UFC Fight Night: Eye vs. Calvillo

Hi Nbuckingham10, Greetings. I have reverted your edit of the above page. Pls leave the fight table in vertical format as per norm and not gathered them in one line. Thank you. Cassiopeia^(talk) 09:31, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Cassiopeia, thanks for making me aware of this mistake. It should be all sorted now. Nbuckingham10. 09:53, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

MMA related pages

Hi Nbuckingham10, Greetings. Since you have edited a number of pages of MMA related articles in Wikipedia, pls see the below.

1. Pls visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts and read through the MMA Wikipedia guidelines.
2. 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.
3. When a bout is announced in the press, editors put the match up in the  "Announced bouts" section (inline citation is needed)
4. 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.
5. 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".
6. 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.
7. 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 accept the flagship event such as UFC 187, UFC 242 and etc.
8. 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.
9. "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.
10. 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.
11. Reach as per UFC.com as Sherdog dont have the info. Pls provide inline citation.
12. Stand - need to provide inline citation. IF you can find source to support it, leave it blank
13. 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.
14. No Flag icon on info box or fight table.
15. 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.
16. Pls read referencing to understand about referencing and how to provide inline citation.
17. 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.
18. To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Ping|Cassiopeia}}. Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~).
19. I have sent you the welcome message, kindly register and read through links. Thank you.

Btw, you need to ping the editor who you intent to send the message to so they would receive a notification - see WP:Ping. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia^(talk) 10:05, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

@Cassiopeia: Hi Cassiopeia, many thanks for all the information. I will take care to read it. Nbuckingham10 (talk) 10:49, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nbuckingham10, I have corrected your ping (see in source editing mode - on the top right menu - click the pencil icon). Let me know if anything else I could do for you for I am to help. Welcome to Wikipedia and Wikipedia MMA community. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia^(talk) 10:57, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nbuckingham10. RE:UFC Fight Night 175 - pls do not remove the lead section citations. We will tidy up the sources and the text when the event is over as we normally do. The the bouts from the "Announced bouts" section will be removed and place in the fight card section when the bout is shown on UFC event web site. Do observe how things work here first for at least until the event finish so you may understand. Thank you. Cassiopeia^(talk) 09:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
