Should there be something about DDP before he became a wrestler? Wasn't he a night club owner? And, should there be something about him post-retirement? YRG? - Will —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yesitsnot (talk • contribs) 08:22, 16 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DDP attended St Joseph's High School, now known as Monsignor Donovan High School, in Toms River, NJ. I think this should be added in somewhere, but I am not sure where since we really don't have much background info on him in the article. AriGold 21:44, 10 January 2006 (UTC) Sorry but my dad went to high school with him and that is a lie.[reply]
¤I talked personally to DDP and YES he did go to St. Joseph's HS but was thrown out. It's been added to the article.--Iadiedee28 23:26, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I re-writ the beginning of the article. Wikipedia isn't a chance to show of your fucking writing skills, people, nor is it a place to advertise your website. If that power-slam link was in any way related to the article in question, list it as a source.
Excuse you for the language. This is not the place for foul language.
The inclusion of that paragraph was by request from DDP himself. It's sad that you have a problem with it. Since the page is ABOUT HIM if he asks for something to be included it SHOULD BE. I'm currently rewriting the article by combining various sources including ongoing phone conversations with DDP that he will verify if necessary.
Since Page holds the Jorgensen site in high regard and I cited it within the paragraph (which you incorrectly removed) and at the end of the article in "citations" there shouldn't have been a problem with its' inclusion. I will not make any changes until after I am done rewording the text from the site and including information from his book, articles and conversations as I verify, or am told is unfounded, facts and happenings in his life and career.
My reasoning is sound. The text should be reverted to what was there before your improper deletion. I'm signing my ID which you did not do. Please go to my talk page if you wish to continue this dispute. --Iadiedee28 00:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
1) Stop being a pussy. I didn't ask to be excused. 2) Stop trying to hint that you know DDP. On the rare chance that you do, this changes nothing; wikipedia articles still aren't a place to show off creative writing skills, and first hand information cannot be added; outside sources are needed to verify any information given. 3) The citation was fucked up. It did not link as it was supposed to, and the beginning was "signed" by the person who wrote it. Lettuceclock 02:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Does anyone know if Page and Kimberly are together or not? Just wondering. (MgHoneyBee 21:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Does anyone think this bit of trivia is worth putting in? The Cadillac that DDP drove Rhythm & Blues to the ring in was a prop at the nightclub that DDP managed in Ft Myers, FL, called "Norma Jean's" --Smart Mark Greene 07:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yea I dont see any reason why it should not be in there.
Eh. Wiki seems to be saying that articles with "trivia" sections should have said sections deleted, and the info implemented into the main page. However, this is still a "work in progress", meaning that I think for now it's absolutely fine. I say keep it. Lettuceclock 02:48, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The following line is completely false."The name "Dallas" is derived from his love of the Dallas Cowboys, despite having grown up near the home of the New York Giants and New York Jets." He grew up nowhere near the home of the Giants and Jets, as they both played in New York City at the time he was growing up. There are a lot of Dallas Cowboys fans in the area where he grew up, as there was no team in Jersey & at the time, a lot of people in NJ despised Philadelphia.--Hndsmepete 21:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you read his book, Positively Page, or listened to, watched or read any recent interviews you would know that YES his nickname of "Dallas" was derived from his love of the Dallas Cowboys. I asked him directly about this statement and he verified that the statement is indeed TRUE.--Iadiedee28 23:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And if you read his post, you would realize that he was arguing that Dallas lived nowhere near the Giants/Jets stadium, as those of us with knowledge of football/geography can tell you.
