Your userpage

Some vandal started your userpage with nonsense. I blanked it, and it might just look better if your name is blue, but if you want me to delete the page outright, just say the word. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 05:57, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

About the 'knockout' article.

It's interesting that the NJ state athletic control board has defined knockout, but it's still not mentioned in the rules of the UFC. Got any idea about that?--Marcus 05:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Not quite sure why... although that rules page also leaves out some other rules mentioned on UFC broadcasts, ie. fighters are repositioned as they were on the ground if a ref should call time. I assumed it's mostly because that section of the UFC site is just neglected. hateless 07:07, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

About your "Tsunami Song" AfD Vote

Keep, the Hot 97 controversy was rather major, especially for the Asian American community, and it deserves its own article. I don't have an opinion on whether songs about the tsunami should have an article however. hateless 03:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not proposing that USA for Indonesia be deleted, which is the song surrounding the Hot 97 controversy. I'm proposing that the article about "tsunami song" — which is "songs about the tsunami" — should be deleted. If you have no opinion on that, then you probably wouldn't want to vote either way. — WCityMike (talk • contribs • where to reply) 14:49, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Proposed delete

Hey, how come you put a proposed to be deleted tag on the article for TC (Artist)? I'm half way through setting it up? Mostly Zen 00:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

• • Is this a hobby of yours? Putting relevant pages forward for deletion after a lot of time and effort has been put in? Evidently so. Tír Eoghain abú 14:00, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a fun way for a wannabe bureaucrat like me to kill some time. Sarcasm aside, I've grown quite affectionate toward WP and have an appreciation for the WP's rules and guidelines and the rationale behind the rules. Usually I'm nice and put up a prod tag which can be overturned by anyone, like I did with the fellow above, and leave it alone when problems are fixed. Then there's people like you, who evidently have no respect for the encyclopedia. Do yourself a favor and get a web site going for your school paper, and publish content there instead of here. hateless 16:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Christian Affairs Magazine

In regards to the article Christian Affairs Magazine, which you proposed for deletion, I have marked the article for speedy deletion, as I feel that the article meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion. In cases where it applies, speedy deletion is preferable to proposed deletion. I have left the {{prod}} tag in place, so that if speedy deletion is rejected, your proposed deletion will remain in place. Thanks! Mangojuice^talk 13:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Roentgen Stories

Jumping the gun, aren't we? If you'll check the history of the ROENTGEN STORIES page before posting, you might notice that I only just created it. Currently, I'm in the process of adding content, unless you expect a gorgeous, content-filled page to suddenly pop out of nowhere, fully created.

It's an honest mistake, I suppose, but please check your facts before posting.

Mainstream urban r&b

I see you placed a prod on this article. You should know that I have speedied it twice as a repost---the original was speedied earlier today---and the author has threatened to continue recreating it. I have reported his actions to an administrator, and hopefully they will do something about him. You should watch and make sure he does not remove the prod tag. ---Charles 17:48, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

UFC pages/links

Hello, this is Ivan Trembow of MMAWeekly. I noticed that you (or someone else around the same timeframe) posted links to my recent article about the UFC's 2006 pay-per-view buyrates. Even if you weren't the one who added that link, this message still applies to you because you appear to have a semi-regular role in maintaining the UFC event pages on Wikipedia.

The only problem with the links to the PPV article is that they pointed to the article on MMAWeekly, and the links on MMAWeekly expire after a certain number of weeks. Everything that I write about mixed martial arts is published on both MMAWeekly and on my own personal web site. So, I have replaced the links to the PPV article on MMAWeekly with links to the same article on my own site. It is the same exact article from the same exact author (me), but at a permanent URL that won't expire.

On some other UFC event pages, I have also added other links to specific articles that I have written, in cases where I felt it was appropriate. For example, on the pages for the live TV events that the UFC has held, I added information about the TV ratings for those events and linked to the full articles if people want more information.

