No admin here who can block vandals and take care of things?

I've seldom seen a page so often vandalised and so often left with the poorer version for quite a long time.

Deletion

An editor deleted a sentence because in the editor's subjective opinion it was irrelevant. While the press reported it. We follow the RSs, not the subjective view of an editor, when determining relevance. I would urge its restoration. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dmitry_Bivol&diff=1091236248&oldid=1091235693 --2603:7000:2143:8500:A908:6DD1:B32B:3F34 (talk) 18:17, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Saying the WBA "allowed" him to fight--because other organisations have banned Russian fighters from competing for their titles--is inaccurate. Unless the WBA have specifically said 'we're allowing Bivol to fight because of XYZ', then it was business as usual and doesn't concern Bivol. What the WBC, IBF and WBO have done had no impact on Bivol, so doesn't warrant a mention. What the WBA have done is what matters. If multiple RS report how the WBA's measures (no Russian flag or anthem) have impacted Bivol, then sure, have a sentence mentioning that. Failing that, I don't see how it's relevant to the subject of the article. – ².O.^Boxing 19:32, 3 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update and clarification needed

According to the Wikipedia page for Canelo, Bivol defeated Canelo. What is "UD"? Abbreviations should be explained, e.g., in a footnote. Kdammers (talk) 04:58, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you're referring to the record table? We follow recommended practice, which is to use the abbr template on the first instance. Adding footnotes next to every abbreviation would be overkill. — ².O.^Boxing 09:43, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just used ctr+F with "ud" and did not find any explanation.Kdammers (talk) 14:00, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The abbr template displays a tooltip when you hover over it (desktop only). MOS:ACRO1STUSE doesn't seem to cover the use of the abbr template on it's own, but there's two solutions we can choose from. A discussion should take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing, as this change will likely affect thousands of articles. If you don't beat me to it I'll start a discussion later tonight or tomorrow (UK time). – ².O.^Boxing 18:18, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
