Super Middleweight champ

Hi - sorry if I am typing this in the wrong place - but why are many people under the impression that Joe Calzaghe is world IBF Super Middleweight Champion? - http://www.sportinglife.com/boxing/news/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=boxing/06/03/05/BOXING_Calzaghe_Lead.html - I don't understand why there are different stories - and given that there appear to be, why you opted for Bute over Calzaghe? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbeaumont (talk • contribs) 14:35, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boxing champs

Hi Claude, since you and me are basically the only regular editors to the article, I thought I'd let you know about this—I don't know about how fast it's updated, but it's certainly been useful for me as I don't have to troll through all of BoxRec's fights for a certain date anymore. east.718 08:43, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boxing

Negative, he hasn't vacated regardless of that, nor the OMB has stripped it he's going to do it however but hasn't done it, he is prancing around with both titles, pretty much like Floyd Mayweather who wasn't striped of his 147 title when he won another aganist De la Hoya, in that article he is even talking about defending both if possible (that's a big "if") but he's inclining to vacate the 105 one, however until he vacates the ist should reflect he is actually holding both as was the case with Mayweather. - Caribbean~H.Q. 18:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have conections in the OMB? regardless of that it would make sense, now all he is talking about is unification in the 108, as soon as its out on the press feel free to take it out. - Caribbean~H.Q. 19:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I always though that if a super champion went up in weight his status as super champion didn't go up with him since it was a different division than the one he did the previous defenses in, I guess we learn new things everyday. - Caribbean~H.Q. 20:42, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hey no worries, Wilfredo Vázquez Jr. will beat both of their asses badly one day, there's no avoiding destiny, regards. - Caribbean~H.Q. 02:46, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


"Say no more, but I didnt know that Donaire Vacated his IBO title? could you send me a link or so? wherein i could find an article that says Donaire Vacated his IBO title? PEACE!" PS i want to join Wiki's Boxing Group. -OnlyonePacman | thats sad...I hope I could help wikipedia on uploading unknown boxer's pictures. but thanks anyway peace!

Hello! Here's the link to the IBO champion's page: http://www.iboboxing.com/champions.html

I don't know if he vacated his title or was stripped, but he isn't the IBO champ anymore because they took him out of their list, I think because of the fact the he will move up in weight and next will box José López for the WBO junior bantamweight title. And in the top ten pound-4-pound list here, we list of course only the titles the boxer actually hold, not the ones they once held during their career... If you want to join WiKiProject:Boxing, you are welcome. Please simply add User WikiProject Boxing to your profile page (With two opening accolades to start and two closing ones to finish). Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 13:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

-well sir, in that case he will also vacate his IBF title for sure right? but he's still on the P4P list. oh well thanks for adding me in the WikiBoxing group.have a nice day claude! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.53.5.32 (talk) 01:18, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but here's a link to an article that states he vacated his IBO belt but still holds his IBF belt. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=20087 claudevsq (talk) 08:09, 26 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]


-hey mate here iam again, do you know when did Donaire vacated his IBO title?, im trying to edit some page but I couldnt due to the fact that I dont know when did he vacated..I mean WHEN..tnx! PEACE!

-Pacman —Preceding unsigned comment added by OnlyonePacman (talk • contribs) 11:50, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't know, but it must have been very shortly after his last match, I'd say, about Monday, April 21st. The IBO took him out of their champion's page on April 24th, 2009. Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 12:41, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: names

No worries. Boxrec is notoriously incomplete for a lot of things - it's a good quick reference for very high-profile boxers, but is best avoided for other things, especially Mexican and eastern European boxers. east.718 at 05:29, September 18, 2007

Re:

In both cases we should just sit and wait until something actually happens... I appreciate you going through the trouble of contacting The Ring, but we can't really do anything (see the policies on verifiability and crystalballing) until a source somewhere else states that it's already happened. east.718 at 13:38, September 26, 2007

See WP:CRYSTAL... I've been caught by this too. It may be impending that he will become the Ring champ, but he isn't until they actually publish something to that effect. east.718 at 17:31, September 30, 2007
I must not have been around for those title changes... either way, it's not a pressing matter and an incredibly lame thing thing to edit war over. New comments go at the bottom of talk pages, by the way. =) east.718 at 17:44, September 30, 2007
Well, the difference there is that the IBF title is tangible, as soon the belt changes hands we can update it. The Ring's championship is only an honorary appellation that changes hands only when the magazine updates their site or releases a new issue. east.718 at 17:48, September 30, 2007
I posted on WP:AN/I a while back but an admin didn't respond... and unfortunately, the page isn't vandalized frequently enough to warrant indefinite semi-protection. I can still try though. east.718 at 18:38, October 5, 2007

British Boxers

Since the Union Jack is still there, why complain about my fixings? GBR stands for Great Britain, where's UK stands for United Kingdom. The former (GBR) suggests the exclusion of Northern Ireland. GoodDay 18:15, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've been away for a few hours and have decided that if UK/GBR is going to be that big of deal with you guys (and myself), then I'll let it go. Bringing politics into sports (as I have) is a rocky road, one that's not neccessary. If you guys want to keep GBR, so be it, or if you want to restore England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so be it. I must admit though, I am a little surprised by the reaction to UK. Oh well, can't win'em all. GoodDay 20:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
PS- Sorry about the stink I caused. Your guys are quite correct about GBR usage by IOC and ISO. Forgive my naivety and stubborness, here's hoping the boxing organizations reunite, so as there's one true champion (per division). GoodDay 21:58, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: VK

That wasn't really civil. :( Anyway, with Klitschko still hovering on the brink of activity, and the media still reporting that he is champ emeritus, I thought it would be OK. I checked the WBC site and saw you were right though. east.718 at 04:16, 10/21/2007

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given.

Re: Anthony Zinni

I will say this again...

You are free to upload new images. However, if you do upload a new image, please upload it under a file name that will not overwrite an existing image and change the file manually in the article if you want to change it. You are overwriting different images which can be used in articles. And, as I have already said, the image you are uploading over the 3-star portrait of Zinni has already been uploaded as Image:Anthony Zinni.jpg, so please do not upload duplicates. Try to find out if the images you are uploading are the same as existing images. If an image on the Commons or Wikipedia is identical, but lower res or poorly cropped, for example, then you should feel free to upload over it. However, you are deleting other people's work by overwriting different images.

Also, the purpose of the Wikimedia Commons is to create a repository of images, so having older photo portraits around is a good thing.

