WSOF edit

Latest comment: 3 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article described the WSOF as a separate organization rather than a rebrand, listing the founding date as 2018 instead of 2012. However, it still lists information from the WSOF as if it were just a rebrand. It's confusing. I suggest the WSOF be given its own dedicated section or separate article.

Hi @Camillefrancis:,
I'll take a look at all these and welcome help from @HeinzMaster:.
A couple of things before I do.
It looks like you used curved quotes instead of straight quotes, maybe copying and pasting from Word, so your bolding didn't work. Also, you didn't sign your request.
Additionally, if this is an edit request, you should add the Edit Request template to it.
Want to make those edits and I'll take a look with HeinzMaster (if he's up for it).
Ping me when you update.
--FeldBum (talk) 03:57, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hey - updated the request per your feedback. Camillefrancis (talk) 19:12, 25 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Camillefrancis: Will do! I'll take a look at it later today. Was also wondering if you guys have an official promo pic for the event tomm? HeinzMaster (talk) 19:17, 26 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hey @Camillefrancis: and @HeinzMaster:, going through these and checking off what's been done. Agree with HeinzMaster; this page should have some pics. I'll check Commons. --FeldBum (talk) 16:28, 29 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hey @FeldBum: and @HeinzMaster:, thank you for all your help so far.
Here's the source you said was missing: https://www.bizjournals.com/washington/news/2017/04/19/russ-ramsey-donn-davis-launch-professional-mma.html
Also, can you add Donn David as Founder and Chairman to the box on the top right?

Hi again HeinzMaster and FeldBum and thank you again for your help with my last set of edits.

Can I ask for your help with one more? Can you add this photo to the page?

Another Edit Request edit

Latest comment: 2 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

Hey again HeinzMaster and FeldBum. Thank you for your continued help with my edit requests. I have a few last edits (for now) if you can help again.

  • Under History > PFL, can you change “In 2017, MMAX Investment Partners, a group of Reston, Virginia investors, acquired a controlling stake in the WSOF” to “In 2017, MMAX Investment Partners, a group of McLean, Virginia investors, acquired a controlling stake in the WSOF.” See https://sec.report/CIK/0001694675 or SEC filings for a source.
  • In the same section, remove “In February 2021, PFL announced a $65 million dollar financing round, which expanded its total funding to $175 million. The funding round was led by Ares Capital, Elysian Park Ventures, and Knighthead Capital and was intended to help the league expand internationally and accelerate growth.” We already have that in the Investors section, so it's redundant here.
  • Add link to Ares Capital in that section
  • In the partnerships section, add “In December 2021, PFL announced a multi-year partnership for its new PFL Challenger Series with fuboTV. Set to debut in February 2022, the new event will see fighters competing for a chance to earn a PFL contract and will incorporate a celebrity judging panel, a fan vote, sports betting and gamification.”

Thank you again!

Ping @Camillefrancis:, started on these, but looks like someone removed large sections of the page and folded most content into the History section. I'm cool with that structural change, but I think some of the content you want to edit isn't on the page anymore, so take a look and let me and other editors know what you want to add back to history. I'll take a look myself if I get a chance. --FeldBum (talk) 04:28, 7 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ping again @Camillefrancis: The previous editor just rearranged the page (and I think their reductions and rearrangement) make sense, so I left as is and added your edits--with edits of my own for clarity, grammar, POV and removing cites that were press releases--to the new page sections. All done. --FeldBum (talk) 21:55, 21 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
@FeldBum: Got it, thank you for your diligence and I will circle back if anything else needs updating for PFL. I understand why some language needed to be omitted or moved around. -- Camillefrancis

One More Edit Request edit

Hi once more HeinzMaster and FeldBum. Thank you for your continued help with my edit requests! I have a couple more edits if you can continue to help.

https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/30589634/lightweight-anthony-pettis-pfc-agree-terms-sources-say

Also, I want to make pages for founder Donn Davis and CEO Peter Murray, who have both done a lot in the sports business space. How should I go about doing that?

Thank you again!

Camillefrancis (talk) 21:31, 4 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Camillefrancis, I think the edits look good. It's mostly quick date changes. Not sure we even need the new sources.
New pages are tougher. Davis, after a quick search, looks like he has a lot of cites and achievements, so I can try that one. If you have a list of articles or a quick bio, maybe through up a draft or replay here with some text.
I didn't see much for Murray. I don't know if you've ever made a page before, but I would write a draft on your userspace (see Help:Userspace_draft) and then submit it as an article for consideration (see Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation) once you're happy with the draft. That will put it into a queue where other editors can review and see if it merits a real page. Once you have that draft (either in your userspace or in AfC), ping me and I can review. I hope that's not all too confusing. Reach out to me and other editors on this page if you need any help. --FeldBum (talk) 15:13, 8 February 2022 (UTC)Reply


