[edit] Neutrality Dispute?
So, ummm, where's the dispute? And for that matter, where's the deletion review? Seeing as Psphenom no longer exists, I'm removing the NPOV and deletion review and chalking it up to user error. 192.147.12.31 15:06, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moscow, the Communist Bovine
I recently updated the roster page by removing Create-A-Wrestler and putting his new gimmick, Moscow, the Communist Bovine in his place. This edit has been reverted. WHY? 69.250.39.186 14:30, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bob Saget
What the hell? You gotta be kidding me. Theres no way in hell Bob Saget runs a wrestling fed.
Well, he doesn't personally run it, but he recorded a vignette which aired at Young Lions Cup 4 and is on a Podcast A-Go-Go episode. 81.157.206.112 18:44, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
Because "commissioner" is his 'official' position. William Regal or Mick Foley didn't really run RAW during their tenures as commissioners for the show in the early 2000's, for example, but they still held the title of "commissioner". Mike Quackenbush runs Chikara; People like Chikarason, Saget, etcetera are just kayfabe staff members - who, in Saget's case - make appearances here or there or record vignettes for Chikara, if that makes sense.

[edit] Move
I propose we move this article to just 'CHIKARA' as that is the full name of the promotion. --Endlessdan 14:13, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
I second this notion, and I have made a request in the appropriate section Xdgn 15:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - for reasons stated in WP:MOSTM. --DAJF 15:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose, as DAJF. However, it could be moved to Chikara. -Ulla
21:40, 28 August 2007 (UTC) - Oppose per WP:MOSTM. I concur with Ulla that a better title might be Chikara, if there's no evidence that "Chikara Pro Wrestling" is the actual company name. If it is the company name, however, WP:MOSTM would argue that the correct name of the article should be Chikara pro wrestling, while WP:CAPS would perhaps argue contrarily that it should, as a proper noun, remain Chikara Pro Wrestling. In any case, CHIKARA is entirely unsuitable. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 08:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: Fair enough, I have requested a move to just "Chikara", per WP:MOSTM Xdgn 11:32, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose as there are people whose names are "Chikara", so "Chikara" should likely be a disambig page instead of a redirect (what it currently is). It's also the name of a company in Japan, a magazine in Japan, several songs and albums, etc. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- I should note that I would support moving this article to Chikara (wrestling) or something similar. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 02:52, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I reverted the move made by Xdgn as it's obvious by the discussion so far that most people oppose the move as described here. Please do not move the article until a consensus is reached. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 18:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: They oppose the move to "CHIKARA", not to "Chikara (wrestling)", which meets the criteria of WP:MOSTM and the fact that there are other people and companies called "Chikara". Xdgn 11:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: I again reverted your move (this time a cut-n-paste move—please don't do that ever again as it can be a pain to undo) and placed a disambiguation page at Chikara. I think this discussion needs to be closed since there's no point in it anymore ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 04:26, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chikaralogo.jpg
Image:Chikaralogo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I've updated it AGAIN and I don't see what problems should arise now. 217.44.230.224 17:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
