Mirko

Added to my watchlist. --Drr-darkomen (talk) 23:31, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I've used up two reverts, so I can't help any longer without getting hit by 3RR myself. --Drr-darkomen (talk) 00:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Reverted. --Drr-darkomen (talk) 00:33, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Chapin has added it to his watch list because he wants to report rumours as fact. Mirko CroCop has not signed any contract with the UFC and no fight featuring him has been announced for UFC 103. Even the source of the rumour state very clearly on their rumoured fights page that the CroCop vs Dos Santos fight has not been announced. Therefore it is merely a rumour and should not be listed under Announced Fights. Fights are not announced until the UFC announces them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.137.141.254 (talk) 23:37, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

You have stated it as fact that Mirko is going back to the UFC. Nothing of the sort has been agreed on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.137.141.254 (talk) 23:43, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Isn't is about time for a second warning on this IP editor? --Drr-darkomen (talk) 23:57, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

And here I was under the assumption that you are an Admin.  :) --Drr-darkomen (talk) 00:02, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Patrick Côté

Cote is no longer thought to fight on 103, So I removed those comments, BUT since the fight was sourced- do I need to cite the source that he was NOT, or jsut remove everything? David.snipes (talk) 20:07, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

It would probably be better to edit it to say he was thought to return at UFC 103 but that it was later changed instead of outright removing any mention of it, but if you mean just in terms of mentioning sources in edit summaries etc. when making changes like that I'd say that's always a good idea so other people don't have to search things up to verify. --aktsu ^(t / c) 22:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up, will take a look at it and add anything relevant as soon as I find the time :) --aktsu ^(t / c) 02:24, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Page protection

Thank you for correcting the wikicode. First time I have made a request and I was sure that I was going to make a mistake... AlexandrDmitri (talk) 08:29, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

ricco

why are you reverting the edits? I'm ricco's manager and the text your inserting is untrue.. I'm updating the info with current information. Will you please not undo my edits? thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.27.49.203 (talk) 17:09, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Replied at User talk:24.27.49.203. --aktsu ^(t / c) 17:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Either way you're posting false information (or reverting back to false information)

What's that? Maybe I should look in to it? --Drr-darkomen (talk) 04:08, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Holy crap... you mean there's a tool to help me do this stuff? Thanks a ton! --Drr-darkomen (talk) 04:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah... I've been going at it all manual cut and paste style... this will help A LOT. Thanks again. --Drr-darkomen (talk) 04:33, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

UFC 105 bouts

Not that I care either way at this point, but I should point out that MMAJunkie independently confirmed the tentative spots for those fighters. They stated that MMABay first broke the story but then a representative close to the event confirmed with MMAJunkie. In case you want to rethink it.  :) --Drr-darkomen (talk) 17:33, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

There is certainly a lot to deal with. I bet 99% of my edits are just reverts of garbage with 1% being actual addition of content. For some reason I keep coming back the next day and doing it again though.  :) --Drr-darkomen (talk) 18:22, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

And like I said before I don't care either way about those bouts. I didn't take them down when they were put there and I'm not going to put them back up now that they aren't. I left them alone because I found them borderline and didn't want a fight over a judgment call. --Drr-darkomen (talk) 18:24, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

No worries. I didn't think you were insulting me in any way. --Drr-darkomen (talk) 19:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

fffffffff

Leave the t-shirts on douchebag.

I swear, Wiki editors have ZERO humor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.87.118.178 (talk) 18:55, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you have to realise this is supposed to be an encyclopaedia not a random collection of information. Cheers, --aktsu ^(t / c) 19:01, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Affliction: Trilogy

You're British, yes? :) --Drr-darkomen (talk) 17:56, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Haha. I'm not really sure if it matters. This is the English Wikipedia, and I'm not sure there is a policy preferring either flavor (flavour). --Drr-darkomen (talk) 18:06, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Affliction has had a flawed business model since day one. I can't say that I'm very surprised. However I would have like to seen the event (original fight card included). --Drr-darkomen (talk) 18:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. This may very well be the end for Affliction Entertainment. Sending the guys to Strikeforce would be nice, but unless the fighters are willing to take a pay cut I have serious doubts that Strikeforce can/will pay them their Affliction salaries. --Drr-darkomen (talk) 19:33, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Rampage Jackson Feud with Mo Lawal

I added the "Feud with Mo Lawal" piece to the Rampage Jackson page and properly cited Yahoo! Sports. There are a number of other sources that can be easily cited if you need more (ex. ESPN, CagePotato, etc). The video showing the feud between Jackson and Lawal has become hugely popular in the United States and has stirred quite a bit of controversy. Most recently, Lawal appeared on ESPN to comment on the video and confirm his feud with Jackson. You can view a good portion of the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPYLhYJP5EA .

I have reverted your 'undo' of my changes. Please do not 'undo' these changes again. If you need further confirmation about the extent of the feud, please watch the Lawal interview on ESPN or any of the other dozens of media outlets that are reporting the story.

Thanks!

Amateur tournament? SPIRIT MC INTERLEAGUE 1 -80kg & +80kg tournament is professional tournament. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.72.113.9 (talk) 06:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Your source is the same one that I referred to on another page (thank you for posting a direct link btw). Twice in that notice they announce that that Interleague event for amateurs. Nowhere does it say that it's exclusively for pros or amateurs.

Many sporting events allow amateurs to compete with pros and allow them to keep their amateur status, as long as they follow their policies regarding qualifications, what they can accept as prizes, etc. US Open (golf) is one prime example. UFC 13 has allowed Tito Ortiz to compete as an amateur.

Can you provide a source on the fighters' purse for Spirit MC Interleague 1, and that Dong Hyun Kim was paid as a professional for his fight in that event? Kangaroo001 (talk) 18:07, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Young Choi is -80kg tournament winner. He get \2,000,000. Why is [Young Choi vs Donghyun Kim] considered as an amatuer match? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.72.113.165 (talk) 05:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

External Links on "Muay Thai"

Hi. I added some discussion to the "external links" section on the Muay Thai discussion page I'd like you to take a look at. (203.30.34.58 (talk) 06:08, 26 July 2009 (UTC))

Cage Wars

Hi, Thanks for your message re the images on the Cage Wars page. The photographer Kirth Ferris had indeed posted these images on his own site (which he had permission to do), but accidentally labelled them as his copyright. He is now removing the copyright claim, so hopefully the problem is now solved. Thanks for alerting me to the source of the problem. 81.138.2.225 (talk) 11:54, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Chris Kelly —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.2.225 (talk) 11:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I replied here. --aktsu ^(t / c) 12:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, Kirth Ferris has removed them from his site as he was falsely claiming the copyright to the images (albeit a genuine mistake). He has permission to replace them once he has has amended the copyright notice. The copyright in these images belongs to Cage Wars. As the CEO of Cage Wars, I have sent a permissions email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org on July 24th at 17:13 (BST). I have not received an acknowledgment. It is very frustrating that when I am trying to make our material available on the Cage Wars page, there is always someone there within an hour or two trying to delete it. Yet when I send written permission, nobody can even reply to me within 160 hours. In fact, you are the only person who has taken the time to contact me to help resolve the situation. Thanks again for your help. If you know anyone on the receiving end of permissions-en@wikimedia.org, perhaps you could ask them to read my email and respond. Thanks Aktsu.
