Boxing/flags

So what happens next? The only thing I can interpret from such an ambiguous 'non-conclusion' is that articles created without flags should stay that way, whereas articles originally created with flags should have them included/reinstated? The sovereign state issue (UK/ENG/SCO/WAL/NI) was also left unsettled. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 22:48, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate I would just let it be. Eventually the MOS you put in place will become definitive. Right now if you force the issue you will just get disruption with no conclusion.Peter Rehse (talk) 22:56, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Getting too old

I think I'm getting too old to edit WP. The number of new editors coming on and making ILIKEIT arguments is getting to me, as is the two IPs who keep wanting to create their own MMA notability criteria. Even the boxing articles are being subjected to editors creating their own notability standards. Papaursa (talk) 02:57, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Papaursa We all are - but be careful on your assumptions. That IP might be older than you.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:27, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Possible, but I doubt there are too many Wikipedians older than I (especially concerning MMA). I remember how proud my university was that they had both an analog and digital computer. My college days predate calculators and I remember programming a computer by manually flipping digital switches. Feel free to comment at the MMA discussions (as well as the boxing and MMA ones at WT:NSPORT). Papaursa (talk) 10:47, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Papaursa And I remember dropping my stack of programming cards and feeling the world had ended. Cheers.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:51, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Shi-Jutsu

Hello PRehse. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Shi-Jutsu, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: article deleted, so A10 no longer applies, Draft should remain in case it can be improved. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 21:55, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I thanked you at Daniel Straus (Disambiguation) - because I thought you had seen it was a letter case D - but you want to move Daniel Straus to that title. Daniel Straus should be moved to Daniel Straus (disambiguation)... Have a nice day Christian75 (talk) 09:53, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

MOS: title ordering

Thought I'd ask you for an opinion on a complex format issue rather than disrupt the lull at Talk:WikiProject Boxing. I've hit a stumbling block regarding the order of titles, which affects three different sections—lead (thereby Professional career as well), Professional boxing record, and Titles in boxing. I cannot decide as to how the main four world titles should be listed, in the case of two or more. There are three solutions, but all come with their own snags:

Alphabetical order – IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO. I don't see much wrong with this, and it seems like a neutral solution.
Establishment order – WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO. This also looks fine to me, and makes just as much sense as alphabetical, but I've seen the occasional editor (especially those with an agenda against a particular sanctioning body) object to it.
Chronological achievement order – This seems like the most neutral solution, but I have seen editors who don't like having the WBO in front of "the original three". Also, if two or more sanctioning body titles are won in the same fight, how should they be ordered? That's where this option falls apart completely.

Then there is the issue of The Ring and lineal titles. I believe quite firmly that, since they are not world title sanctioning bodies, they should go last in any list form, in The Ring/lineal order. As for the IBO, since that is not a "big four" world title, it should go after them, but before The Ring/lineal. Finally, there is the European, Commonwealth and British titles. To me, chronological order of achievement makes the most sense for those, along with the world titles. Thoughts? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 21:46, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate Shrug. I don't think it is worth putting down at least in the foreseeable future. As I said before it is best to let what we have settle and although you don't think there is room for contention there will always be people that make a small thing huge.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:59, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Alrighty, but for the record I am strongly leaning towards sanctioning body establishment order (i.e. WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, IBO) for when it later gets added to the MOS. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 22:44, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

sockpuppet again?

I can't remember the name... A couple of weeks ago, a sockpuppet was creating minor Japanese wrestling articles and they were blocked. WrestlingPS456 came online today with Japanese wrestling articles. I noticed them because they are doing the exact same wrong thing that brought me to the previous sockpuppet's new articles. You know more about the puppet than I do. Bgwhite (talk) 05:17, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes Bgwhite its another manifestation - not sure how to deal with him. Those articles will probably be tagged for deletion because the original (master sock) was banned. For the last rounds I was relying on User:Ribbon Salminen and sure enough he Db-G5'd them.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:02, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Edit summaries for proposed deletions

Hello. I noticed that you have proposed articles for deletion without saying so in the edit summaries. Example: Wáng Xī' An. Per WP:PROD, "Make sure to provide an edit summary that clearly indicates that the article has been proposed for deletion." A simple "PROD" or "BLPPROD" is sufficient. That makes it easier to check whether PROD was previously contested. Thank you for your contributions. • Gene93k (talk) 19:53, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Page For Deletion - Rany Saadeh

Hi Peter, I've noticed you are trying to delete one of my athlete's newly created pages.

Is it really up to you to determine if they are notable enough to deserve a Wiki page? Saying that "they haven't fought in top tier fights" just because you are not familiar with the biggest MMA organization in the UK of which he is a champion? You may have good knowledge of Aikido, but please try stay out of MMA where you are just a fan with a personal opinion.

Notability requirements for MMA (see WP:NMMA is pretty clear with top tier well defined. In this case I just agreed with a nominator on policy. As for staying out of MMA articles - you really should familiarise yourself with what Wikipedia actually is. Lack of Conflict of Interest is encouraged.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:47, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Sam Crossed

I am friends with the professional boxer that this page was created about. Why would you take away the American flag next to his nationality and delete the external links to his Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter page? Other boxers have those on their pages including another boxer I am friends with and created a page for Dusty Hernanez-Harrison, and Sam wanted the same. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wbballplayer13 (talk • contribs) 15:23, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Wbballplayer13 I usually do a running clean-up on newly created boxing articles and that means I sometimes don't put much information in the edit summaries. For the flags see WP:FLAGICON and external links see WP:EL. More specifically on the Boxing Project page there is a Manual of Style. This is extra information which should not be included - just because some other articles do only means that they should also be changed.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:31, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Notability Harold Rogelio Laranang Sr.