Did Dallas Page win? What happened with his trademark dispute with Jay Z? --Screwball23 talk 16:14, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I remember watching a match of DDP's toward the end of WCW where he performed a spinning DDT much like Mickie James' Finisher. Tony Schiavone or Mike Tenay then said that DDP called the move the Diamond Dream. I would add it to his list but I am not 100% sure on this, but I'm pretty sure it was a move of his toward the end of his WCW career. Anyone remember this? 216.47.153.16 16:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:DDPWCWring.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Editing Wiki per request of DDP. Adding in early, pre-wrestling, section, citations and edit of inaccurate or untrue statements. Will use the Power Slam site by Jan Jorgensen, Direct quotes from DDP, his books, audio book and dvd's. --Iadiedee28 13:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should change the picture of him to something more recent, or maybe add some into the article. If any can find a recent picture thats Public Domain, I'd be abliged Lettuceclock 20:05, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Should this remain?:
The matter has been settled but this statement is "According to one source..." Who is that source? There are orders from the judge so "it is settled" is all that is able to be released. How is this a valid "source"? I cannot figure out who put it up or I'd ask them directly.
Input please. --Iadiedee28 04:24, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dallas Page → Diamond Dallas Page — Dallas Page isn't his Ring Name, maybe a nickname but not a Ring Name. His ring name is Diamond Dallas Page. It should be moved to fit his Ring name as others do. —Hornetman16 (talk) 19:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I was reading the following and it's nothing but redudant.
He started managing in March 1988, where he handled Badd Company (Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka), a team he lead to the AWA World Tag Team Championship on March 19. During his time in the AWA, Page also managed Col. DeBeers and Madusa.
Page served as a manager in 1988 in the American Wrestling Association (AWA), where he managed the tag team of Badd Company, who were often accompanied by a pair of female valets known as the "Diamond Dolls".
In the third paragrah of pages early years it repeats what the second paragraph states. That being he managed Badd Company. I think that section needs to be re-worked. Mr. C.C. 05:37, 19 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It appears we have vandals that have nothing better to do than tamper with the statistics in this article. Is there any way to lock the "Statistics" area so that it can not be altered again? By the "Statistics" section I mean the box that contains DDP's photo as well as stats of his career that have all been referenced. I believe the information there is complete and accurate. I've personally undone vandal changes at least three times.
Can the users IP be banned if the area can not be locked. The IP on the past two changes was 124.183.133.79 Iadiedee28 15:09, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Is there a way to change the wikiquote link as at the moment it links to a search page with DDP's quotes being the third result down? Probably not a major worry right now (the article needs copy-editing to make it read more like an encyclopedia and less like a fan bio) but its a minor niggle and those are the ones that bother me the most Agent452 23:04, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page Falkinburg is used in the article but a Google search reveals more results for Page Falkenburg than Page Falkinburg.

According to DDP himself, he legally changed his name to Dallas Page. He doesn't elaborate on when he changed it, but he does state in this video on YouTube that he did have his name changed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjhE_uD4vdY
He says this around 6:10.
Did more research and it states on his official site that he changed his name in 2003.

The section marked "Early Years" states..."However due to poor initial training and a subsequent bad knee injury he gave up wrestling shortly afterward. His next appearance was not until WrestleMania VI, where he drove Rhythm and Blues (The Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine) to the ring in his pink Cadillac.[1] At this time, he was virtually unknown in the World Wrestling Federation.[6] Page ran a nightclub in Fort Myers, Florida called "Norma Jeans" (known for its Pink Cadillac) while he was working as a wrestling manager in the American Wrestling Association (AWA).[7] He started managing in 1988, where he handled Badd Company (Paul Diamond and Pat Tanaka)"The problem is that the match that is being referred to took place at Wrestlemania V, not VI which was in 1989. Even still if he was managing Badd Company in 1988 how could his first appearance after 1979 not be until 1989? There is a mix up of dates and/or information here.Johnnyfabulous (talk) 07:47, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why does it say he innovated the Diamond Cutter? I've never seen anything to differentiate it from a regular cutter. Coming up with a new name is not the same thing as innovating a move. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gopherbassist (talk • contribs) 05:04, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed quite a few links from the external links section. Many of them are dead links, some are links that are selling his books, and the rest either don't seem reliable, or don't seem to add anything obvious to what we have in the article. It seems to be better to have a few, high quality links, rather than an indiscriminate collection of links. I've added the links here for reference.
