Semi-protected edit request on 10 May 2025

Please remove the phrase in Introduction-"(CM PUNK IS)Regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time" As it has no citations or sources or any kind of evidence ,and this is highly misleading information. Nwwlbisfifflsaevcr (talk) 04:25, 10 May 2025 (UTC)

It is cited in the Legacy subsection with citations 350 and 351. I'm not sure how it can objectively be considered "misleading" as it is an opinion, however, it does beg the question, how many citations are necessary for such a statement to be noteworthy? Prefall 05:05, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
 Not done: As noted, there are sources in the article text. LizardJr8 (talk) 12:50, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Personal life

According to the text in the PERSONAL LIFE section,

He also identifies as a pro-choice feminist and a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement, LGBTQ rights, and Palestine.

Clicking on the link to CM Punk's statement reveals the following statement:

"I wish we would stop genocide, you know."

The answer was about the upcoming US presidential election. Firstly, for example, if someone doesn't support war, it doesn't mean they support either side. So, if they said these words, it doesn't mean they support Palestine. Can't someone who doesn't like Palestine say "stop what's happening in Gaza?" It's about accuracy. Secondly, the link refers to an Instagram video, in which CM Punk appears very amused after saying "I wish we would stop genocide, you know." Is this a reliable link? 79.186.18.99 (talk) 16:10, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Precise/concise language in lead

@Lemonademan22: I've searched through the archives and this "consensus" you you assert does not, in fact, exist. To the contrary, multiple other editors including yourself have agreed that MOS:CURRENT/WP:CURRENTLY should be applied consistently. Furthermore, you are the only editor, based on my look through the page history, to have added the less-concise "as of" wording. Please stop adding it unless you actually get a consensus to do so.

In this case, the information you are trying to convey, which is when X wrestler's contract began, is irrelevant trivia and not time dependent so as to warrant the {{as of}} tag. The lead is meant to summarize the key points of the entire article. "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (hihi) 23:29, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

The consensus discussion was here, from two years ago. I believe most professional wrestling biographies now use "As of", so this concern would affect many more articles than this. Prefall 23:36, 13 January 2026 (UTC)
Looks like that discussion is based on a misinterpretation of the wording For current and future events, use phrases such as as of (bolding mine). I have no issues with bringing this up to a place with a higher WP:CONLEVEL such as Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Words to watch or WP:Village Pump and having this discussion at one of those venues.

Here's the issue:
The community consensus answered such an issue, though temp accounts and inexperienced editors whom aren't accustomed to either Wikipedia standards or PW MOS standards remove it without knowing of the consensus.
But if you wish to go higher, that's your prerogative if you believe it will overall improve Wikipedia. Lemonademan22 (talk) 21:25, 14 January 2026 (UTC)
