Talk:Braun Strowman

Semi-protected edit request on 25 August 2015

It should be noted that after Stowman debuted on August 25, 2015, Bray Wyatt introduced him later in the evening as Braun Strowman. This is his new name. XanderNavajo (talk) 05:11, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

 Not done. It is noted that he is apart of The Wyatt Family with his ringname in the infobox. Both have references. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 05:17, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

HOF

Should we include the fact he will be in the Hall of Fame one day? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.15.238.49 (talk) 19:03, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Only when he is selected as a HOF. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 19:30, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

STOWman

I am wondering if we can find some better sources for this spelling.

The template on the right mentions http://www.profightdb.com/wrestlers/braun-stowman-9702.html which I do not think is reliable, can't anyone edit that?

NXT section mentioning him competing under that name references http://www.wrestleview.com/wwe-news/52246-12-19-nxt-results-jacksonville-florida-tag-match but it is entirely possible they simply mistyped it, and that proFightDB might have mispelled the name based on WrestleView's mistake.

I am looking for a more primary source, like for example if there is a screenshot of his name spelled on-screen in NXT or audio from NXT of someone clearly saying "STOW" instead of "STROW" as Bray did recently. Ranze (talk) 15:25, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Bleacher Report has his name as Strowman. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2555058-braun-stowman-everything-you-need-to-know-about-newest-member-of-wyatt-family - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 15:29, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

YouTube is not a reliable source. - Kiraroshi1976 (talk) 15:55, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

That's the official WWE channel. It's reliable. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 16:17, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 09:23, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I will use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

• It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
• It contains copyright infringements -
• It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
• It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Prose

Lede

• Lede has all sorts of issues of WP:SEAOFBLUE. e.g - former WWE Intercontinental Champion Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• Not sure the debut and nickname couldn't be put into prose... Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• Seems a bit like it's in universe. The lede just covers what Braun has done; rather than any impact on the outside world, his strongman career and media career. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:11, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

General

• We don't need to say that somewhere is particularly near somewhere else, unless that's pertinent. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• When you use an acronym, you need to use the full term first, such as USSSA -> United States Specialty Sports Association. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• Lots of jargon, such as RBIs Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• Still lots of WP:SEAOFBLUE in the prose. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• Lots of acronyms not explained actually, such as NAS Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• See MOS:NUM, we use fifth/seventh > 5th/7th. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• What is that infobox for? Seems like massive cruft to me. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• (with the first name a reference to Milwaukee Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun) - This should really be its own sentence. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• Quite a bit of cruft here, specifically always mentioning "WWE" or (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley (collectively known as The Dudley Boyz) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• An incredible amount of WP:OL here that needs cleanup Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
• WP:Proseline is an issue here. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:38, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Review meta comments

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA and FA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definitely not mandatory. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}
  • Sorry, I'm going to have to fail this one. In addition to the above issues, there's quite a bit that needs cleanup. For some examples:
• Paragraphs are very long need splitting
• OL
• Needs more subsections
• WP:PROSELINE - this is the biggest issue.
• The personal life section is pretty pointless - either needs expansion or culling

If you can clear this stuff up, it'll be worth a second nomination. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:23, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
