Sure I'll adopt you, and you say that you need some help, well here is some help that was given to me when I was new here. These cover player articles.
Try to do these things when updating player article (NFL only!)
Just a few for updating roster templates such as Template:New York Giants roster:
Hope this helps, and don't worry I know it's a lot don't put pressure on yourself to get it right everytime. Trust me I don't get it right everytime. If you have any questions on this, contact me on my talk page. Thanks for being willing to help!-- Giants27 : Chat 19:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to make sure you know that you can't use text verbatim from the sources on Wikipedia, such as you do on User:David.snipes/Sandbox 3. -- aktsu ( t / c) 17:09, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey there, just got your message. I'm not sure how much help I can give you, it's been almost a year since I created that project but I can certainly try. The stats box is created by a robot so that will be taken care of in time. But as for the page itself, it's just a lot of templates. Like each individual box is a separate page itself. I'd recommend just to play around with it, that's pretty much how I created the Colts Project. Try some things out, if it doesn't look good or doesn't work right away it can always be changed later. Sorry I wasn't much help, Wikipedia has been on the back burner for me recently. But if you have any specific questions about creating the project, feel free to ask! Have a good evening! HoosierState Talk 05:24, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Ah sorry, I've been a little busy so I didn't get a chance to look at it. Looks good though, can't say I see any major problems with it. The only thing I would question is if it's really notable enough for an article. 4 of the 6 champions are amateur fighters, and I can't say that I think an organization primarily putting on amateur fights seems very notable. There should also be more sources (which if they are independent of it would also help with showing notability). -- aktsu ( t / c) 10:19, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
I have it as notable as it is brand new and actually outdraws other MMA orgianzations that DO have thier own wiki pages- they have the highest drawing MMA cards in LA in both 07 and 08. The Card in Lafayette actually had more fans than UFC 1. Thanks for taking a look David.snipes ( talk) 14:34, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I just wanted to tell you that you are doing a good job. When I created my account on Wikipedia I lurked around a while, reverting vandalism here and there, watching how things were supposed to happen. You are taking a more active role, asking questions, and making some worthy contributions all the while (dealing with redlinks on those 'old' articles is no fun task). You mentioned somewhere that you were afraid of making edits without me yelling at you. Don't worry about it, I probably get a little too rough with my 'suggestions' for improvment. (And if I do seem to be too rough, feel free to slap me around on my talk page in return.) Again, good job and keep it up! -- TreyGeek ( talk) 00:31, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Thank you again. David.snipes ( talk) 00:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I think you're making the removal of redlinks a way bigger deal than it really is, but am I correct in thinking it all comes down to you wanting articles for everyone notable and removed redlinks for the rest? I would personally strongly advise against making that a goal since I can't see how anything particularly good can come from it; what's the use of hundreds upon hundreds of stubs with nothing but a fight record that constantly has to be updated? Sherdog provies more or less the exact same info and does a far better job at keeping it updated. Removed redlinks is OK I guess; looks better etc, but it's such a minor issue. More stubs = more work and if the actual content doesn't outweight the effort in updating and keeping it clean of vandalism I really can't support it.
Can I instead suggest vandal-fighting as an area where your efforts would IMO be better placed? This is a watchlist of every MMA article here and should provide plenty of work, and if not you always have Special:RecentChanges :) (Tip: it gets far easier to keep track of things if you activate "Enhanced recent changes (requires JavaScript)" under "Recent changes" in "My preferences", and if you haven't already you should activate all the browsing- and editing gadgets under "Gadgets", especially Twinkle.)