The same goes for the Fighter Salaries for every UFC event starting in April 2005, although I wasn't sure where to put those particular links because they do not necessarily fall under the "Sources" section for any given UFC event page on Wikipedia, but they do contain relevant information that a very large percentage of MMA fans are interested in reading. You may have a better idea of where to put those links on any given "UFC event page," so please feel free to move them to a different spot on the page if you feel that there's a more appropriate spot.

Also, please note that I made the vast majority of these changes without using my account, which I just created in the last few hours, so the majority of my edits will show up as just being from the IP address 69.175.88.28

Any feedback/comments/questions on any of the changes I've made would be much appreciated.

ALSO: I wanted to ask you this since you are a regular Wikipedia contributor and probably know the answer. When adding relevant information that is fully relevant to a page, such as the TV ratings for a UFC TV event, or the fighter salaries for a UFC PPV event (or TV event), what is the proper way of doing so? Would it be to include the information and a link (with just the "1" or "2" external link notation) in the body of the page along with the rest of the description? Or would it be to include something in the "External Links" section of the page that links to an article with the relevant information? Or is it both? The info on TV ratings and fighter salaries is very relevant information, but I'm not 100% sure how to properly implement it.

Proposed MMA promotion

I see you work on MMA. this had some good fights in England 02'-04'. Don't see it on the promotion list. http://www.sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?Organization_ID=116

status?

Hi, this is Ivan Trembow and I just wanted to ask what the general timeframe is for questions posed on the WikiProjects pages. So far, there hasn't been any objections to changing the specified links to my own site, but then again, there have only been three people who have responded (not counting myself). I'm not sure how this works... at what point is it decided that a consensus has been reached and the links are okay to be changed back (or kept the same if a consensus is reached in the other direction)? How exactly does the process work now that a couple of days have gone by? --Ivantrembow 07:58, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

attendance/live gate/fighter payroll information

Hi, I am posting this message on both the WikiProject page and oyour Talk page because I wasn't sure whether I should post it on one or the other, or both.

I wanted to let you know that in addition changing the link URLs that we previously discussed, I also added links in the articles (I believe they would be called inline links, but I'm not 100% sure on that because I'm still fairly new to this) to the UFC attendance, live gate, and fighter salary information. I added the salary breakdowns for all the events that I have, and in doing so I noticed that many events (especially those in the UFC 45 to UFC 49 range) did not have any attendance information whatsoever, so I added the attendance information and created inline links to the Nevada State Athletic Commission web site on those pages.

Also, from the period of UFC 51 and on, there were a few pages that had incorrect attendance numbers, which appeared to be the numbers that Zuffa announced. Those numbers are often exaggerated, and the legit numbers are released by the athletic commissions. In any case where I changed anything attendance-related, I made sure to include an inline link to the NSAC web site. Actually, even on most of the pages, where the attendance was correct, I still added inline links to the NSAC web site on the pages that didn't have them before. Also, a few of the pages had the info in the infobox on the right-side column, but not in the body text as well, so in those cases I added a brief sentence to the body text with the attendance and live gate figures.

The total combination of this is that I think the pages have a lot more business information in the body text, between the attendance numbers, live gate figures, fighter payrolls, and TV ratings for the Spike TV shows, and all of the aforementioned things have inline links to the appropriate places for more information.

The only thing now is that I could have added the attendance and fighter payroll info for UFC 43 and UFC 44, but there have been no event pages created for those events. I don't know anywhere near enough about Wikipedia to be able to create new pages and list the results and all of that, but if you or anyone else does that stuff at some point, then I could add in the fighter payroll and attendance info for those events. As for UFC 40, UFC 41, and UFC 42, it might be good to create little pages for those events, but the only info I have for those events is the attendance and live gate for UFC 40. --Ivantrembow 10:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Mellisa Elise

