Done - although as Cumberland Wrestling is a redirect toCumberland and Westmorland wrestling would this be a better description? -Arjayay (talk)14:24, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]Regarding:User:Siddiquekhan1978

Please change "[citation needed]" in "The settlers also found wrestling to be popular among Native Americans.[citation needed]" and reference page 123 of The Native American Identity in Sports: Creating and Preserving a Culture By Frank A. Salamone. Page 123 confirms the statement aforementioned in the wiki article, stating "There are accounts of Native American wrestling reaching back to the earliest contacts between Europeans and Native Americans."

Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format.Stickee(talk)01:18, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]"Professional competitive wrestling is uncommon.[citation needed]" - I'm not even sure what that statement means. If it means that 'grecko-roman' or other styles of wrestling are scarcely deemed to be professional; I wouldn't agree; as I cannot find a single reference to a match that was deemed to be professional. If it means that professional wrestling is uncommon, this is also untrue. It's also not true that competition in professional wrestling is uncommon; as there are "shoot" professional wrestling matches.
The article also mentions 'Anglo-American' Wrestling, as the title for traditional professional wrestling. Professional wrestling originated from Europe; and owes it's history a lot more toJoint Promotions; than America. I feel as though this part of the article is very POV against pro wrestling. It also can't be said that GFW, ROH and WWE organise professional wrestling; as that would imply that they are governing bodies; wheras they are independent companies (Even with worldwide appeal). They have no organisation over other wrestling in the country, other than those that they are affilated with (Say, EVOLVE).Lee Vilenski(talk)15:53, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

edit request #1article:WrestlingUnder: HISTORY:
Change: "Literary references to it occur as early as in the ancient Indian Vedas. The Iliad contains references, in which Homer recounts the Trojan War of the 13th or 12th century BC"
To:"Literary references to it occur as early as the Hebrew Bible and ancient Indian Vedas. In The Bible the patriarch Jacob is said to have wrestled with an angel (or, with God)[citation #A], and one of his wives, Rachel, uses a female-wrestling metaphor.[citation #B] The Iliad contains references, in which Homer recounts the Trojan War of the 13th or 12th century BC"
[citation #A] Genesis 32:24-32.[citation #B] Genesis 30:8.
Edit request #2article:WrestlingUnder: By COUNTRY:
Change:
"In Pharaonic Egypt, wrestling has been evidenced by documentation on tombs (circa 2300 BC) and Egyptian artwork (2000-1085 BC). Greek wrestling was a popular form of martial art, at least in Ancient Greece (about 1100 to 146 BC).[4]"
To: "In Pharaonic Egypt, wrestling has been evidenced by documentation on tombs (circa 2300 BC) and Egyptian artwork (2000-1085 BC).In Harran, (between Syria and Turkey), and in Canaan (Israel) Jacob and his wife Rachel display familiarity with male and female wrestling (1750-1730 BC).[citation #C] Greek wrestling was a popular form of martial art, at least in Ancient Greece (about 1100 to 146 BC).[4]"
[citation #C] Genesis 28:1-10, 29:1-4, 30:8, 31:18, 32:22, 32:24-32.
The reason for these requests is for the sake of additional completeness, not subtracting anything. Also, because the painting depicting Jacob wrestling with the angel is on the article page, but, without supplying the specific reference citation in the Bible text in which the event depicted can be found, nor, the references indicating the countries in which the events occurred.

Not done. A typical edit request is going to be about a wrong year, a misspelled word, a sentence that needs to be moved to a different paragraph, and so on. This is a huge edit and you're on the right track to where you can add it yourself."written over 60,000 pages over the last 30 years"? I don't know what your area of expertise is but I bet, somewhere and somehow, there's an extensive rebuttal to your belief that
"usually the Wiki pages are already more complete than my own knowledge base". There are tons of pages on here that are terrible. (And, for that matter, there are tons of pages that should exist but don't.) If a new user is showing tons of potential, I try to depict Wikipedia as intriguing rather than repulsive. I seem to have accomplished the exact opposite here, and that sucks. I hope you'll reconsider.CityOfSilver19:15, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done. The additions you sought have been added, although with several differences. I think the most consequential was my change of your term "Hebrew Bible" to "Old Testament" since theHebrew Bible is a distinct document from what you seem to have used, the Hebrew scriptures of the Christian Bible. This is what I mean when I say that collaboration and cooperation are key: this process is unfinished until you've weighed in. For that matter, I really think we need areliable source for the time period (1750-1730 BC) in the second change because those years can't have been numbered in Genesis like that.CityOfSilver19:34, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply] | Thisedit request has been answered.

A section on Shuai Jiao should be included. It is the grappling martial art of China and an integral part of Sanda. Notable Shuai Jiao fighters include Grandmaster Chang Tung Shen, Master David C.K. Lin, John Wang (World Champion of Shuai Jiao in the early 80's) from Combat Shuai Jiao (http://www.combatshuaichiao.com/).70.112.148.206 (talk)00:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Already done The section "By Country" already lists: "Shuai jiao, a wrestling style originating in China, which according to legend, has a reported history of over 4,000 years." This is linked to theShuai jiao article which provides more details.Eggishorn(talk)(contrib)19:30, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]I have tagged the following lineAn alternate version of traditional wrestling isprofessional wrestling. Wrestling in this style is often concluded in a raised ring; akin to boxing; and have pre-determined winners.
This line is unsourced and as far as I can tell its inaccurate. What makes it an alternate version? There may be some moves that cross over but to say its an alternate version is extremely misleading. Aladder match involves zero traditional wrestling holds or techniques but is considered professional wrestling. One is an athletic competition the other is scripted entertainment. Saying its an alternate version is a stretch and misleading. -GalatzTalk15:36, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

how can you say it's all a sport and not a martial art. this seems deeply biased. i do wrestling as a martial art, not a sport, and i assure you, it is wrestling, nothing else, and definitely an art not a sport.— Precedingunsigned comment added by86.162.175.235 (talk)09:21, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article has several places where one or more wrestling stars are listed. This is good. But, each wrestler is in the game for a limited time, years or decades. Sampling less than a dozen of them, I see Debut dates from 1934 thru 2000, with some lasting more than 30 years.
Given that Wikipedia pages will exist for decades or centuries into the future, each star should be labeled with some approximate idea of when they were wrestling, or when they were popular, eg (early 1960s) or (1930s - 1970s). Doesn't have to be very precise; I just want to know why nobody's talking about Shohei Baba anymore (retired 1998; died 1999) when I read it in 2030.OsamaBinLogin (talk)22:04, 24 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi,
As the page is quite cluttered I propose having a gallery for the 'History' section. The majority of the historical images can be put into the gallery which will mean that the page is tidier and easier to read through. The modern day photos seem more or less fine where they are so I do not think there is a need for a modern gallery. Any suggestions or objections? Thanks.RickyBennison (talk)22:13, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