I am trying to understand what constitutes notability by Wikipedia standards. Is it the number of schools an instructor opens? How many people his/her style of martial arts has influenced?

The reason for the page was for his students to be able to find information about the man that dedicated his life to the US Military and Martial Arts. I have research papers with discussion from instructors and family members that studied under the man. The page was built based of of some of that information.

I am not going to try and re-create the page but at least I would like to know in more detail what standards need to be met that way I do not go through this again.

Peter, I thought I'd give you and Mdtemp a heads-up that I will be taking a wikibreak until April.

I expanded that article yesterday, but looked at it again and don't feel it needs it's own article. Her biography is well done at List of Power Rangers Dino Charge characters. I don't do a lot of redirects. Would you mind making the changes? Also, I'm not sure how to redirect to the correct section in the target article. Thanks a lot! Magnolia677 (talk) 11:40, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Query

Could you take a look at Zuluzinho? I believe it should be AfDed, but I think someone with more expertise in the field should look at it. By the way, I'm going to notify X4n6 of this query, as the article was largely created by the Bergman SPA sock farm. Also take a look at Michael J. Heming, which I'm less concerned about, but which is unclear regarding amateur vs. pro and other notability issues. Thank you. Softlavender (talk) 07:56, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Softlavender Zuluzinho meets notability standards but I am less sure about Michael J. Heming. I would let them both be.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:23, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I think they're both vanity articles. Virtually no sources for Heming (an IMDB bio?) and nothing I found in a quick search to verify any of his "titles." Also nothing notable about Zuluzinho's record. Just a penchant by someone to have his fight videos plastered all over the net. I'm guessing any local "notability" derives from his father, or his weight - and either of those is more novelty than notability. I'd be curious to know which standard Peter Rehse believes he meets. IMO, I'd support deletion of both if you nom. X4n6 (talk) 09:44, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I see now that Zuluzinho has fought in at least four PRIDE tournaments, which are top-tier WP:MMA tournaments as defined by WP:MMATIER, so he does meet WP:NMMA. -- Softlavender (talk) 09:53, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I saw PRIDE too, but didn't check WP:MMATIER. Just knew it was a defunct org. Notable. So if you verify Heming's championships, maybe he's notable too. X4n6 (talk) 10:15, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

The facts are not checking out so far on Michael J. Heming. Even the location of the European Karate Championships tournament is wrong -- it wasn't in Brussels in either 1979 or 1980. The whole article looks suspect. Also, retired due to illness aged 22, died age 23, so doubtful in my eyes he could have achieved notability (but maybe that's my skewed opinion on age). Softlavender (talk) 10:17, 25 March 2016 (UTC): edited 10:24, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

I AfDed Michael J. Heming. Thanks all. Softlavender (talk) 11:20, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Paul Mormando

I'm back. What do you think of this person's notability? He doesn't appear to be notable as a martial artist and I'm not sure about his acting career (leaning no, but open to convincing). I don't think the listed references make a good case for meeting WP:GNG. A month away from the news, internet, TV, etc. turned out to be quite enjoyable and refreshing.

Mixed martial arts

Hey Peter,
your edits on several category talk pages don't seem all too helpful. Template:WikiProject Mixed martial arts is supposed to automatically detect that it is placed on a category talk page, so there's no point in manually adding "|class=Category", even less so for other projects' badges. Rather Template:WikiProject Mixed martial arts needs to be fixed. If lacking resources, I would suggest turning the whole project into a MMA task force as part of WP:WikiProject Martial arts, see for example the Kickboxing task force.
Regards, PanchoS (talk) 09:02, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Yes but it wasn't doing that mainly because of changes to the category expansion done by someone else. All the changes I did were for articles showing up as unassigned. A manual tag does no harm.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:28, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

Only flagicons remain unresolved, as well as top-level location ("England/Scotland/Wales/Northern Ireland, [UK]", etc.) I haven't been facing much opposition since I stopped overhauling existing records—rather, more so helpful feedback and general consensus on most of it.

Mac Dreamstate Agreed - please go ahead.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:04, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Not sure if it needs to be an RfC, or just let the yay/nae votes trickle in for some time. When it comes to the flags, I might try to invoke MOS:SPORTFLAGS and WP:WORDPRECEDENCE and see if WP's own guidelines can come to the rescue. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 14:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate I see what you mean. Leave the flag issue alone for now - as you say let them trickle in. I think it is a good idea to have all the rest develop some history so that when the flag issue (which does not have to be resolved right away ) gets raised again it does not drag everything else with it. Just yesterday I had my edits reverted against MOS - so I want something rather than more waiting.

