Little note
Hi Cass - I had hoped after all the effort we have both put in that you might spare me lines like 'please read WP:MMA'. I am disappointed that you feel that that's a fair comment.NEDOCHAN (talk) 15:49, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
- NEDOCHAN Greetings. Sorry for not elaborate of my comments as I thought you have read them on the Nick Diaz talk page. I place them below for your perusal.
- "Since this is a mma match, in Wikipedia we use the WP:MMABOX as the guidelines. Under the Note section it states "The column Notes is meant to be used for information related to the bout, including but not limited to special rules, awards earned, failure to make weight and similar. Do not use it to put irrelevant text such as "MMA Debut", "UFC debut", "Cut from the UFC" or similar text not directly related to the bout." In that sense, the BMF belt is directly related to the bout and if we would put a fighter missing weight for title belt, or debut in XXXweight, or won TUF fight (which no belt was handed out but a trophy which is a TV series/tournament. created by UFC), as per guidelines, I dont think it create any harm to include the well sourced BMF belt in the note section, after all it is a note to viewer."
- Once again, my apology if I upset you and thank you for letting me know about it. All in all I and I believe other editors do share my view that we apprecaite you contribution and have provide a lot of help to Wikipedia especially the mma related pages. Stay safe Nedo Chan and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:43, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Put in lots of work per yours (and other users) requests but edits only showing when logged in?
Hi there, I've put in a LOT of work per your request (and a couple of others too) in regards to merging the UFC television shows to the Ultimate Fighting Championship as you requested when you declined the UFC Now draft numerous times (it is a much better idea to have them in the article as opposed to separate articles), however I've done a really great job at merging the pages into the Television part with the info as you can see on the page. I am a little confused as when I'm not logged into my account the changes aren't showing but when I log in it shows that they are there now and all the hard work I put in (as yourself and many asked) is there. Can you please let me know why they only show when logged in please (maybe due to being a popular page it just needs to be approved which is fine) however I would be really upset if all that work went to waste specially when I did this at people's request. A lot of editors put work into the other pages too so you can understand how important this is that the work isn't disrespected. You'll be able to see anyway on the page which one's I've done, there's a few which are quite extensive such as The Ultimate Fighter for example which probably should remain as a separate article however UFC Now has been merged from the draft per yours and others requests and I've also merged UFC Unleashed, UFC Connected and UFC Tonight as they were very short stubs (much smaller than the draft for UFC Now) which I know didn't need their own article space either so you can feel free to put those pages in for deletion now I've merged the pages as per requests from yourself and some of the other editors on the UFC Now draft here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:UFC_Now
There is also a small note to help other editors on the Television section of [Ultimate Fighting Championship]] to help yourself and other editors please, however if you can make sure that the hard work and edits I've put in are fully there please it would be so much appreciated as I just looked on my phone (without being logged in) and also on my desktop (also without being logged in) and all my hours of hard work to do this for those who have asked and to make Wiki better with this isn't showing unless I'm logged in, which has frustrated me a little to be honest.
Please also see the notes in the edit history on [Ultimate Fighting Championship]] too so you can see what I've done to help and make this better for people as well as the hard work I've just put in, which isn't for nothing of course and thank you!! :)
PS I think it's a great idea you requesting this and is much better than the separate pages, so I've finally done all the work I was asked for to do on this which took me a long time so I don't want going to waste and thanks. Music Editor 2017 (talk) 19:28, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Music Editor 2017 and UFC Cub Beavis: Hi Music Editor 2017, Have you recently change your username to "UFC Cub Beavis"as your talk page redirect to "UFC Cub Beavis talk page" and the Ultimate Fighting Championship recent edits which you have mentioned about is UFC Cub Beavis" editor - see HERE. If you have change your username, pls (very important) to mentioned in your userpage and your work is recorded in HERE. Stay safe and let me know if anything else I could help. Best. Cassiopeia(talk) 08:44, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- @Cassiopeia: Hi my friend, yes I put in a request last night to do this and when I've just logged on now it's changed while I was asleep :) I couldn't log in so had to use the new name to do so haha. Hope you're doing ok :) UFC Cub Beavis (talk) 11:03, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
Vaga Baby
I have been a member of the Wikipedia community for over 10 years. I have made many contributions over those 10 years. With regard to the Vaga Baby article, there are several reliable sources cited. Apple, Amazon, and iHeartRadio are a few of the sources that were used. These sources view Vaga Baby as a notable celebrity. It would not be fair or reasonable to delete an article that contains citations from the aforementioned sources. Techno31 (talk) 15:25, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
- Techno31 Greetings. You have voice your comment on the AfD which is the right venue, so I will reply there. Thank you. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:09, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
Okay, thank you. I need a few more days to get the references updated. I will add a few more reliable news sources. Techno31 (talk) 13:30, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Read this in another language • Subscription list
The Editing team has been working on the talk pages project. The goal of the talk pages project is to help contributors communicate on wiki more easily. This project is the result of the Talk pages consultation 2019.
The team is building a new tool for replying to comments now. This early version can sign and indent comments automatically. Please test the new Reply tool.
- On 31 March 2020, the new reply tool was offered as a Beta Feature editors at four Wikipedias: Arabic, Dutch, French, and Hungarian. If your community also wants early access to the new tool, contact User:Whatamidoing (WMF).
- The team is planning some upcoming changes. Please review the proposed design and share your thoughts on the talk page. The team will test features such as:
- an easy way to mention another editor ("pinging"),
- a rich-text visual editing option, and
- other features identified through user testing or recommended by editors.
To hear more about Editing Team updates, please add your name to the "Get involved" section of the project page. You can also watch these pages: the main project page, Updates, Replying, and User testing.

