What about Mariya Agapova
Mariya Agapova has fought twice in Invicta fc and once in the UFC. So that should make her notable for an article to be created. Dwanyewest (talk) 02:47, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- Dwanyewest G'day. Thank you for informing. Will create asap. Appreciate you always focus on female mma articles in Wikipedia which they are well-deserved to have the attention. Thank you. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 03:14, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- I forgot to mention yesterday that Shana Dobson needs an article. As she has fought 3 times in the UFC. Dwanyewest (talk) 14:40, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- Dwanyewest OK, will do it this weekend as I have limited of free time this year as per last year. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:35, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Dwanyewest, Hi, Shana Dobson - Done. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 07:14, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
Terrion Ware is another MMA fighter who has had 3 fights with the UFC in need of an article. Dwanyewest (talk) 09:03, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
CVUA
Hello!
I would like to join the CVUA with you as my trainer. I already have some counter-vandalism experience under my belt, but I want to maximise my productivity and learn how to use tools such as WikiLoop Battlefield in conjunction with my current methods. If you agree then give me a honk on my talk page! SuperGoose007 (Honk!) 16:20, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Never mind, I think I have enough experience now. SuperGoose007 (Honk!) 01:51, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Someone has made same wikipedia page as I have
- Hello Cassiopeia. I'm currently having an issue I created a fighter page for Charles jourdain right after his fight someone at obviously broken the rules and made one prior because it forced mine on to the name of fighter when I never added it so we obviously made it before it was allowed to be made and had to delete it either way I'm not trying to be a dick by saying this but mine is much better than it is much better referenced do I try to get it deleted or do we just duke it out. I upload the links to may page to most of the pages so his is just sitting there!Tsims23 (talk) 14:45, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
- Tsims23 Good day and I saw. The editor created the page one minute before yours - see this vs yours. One of the page could be deleted under Wikipedia guidelines. As the common name for Jourdain is "Charles Jourdain" and the page is about the same subject, I have tagged merge (yours into Charles Jourdain - meaning, content to to merge and added with more info which is supported by source if the destination page ("charles jourdain") was lack of the info. I suggest you to draft out the page in draft page and ping me when you have done and give me the link. I also update the fighter page during the event, so once the fighters have stepped into the octagon and the referee has initiated the fight, I would reveiwed the page for you and place it in the main space. I will add the fight content and the source as well. Tanner Boser is scheduled for his third UFC fight on June 27, 2020. You would start drafting the page. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:25, 15 June 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Cassiopeia i have finally completed the article merger of Charles Jourdain I've combined our info into one using some of his ref and some of mine, and have uploaded the complete page however could you please delete the Charles Jourdain (Fighter) page i am not able too there is not option in the "more" tab. and i already have tanner bosers article ready and waiting should i upload as draft or just wait?Tsims23 (talk) 22:24, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- say if I did want to upload it as a draft how would I do that I don't want to accidentally upload it for realTsims23 (talk) 23:22, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
- Tsims23 good day. A typical lenght of merge discussion would stay in the talk page for at least 7 days if there is no more further discussion, then an univolved editor can close the merge. Once the merge discussion is closed then the "merge from" article,in this case is Charles Jourdain (Fighter) content will be moved to destination page, Charles Jourdain and Charles Jourdain (Fighter) will be deleted. I have reverted your merge edits and got another uninvolved editor to close the merge which should be done in next two day. Once the merge is close you can copy your edits from the history page of the Charles Jourdain and paste the merge content back into the page.
- As for Tanner Boser, pls click Draft:Tanner Boser and add all the content+sources in the page. Pls add ":" in front of the all Category section. Once you have done it then let me know. I will review add the final source (fight result) and place it on the Wikipedia mainspace once Tanner Boser has fought at UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker this weekend as I always update and add sources to fighters and related UFC event pages during the fights. Stay safe and thank you so much for your contribution. Cassiopeia(talk) 02:55, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- Tsims23 Hi, the merge discussion has been closed (result merge). You can copy and paste back your edits into Charles Jourdain now. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk)