Hi, I would like to ask you to take a second look at your edit at this AFD. The last line of text that you added looks unintentional. Perhaps you would like to edit or remove it? AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:16, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Todd Dunphy

Do you think he's notable? I think it depends on those world championship claims. I'm not familiar with that organization, are you? The rest is just rank and hall of fame puffery. The Santa Cruz article seems like a valid source but it's the only one.Mdtemp (talk)

Mdtemp Not at all. There is a lot wrong with the article also - not to mention cringing over the referenced sentinel article (kata is not a martial art). The competitions are not important and are classic so many divisions that they become meaningless - the sentinel reference at least hints at that issue. Anyway - it was on my list to eventually add to AfD, that and the repost for Sam Crossed which I see you got. I was kind of hoping someone else would do the honors.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:00, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

I'll put this one up for AfD.Mdtemp (talk) 17:06, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

What's with the new Combat Hopak article? It was just deleted at AfD and yet has a history going back 5 years. Is it really more notable than it was a week ago? It looks like the Vanilla Gorilla's (nice nickname) article has a fan (something you'd expect from the article's author).Mdtemp (talk) 18:27, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Mdtemp Combat Hopak came to my attention because they were link bombing in everywhere and the article itself only had a link to its web site. It still is in the Martial arts timeline as a significant event in martial arts - not. I don't think they are that notable even now but the new version at least makes a better case. If you watch some of there videos I can guarantee you it is a poor taekwondo nationalist made up - but the question is - is it notable? With respect to the Vanilla Gorilla (cool but not unique) definately a fan boy but I akos think, based on his other articles, is an attempt to push a stable.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:09, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Raymond Weaver

Hi PRehse;

Thanks for your edits at Raymond Weaver in February, and for adding the Project Banners here. I wonder, though, if "start" is too low ("quite incomplete..... might or might not cite adequate reliable sources."), and might possibly be "B" ("The article is mostly complete and without major problems, but requires some further work to reach good article standards.") Since I did much of the work on it, I'd be glad to hear suggestions about what is missing or if there are major problems. Cheers in any case, ch (talk) 04:27, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

ch The article looks good - I don't really put much importance on the quality index but I put it up to C since it clearly moved past Start. If you are interested in further improvement I would suggest submitting it to Peer Review and then going for GA status.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:22, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Many (more) thanks!ch (talk) 15:21, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Asahiyama stable

Hi, I've added some content and more citations to the Asahiyama article that you recently added a helpful edit to. It now has more citations than most sumo stables in the List of sumo stables article and the availability of citations (from different times as well, not all in the same week etc.) enforces it's eligibility no? I think it is bit too much if I make the decision myself and take down the "issues" tag. Could I ask you to take a look and make a decision to keep or take down? Thanks.

Ark Yuey Wong

Is he notable? The article is unsourced and I'm having trouble finding independent coverage.Mdtemp (talk) 14:51, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Mdtemp Reading it there is a lot suspect - Chinese art of Kung Fu (well Kung Fu is a generic term for Chinese martial arts) Master at 19 after a Dragon Dance. I was trying to find a source suspecting it was copy pasted and found https://www.facebook.com/Ark-Yuey-Wong-240015439407163/info/?entry_point=page_nav_about_item&tab=page_info. Problem is I can not decide which was the chicken and which was the egg. So - tag the hell out of it and perhaps let the editor know there is an interest. One would think an original teacher of CMA in the US - would be notable but it would have to be supported.Peter Rehse (talk) 15:11, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Article creator NGK-Lion hasn't edited since 2011. I thought the ages looked suspicious (M at 19,GM at 31?), but being the first (or one of them) to teach CMA in the US would lend support to notability claim. But where are the sources? Since you lived in China I thought you might have heard of him or be able to find some sources or other enlightenment.Mdtemp (talk) 15:18, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

Ryushin Shouchi Ryu Article

Thank you for your suggestions. I am quite new to all this and trying to figure out how it all works. At first glace it seems a bit overwhelming. By any chance would you be able to give me any indication on whether or not my article is going to be approved?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ryushin_Shouchi_Ryu

Thank you for you advice and assistance. Nihon-no-budo (talk) 08:43, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Nihon-no-budo First of all I like the article but please remember there are lots of newly created martial arts that don't pass notability. Shinkendo (mentioned in one of your references) is a good example and the issue there was references. I do not know how good your Japanese is but wikipedia does not require references to be in English. Reading the article it seems to be there must be some sort of non-primary coverage that talks about this new art. That is what the decliner was pointing out and once addressed I am sure it would be accepted.

The other thing is that you keep reverting my commenting out of categories. While your article is in draft space it should not be categorised. There is good reason for that.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:58, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

I see you did. Actually the best way is to put a colon in from of the category as I did so that when it is moved the alteration is easy.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:01, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

PRehse Thank you for your valuable feedback. My Japanese is good enough to perform basic research and translations (I am from Miami, but lived in Japan for a couple of years while I completed my studies at International Budo University). I will continue to look around and see what I can do about adding some Japanese sources. Regarding the categories, I didn't mean to be stubborn, but it appeared that we were both editing at the same time. Either way, as you noted, I've already followed your advice. I appreciate your help with all this.Nihon-no-budo (talk) 13:45, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Nihon-no-budo No sweat - interesting about the International Budo University. Never did visit but they had some programs that I was close to attending - just could not make the time. The article is pretty good and should be up there - again some references that are independent plus some references that show the world wide reach. There are articles that have far less and still exist but what can you do. I was also interested to read that the school existed from the 60s (not sure if that is correct) but that would help with respect to the new school issue.Peter Rehse (talk) 13:54, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

