Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Cassiopeia talk 23:33, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

January 2023

Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, UFC 287, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 19:43, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

UFC fighters rankings

Hi, DamianLillard. pls note that when you updating the rankings, pls also change the source and not just updated the ranking only for the info needs to be supported by the source for verification. Secondly, if you want to update the UFC rankings then update all the the divisions including all the males and females fighters and not only selective ones as I an another editors update all the rankings weekly and for editor only updated fighters as they like we have to recheck all the necessary rankings for all the fighters. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 02:09, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Sean Brady (fighter), without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Cassiopeia talk 22:56, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Jack Della Maddalena, you may be blocked from editing. Cassiopeia talk 22:57, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Luis Peña (fighter), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

A "bare URL and missing title" error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 15:32, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MMA related info

Hi DamianLiIlard,

Greetings. Since you have edited a number of pages of MMA related articles in Wikipedia, pls see the below info so you may understand how things work here. (Take your time to read it and if needed, pls go through them a few times to understand the info as it is a long list here).

Pls visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts and read through the MMA Wikipedia guidelines.
When a bout is announced which stating "finalizing, in work, rumors, verbally agreed, in the press, this means the bout is not official yet. Wait until it official before place it under the "Announced bouts" section of the event page.
When a bout is announced in the press, editors put the match up in the "Announced bouts" section (inline citation is needed)
When UFC.com / its local web site (pls check the reference beneath the fight card table in the Wikipedia page), the editors would remove the bout in the "Announced bouts" and place it in the "fight card" section.
When a fighter pulls from a fight (due to injury/or by UFC/ visa issues and etc), we placed the info in the "Background section" (inline citation needed) and remove the injured fighter name and put "TBD".
When a injured fighter has been replaced, editor put the info in the background section (with inline citation). If the new match up has not been shown in the UFC.com fight card, then we will removed the match up from the fight card and place it back to "Announced section". If the match up already shown in the UFC.com then jut put the replacement fighter in the fight card section.
When the event named has been announced (such as UFC Fight Night: dos Santos vs. Tuivasa) then we place the info in the background section (with inline citation). If UFC.com has shown the event names (Fight Night events or UFC on ESPN) such as UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Medeiros or UFC on ESPN: Reyes vs. Weidman, then editor would move the article and article talk page name accordingly and not before, except the flagship event such as UFC 187, UFC 242 and etc.
No colour box in the fighter's page infobox at event fight card page. No title eliminator in the fight card or body text in fighter page or event page. No (c) - champion on the event fight card unless the fighter is the current champion of the weight division.
"method" in the fight table is as per Sherdog.com as per WP:MMA guideline and please do not interpret the method yourself even if the method is incorrect as Wikipedia is all about WP:verification and not the true.
Info box as per Sherdog. No other nick names or else we would have many nicknames pop up every time there is a internet meme.
Reach as per UFC.com as Sherdog dont have the info. Pls provide inline citation.
Stand - need to provide inline citation. IF you can find source to support it, leave it blank
Style - "The style parameter should only be used in MMA fighters that have participated professionally or in international competitions in other combat sports (i.e. boxing or kickboxing) and who are notable in said sports and deserve an article for their merits in these other sports (i.e. Antônio Rogério Nogueira, Alistair Overeem). It is suggested to MMA editors that they actively remove the style parameter in infoboxes of MMA fighters that do not meet these criteria." Leave style for modern mma fighter as they have to train several combat disciplines.
No Flag icon on info box or fight table.
Info could be obtain from Sherdog on Info box - need to support by sources such as teachers, belts, notable relatives, university, occupation outside fighting career and etc.

General info

Pls read referencing to understand about referencing and how to provide inline citation.
Leave a brief edit summary before saving you edit, so other editors know the nature of your edit for Wikipedia is the collaboration work from many editors.

Inline citation (adding source)

Hi DamianLiIlard. Good day, You can to use the horizontal format of Template:Citeweb if the source is from the web instead just using the ref opened and closed format as the format doest not include everything needed. Another way to include inline citation (much easier and quicker) is to use Wikipedia:VisualEditor first by enable the Visual Editor (click on the Enable VisualEditor link) and click on "Read VisualEditor's User Guide" to understand how to use the system. It is very easy as all you have to do after you enable Visual Editor is to copy and paste the URL of the source into the field and all the parameters will be auto filled for your (except the author - sometimes as the system might not able to detect it), so we might have to fill it yourself. See the different example here of other editor' edit (the inline citation on the body text and the reference section) and my edit - using Visual editor tool on the same page on both body text and the reference section by using Visual Editor. Pls use the Visual Editor when adding source. Be safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 03:01, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Damian LiIlard, pls read the MMA list which I sent to you again. Your edits on the above page have been reverted. Pls do not change the event name and adding any bouts until it is shown on the UFC event page. Cassiopeia talk 02:59, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