Do you expect anyone to add content to the aforementioned article if it doesn't exist? It Holds PLENTY of useful information. Wikipedia is a collection of information, Melissa Elise exists and who knows when she will be searched for? Or when she has more roles? When she does, people will add more info but ONLY IF IT EXISTS! Do not put it up for deletion, that is a stupid abuse of power. --Crampy20 18:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Please see WP:V and WP:NN. There are reasons why non-notable people are not welcomed subjects on this encyclopedia. If the subject is not notable enough to ensure reliable sources of information about that subject, then it doesn't belong in WP. Frankly, don't expect articles on non-notable people to expand naturally if not enough people out there have any information on the subject. I suggest you stop getting frustrated and understand these policies and why they came about. Also, if you want to be given the benefit of the doubt on questionable articles, I suggest you start authoring articles that comply with the Manual of Style, at least that way people can assume you're familiar with WP's policies. hateless 18:49, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Question about Deletion suggestion

I've very recently started adding articles to WP, and this is the first time I've come across the guideline for adding an article for a pop track, which, incidentally, makes sense (only setting up an article if it was released as a single or has special historical significance). My question is, is there a suggested way to include credits for songs on the main page of an album so as not to create a secondary article? My intention was to show the international artists Joseph Arthur has performed with on his albums, and this doesn't seem to be a good way to do it. Would it be most practical to put a complete list of artists on the album's main page and denote on which tracks they performed? Thanks for your assistance - I consider myself rather fond of Wikipedia and want to make it easily navigable. CGrue 05:14, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I would suggest looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs and especially their model article/examples section. It does not appear they have a preferred format for credits, so it seems you can do what you deem to be the best way. The way you suggested seems perfectly fine to me, certainly it's the more established method of listing credits in most liner notes I've seen. And thanks for understanding the reason why I tagged the articles. hateless 05:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

In regard to the AfD for Cheese (recreational drug)

I hope your WP:CIVIL reminder wasn't directed at me!!! I was merely attempting to notify the nominator that AfDs have fallen through because of an assumed "bad faith" nomination as a result of a comment such as the one made by the nominator.

Have a great day! :) Srose (talk) 15:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Srose, no the note was directed to Aspensti, who wrote a rather rude reply to your suggestion. Don't worry, I thought your comment was fine and well in-line. hateless 19:27, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Baffled (Marquardt image)

Hello. I noticed that you were a prolific member of the Wikipedia Mixed Martial Arts project, so I came asking for a bit of advice. I recently revamped Nathan Marquardt's article and uploaded an image that was from the official Pancrase website (Image:Marquardt image.jpg). I've seen a lot of users that upload images, but mine was tagged for deletion, it seems. I am apparently missing a "fair use explanation," but am a bit confused. I included a fairuse tag, but am not sure how to rationalize it beyond that. Do you have any pointers for such a situation? I'm still learning the ins and outs to Wikipedia. Thanks!

WA007 article help needed

Hello hateless, can you give me a hand over on the WA007 article. I found that you helped out the 2Advanced article, and I feel that WA007.com deserves to have their name in Wiki as one of the people who innovated flash design. Because WA007 is not as large as 2Advanced they do not seem to have as many citations i can use on the article. To give validitiy to the company as a prominent source of design influence in flash design. Your help would be greatly appreciated, as I am new to Wiki and the one topic that I pick to write about is the one that gets contested.--GDWA007 00:52, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Lil' One

Hey, man. The Mr. Lil' One page is relevant, hes a chicano rapper from San Diego and fits in the Chicano Rap section of Wikipedia, can u take that thing you put on the page off? Thanks -CharlesBronson18

Don't do me any favors

You tagged the article eleven minutes after it was created. Did you perhaps stop to think that it might be a work in progress? Otto4711 23:07, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Your request for citation

In History of Seattle, you tagged the passage "Although it boasted newspapers and telephones, lynch law often prevailed (there were at least four lynchings in 1882), schools barely operated, and indoor plumbing was a rare novelty. In the low mudflats where much of the city was built, sewage was almost as likely to come in on the tide as to flow away. Potholes in the street were so bad as to cause at least one fatal drowning." I'm not sure exactly what facts you want a citation for. It's a dense passage with about 10 separate facts, most of them (I would think) quite uncontroversial. Let me know what you have any doubts about and I'll get you a citation. - Jmabel | Talk 17:53, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, per my practice, and my interpretation of WP:V, I generally tag with {{fact}} any time I see some sort of statistic or urban legend (or anything that seems like an urban legend) which is unsourced, whether I believe it or not. As for the above passage the fatal drowning in a pothole seems a stretch, although I don't really have an opinion on its factuality, I think something that can seem incredulous should have some support. hateless 20:42, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Aperture update

