WP:MMA

Thanks for helping to make MMA articles on wikipedia better! In September 168 people made a total of 956 edits to MMA articles. I noticed you haven't listed yourself on the WikiProject Mixed martial arts Participants page. Take a look, sign up, and don't forget to say hi on the talk page.

Your recent edits

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 03:43, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

OK, cool. Wasn't sure how to do that.

Verifiability

Hello. I see you know a lot about submission and moves used in MMA fights. I agree with everything you say. But Misplaced Pages is not original research, is about verifiability. If a reliable source says it was an Americana, put americana. Thanks for your edits.

That isn't a problem. The same person giving me a hard time about that didn't seem to care that somebody else was changing rear naked choke to a neck crank. It was almost as if he was hating on me or being BJJ biased.

Fixing damage from vandals

I'm looking for an easier way to revert back to the original edits to fix vandal edits if anybody can fill me in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willdawg111 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 10 November 2012‎ (UTC)

When editing MMA event articles, like UFC 154, please make sure the results table follow the same design as other events. Look at UFC 153 for instance. Your edits changed the column of judge scores, and those edits were reverted I think. Click "View history" on the article to see more info. Anyway, thanks for contributing to the MMA project!

I see the what you are talking about. That will make it easier to undo the vandalsim to my work. Thank you very much.

I feel you

Yeah I feel you. All we can do is protect our favorites. I've been sprucing up the WFA king of the streets aricle on here for the day it gets an AFD. What do you think WFA:_King_of_the_Streets? Eh, and at least Imperial Athletics is here to stay! they had articles on Sherdog I remember reading. I'd be shocked if they got that one. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 09:23, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I would say with the notariety of some of the guys fighitng on that card, it really needs to stay. It might be worth considering putting all 4 of the events they held onto a single page like we do with the Bellator season. The Imperial Athletics was actually on the list to be done for awhile, so I took it upon myself to tackle it. One of my biggest issues is it seems like there are primarily 2 guys who go around trying to change up other people's work and trying to get things deleted. I was on Sherdogg looking around and they had a couple threads started absolutely trashing these 2 guys. They were being brutal, even putting up pictures of homer simpson saying they had to be a couple guys sitting around with nothing else to do. If that many people from the MMA community use these articles, I think we need to work on making them better and not trying to delete everthing. Willdawg111 (talk) 12:27, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages has policies and guidelines and all articles within must meet them. The main concern in the MMA biographical articles is WP:NMMA. This is the main standard that all MMA fighters articles should meet. So, before making an article about a fighter, check out that guideline and WP:GNG. I can give an example of what is happening to me now: Brock Jardine was an article created by me and now is up to AfD. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet the criteria now, but i plan to restore it (per WP:REFUND) if it meets WP:NMMA later. So, don't worry about articles being deleted, since they can be restored (you may also wish to read: Misplaced Pages:Too soon and Misplaced Pages:Recentism).

Thanks for the info. I'll check those out and if it helps out any, I was already in the discussion log for the deletion of your article voicing my opinion as to why it should be kept. Willdawg111 (talk) 16:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