Again, if you feel an article should have a more recent image of someone, upload it under a file name that will not overwrite an existing image and change the file manually in the article. I appreciate that you are willing to upload images, but let's try to do it in the best way possible. Agreed? Please let me know if you still have questions. Thanks. --Tom (talk - email) 15:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for understanding. Again, let me know if you have any questions about uploading images to the Commons. --Tom (talk - email) 02:19, 25 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"We" - the people that got featured list status for that list - as for example Maya Levy, the admins East718, CaribbeanHQ, myself... as for your northern Ireland flag, I don't give a damn personally, but you will see it reverted by someone else sooner or later... bet? claudevsq (talk) 13:02, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Whats the Flag of Northern Ireland?? If you can explain that to me then you can put it on every page on wikipedia with my blessing. When there are issues that you dont know about my father always told me it was best to keep your mouth shut at let people think you are an idiot rather than opening it and confirming the fact.
I also see you have reverted my edit without explaination or an edit summary. If you are trying to piss someone off and enflame an edit war then you are going about it the right way! However, instead of a revert war I suggest we avoid that and next time you get an itchy trigger finger then you take it to the talk page of the article so that it sorted out amicably there instead.
I have moved the discussion here so that it makes more sense and is kept in contexts. Can you please keep the discussion in one place, thank you.--Vintagekits (talk) 14:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IBO

Are you blind? It was "Owain" that changed "ENG" and "WAL" to "UK" - I just changed "UK" to "GBR" - see ISO and IOC conventions, and don't talt to me that way, mothafucka. claudevsq (talk) 16:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep all replies and messeges together - I have your talk page on my watchlist so I know when you reply, thanks. I am not talking about Owains edit I am talking about this edit. Please explain that.--Vintagekits (talk) 16:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE KEEP ALL REPLIES ON THIS PAGE - IF YOU DONT THEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLLOW THE CONVERSATION - I HAVE THIS TALK PAGE ON MY WATCH LIST SO KNOW WHEN YOU REPLY
If you dont understand it then why dont you just ask instead of changing it. If I dont understand something then I ask instead of getting involved in something I dont know about. If you do want to know why it was done then I suggest you read the following articles - 1. Good Friday Agreement, 2. Flag of Northern Ireland and 3. Northern Ireland flag issue - also note that there is no flag in the infobox of the Northern Ireland article - there is a reason for that! Kelly and Magee self identify as Irish not British, similar to that as John Duddy another boxer born in Northern Ireland - per the GFA they can be legally recognised as Irish not British. Now, I have outline the articles that you need to read to understand this issue - if you read them then you will understand, if you dont want to read them then please stop making incorrect edits. Any questions, just ask.--Vintagekits (talk) 16:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because you should add the flags instead of replacing them, if you don't mind. Or, if you want to replace, please ask at least Caribbean what he thinks about it. He's an admin, I#m not, and I think he should be asked because I consider this a major change... claudevsq (talk) 17:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I read the discussion again now... Oh man... I think I should retire for good and let it all to someone else... ;-) claudevsq (talk) 18:51, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If you read the discussion then why the fuck are you still making edits like that? Listen, your work with regards updating the IBO and Ring P4P is appriciated. I just cant understand why you seem unable to have a discussion with other editors and abide by concensus. If you cant do that then I wont miss you if you do decide to leave for good - if you can then good.--Vintagekits (talk) 18:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to like the word "Fuck"... I understood the discussion the way that Caribbean clearly pointed out that the fighters' country of birth should be used, just like BoxRec... But I won't change the flags back, don't worry... claudevsq (talk) 18:56, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thats not what the conversation state - and that its definately NOT what BoxRec use either! And if thats what you thought how come you left Gairy St. Clair with an Aussie flag. I'm glad you have finally seen sense over this issue.--Vintagekits (talk) 19:27, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, you are right concerning BoxRec... Of course, they use nationality, and not place of birth... I don't know what I thought before, maybe I was confused... claudevsq (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I am a bit curious over this edit [3] I had changed it to the article's name a few hours before to avoid the redirect, the article's name excludes the "Angel" part based on naming convention, because he is more commonly known just as "Miguel Cotto" (he began using the 'Angel' part more frecuently around a year and a half ago), is there any particular reason bhind the edit? - Caribbean~H.Q. 03:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Calzaghe

The Ring definitely only ever have one title per boxer - see, for example, Mayweather, who was The Ring's junior welterweight champion until he moved up to welterweight - at that point, the junior welterweight title was vacated. Chances are they will vacate the super-middleweight title and bump Calzaghe to light-heavyweight, but until they update their rankings it's speculation, really.

There's no need to exaggerate, I reverted it twice. I did so because I thought they were from the same date, because the source of the original image said so. Someone seems to have changed this.

British boxers' flags at the Ring pound-for-pound article

The Ring per se states their countries as "Wales" and "England" and not "United Kingdom" or "Great Britain" so we should abide by The Ring, at least on that article. –Howard the Duck 04:23, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you Howard - no original research.
The Ring itself relies up on BoxRec for the records, even though they have some wrong after their page redesign. I am by the way a member of The Ring Rating's advisory panel. See Ring online page. I once agreed with other editors not to divide countries into different parts, because then, we could as well say a boxer is not U.S., but from New York, Maryland and so on... claudevsq (talk) 13:04, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That make no sense!--Vintagekits (talk) 15:41, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We'd only do that if The Ring per se does it too. –Howard the Duck 16:38, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look, it seems you're hell bent on applying your own understanding to the issue when several others disagreed with you. I suggest from refrain from reverting to your version and talk it out at the talk page. –Howard the Duck 16:45, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well said - Claude usually isnt the best when it comes to discussing issue with people who dont exactly agree with everything he says.--Vintagekits (talk) 16:48, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If Claude reverts again, I'll report him to the authorities. Unless The Ring changes the countries' names, we should abide by what they say, no matter how zany it may be. –Howard the Duck 17:04, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Look, we don't want you to go. We just want you to explain. The Ring uses Wales and England as countries, not UK/Great Britain. We must abide with what they use, no matter how silly it is. –Howard the Duck 05:07, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I know that, and I didn't change the flags 10 mins. ago, I just changed the footnote because there's no need for it, I think. And you gave me a warning for that which makes me sad, really...
The edit says otherwise: along with your "minor" edit, you changed the flags and removed the footnote. Now I really don't care about the footnote that much -- I just added it there to denote that the flags used came from The Ring per se, hence to avoid using GBR's flags -- but I still have to hear a good argument from you on why we should deviate from The Rings reference. In fact, I doubt if anyone can think of a good argument against using The Rings reference, unless they per se change it. –Howard the Duck 05:13, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now, I know that arguments could be bothersome, but don't let them get to you, if you don't want to discuss with a certain user directly leave me a note and I can try to find a "happy medium". I will try to keep the list updated after Christmas, but in February things will get busy. Until then, just relax and let me know if you change your mind, it would be a shame losing someone as responsible as you. Anyway, until the next stanza, farewell. - Caribbean~H.Q. 23:30, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree, claude is a welcome addition. However, if he is going to throw a bitch hissy fit everytime some disagrees with him then I wont cry if he doesnt return.--Vintagekits (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
The list looks fine now, I'll talk to him if he continues reverting. The Vázquez thing is just silly, he isn't holding any title at the moment. The point of the "champ emeritus" label is so he can get an immediate title shot once he returns (march?) in order to set up that superfight against López in June. Pacquiao is already in negotiations with Hatton, so it was going to happen sooner or later. He isn't going back to 135, keeping him listed there until a official announcement is made seems sensible but quite pointless. And speaking of Pacman, what's with all the insanity that's going around? A match against Cotto? Has Bob finally lost it? - Caribbean~H.Q. 08:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The Hatton fight is dead set, I was commenting that word on the street is that Top Rank will be pushing for a Cotto-Pacquiao fight at some point of 2009, which seems sort of ridiculous. - Caribbean~H.Q. 12:10, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: IBO world champions

