Talk:Jim Wallhead

Northern Ireland flag
I have yet again removed this flag, which ceased to be official in 1973. No evidence has been provided that the limited sporting contexts in which it is still used include mixed martial arts. O Fenian (talk) 17:16, 13 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'm not going to revert it again as this is on the verge of an edit war, which I really don't want to take place. Obviously this topic is something that you feel strongly about, which is why I suggest that you work to change the "flagicon" of "Northern Ireland" to the UK flag or even have the link deactivated.
 * Putting in "flagicon | Northern Ireland" only comes up with this Ulster flag, so to avoid confusion, maybe try that?
 * While I still disagree slightly with your view, considering the usage of this flag in other sports, I'm going to leave it be. Paralympiakos (talk) 17:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 * The Ulster Banner is only used in very limited circumstances where the governing body of the sport use it, flags should never be used to show birthplace. So if he has represented his place of birth in international competion and it is used by the governing body then I would have no objection to its addition, if not then it doesn't go in.

Few Edits
I tried to put more info about Jimmy's history in there.

Plus here are a few points

Style wise - He is a lot more than just Judo - he trains in Muay Thai and No-BJJ/Submission Wrestling (He has even had 3 or 4 K-1 style fights)

He also started his career as a LHW in a semi pro fight and then moved to MW and then WW. I can fill in that history from when he left Judo/Martial Arts and how he got involved in MMA

And maybe patch in a bit more info too —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.49.153 (talk) 00:28, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Good work, really. However, I have one slight issue. Is some of the new material directly copied and pasted from the sources given? I haven't had the chance to look at any of the sources yet, but what concerns is that there were speech marks that were not in the "Wikipedia" font, so to speak.


 * It leads me to worry that some of the new detail is copyrighted material, that would need to be removed. I'm not accusing you by any means, as I've not checked, but I just want to ask to ensure that the info is allowed to be on the page.


 * Finally, that Haddock guy, is he Northern Irish? I noticed that you changed his flag to the from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Paralympiakos (talk) 00:36, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

-- Haddock is Irish (i thought he was NI but i just doubled checked

Show me what you are worried about and i can change it. Anything that is "" has been cited. hardly anything has been copied and pasted and some has come directly from interviews with Jim

I'm a bit of a noob at this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.49.153 (talk) 00:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Just occasions like this:

"“This is exactly what I’ve been wanting. Let down after let down came my way but now good things are happening.”

I'm not sure if it shows up in the main page when I hit save page, but if you look at that quote above on the edit function, you'll see double sets of " " s. Now what I'm worried about is that you've done similarly with other bits of info.

As far as I know, it's cool for quotes when the source is provided (as you've done), but as I say, I'm just worried that stuff like "Jim was the X champion" may not be in your own words, but rather that of an editor of a proper page on another website. If that's not the case, then it's all cool.

Is there any chance you could provide info of what you've copied and pasted, just so it can be checked? Cheers

Also, as a P.s. really good work. A lot of stuff in there that I didn't know. A little pointer as well; you should make an account on here instead of using a basic IP. Would make name recognition a lot easier too for future edits. Paralympiakos (talk) 01:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks - i will do an account in the morning

Looking at it it's all my own words apart from the quotes that are sorted.

Also the profile from CageWarriors.com is my own work - I also have a profile / fan shot photo of Jim too - how do you upload that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.7.49.153 (talk) 01:57, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Alright, just comment here when you do. As for a file upload, on the left side of the page, under "toolbox," you'll see "Upload file"

Have a look at that and see that it meets criteria. Paralympiakos (talk) 02:03, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
