List of ECW Television Champions

Co-nominating with IMatthew: This article follows the examples of the FLs, List of WCW World Tag Team Champions and List of WCW Hardcore Champions, and as a result has a comprehensive prose and list the content in a comprehensive manner. Any comments, however, will be addressed by Matt or myself.--SRX 23:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Comments

  • No bolding of the article title in the lead?
  • WP:BOLDTITLE isn't necessary if it doesn't repeat the title verbatim Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 05:24, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Exactly what Matthew said :)--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
      • That's good to know. Thanks. Nikki♥311 22:01, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure if there is a way to fix it, but the Google Books url is visible in the references. ETA: This might be because it is also lacking the book's title.
    • I added the title, its fixed now.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Why did Osbourne have to vacate the title and WWE not acknowledge his reign?
    • Its unknown per official records, so I added that it was unknown for both instances that you mentioned.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

  • "ECW was a subsidiary for the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA)," -- surely a subsidiary of?
    • I knew it read weird, I couldn't think of the right term. Fixed.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • "ECW, however, withdrew as a subsidiary of the NWA in 1994, and as a result, ECW gained ownership of the copyrights to its championships." --> "ECW withdrew as a subsidiary in 1994 and gained ownership of the copyrights to its championships."
    • Fixed.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • "The championship remained active until April 2001, after ECW filed for bankruptcy." I think "after" is the wrong word here, perhaps. Does it mean it "remained active until April 2001, even after ECW filed for bankrupcy", or "remained active until April 2001, when ECW filed for bankrupcy"?
    • Changed to when.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • "mid–2003" hyphen, not dash
    • Fixed.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • "The ECW Championship was the only former ECW title reactivated by WWE for the new brand.[4] The ECW Television Title history was, however, published by WWE on its website, although it excluded various reigns after edits by WWE.[5]" --> "The ECW Championship was the only former ECW title reactivated by WWE for the new brand,[4] although the ECW Television Title history was published by WWE on its website; however, it fails to include various reigns.[5]"
    • Fixed.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • "Hoynou legitimately injured his ankle" who?
    • Woops, I meant Hotbody (the previous champion).--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • "ECW forced Osbourne to vacate the title." why?
    • I added that it was for unknown reasons.--SRX 21:48, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

  • "Originally, ECW was a subsidiary of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), a promotion which had numerous subsidiaries." "which"-->that.
    • Done.--SRX 18:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
  • "The ECW Championship was the only former ECW title reactivated by WWE for the new brand"-->The ECW Championship was the only former ECW title to be reactivated by WWE for the new brand...
    • Done.--SRX 18:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Use centered em dashes for the vacated reign cells in the table.
  • Sources:
    • Both general sources need last access dates
    • Ref 2 needs format=PDF added to it. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:37, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Done both.--SRX 18:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
Dammit, I can't find myself getting here fast enough to reply! ;) Cheers, ayematthew ✡ 19:49, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rhino is spelled wrong in the second paragraph.
    • I actually misspelled it in the table, the proper spelling is "Rhino."--SRX 02:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Align the numbers in both the "#" and the "Reigns" column.
    • I'm not sure what alignment you were referring to, so I went with center alignment.--SRX 02:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Are the notes referenced?
    • They are sourced by the general reference.--SRX 02:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Add more notes onto the table, for example, "Rob Van Dam is the longest reigning ECW Television Champion." or "Rhyno was the last wrestler to have won the ECW Television championship."
    • I added a few.--SRX 02:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
      • It looks like you only added the ones I suggest :o, but it's fine. -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:47, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you sort the —es and the N/As all the way to the bottom?
    • No because in a previous championship list FLC, it came up to sort them by the order, so when the # column is sorted it goes in order.--SRX 02:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
  • There should be more categories that you can add onto this article.
    • I added a few.--SRX 02:37, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Best of luck, -- SRE.K.Annoyomous.L.24[c] 02:18, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