I see you showed that Silence Mabuza, relinquished his bantamweight title - is this to let Bernard Dunne to fight for it.--Vintagekits (talk) 12:27, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, VK, I don't know who is going to fight for it - it just shows on the IBO's homepage that he isn't in the list of champions anymore, but I remember now, I think he will next fight IBF champion Joseph Agbeko. Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 12:29, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Bernard Dunne from Ireland will fight Ricardo Córdoba from Panama on March 21st for Córdoba's regular WBA superbantamweight title. claudevsq (talk) 12:56, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Midnight fights

We seem to have another one of those two-day fights, this one concluded at 12:10 (ET, which also goes for PR, where it took place). I believe that we should list it as March 29, since the announcer actually said something along the lines of "the new champion... in his birthday...", thoughts? - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:21, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, actually, we should list it as March 28th, because the fight was scheduled for March 28th, and that's the date BoxRec uses, and that's the date we also should use, even if the fight started or/and ended after midnight. Otherwise, we should have to change a lot of dates... No, as a guideline, we display always the date the match was scheduled for... By the way, congrats on the new Portorican champ... That makes six, five of them in the WBO... Do you think the invasion ends here for the moment? ;-) claudevsq (talk) 08:17, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I will need to fix a few dates then... I don't think so, Morel is going to fight Montiel soon, Santiago wants another shot at Luevano and César Seda Jr. is moving up very fast in the WBA rankings, with his size, he will be a tough cookie in the light flyweight and flyweights. By the way, keep an eye on Carlos Negrón, he will be moving up in time, becoming a very technical and strong heavyweight. - Caribbean~H.Q. 20:45, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks... but I would not change the dates, I would rather use the dates the matches were scheduled for... even if a show goes past midnight, what if a match ends at about exactly midnight? Please, let the dates as they are... Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 07:29, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Don't worry, I meant these [4][5] dates. - Caribbean~H.Q. 11:00, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, OK... sorry! claudevsq (talk) 11:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Flag for Ola Afolabi on List of current world boxing champions

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Thank you.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 07:33, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see it absolutely the same way as you, but there have been so many discussions about flags, it doesn't seem helpful to have another one... claudevsq (talk) 11:06, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I assume that this is a war over if it should be a Nigerian, UK or USA flag. I havent seen where this discussion is - can someone point me in its direction. I recently saw an interview with him on Steve Bunce's Boxing Hour and Ola stated that he was born in the UK to Nigerian parents, he grew up in the UK and as a teenager was sent to Nigerian for a time as he was disruptive, he then moved back to the UK and later his brother invited him to join him in the USA so that he could turn pro. Ola considers himself British and travels on a British passport - therefore UK/England flag should be used. Hope that helps.--Vintagekits (talk) 10:39, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kent

That doesn't make sense. The Bestwick photo is dated as more recent than his official photo, but has less stars? The official photo clearly shows one silver and three bronze, and that photo is several years old. There is no way he has lost repeat awards of the Good Conduct Medal in the intervening years. And in any case, the Bestwick photo has two silver stars. It's fairly clear, and the photo is at a high enough resolution that you can see it pretty well. Also, when you consider how many years of service, it certainly makes sense that he rates two silver stars. I'm not sure where the Legion of Merit comes in, both photos show one award star. Same for the Sea service, the Bestwick photo shows one silver and three bronze, and while the older photo shows the same, one of the stars is obscured by his lapel. I'm not sure what you mean by your last sentance about "not having enough stars for both uniforms", but if you are implying that the Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps is walking around wearing an improper uniform... well, let's just say that I'd believe that as much as I believe that aliens landed in Times Square; and I find it far more likely that you didn't look at the photos closely enough. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 12:30, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have noticed that you are interested in the article Ring Magazine pound for pound. Please note that the article currently does not meet our criteria for a stand alone article WP:N.

Mattis

OK, those are pretty good refs, you should have cited them.

I also noticed that you have a tendancy to not work with tables very well, specifically in ribbon racks. If you think that you need to make a modification to an existing table, and you can't quite manage to make it look proper on your own, PLEASE drop me a message and I will help you out, rather than leaving a messed-up table. You could also try taking a look at User:Bahamut0013‎/ribbon workshop; it's all set up so that you merely have to copy/paste the tables in, rather than constantly tweaking it. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 10:04, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, that's a lot of questions.
As far as clasps versus stars go, you'll notice that in all images of an American wearing a NATO medal, he doesn't have a star unless he's recieved the award more than once. The sentance after the one you quoted reads "For U.S. Forces, service stars, indicate additional awards to the NATO Medal," [emphasis added], so I don't think any devices are necessary unless he'd recived a second award, which is not the case with Mattis.
Regarding the ICM: every single person who rates the ICM rates at least one service star, but I'm not comfortable adding stars unless we know the exact number. I can see the medal, but the suspension ribbon and any stars are obscured by the medal above it overlapping.
Regarding the combatant command badges, I know that some other editors have taken to removing them from several pages. I agree with this because they only wear that badge when they are acting as the commander. When they move on to another assignment, they cease to wear the badge. The prose of the text always notes the command they hold/held, so I figure that's good enough. If you feel strongly to adding it, I won't revert it, though I may fix it.
Regarding Petraus: I'm not sure why you are asking me, I haven't edit that article. I don't have a reference for his awards.
On Stéphane Abrial, the blue one on the bottom looks familiar, but I can't place it. For George W. Casey Jr., the angle makes it very difficult to see. I would ask User:Dandvsp, he's very familiar with foreign decorations, I'm sure he woud be able to help, and probably even produce an image if we don't have one already.
Regarding Eric T. Olson: I don't see that the image is particularly out of date. However, I did take a look through the site and I could not find anything useful, even in the CAC-enabled section (it's mostly training references).
Hope that answers your questions. Feel free to ask more if you need to. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 06:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Claude... I haven't run into you on any articles for a while... how are things? I gotta ask, are you the Wikipedia editor that The Ring has on their rating panel? If so, that's a pretty sweet gig to get out of editing... Take it easy, — east718 | talk | 10:04, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A couple years back, we had Thesaddestday, who was an MMA journalist, as well as another editor who was the boxing beat writer for a major US newspaper -- but it looks like both of them are long inactive... that's why I'm happy that we've now got a quantifiable expert working on the boxing articles here -- and a BoxRec editor too? -- congrats! — east718 | talk | 07:33, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:58, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unified champion

Hi,

Could you please discuss the Unified champion issue on the list's talk page?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 09:10, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stop edit warring. Please try to resolve this disagreement by discussion on the list's talk page so we can work towards a version that represents consensus. Alternatively, you could seek dispute resolution.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 23:07, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus was developed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Boxing#Super_champion_and_Unified_champion that the term unified champion should only be used if the boxer holds all the major belts. If you disagree, please discuss this on the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Boxing page or Talk:List_of_current_world_boxing_champions#Does_the_IBF_use_the_title_Unified_champion?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 21:00, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop adding "Unified champion" to the List of current world boxing champions. Repeatedly adding this rather than trying to resolve the issue by discussion is edit warring and is prohibited by Wikipedia policy.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 08:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of current world boxing champions. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

In particular, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue edit warring, you may be blocked from editing.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 08:58, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you