Why did you re-update the release date of Aperture 1.5 to be the 25th of september? The new version of the software has not yet been released so that date is incorrect - the correct thing to do is to wait and determine what the valid date really is (should be later this week so there is not long to get correct information here).

I would actually be OK just removing the whole 1.5 entry if it's a matter of style not having an exact date on a release line - I did not add the original 1.5 entry. The problem is that some people are seeing a release date there and thinking the release is out already, which it is not... I just want to provide the most factual information possible.

Kgelner 18:58, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, because I thought the news stories said the update was released immediately, and the infobox already showed (before my edit) that 1.5 was released on the 25th, I believed it was already released. Sorry for the error, although it should be easy to fix. hateless 19:03, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Ah, so I was right to revert. 'Man on man' seemed just close enough to be possible. I think that's me done for the night. Mr Stephen 23:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Steve Mazzagatti

I created a short article about Steve Mazzagatti for the project and I guess it was deleted? I always see you around MMA wikis so I thought maybe I would just tell you and see what you thought. I thought it would be okay? Dumbwhiteguy777 01:04, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The deletion logs show that it was speedy deleted under CSD A7, that it is a biographical article without an assertion to notability. You can take it up with Ginkgo100, the admin who deleted it, and ask him why he deleted it. If you don't like the answer, you can appeal the deletion at deletion review. Personally, I don't think Mazzagatti is notable enough for WP since there just isn't enough written about him that we could use for a reliable article. hateless 06:37, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Does this page not qualify for locking from unregistered and new users? Crazyknight 22:26, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

You can bring it up with WP:RFP, but the admins do turn down requests if there isn't enough recent vandalism to justify protection. hateless 06:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm just so sick of seeing a good article get vandalised by morons and spammers. If it wasn't for you, this article would be full of crap. -- Crazyknight 10:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Fair use

Looking around, you seem like the sort of guy who would know this sort of thing. I'm looking to pick up a few images for my articles but don't want to get into trouble. Is a pic available on a free website able to be used? For instance, if I find a picture of Marcus Davis on his official site, can I use it without getting into trouble? The policies on this site are very detailed but I find it hard to get a succinct yes/no out of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Crazyknight 23:26, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Bonnie Lake

The reason I PROD'd it was not because it was insignificant. Indeed, it is notable. It was a severely badly written article by someone who had written 3 or 4 nonsense articles that day - presumably in an attempt to "game the system". Bubba hotep 23:27, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Your comment on my talk page.

First of all, you are willfully misinterpreting WP:IAR. Please read it again, specifically the part about "improving or maintaining Wikipedia". The article you voted keep for was nothing but a sub-stub. It had no possibility of ever being anything but a stub stub. Your use of WP:IAR did not improve Wikipedia and impeded it's maintenance. You tell me that we're not a bureaucracy...but ironically, that guideline is talking about following the spirit of a policy, which you did not do with your vote or in invoking IAR.

Second, on a broader note, it's the responsibility to follow all policy except and until they are harming the Wikipedia, and the important policies are not to be ignored except in the most dire situations. Consider WP:OR. You find a "great article" that's completely OR. Are you going to ignore IAR simply because you think it should be kept? If following policy is common sense as opposed to voting IAR simply because 85% of the time you think articles should be kept, then I cannot see a rational reason why you would be surprised you got called on it.

