Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Dillian Whyte. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. – ².O.^Boxing 16:38, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Dillian Whyte vs. Alexander Povetkin. – ².O.^Boxing 16:41, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

You are not a moderator. You have threatened a user on Wikipedia due to you disliking the fact of me correcting your mistakes. MrRapide (talk) 16:50, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

It's not a threat, it's a standard template for disruptive editing. To the point of your edits; the official result was announced as a "technical count out", it's clearly heard. You say the result was announced incorrectly, however, per the BBBofC's (the authority that sanctioned the fight) rules and regulations: A Referee shall have the power to interrupt the count where he considers that a fallen Boxer is in need of urgent medical attention and in such cases the opponent shall be declared the winner by a technical count out (T.C.O.) (seen here, see subsection 3.33.3). The count had already been initiated by the timekeeper, the referee interrupted said count and deemed Whyte in need of urgent medical attention. Technical count out, AKA, technical knockout. The result announced (by direction of a BBBofC official) was correct. BoxRec, as they so often do, have it wrong. They've changed that particular result from TKO to KO multiple times. BoxRec is just like Wikipedia, they have volunteer editors. And those editors are in dispute as to what result they should record. But the fact remains, per the BBBofC, it's a TKO. Please stop changing it. Cheers. – ².O.^Boxing 17:07, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Wrong again, the fact is that it was the incorrect result. The fact that you admire the boxer does not mean it resulted in a TKO. So no threat or Wikipedia page edit will change the facts. MrRapide (talk) 17:15, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

Go and cry about it to the BBBofC. It's their ruling, not mine. And per that rule, the correct result was announced. – ².O.^Boxing 17:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

This is hilarious. You stand by your mistake. MrRapide (talk) 18:25, 1 April 2021 (UTC)

The BBBofC sanctioned the fight. The BBBofC decides the result. I've quoted the exact ruling–directly from the BBBofC website–which explains when a TCO (TKO) result is given, thereby confirming, indisputably, why the (correct) result was announced as a TCO. It baffles me how you're finding this hard to understand lol I'm guessing it's because you think a KO literally means a boxer must be unconscious. This is England, and in England, under the auspices of the BBBofC, a KO result is only handed out when a boxer fails to rise before the referee completes his count of ten. The referee did not count. It's not a KO. It doesn't matter what BoxRec says (which per the disclaimer at the bottom of the website, "data may be incomplete/inaccurate", would not hold up as a reliable source in a wider discussion), it doesn't matter what your mate's nan says, it doesn't matter what Dave from the pub says, it matters what the MC says at the end of the fight. Especially when it's corroborated by the sanctioning organisations own website. There's nothing more to discuss. It's a TKO. – ².O.^Boxing 19:26, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
