Tip of the day...

Ask intelligent questions

When asking a question at the Help desk or the Reference desk, please include all the facts needed to answer the question. For example, do not ask "who was president in 1900?" without mentioning the country you are interested in. This prevents the volunteers of those departments from having to ask follow-up questions before providing answers. Friendly reminder: the Help desk is for questions on how to use Wikipedia, while the Reference desk is for questions about anything else (real world questions).

Help!

Hey my man, how is it going? Well I need your help on this one: I’d like to create a Wikipedia page for Deron Winn since he is currently fighting in the UFC, the problem is that I don’t really know how to create it, can you help me with that please? Take care. Mmagrappling (talk) 06:23, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Mmagrappling Greetings. Winn currently has 2 top tier (UFC) fights, thus he need one more fight to pass WP:MMABIO notability requirements. He is currently scheduled to fight at UFC 248 at March 7 2020, so by then he will meet the notability requirements to merit a mains pace in Wikipedia. What you can do is to do a draft first and pls provide citations (sources) to support the content claimed.

1. You can go to Article Wizard and follow the instruction.
2. Once you have created a "blank/empty/no content] of Draft:Deron Winn page, then copy the content (use as a template)of Charles Byrd (fighter) into Draft:Deron Winn and change the following
   1. the fight table (use Sherdog.com - see here and follow same formats (high/low cap, spacing, colon and etc to a tee)
   2. Add the 3 fights under "Ultimate Fighting Championship" - fight announcements and results
   3. Add brief content under " Early career", Background", "Personal life".
   4. Change the WP:LEAD/introduction and infobox' content accordingly that of Winn's.

Once you have done that, pls pop back here and I will check the draft for you. Once it is done, then wait until March 7 to submit the draft or let me know and I will review the draft and place it on mainspace.

For citation (source) you can either (1) use horizontal format Template:Cite Web for web source or (2) Enable WP:VisualEditor where you just past the URL of the source and the rest of the fields will be filled automatically.

Let me know if anything else I would help. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 16:34, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey, one more thing: Is it okay to add the NCAA Wrestling Championship medals in fighters? I think it’s a very important accomplishment and shows how good of a college wrestler a MMA fighter was, it doesn’t look unprofessional either. Let me now please, by now I’ve added them for Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren and Daniel Cormier if my memory works fine. Have a nice one Mmagrappling (talk) 19:05, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Mmagrappling Yes, you can add them in the infobox as well at the Achievements and Championship section - see Daniel Cormier, Chris Weidman and Tyron Woodley for examples. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 03:00, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Im working on it, thanks. Mmagrappling (talk) 03:18, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Mmagrappling Also pls remember to add additional 'colon: ( : ) = one indentation to the right, from the previous message thread before starting your message in any talk pages as this is the normal communication protocol in Wikipedia - see Help:Wikitext. You would place you name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/Participants and there are some MMA notability and Bellator notability proposal at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability, join the discussion if you are interested. Thank you for your contribution and pop back here if you need further assistance. Best. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 03:26, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey! Just finishes the draft of Deron, it was frustrating as hell because when I had done like 70%, I deleted everything accidentally, but now it’s done. Deron has fought 3 times in top MMA Organizations, twice in the UFC and once in Bellator MMA, so he can already have a page. Tell me if it’s alright and I’ll create the page. I’ll send it to you in the next message, thanks. 'colon: ( : ) Mmagrappling (talk) 23:07, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Mmagrappling Greetings.(1) pls add one additional " : " from the previous thread before starting your message (for one indetantion to the right) as this is the normal Wikipedia communication protocol. - See Help:Wikitext ; (2) Bellator is not considered top tier (or tier one) promoter at the moment, thus Winn has yet to pass the WP:MMABIO guidelines. There are several proposals at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability on notability and Bellator notability, join the discussion if you wish. (3) pls put all the content on the draft page. Another way create a draft is to the click search icon on the top right of any Wikipedia page (click on the magnifier icon) and it will lead you to another page. Type "Draft:Deron Winn" on the search filed and click search. The result would be "Showing results for deron win. No results found for Draft:Deron Winn .