The Biography Barnstar
Thanks for all your help in editing United States service member pages. Keep up the great work! Bullmoosebell (talk) 19:16, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, in regards to the three unknown ribbons Charles H. Jacoby Jr., I've been searching, but to no avail. I've enlisted the assistance of some of my comrades, hopefully they can identify them.
Second, would you be opposed to removing the numeration of awards listed in the infobox of Charles H. Jacoby Jr.? Personally, I'm not a fan of seeing those numbers, they don't seem aesthetically pleasing (considering they tend to cause the award to have to continue on another line).
Third, How would you feel about different abbreviations the awards listed in the infobox of Charles H. Jacoby Jr. for visual aesthetics? Perhaps the abbreviations can be reflected as such;

CURRENT:
Defense Dist. Service Medal
Army Dist. Service Medal (2)
Defense Sup. Service Medal (3)
Legion of Merit
Bronze Star Medal (2)

  1. Removing the number of each award from infobox - The list of awards and decorations in the body of the page reflects said medals. The infobox may reflect "significant" medals the individual has been awarded. However, in my opinion, the infobox does not need to list all medals, nor the number of awards (for visual aesthetics)
  2. Abbreviating Defense to DoD (Department of Defense, the awarding authority), rather than abbreviating Distinguished to Dist.
  3. Not abbreviating Superior as Sup. - doing so displays ambiguity rather than abbreviation.
  4. Removing ARMY from Army Distinguished Service Medal - considering the recipient is in the Army, it is simply known as the Distinguished Service Medal, or DSM, and this practice is exercised through all US Military services, respectively).

CORRECTED:
DoD Distinguished Service Medal
Distinguished Service Medal
DoD Superior Service Medal
Legion of Merit
Bronze Star Medal

It can be difficult to select the correct language given this particular article's body information (abbreviations must be correct but can occasionally impede the aesthetics of the article). Also, military jargon can be misleading, sometimes officially correct, sometimes slang (Bronze Star Medal with Valor device = Bronze Star Valor/BSV, "That sailor was awarded the DSM and the DoD-DSM").

Claude, the Distinctive Unit Insignia is a temporary badge worn only while the service member is assigned to a particular unit. It is not a permanent award and comes off the uniform when the soldier leaves the unit. Thanks. --S. Rich (talk) 19:45, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, but why is he then still wearing it as AFRICOM commander? Just like Odierno, now Chief of Staff, is still wearing the DUI of 8th Field Artillery Regiment and so on...? Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 21:37, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
!! You're right. It looks like they are wearing unit crests (DUI). But [6] says they may not. They are allowed to wear their branch insignia. See Army_Service_Uniform#cite_note-47. Only what we see in the photos does not look like branch insignia. Also, they can wear Distinctive Regimental Insignia. See Army_Service_Uniform#cite_note-62. E.g., Ham was Infantry and Odierno was Field Artillery.
I do not see a good source that displays various DRI, so I can't answer the question. In any event, we do not have WP:RS that says they were awarded the 6th or 8th DUIs, so adding the info to the articles is either WP:OR or lacking WP:V. Good eye! Thanks.--S.

List of current world boxing champions Part 2

Why do you keep changing Brian Magee's nationality to British when it clearly states on his profile that he is Irish?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_world_boxing_champions#Super_middleweight_.28168_lb.2C_76.2_kg.29

BoxRec states he's Great Britain (from Northern Ireland): http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=14880&cat=boxer claudevsq (talk) 11:12, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Boxrec only lists fighters by what licence they have not strictly by nationality. There are multiple sources on his article proving that his nationality is Irish. Please respect the wikipedia rules. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wonkey Donkey (talk • contribs) 13:00, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We've had this discussion already years ago! Look it up, please! claudevsq (talk) 14:51, 12 July 2012 (UTC) I dont think we have. If you are not prepared to discuss the issue or to adhere to wikipedia policy please stop altering the List of current world boxing champions article please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wonkey Donkey (talk • contribs) 17:50, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Of course we have... See archive of the talk page of "List of current..." plus the discussion at WP:BOXING, under... I think discussions... BoxRec lists him as from NIR (born and lives in Northern ireland), and that's part of GBR, not IRE. claudevsq (talk) 17:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC) Maybe you dont understand the difference between nationality and living in a country. They are not the same, I know it is a complex issue especially for individuals from Northern Ireland as there are a special set of laws and multiple allegiances involved. Northern Ireland is not in Great Britain, it is in the United Kingdom. Individuals from Northern Ireland are equally citizens of the United Kingdom and Ireland. For further reading on that subject please read the Belfast Agreement. Finally, here is a reference stating he is Irish and also current Irish boxer of the year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wonkey Donkey (talk • contribs) 18:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But we ain't talking about the UK, Northern Ireland is part of Great Britain as are England, Scotland and Wales, but Ireland is a country on its own, independent, with its own money and everything... claudevsq (talk) 10:24, 14 July 2012 (UTC) Once again, I repeat myself Northern Ireland is NOT part of Great Britain it is a part of the United Kingdom, hence it is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The nationality of people from Northern Ireland is legally Irish, British or both as set out in the Belfast Agreement and recognised by both the Irish and British Government and the international community. Please make yourself aware of this if you wish to continue making those edits. In any event I have provided proof from sources that satisfy WP:RS that Magee is Irish. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wonkey Donkey (talk • contribs) 23:12, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I know you are right, they can be British OR Irish, but since BoxRec uses British, we should do so as well... We need a line to follow, and which other than BoxRec? Because otherwise, people will come up and say "yeah, Viloria's mother was filipino, and so, he should have the pinoy flag" and so on and so on... claudevsq (talk) 06:04, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But Boxrec doesnt list fighters by nationality. It is by "rating country". Boxrec is a British website and John Sheppard lists all boxers from Northern Ireland as British, even though everyone knows that the majority of boxers in Northern Ireland consider themselves Irish and are legally Irish because boxing is a bigger sport in that community in Northern Ireland. As for Viloria, his mother might be Filipino but his isnt unless he holds a Filipino passport and has changed his nationality. The same with Amir Khan, he is legally British not Pakistani, but Magee is legally Irish not British. I know you are an editor of boxrec but that is not a reason to be loyal to them here because they dont list boxers by nationality. We should follow WP:RS, and I have provided a source to prove Magee is Irish. Keep up the good work on the list, you have done a brilliant job over the years but this is an issue that you need to educate yourself on as it is a special set of circumstances. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wonkey Donkey (talk • contribs) 11:30, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You have no idea how much I self-educated myself over the years... claudevsq (talk) 21:01, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Brilliant, but you dont seem to be listening to reason, logic or adhering to WP:RS on this issue though and its becoming extremely frustrating.--Wonkey Donkey (talk) 21:09, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WBC Diamond Champions

You've twice reverted my changes on this section: here and here. I'm only doing so because it is worded wrong and uses capitals incorrectly—just bad grammar overall. So I have to ask, why do you insist on using poor English in an English-language Wikipedia article? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:16, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully that's sorted now. On your recommendation I've made sure to include the past and current holders of the title, as well as the image (now thumbnailed), all whilst ensuring that everything is correctly written. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:37, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Language