Finally, the reason I said that to you was that I'm very tired of people deciding that since they think articles need to be kept, they'll simply vote "keep" on anything they like, without actually assessing the possibility that the article contributes nothing to Wikipedia. I'm very tired of people mouthing policy at me -- incorrectly, and basically looking at it from a very biased POV -- and I'm very tired of people telling me it's better to keep than delete. So that in the future you know how to vote on an article like the one you mentioned, here is the relevant section from WP:DICDEF. If you wonder why I'm quoting this at you like you're incapable of reading it or as if you don't know it, it's because of the fact that you decided to whine at me on Thanksgiving. I'm going back to eat more food.

Nearly everyone here agrees that in general, stub articles are to be encouraged, provided they meet certain criteria. There are likewise some differences of opinion as to whether just definitions are acceptable for beginning an article. If you want to make everybody happy, add a little encyclopedic information of some sort —don't just give the meanings of the word. Instead, they should simply take the entry to be a "stub" article, which will be expanded later. That's probably OK, in most cases, but some view this as either a violation of the WINAD policy, or otherwise meritous of deletion. Deletion is a necessary process on Wikipedia and articles which do not meet minimum reasonable criteria can be deleted rather quickly —for some, the potential of a stub is not as important as the fact that it's not yet an article.

Moreover, there are plenty of senses of terms that aren't of interest in an encyclopedia. They would be in a dictionary but Wikipedia isn't a dictionary. So it makes no sense to describe those other, mere dictionary senses of terms in Wikipedia articles (unless, somehow it is important to describe those senses in order to clarify the main topic of the article).

While on the one hand we are all certainly delighted that Wikipedia is growing in breadth, some (but not all) of us view breadth at the expense of the very notion of what we are working on--an encyclopedia--as a bad idea.

PRIDE edits

Hey dude, I just wanted to let you know I didn't mean to edit your stuff out of the PRIDE page recently - I was just reverting stuff by the now anon user formerly known as Too Cool and T00C00L.

He goes by 203.76.124.202 (and 203.76.96.12 ) now. I reported his sock puppetry to the admin that blocked him here, but since his edits these days seem less hostile, and seem to be made with good intentions (mostly adding "incomplete" templates and such) he is letting it go for now.

But if you start to have problems with him reverting or blanking stuff out or editing your messages, or whatever(like he used to), report him, because after being blocked, technically I don't think he is allowed to edit anymore. ANd we both know he can be persistant... I do think he is pretty harmless at his current pace over the past few months, but judging from the ammount of stuff he edited in the past, who knows what will happen.... keep up the good work on MMA pages! Skeletor2112 07:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up and for straightening out the situation for me. I'll keep an eye out on Too Cool (I haven't kept up on him, thanks for the update) and I hope the note I left on the talk page will make sure that point doesn't get reinserted later. hateless 08:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Cool, I also see that you do a lot of the assesment stuff - I was hoping to plow through some of those unassesed articles, and wondered what the main criteria you judge stuff on is. (article size, prose, citations, records?) Articles I've worked on like Don Frye, Mark Coleman, Bas Rutten, Justin Eilers, ect all have a decent ammount of info, but were mostly written before I used citations...

I am currently working to elevate a couple of articles in the other project I work in here, Wikipedia:WikiProject Metal, but I really would like to get a few GA and FA articles in the MMA project. The metal project had a collaberation of the month thing, where project members band together to elevate one article per month, but there weren't enough dedicated editors at the metal project then. I do think there are 4 or 5 guys here in project MMA that are dedicated enough, though - and somthing like this may be useful. Skeletor2112 08:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

A collabration of the week/month I think would be a great idea, it does seem we have enough dedicated editors for it to be effective. As for assessment, I've mainly judged articles based on their length, since it appears to me that none of the articles in WP:MMA are good enough (or have enough sourcing) for GA status, and my thought is that sourcing is mainly what separates articles in the higher grades. Generally, I don't grade articles that are badly written, nor articles that seem to be on a border, I suppose I'm sticking to non-controversial grades. Or, if they already been graded for another project, I'd use the same grade for the WP:MMA tag since the whole encyclopedia uses the same grading criteria. I suppose now that I think more about it, it's a higher priority to get MMA and a few other articles (perhaps UFC) to GA and A status before we get into sorting the rest of them out. hateless 21:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

