BMF title[edit]

Hello. If you wish to add the BMF title to the List of UFC Champions article, please create a section on the talk page and gather a discussion. It is a mere symbolic title, that's not defended (Masvidal won it and it wasn't a thing even on his future fights) and probably won't be. Just a thing to add more "value" to the event. For example Mayweather and McGregor had a symbolic money belt as well that wasn't added to any official title articles as it was just a one thing for the bout. Makes no sense to add a championship that has no weight class or whatsoever related to it. Still, if you really wish it to be added, gather a discussion on the talk page. Thanks.

sportskeeda is not a reliable source[edit]

Hi Damvj, pls note that your edits on List of current UFC fighters have been removed as Sporkeeda is not a reliable source as part of their content is contributed by users. Pls do NOT use it again. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 05:33, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I got your message re: Sportskeeda the other day and I have it noted not to use them when I am uploading a source. However, I just take the reference source that other users used in other articles regarding whatever it may be. I don't look at what the source is in detail because I trust that it is okay as it has usually been up for awhile. A little copy and paste action. Other users put Sportskeeda references up, I don't search for sources unless a source hasn't been listed already (Ex. Updating a new fight announcement that nobody posted yet on any article involving fighters). Again, I use sources that have already been used that other people put up and have been kept there without anybody reviewing or taking them down yet twice now I have been flagged for other people's wrongdoing. Nobody updated that fight was cancelled on the List of current UFC fighters page and the card already passed 2 weeks ago. I'm just trying to keep everything up to date as it should be. I'll do a better job at verifying what sources I steal from other pages making sure Sportskeeda is not being used and you should be messaging the other users who initially used Sportskeeda rather than come at me. I am not the root of the problem. I do NOT appreciate this misunderstanding on your part. The fact you had to come to my page to tell me about something you already did is redundant. I got the notification and I will do better on my part. Thank you and have a great day! Damvj (talk) 14:01, 16 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message. Every edit we make in regardless we add or change info, we need to provide independent, reliable source for verification that including if the editor copy and paste other edit info, as that editor is accountable for the edit they make publish (in Wikipedia - if we dont know the gender of the editor, we use they instead of he or she). Secondly, editors in Wikipedia work on the own free time and do whichever edit they want as we are all volunteers. So I or any editor cant go through every edit made by any editor. I wrote to you as a good will so you may know and thank you for contribution and be safe. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 04:17, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MMA related articles[edit]

Hi Damvj, Greetings. Since you have edited a number of pages of MMA related articles in Wikipedia, pls see the below info so you may understand how things work here.

Pls visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts and read through the MMA Wikipedia guidelines.
When a bout is announced which stating "finalizing, in work, rumors, verbally agreed, in the press, this means the bout is not official yet. Wait until it official before place it under the "Announced bouts" section of the event page.
When a bout is announced in the press, editors put the match up in the "Announced bouts" section (inline citation is needed)
When UFC.com / its local web site (pls check the reference beneath the fight card table in the Wikipedia page), the editors would remove the bout in the "Announced bouts" and place it in the "fight card" section.
When a fighter pulls from a fight (due to injury/or by UFC/ visa issues and etc), we placed the info in the "Background section" (inline citation needed) and remove the injured fighter name and put "TBD".
When a injured fighter has been replaced, editor put the info in the background section (with inline citation). If the new match up has not been shown in the UFC.com fight card, then we will removed the match up from the fight card and place it back to "Announced section". If the match up already shown in the UFC.com then jut put the replacement fighter in the fight card section.
When the event named has been announced (such as UFC Fight Night: dos Santos vs. Tuivasa) then we place the info in the background section (with inline citation). If UFC.com has shown the event names (Fight Night events or UFC on ESPN) such as UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Medeiros or UFC on ESPN: Reyes vs. Weidman, then editor would move the article and article talk page name accordingly and not before, except the flagship event such as UFC 187, UFC 242 and etc.
No colour box in the fighter's page infobox at event fight card page. No title eliminator in the fight card or body text in fighter page or event page. No (c) - champion on the event fight card unless the fighter is the current champion of the weight division.
"method" in the fight table is as per Sherdog.com as per WP:MMA guideline and please do not interpret the method yourself even if the method is incorrect as Wikipedia is all about WP:verification and not the true.
Info box as per Sherdog. No other nick names or else we would have many nicknames pop up every time there is a internet meme.
Reach as per UFC.com as Sherdog dont have the info. Pls provide inline citation.
Stand - need to provide inline citation. IF you can find source to support it, leave it blank
Style - "The style parameter should only be used in MMA fighters that have participated professionally or in international competitions in other combat sports (i.e. boxing or kickboxing) and who are notable in said sports and deserve an article for their merits in these other sports (i.e. Antônio Rogério Nogueira, Alistair Overeem). It is suggested to MMA editors that they actively remove the style parameter in infoboxes of MMA fighters that do not meet these criteria." Leave style for modern mma fighter as they have to train several combat disciplines.
No Flag icon on info box or fight table.
Info could be obtain from Sherdog on Info box - need to support by sources such as teachers, belts, notable relatives, university, occupation outside fighting career and etc.

General info - ignore them if you have alreday understood and applied them.

Pls read referencing to understand about referencing and how to provide inline citation.
Leave a brief edit summary before saving you edit, so other editors know the nature of your edit for Wikipedia is the collaboration work from many editors.
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Ping|Cassiopeia}}. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~).

Pop to my talk page if you need any assistance as I am here to help. Be safe and best. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 04:24, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024[edit]

Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Nswix (talk) 22:16, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