I noticed that you decided to completely revert my efforts in re-wording the section on The Ring magazine, without so much as a single word of explanation. As you've stated on your user page, your level of English is "near-native". I would therefore suggest that if someone—such as myself, a native English speaker—comes along and tries to help out by improving the language used on an English-language article, it would be beneficial to the readers for those changes to be upheld. If you disagree, I'd be very interested to hear your reasons for that. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 01:16, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just letting you know—once again—that I've added back the (extremely minor) punctuational changes I made to the list of current world boxing champions article earlier this week. In this case, the changes pertain to the use of "Jr." in a boxer's name: notice the comma and period in the articles for Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Roy Jones Jr. That is basic English, of which—with all due respect—you don't seem to quite grasp at the best of times. I would strongly recommend letting such corrections stay in the article, rather than you simply reverting them without explanation. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 04:33, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Names as in BoxRec, nothing to do with bad english".. really? Well then, one really should decide as to whether consistency should be maintained within the article. BoxRec is a poor benchmark of consistency: one moment they're using Juan Manuel Márquez (with the accent), the next it's Juan Manuel Marquez (without the accent), whilst Wikipedia uses Juan Manuel Márquez (with the accent). Same with Yoan Pablo Hernandez vs Yoan Pablo Hernández vs Yoan Pablo Hernández. Then we have Floyd Mayweather Jr. (with the period) vs Floyd Mayweather Jr (without the period) vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. (with the period again). See where I'm going with this? It's best to simply stick with Wikipedia's article naming conventions, as they're mostly correct anyway. No sense in confusing the readers. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 00:09, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Dots like in "Jr." disturb the system, that's why".. what system, exactly? According to whom? I haven't seen a consensus anywhere. Therefore I have to ask: why do you continuously use edit summaries to discuss things, rather than on our talk pages (like I've been trying to do here for many months now) or on the article's talk page? It makes communication difficult. Are you reluctant to do so? In which case, I'm going to ask for a third opinion to resolve the naming conventions used on the article.

Naming inconsistencies: take #2

It's me again. Yes, again. Hello. *knock knock* Anyone there? I know you are unlikely to respond to this, but I have requested a dispute resolution due to your having reverted my edits (as usual) twice in the space of a few hours: here and here. As always, I'd be keen to engage in some discussion regarding the naming inconsistencies of the list, but I'm starting to think you might actually be a robot rather than a human being. Prove me wrong? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:59, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's not good. You should understand that Wikipedia is not BoxRec. Wikipedia has nothing whatsoever to do with BoxRec. Wikipedia has its own style guidelines for a reason. My issue with the list of boxing champions article, which I've been trying to get through to you for nearly a year, is that BoxRec's naming conventions are inconsistent, and therefore should not apply on Wikipedia. I feel like I'm repeating myself over and over, but once again I'll explain:
  • Observe the Wikipedia article on Saúl Álvarez—that uses acute accents. His BoxRec bio, however, does not. Why, then, are you fine with using Saúl Álvarez but not Saul Alvarez, since you insist on sticking with BoxRec's style? You are not even following your own rules. Solution? Go with what Wikipedia says.
  • Even stranger still is your insistence on listing Oscar De La Hoya with an accent, as in Óscar De La Hoya, when his Wikipedia article makes no mention of it. Also, neither his BoxRec bio nor his BoxRec fight record use an accent. Solution? Go with what Wikipedia says.
  • Furthermore, observe the Wikipedia article for Floyd Mayweather Jr.—note the standard U.S. naming format of a comma and period for the "Jr" suffix, which is used all across Wikipedia. But then, his BoxRec bio and BoxRec fight record are totally inconsistent—one of them uses "Jr" whilst the other uses "Jr." Solution? Go with what Wikipedia says, not BoxRec.
  • Finally we come to Sergio Martínez. For some reason, you insist on keeping it listed as Sergio Gabriel Martínez, but that is inaccurate because the article no longer makes uses of his middle name—it just redirects. Most people familiar with him in boxing simply refer to him as Sergio Martínez. Once again, though, BoxRec has no consistency—his BoxRec bio makes use of his full name, but without any accents, whilst his fight record omits the middle name and still includes no accents. Solution? Go with what Wikipedia says, not BoxRec.
As I've said, you are effectively claiming ownership of the article by not allowing edits by other users to remain. On at least seven occasions I have attempted to make constructive edits for formatting, consistency and often basic spelling and language (some of which is poorly written, but you keep adding that back as well), and subsequently each time you have undone those edits without any valid explanation. That is not constructive, neither is it co-operative. I know you've done most of the work on the article, but you are supposed to work with others if the need arises. I'm trying to help out by making things consistent, so don't shoot me down just because they don't match up with some undefined rules on another site altogether. Let it be known that until you either engage in discussion at the dispute resolution page, I will keep on changing the names on the article to be consistent with Wikipedia rather than BoxRec until you allow them to stick. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 13:03, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Who cares if the accents create problems on BoxRec? That should have no bearing on this, since BoxRec is completely independent to Wikipedia and evidently uses different—not to mention inconsistent—naming standards, which even they themselves cannot get right, e.g. Juan Manuel Márquez/Juan Manuel Marquez. Wikipedia has currently established the spelling of the articles for Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Sergio Martínez as the way they are, so that's what should be followed. To do so otherwise would be inaccurate. Same goes for Oscar De La Hoya—why the need for an accent when neither Wikipedia nor your precious BoxRec uses it? I've never even seen it used in boxing publications. As for the flagicons – {{GER}} over {{DEU}}, {{SPA}} over {{ESP}} – the article is in English and should follow English abbreviations. One more thing, ever heard of an edit summary? It doesn't look like it. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:10, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So, after yet another wordless revert, we remain at a stalemate—you're not letting my changes stick despite having explained them to you repeatedly, and I disagree completely with your non-existent rationale in doing so. You claim to work for The Ring, the WBO and BoxRec, but I don't give a crap because Wikipedia has nothing to do with any them. You silently revert my edits, whilst I revert them back with lots of words to justify it. We can do this every day if you want, since it's just clicks of a mouse in the end. Granted, what we're both doing is edit warring in every sense of the word, except the "warring" is rather silent from your end; one thing of which I cannot be accused is a lack of trying to resolve all of this via discussion. It's what I've been doing for a year since the first time you reverted my edits to the article. What—oh what—are we to do, oh Claudie lad? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:27, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I write all this text—practically an essay on how ridiculous your reasons are for continuing to revert my edits—and even attempt to throw in a bit good-humoured banter, and that's all you're giving me in return? You've now made it very clear that you're not willing to back away from this edit war. So, Claudie lad, I'm off to get a third opinion on 'your' article. I'm sure we'll enjoy many happy reverts until then. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:46, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop deliberately introducing redirects to this article and slow edit warring. Continuing to do so will result in you being blocked. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:34, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I warned you once. Stop it, or I'll block you and if necessary protect the article. Explain your edits on the talk page, maybe we can get somewhere. I know you speak English, so please, get on with it and stop edit warring. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:50, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

What mess do you mean? As for twitter, I don't know how to link, but it's from October 8, 2:34pm... Otherwise, just wait for the new rankings, and you'll see! claudevsq (talk) 17:47, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest by "mess" Mac D means the fact that you're heading rapidly towards an indefinite block. Just guessing though. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:42, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Povetkin's title