As I pointed out to Hateless in a comment above, inclusionism shorn of any desire to improve what is kept is worthy of only derision. It *is* a joke without the desire to expand. --Elaragirl^Talk|Count 22:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of UFC 69

UFC 69 is not a rumor. The UFC has officially announced the event, including the proposed rubber match between GSP and Hughes which was removed from the card... they also officially announced it would be the first event in Canada, later to state it wouldn't happen there, so instead they will move into Texas... with all the buzz around the event and the currently factual data it is not a speculative article Thesaddestday 17:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Nick Diaz vandalism

The Nick Diaz page has become heavily vandalized by a series of posts... I'm not sure exactly how to revert it back to its original form so I figured you might be able to help with it, or possibly help me learn how to do it. Thanks Thesaddestday 11:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Debate about links

--Ivantrembow 07:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)Hi Hateless, this is Ivan Trembow. I just saw the note that you posted in January on the WikiProjects page and I have posted my response to the links issue on that anonymous user's Talk page. It seemed like the user was making a lot of false assumptions and I wanted to clear those up. Thank you very much for your help in trying to explain to that Wikipedia user that I'm not a spammer. If it weren't for you making those posts on his or her Talk page, there would have been none because I only get on Wikipedia every month or two and I haven't even been aware that the links were removed until now.

In the meantime, the reason I got on Wikipedia tonight was because it felt like it was time for the monthly or bi-monthly update where I add links if I recently wrote articles which contain relevant info that isn't already on the appropriate Wikiprojects pages. And there has been lots of good stuff in the last couple months, ranging from extensive notes on the UFC's record-breaking business levels on a couple different fronts, to very in-depth coverage of a number of recent Nevada State Athletic Commission disciplinary hearings for fighters (mostly drug-related), to fighters who have tested positive for one banned substance or another but haven't had their disciplinary hearings yet, to ratings reports for UFC broadcasts on Spike TV, it's a fair amount of very pertinent and relevant material.

But I'm wondering if I should even add the links for these things because that guy or gal who deleted the links before might just delete them again, and I also don't want to interfere with the process if the issue of the links is still an undecided issue. So what I'm going to do now unless I'm specifically told by you to do otherwise, is to just not post the links for now and wait to see how or if this whole issue is resolved. I'll try to get on Wikipedia more frequently over the next several days to check in on whether or not anything further has been resolved. Thank you. --Ivantrembow 07:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion from Pride fc page

Why do you keep deleting my addition to the pride fc page? I cant really provide sources for the critics because its not like an official mma news/website writes articles based on what the fans are saying, it is confined to forums and chat rooms. Are you telling me that you dont agree that there are critics to the changes or do you just not like the fact that there are, coz it does seem that you seem to have some kind of ufc bias or something as shown by your continual change of the pride shockwave event attendence figure despite the fact that you have a flawed source. Do you not feel it is important to let people know that there are some people out there that dont agree with the changes as this is a huge moment in pride and mmas history, i just feel we've got to show all sides especially as it could effect the future success of pride fc. I understand you are trying to keep the page clean etc, but i think you are being overly harsh in my case but i will welcome any advice on how i can get my addition on the page without you deleting it, thanks.

Dear user, My sincere symp[athys for my past digressions —Preceding unsigned comment added by Santini2007 (talk • contribs)

UFC 76

Thanks for the input on that, I'm just REALLY confused about it. I figured the LA Times article's pretty good as a reliable source for the date of the event itself. My point is just if you TRIED to bring any future wrestling event to AfD, it would be a Speedy Keep, which doesn't make sense (especially looking at Royal Rumble (2008) which has NOTHING in the way of arena, matches, etc.) I'd just think with an event confirmed and the point I brought up from WP:NOT#CBALL (and I see your point too with the part you quoted me!), the article should stand. That being say, those 2 points seem to contradict each other. Wildthing61476 21:28, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

