Gaz-L posted:There is, however, a certain degree of obtuseness in requiring a PRINT media source for an internet encyclopaedia. The Janela article has literally 1 source they'd call good and that was Deadspin, which as we know is famous for its print edition. They don't exclusively require print media sources. Just something that carries more weight than profightdb.com or cagematch.net. Really it's because there needs to be some bar for entry. The problem with the Janela draft is that the basic bar is having a few articles like the Deadspin article, and the Janela draft has only one. If they could put a few more in, it would get in.

I feel like if Blizzard and Riot Games weren't determined to piss away their good will from fans over and over, E-Sports would probably end up being as big or bigger than wrestling is right now, since a lot of the teams have major funding from NBA or Pro Soccer (Football) leagues and will regularly do HUGE numbers for their world championships online. League of Legend's 2018 Championships drew 8 Million People Monday Night Raw on average, draws 2 million. It's apples to oranges since the fair comparison would be World Championships vs Wrestlemania, but E-Sports is growing, especially in China and it's snowballing in mainstream appeal over there.

If you know how to follow Wikipedia's rules, you can probably sneak by an article about anything as long as you don't fall afoul of someone like the Zack Ryder guy who makes it their pet issue. Remember Brimstone? That article was up for years until the wrestling community got wind of it.

wikipedia edit wars are won by the people who have enough time and dedication to filibuster and revert any changes they dislike most of the editors that are actively editing wikipedia in 2018 in significant amounts can dedicate weeks if not months if they care hard enough it's a mess and fixing it in any significant amounts would require cutting through wikipedia bureaucracy which, coincidentally, also requires all of those same skills to do

This is in response to the post above. on the surface it may seem silly if you don't think about it. But it's dangerous and harmful to society as a whole on a long-term scale to try and deny or hide passive trans representation in media, regardless of intentions; whether it's strictly coincidental through the thoughts of a prime dorkus, or perpetrated by someone with hate in their heart. Thanks

I really want a documentary about the people who edit and run Wikipedia just to see how the Wikimedia Foundation handles the disconnect between their want to be a recognized academic source and their reality of pop culture and trivia repository. I know they're always hungry to have more academics contribute but don't seem to realize academics and experts are busy putting out resources that they can put their name on.

So I only know Mexican wrestlers through their roles in US promotions. And of course many of the most famous ones are like Mysterio, tiny, very agile guys. But there's also Konnan and Del Rio, average sizes for wrestlers and not all about the "flippy-ness." Are most Mexican wrestlers like those two and Rey and those like him are their equivalent of cruiserweights still? Or are the promotions more dominated by smaller wrestlers?

Remember Brimstone? That article was up for years until the wrestling community got wind of it. i used to work at a lovely store in the mall and Brimstone came in and started telling all the workers he used to be in the WWF and WCW and ECW. so i asked him when he was in the WWF, he said 1995. i said i didn't remember ever seeing him and asked him if he wrestled under the name Brimstone. he insisted that he did and then left with hundreds of dollars of Legos.

But there's also Konnan and Del Rio, average sizes for wrestlers and not all about the "flippy-ness." Part of Konnan's appeal was he had a ridiculous physique during his peak, he was a bigger dude for that time. There's a decent range but with less focus on heavyweights than the US or Japan. Traditionally the heavyweight title of CMLL isn't close to the most important belt, a welter or middleweight title will be, or maybe trios. You have a variety of stars from 160 lbs to the 240 range, then a smattering of big heavyweights above that. LA Park is loving huge but that's just because he's fat as hell since he can't work out anymore, but will still do dives in big matches and all sorts of wacky bumps. There's a reason he's the Wrestler of the Year.
