Over the Edge (1999)

Nominator(s): S R X''

Featured article candidates/Over the Edge (1999)

I'm nominating this article for featured article because after extensive work to get the article to comply with WP:PLOT, WP:FICTION, and WP:IN-U, and after a lengthy peer review, I believe this article now meets the FA criteria. In addition, unlike other pro wrestling articles, this is unique because it involves a death of a wrestler at the event. Any comments, however, will be addressed. S R X 22:02, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Note to source checker - http://www.hoffco-inc.com/wwe/ppv/ppv/ote99.html is not reliable as a whole, but in this case, the source is verifying the on-screen talent, which they credit to videos of the event on the internet, in which the talent is visible and announced at the event.--S R X 22:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Image review: ~~Please complete an {{Information}} template for Image:Bradshaw.jpg.~~ All ~~other~~ images appear to be fine. --Moni3 (talk) 01:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added that the {{information}} template to the mentioned image. Thanks.--S R X 01:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Comments - A wrestling PPV article from when I actually watched wrestling! That was a long time ago. For those who don't know, Owen Hart's death become a national story and led to widespread criticism of the then-WWF. Therefore, this has more going on than most articles of this type. I did offer two rounds of comments at a peer review, so I don't know how much more I can find in this review, but that's never stopped me before.

"From the six scheduled bouts on the undercard, two received more promotion." One of the other active wrestling FACs puts this as "### received more promotion than the others", which I think is an improvement.
Background: second sentence of the section is huge, and runs on quite noticeably: "For three months before the event, several WWF professional wrestling matches and background stories were played out on WWF programming, Raw is War, Smackdown (no exclamation point?), and Sunday Night Heat, to create feuds between various wrestlers, casting them as villians and heroes."
Comma after "WWE's previous pay-per-view event".
"the daughter of the WWF Chairman Vince McMahon." Remove second the.
"The Undertaker's price for Stephanie's return was the control of the wrestling organization." I don't like the first "the". Can another word be substituted?
Real names needed for the Road Dogg and Val Venis.
Event: "In the final contest, Vince McMahon (second time linked) defeated Mildeon (Dennis Knight) in a singles match that ended in "No Contest". If it was a No Contest, how did McMahon win?

That's it from me for now. I'll come back for further reviewing at a later time. Giants2008 (17-14) 19:35, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