Logan Storley
Hey Cassiopeia, hope u r doing well on quarantine times. I created the draft of Logan Storley but it says the page already exists. The article does not exists, it simply redirects you to List of current Bellator fighters and I'm not able to move the page bc of it. Could u help me out with that 1 m8? Thank u. - PabloLikesToWrestle 14:51, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
- PabloLikesToWrestle Greetings. Stortely is not notable for a MMA fighter as he does not have any top tier promotion fights (UFC/Invicta) - see WP:NMMA ; however he is notable for WP:NCOLLATH as a medalist for D1 NCAA wrestler. The subject page has been created and rediret to List of current Bellator fighters. What you can do is to copy the content from Draft:Logan Storley to HERE and place {{Db-G7}} (delete page requested by creator) on Draft:Logan Storley. The Draft:Logan Storley then will delete by admin. Let me know if anything else I could help. Stay safe. Best Cassiopeia(talk)
- Hey again Cassiopeia. I already posted the article of Logan, thanks for ur assistance. Today I checked my watchlist and I had all of my articles there, except there was Kyle Dake in there and I’m not sure why. I did create his record section which is like 10,000 words but I didn’t create it so it looks kinda peculiar to me. I also created a section of +10,000 in David Taylor but it didn’t appear, so it’s even weirder. It would be less strange if Spencer Lee appeared instead of Dake as I pretty much recreated the whole article but it’s just that question, why is a dude whose page I didn’t create in my watchlist? Stay safe, best to u and your family :) PabloLikesToWrestle (talk) 22:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
- PabloLikesToWrestle Greetings. You edits on Kyle Dake is HERE-1, for David Taylor (wrestler, born 1990) is HERE-2, and the Spencer Lee edits are HERE-3. You need to provide the source where you add in the info that would make the article notable. (See WP:42, WP:PROVEIT, and Tempete:Cite Web for how to add the source) What you can do is to click the "View History" on the top of the article page and you would see all the edits log on the article. To remove the watchlist of a page just got to the page and click the "blue highlighted star" off (make it no color). The star symbol is next to the "view history" on the article menu bar on the top section of the article page. Let me know if you need further assistance. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:31, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

If you are still interest in CVUA program after reading the message, then let me know so I would set up the program for you. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 05:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Expertise please :)
Hello!
I heard you are the person to talk to! I am very invested in learning more about Wikipedia and how to become a proper editor/ advocate for fair and descent postings.
Think you can help show me the ropes ;) ?

- Hi F&INerd Good day. I had a look at your edit here, the reason for the revert and the warning message is not only the telephone number was presented in the citation that caused the the filter blocked, but you have removed a chunk of "sourced content" without a good reason. I have placed a welcome message on your talk page and there are some basic editing and guidelines info for your to read. By the way, may I know which editor / which Wikipedia sites suggest yo to contact me on the request above? Let me know if you have any specific thing you need to know and I am here to help. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (

Now that the TV pages are merged
Can you be so kind to review the pages UFC Unleashed, UFC Connected and UFC Tonight to see if they can be nominated for deletion now that we've kindly merged the pages as requested by many. Also, what do you think to UFC Ultimate Insider, UFC Primetime, UFC All Access and Fox UFC? Do you feel any of these pages should be merged as they are a little more extensive (some more than others). You decide what you feel with these ones (The Ultimate Fighter obviously needs to keep its space). Thanks UFC Cub Beavis (talk) 11:18, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- UFC Cub Beavis Hi, as long as you dont find any independent newspaper talk about the subject then you can AfD them. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 11:57, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
- Cassiopeia Hiya, I'm not sure what that means but they have been merged now as requested so the pages UFC Unleashed, UFC Connected and UFC Tonight are no longer needed :) I'll let you decide on the other pages (UFC Ultimate Insider, UFC Primetime, UFC All Access and Fox UFC) if you feel they should be merged or not as I'm unsure about these one's with them being a bit more extensive. Thanks :) UFC Cub Beavis (talk) 12:44, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