PRehse, Thank you for your suggestions and support. Regarding the International Budo University, they are open to receive visitors year-round and offer accommodations at the school dorm at very reasonable rate. The history of Ryushin Shouchi Ryu is quite interesting, however, Yahagi Soke, prefers not have certain details outlined do to some disputes they had with the Tenshinsho Jigen Ryu group. The article as it stands is based on research that I did and was approved by Yahagi Soke himself. So yes, their dojo was established in the 60's under the Tenshinsho Jigen Ryu banner. When the current Tenshinsho Jigen Ryu soke became of age to take over the system after his father died arguments occurred. This led to the school becoming divided into two groups and left the Ryushin Shouchi Ryu with little historical lineage to fallback on. I have plenty of photos and videos that provide evidence that there once was a very close relationship, however, after the falling out neither one of them wishes to share this information. The only true evidence that shows this link is a lineage chart found on the Tenshinsho Jigen Ryu website which depicts the Ryushin Shouchi Ryu stemming from their system along with 4 or 5 other schools. Nihon-no-budo (talk) 19:22, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Nihon-no-budo Too late for me - I was teaching Aikido in Himeji for several years about 10 years ago but now 1000s of miles away. I know it is tough to work around politics - there is the expectations of wikipedia and the various parties involved. Anyway - see if you can bump up the references and I will try and help guide it in. Please remember that wikipedia is not supposed to be a front for any organization so if it gets put up - control is lost.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:29, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

PRehse, That must of been a great experience! I will do my best to bump up the references. As for if it gets up, I totally understand that it could become a free-for-all since its an open forum. I just want to make sure that what I post is acceptable by both parties involved. Thank you for your help in all of this. Nihon-no-budo (talk) 20:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

PRehse, Thank you for your help with my other articles. Its been quite an experience in learning how all this works, but I think I might be getting the hang of it. I have two questions for you. I have found dependable resources that will allow me to write the correct history of the Tenshinsho Jigen Ryu, how much of the article can I edit? Second, After I moved the Ryushin Shouchi Ryu Draft to the article space it was quickly moved back to the drafts space, what more can I do, other than wait, to get my article approved. It appears that the other articles, including the one I did on a living Japanese artist Nakajima Hiroyuki, were approved quite quickly. Thank you for your time and consideration. Nihon-no-budo (talk) 16:10, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Nihon-no-budo First of all you don't have to ping me if you post on my talk page - I will see it no matter. When I put your name on my talk page it is so that you know there is something for you there. For the Tenshin article nobody owns it so you are welcome to edit to your heart's content. The hope is that any factual changes are backed up with references and perhaps another editor will disagree - you take your chances. I was surprised that your (in the global sense) article was returned to Draft space - I actually left a message the that talk page of the editor that did it. The reversal surprised me but I guess in the end just submit and wait. In the mean time - if you find more and better references - add them. I do believe that submitting through Draft space is the more difficult option but it does serve the function of stronger articles entering article space.Peter Rehse (talk) 16:44, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Dear Peter, Thank you for your help and suggestions. I just read the note you left on the reviewer's talk page and I see that he has not responded yet. I am not too sure how this article wound up going through the drafts space, perhaps because there have been attempts in the past to submit articles about this particular school. I any case I will continue to wait to see what happens. Hopefully there will a positive result soon. I will continue to work on my smaller articles (stubs) as well as begin edits on the Jigen and Tenshisho articles as they both contain information that are not properly referenced and facts that are incorrect.

Boxing record tables.. a twist in the tale

An editor knowledgeable about table usage on WP recently made several edits like this, which (after some initial confusion on my part) made me completely re-think how I've gone about the tables. Apparently, customising them on a per-article basis is not best practice and goes against WP:ACCESS. All this time, I've been doing it wrong.. ach. But fair enough, I like a challenge—what's a few bumps in the road before attaining perfection?

So I went back to the previously-unused Template:Professional boxing record start and did some tweaking. Now it looks more or less like Template:MMA record start with a few minor differences (I tried separating round and time, but it looked weird having a blank space for decisions). As an experiment, I edited one table for a former boxer and here's how it looks.

As you can see, it looks almost identical to MMA, but radically different to the standardised one I've been pushing for the past year. In some ways I like it—the sortable function was something I was always keen on—yet on the other hand it'll be mighty laborious to do all that converting again with the many articles I've already overhauled. Plus, the top row with fight stats is gone. No idea how to work that into a table.

The way I see it, I have three options: 1. Stick with the current per-article table which several editors seem OK with, but risk getting deeper into non-WP:ACCESS territory; 2. Accept the changes by the aforementioned user who knows more than me when it comes to tables, and try to slowly apply their advice across other articles, but still run foul of WP:ACCESS; 3. Be bold (just like before), do a U-turn, and start a slow migration to the new template, to ensure that I am in line with WP:ACCESS whenever the MOS goes through.

I'm inclined towards 3, since the MOS was mainly about covering weight classes and other such formats, and that's more or less in the bag. I don't expect much protesting on that part anymore, besides maybe some childish rants about how lineal titles are formatted. The record tables were always secondary for me, and I merely adopted that task (and the flags) as I went along. If this change means more delay, I really don't mind. My thing is about keeping all bases covered, and this WP:ACCESS thing was a big oversight on my part.

