Expansion Translation Effort for Steglitzer Kreisel

JeyReydar97, thank you for adding the two translated sections from the German counterpart article to the English version of the Steglitzwer Kreisel article that I have not added myself already, as well as adding the transcribed references.

Another thing to be taken into account is any major updates for Steglitzer Kreisel itself since the completion of this effort, which may be posted in the German article for it, but not in the English article for it (for example, restarting of work on that tower's residential conversion could be one such update). There is also one more translated section left to add to the English article: "Miscellaneous", one of two subsections there focuses on its use as a filming location.

Hi, thanks for your notice. I do have the article on "watch this page" so if any updates on the renovation of the building appear on the German counterpart I should immediately see them. I sometimes do patroll various of the articles I've translated from other languages. And I've recently added the missing subsections you mentioned above under a simpler main section of Trivia. JeyReydar97 (talk) 22:21, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Is that assistance I had asked you for enough for you to add yourself to the Translators Available page? Jim856796 (talk) 15:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I only cover skyscrapers and professional wrestling related articles when it comes to translations so I'm not sure about it. Can you please point out that list so I can first have a look and give it a thought? JeyReydar97 (talk) 20:03, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

Photographs by Joyful Violence

Hi JeyReydar97, I see that a lot of your uploads on the Commons are by wrestling photographer Joyful Violence. I myself made contact with Joyful Violence when they first appeared on Flickr about releasing some images and I think from there you got the idea to contact them as well. I was wondering, do have an kind of agreement with Joyful Violence about what kind of images they release? Do you ask for specific images each time and they agree? Or do they only allow certain images to be released?

I ask because there's certain images I'd like to ask for, but I don't want too many people asking the same photographer the same type of thing. I don't want to annoy Joyful Violence with multiple requests.

Basically, if you could give some info about how you go about asking for images from Joyful Violence, I think that would be good so that I don't ask for too much. CeltBrowne (talk) 11:52, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for reaching me out. Yes, I personally talk to Joy from time to time. I explained to them how their work can be used on Commons and I can say I've built a nice little professional partnership with them when it comes to professional wrestling related pictures. They immediately understood that their work not only can help articles with subject depiction, but also give them some credit for being a content creator. Aspect which not many photographers agree with because of the fear that their work can be "stolen" or used by different sites without their direct permission because of being free content.

So what basically Joy does is originally upload photos they personally take at various pro wrestling events under the "All Rights Reserved" type of license. I often point them specific files which I know are needed into various articles and ask them to change the license to "Creative Commons Attribution 2.0" in order to be eligible for usage on the UploadWizard. So in conclusion yeah, you kinda have to build a bridge between you and photographers in order to help Commons with new content.

So if that's what you meant by saying that you'd like to ask them for certain images without bothering them, you can just point them to me in here so I'll ask them to change the license in order to be uploaded on Commons. Hope I've answered to your request. Cheers! JeyReydar97 (talk) 15:01, 13 April 2025 (UTC)

That's not what I mean Jey; I understand how to build relationships with people on Flickr, I do that regularly myself. What I am asking is: Do they always agree to release whatever image you ask for, or do they say in some cases they want to keep the rights to themselves. Some photographers will give a few images away but don't want to give away the majority as they want to build a portfolio/build towards becoming full time photographers. Has Bear/Joyful Violence ever said anything like they can't give you a certain photo? Or not to ask for too much?

I don't want to ask for photos if they've already told you no, as they might get annoyed with Wikipedia people for asking too much. CeltBrowne (talk) 07:26, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

No, they never said no to any request I've made. They never said that they would like to keep photos for themselves and not give them away. At least until now. The thing is that I never ask for more than 4 or 5 photos per uploaded album regarding of how much they are needed. I think once asked them for more than five pics from the same album. However, the album contained over 100 photos so I kept the proportion in the limits of decency and not ask for too much. But Joy understands if a bigger batch of photos is needed for Commons. They're very kind and willing to help. I never push my luck though, it's beyond my interest. Hope I've answered your question this time! JeyReydar97 (talk) 18:17, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

Need help with articles on wrestlers in independent circuit

Hi, I've been struggling to get the first article out on an independent wrestler I would like to cover. These wrestlers were prominent in 90's and early 2000s but many footage were not archived properly and just because some of them didn't make it to big companies like WWE, a lot of their work wasn't credited properly. Currently the first article I wrote has been declined and the way I understand is that the wiki links are not credible enough, but i'm not sure what other citations I can use when most wrestlers (be it mainstream or independent) have their match data on cagematch.com or smaller sites. Will YouTube matches suffice to help cite the wins of a wrestler? And how can I improve the citations since your focus in on professional wrestling. Thank you very much. Grapplestreetteam (talk) 09:17, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for reaching me out. There are a few things you should know in this case:

• 1. In order to create a pro wrestling-related article (or any other kind of article) which can be eligible to have its own mainspace page, the subject must be sustained by significant in-depth coverage. Hereby I recommend familiarizing yourself with the WP:SIGCOV section of the WP:N. Just click on the wikilinks to access the information. Coverages should be provided by notable sites such as Wrestling Observer Newsletter (also known as f4wonline.com), POSTWrestling, Fightful, SEScoops, 411Mania, or if you are mainly activating in the Spanish branch of journalism you have Superluchas.com. For coverage sites, I recommend you to consult List of professional wrestling websites.
• 2. The era in which the respective wrestler is very important. If they mainly activated in the 90s and early 2000s, there might be high chances that the sites providing older coverage of matches could be significantly fewer than those ones providing information about more recent wrestling activity. While sites like cagematch.net, profightdb.com, quebrada.net or wrestlingdata.com can provide such information and are enough for proving a wrestler's activity, you must pay attention for routine matches. If an article only has less important info just like that, they are more likely to be declined in the draft phase. I don't recommend you bringing up YouTube as a citation source especially in a biography article. It works for events results if they are for example broadcasted live, but not for bios.
• 3. The article should have a good structure. Check my created articles section and broswe through some of them to see what yours should also contain. The article must tell a story and has to make sense in order to get accepted into the mainspace.

I want to know which wrestler you're talking about. I can tell you if it's worth your time trying to create an article about them or not. JeyReydar97 (talk) 10:07, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

Thank you very much, this is very helpful. I'm trying to start my first article on Buffa Ayooo, who used to be part of the tag team called A.M.I.L. (All Money Is Legal). He's formerly known as K-Pusha. He has since been a singles wrestler from his time in Japan and still actively wrestling. The list you provided is very helpful, I managed to find a few more old articles on him. Grapplestreetteam (talk) 10:59, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

No problem. The thing is that every professional wrestler sort of has their own kind of notability but it highly depends on the case. Aayoo here is only popular to a smaller community of fans probably composed of indie enthusiasts. However, he is a Zero1 veteran and has been trained in Japan. I'm seeing that he has won two titles with wiki pages or redirects.

In order to skip verifications of drafts which can be annoying and can take months until receiving a verdict on the articles, I recommend you to try and directly create the article. Just make sure it contains enough information and coverage. But keep it mind that it still might get deleted or denied at some point and tagged with deletion notices. I experienced this a few times before. I'd strongly advise you to study notable promotions (Japanese ones are highly preferable since Japanese wrestlers are always welcomed in new articles more than American, Australian or European wrestlers for some reason) and see which wrestlers who at least won a distinctive title (preferably with a Wiki page) lack of articles. Ayoo here could be a good start but there are plenty of other good options for your first. For example, there are many wrestlers from the NWA circuits who won NWA-sanctioned titles and lack articles. This aspect can grant notability in an instant. I don't know how broad your wrestling horizon is, but in any case, I'd recommend you to get the feel of the wrestling landscape so just cruise around and find what's in need. If you need anything just let me know. Cheers! JeyReydar97 (talk) 12:21, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

This is all so helpful, thank you so much! I will like to start with him because recently I read that he has opened a dojo in China which may potentially open up wrestling opportunities further in Asia so I feel like there's a lot more that can be covered after the article is accepted (hopefully approved). But thank you, this is just great. I think I know what to do for the next few wrestlers (they're also American). On another note, may I ask if you could add Buffa Ayooo to the Zero-1 notable personnel list? A few months ago while doing research on all the wrestlers I was trying to work on, I found out that he was missing from the notable guests so I tried to add it which I thought wiki allows members of the public to help to add information because that's what helps to build it. However right after my article was declined 2 days ago, another editor thinks I made "disruptive edit" and reversed that addition to the last revision you made. I had replied and asked what did I do wrong except that information being added but no reply till now. I think it's important no one's work gets wiped out. Grapplestreetteam (talk) 00:52, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

I forgot to also add that Buffa did win titles in NWA circuit. Twice I believe. But at that time he won as a tag team All Money Is Legal, and not singles. So I wonder if his transition may have somehow cause notability problems too. His tag team wins are definitely a lot more than his singles where he was in PWU, CZW, NWA.
