Titles

Changed 3 or 4, I think, not all. Didn't realise it would have that effect, nor do I know what exactly to do with regards the redirecting. Could do with some advice on that one Paralympiakos (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

What exactly did I not cite? Every time I edit, I make sure to add a source. You need to open your eyes and quit whining about everything. 24.107.210.161 (talk) 06:29, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

could you work on this page?

some people have tryed to add unconfirmed fighters and somebody put the name "dick nipples" on there just to be a pest. I would watch it myself but i don't know wiki enough. thanks 174.44.51.68 (talk) 07:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

TUF 7

is there any way that we can change the TUF 7 bracket to the TUF 10 bracket or something?Mollica93 (talk) 23:32, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Why? Is there something wrong with the brackets on the TUF 7 page? --TreyGeek (talk) 00:12, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Ginásio da Portuguesa

It is not necessary to be an admin to remove a speedy tag. Anyone other than the article's creator may do so. I have added some references to Ginásio da Portuguesa to try to establish notability. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:27, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Record Removal

I have been removing records from MMA articles but there is two people that keep adding them back. I need your help to keep the records off the Wiki articles. RapidSpin33 (talk) 00:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Just going to write it here also, there is no need for record removal. It's a useful thing to have and also, it's part of the page of WP:MMA and so is the standard for MMA pages. Paralympiakos (talk) 01:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

How is it a useful thing to have on there? I would really like to know, give me one good reason it should be included. TreyGeek told me awhile back to start removing them because they were redundant and irrelevant. 01:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by RapidSpin33 (talk • contribs)

(EC)This is another one of those off-and-on discussions in the MMA WikiProject that goes back two years. Some people feel not all of the information being placed in the record boxes belong there. Some people want more information. I personally believe that a record column is redundant (and have stated so in the various discussions I've been part of). I also, believe, the use of flags goes overboard (and also is borderline not following the WP:MOS). Here are links to the previous discussions (oldest to newest mostly): [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]

Unfortunately, this is another one of those issues I believe is an uphill battle to fight against though. If someone(s) wants to try and spearhead a(nother) discussion at the WikiProject on the content of record boxes, I'll chip in with my thoughts. I may even attempt to help enforce whatever the consensus is. But without a current consensus, I might keep my dog out of this fight (again). --TreyGeek (talk) 02:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

About to upload an image

Alright Trey, before I upload this image, I wanted to make sure this was okay. On Facebook I asked the person who owns the photo if I may use it for Wikipedia, he gave me permission, I just don't know if that is okay and how to upload it stating that he did say okay. RapidSpin33 (talk) 19:47, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

You'll want to read up on Wikipedia policies on copyright issues, particularly "Granting us permission to copy material already online". In a nutshell, only the owner must give Wikipedia permission to use the photograph. Either they can upload it themselves, and add the appropriate License, or they have to send an e-mail to Wikipedia giving permission to use the image. --TreyGeek (talk) 03:08, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

...Or you could actually read the warning message that Moonriddengirl (talk · contribs) put on your talk page about the image which explained the procedure. --TreyGeek (talk) 03:13, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Also, I have the poster for Bellator 14 and I every time I try and upload an MMA event poster, they get deleted. How does one do this? RapidSpin33 (talk) 03:26, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline would be of use for you to read. I would also attempt to imitate what was done with other event posters (such as File:Ufc101poster.jpg). --TreyGeek (talk) 03:30, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Ryuichi Murata

The sources establish notability, considering there is an interview and other news sources in there. Please do not just remove all sources without discussing it first in the AfD. Silverseren^C 03:44, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Tournoi International

"SPIRIT MC 16 REVIEW & PHOTOS: CLASH OF PRIDE" - MMA Weekly

"Lim Retains Middleweight Title at Spirit MC 17" - Sherdog

"Ring Ready to Move Forward After Successful Return" - Full Contest Fighter

I can understand why you got rid of the extra stat links, but why did you also get rid of these links when they have information specifically about his fights? At the very least, they should serve as links in the right spots. Silverseren^C 18:44, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I didn't find a use for them in the prose of the article. I personally dislike article that include excessive fight commentary or descriptions. I also felt there was talking too much about a third place tournament finish and while there was zero coverage his first place finishes. Wikipedia is a group effort. If you feel information should be added back in you are welcome to do so. Just be sure that it is well written and doesn't include commentary or opinion statements (ie "strongarm his way into a victory", "he won handily", "a simple victory"). --TreyGeek (talk) 18:57, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