Advice? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 22:25, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate Its hard for me to see any real difference between the different formats. I like the Fight Stats on the top row. It is unclear how the two table formats that you say go against WP:ACCESS do go against it. How does 2 run afoul of WP:ACCESS?Peter Rehse (talk) 23:10, 9 July 2016 (UTC)

Apparently "the use of bold markup and colouring instead of standard table headings violates WP:ACCESSIBILITY standards", and that I "should avoid adding spurious styling to tables". Just quoting what I've been advised. I think what goes against WP:ACCESS is the fight stats being force-formatted in bold/plain, and the use of different colouring for the column headings. Not a good thing, supposedly. Admittedly, to me that's a load of crap and the table looks unsightly without them, but if WP says it's bad... So what I'm faced with is either going along with that; or continuing to push my original one (and risk those getting an WP:ACCESS-compliant "makeover" as well); or bring in the template which would make them look closer to their MMA counterparts. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 00:26, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

Aaaaand #2 is what I've decided to go with. I weighed it up and figured that it'll make for minimal fuss, and it's just the simplest option—a pain-free conversion from s-start to wikitable. Guess I had one of my 'ambitious' moments with matching the MMA table, but then I was able to imagine other editors' shock at seeing that all of a sudden. Maybe some will still take exception to the lack of centre-alignment and grey column headings, but if that's how WP:TABLE works, then that's how it works. And if a teeny bit of boldface on the fight stats row isn't the best idea... well, screw it, I'm putting it there anyway. Having now replicated what the aforementioned editor did with the other article, does this look OK to you? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 00:12, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Help on Kunlun Fight?

Hi

I while ago I presented the case on the kickboxing task force page that Kunlun Fight should have it's on page and you among others generally agreed.

I made the page Draft:Kunlun_Fight and some other people pitched into it too. The other people also went ahead and made 2014 in Kunlun Fight and 2015 in Kunlun Fight which I wouldn't have personally made at least before the main article was accepted but that's out of my hands.

Anyway the draft has been waiting to be approved for a while and now, I'm sure a well meaning person, is telling me that perhaps the main article shouldn't be made but that the 2014, 2015 in Kunlun Fight kind of pages are fine without the main article. Which, as I'm sure you understand, makes no sense. If there's anything you can do to help I'd appreciate it.

Marc Diakiese Page

You have said that the MMA Fighter, Marc Diakiese, who I made a page is a non-notable athlete. You said that getting signed to the UFC is not enough to be a notable athlete but you have not acknowledged this athletes other achievements, I will now explain why I believe his other achievements do make him a notable athlete. Firstly, this athlete was a title holder in BAMMA, which is the largest European MMA promotion. Secondly, as well as being a title holder in BAMMA he also fought a large majority of his professional fights with the promotion. Thirdly, you spoke about this athlete as if he is a fresh unproven fighter even though he has 9 professional fights so far and has won every single one of his fights. Finally, there have been many news reports about this athletes MMA fights on many major news sites, which has probably also gained him much notoriety. I believe due to all of these reasons Marc Diakiese is a notable athlete and the page I created about him should not be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kubus18 (talk • contribs) 19:01, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Book Promo Bombing

Hi @PRehse:,

I'm pretty new to the Wikipedia experience and I wanted to contribute by adding some books I've read on these subjects.

On the German Wikipedia (here) I was explained how and when to ad "Further reading" correctly.

Kind regards,

--Wim Le Petit Prince (talk) 08:48, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

@Wim Le Petit Prince: Fair enough - but it had the appearance of promoting the author rather than adding to the subject. I actually like the series but putting them everywhere there is even a tenuous connection goes against what wikipedia is about. You might notice that I did not revert all additions.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:07, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

@PRehse: Yes, I did notice that. Promoting one author was not the objective. I was actually about to add more books and links to articles from authors like Donn F. Draeger, David Hall, Meik and Diane Skoss, Dave Lowry, Karl Friday, Ellis Amdur, Hunter Armstrong, Thomas Cleary, Antony Cummins, ... before my contributions were removed and I was explained how to proceed on this in the future. I'm learning the hard way.

@Wim Le Petit Prince: The better way is to insert the books as part of a reference - connected to a fact. Further reading should be used sparsely and tends to be abused by book promotions - hence the quick reaction. Wikipedia is not the place for book recommendations but I understand the desire - like I said I like his books.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:39, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Is it okay that he didn't notify on my talk page? I actually don't understand how she fails WP:GNG according to the reasons I mentioned in that AFD. Let it be moved from the mainspace to my userspace draft.

I am new to Wikipedia.. I have seen you have undone my edits on Valentine Slavikovski page, particularly, internal links and a change to a name of the "Soviet Wings Sport Palace". What have I done wrong with it? here are details:

many thanks regards, Stepka o Stepka o (talk) 21:36, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

@Stepka o: It was for WP:OVERLINKING. Basically put in internal links only once per article and no need to link common countries like America etc. Soviet Wings Sports Palace is ok.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:56, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

@PRehse:Thank you for your answer. I didn't know about overlinking / or missed this. Now linked back the Sport Palace. Stepka o (talk) 11:21, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

comment

I think dealing with a generation of people who haven't been told "no" enough times and feel like everything should be to please them has gotten to me. OK--that's a generalization but I have had it with sore losers who seek to blame others for their results. Another generalization, but I'm frustrated which is why I've been cutting back on my WP usage. Perhaps it's time to just quit--that would make some happy. Sorry, Peter--just venting. Papaursa (talk) 04:13, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

@Papaursa: Laughs - well you never know the current incarnation may be of our generation but I get it. I saw that early and spent days trying to avoid saying something. In the end I was dragged in not necessarily by the accusation but the inuendo. I said my piece and feel better for it.Peter Rehse (talk) 08:21, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

I've just made what may be my final edit on WP, at least if Marvellous Spider-Man has his way. It would be a miscarriage of justice, but those things happen. If so, I want to tell you it's been a pleasure dealing with you and trying to help clean up, at least on WP, the mess that is martial arts. Papaursa (talk) 00:08, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

