Hey again, just a heads up, when adding a new section to an article talk page, make sure you add it to the bottom. If you keep it up top there's a chance it can be missed. Hazardous Matt21:59, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but that still does not work. You think it will work because of Kane, an easy person to cope with in such a case since he only wore like four different variations of his costume. Now how about, Shawn Michaels? He's changed his tights so many times. The Undertaker is another, people with many gimmicks, like Mick Foley, it will just not work out, sorry.--
We have now reached our goal of getting the number of Stub-Class articles below 600. The current count is 586. It still would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help expand and/or source an article or two. A list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers that should be fairly easy to improve.
Go to your preference, put a checkmark in Raw Signature and put this in the signature line:
'''<font style="background:black" color=gray>[[User:Brothers of destruction|<font color=#ff0000>Brothers]] of [[User_Talk:Brothers of destruction|<font color=#ff0000>Destruction</font>]]</font>'''
That depends. Is it for you? it's very confusing when you have a different signature than what your name is. There are some that do it, but it gets a little frustrating at times. Hazardous Matt00:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by some of your most recent edit summaries (specifically "We don't want to link people to pages that do NOT exist.") you seriously need to re-read some policies again. Especially

Thanks for uploading File:Kharma debuts.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
Go to
di-replaceable fair use disputed
}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.