I just don't believe there is a reliable source as has the time, place, name, etc., which is why I'm on the delete side for now. Then again, in my experience, the UFC also is hard to pin down on a place and location at times (UFC 65 was supposed to be in Vegas, UFC 69 was originally Montreal), and even UFC's president tends to jump the gun on announcements, so that probably explains why I want such tight sourcing. You're right, CBALL 1 and 2 seem inconsistent, but my interpretation on it is that events must meet both points to make it. hateless 21:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Kimbo Slice

Hey; I've supplied three reputable sources showing that Kimbo's fight against Ray Mercer was an exhibition but one user (MMAfan2007) insists my sources aren't enough and is telling me I have to supply a .pdf from the NJSAC. He keeps re-adding the record. Is there anything you can do to help me, or anywhere you can point me to, to help relieve this situation? Thanks. Thesaddestday 21:17, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

UFC 73

I just wanted to thank you for reformatting the page to look like most of the other UFC listing. It looks so much better now. I wanted to do it myself, but am still fairly new and wasn't sure I could do the whole thing myself. Also, I changed the text of the Nogueira fight to reflect exact statements made, hopefully alleviating the former need for the "citations needed" tag. What I originally put was what I felt was insinuated by the things Rogan and Goldberg were saying, but after you added that tag I realized I should just stick to what was actually said. Again, thanks for doing the reformatting work, and for indirectly drawing attention to something I should have made clearer in the first place. Dhart1983 22:33, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey hateless. You are more familiar with Wiki than I am so I figured you could help (once again) point me in the right direction. If you go to my talk page, at the bottom you can see MMAfan2007 left me a warning thing regarding my edits on Kimbo Slice's page (regarding his record: he keeps changing it to 1 win, though I showed it's exhibition). Now I am wrongfully being warned by him. What steps can I take to "protect" myself and bring his actions to attention? Thanks. Thesaddestday 22:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:International-fight-league.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:International-fight-league.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Tuf-3-finale.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tuf-3-finale.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

Universidade da Luta

Hi, can you restore Universidade da Luta? It was deleted via G4 but there was no AFD. I can assure you the article does pass WP:N. hateless 02:49, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

No. As an immediate recreation of deleted material, it's an immediate speedy candidate. You're welcome to request a WP:DRV of the initial deletion. (I currently have no view concerning the article.) - jc37 02:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, G4 only applies to articles that went through a deletion debate, it does not apply towards articles that were speedy deleted. Articles as such can be re-speedied, however, provided they still meet the criteria for which they were originally speedied for (or any other speedy criteria, for that matter). I haven't looked at the article so I don't know if that is the case or not, but G4 shouldn't be the reason for re-deleting an article that hasn't gone through XfD or an endorsement at DRV. VegaDark (talk) 03:00, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

As User:VegaDark, I'm sure, knows, I respect him and his opinion. (And my apologies for apparently mis-applying G4.) However, this just has too many "ifs" and "possiblys" for me. (Noting also that this is a stub concerning a local boxing gym that was opened in January of 2008.) I won't oppose if some other admin wishes to restore, but I still would rather see discussion with the initial deleting admin, or a WP:DRV, or, possibly, both. - jc37 10:46, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ultimatefighter.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ultimatefighter.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

I'd say it would be jargon. If you look at the dictionary's entry on submitting, there isn't a definition that would work with the way it is meant in your examples. On top of that, one of the definitions is clearly stating the opposite of the intended meaning above, that is, submitting is surrendering, as in what the loser would do in a submission. For a general audience pub like Wikipedia, I think avoiding "submitting" would be advisable given it's ambiguity. As a side note, Sherdog.com, imo, has the worst english of any MMA site on the web. hateless 10:29, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation, definitely see your point. Would you object to changing it to the imo more clear; "defeating all three opponents by submission"? "Subduing" just don't translate over to how I was interpreting "submitting". Might just be me of course :) --aktsu ^(t / c) 18:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

That should be fine, subduing is a vague term in this context. hateless 06:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 01:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