@Papaursa: Oh ye of little faith - I don't think anything will come of it and it is the nature of the beast that every now and then you get the righteous cop wanna be. Looking at his edits in general that's what I'm seeing.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:14, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

My real life has been very stressful lately, lowering my desire to do much of anything besides what I have to. I want WP to be a diversion, not a stress inducer. Papaursa (talk) 00:30, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

We can take this off-line if you want but I hear you. I also have real world stress and have been using WP perhaps too much as a diversion to the point where your past dark escape seemed the smart thing to do. I might start my own next week to get out of the WP rut (or at least a shallower one). WP should be a pleasure not a further burden and annoying little (insert suitable explective) do not make it easier.Peter Rehse (talk) 07:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion alerts

Don't forget to alert users to speedy deletions - the "but I have secret permission to violate this copyright" timewasting at Talk:Arakan (martial art) could (hopefully) have been avoided if you'd given the user the boilerplate "don't use copyrighted text, if it's yours then read WP:COPYREQ" alert template. --McGeddon (talk) 09:17, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Edit summaries

You have been asked before, but can you please start using edit summaries. It is particularly important when nominating articles for deletion. Thanks. --Michig (talk) 14:46, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

MOS:BOX

Greetings amidst the sweltering heat of England. It's been more than three months and there remains no vocal opposition or feedback on the MOS—neither on Talk:WikiProject Boxing nor bio articles. I decided to be extra-bold and just whizz around a shitload of articles, converting them all to wikitable, and adding the summary box (which was my homage to the MMA records). Almost as if to saturation-bomb as many of them as possible, to make it appear as though it's "the thing to do now". Sneaky, but hey—the lack of resistance says it all.

With that said, it's absolutely ready to be put in place on the Project page; set in stone; made final; bang the gavel—the works. What exactly is the process for that? If it's based on garnering support/oppose votes at WPBoxing, then that's a dead end. Nobody there has chimed in whatsoever after the flags debate dust settled, despite being given multiple opportunities during my running updates (if they didn't keep Talk:WPBoxing on their watchlists, then tough). I'm even willing to forego the flags crux for a while longer and simply add a small guideline on their usage, as long as the rest of the MOS is incontestably in place.

Or, am I to understand that if there is no community-wide feedback on a bid for consensus (i.e., silence), then it cannot be put in place at all? A failed motion, basically. I keep reading over the history of how MOS:MMA came about in 2011–12, and my goodness it looks like a battlefield. Users like this, this, this, and this make me wary of types like those who are ready to collectively craw out of the woodwork and make comments like "It's not policy, it's a guideline set by some deluded individual who thought that 2 or 3 people formed a consensus, when the clear majority disagreed."

Either way, would you say that WP:PROPOSAL should be my next step? It still irks me a bit that the last RfC mainly attracted those only interested in the flags, and not on the wider scale of the MOS—they just upped and left after the no-consensus on those. Therefore it seems as though this needs input from elsewhere than just WPBoxing, as this community is simply not active enough despite what the participants list indicates. There's only you, me, and maybe one or two other editors I could dredge up, which cannot possibly fulfil consensus on an MOS that looks to cover thousands of articles. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:05, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate I have escaped to the swealtering heat of Germany with only the occasional foray into Wikipedia. Listen no one can say that consensus was not built and frankly I think enough has been done. There is no need for proposal just put any finishing touches you feel is necessary. The big issue is flags. I think I mentioned it before but I would leave that alone for a good long time and allow the remainder of the MOS to gather some dust.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:44, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

It's about as ready as I can ever make it. I can keep tweaking bits of it to my heart's content, but now it's time to "Let It Go" (*puke* at that song, although it always makes for a good reference). If anyone happens to get antsy about why flag usage isn't included, I'll just pull up the RfC whilst invoking WP:NOCONSENSUS and WP:WORDPRECEDENCE (as in, "Consistency is not paramount"; articles without flags originally shouldn't have them inserted, and vice versa). The main thing I learned from last year is to not go around removing existing flags for the time being, but at the same time I sure as hell am not letting them be added to articles that I've created. I don't feel that's a case of WP:OWN—just an adherence to WP guidelines.

Nonetheless, if you're sure. The pessimist/WP realist in me still keeps imagining someone like this fellow barging back in and saying "Yo, what consensus? I didn't agree to nothin'. You ain't no damn admin." All it takes is someone like that, plus an ensuing edit war, and the whole thing could unravel in a heap when I try to prove to admins or whoever that consensus was sought and silently agreed upon, when all I had was silence. I wouldn't even know where to go with that—WP:EW, WP:DR, etc. Or, is it just something that will need tackling only if/when it happens? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 14:15, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate Go for it. Now or later those people will still exist. Best we can do is toss out the bone and fend off the dogs. In a few days I can watch/support better.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:10, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Right. Should it go on the main WPBoxing page as a {{main article}} link, under its own section? It's too large to paste there in its entirety (unlike MOS:MMA), but it also needs a high level of visibility so that it can be easily referred to or studied by those interested in the project. In a section near the top, immediately under Scope, perhaps? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:16, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Mac Dreamstate No idea - I thought in the info box was OK but ...Peter Rehse (talk) 17:01, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Well, it's done now. Take a looksie, or via the shortcuts MOS:BOXING and WP:BOXING/MOS. I also put in shortcuts for the various sections that'll no doubt be needed when referring editors to them, such as MOS:BOXING/INFOBOX, MOS:BOXING/RECORD, etc. After nearly two years, it's been about damn time! So hopefully, if edit wars arise in which some user disagrees with something, I can go straight to WP:EWN and they'll see that I've at least made an effort this whole time. Granted, it may create the need for yet more wrangling at Talk:WPBoxing—including RfCs—but it's not as though I haven't opened the floor for feedback before. Any users who've complained hardly ever hang around to see it through, whereas I'm still at it.

