[edit] Year of birth

Melissa's year of birth was originally listed here as 1971. A list of bodybuilding births at http://www.bk-sportsmag.se/profil/fodelsedagar.htm gives her birth date as June 18, 1969. Her bio at http://www.melissacoates.net/about.com says "I started bodybuilding when I was 15 years old...", and then goes on to say "I had some good success as a junior, winning the Mid Canada Junior Girls title in 1985, and being the finalist the year before." This would seem to suggest that she started training no later than 1984. Since she says that she started training at age 15, the 1971 date is clearly incorrect. fbb_fan 00:29, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I went to high school with Melissa (Port Arthur Collegiate). I can tell you that without a doubt she was born in 1969. I can also tell you that she has a degree in Science, took steroids for years (big surprise), used to work out at Fitness Plus, owned by Dave Tofinetti, and that she actually was a pretty nice person. A little kooky at times, but nice. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 154.20.156.123 (talk • contribs) 3 June 2006.

[edit] Session wrestlers category

Concerns about this categorisation were raised on OTRS, and after some brief research I couldn't find any sources backing up this categorisation. Accordingly, I have removed the article from the category. --bainer (talk) 12:22, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

She is not "officially" doing them now, but has definitely done so in the past. See [1] for some evidence. Note in particular the section "Melissa's travel dates". Also, a Google Groups search, [2], will turn up lots of matches. By the way, the link you provided to OTRS doesn't seem to show anything about either Melissa or the category, so I have no idea what concerns you are referring to. fbb_fan 02:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
