Thank you for dropping by Mac Dreamstate, have you got a link to that discussion?--Donniediamond (talk) 10:22, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Right here. Feel free to dive in! Mac Dreamstate (talk) 13:28, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, if you have a moment (or many..), have a look at the boxing MOS proposal that I've been cooking up. Feedback, suggestions and/or criticism from all angles would be much appreciated. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 13:32, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update

In view your input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Boxing#Notability guidelines I have made a proposal at Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#Boxing clarification. Since you gave input at the project page, then I thought I would let you know about the general page. RonSigPi (talk) 00:57, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Juho Tolppola

Ah nice, something Finnish-related for me to look at for a change! No problem, I'll give it the once-over with some refs. Do you want me to create his pro record as well? I find those rather fun to do. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:26, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for January 29

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eduardo García (boxer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Ring. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Boxing proposal

Do you think you are ready for your boxing proposal? Out of curiosity, why for A4 did you drop the Intercontinental, International, Regional or Continental titles? Seems like criterion 1 of A3 and criteria 2-4 of A4 is the best bet. Anyways, wanted to know if you were going to formally propose soon so a vote can take place. RonSigPi (talk) 21:42, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello my friend, I am in no rush to push it forward to the formal proposal stage. I think we should give it another two weeks, that way everyone that has an interest in the issue can have a chance to have their say.

I deleted the Intercontinental, International, Regional and Continental titles because some are relatively spurious and if they are meaningful then the sanctioning body of that title will give them a Top 15 ranking and they will gain automatic notability that way.

The only thing we have to all agree on is how we word a criteria to include other notable titles such as the EBU and Commonwealth etc but I think that we could omit those as well because if they really are notable titles then the winner of one should get a Top 15 rankings with someone. --Donniediamond (talk) 10:30, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am not sure why I have been block. I don't know anything about the other accounts and I have nothing to do with them. I use a public computer at the library but I haven't let anyone use my account. Donniediamond (talk) 11:33, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Confirmed sockpuppetry based on more than just IP address. Yamla (talk) 11:44, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