Hi. Where did you hear that the WBA took away Povetkin's title?--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 17:49, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Senator! Nowhere, but it's always the case when a Super champion fights a regular champion (like Mayweather-Álvarez) or a regular champion fights an interim champion (like Ryo Miyazaki vs. Jesús Silvestre recently) that the loser loses his belt. Yesterday, the WBA convention started (lasts until next Sunday), and the rankings will probably come out after, so next week, but maybe, you will be able to read in the articles about the convention concerning the heavyweight title... Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 18:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are right about the interim titles, but I thought the regular and super titles were different. Before Mayweather-Álvarez when was the last time a WBA super champion fought a WBA regular champion (or unified champion)? It is difficult to know what the WBA is doing since they don't update their site very often.--SaskatchewanSenator (talk) 20:22, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Don't forget the ongoing WBA convention in Peru until next Sunday. The ratings will probably come out next week... claudevsq (talk) 07:11, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interim/Regular/Super champion start dates

You are correct in that Shumenov's reign as WBA Super champion began on October 8, 2013. However, would it not be more logical to list his reign as beginning from the point at which he won the original Regular belt, on January 29, 2010? If people read the article and see that his reign began in 2013, they'll be missing the fact that he's actually been a WBA champion—regardless of Regular or Super—since 2010. Interim belts are even trickier. I have no idea how the dates for them should be addressed, or whether they count as 'real' championship reigns. Then again, more separate fields seems like overkill.. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:25, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More separate fields are indeed not useful... If you want, let the dates as they are for interim champs, and just change the dates of the concerned Super champions (like Chris John, Anselmo Moreno,...). This does not apply for Mayweather, and not for Klitschko either, if I remember well. claudevsq (talk) 07:13, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So to clarify and create an example: if a WBA 'Regular' champion were to begin his reign on January 1, 2014, but is later elevated (not in an actual fight) to 'Super' champion on June 1, 2014, do we continue to list January 1, 2014 as the date when he first claimed any kind of WBA belt? That would seem like the most logical way to do it, because if we were to suddenly change it to June 1, 2014, the readers of the article will not be made aware of him acquiring his first WBA belt some time earlier. Instead, they may incorrectly think he won the 'Super' title in an actual fight, all the while disregarding his previous reign as 'Regular' champion. That is just a hypothetical situation, but it is basically what we are dealing with regarding Shumenov. He won his original WBA 'Regular' title in a 2010 fight, but was much later given the 'Super' title in 2013 outside of the ring. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 14:17, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I already said that you were right about that point... BTW, why do we discuss this here, and not on the talk page of the corresponding article? claudevsq (talk) 18:21, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph Votel's Awards

Claudevsq, I saw your edits on LTG Votel's page and wanted to show you what I have been able to deduce about LTG Votel's combat jumps. The reason I believe he as earned two Arrowhead Devices is due to the fact that he jumped into Panama with the 75th Ranger Regiment and again with the 75th in Afghanistan. His mission in Panama earned him the AFEM and his mission in Afghanistan earned him the ACM, of course. Although it is difficult to see, the best photograph I can find that leads me to verify this can be found on a U.S. Army photograph from BG Clarke's promotion ceremony. If you zoom in on LTG Votel's ribbon rack and look closely just under his lapel, I see an elongated antique bronze device on top of his AFEM that is too long to be a Campaign Star.

As you noted, only one Arrowhead Device can be worn on a (singular) campaign, expedition, or service medal/ribbon regardless of the number of amphibious assaults, combat jumps, or helicopter assaults were made for a given campaign/operation.

Like you, I have look at many photographs on Flickr and other websites to see if I can tell what devices he is wearing on his ribbons and this is the best view I have been able to find to try and verify the information I have found so far. Have you found a better photograph or official DoD biography that clearly illustrates the device LTG Votel has on his AFEM?

Regards, --McChizzle (talk) 22:54, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dear friend, you are right, of course, oh his AFEM ribbon, he is wearing an arrowhead device, but you can't deny the fact that the only thing he is wearing on his Afghanistan medal is a bronze service star. Even if he has got 2 arrowheads, he is just wearing one. Until we have no source which proofs to us that he really has got two arrowheads... And don't forget, he may also have chosen for his combat jump in Afghanistan, to only wear an arrowhead on the AFEM ribbon, for the first jump as well as for the second one in Afghanistan, that's possible. Hope we will find evidence anytime soon,
Thanks for your edits, I'm now going to upload a parachutist badge with two combat stars, greetings claudevsq (talk) 12:21, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Claudevaq, Thank you for your response. I looked at the photographs and reviewed the documentation I have once again and I continue to come to the conclusion that the AFEM and the ACM each have one Arrowhead Device. It's fairly easy to see on the ACM using the photograph I mentioned above and harder to see on the AFEM. It's the dark elongated antique metal objects on both ribbons and LTG Votel's combat record that lead me to this conclusion. Would you be okay with me making the device changes to these awards or do you have better evidence that one or both are Campaign Stars? --McChizzle (talk) 14:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Dear friend, I still believe that the device on his AFEM is an arrowhead, yes, but the one device on his Afghanistan medal, I think it's not too difficult to identify it as bronze campaign star. And we also can see that this is the only device on that ribbon. Happy editing! 194.154.216.91 (talk) 18:05, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay on the AFEM. But take a look at this enlarged image of LTG Votel's awards. I see a distinct difference in size and shape of the device on his ACM and the Service/Campaign Stars on his NDSM and SASM. Thoughts?
Really sorry, but this has been changed with Photoshop or similar program. See main photo on Votel's page, it's clearly a star, and on Flickr as well. I would remove this image... Look at top of arrow and the stripes in middle of ribbon, which are bended to the left on top... ;-) 194.154.216.91 (talk) 21:35, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So, in the end, if you want to replace the star with an arrowhead, go ahead... But I wouldn't replace, but rather add it... In fact, I wouldn't change it at all, but you do what you think is best... Greetings, claudevsq (talk) 21:52, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's been no fundamental change to the image Claudevsq. The only thing I did was enlarge the pixels so you can see what I see; plus I brightened the image a little for better viewing. If you have a photograph with a different angle and/or better resolution of LTG Votel wearing this award it would help our discussion. Do you have one or can you point me to one that I can review? --McChizzle (talk) 22:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP's article names him simply as Jesús Cuellar, so we should go with that instead of creating a pointless redirect.

Number of four-star positions being reduced

Thought this might interest you. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 that was signed into law will be reducing the total number of four-star positions by five as per Sec. 910 of the bill. Neovu79 (talk) 01:43, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I'm aware of, these five positions will be downgraded to three-star positions Though I do not know which ones. My assumption is that the Air Force will be taking the majority of that reduction since they have the most amount of service and functional positions currently designated as four-star. With the Trump administration coming in on January 20, there has yet to be word if the next ASH will be an officer in the Public Health Service. As for Air Combat Command and Lt Gen Holmes, General Carlisle still has a little less than one year left as commander, but based on this website article, my assumption is that it doesn't sound like Carlisle plans on voluntarily retiring early. The C and R devices should be implemented as soon as applicable be each of the services. Mattis and Kelly can not be active duty, since the cabinet positions they are being considered for, by law, must be held by a civilian. Also, on a side note, this Act also elevated U.S. Cyber Command to a unified combatant command. Neovu79 (talk) 21:02, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Update: The Trump administration announced that the President intends to nominate Brett Giroir as the next ASH. The announcement did not mention if Giroir will serving as a Public Health Service officer and the nomination has yet to be sent to the Senate. Once his nomination is received by the Senate, we will know if he will become a uniformed officer because it should make a reference of him also being appointed as a Director in the Regular Corps as well.

