This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Randy Orton article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Randy Orton is part of the The Legacy series, a good topic. It is also part of the Rated-RKO series, a good topic. These are identified as among the best series of articles produced by the Wikipedia community. If you can update or improve them, please do so.
This professional wrestling article is a frequent target for editors to add a week-by-week synopsis of storyline events, unconfirmed information, rumors, and other content inappropriate to an encyclopedic article. Please make sure to familiarize yourself with what Wikipedia is not, and consider whether your additions to this article will serve to make the article larger and harder to edit for style, clarity, and grammar.
Needs some pretty heavy copy-editing. There are tons of comma, independent/dependent clause problems.
There are two dead links that need to be fixed. See here
The lead needs to be expanded to better summarize his overall career. Take a look at Amy Dumas for an example.
The article is getting pretty long, and it will only get bigger with time. Go through his earlier years and delete non-notable matches and feuds. Not every feud is notable in a performer's overall career.
Dates do not have the "th" on them. May 4th --> May 4.
Paragraphs should be longer than a sentence or two. Either combine them with other paragraphs, expand them, or delete them altogether.
Remove wordiness. "Randy then went on to face Hardy" --> "Randy then faced Hardy". "Randy then would face Hardy" --> "Randy then faced Hardy".
Are his favorite bands encyclopedic information? I think that's trivia.
NNDB should not be used as a source.
Stand alone dates should not be wikified. May 12 --> May 12...2007 --> 2007...but May 122007 is okay
In the second paragraph of the 2006-2007 section, the sentences about marijuana and anger management need to be cited or removed as libelous, per WP:BLP.