You may create the page "Draft:Deron Winn", but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered." Click on the read text "Draft:Deron Winn" and you have just create the draft page. Copy and paste all the content of Deron Winn into the draft page. Once you have done that, then ping me. (If I do the above for you, the creator of the article will be in my name instead of yours. Do note, no one can claim the ownership of any articles in Wikipedia but the creator name will be listed on the article and your contribution log. Once you have done that then let me know. (5) To create an article takes a lot of effort and time especially when you are new to it, however, after you have created 10 articles, it will come a lot more easy for you. One of the advantages to create the article in the draft space is that you can save your edits and dont need to write it in one go and all the info (which you have edited/added/removed) can be found on the history page. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 00:03, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Hey again, just finished the draft, feel pleased to read it and let me know if it convinces you, thanks. Mmagrappling (talk) 06:25, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Mmagrappling Again (1) pls add one additional " : " from the previous thread before starting your message (for one indentation to the right) as this is the normal Wikipedia communication protocol. - See Help:Wikitext. Secondly, no need to delete the content of Deron Winn below as I have collapsed the info. I will look at the draft and make comment on the draft article as well as the history page. Cheers. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 06:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Mmagrappling Good day. I have added some refs and minor adjustment on the draft page. Pls see the history page of the draft and understand what I have done - see here. Overall, it is very well-written and I am very pleased to see all the sources you had provided. If this is your first article, I have to say I am impressed!. I review and move the page to Wikipedia mainspace after Winn 3rd fights in UFC. Thank you for your contribution and let me know anything else I could help.

Adminship

Hello CASSIOPEIA,
I have seen your work here within the past few months and your work has been outstanding especially with CVUA and NPPSCHOOL. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I was wondering if you considered stepping up to become an administrator. I really feel you could benefit from the tools. If you are interested, I would be happy to draft up a nomination statement for you. If you are not interested, it's OK. Interstellarity (talk) 18:47, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

@Interstellarity and Ritchie333: Interstellarity, Thank you very much for message above. Here - Diana (musical) form ritchie333 10 months ago regarding the same subject mentioned above. If both of you think I am suitable and would nominate me for the role, then it would be an opportunity for me to apply. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 06:39, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

@CASSIOPEIA: I have created the nomination page here. Ritchie is welcome to co-nom with me if he desires. Please indicate if you have edited for pay in your acceptance statement and answer the 3 questions provided. Best, Interstellarity (talk) 18:34, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

I have added a co-nomination. Read WP:RFAADVICE thoroughly and carefully now, so you can understand what to expect. Some advice : Q1 needs to mention the areas you want to work in (such as AIV and new page patrolling); you need to put something but don't add anything you don't want. Q2 should mention content first and foremost. Q3 needs to be honest (anyone who writes "I haven't had any conflicts" probably shouldn't be an admin as they're either inexperienced or untrustworthy), but not too honest so you cause people to oppose over it. BTW Interstellarity, having a large amount of AfDs matching consensus doesn't necessarily mean anything; it could be thoughtful opinions that sway a debate, thoughtless pile-ons with the herd, or everything in between. (See Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TheSandDoctor#Oppose) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:31, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: When I nominate candidates for adminship, what are some key statistics I need to look for before I nominate them? Interstellarity (talk) 16:49, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

The basics I look at are the AfD stats, particularly what they said in a debate where their opinion didn't match consensus, declined speedies, content work (especially GAs / FAs and article creations), no warnings on talk page, no evidence of incivility, plus any else I can think of that might cause issues. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 11:30, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: That's clear to me. Thank you. Interstellarity (talk) 13:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

@Interstellarity and Ritchie333: Thank you for the nomination and I will go through the info as provide and answer the questions accordingly. Best. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 01:28, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

@Interstellarity and Ritchie333: I have answered the required questions and accept the nomination. Thank you. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 04:13, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

At the moment, your answers have several spelling and grammatical errors. Can you please fix those before transclusion, otherwise people may jump on them. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:36, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: Thanks for informing and I have tried to correct them the best I could. I believe it might still have some mistakes as writing eloquently is not my strong suit. Best. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 10:58, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I will transclude the RfA, concurrently with Money Emoji's. Again, read WP:RFAADVICE carefully; also I'd recommend reading Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nick Moyes and Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/1997kB as a basic idea of what you'll get - take your time answering questions as good answers will mean a hassle free RfA with lots of support, while poor answers can result in opposition due to misunderstanding or concerns. But you know all this already. ;-) Additional - do not reply to any opposes at all; see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/GRuban - it's impossible to get the entire Wikipedia community to agree unanimously on what adminship should be, and even the best candidates get a couple of opposes. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:08, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ritchie333: Thank you Ritchie. It is regretful to know one mistake accepting a bad article of thousands I have reviewed with countless of successful CSDed and follow the WP:NPPDRAFT guidelines to move page to draft would cause some oppositions. Best. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 13:57, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

Okay, I think at this stage I have to say that I don't think this RfA is going to be successful. I've read through the various comments, and the general theme I'm seeing is not that you made a few mistakes; rather the problem is that when challenged on them your answers were found somewhat lacking. As somebody said, an experienced editor would understand what you mean, but a newcomer might get confused. Given we just went through a huge rigmarole to get rid of an admin who wasn't malicious or bad tempered but simply not brilliant at communicating, I can kind of see people's views that we shouldn't take that sort of risk again, and to some extent I agree with them. This sounds quite a harsh thing to say, but one thing I consistently look for in admins is excellent communication. When an article gets deleted, the author can't see who tagged it - they go straight to the admin, who needs to give a good level of customer service.

