Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from
Crucifixion. When removing text, please specify a reason in the
edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's
talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to
Crucifixion, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the

Wow, I got called out for removing anime references in the Crucifixion article that were straight up embarrassing to Wikipedia (not to mention embarrassing to both the article and anime fans). This is hilarious. I believe I did give an explanation when prompted after the auto-revert, and whoever was trying to keep that crap in there evidently lost that fight.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Admin Attention on MMA. Thank you. Mt king (edits) 11:26, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
You asked about a more appropriate way to link to the internal WP page about notability, it would be better if you put them on the Talk page of each article, the See also sections normally only contain links to other articles. Mt king (edits) 00:33, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Since I'm guessing now that adding the links there was not correct form per wikipedia standards, I'll stop adding them. However I seriously doubt nearly as many people will see them on the talk pages though, particularly if they are unaware of the situation, and the whole idea was to get people who actually use the articles involved in the discussion. I suppose it would be nice if there was a better way to do that (without violating wiki standards, or hitting message boards and stirring up a hornets nest). Beansy ( talk) 00:49, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Would you be willing to take a more active role in the ongoing mma collaboration moving forward? I think we're closer than most might expect. I'm trying to minimize my footprint for my own sanity if not everyone's interests. My "E-mail this user" link under toolbox also works. Thanks. Agent00f ( talk) 23:21, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm actually typing a post in the big discussion right now, but a more active role is going to be difficult before May 15th when I am done with my grad school work for the semester. Beansy ( talk) 23:44, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
I'm mostly trying to gauge interest more so than immediate resources. It's very important going forward to have eloquent and reasoned voices. If you have the desire, this will make for at least a very interesting story to tell. No pressure though. Again, my email is always open. Agent00f ( talk) 23:52, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
I Meant what I said on the WP:MMANOT talk page, if we can start making progress, I will certainly withdraw the AfD noms you mentioned. However, making eloquent and reasoned arguments that still amount to "All UFC EVENTS ARE INHERENTLY NOTABLE" is not progress. I know you have not stated anything contrary to that since we are trying to start anew, I was just conflicted when I arrived here to find Agent00f's message, I'd rather let you know my thoughts and express that, than say nothing though. After your last comments I believe you want to work out a consensus, I promise to before patient and wait for you to have time to comment. Also, I doubt the admins are going to close the AfDs while we are trying to hash this out. Newmanoconnor ( talk) 02:51, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
That is fair but I still think that specifically targeting some of the largest events for AfD isn't doing any good. If posted a rebuttal of the AfD for UFC 144 since there was a non-routine mainstream source explaining the event's actual notability. I would feel better if you could withdraw that one in a sign of good faith.
Beansy (

Re the Ulysses Gomez story, check the link I provided and Gomez's twitter, since the retraction he has signed to fight, and the new report is correct. Thaddeus Venture ( talk) 01:00, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
The next best other example I can think of is Hector Lombard. Everyone thinks of him as Cuban, he was born in Cuba, he grew up in Cuba, he competed in Judo for Cuba at the international level. Lombard then defected from Cuba during the Sydney Olympics and sought asylum in Australia. At that point he probably has no claim to Cuban citizenship whatsoever. He lived in Australia for years, and competed there, I have no idea if he is an Australian citizen. After years of living in Australia he moved to Florida, where he now lives and trains, I have no idea if he is an American citizen. At this point, the only real way to reference him is to say the UFC displays him as Cuban, so we do as well. That may be a mistake on the UFC's part, but that's their mistake, it is not incorrect for this article to then show that the UFC displays him as Cuban, nor is it incorrect for this article to show that the UFC displays Cung Le as Vietnamese. If Le really went out on the war path and said, I am incredibly angry with how the UFC is promoting me, and I am making it a point to never be associated with this symbol ever, then there would be a real discussion. From everything I've seen it sounds like he's said, "Look I talked to them about it, they said it is what it is." Does this make the UFC correct in it's actions? No probably not. But it does make this article correct in saying this is how the UFC has chosen to display Cung Le. Thaddeus Venture ( talk) 15:47, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

H Beansy, You recently voted in the Arbitration Committee Elections. In accordance to the Request for comment on the election process, you must have made 150 edits in the main article space of Wikipedia before November 1st in order to be eligible to vote. According to a recent count, you only have 135 such edits.
If you believe we are in error, or there are other circumstances, such as a number of edits across multiple accounts, please let us know. Sailsbystars ( talk) 18:53, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
Ignoring RfCs is a form of Wikipedia:Disruptive editing. Specifically, "A disruptive editor is an editor who: Rejects or ignores community input: resists moderation and/or requests for comment, continuing to edit in pursuit of a certain point despite an opposing consensus from impartial editors." If you disagree with the outcome of the RfC, you are encouraged to start a new one if you believe that new policy arguments may shed a different light on the subject.

