I didn't want to title this "Crappers! Get out and vote!" and have it locked, but the Dave Wills (crying wrestling fan) article on wikipedia is up for deletion, so let those geeks know why not to delete it, if it's still real to you, damn it!!! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Dave_Wills_%28wrestling%29P.S. If you just say I DON'T KNOOOOW!!! it'll probably just give them more of a reason to delete it. ^^edit......crap, the link doesn't work, but WrestleCrappers are better at copying and pasting than any 32 year old virgin WikiNerd like "Sir Fozzie," right? |

I posted the last comment.
Edit:
"Don't Delete I fail to see how a little blurb about something that got some media attention has to be deleted. Compared to some of the vast useless information on here, I think this is just fine the way it is. That's my view on it. And also, if the "I don't know" comment be striken then the "I think so" comment should as well. Hypocrisy shouldn't be becoming of a supposed unbiased site"

To add to the wikimadness, someone put this on Koko B Ware's page:
Frankie the macaw died in a house fire in 2001 while Koko and his family were at church. A large funeral took place days after the fire. Among those who gave eulogies were Jerry Lawler, Ric Flair, Paul Heyman, Jimmy Hart, Carl Wheathers and Reginald Vel Johnson.

I disagree. The Regineld Vel Johnson thing had me rolling. Thx, I agree, that would have been a great eulogy to listen to, and maybe he would talk about his famous fight with the Bushwackers and his memories of protecting koko and frankie in Chicago area shows |

Wrestlecrap should just make its own Wiki.

Wrestlecrap should just make its own Wiki. Yeah, probably would be a good idea, but stuff like kongadave and "I DONT KNOW" still are popular outside of this board, and even outside of wrestling fans with various media mentions. Considering all the crap they let on there, this isn't asking anything special |

an update, as of now, kongadave's article has been deleted. They (which is like 3 people) put in one of their stupid rules called WP:SNOW, and decided that there was too much fighting and an admin just trashed the article. Despite that the debate had only gone on 3 days (instead of the alloted week) and no consensus was reached, and of the 4 delete votes, 2 were from inexperienced editors with poor attitudes. There were plenty of valid reasons that were given to keep the article, but it was closed far too prematurely.
The article can be put to deletion review (kinda like a court of appeals, and a link can be found on the page), which I think should be done at some point (not right away, wait a few days on it and find more good sources), we cannot let wikinerds like the 32 year old virgin decide that something doesn't belong just b/c one person doesn't like it.

Honestly, it does fit their article deletion rules. There just aren't enough sources independent of topic that refer to him to confer their definition of 'notability'.
So get to making some Geocities sites, people.

First off: Geocities doesn't qualify under reliable third-party sources, so it wouldn't help..
Second off: Thanks for letting me know about the vandalism on the Koko B Ware article. It snuck through till now.. so thanks for letting me know so I can remove it.
Third off: If you do bring it to Deletion Review, it's NOT a vote. Provide Valid, Reliable Third-Party Sources (like I was waiting for folks to do when I tagged it with Notability), and you'll likely convince the admins to restore the article.
Fourth Off: Have a nice day! (Thumbs up)

I was too fat to pass the physical requirements to be a cop, but that's not going to stop me from standing up for truth, justice, and the american way. I'm going to dedicate my life to combating vandalism on the most reliable online encylopedia in the history of all the internets.  |

There was every reason for it to end in delete, even your own board mates agreed with the decision.
"It proves that wikipedia is totally inept in all factors.."
Well, I dunno... your hoax information on Koko and Jornada del Muerte That took, what, an hour to think up? Took me 40 seconds to look up your edits and revert them.
Also, you were the one who exposed your hoax information.. if you hadn't said anything, you might have gotten away with it. So. um.. who's inept?

Anyway, I'll leave you guys to your Wrestlecrap stuff (When's the Canadian Destroyer being inducted as the most-kayfabe breaking finisher in wrestling?).
Have a good one.

And as a response (I don't want this to get heated), I did not create the Koko funeral info, I just found it and shared it with the board b/c I thought it was funny. I doubt it took someone an hour to come up with that info, maybe a minute. |

Kudos to you and whoever reverted that horrible vandalism about how Tony Anthony & Jerry Stubbs were awarded the NWA Southeast Tag Team Championship when Shane Douglas left the area, due to his tag team partner, Sid Vicious making a habit of defecating on himself during matches. I mean what kind of disgusting, despicable lack of respect does whoever did that have for one of the biggest legendsandstars ever like Sid? |

People who edit Wikipedia deserve to be ran over by a bus. Too bad they never get out.
Have fun bagelf***ing SIR.
