Welcome

Hi. Per WP:NPOV, it's best to avoid inserting personal views such as "unbelievable moment" and "epic victory". Thanks. -- James26 (talk) 00:13, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Hughes

There is no primary topic for the name and in such cases, the disambiguation page should be located at the base name (i.e., should not have "(disambiguation)" appended). See WP:DABNAME. Cheers. older ≠ wiser 12:15, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Matt Hughes (fighter)/GA1

You've improved a lot but I fear that it is little too off GA status. I believe that if rushed, the article won't be getting it and the issues can't be possibly addressed within a month or some perhaps, if you agree, let me fail it for this time and then you may go for re-nom once addressed the issues. My initial 3 noms of GA failed but now, I've 6 of them. Don't ever feel down and Cheers! TheSpecialUser ^TSU 22:44, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Do whatever you think is the better option. But, what would happen if we wait a month? LlamaAl (talk) 23:38, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can wait but it'll become too much and few points will be missed by me. I'm not just failing it. Since this is your first try at GA, I'll give a detailed review of what the article is in need of. If you address those issues, it is good to go. Since the issues are a bit more in number, it'll take me a while giving them. Happy editing! TheSpecialUser ^TSU 23:42, 29 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. I'll be waiting. Take your time.23:44, 29 August 2012 (UTC)LlamaAl (talk)

UFC on FX

Dude, what the hell are you doing with the UFC on FX event pages ? Why not seperate pages ? Like everything else.. And if you make 1 whole event page, make sure it is up to date and complete. Thanks SiMntjMMA (talk) 08:50, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what are you talking about. I don't partcipate in the UFC on FX events in 2012 page, and I have NOT made any whole event page. Thank you for your time.

LlamaAl (talk) 21:09, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We made the exact same edit at the same time.

The "Silva vs Sonnen" revert at Chael Sonnen. No edit conflict, it's just like my edit never happened. I'm not complaining, since the result is the same, just pointing it out because I've never seen that happen before. Maybe you haven't either. Thought it was an interesting coincidence. Anyway, take care. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:09, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting. Happy editing! LlamaAl (talk) 13:09, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

September 2012

Your recent editing history at UFC 153 shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. —Kerfuffler 00:53, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted vandalism. I work very hard in MMA-related articles, and sincerely, IP's don't know how to participate in a talk page. Thank you.

LlamaAl (talk) 01:07, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter; you could still be blocked for 3RR. I suggest you take it to WP:AIV. —Kerfuffler 01:22, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I accept the consequences of my edits. I'm not the only one reverting out there.

LlamaAl (talk) 01:25, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar

For your contributions to UFC related articles! You are doing really great work in improving them and updating. We do need more dedicated editors like you in specific areas of wiki, like you are with UFC topic. Keep it up! For now, I've left the issues at Talk:Matt_Hughes_(fighter)/GA1 and will be done by today night in adding the changes needed for c/es. TheSpecialUser ^TSU 00:52, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Hi

Hello. In regards to [[Category:Scheduled mixed martial arts events]] refers to Upcoming mixed martial arts events (its former name). As these events have already passed, it is unnecessary to have that category there. Thanks for your edits.(Justinsane15 (talk) 06:06, 19 September 2012 (UTC))[reply]

OK. I understand.

Request for your help

Hi there. I've seen the changes you've been making to UFC 120, as well as the improvements you've been making to 148 and Matt Hughes. Thanks for the help with 120. Was wondering if I'd be able to get your help on User:Paralympiakos/Sandbox 2 (not sure if that link will work, but if not, there's a link on my main userpage). I'm trying to source all of the bonus awards given out in the UFC. I've filled in almost all of the winners (as it started at Ortiz vs. Shamrock), but sourcing the winners takes FOREVER. I'm wondering if, when you had spare time, you could help out starting from some of the 2008/2009 events (e.g. UFC 90 onwards), since I'm working backwards. If you can, that'd be great, but just a little advice, copy (ctrl+c) any work you do before saving, in case we get edit conflicts, or you'll accidentally lose any progress you may have made. Thanks. Paralympiakos (talk) 23:37, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I'm very happy to help. I have holiday this whole weekend, so I can source everything I can.
LlamaAl (talk) 14:06, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. Sorry if I sound bossy, as I don't mean to be, but could you do a few at a time and then save the changes? (Just rather than doing one at a time, then saving). Just helps out the edit history, in finding old stuff if I ever need it. If you find any inaccuracies, then feel free to just correct them. The current page of List of UFC bonus recipients has lots of errors, e.g. UFC 120 was $60k, not $50k. Thanks! Paralympiakos (talk) 15:07, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nice.