I Need More Help
I got a message that someone is reporting me, in order to ban me?? Something called an SPI investigation..unlike the guy 'reporting me' I have not posted anything biased or libel or rude or even controversial, so I do not understand...I am beginning to feel bullied 😢. I am also suspicious...he is not let anyone else in. His way or the highway? Is Wiki like that? Please help!
To further the problem, he is now requesting to get the page locked - does that not disrupt the use of Wikipedia? Can I request to lock it then? Is that what I have to do?
F&INerd (talk) 01:59, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
- F&INerd Edits made by you have consistently been disruptive to the article in question. You've inserted unsourced information that is not contained within the citations you provide and additionally you've editorialized and again removed cited information. I have a general concern that your account has an unstated conflict of interest in regards to this article. I've asked for a sockpuppet investigation to be opened in regards to this account and the account DrWillow. Since the edits made by you and DrWillow are nearly identical it is my belief that this is a new account you made after having been repeatedly warned about editorializing and editing with a conflict of interest. I'm requesting the article be locked so that no more disruptive editing can take place. Hyderabad22 (talk) 03:24, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
The page has gotten locked before, each time it is edited - but without good reason or detailed information. You are not giving anyone an inch. You will see I reference and cite all material. Yet there is removal of perfectly sourced material, instead placing surface sourced libel in it's place - against Wiki policy. Rather than communicate, you insist on locking, and having it contain biased, inaccurate libel. Is it not Wiki policy to correct such slander and backhanded standards? Your standards of 'disruptive' are heavily biased. I am indeed getting bullied by you sir, and will insist this is harassment and against Wiki standards.

Attribution
Hi, Cassiopeia! (I much prefer your new username). I may be wrong, but it seems that you copied some text from Draft:Leptonotus blainvilleanus into Deep-bodied pipefish. That's absolutely fine of course, but the stuff wasn't written by you, so it needs to be attributed to the original author. I've done that in this case, but it's required (by the terms of our CC licence) any time you move or re-use content, so if there've been other times when you've done so, perhaps you could go back and do the same for them too. My tip: the {{copied}} template is a bit cumbersome to use, and in many cases just attributing the copying in your edit summary should be good enough. Oh, if I've misread the page histories, do please say so! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:48, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- Justlettersandnumbers Greetings. Thank you for the message and noted. I think (I dont remember as it was more than 6 months ago) I reviewed (new page) the articles. I tend to add in more sources into to the article so it could meet GNG and this article is one of those example which I added about 5 sources and added 2 short sentences. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 12:01, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- Justlettersandnumbers Greetings. reword here. Cassiopeia(talk) 06:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Hi! I'm worried that I haven't been quite clear: it is absolutely fine to copy content from one page or part of Wikipedia to another, it's specifically allowed under the terms of our licence; the only thing is that we need to provide attribution in one way or another when we do so. So there was no need to reword anything at Deep-bodied pipefish, it was fine. As it happens, your reword changed the meaning, so I've re-reworded it, hope that's OK? Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:41, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Justlettersandnumbers I know small amount of copy is allowed I just forget to the attribution. thanks for the revert btw. Cheers. Cassiopeia(talk) 10:44, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Cassiopeia, within Wikipedia any amount of copying is allowed as long as it's attributed; and yes, sometimes that attribution is easy to forget. Anyway, all is in order with that little page, on with the next! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:00, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

One of your students, ToeFungii Has been blocked for SP. Just for you to know that you do not have to worrie about that student. Best, Signed,The4lines |||| (You Asked?) (What I have Done.) 17:18, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- The4lines, G'day. I saw and it is common that some participants join the program just in hope to get certain user rights which they formerly been banned and come back as a SP. I thank you very much for informing in such matter and others as well. Stay safe The4lines wherever you reside as I am in a safe place where no a single covid-19 case for the last 2/3 weeks and and restrictions are being lifted gradually by our govt but we are isolated (no travelling in or out) from the rest of the world for maybe 1-1.5 years to come. best.

- Thats good, I live in southern california so there is still a bunch of Covid 19 cases, and we can't go traveling anywhere. The good thing is that I live in a suburb of San diego. (30-40 min from downtown of SD) And 2 hours from LA. Best, Signed,The4lines |||| (You Asked?) (What I have Done.) 14:18, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Chase Hooper
Hey Cassiopeia, writing to you to tell you about the article of Chase. Even if he still wasn't eligible as an MMA fighter, he's a Pan American champion and Pan American runner-up and I think that's enough to create his article. Same with Askar Askarov, he's a Deaflympic Gold medalist as a freestyle wrestler and that should be enough to be eligible.— Preceding unsigned comment added by PabloLikesToWrestle (talk • contribs) 12:36, May 23, 2020 (UTC)
- PabloLikesToWrestle Greetings. If he is a black belt International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation medalist and if you would provide independent, reliable source (from newspaper and not from any sites which would link to him) then it would be sufficed. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia(talk) 04:07, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
Nope
@CASSIOPEIA:I am doing what suppose be done. RM was made for community input during these COVID-19 issue affecting these UFC events. This is no longer content dispute. I am reviewing some user actions to see what going. The direct moves, new ufc events pages, and non discussed changes has been done. To be honestly these a very very simple issues that would of been fixed without question. It part of WP general fixes. This mess is unacceptable and i reviewing whats really going on. Regice2020 (talk) 06:30, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
- Regice2020 Greetings. I think you must have mistaken. I was not talking about merge but name of the article. UFN is on ESPN+, UFC on ESPN is on ESPN. UFC XXX is PPV event. We move page from UFN XXX or UFC on ESPN+ xxx to UFC Fight Night: xxx vs. xxx when the headliner is official confirmed which how it is done for many many years. Stay safe and best.
