John Cena[edit]

Very good article, suitable references, pictures seem to go with the text. If there are any issues, I will sort them out. Davnel03 14:50, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Personal Life section seems rather brief. Is there nothing else to be said about this guy? --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 15:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not without it coming off like a trivia section. The stuff that was there (his brothers, college attended) was moved into the biography section of the article to try to clean it out.«»bd(^talk _stalk) 01:06, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Object too listy, too little prose, and 4 ref columns (hard to read, try 1). Sumoeagle179 18:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Done trivia section. Can you say anything major that can be changed. And by the way, how can we make it not too listy? Davnel03 08:44, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • The listy thing is kind of a wrestling problem. CM Punk passed FA despite the same kinds of lists.«»bd(^talk _stalk)
    • I really don't like how long the reference section is now. Would two columns be a problem? Nikki311 17:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've changed it to two, but in my opinion, it still looks too long. Davnel03 18:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really don't like ref columns of 2 or more, I much prefer single columns. ANything else makes it hard to read the refs.Rlevse 23:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, I've changed it back. Davnel03 07:59, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - The "personal life" section might as well be labeled "trivia" because thats what it is. None of the information there is important to the article, its just a bunch of random facts that don't have a place in the main space of the article and should, in my opinion, be scrapped. --Naha|^(talk) 20:18, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Johnny Fabulous, John Cena's father is still not mentioned in the article. The fact that he is also in the pro wrestling business makes the information notable and it should be added, and referenced. --Naha|^(talk) 20:18, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose - there is room for improvement with respect to prose; namely its diction, sentence structure, and strength of cohesion. The article also suffers from nasy overlinking - with numerous links irrelevant to the context or otherwise simply redundant. -- Chris.B 22:10, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there any specific things you dislike, any lines that catch your attention? Davnel03 15:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose, a little bit of everything. Please see WP:DASH; the article mixes spaced emdashes, unspaced emdashes, and spaced endashes. WP:MOSBOLD breaches. Incompletely formatted citations, all publishers aren't identified. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