NBC — Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:|Leesaaisath]] (talk • contribs) 21:59, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
- Leesaaisath Greetings. As per the current content and sources, the subject is not notable and the souses do not talk about him in length and in dept, for such it would mostly be nominated for deletion. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:21, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thank a lot :-)
- I also have another question. I am interested in writing about people and places in Maldives. Many have very few english articles but a lot of articles from the major local news sites in maldives like mihaaru, raajje.mv and sun.mv, which is in dhivehi language (maldives national language). For example that person has many local language articles. Can you teach me how to reference them, and are they useful in sourcing?
- Below is an article I made with reseach for the past few days and put one news reference from local news source.
- advice please.
- Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leesaaisath (talk • contribs) 10:29, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

- Query examples:
- Apologies for both of the problematic queries ("MWAPI searches in wikidata about people described as slave traders by citizenship" in Weekly Summary #419 and "Monuments named after/commemorating/depicting slave traders” in Weekly Summary #420). The "MWAPI searches in wikidata about people described as slave traders by citizenship” in #419 lists any people with the word "slave" in a label, description or alias, among them several people who are not slave traders. The "Monuments named after/commemorating/depicting slave traders” in #420 incorrectly linked this query for enslaved people instead of this query for slavetraders.

Problems
- There are some new tools to make it easier for newcomers to start editing. They are available on some wikis. These wikis had a problem with the visual editor for a short period of time last week. This was because of a bug in the new tools. It was soon fixed. [1]
- Some user scripts and gadgets stopped working because of a change to CSS selectors.
.vectorTabs
should be replaced with.vector-menu-tabs
to fix this. [2]
Changes later this week
- The developers are working on a new interface to solve edit conflicts on talk pages. This will be released on 24 June. You can give feedback. [3]
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 23 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 24 June. It will be on all wikis from 25 June (calendar).
Future changes
- A temporary fix helped wikis make their main pages more mobile friendly. This was in 2012. It has not been recommended since 2017. It will not work after 13 July. Wikis should use TemplateStyles instead. 91 wikis still need to fix this. You can read more and see if your wiki is affected. [4]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Problems
- Everyone was logged out. This was because a few users saw the wikis as if they were logged in to someone else's account. The problem should be fixed now. [5]
- Some readers didn't see new edits to pages. If the page had been recently changed they saw an older version of the page instead. This only affected readers who were logged out. It lasted for ten days. It has been fixed. [6]
Changes later this week
- The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 30 June. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 1 July. It will be on all wikis from 1 July (calendar).
Future changes
- The Modern and Monobook skins use the ID
searchGoButton
for the go button. This issearchButton
for Vector. To have the same ID for all skins it will change tosearchButton
in Monobook and Modern too. This will affect gadgets and user scripts. It will happen on 23 July. They should be updated to usesearchButton
. You can read more and see a list of affected scripts.

For the expert guidance you gave me during my CVUA training JW 1961 Talk 11:28, 24 June 2020 (UTC) |
- Joseywales1961 Lovely dogs you got there and thank you for the banstar!. Pop by here if you need any assistance as I am here to help. Stay safe Joseywales1961 and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:46, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
- I must be a fully fledged vandal fighter now, one of them changed my name on my talk page to Adolf Hitler Junior lol JW 1961 Talk 12:50, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
- Joseywales1961 Well, It is fairly common for us the vandal fighters to receive such messages. Vandal editors stated they would sue me, did personal harm to me, all the "four letter words", name callings and insults of all kinds. It is at times a thankless job and when we accidentally violate WP:3RR for not knowing how many disruptive/unsourced, a too quick revert, edits we have reverted on a particular day especially working on counter vandalism work for a few hours, we would be blocked. I have seen that many times where by long term, experienced counter vandalism editors(7-8 years) got blocked from the examples I stated above and even other editors and the vandal fighters rushed to their talk page and requested them to come back and took a short break, they left Wikipedia for good for they felt their work. So as a vandal fighter we always need to remember 3RR. I am happy your are doing such a good work and thank you for your contribution to Wikipedia. Stay safe Josey and best.

