NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Championship

Would someone please fix the error at NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Championship. The last entry in the title history table is #140 for J.T. Wolfen starting July 4, 2009. A new editor changed the reign period from

{{age in days nts|July 4, 2009}} to

{{age in days nts|July 4, 2009|2010}}

The change gives an error because {{age in days}} cannot work without a full date. On the other hand, undoing that edit would currently show 5,510 days which is obviously wrong. If the correct date can be found, please enter it. Otherwise, remove the template so at least it is not showing junk. Johnuniq (talk) 08:23, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For weekly wrestling shows, subsections listing every single combination of announce team need to be deleted

Subsections such as AEW Dynamite#Commentators and WWE NXT#Commentators or indeed entire articles such as List of WWE Raw on-air personalities are ridiculous. First and foremost, they're almost entirely uncited. Secondly, they unwieldy monsters that add massively to the length of the article without adding useful information. Thirdly, they're pretty much just Fancruft. Do Wikipedia readers really need to know that Chris Jericho once commentated alongside Jim Ross and Excalibur on the second hour of the July 15, 2020 edition of Dynamite? Or that out of 100s and 100s of episodes of WWE RAW it was twice announced by Jim Ross and Todd Grisham?

I need this things need to be completely culled and articles such as List of WWE Raw on-air personalities put up for deletion. CeltBrowne (talk) 21:03, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been thinking the same long time ago. I have no problem with regular commentators, like Ross Lawler, Tazz Styles or Tenay West. But its fancruft to include every single combination of the commentators, many of them being a one time deal. Dynamite is just 5 years old but has 22 combimations.--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 23:38, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. There are also pointless articles like Secondary championships in All Elite Wrestling. Random and non-notable stables/tag teams should be redirected too. While such contributions could be considered as WP:GOODFAITH, but they are actually bloat and fancruft material (harming the quality and encyclopediac tone of our project). --Mann Mann (talk) 05:00, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Liv Morgan#Was she born in Paramus or Morristown?

Input from experienced project members would be welcome in the discussion at Talk:Liv Morgan#Was she born in Paramus or Morristown?. The IP 102.67.77.171 returned after its IP range 102.67.76.0/22 block has been expired. AmritR012 (talk) 00:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons mass DR has been closed...

...as I'm sure you've noticed from the Commons Delinker edits in your watchlist. What was learned? For one, the Apter mags with cover dates ranging from August 1973 to October 1987 are all in the public domain. From the previous smaller DR of last year, we learned that Wrestling's Main Event is largely in the public domain (I don't know when they discontinued that mag, but there's the Berne Convention cut-off date of March 1, 1989 to take into consideration). Is this resource something we want to publicize as a project? It seems those who have uploaded photos have done so for very specific reasons, and yet still there's lots of fertile ground to till, given the known extent of what's PD.

Did you have something in mind?

As far as I go, I've been thinking that it might be worth requesting a custom upload template for PWI and Main Event on Commons:Village pump/Copyright. CeltBrowne (talk) 00:50, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the time since I first posted, I've been poking around. Dick Beyer is now unillustrated. Internet Archive has a 1963 issue of Wrestling World with photos of Beyer as the Destroyer. The existing copyright renewal databases are oriented towards books, so determining the copyright status of periodicals could be tricky. Offhand, it appears the copyright wasn't renewed, but you shouldn't go by guesswork if we're supposed to take copyright seriously. The other thing on my plate: since we now know that certain publications are PD, there should be more of an effort to provide coverage of specific historical events, not just specific personalities. As for what I think you're getting at, project space exists to educate project members on what resources are available to them, so a mention should be made somewhere.