Above all, I'd like to thank you for having the patience in dealing with me and my whining, sulking and trigger-happy editing, and the advice dished out in keeping me in check. By no means would I have been able to stick with it on my own without the encouragement. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:14, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Incorrect edit

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that this edit was not ok. First, you removed a valid red link. William Kendall was notable for swimming through the rapids, so it's fine to red link him. Secondly, you actually changed the quote, which was "...farther than Kendall did." The "William" was in square brackets because it wasn't part of the original quote.

Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie

I have declined your copyvio speedy because the source (Wikia) is CC-BY-SA licensed. At the 2014 AfD this was thought to be just rumour and fancruft, but it now seems from IMDb that it's real. JohnCD (talk) 11:41, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

A heads up

I just created a Boxing deletion sorting page after consulting with an administrator. We both thought it would be helpful when Boxing related AFDs occur. After doing this, I linked the Ali vs Bonavena AFD to the Boxing deletion sorting page rather than Martial arts. You did that edit and I hope you don't mind. Cheers!...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 14:17, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

@WilliamJE: I was just thinking that was a good idea. I will add the other current boxing AfDs to that list while keeping them on the MA list also for now since there are people who do watch the list itself for current changes. New ones should only be on the boxing list.Peter Rehse (talk) 14:36, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Regarding the suggested deletion of Qwan-Ki-Do

Hello sir,

Could you please share some light on why you requested the English version article on Qwan Ki Do to be deleted? I'd be very happy to understand the problem since I cannot find the previously deleted page. I believe that this article is informative and since it is derived from previous Wiki articles -- the content is already peer-reviewed.

Thank you for your consideration to lift the request.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Qwan Ki Do, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Striking. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

User group: New Page Reviewr

Hello PRehse.

Based on the patrols you made of new pages during a qualifying period in 2016, your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group, allowing you to review new pages and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or in some cases, tag them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed.

New page reviewing is a vital function for policing the quality of the encylopedia, if you have not already done so, you must read the new tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the various deletion criteria. If you need more help or wish to discuss the process, please join or start a thread at page reviewer talk.

Be nice to new users - they are often not aware of doing anything wrong.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted - be formal and polite in your approach to them too, even if they are not.
Don't review a page if you are not sure what to do. Just leave it for another reviewer.
Remember that quality is quintessential to good patrolling. Take your time to patrol each article, there is no rush. Use the message feature and offer basic advice.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In case of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, the right can be revoked at any time by an administrator. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

WP DAB banner

Hi, there's generally no need to create new talk pages containing only the {{WikiProject Disambiguation}} banner. There was a discussion about that recently: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Disambiguation/Archive_41#WikiProject_Disambiguation_banner_discouraged_on_discussionless_pages?. Of course, you're welcome to put the banner on already existing talk pages – for example if they have other content (discussions, prod notices etc.), or if they're redirect remnants of page moves. – Uanfala (talk) 21:12, 31 October 2016 (UTC)

New Page Review - newsletter

Hello PRehse,

Breaking the back of the backlog

We now have 811 New Page Reviewers! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog. Now it's time for action.

If each reviewer does only 10 reviews a day over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by each reviewer doing only 2 or 3 reviews a day - that's about 5 minutes work!
Let's get that over and done with in time to relax for the holidays.

Second set of eyes

Not only are New Page Reviewers the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work. Read about it at the new Monitoring the system section in the tutorial.

misc. comments

The Michael McCavish article is another example of WP notability being different from the generally accepted notion of notability. I have seen this with other martial arts articles about martial artists who were internationally known yet didn't have significant independent coverage. I've had to vote to delete people I know were well known in the MA community, some of whom I've even judged with, but who didn't meet WP:GNG. On a different matter, I also don't believe Mdtemp was a sock of Astudent0. I miss his finding of MA articles for AfD. Papaursa (talk) 18:55, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Papaursa Yes I understand that and also think Mdtemp got shafted.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:33, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

If you and Papaursa are interested, there is some discussion about the case on Ivanvector's talk page.

Hi PRehse you pointed me in direction of notability in boxing...my subject is a pro boxer but isn't just a boxer. It's just one part of the article. Can you advise how to get this piece approved? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blanky34 (talk • contribs) 17:16, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Blanky34 The best way is to go via WP:AfC - just follow the steps. When you submit it - if it is rejected - they usually tell you what is missing allowing you more time to work on it. On the Boxing Project page there is a Manual of Style. Take a look at that but the easiest way is to copy an example boxer page into your draft article and modify from their.

Speedy deletion declined: Parnia Porsche

Hello PRehse, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Parnia Porsche, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article is not substantially identical to the August version as it includes a claim to have won a boxing contest in Nov 2016.

