==WWE Hall of Fame==

Warrior Award winners are not Hall of Fame inductees, so please stop including them in the section. Also, please do not upload any more images of Stan Hansen. You claim the image is an "own work" but it's clearly not. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]^{[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]} 23:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

:Actually, no they're not. There was a big argument over this last year. Either way it will be moot soon anyway. As for the images, if you continue to claim ownership of images you do not own, you risk a block. This is Wikipedia's image policy and has nothing to do with me. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]^{[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]} 01:14, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

::No they are not. If you actually look at the promotional material, the distinction is made clear. Also, they are not listed in the section at WWE.com. By the way, all of the images you uploaded have been deleted by the actual Wikipedia police. I suggest you read up on Wikipedia's [[WP:IMAGE|image policy]] before uploading any more. Users like you whine and cry when you are reverted and scream about users claiming ownership, but never forget that Wikipedia is a collaborative effort and it's a two way street. You think you're making improvements? Well, so do I. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]^{[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]} 00:34, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

:::It's listed on the page because it's an award presented in conjunction with the WWE Hall of Fame. Just about every sports Hall of Fame has some type of award (usually for journalists) where they honour people at the ceremony but don't induct them. WWE is no different. Anyone with even a shred of intelligence would realise that. You have provided no proof to back up your claims, you're just making assumptions, [[WP:A|Which is also against Wikipedia policy]]. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]^{[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]} 00:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

You're citing Wikipedia? You are aware that if I wanted, I could go change the number right now, correct? What the page says (which was a compromise from a battle last year) is not reflected in what sources say. This is important per [[WP:RS]]. And yes, policy is very important here. If we didn't follow things like RS, we'd just have a bunch of users like you adding whatever they wanted. Let's take a look at WWE.com [http://www.wwe.com/classics/wwe-hall-of-fame/ultimate-warrior-wwe-hall-of-fame-2014-26175605] notice how none of the Warrior Award winners are included? Next, let's take a look at the WWE's own press release [http://www.wwe.com/shows/wwe-hall-fame/wwe-hall-fame-2016/article/joan-lunden-warrior-award-wwe-hall-fame-2016] where a clear distinction is made that she is receiving the award at the ceremony, and not being inducted into the actual Hall of Fame? -- [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]^{[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]} 14:17, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, your attempts to offend me will not work. The issue last year was worked out with a compromise which you tried to remove. [[WP:RS|Wikipedia is based on sources]] and [[WP:V|verifiability]]. I really suggest you read those two policies. What's listed is indeed sourced, and WWE actually has an image gallery called, and I quote, "[http://www.wwe.com/classics/wwe-hall-of-fame/every-wwe-hall-of-famer-ever-photos every WWE Hall of Famer ever]" and it does not include either recipient. WWE has been inconsistent in the past with the award, but this year they have been very consistent. It's an award they present at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony, that's why it's on the page. If it's around for a few years, we might spin it off into its own article. I should point out that many Hall of Fames do have awards where the recipients are not inductees. The [[Hockey Hall of Fame]] is one example, where they have two awards for media who are presented the awards at the ceremony, but they are not considered inductees. -- [[User:Scorpion0422|<font color="#FF8C00">Scorpion</font>]]^{[[user talk:Scorpion0422|<font color="black">0422</font>]]} 12:19, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