Beansy, Concerning the use of Flags, isn't the reason they have been placed there originally because of the UFC and other promotions using the nationality of a fighter's birth place, the country where a fighter is currently training, or where a fighter has been predominately living? (During announcements introducing fighters in the ring and outside of it.) Wouldn't this make the use of flags simply a part of the subject that is being documented and characterized as closely to reality as is possible? I am not a user or editor, but would like to help clarify some of these weird discussions justifying mass deletions and edits. All the best 173.168.140.188 ( talk) 21:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Rather than clutter up the WT MMA talk page with sockpuppet stuff, I thought I'd try to answer some of your questions here. You can look at the SPI page here for some of the answers. Basically, a checkuser has said that Pound4Pound was a sockpuppet of BigzMMA. It's rarely an IP match as that usually gets caught by the autoblock, not to mention many people have dynamic IP addresses (or can easily find a new IP by using coffee houses, restaurants, etc). CU's have various tools that give them access to much of the meta information sent with any HTTP request - see the HTTP header article for some examples of what they might have available. From a pure behavior perspective I don't think anyone would 100% link the two accounts but I also didn't think BigzMMA would totally disappear after being blocked and that it was just a matter of time before a sock appeared. Same with JonnyBoyJones (who may be Glock17gen4, interestingly enough). CU's can't/won't divulge too many details about exactly how they confirm socks to avoid giving people too many clues on how to avoid detection. Generally though, they are very conservative about making definitive statements so DeltaQuad's language is pretty telling. Ravensfire ( talk) 15:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is MMA country of birth this time ISO codes. Thank you. ✍ Mtking ✉ 08:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I have no opinion on flags or anything else but happened to glance at the article following the ANI discussion. If the ISO codes are going to be added wouldn't the column be better headed Nationality rather than ISO? NtheP ( talk) 10:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
The patience within the community for disputes over these articles is pretty much exhausted; so inappropriate behaviour such as edit warring is going to be met with heavy sanctions. Substituting ISO codes, and then claiming admin support (which I can't find on that page.. you've drawn a very dubious conclusion from kww's comments), before any consensus emerges is only extending the dispute.
Per discretionary sanctions, I am giving you the above warning notice as a final warning. -- Errant ( chat!) 16:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

As you put them in originally, I was wondering if you had a preference on the ISO column. I've mad the text in the first two tables small, because it looks less awkward. This may however hinder readability. I want to get a second perspective on this, but if you feel like you're better of staying well away from it at this point I understand. Thanks for your help. Thaddeus Venture ( talk) 04:41, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and support. I'm glad you found the article without a lot of trouble. Right now it's pretty much at the unpaid internship level, but I'm also sort of staff, so we'll see how that goes (I expect it will go well). I will still poke around wiki a bit, I've got my list of mma champions to monitor, so we are sure to cross paths. And of course you're always free to find me on BE and/or email me through my profile there. Thaddeus Venture ( talk) 16:33, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Ignoring RfCs is a form of Wikipedia:Disruptive editing. Specifically, "A disruptive editor is an editor who: Rejects or ignores community input: resists moderation and/or requests for comment, continuing to edit in pursuit of a certain point despite an opposing consensus from impartial editors." If you disagree with the outcome of the RfC, you are encouraged to start a new one if you believe that new policy arguments may shed a different light on the subject.

Beansy, Concerning the use of Flags, isn't the reason they have been placed there originally because of the UFC and other promotions using the nationality of a fighter's birth place, the country where a fighter is currently training, or where a fighter has been predominately living? (During announcements introducing fighters in the ring and outside of it.) Wouldn't this make the use of flags simply a part of the subject that is being documented and characterized as closely to reality as is possible? I am not a user or editor, but would like to help clarify some of these weird discussions justifying mass deletions and edits. All the best 173.168.140.188 ( talk) 21:26, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
Rather than clutter up the WT MMA talk page with sockpuppet stuff, I thought I'd try to answer some of your questions here. You can look at the SPI page here for some of the answers. Basically, a checkuser has said that Pound4Pound was a sockpuppet of BigzMMA. It's rarely an IP match as that usually gets caught by the autoblock, not to mention many people have dynamic IP addresses (or can easily find a new IP by using coffee houses, restaurants, etc). CU's have various tools that give them access to much of the meta information sent with any HTTP request - see the HTTP header article for some examples of what they might have available. From a pure behavior perspective I don't think anyone would 100% link the two accounts but I also didn't think BigzMMA would totally disappear after being blocked and that it was just a matter of time before a sock appeared. Same with JonnyBoyJones (who may be Glock17gen4, interestingly enough). CU's can't/won't divulge too many details about exactly how they confirm socks to avoid giving people too many clues on how to avoid detection. Generally though, they are very conservative about making definitive statements so DeltaQuad's language is pretty telling. Ravensfire ( talk) 15:24, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is MMA country of birth this time ISO codes. Thank you. ✍ Mtking ✉ 08:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I have no opinion on flags or anything else but happened to glance at the article following the ANI discussion. If the ISO codes are going to be added wouldn't the column be better headed Nationality rather than ISO? NtheP ( talk) 10:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
The patience within the community for disputes over these articles is pretty much exhausted; so inappropriate behaviour such as edit warring is going to be met with heavy sanctions. Substituting ISO codes, and then claiming admin support (which I can't find on that page.. you've drawn a very dubious conclusion from kww's comments), before any consensus emerges is only extending the dispute.
Per discretionary sanctions, I am giving you the above warning notice as a final warning. -- Errant ( chat!) 16:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

As you put them in originally, I was wondering if you had a preference on the ISO column. I've mad the text in the first two tables small, because it looks less awkward. This may however hinder readability. I want to get a second perspective on this, but if you feel like you're better of staying well away from it at this point I understand. Thanks for your help. Thaddeus Venture ( talk) 04:41, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and support. I'm glad you found the article without a lot of trouble. Right now it's pretty much at the unpaid internship level, but I'm also sort of staff, so we'll see how that goes (I expect it will go well). I will still poke around wiki a bit, I've got my list of mma champions to monitor, so we are sure to cross paths. And of course you're always free to find me on BE and/or email me through my profile there. Thaddeus Venture ( talk) 16:33, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
"Considering they are debuting with the promotion I have to believe that's their intended division for the fight" You're absolutely right. My Thai28 ( talk) 08:51, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
