Hello,

i noticed you edited a Mixed Martial Arts page in August, but you haven't listed yourself as a Participant on the Wikiproject for Mixed Martial Arts pages. I've decided to try to drum up interest to get more people involved!

Proposed deletion of Dmitriy Sosnovskiy

The article Dmitriy Sosnovskiy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable MMA fighter does not meet WP:NMMA

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. PRehse (talk) 08:57, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Dmitriy Sosnovskiy for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Dmitriy Sosnovskiy is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dmitriy Sosnovskiy until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. PRehse (talk) 18:19, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Abdullaah Ibn Hasan al-Qu'ood

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Abdullaah Ibn Hasan al-Qu'ood requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://fatma17.blogspot.com/2011. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Callan Potter, Klidson Abreu, Hector Aldana and all MMA fighter pages you have created

Hi Crocopgunner, Greetings, Pls note that tapology or sherdog databases are not secondary sources which we need to demostrate the notability of the fighters. For the UFC fights, pls provide 2 source per fight, one source when the fight was announced, one for the result. If there are other info such as pulled out of the event, missed weight but one of the pair, you need to provide secondary sources as well. Secondary sources are sources from newspaper and MMA reporting sites such as MMA junkie, Cageside, Fightington and etc. You can use the sources from the opponent pages if their opponents have a page in Wikipedia. Pls reword all for the page at the moment consider to move to draft page. pls work on it asap and ping me when they are done. Thank you. Cassiopeia^(talk) 01:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CASSIOPEIA, thank you very much for your help and advice. I have implemented your advice into the article I created just now which is: Charles Jourdain. Please inform me if that is correct now. Once again I would like to thank you very much. Have a great day. Crocopgunner ^talk _{my edits} 02:41, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Crocopgunner, Greetings, I have reviewed Charles Jourdain and you get the sources correct. Thank you very much. When you add the link in List of current UFC fighters you need to add sortname and pipes with curly open and close double brackets(see the example from other figther who already has a page in Wikipedia for the name would be sorted in the column (see table heading where there is an arrow). Kindly add all the sources needed for all the pages you have created. Thank you for your contribution. Pop by my talk page if you need any assistance as I am here to help. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia^(talk) 03:11, 14 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Crocopgunner, G'day. I have yet to see you adding the right sources as per above mentioned. Kindly do so by this weekend for I will move the page to draft space. Thank you. Cassiopeia^(talk) 01:30, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CASSIOPEIA, I have just updated and added the right sources to Alonzo Menifield and Callan Potter. I will finish the other 4 articles by tomorrow hopefully. Thank you very much. Crocopgunner ^talk _{my edits} 12:02, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MMA related pages

Hi Crocopgunner, Greetings. Since you have edited and created a number of pages of MMA related articles in Wikipedia, pls see the below for your info.

Pls visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts and read through the MMA Wikipedia guidelines.
When a bout is announced which stating "finalizing, in work, rumors, verbally agreed, in the press, this means the bout is not official yet. Wait until it official before place it under the "Announced bouts" section of the event page.
When a bout is announced in the press, editors put the match up in the "Announced bouts" section (inline citation is needed)
When UFC.com / its local web site (pls check the reference beneath the fight card table in the Wikipedia page), the editors would remove the bout in the "Announced bouts" and place it in the "fight card" section.
When a fighter pulls from a fight (due to injury/or by UFC/ visa issues and etc), we placed the info in the "Background section" (inline citation needed) and remove the injured fighter name and put "TBD".
When a injured fighter has been replaced, editor put the info in the background section (with inline citation). If the new match up has not been shown in the UFC.com fight card, then we will removed the match up from the fight card and place it back to "Announced section". If the match up already shown in the UFC.com then jut put the replacement fighter in the fight card section.
When the event named has been announced (such as UFC Fight Night: dos Santos vs. Tuivasa) then we place the info in the background section (with inline citation). If UFC.com has shown the event names (Fight Night events or UFC on ESPN) such as UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Medeiros or UFC on ESPN: Reyes vs. Weidman, then editor would move the article and article talk page name accordingly accept the flagship event such as UFC 187, UFC 242 and etc.
No colour box in the fighter's page infobox at event fight card page. No title eliminator in the fight card or body text in fighter page or event page. No (c) - champion on the event fight card unless the fighter is the current champion of the weight division.
"method" in the fight table is as per Sherdog.com as per WP:MMA guideline and please do not interpret the method yourself even if the method is incorrect as Wikipedia is all about WP:verification and not the true.
Info box as per Sherdog. No other nick names or else we would have many nicknames pop up every time there is a internet meme.
Reach as per UFC.com as Sherdog dont have the info. Pls provide inline citation.
Stand - need to provide inline citation. IF you can find source to support it, leave it blank
Style - "The style parameter should only be used in MMA fighters that have participated professionally or in international competitions in other combat sports (i.e. boxing or kickboxing) and who are notable in said sports and deserve an article for their merits in these other sports (i.e. Antônio Rogério Nogueira, Alistair Overeem). It is suggested to MMA editors that they actively remove the style parameter in infoboxes of MMA fighters that do not meet these criteria." Leave style for modern mma fighter as they have to train several combat disciplines.
No Flag icon on info box or fight table.
Info could be obtain from Sherdog on Info box - need to support by sources such as teachers, belts, notable relatives, university, occupation outside fighting career and etc.
Pls read referencing to understand about referencing and how to provide inline citation.
Leave a brief edit summary before saving you edit, so other editors know the nature of your edit for Wikipedia is the collaboration work from many editors.
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Ping|Cassiopeia}}. Please remember to

Thank you and hope the above info help. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia^(talk) 09:23, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

old process pages

Please stop editing old process pages, they provide a record of activity at that time. — xaosflux ^Talk 01:00, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Xaosflux, I'm just in the process of removing my digital footprint, what way can I go about removing it completely on Wikipedia? Thanks. Crocopgunner ^talk _{my edits} 01:05, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Realistically, you can not "completely remove" anything old - the logs and history will still be there - editing old process pages actually just brings more attention to it. — xaosflux ^Talk 12:01, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
