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)

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)

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.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hussain_Fariyaaz
advice please.
Thanks again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leesaaisath (talkcontribs) 10:29, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Leesaaisath, Hussain_Fariyaaz is also not notable for the current content and source. Please note the content of the page needs to be supported by significant coverage by independent, reliable sources (such as from the major newspapers) where by the sources talk about the subject in length and in depth and not only passing mentioned. - pls read WP:42. Sources can be in any languages. Pls add additional colon ":" from the previous message thread (pls view in source edit mode) to add one right space indentation for this is the Wikipedia communication prototypical in talk pages. Pls read Help:Wikitext for more Wiki markups. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~).. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you (you can come play ball with us anytime)
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.

P,TO 19104 On top of every Wikipedia page, you can fight a "bell icon" which would show "alerts" - click on the bell icon and you will find my message/the page.

Rt0103 Good day. (1) I dont understand what you meant. I could access to all the links. (2) pls be extremely civil on your edit summary as you have personal attack editor - pls read WP:5P4 as treating other editor with civility is one of the five pillar of Wikipedia principal. If you continue to call other editor moron and stupid you will be blocked from editing. (3) Pls do not write in all high cap as this mean :shouting or yelling"o (4) pls note the vertical format of the fight table is the normal way in the UFC events. If I dont revert it, other editors will. (5) Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~).. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:59, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
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 (talkcontribs) 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)

UFC 251

Are you helping with the UFC 251 page? Some dudes are doing random stuff. IMAHua (talk) 05:51, 4 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)
IMAHua I have reported for the page to be protected 15 mins ago, and it is waiting for the admin to action. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:03, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Alright. This is getting out of control. IMAHua (talk) 06:04, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
IMAHua The page is protected and 2 of the IP editors have been blocked and the remaining vandalisim editors were warned.Stay safe and best.09:39, 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)

Question

Hi Cassiopeia. Sorry to trouble you. I hope by the time you read this that the user page is deleted User:JJ Niehaus I CSD U5'd it - the problem I hadn't encountered before is that it was a 13 year old putting a lot of personal information about themselves online (as well a being promotional) - is there a guideline somewhere for referring minors (or anyone else for that matter) as not not supplying personal details, etc. Best wishes JW 1961 Talk 21:00, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