I can understand why you rewrote it. What I meant was, you can easily add the appropriate ones on as references after the line "Murata went on to fight on a number of cards with the Deep and Spirit MC MMA promotions." If you want, i'll go do it. Silverseren^C 19:02, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Nominate an Article for Deletion

I think the Jules Bruchez page needs to be nominated for deletion. Being on the show does not give notability nor does a minute long UFC fight in which he lost. RapidSpin33 (talk) 15:14, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Then nominate it for deletion. --TreyGeek (talk) 15:22, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Which deletion do I pick? RapidSpin33 (talk) 23:16, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

WP:AFD Nothing to really choose. Just follow the procedure outlined for nomination. --TreyGeek (talk) 03:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking that I'm finally getting the hang of it. Here is one I just nominated, I'd really like your input towards it. Article RapidSpin33 (talk) 16:09, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Yup, that works. The only suggestion would be to also add the AfD to Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Martial arts, but that's optional. Adding it to the sorting list makes it easier for some people to notice it. --TreyGeek (talk) 03:28, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Input needed

Your input is always welcome in discussions for deletion of articles. Here are two I have nominated. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joseph Henle and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clayton McKinney. RapidSpin33 (talk) 22:24, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You are

You're for all intents useless.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:31, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

About Seth Baczynski

"Close to being stopped" Who says? Source needed"

You said that but The reason I put that in was because Seth almost finished the fight and in an interview on ufc.com Brad Tavares even said it. Also, the fight was not a close fight. Brad dominated the whole time. UFC.com even agrees with me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Falcons8455 (talk • contribs) 21:32, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

That's fine. But it needs to have a reliable source cited. --TreyGeek (talk) 21:34, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

There is a video on the homepage of ufc.com that says Brad Tavares dominates Seth Baczynski at TUF Finale. If I refer to the page it will just go to the ufc.com homepage.Falcons8455 (talk) 21:37, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

About Chris Camozzi

Someone keeps saying that the fights are close and they werent. So I am trying to replace that with something else. Why don't you ask the person who said it was a close fight to source it? Because they are the wrong ones. Falcons8455 (talk) 21:49, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Dave Herman

What weightclass does Sherdog say he's in ? because they say his weight is 239 pounds (Heavyweight) in the link from his Wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hexenjagd (talk • contribs)

Yes, he is 239. However, you put 265. --TreyGeek (talk) 14:41, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

His WEIGHT is 239 The Heavyweight WEIGHTCLASS is 206 to 265 pounds see here Heavyweight (MMA) so he fights in the Heavyweight Weightclass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hexenjagd (talk • contribs) 19:13, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

You keep listing his weight in the article as 265 which is incorrect. --TreyGeek (talk) 19:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I never meant that his weight was 265 pounds it was a link to the 265 pound Division now i put Heavyweight (MMA) there instead but my Wiki-Stalker removed it anyways i cant revert it back because my stalker will get me banned again for no reason so i guess we wont be arguing about this anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hexenjagd (talk • contribs) 20:02, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

He doesn't compete in the "265" weight class, he competes in the "Heavyweight" weight class. As for your edits being reverted, learn how to WP:CITE reliable sources and you won't have any worries about that. You've been blocked from editing once, as a result, people's level of tolerance with you is going to be reduced. Do everything correctly, you won't have problems. Do things incorrectly, well, you've already seen the results of that. --TreyGeek (talk) 20:16, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Bobcat Stadium

The university website doesn't update their information so its not possible to reference them, but my figure is right. The suites and club seats added 300 and 450 seats, respectably.

