Tyron Woodley's Birthday

Cris Cyborg - request for help
Hi Cassiopeia, IP user 136.49.166.71 has edited the Cris Cyborg talk page in a way that ignores the consesus about the issue reached on the article's talk page (here). After I reverted it and wrote on their talkpage, they undid my revert. I reverted again, but I'm fairly certain they don't inted to stop editing the article in a way that goes directly against the talkpage consensus. I feel like this constitutes for disruptive editing, but I'm not sure what steps should I take in such situation, as I don't feel like I know/understand enough about the wiki rules regarding this. I also want to avoid reverting the article anymore times. Because of this I decided to ask you, if you could either look at this issue, or advise me on what would be the right thing to do here. Thank you a lot for your time. Diana056 (talk) 23:19, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
List of UFC champions
In topic Bantamweight Championship, Aljamain Sterling is american, mas he is jamaican. He was born in the United States, but he has ancestry with jamaica and always represents jamaica in the UFC. It is different, for example, from Cain Velasquez, Anthonny Pettis who has ancestry with Mexico, but does not represent Mexico in competitions, despite having the support of Mexico.
I'm sending a link that shows the UFC broadcast of Aljamain Sterling's fight against Petr Yan and the flag of Jamaica appears next to his name. He OFFICIALLY represents Jamaica, although he also has the support of the Americans.

- Seedorf was also born in Suriname and represents the Netherlands in competition. Do You understand? It is the same concept.
- Sterling himself says that he is more Jamaican and that he represents the people there.

List of UFC champions
I would like to ask you not to change the "Multi-Division Champions" topic, because I corrected.
It is wrong to count the days of the provisional title in the "Multi-Division Champions", if the topic "The longest combined reigns" don't count. If you count, you have to count on both topics, right?
And if you count, George Saint Pierre will have 2349 days, as he had 112 days as an interim champion and not 119 days. You can check.
And McGregor was a lightweight champion for 511 days, not 611 days. If you go to the "Men's Lightweight Championship History" topic, you will confirm this information.
And in the title history of any division, you will see that the "X" number of days in the provisional titles is not counted, because champions interim are challenger and not the king of the division. They don't have reign.
thank you for answering me kindly in the other topic — Preceding unsigned comment added by João Fernandes Santos (talk • contribs) 06:15, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

New Page Patrol School
Hi, you nominated my latest article for deletion so it is only appropriate to ask you to become my mentor. I had recently applied for new page reviewer rights and was told that while I qualified with my attitude I needed more editing experience, complimented with some mentoring from experienced editors. So here I am! Let me know if you are available. Thank you! nearlyevil665 20:55, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- WP:NPPSCHOOLprogram is a comprehensive program which requires the participant to spend time to read provided material (WP pages) and do the assignments. The project consists of 3 parts with 10 assignments and 1 final exam. It covers notability, sources, tagging, wiki project, subsort, wiki content policies, CSD, PROPS, AfD, communication, review and much more topics. Participant usually takes 2-3 months to complete the program (it depends how much time you spend on the program), but there is no time frame set to complet the the program as each editor works on the assignments on their own pace.
- Many participant abandoned the program due to the find they need to spend more time on the assignments/reading material as they anticipate the amount of work and time needed. Once you have complete the program, you would equip with the knowledge to review new pages. If you have some personal commitment and need to take more than 7-10 days to work on the assignment, then just simply let me know. Let me know if you are still interest to join the program after reading the info above and if so, then pls complete the talk) 08:40, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