At the moment, I'll leave the RfA open because the feedback you're getting is constructive and not particularly vindictive, so it can be useful to read, but I'd probably recommend closing / withdrawing within about the next 24 hours. As you probably realise, it's not a criticism of you as an editor; I think most people are happy with the work you do. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 21:41, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

I would like to add on to what Ritchie333 said. If this RfA doesn't pass, I recommend taking this opportunity to read the comments by the people who opposed your RfA to see how you can become a better editor in the future. Maybe in the future, someone will renominate you to be an admin if you improved over a significant period of time (maybe 2 years). If I were you, I would take it as a learning experience. I really do not want to put you off from editing. You do great work here and I want you to keep it up. I hope this message sends a message of hope to you for a bright future. Best wishes, Interstellarity (talk) 22:57, 12 February 2020 (UTC)

@Ritchie333 and Interstellarity: Thank you for your kind words and I have withdrawn from the RfA. I have a lot to say, but I will keep it short and simple as too many qualms among the editors in the RfA which sadden me and it would be best I stay low. What surprise me is that, there are so many who support and know my work and yet I have no idea who they are and some went out the way to give evident and defended me which I am grateful. I appreciate those who give me constructive comments in regardless of their vote. All in all - It is what it is. It is a lesson I learn. Thank you Ritchie33 and Interstellarity for this experience. Best. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 06:35, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

RfA

I am so glad to see your RfA. Good luck. --DBigXrayᗙ 20:25, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

@DBigXray Given the disputes your currently in at ANI and recent disputes between us leaving this message here might have not been helpful to CASSIOPEIA's chances at RfA. Two hours after you left this post I asked a couple of awkward questions at the RfA .... as it happens I claim hadn't noticed your post here at that point but I can't prove that ... but your good luck message might not have helped the candidate (albeit the chance was minor). Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 07:53, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Djm-leighpark, It is hard for me to make any sense of the statement above. Can you elaborate more ( with diffs preferably ). There are so many questions. What/where/why did you ask ? how is it related to the nonsense at ANI ? Did someone name me on the RfA ? How am I responsible if you appear to dislike me for whatever reasons ? Your linking of the ANI and the RfA is quite shocking to me and you owe an elaborate explanation to both myself and Cassiopeia DBigXrayᗙ 08:00, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

DBigXray: Assume for the moment that I am finding you a pain and I determine that I will take revenge on any that are friends of yours. I might then decide to make things awkward for CASSIOPEIA. In that case leading me here would do CASSIOPEIA no favours. Now while that would be incredibly wrong of me there are some on here who might do that. I don't think I can explain it more clearly than that. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:13, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

RfA withdrawal

I hope you don't mind, I passed by and saw you had withdrawn from you RfA so I closed it. Don't let it bother you, you're still a valued editor. Rgrds. --Bison X (talk) 06:26, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Bison X Thank you for your kind words. Best. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 06:30, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

The RfA didn't go well for you and quite frankly everything that could go wrong for you did go wrong. And I at least feel at least tad guilty for part of that. I think a lot of the community will feel sad you didn't make it this time and are really hoping you'll fly it in a few months time if you re-try. I certainly am ... but that isn't a promise you'll get my support vote next time. Some of the issues raised are to a degree problems the community has with itself. Don't bother trying to over-analyse the church article in Q9 ... at the time there was some sort of weird fork and other stuff going on and my memory I thought I might rescue it or transform it into a settlement article or something .. I failed in that endeavor ... though that church does continue re-incarnate into mainspace from time to time so it probably needs to be salted. Having a key community member put a !oppose vote early on meant the ride was going to be pretty tough. But in doing a little scrutiny on your I was impressed by some of your training stuff!

Djm-leighpark Good day. Thank you for your message. Pls dont feel guilty, you have the right to voice your opinion as you see fit. I cant respond in RfA made thing a little difficult. I think there is 2 school of thoughts in Wikipedia and I will to discuss this with some admins to understand this further. All in all the thing pain me the most is that I didnt have the support from my mentor Mz7. To me who practice some martial arts, a mentor is like a master to us in the Dojo, to know you fail your master is an un-honorable deed as I have not exhibited the inpatient me when I first started out editing in Wikipedia where I still wrapped in the cut-to-the-chase, no-nonsense discussion in the corporate world since the mma talk page incident. I dont expect Mz7 to understand my sentiment. I appreciate his honesty and respect his comments. Best. CASSIOPEIA^(talk) 08:42, 13 February 2020 (UTC)