Next Pacific Air Forces Commander and Army Futures Command four-star commander

It's possible that the next PACAF commander could be a three-star, although there is still no announcement. The NDAA 2017 did call for a reduction of service specific, four-star positions by December 31, 2022, but that is a ways off. Now something you might be interested in, is that the Army is standing up a new command called Army Futures Command which will have a four-star commander. The announcement can be found here and here. Neovu79 (talk) 23:28, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My hunch is that LTG Stephen R. Lyons, who has been nominated for a fourth star, but has no announced assignment, is going to be Army Futures Command's first commander. He has held positions in logistics as well as positions in research and development and acquisitions, which Army Futures Command will be responsible for.

Ribbon and Award Deletion

While I don't necessarily agree Chris Troutman because I find the ribbon rack to be helpful to those who don't know what the ribbons/rewards represent. Troxell's clearly shows the ribbons associated to the awards that he has earned. But that's the main problem when it comes to military bios, I find and in my experience in looking for reference sources, is that 80%-90% I only find one source and usually its from a U.S. government site. I do have to say that with how many "guidelines" there are in wiki, that Chris Troutman is technically justified in deleting the information and I mirror his encouragement for all contributors to continue to look for more verifiable sources so we can add the ribbons back to this. And and I know that is sucks when an admin deletes all or most of your hard work and then refer to guidelines we probably didn't know that exists. But in all truth, if we're not willing to put in the time and effort to reference what we post on wiki, then it probably shouldn't be there in the first place. Neovu79 (talk) 15:03, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Austin S. Miller

Hard to say about General Miller. He's had a long history with special operations. I would think he would be most suited for USSOCOM, but General Raymond A. Thomas still has at least a year in that position. Since his assignment has not been announced, my bet is that is has to be for an Army specific position that he's being appointed to. For the past 5-6 years, the Army has refused to announce any of their general officers that are being assigned to Army specific positions. The only time I've seen an Army general officer's assignment being announce is for joint assignments only, and that's because the DoD announces it, and not the Army. So if Miller were to be taking over for Thomas and USSOCOM commander, the DoD would have announced that. Miller's nomination was sent last Monday, so there is a chance we might get a position announcement today. If we don't hear anything by the end of the week, I think it's safe to assume that he's being nominated for an Army specific post. Neovu79 (talk) 16:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I truly hate the Department of the Army's nondisclosure of army specific general officer assignments. I don't really enjoy guessing what assignment they will end up with. I have to dig into that candidate's bios and see what jobs they've held over their general officer career, then go into all the Army specific four-star assignments and find out who's retiring, or who's up for reappointment/reassignment and then see if the candidate qualifies to serve into that position. Even then, I run the risk in being wrong since they can be appointed to positions that normally doesn't fit their career pipeline. Neovu79 (talk) 22:19, 16 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Female boxing champions

I'm going to have to apologize to you, but I would appreciate if you re-do your edits on List of current female world boxing champions. I had made an edit adding WIBF champions, per WP:NBOXING. Which were reverted without WP:FIES by an anonymous IP. I have to restore that, and that creates an edit conflict with your edit. DA1 (talk) 19:08, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've since noticed you reverted my edit on Template:WBCstartfem. I'm presuming you also don't want WIBF added to the article perhaps? I started a dicussion on Wikipedia:WikiProject Boxing talk. DA1 (talk) 19:24, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree the WIBF is necessarily a "secondary" title. It is among the oldest titles in women's boxing. the IBF/WBO belts are rather new in comparison, having only been introduced in 2009 and 2010. I don't think its WP:NPOV to not include the WIBF when it is on WP:NBOXING. DA1 (talk) 20:16, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. I've kept the list updated day in, day out, for all the people interested in the site. Now, it's your list. Do whatever you want, please. Go ahead... I know you can do it.

Admirals Michel and Rogers

I cannot tell what medal or what country that award you are referring to is from, for Admiral Michel. I have never seen it before. As for Admiral Rogers, I'm pretty sure he received the Defense Distinguished service medal when he retired, but I am not 100% certain, since it was not awarded to him during the change of command ceremony. Neovu79 (talk) 02:03, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! That's the problem, as the medal (if it was awarded, then) was not given to Rogers during the ceremony, we cannot be sure... Maybe, a photo will eventually surface where he is wearing it, but... Until then, there's nothing we can add... He might also have been awarded an award by the Intelligence Community after all, who knows? claudevsq (talk) 08:21, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LTG John M. Murray

I know with the Army's policy on nondisclosure of general officer assignments until the VERY last minute, but give me some credit in the research I do, LOL.

Neovu79 (talk) 15:56, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lt Gen Maryanne Miller fourth star nomination

That is very interesting. Miller is a career reserve officer, and for a reserve officer be nominated for a fourth star extremely rare. There is only one known four-star position that follows a reserve officer pipeline and that's the Chief of the National Guard Bureau and currently General Lengyel still has two more years remaining and I haven't heard of him requesting for early retirement. U.S. Northern Command's deputy commander has been a reserve officer three-star since 2008 (also particularly from the National Guard), and there was once talk about making the commander of USNORTHCOM a four-star officer from the National Guard, but that never came to fruition. Even now, General O'Shaughnessy only assumed command of USNORTHCOM this past May, so that rules out that job going to Miller. Her career, staff positions and commands held, are pretty broad throughout her career, so I can't make heads or tails on what current-known four-star position she may be inheriting. My hunch is that they are opening up a new four-star position for her. I hope they announce something soon. It's killing my curiosity. Neovu79 (talk) 09:35, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

After doing a thorough review of the remaining four-star positions, so far I see one likely and two outside possibilities. Generals Ellen M. Pawlikowski and Carlton D. Everhart II and Admiral Kurt W. Tidd are all scheduled to retire. That makes U.S. Southern Command, Air Force Materiel Command and Air Mobility Command available. Out of the three, Air Mobility Command is the most likely destination for Miller, in my opinion. Miller has a lot of experience as a commander of reserve air forces, particularly in air mobility and airlift, which AMC encompasses. In the earlier part of her career, she's flown in a hand full of the aircraft AMC uses. But most importantly, a good portion of AMC is comprised of reserve airmen and Air National Guardsmen. Neovu79 (talk) 14:03, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I would have guessed AFMC (Material Command), but the other two also make sense. You could be right, in the end. Who do you think will take over FORSCOM from Abrams? Maybe Nicholson Jr? claudevsq (talk) 10:29, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's very possible that Nicholson and Abrams could be swapping jobs. I haven't heard of Nicholson requesting retirement and he's still relatively young general. Neovu79 (talk) 08:32, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just that Abrams will take over from Vince Brooks in Korea, NOT from Nicholson in Afghanistan. That's going to be Austin Miller... claudevsq (talk) 08:42, 25 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]


U.S. Space Command

Just thought you would want to know, that on August 13, 2018, President Trump signed into law, the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. It includes the re-establishment of the U.S. Space Command by the end of 2018. It will temporarily be a sub-unified combatant command under U.S. Strategic Command, who's commander will be a four-star general or flag officer, , until it can be separated as a full unified combatant command. Neovu79 (talk) 08:03, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! What about the reduction from 40 to 35 4-star officers? With Army Futures Command and U.S. Space Command, there will already be 43 4-star officers... I can only hope Trump isn't gearing up to something we all don't want to happen... claudevsq (talk) 13:32, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The reduction may or may not happen during the Trump administration. It quite possible that Congress and Trump may override that reduction in a future NDAA before that reduction goes into affect. Time will tell at this point. Neovu79 (talk) 19:29, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm Onel5969. Claudevsq, thanks for creating Russell L. Smith!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please review the MOS regarding capitalization in articles. And since this is a blp, footnotes would be required, if there were more than one source, which would also be nice.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

List of WBA female world champions

Hi Claudevsq,

I had recently made changes to the list of WBA female world champions. I saw that you reverted my changes from Chantal Martínez to Chanttall Martinez. The only problem I have with that is, the name Chanttall Martinez is only used by BoxRec and it doesn't lead to any page. She is originally from Panama. And all the other Panamanian sources on her Wikipedia page use Chantal Martínez as her name, except for one American source which uses Shantal Martínez. Even her Wikipedia page is named Chantal Martínez. That is why I think that we should either use Chantal Martínez in the list of WBA female world champions or use Chanttall Martinez and redirect to Chantal Martínez.

