Disambiguation link notification for September 29Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

"Notable wins" cleanup.Good work! I was thinking of doing this myself, but it'd be a chore with a Playstation. Thank you and your superior word processing machine. I like to consider all wins notable, like links in a chain. Same goes for losses. Strange how notable losses are never trumpeted. Subjective, indeed! InedibleHulk (talk) 02:11, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Thiago AlvesWith all due respect, I'm rather confused as to how editing Thiago Alves' page is considered vandalism. I had seen footage of the fight finish, and saw that the time on his page didn't match up with the time from the time in the gif. That being said, it looks like you've put a lot of work in to MMA pages here on wikipedia, so keep up the good work! Bananaman Anderson-Smith (talk) 16:16, 5 October 2012 (UTC) As per Sherdog's database, Alves finished the fight at 0:34, not 0:24. I took your changes to be in bad faith and disruptive, as it was against all sources, not discussed and not sourced (to suggest it was 0:24. Considering you're now willing to discuss this, I retract the warning, but I still maintain that it was 0:34, as that is sourced. Paralympiakos (talk) 16:28, 5 October 2012 (UTC) Understood. In any case, this gif speaks for itself, so take from it what you will. Bananaman Anderson-Smith (talk) 06:58, 7 October 2012 (UTC) UFX on FX Browne vs BigfootThe submission for this event and both of the fighters pages (Volkman and Roller) were changed to a neck crank. The actual submission used was a neck crank since he wasn't under the chin and didn't have pressure on the arteries, however Bruce Buffer announced it as a Read Naked Choke. When I tried to fix Bruce Buffer's mistake on the Jones/Belfort fight you kept changing it back and gave me a hard time. I was wondering how is it going to be. Is it supposed to be put in as whatever Bruce Buffer calls it or is it supposed to be put in as the proper submission? --Willdawg111 (talk) 04:51, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

I get that you don't agree with this -- you are not alone in that. Bring it up again at the project's talk page and get the consensus view changed and then add the flag icons. That said, till you can get the consensus changed please respect the consensus view that was achieved and do not add flag icons to those tables. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 02:39, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

In WP:MMA, for the fighter`s records, it says that "In the column Opponent, do not add flag icons before the name of the opponent. Per MOS:ICON, the consensus in Wikipedia is that flag icons should not be used to emphasize nationality without good reason. Flag icons for sportspeople should only be used in a sporting sense, that is, only when they are representing a national squad/team or for representative nationality in a competition, not legal nationality. There is no international sport governing body in MMA and MMA events are mainly handled by individual promotions. As such, MMA fighters do not represent their countries in a sporting sense, so flag icons do not serve an encyclopedic purpose. Flag icons should not be added only because they look good, because aesthetics are in the eye of the beholder: one reader's harmless decoration may be another reader's distraction", hence I don't you should keep on adding them to the Anderson Silva article.Evenfiel (talk) 14:59, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Polyh3dron (talk) 23:18, 16 November 2012 (UTC) MMA Event NotabilityYou are invited to join the discussion at WT:MMA#MMA_Event_Notability. Kevlar (talk) 19:05, 13 December 2012 (UTC) I think you might like to have a look at the outcome of the RfC on flags in MMA articles here. Mtking (edits) 19:07, 13 December 2012 (UTC) You obviously know my stance on the matter. I do not consider a matter whereby 6 oppose and 5 are for, to be consensus. Looking at it, each side has points, but no one side has a more rational argument. Therefore, I reject that essay and its outcome. If you wish to participate in the project, you are of course free to do so, but please consider doing something positive, not something that removes part of it. Try writing content instead of victimising the sport's project in a way that a neutral may think you have some moral opposition/hatred towards.... Thank you. Paralympiakos (talk) 19:46, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
...Because guidelines aren't rules and are therefore practically irrelevant. I know it isn't a vote, but I saw that your side's arguments were not more compelling and relevant than my sides. The RFC is a request for comment, not ruling. There are no RULES saying that flags are banned. End of. Paralympiakos (talk) 23:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Greetings, Happy New Year!I was wondering what Tier you would put K-1 Heros into if it were added to the current list at WP:MMATIER? PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 08:02, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Maybe take a look at the 4 WFA events and see that they had top flight competition including Rich FRanklin, Machida, Antonio Mckee,Trigg, Marvin Eastman,Vitor Ribioero, Valetijn Overeem , Kimo, Joey Villasenor, Jeff Curran, Mike Van Arsdale, Razor Rob, Josh Thompson, Dennis Hallman, Lindland, Rampage, Ricco Rodriguez, Mayhem Miller, Bas Rutten, and MArtin Kampmann. Wow! I was actually surprised at maybe a fourth of those until I looked for myself just now. I think even tho they only had 4 events, with their high concentration of outstanding fighters they should be top tier. Yeah the IFL was SICK. They gave fighters benefits and a monthly paycheck. Plus 4 minute rounds are more humane. I am proud to say I saw both Portland Events. Saw Lindland KO Horn! Anyways. There seems to be progress towards this discussion on the wikiproject talk space. Please chime in so we can move closer to getting a consensus together for (hopefully) a three tier system with the inclusion of the WSOF,IFL,WFA and Heros.