Bahanaga

Hi PRehse - I've just spent hours working on this article to bring it up to encyclopedic standard, deleting the "multiple issues" as I went. The last tag I removed was the "orphan" tag, and you have just reverted it. Did I miss something? Please explain why the "orphan" tag should remain on the page. Thanks Mark^Dask 20:20, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

markdask Because it is still an orphan - no other articles link to it. Like I explained in the edit summary in the Left Margin under Tools - click on what links here. You can see no articles listed.Peter Rehse (talk) 20:22, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Ooh right - just read your edit comment - will read up on the matter but your explanation would nevertheless be useful Mark^Dask 20:25, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Erm - indulge me here Peter - I thought wikilinks were links to other pages, and I've been on here nine years, (small editcount notwithstanding). Could you perhaps demonstrate under the "What Links Here" heading - show me how that works - literally link the page to another. Gratefully. Mark^Dask 20:37, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

markdask I will resist the temptation to be facetious.;D What is normally done when a new article is created is to do a search where it could show up elsewhere. When I did that I found Bahanaga in the Balasore article and added wikilinks into that article. There is apparently a tool for that but I never used it. Did you find the What links here link in the left margin?Peter Rehse (talk) 20:51, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Lol now I get it - on the list shown under "what links here" I simply go to those articles and double bracket there - is that it??? I swear I never knew that, but then I aint been on here for a while so have forgotten much. Thanks. Mark^Dask 20:59, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

markdask Well if it shows up on that list then it already is double bracketed. If no articles are in the list than the article is an orphan. So at the moment Bahanaga is no longer an orphan.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:03, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

C quality rating?

G'day! It looks like you reviewed Larry Donovan and gave it a C quality rating for Wikiproject Biography. I'm a little surprised that my 60 references only earnt "Useful to a casual reader, but would not provide a complete picture for even a moderately detailed study." Was this a considered opinion, or just some kind of default rating?

Just curious more than anything. Thanks. Stevage 10:04, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Stevage Well there are 6 references not 60 and the article is fairly short. There is not the level of detail that warrants a B class.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:38, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry, wrong link :) Larry Donovan (bridge jumper). Stevage 00:11, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

So I went digging. When I gave the rating the article was far less developed than now. There were 24 references and it looks like there were sections that were under referenced. That said when I did it the article was not rated and my usual practice is to assign C if the article is on its way to B - I tend to shy away from B as a first rating. The article is far better than when I have the rating and if these things interest you I would suggest submitting it to Peer Review and begin the process to get it to GA status. Or you could just change the rating yourself.Peter Rehse (talk) 09:14, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Ah, makes sense. I developed most of it in a pretty short period of time so didn't think of that possibility. I'll bump it to B for now. Pretty hard to be objective when rating your own articles though. Stevage 23:30, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Kelli Presley review

Greetings, first of all thank you for reviewing the article Kelli Presley :D. I can understand why it got a Start-class rating. I was just wondering, if you have the time of course, how would you suggest I change her biography section to improve it? I'm thinking that it might be too detailed but I'd like a second opinion. On a similar note, what else would I need to change/add to bump the rating up to at least a C? --PanagiotisZois (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

It sound rude but I am thinking why you keep delete what i have created which those hall information and history are very important and supposed to be updated every year? Is there anything wrong ? There are article of another hall. Why u only delete mine.....

Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lee Hysan Hall (2nd nomination). It was discussed twice and each time the consensus was the same. The article is supposed to be Redirected.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:36, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. Is it possible to republish the article after modification to make the article much less promotional and remove all 'absurd detail' . I am not familiar with wiki so i did not join the discussion but i doubt that a 'not notable hall' with its own history (25 years) shouldn't have its own article. I agree that some information is unecessary. 202.155.194.50 (talk) 19:37, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

The best way is for you to create an account and then move the information into its sandbox (what that is will be obvious once you create the account). Then you can work on it all you want. After 2 AfDs you will need to go through the Article for Creation process if you have any hope for the article to remain. Also I looked at the article and it is not so much the information which is a problem but lack of third party references which show why the hall is notable.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:54, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I'm about to retire from editing, but I was going to be bold and give this article I just created a B rating. Do you think a C rating is more appropriate? You don't have to read the whole thing. A quick glance would do. Anything I could do for you in return? -- James26 (talk) 04:29, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

James26 Its nicely done but usually I am loath to assign B to a newly created article - I think B is something you grow into. I assigned it C but feel free to upgrade it in a month or so.Peter Rehse (talk) 10:06, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! -- James26 (talk) 18:09, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi PRehse, hope you didn't mind my question at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tajamul Islam, i just wanted to emphasise the importance of the list of kb orgs at WP:NKICK.

A Recent Redirect of Ethel & Ernest Page

You recently redirected the page "Ethel & Ernest" to "Ethel and Ernest" but I fear you might have redirected it in the wrong direction. I have evidence which I pointed out on the page Talk section. I am sorry I messed up my original coding of the redirect, I've never tried to do that before. I don't know if there is a way to edit the title of a page or if a full redirect is necessary? ≈ Seraph 22:50, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

Seraph 31 I was trying for a page deletion followed by the correct move. Someone else interfered - I will try again.Peter Rehse (talk) 22:55, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

PRehse, now it has been deleted how do we go about changing the title of the original page and/or redirect it to the ampersand? ≈ Seraph 03:36, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Seraph 31 Done. There is a page move function at the top right of an article page.Peter Rehse (talk) 05:08, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

PRehse, I've seen that button but didn't know what it did. Thanx. ≈ Seraph 07:34, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

I really need help on DisneyCarToys page please?

Happy New Year, PRehse!