Sources from her personal Wikipedia page:

  • Her Wikipedia page is named Chantal Martínez, and uses the same incorrectly spelled Chanttall Martinez from BoxRec as a source.
  • All four Panamanian newspapers from her Wikipedia page use Chantal Martínez. In my opinion, this would be the correct spelling, since she is from Panama.
  • The WBAN website uses Shantal Martínez. The website is down so I used Wayback Machine to view the original content. The owner of the website changed the website's name from WBAN dot org to Womenboxing dot com. Here you have the same article on the new website (the page appears empty, but make sure you scroll down to see the article). This seems to be the only website using Shantal Martínez, and it is an English source.
  • BoxRec seems to be the only website using Chanttall Martinez.

So, there are three names, Chantal Martínez, Chanttall Martinez, and Shantal Martínez. I think that we should use the Panamanian sources from her Wikipedia page as the correct spelling of her name, and also should use Chantal Martínez instead of Chanttall Martinez on the list of WBA female world champions.

Kind regards, MrUnoDosTres (talk) 12:07, 16 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

New Army Uniform

The the new Army uniform that you see Generals Townsend and Funk wearing are the new Army Service Greens Uniforms. It was introduced in the November of 2018 and will replace the ASUs (Army Service Unifroms) as the Army's everyday professional working uniform. It is an omage to the Army's World War II and Korean War professional uniform. The service uniform was the brain-child of former Sergeant Major of the Army Daniel Dailey, and he started wearing the uniform during his travels ever since it was introduced. With the Army transitioning from a combat force, back to a professional force, they needed a new professional uniform, ever since they did way with the post-Korean War, Class-A's (Green Service Uniform). The first phase of the new uniforms rolled out this summer, with the Army completely replacing the ASUs by 2028. The ASUs will revert back to being only worn during ceremonies. For more information about the new Army Greens, check out the link. Neovu79 (talk) 23:23, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Next STRATCOM Commander

Still no word on who will be the next STRATCOM commander, since General Hyten's nomination as Vice Chairman is on hols while Congress in summer recess. Rumor is that DoD officials would like to see a Navy officer in that position since the Navy is currently under-represented in four-stars. Vice Admiral David Kriete has been floated around, but real discussion has not actually started. All eyes are currently on whether Democrats in the Senate will hold up Hyten's nomination once the Senate returns for the fall session. Neovu79 (talk) 23:33, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delfine Persoon

For her last fight against Helen Joseph, all media outlets and BoxRec had the fight being for the WBA interim title. Since the new rankings, in a mad panic to appear like the all knowing boxing aficionado that never gets anything wrong, BoxRec have removed the WBA interim title from their record of the fight. However, in announcing their 'boxer of the month' award on their official website, they give an honourable mention to Persoon for winning the interim title. Here’s the link. I don’t really know what’s going on there. Boxing politricks at its finest I imagine. — 2.O.Boxing 14:59, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Claudevsq, Sorry, I missed this when I made the comment on your profile. As Squared.Circle.Boxingalready mentioned; it is very weird! I knew about her interim title because it was all over the news (in our newspapers, in Dutch) and yes, the wbaboxing also mentioned it too, see link above. So for me it was clear she won that title. Now, all of a sudden, the website lists her as "gold"? What does that even mean???? It is a new title they came up with, but why is she no longer the interim champ??

Delfine Persoon Interim title

Hello


Hi Claudevsq, you removed the interim title again for Delfine Persoon here: List_of_WBA_female_world_champions. Now I know that the ranking currently list her title as "gold", but lets be honest: how many titles are they going to invent?? Also, if you read the original report she did win the interim title: https://www.wbaboxing.com/wba-female/wba-female-november-rankings-and-boxer-of-the-month#.XefnqC3WCL8 , last paragraph. See also what Squared.Circle.Boxing has to say about this. He also updated the page of Persoon.... I am not sure what to do now, but in my opinion Delfine Persoon should be menionted on the WBA female world champions as the interim champion. The original report of boxrec gave her this title.... Now the WBA all of a sudden changes it into "gold"???? To me this makes no sense! Garnhami (talk) 17:12, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I know it is confusing and sad, but the WBA did this not for the first time: Back when Goulamirian fought for the Gold title, he suddenly was the "interim champion" in the rankings... Here is a link to the fight poster: https://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:2401060 So, I guess we better go with the official WBA rankings, as we always should do. As you saw yourself, Persoon is rated #1 as gold champ. Regular champ Hyun Mi Choi next will unify against IBF-champ Hamadouche, I guess the winner will have to face Persoon as the WBA mandatory... claudevsq (talk) 10:19, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Claudevsq ok. Yeah, I am not the biggest expert in boxing anyway. It is very confusing and to be honest, after learning a bit more about it, it seems they keep inventing new titles/boxing affiliations and so on.. I am starting to believe that even I can become a world champion in some obscure boxing union haha. I also mailed the people from the WBA to ask about the gold vs interim title, I wonder if I will ever get an answer. If I do, I'll let you know. Garnhami (talk) 10:32, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
That's very kind of you, but even me, as a global BoxRec editor and former member of The Ring's Advisory Ratings Panel do not get an answer... I guess they don't know themselves, haha... claudevsq (talk) 10:42, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh ok.. then I guess I will not get an answer! I already suspected it, but reading your story, kinda confirms it lolGarnhami (talk) 10:48, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Female boxing lists

I understand you created those articles and have put your time and effort into keeping them updated, but this is a collaborative project and communication is required. I gave logical and detailed reasons for my removal of interim champions on the various lists of female champions and the same with List of current female world boxing champions. Per BRD I took my argument for interim titles to the talk page. Your reluctance to engage in the discussion and revert without an explanation is the reason why I keep reverting back. Your unexplained reversions are starting to come across as WP:Stonewalling due to WP:I just don't like it. Please engage in discussion so I can understand your reasoning behind the reversions. This edit war is completely unnecessary. – 2.O.Boxing 09:43, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mahfoud

The situation is fairly simple. Wikipedia relies on WP:Reliable sources and WP:Verifiability; there are multiple sources that say Mahfoud was champion in July. One even quotes a letter of confirmation sent by the IBF. July is backed by sources, September is WP:Original research pulled out of thin air. If you want to throw your toys out the pram (again), go right ahead. It's not the most difficult list in the world to update lol – 2.O.Boxing 09:12, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
