Mixed martial arts

Hi I saw your question about "Respect Fighting Championship". It takes a little while to figure out how Wikipedia works. It's got rules (just like a sport :-D) that take a little learning. I'm still learning myself.

If you want to work on Mixed Martial Arts articles Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts is a good place to check out. It's a group of people all working on MMA articles. You could introduce yourself on their talk page. They would know what details an MMA article needs to survive on Wikipedia. (Since you are interested in Germany you might also check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Germany and their discussion page at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Germany.)

I don't know anything about MMA myself, but I can tell you that an absolute basic for any article is reliable sources. If there is magazine or newspaper coverage an article has a much better chance of staying. If you learn a little about how references work here you can fix MMA articles that need fixing (so they don't get deleted) and learn how to write your own. Cloveapple (talk) 21:22, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
