Hasbro Wikipedia Page

[romafan87]

Hi all,

I was bored at work today and took a crack at cleaning up the WWF Hasbro Wikipedia page, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WWF_Hasbro_Action_Figures.

I removed a lot of the heresay, speculation, organized some of the categories better, added references to photos, cleaned up the grammar, etc. I was going to add photo galleries for each series, but according to some of the Star Wars collectors, Wiki removes images of toys from their hosting due to violations of intellectual property. Let me know what you think; I'd be happy to patrol the page for edits and such.

The wikipedia page is complete trash! I saw some stuff about king haku, bob backlund and other figures. I deleted it a couple of times and some jokester just put it back up again! I didnt even bother doing it again!
Most of the stuff is ok, but i wish there was someway it could be locked up and only change by a consensus.
Wikipedia on a whole is trash with most of their stuff anyways.

I dont think the Kamala moon figure should be included as part of the 'Collection'.
If we are going to include that, we might as well include the Bret#2 with black elbow pads and pink wrist tape too.

Someone added the heresay back; they added the Other Rumors section. I've never heard of any of these with the exception of Tugboat. I'm going to delete this unless anyone has any proof of this.

[romafan87]

Took off all the unconfirmed nonsense. I'm going to report the guy's IP who keeps adding that. I appreciate the PM's from WF users and the pledges for assistance. I have a complete loose run of Hasbros and 1/3 MOC but am not really an active collector anymore. Just trying to do my part for the collector community!

YUP, as stated above. COMPLETE GARBAGE!
I only use it when i post auctions and forget some of the individual wrestlers action moves!
Oh well.

Gee thanks. Have you even looked at the updates?

[humanitarianaryan]

didnt mean anything towards your updates. im just calling the wikipedia hasbro page garbage in general. Also the fact that you updated it, and i the stuff i was complaining about (the backlund orange card amongst other things) was put right back up after you were done! Like i said, its garbage (nothing towards you or youre updates)

the wwf hasbro collection should only include commercially available figures and rings, or we can include kamala moon, testshots, protos, which makes no sense.

I Agree ICHIBAN!

I am not dreaming but the one day I checked it and someone had said about "many collectors create customs" etc etc - I said something about it on here and the next day it was gone...maybe it was a dream!?

I think the updates from roma are better!

It gets really frustrating because often times a good story gets in the way of facts. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia, ya know, facts, not rumors, anecdotes, etc.

[Burger Lad]

Hey man I read the update you did and thought it was really good!

[ICHIBAN 一番]

great job on this, im sure some e bayers change this page to suit their figures like 'bagged bossman' from summerslam 92.

I remember setting up an official Hasbro list on bigredtoybox.com back in the mid 90s, that seemed to be the most complete list done excluding unofficial variants.

Thanks!

Luckily, I haven't run into any of that so far. I have, however, run into someone adding about 100 wrestlers that were "canceled" for series 2/3 despite having no proof, bad time lines, etc.

[humanitarianaryan]

YES! Thats what i was referencing!
They named a TON of guys that were completely FALSE.
They were talking about Haku and backlund the barbarian, I can't even remember all the garbage they put.