- That's because you are a MORON. How do you not understand you are including the wrong hyperlink? All you have to do is read that the original one was the wrong one so I changed it. Don't edit stuff if you don't understand. And stop giving me rules to follow, I couldn't care less about what you have to say.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Rt0103 (talk • contribs) 02:40, July 3, 2020 (UTC)
- Rt0103 I have informed and advised you to be civil but you went ahead continuing your personal attack and you have been blocked for a week as per here on your talk page. Cassiopeia(talk) 04:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

- IMAHua Greetings. Yes I am. At the moment, Burns is out, not news on if a replacement would be sought or bout move to future date for such not sure which pair will be the healiner for the event. I have requested for page protection and waiting for admin to action. Thank you for helping with the page as well. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:54, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- I know Burns is out but I was saying some dude changed it to Kamaru Usman vs some dudes name. Also is page protections going to protect the page from everyone besides admins to edit? IMAHua (talk) 05:55, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- IMAHua If any editor change the name without source then place a warning message on their talk page. When a page is protected, which mean no registered IP editor and unconfirmed registered editors can NOT edit the page. Let me know if you need further assistance or clarification (I will response after I walk the dog before the cold weather setting in). cheers. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:02, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
- Some dude is editing the card please lock the page. IMAHua (talk) 06:02, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Fight card for UFC 251
May you fix the card. I edited the card to the right order but some dude edited it and reverted it to make Usman and Masvidal co main while Volkanovski-Holloway as main. Can you fix it? IMAHua (talk) 05:19, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- IMAHua is right. UFC 251 : Usman vs Masvidal is correct and further confirm from multiple reliable source over your so called "primary source ufc.com". Per WP:PRIMARYCARE its not always reliable and multiple sources can used to support the content. All reliable too. Kent Bargo (talk) 06:02, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
- @IMAHua and Kent Bargo: Good day. I had sent a message outlining the norm on editing MMA related page both of your talk page prior changes made again in UFC 251. Please read it again and here is the summary of the above info for UFC 251 (note all the below need to be supported by sources)
- (1)Announced bouts -When a bout is announced by the press, we put it on the "Announced bout" section" and when the same bout appear in UFC.com event page, we remove the bout from the "Announced bouts" section and we move the bout into the fight table.
- (2) Fighter pulled from the bout on the "Announced bout section" - (i) We remove the fighter who is pulled from the bout from the "Announced bout" section and (ii) put xxx vs. TBD and mention it on the body text.
- (3) Fighter pulled from the bout on the "Fight table" - If one of the fighters is pulled from the event the bout on the fight table, we (i) we remove the fighter who is pulled from the bout from the "fight table" and place TBD of the fighter who is pulled from the fight and (ii) mention it on the body text.
- (4) Bout remove from the event - (i) we removed it from the either Announced bout section or in the Fight table section (ii) mention it on the body text.
- (5)PPV event name - the article name for PPV is just "UFC XXX" without the headliner and put the headliner on the lead section and info box section when the headliners name appear in UFC.com event web page.
- (6) For Fight Night or UFC on ESPN we will only change the name when they headliners names appear in UFC.com event web page.
- (7) So please do not remove the announced bout of Usman vs. Masvidal on the "Announced bouts" section and do not add the Usman vs. Masvidal until it is shown on UFC event web site.
- Pls observe how things is done normally and ask questions prior editing. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:05, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

However, do ping the editor in any other talk page (including your talk page) so they would receive a notification. Secondly, pls add an additional colon " : " from the previous message thread for one indentation to the right for this is the normal communication protocol in Wikipedia. As for the CVUA program time-frame - participants usually would finish the program in 4-6 weeks as it depends how much time you spend on the assignments. There are total 9 assignment, one monitoring period and one final exam. Participants are expected to read all the links provided answer all the questions. Ping when questions are answered then I will review the answered. Rises any questions for explanation, clarification or anything which you need help. Stay safe and best.