I really can't emphasize strong enough how much I would hate for there to be more stubs on fighters, but I will say that I'm glad you're at least going about it the proper way in making sure the stubs would actually be about more-or-less notable people. If you'd like to create articles I would ask you put in the effort to at least get it to Start-class, perferably C, as one of those is worth 100 stubs IMO. -- aktsu ( t / c) 01:30, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
I wonder if we should link ALL fighter that do not have a wikipage to Sherdog? Problem there is that other websites (mmauniverse etc) have JUST as good a database and I do not think Wiki should favor one website over another. David.snipes ( talk) 20:08, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Honestly, How many of Mayweathers 90 fights are notable or important to anyone not wearing a T-Shirt or related to him? Other than a line that says Fighter X went 190-2 in golden gloves and deafeated such people as A,B and C (all notable in thier OWN right) what difference does it make to LIST all those posers
How long would JEREMY HORN's career been- its been said he has over 300 fights if you included them all- and what about KIMBO? David.snipes ( talk) 22:09, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
It's going pretty good, thanks for asking :) By now, it's pretty clear that most UFC-event-pages will need protection at some point -- at the very least right after the event but in most cases even earlier (especially for events with either Lesnar, A. Silva or Liddell, as those seems to draw the most vandals I've noticed). Protection is sort of a no-no as the idea is we should strive to always be the "encyclopedia anyone can edit" unless things are getting out of hand (note the bar is lower for BLPs though), so pre-emptive protection -- as nice as it would be -- probably isn't going to happen even though we know it's going to be needed.
Regarding your email, we probably wouldn't be able to the site as I don't think it would pass WP:RS... Info about contracts (and remaining fights etc.) would indeed be pretty good info to add to articles though (for instance, how awesome would a "remaning fights on contract"-field in the infobox be?) but I don't think we'd be able to keep stuff like that up to date while reliably sourced. A "current roster"-article probably wouldn't work for the same reason, and it would most likely be labelled as WP:Listcruft anyway... -- aktsu ( t / c) 09:24, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
That is the reason the "fights left on contract" column has so many holes- I'm not putting something up there unless I can verify it by those guidelines. But it was an idea. David.snipes ( talk) 14:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I guess you originally posted this on your talkpage before TreyGeek reverted, but he had already done so when you posted on mine :) Any reason you couldn't do it yourself btw? -- aktsu ( t / c) 17:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Seems like good advice to me. I see your point on information you get from interviewing someone not being eligible to be put on WP (I previously ran into just that problem when a person which there wasn't much info about had done a interview for a British MMA website which had a *.tripod.com site (the website was quite a few years old), so although I didn't doubt the authenticity and correctness of the info, it simply couldn't be used), though it makes a whole lot more sense remembering the fake interview with Brock Lesnar that was posted on a (I think, although it was for sure reported on by) semi-reliable (as in almost passing WP:RS) website. They later claimed someone had hacked them at added it without them knowing, but I personally have a hard time believing that -- and even if it was true, that's not something that will happen to Sherdog or Yahoo.
As for sources, I know WP:VG has such a list so maybe we could make one too. I remember it was somewhat shot down the last time it was brought up though, so I dunno. I don't think I personally would have any problems with it. -- aktsu ( t / c) 14:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, wasn't sure if you noticed the IP removed content as well :) Yeah, in most cases it's much easier to simply revert (in one way or another; undo, rollback or using popups) than removing and reinserting. In this case all you needed was an "undo". -- aktsu ( t / c) 20:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Cage-Rulers-Logo-bluebackground.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I see your point on information you get from interviewing someone not being eligible to be put on WP (I previously ran into just that problem when a person which there wasn't much info about had done a interview for a British MMA website which had a *.tripod.com site (the website was quite a few years old), so although I didn't doubt the authenticity and correctness of the info, it simply couldn't be used), though it makes a whole lot more sense remembering the fake interview with Brock Lesnar that was posted on a (I think, although it was for sure reported on by) semi-reliable (as in almost passing WP:RS) website. They later claimed someone had hacked them at added it without them knowing, but I personally have a hard time believing that -- and even if it was true, that's not something that will happen to Sherdog or Yahoo.
As for sources, I know WP:VG has such a list so maybe we could make one too. I remember it was somewhat shot down the last time it was brought up though, so I dunno. I don't think I personally would have any problems with it. -- aktsu ( t / c) 14:47, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, wasn't sure if you noticed the IP removed content as well :) Yeah, in most cases it's much easier to simply revert (in one way or another; undo, rollback or using popups) than removing and reinserting. In this case all you needed was an "undo". -- aktsu ( t / c) 20:29, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Cage-Rulers-Logo-bluebackground.gif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