UFC 262 poster

- Okay, thank you. Also I uploaded a file to Colby Covington and posted it to his page. Is it an okay file? UFCFan26099292 (talk) 00:53, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Wait how would I edit/make it? UFCFan26099292 (talk) 00:57, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- UFCFan26099292 First of all I have change my user name from all high cap to sentence case more than a year ago. So you can called me Cassiopeia / Cass. Secondly, you dont need to ping me / or any editors if you write on their talk page as they will receive the notification anyway; however, you nee to ping the editor if you write a message in any other talk page (including your talk page) so they could receive the notification. Lastly, do add additonal ":" (colon} from the previous message thread for one space indentation to the right as this is the Wikipedia communication protocol in talk page to separate the messages.
- If Covington is an image you want to upload, then you need to do it in Wiki common. Make sure the image is free if copyright restriction, such as you are own the image (you are the one who took the photo), or the image is allowed to used under reusable Creative Commons CC BY license. Pls read talk) 01:11, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Antonina Shevchenko
Just as a heads up, in Antonina's article you removed three sources instead of two like you said in the edit summary, and the only source you left up is the source you said was insufficient. I'm assuming that was a mistake, so it would be good if you added the 1 acceptable source back (idk which one you meant, so I can't do that myself). Diana056 (talk) 22:48, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Seeking help with an article containing original research
Hello, we've interacted in the past and I've always found you approach helpful and your commitment Wikipedia guidelines admirable. I've discovered what I believe is a fairly severe violation of Wikipedia guidelines on original research and source reliability in the Care.com article. I've posted about it on the article's talk page, but no other editors have responded. Since I am a paid contributor (my COI is declared on the Talk page in multiple places), I am extremely reluctant to just act unilaterally. My hope is that you would be willing to take a look at my description of the problem on the Talk page and offer up an opinion to help get the ball rolling on some type of consensus, not matter what it ends up being.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Care.com
Before posting there, I described the situation to two editors I've worked with in the past, and they both agreed that this is a problem at some level. If things remain quiet, I'll also ask them to participate in the Talk page discussion as well. Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of the situation.

Could you train me in WP:CVUA?
Hello, I recently started editing on Wikipedia. I tend to edit a lot of political pages, so by nature it is prone to vandalism. I was wondering if you could train me in how to more easily spot vandalism and how to take it down effectively. Although English is not my first language, I always try to get better and better.

Yea that's the thing, imo he makes it hard to even notice that the guy of the article isn't in fact only Russian, probably because he's biased by his nationality. He wants to put it like "... is a Russian wrestler. He won ... while competing for Slovakia", which literally makes it seem like he's not Slovakian. This bias is made clearer by the insults, as he shows he's mad when the description of the article doesn't represent it as 100% Russian.

List of ONE Championship champion
I understood your concept about the Aljamain Sterling being American, because he was born and raised in the United States. Afterwards, I saw that he never lived in Jamaica, although his parents are Jamaican but it is complicated, because on other pages of MMA peoples don't have this understanding
On page of the "One championship, they directly change the nationality of Brandon Vera. He was born and raised in the United States. Angela and Christian Lee are Canadian, but they keep changing their nationality to Singapore.
I only wanted warn.— Preceding unsigned comment added by João Fernandes Santos (talk • contribs) 04:55, April 26, 2021 (UTC)
- João Fernandes Santo Good day and again, I believe this is the 4th time I have advised you to sign off with (4 x ~) at the end of your message for this is is the communication protocol in Wikipedia. There are many guidelines in Wikipedia and if you intend to be a long term editor (to be a Wikipedian), then pls read and follow the guidelines provided and take the advice of the more experienced editor for it is very tiring to keep on informing/reminding you and you continue to do the same thing.
- Before answering your questions above, pls note some background info/guidelines first. Wikipedia content needs to be supported by (1) WP:PROVEIT.
- Now back to you questions above. If Brandon Vera was born in US and Angela and Christian Lee were born in Canada and all of them are still the citizen of their birth countries (some countries do not recognize duel citizenship and would request the person to forgo one of the citizenship either by their birth country government or by their adopted century government) and their birth countries could be verified by independent, reliable sources than nationality of the birth countries should be used for the reason that the subject could have more than one adopted countries citizenship but only one country of birth, except if the subject just happened to born in country X for less than a month or two and move to other country and live there their whole life for some countries would not give the citizenship if you dont live there even you were born there).
- Now how do we due with different editors disagree with the content (content dispute)? If involved editors keep on revert each other edits, then invite the involved editors to the article talk page (pls ping them and also send a message on the editors' talk pages if they are IP editors as they would not get a notification from the ping) to discuss the issue in "civil" manner and always discuss the issues at hand and not attacking the editors. The discussion should be based on Wikipedia guidelines and seek a agreeable resolution. If discussion does not get a resolution, you can ask an experienced editor for comment.
- Please also understand WP:ANEWand the editor will be temporary blocked form editing. The other edit warring does not bound by time frame. As long as the involved editor keep on revert the edit (could be days to weeks) without open an discussion, they are still considered engaging in edit warring. So when it comes to content dispute, communication is the key and discussion would be based on Wikipedia guidelines.
