Michael Morrison

Hi Skitzouk. I've deleted your article on Michael Morrison because he has never played a game in a fully professional league, and therefore fails WP:ATHLETE. Please don't recreate the article until he plays for City. Thanks, пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 22:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, in Turkey he may be known as Kazim Kazim (the name he used to obtain his Turkish national ID), but in English-speaking countries he's known by his full name of Colin Kazim-Richards. Being as this is the English Wikipedia, we should use the name that he is known by in English-speaking countries. It would probably be appropriate to use Kazim Kazim on the Turkish language Wikipedia - but not here. Cheers. DrFrench (talk) 21:37, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

That's all very interesting, but it doesn't change a thing. Everything I said above is true. All of the English-language media at Euro 2008 referred to him as Kazim-Richards, this is what people would look for. His own article should explain the use of the Kazim-Kazim name, but Kazim-Richards is what he should be referred to on the English-language Wikipedia - as most English-speaking people would be unaware of the use of the altrnative name and the reasons behind it. DrFrench (talk) 21:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Obviously there isn't any set Wikipedia policy that covers this situation directly - but it would be sensisble to follow the example set elsewhere, such as in the use of English or Irish language names. Here it suggests using the English name where the Irish name is not well-known amongst English-speakers - but making reference to the Irish name in the individual's own article. Following that example for Kazim-Richards would mean doing as I described above. Cheers. DrFrench (talk) 21:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to discuss the issue. Cheers. DrFrench (talk) 22:09, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

From the Editors

As I'm sure you noticed above, this is the 20th edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! It has come a long way since the first issue, and I'm sure it will only improve from here. I'd like to thank everyone reading this for continuing to read the newsletter, biweekly.

I'd like to especially thank those who have helped to get the newsletter to it's 20th edition; The Hybrid, The Chronic, TJ Spyke, Alex Roggio, LAX, ThinkBlue, Nikki311, GaryColemanFan, Gavyn Sykes, D.M.N., Naha, NiciVampireHeart, SRX, Zenlax and, RkOrton.

Also, lastly I'd like to thank Misza13, for sending the newsletter out for us, though his bot. His bot has to be the most important part of the process, because without it, the newsletter would not get sent to project members.

I know that's a long list, but they all deserve recognition for their hard work towards the newsletter. So again, thank you to that list of people, and thank you to all of the newsletter's biweekly readers. If you have an questions, comments, or feedback about the newsletter, remember those links below.
