This week, we spent some time watching WikiProject Mixed Martial Arts. The project was started in August 2005 and grew to include 12 Good Articles and a Featured List. The project maintains a list of resources, keeps track of fighter biographies, runs its own bot, and provides a variety of templates. We interviewed TreyGeek.
What motivated you to join WikiProject Mixed Martial Arts? Are you also a fan of boxing, professional wrestling, or another form of martial arts?
Does the project focus primarily on pay-per-view events or does the project's scope also include articles describing events in the near and distant past? Are some eras better covered than others?
How much does mixed martial arts crossover with other forms of martial arts? Does WikiProject Mixed Martial Arts collaborate with any other projects? What can be done to improve communication between Wikipedia's martial arts projects?
Has it been difficult to find reliable independent sources about mixed martial arts? Where can editors find useful references when building mixed martial arts articles?
Are freely-licensed images available to illustrate articles about fighters and events? What are some useful tips for editors to acquire images for articles about mixed martial arts?
What are the project's most urgent needs? How can a new contributor help today?
Next week's article will delve into a Greco-Roman world. Until then, ponder our classic articles in the
archive.
