April 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Mortal Kombat 8, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ~QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 13:17, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And the reference is on the redirected page

re: Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Mortal Kombat 8. This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:MattParker 119, is considered as a bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Even if the talk page is "yours", you do not own it and may not remove any text at will. ~QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 15:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Salvation (video game)

I have nominated Salvation (video game), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Salvation (video game). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Guy (Help!) 21:03, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but BBC One is the "usual" airing, BBC Three is the "preview", so you are spoiling some poor folks! D B D 23:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.

Although, he has been named successor, he hasn't been introduced as head coach, yet please wait till that happens. Thanks.--Iamawesome800 23:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CRYSTAL

Noticed you were trying to add Rex Ryan to Template:NFLHeadCoaches, but per WP:CRYSTAL, we can't add that until someone like ESPN says he has accepted the deal not will accept. Please wait until it happens.--Iamawesome800 Talk to Me 14:14, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of LMNO (video game)

NFL Free Agents

When updating NFL player pages please follow the following:

add the NFL Year template to the years in the infobox by typing {{NFL Year|2008}}
all players released now should have their last year with the team say 2008, not 2009 because they never played with that team in the 2009 season
delink the birthdates

Thanks.--Giants27 T C 23:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Future matches in a fighter's record history

I just revered additions you made to Kimbo Slice. Please do not add future matches to a fighter's record history. Upcoming matches are not guaranteed to actually happen and could be called off at the last minute. In adding these fights early it results in more work for editors to track down all these matches and remove them. It is simpler for all to simply add the match once it is completed. You can refer to this discussion at the MMA Wikiproject for more information. Thank you for your help. --TreyGeek (talk) 23:33, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Etch A Sketch (video game)

The article Etch A Sketch (video game) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:CRYSTAL - Two years later, still nothing apparently.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 71.162.17.225 (talk) 03:06, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Almeida Flag

I noticed you changed back all the flags. Thats awesome but its only half way. All of his opponents have the flag changed in there fight records as well. Just wanted to fill you in because I agree with the flag thing even though he is "brazilian" he was still born in USA so everyone else can suck it. Other people on here just don't want to accept it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.183.253.122 (talk) 07:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you don't do this again. The Brazilian flag is sourced and you've not given any sources for US nationality. He is U.S. by residency but his primary nationality is Brazilian. Do not change it again. This goes for the IP too. Paralympiakos (talk) 12:20, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The guy was born in Weehawken, New Jersey he's American http://www.bjjheroes.com/bjj-fighters/ricardo-almeida-cachorrao-wiki

Go to Talk:UFC 117. Being born somewhere gives you residency. He was born on a holiday, he lived in Brazil until his mid-twenties, has Brazilian heritage. His claim to U.S. nationality is tenuous and is only through residency. His PRIMARY nationality is BRAZILIAN! I'm not doubting he holds American nationality, but it's only through residency. BRAZIL = PRIMARY. Paralympiakos (talk) 12:33, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

US Constitution: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

He's a US citizen and I have seen no proof of his brazilian citizenship

I've never denied he's a citizen of the U.S., but that doesn't make it his primary nationality. How can you possibly deny he's Brazilian? It's been sourced and he admits he classes himself half-Brazilian, half-American due to having a wife in America, that's all. Let's not edit war on this. Paralympiakos (talk) 13:25, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

McCorkle

I'm not sure what don't you get about the weight parameter. It's not meant to be the same as the division weight. Otherwise there'd be no need for it, as it's a basic duplicate unless they're a heavyweight. 263 was McCorkle's weight for a matter of minutes and was a result of severe dehydration to make that weight. Do you think he actually fought at that weight? He'll have been at least 20lbs more come fight night.

Also, please stop just putting numbers for the division. It's hideous. 265 what? lbs? potatoes? Canadians? That means nothing to people who aren't in the know about the sport. Please keep it as "Heavyweight"/"Super Heavyweight" etc. Paralympiakos (talk) 19:40, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Football League Championship controversy 25 April 2011

I've declined speedy as it doesn't fit 'nonsense'. It's reasonably coherent, whereas 'nonsense' is things like xjytckllngfd or something that would get you thrown out of a Surreal Poetry Club for being silly. What this is, I don't know. Encyclopaedic, no. If you can't find a better category, prod it. (I don't think context would get it either.) Good luck. Peridon (talk) 17:54, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Current UFC fighters

I would like some sort of verification that Joe Stevenson has definitely not been cut before removing him from that list. I understand that he may be in some sort of contractual limbo as he himself has stated (on twitter) that he does not know what his UFC future is right now. As stated in this article any fighter removed from the UFC's active rosters will be removed from their division and listed as cut. Joe Stevenson has been removed from the UFC's active rosters. This does not mean that you cannot find his profile on UFC.com, but if you search through their lightweight and featherweight divisions, he is not listed there. If, this is a mistake and he is returned to their fighter listings, or announces a future fight in the UFC I will be happy to return him to the list of UFC featherweights. Until that happens, he should be considered released per the articles guidelines. Thaddeus Venture (talk) 18:36, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

September 2011

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, as you did to the article Georges St-Pierre, please cite a reliable source for your addition. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. TreyGeek (talk) 20:32, 7 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Templated Warning

I'm not going to template you, but you should know that edits such as you made as Greg Jackson (MMA trainer) are not OK. First of all, you don't just revert without explanation--it's rude. Second, the information you re-added, like the information you added in a later edit, is not just unexplained (you should start using edit summaries) but also unverified. Please see our policy regarding living people at WP:BLP. I see from other notes on your talk page that this has been brought up before; I hope you'll realize that an encyclopedia without reliable sources is nothing. Thank you.

Your contributed article, UFC on FX 1

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, UFC on FX 1. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - UFC Fight Night 26. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at UFC Fight Night 26 - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. MattParker 119 (talk) 19:36, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

UFC Event Pages & article naming scheme.

I'm not sure if you have the MMA Wikiproject on your watchlist. A discussion was started there yesterday about the naming scheme for UFC event articles. Your thoughts and input would be welcome. --TreyGeek (talk) 18:03, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

February 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from UFC on Fuel TV: Sanchez vs. Ellenberger. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for March 10

Hi. When you recently edited UFC Primetime, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jon Jones (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:27, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit that you made to User Talk:Mtking has been reverted or removed because it was a misuse of a warning or blocking template. Please use the user warnings sandbox for any tests you may want to do, or take a look at our introduction page to learn more about contributing to the encyclopedia. Thank you. That is the second time you have left a template message on my talk page without any reason, stop it. Mt king ^(edits) 20:55, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at User talk:Mtking. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.
I can find no evidence that the user is engaging in the behaviors described by the generic template that you have left. I would suggest in the future, that additional comments be left to explain why you believe the user deserves the templated message as I have done here.

Do not abuse multiple accounts again

Please do not abuse multiple accounts again, like you did with User:MattParker 117, which I just blocked. That is sock puppetry, and you will be blocked if you do something like that again. Regards, --MuZemike 17:06, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Strikeforce Challengers: Voelker vs. Bowling III

The article Strikeforce Challengers: Voelker vs. Bowling III has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This sports event fails WP:NOTNEWSPAPER policy along with WP:EVENT, WP:SPORTSEVENT and WP:MMAEVENT, there is no attempt in the actual article to demonstrate any lasting significance, the sources are from either before or immediately post the event and are just of the routine coverage type any sports event gets, they are either not independent or from MMA centric websources that lack diversity.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