Thank you @FeldBum:. Everything looks good! Sorry again for the mixed up dates.
I’ll try making a draft of the Peter Murray page and put it on my sandbox.
For Donn Davis, here are some links that might be helpful:
Thank you again!
Camillefrancis (talk) 14:37, 10 February 2022 (UTC)Reply


Hey again @FeldBum:
I added the draft to my Sandbox. It's here: User:Camillefrancis/sandbox
Thank you so much!
Camillefrancis (talk) 14:12, 11 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ping @Camillefrancis:, I made some edits to your sandbox, but looks pretty good. I think you can submit the draft.
I should be able to get to the Donn Davis draft shortly.
I see this image on Commons. Looks like it was recently uploaded by PFL so I'll use that for the page, unless there's a reason not to. --FeldBum (talk) 20:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
Ping FeldBum
Thank you so much for your help. I posted the draft. You can find it at Draft:Peter_Murray_(American_businessman).
That Donn Davis image was uploaded by PFL so you can use it.
Thank you again for all your help!
Camillefrancis (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply
OK, cool. I'll take a stab at the page now. --FeldBum (talk) 22:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Camillefrancis Put something up on my sandbox. Unless I got anything really wrong, I'll post this. FeldBum (talk) 14:57, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@FeldBum:, thanks so much for your help! The Donn Davis page looks great. Can you help us create some fighter pages? Even our top fighters are missing, like Ray Cooper III (his dad, Ray Cooper (fighter) is on Wikipedia but he's not), Bruno Cappelozza, Raush Manfio and Movlid Khaybulaev.
Thanks for all your work here!
Camillefrancis (talk) 17:40, 26 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Camillefrancis, no problem. I can work on those pages. It looks like @HeinzMaster already started drafts for Ray Cooper III and Raush Manfio, so if HeinzMaster is cool with that, I'll work on his drafts and then one of us will submit. I can work on the other two, as long as they meet notability, on my sandbox. --FeldBum (talk) 02:45, 28 April 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Camillefrancis: I put Bruno Cappelozza in my sandbox. I think I have the formatting right so I'm going to push it live. --FeldBum (talk) 17:59, 5 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
@HeinzMaster: Want to work on these with me? I saw you started on two and moved my Bruno to draft. --FeldBum (talk) 17:34, 6 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

November Edit Request edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Hi once again Editors,

Have some more update requests, if anyone can help! Tagging HeinzMaster and FeldBum if you can help.

Thank you again for all your help!

Camillefrancis (talk) 22:25, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Camillefrancis,
This is a lot, but going through it. Some notes and what I've done so far:
  • Thanks for the tag, but please remember to add the Edit Request template so other editors see this request too
  • Did the first few edits with some tweaks, otherwise they seemed a little redundant. I don't see any issues with your cites or requests so far.
  • Your citations are all good, but double check with the small edits that we need more sources first. The page is already getting pretty heavy.
--FeldBum (talk) 01:27, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Camillefrancis, I did most of these (with some edits and changes). I also changed tenses to past tense for previous seasons. Where I could, I used previous cites, since the page already has a glut of citations. For anything else, let's try to use existing citations where we can. I'm not sure I understand your request around Fight format and point system. Is that first line meant to be added or to replace something on the page? --FeldBum (talk) 06:40, 29 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your help FeldBum. I’m very happy with all the edits you made!

Sorry if I wasn’t clear on the Fight format and point system section. This is what I meant:

The first paragraph, “The PFL…single point” should go after the line ending “that bout.”

Then can we have the lines “For example, if a fighter wins a fight in the first round, the fighter will receive six total points. A win by decision doesn't earn bonus points.” which are already on the page, using the same sources? Then the bullet points about how points are scored.

Then can we add the line “In the playoffs, the player with the most points is ranked number one and will face number four. The number two and three ranked players will face each other. The semi-finals are three-round bouts. The winners of these bouts will face each other in a five-round championship fight for a $1 million prize.” using the ESPN source already in that section?

Then the existing line “In 2021, PFL changed the playoff structure, the top four fighters per division after the regular season will make the playoffs, a number down from the eight who made the playoffs in men's divisions in previous seasons.” with the same ESPN source.

Then a slight rewrite of the next line to In the women's lightweight division, the top four fighters make the playoffs similar to the rules in 2019. The four fighters who make the playoffs advance directly to the semifinals in each division.” It can use the same source.

Lastly a rewrite of the existing line about quarterfinals to “There are no quarterfinals, nor a situation where a fighter must win twice in a single night.” using the same source.

Let me know if that works or if you need more explanation.

Thank you for your help!!

Camillefrancis (talk) 16:21, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

A little confusing, but I think I got it all. I'll make this done. --FeldBum (talk) 16:57, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