RE: The_Stranger_(newspaper)#Notable_contributing_writers

The reason I tagged this section is that the first two paragraphs are the only ones that cite sources. The following six paragraphs describe four more Stranger writers, plus six freelance writer, and the fictional ombudsman, but none of the statements about these people has any citations for support. The tag I used says "This article does not cite any references or sources," which is the closest tag I know of. If there is a more precise tag you can use when most of one section in unreferenced I could use it, but otherwise I think it needs to remain. Some of what is there looks like original research.--Dbratland (talk) 23:20, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I re-tagged the section to match your concerns. Sorry, I removed the tag originally because the problems were not obvious for me. For future reference, the set of cleanup tags are referenced at WP:TC. hateless 06:33, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Ufc74poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ufc74poster.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MBisanz ^talk 22:33, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi

An editor that expressed concerns before now completely ignores the sources and wants to say which sources are valid and which isn't. This in no way helps with the wiki article. Please have a say here:Talk:Strikeforce Sea888 (talk) 23:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of International Sport Combat Federation

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is International Sport Combat Federation. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Sport Combat Federation (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:UFC 66 Poster.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:UFC 66 Poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 21:00, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassador needed

Hi! My name is Annie Lin - I'm the Campus Team Coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm contacting you because you're listed as a resident of San Francisco, and we're currently looking for a friendly Wikipedian to teach students in a University of San Francisco class how to use/edit Wikipedia. This is a role titled the "Wikipedia Campus Ambassador," and you'll basically be doing in-class presentations about Wikipedia, running Wikipedia labs/workshops, and in general providing face-to-face Wikipedia help for the professor and the students in the class. The time commitment is about 3-5 hours a week (with variations throughout the semester), and for this particular University of San Francisco class, most of the workload will be between March and May.

Please let me know if you're interested!

Thanks. Annie Lin (Campus Team Coordinator, Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 19:18, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Wec logo.jpg

Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia:

• File:Wec logo.jpg

You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Message delivered by Theo's Little Bot (opt-out) 21:01, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 6, at Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW Seattle

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts. We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor. Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required! RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm

For more info see the meetup page for Art+Feminism.	Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color. This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent. Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates. When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, Washington 98105 Who: Everyone is welcome. What to bring: A laptop and power cord.

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos

First Hill, Seattle, c. 1903, showing intersection of Columbia St and Summit Ave, Seattle, a panorama built from three Asahel Curtis photographs.

In the Seattle area? Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5 PM

For more info see the meetup page for Art+Feminism.

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women. Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. RSVP through this Facebook event link. When: Saturday, Apr. 6, 2019, 1–5 PM Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, WA 98105 Event Sponsors: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, School of Art + Art History + Design Event Page: Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon Parking: Free parking is normally available on campus after 12pm on Saturdays.

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Womxn Artists of the Pacific Northwest

Calendar page Jacob Lawrence Gallery — Calendar | School of Art + Art History + Design | University of Washington When Saturday, Nov. 16, 2019, 1 – 5 p.m. Campus location Art Building (ART) Campus room Jacob Lawrence Gallery Event types Special Events, Student Activities, Workshops Event sponsors Jacob Lawrence Gallery, School of Art + Art History + Design with support from Wikipedia and Art+Feminism Facebook event page www.facebook.com/events/2475807515865167/ Description Free parking is normally available on campus after 12pm on Saturdays. Check the Gallery's website for information about getting there. The ‘Big Four,’ or the four white male artists that comprised the Northwest School, were the subject of the famous 1953 LIFE magazine article, "Mystic Painters of the Northwest": Guy Anderson, Kenneth Callahan, Morris Graves, and Mark Tobey. Each of these artists have robust pages on Wikipedia. However, key female-identifying artists from this time such as Margaret Gove Cafferman — who Mark Tobey cited as an influence on his work — lack Wikipedia articles. To help address the imbalance of representation on Wikipedia, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon focused on female-identifying artists of the Pacific Northwest. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, editing tutorials, books, and lists of artists will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event.