Information added to Wikiepedia should cite a reliable source. Without doing so, your edit can be reverted. --TreyGeek (talk) 19:00, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Linking to non-existent articles

Hey there, Trey. I'm not sure why you felt my contributions to the TUF 8 page were unnecessary as all I did was add links for the fighters who were eliminated prior to joining the house. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.80.207.238 (talk) 01:41, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

There is no need to needlessly link to articles for fighters that do not exist and may never exist. In addition, some of the links you created did not go to an MMA fighter of that name. --TreyGeek (talk) 01:43, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

What about the other red-linked name on the page? Like Don House? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.80.207.238 (talk) 01:59, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

User: Paralympiakos

Hello. As I noted that you have previously commented on the talk page of Paralympiakos, I would like to request your assistance before taking this matter to a mediator or administrator. The other day, I made a cleanup edit to the bio page for Aisling Daly to correct a typo, grammar errors, a clear violation of WP:Flags and centred the subject's record table, as has been done with other recent mixed martial artist pages to provide a cleaner look. Paralympiakos has since reverted all edits, despite my attempts at compromise, and seems to be more concerned with wielding power than providing the most accurate and user-friendly article that meets Wikipedia's guidelines. Please provide your opinion on the matter before I take this to mediation. As noted, I attempted to compromise, to no avail. FemaleMMAFan (talk) 01:20, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Wachowskis and a question

I didn't add the information to begin with but I restored when the IP removed it because I mistakenly thought that Lana/Larry had actually publicly come out (I have no idea where I got that from). However, when I double checked the Wachowski brothers' page, I realized that so far, all that is known is that he is cross dressing and going by the name Lana. But that brings me to my question; I noticed in this process that the Rolling Stone link we have as one of the sources for the speculation, an article titled "The Mysteries of Larry Wachowski", is now a dead link. I did some digging to see if I could find an archived version and had no luck. So what should I do with it on the article page? I've seen some people have written "dead link" in the refs on other similar instances but I wasn't sure that was right. Suggestions?

For the record I just think it's nicer to just drop a note on the page of the regulars as opposed to the template, especially when and editor has a decent history. That's always been my interpretation of not templating the regulars, anyway. It's not like I got snotty about it or restored the info after you reverted my revert. But it's all good and I did totally get your point, regardless. Millahnna (mouse)talk 03:46, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I make it no secret that I distrust any IP's edits. In addition, I warn just about anyone the first time for a bad edit, especially people I have no experience with and edits that seems to have no backing such as Larry Wachowski calling himself as "Lana". You ask for a suggestion; mine would be to verify seemingly inaccurate, uncited, and potentially bad (to the extent of a BLP violation) information before reverting to it. As for getting a warning for a bad edit, if your edits are usually good then there are no worries. I do not delete any messages I get, even the bad ones (though I will archive them over time as you can see on my talk page) and do not get offended over receiving a templated warning. I recognize it is quicker/easier for an editor to slap a template on a talk page than to spend time writing an individual message, particularly when doing vandalism checks. --TreyGeek (talk) 04:42, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Good point regarding the templates. It certainly makes it speedy.

Re: Larry; there's plenty of confirmation that he's going by Lana and dressing in the lady clothes (just no official "I'm trans" type of thing) at least some of the time. There's enough refs for that and the Wachowski Brothers article is doing a great job of being neutral on the issue. I'm just wondering what to do about that Rolling Stone ref specifically. It looks like they don't archive their articles online so I can't grab a different link for it. I remember reading the article in the print version so it's a valid reference in the sense that the article really did exist and notes the name/dress change (i.e. it was valid for the sentence it's being used as a ref for). I guess I can just go the "dead link" notation route. I'm usually more of a "does this sentence read ok" editor so I get my head all wound up when I start looking at refs. Millahnna (mouse)talk 04:54, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

I would agree that the Wachowski brothers page does a very good job at being neutral on the subject. When you perform Google searches, "Larry Wachowski" results in 280k hits and "Lana Wachowski" results in 125k hits. While a search for "Larry Wachowski Rolling Stone" produces hits it seems to be a hodge-podge of is he or is she type blog articles. IMO, without a definitive WP:RS the name should remain "Larry" and leave the WP:Speculation and rumor out of Wikipedia and not let the anon IPs have their way. --TreyGeek (talk) 05:15, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
