New articles in need of clean-up
[edit]All of User:Sam11333's newly created articles need clean-up for capitalised weight classes, flagicons, and the inclusion of 'lineal' titles—it's all gotta go. Unfortunately he hasn't taken on board any of the style guide advice provided. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:52, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

"Vs." and "Vs"
[edit]See this recent discussion I had with User:Sam11333. The user appears to be under the impression that there is a consensus here to change "vs" (no dot) in boxing-related articles to "vs." This has resulted in a number of edits and pagemoves which violate WP:RETAIN. Posting here for comment before moving further with dispute resolution. 162 etc. (talk) 23:02, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
WBA title labelling
[edit]User:Sam11333 has begun making bulk changes to succession boxes by re-labelling the WBA's various secondary titles (Regular/Unified/Undisputed) under the "minor boxing titles" heading – [1] – putting them on par with actual lower-tier organisations such as the IBO, WBF, etc. This, to me, is greatly misleading. We all know the secondary titles tend to be bogus, but they absolutely cannot be compared with the other aforementioned organisations. WBA Regular champions were/are still "major" titleholders.
This urgently needs discussion, because our valued Sam has a habit of really going for it (as he should, because his boxing event articles are great for the most part.. except his devotion to using flags). Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
TBRB in fight articles
[edit]As a "title"—they need to go. There's only one IP who seems to love adding these intangible labels (which is what they are), so maybe they're working for them. Either way, start zapping. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 22:36, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
