. I beg of you to keep this article. Sundogs 13:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Introductory Paragraph

message: Would it be acceptable to use the Reynolds/Alvarez book as source here, or perhaps parts of Scott Keith's works?  I don't think it's going to be easy to get any sourcing from a completely neutral POV, but using those authors it could be possible to cite references for stuff here...  Any comments gratefully received before I start adding references here...  --Dave. 19:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Sign didn't pan out

message: I'm in the process of changing all instances of "WWE" in the article to "WWF." To refer to WWE as "WWE" in this article is anachronistic, as the company didn't rename itself as WWE until a year or two after it had acquired WCW. Anybody object? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gujuguy (talk • contribs) 19:10, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: WWE legally can't say "WWF" (though they can say "World Wrestling Federation". We are not under that obligation, so it was agreed at WP:PW that all references to WWE before May 6, 2002 be changed to "WWF" (and that all references to it before 1979 be changed to "WWWF").

Any assistance is appreciated but I do request references be of proper standard and not just fansites. I also hope editors will respect the ongoing work and not arbitrarily remove unsourced material.

thread_title: push for GA-Status and hopefully FA

message: Please do NOT remove the information placed there tonight. Said information is valid, and if necessary, I can find and post the entire text from Linda McMahon referenced as I had copy and pasted it to a message board I once frequented. Furthermore, the information regarding WCW footage on WWE DVDs is also accurate, in terms of the footage listed.

thread_title: Information regarding the acquisition of the WCW by WWF

message: Unfortunately it's a fail for now.
Improvements necessary for GA:
* Article needs a re-org. Article is way too strongly weighted towards the "History" section - in fact, the whole thing is History. I would suggest creating new top-level headings on major topics of relevance to the WCW and reworking much of the existing material into those. A good deal of the history sub-section could also go into a sub-article. (See National Hockey League, a GA, for an example of a well-organized article in a similar genre). This will be a major task.
* Writing is generally very good, but there is a nasty run-on sentence with comma misuse in the lead (first paragraph).
* Per WP:LAYOUT please put "details", "main", "see also" templates after section headings but before the text.
* A good number of paragraphs do not have any citations. Some have NPOV problems; for example "Another thing Bischoff may have failed to consider..." - an opinion like this is fine only if it comes from a reliable source. The "Decline" section is also full of opinions and analyses that do not appear to be sourced.
* "Image:Original-nWo.jpg" and "Image:Fingerpoke of Doom.jpg" need detailed fair-use rationales added to their description pages.
Improvements not necessary for GA:
* Some of the pictures are pretty low-quality. If you can find better pictures that would improve the article.
* Please move all ref tag cites after punctuation.

thread_title:  GA Fail 

message: I beleive that there should be a short section on the fact that fans are asking for a WCW return, much like ECW.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.106.165.28 (talk) 01:41, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any demand. ECW was different in that it was a niche organization that made its fame for hardcore wrestling. I loved WCW, but it and WWF were basically the same. Anyways, I haven't seen the demand for a WCW return and don't think it should be mentioned in the article (and it's only mentioned in the ECW article because WWE did bring it back).

message: Though I expect my edit will be changed hopefully it won't. here the source for the change I made: http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-in-h.html
I corrected the years of the wcw international title. It had it listed  from 1994 to 1999 where as it existed from 1993 -1994. This isn't something that is rapidly changing. WCW is over so there's no reason the information listed can't be right.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.15.191.119 (talk) 00:49, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  has anyone checked this article for validity? 

message: The article mentions monster trucks based on WCW but how come there are no mentions of WCW's NASCAR race cars? They had a ton of cars over the years and I think it merits mentioning in the WCW in other media section probably more so than their monster truck endeavors. TheGary (talk) 21:52, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
