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  00:13, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Nationality
Just so you know, per WP:INFONAT you don't need to list nationality if it's the same as birthplace. Nswix (talk) 21:09, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Cassiopeia. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Attila Végh, 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  00:00, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at José Aldo, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you.  Cassiopeia  talk  00:02, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

MMA fighter style and source verification
Hi Txbcys, good day. Pls note that all your edits on MMA fighter style and stand were reverted as 1. All info added or changed needs to be supported by indepedent, reliable source for verification as this is the core policy of Wikipedia. 2. Info on the infobox for the MMA fighter is based on the source of Sherdog.com (source can be found at the bottom of the infobox) and all info that can not be derived from Sherdog need to be sourced by independent, reliable source 3. Fighting style - need to meet the guidelines of Wikipedia MMA guidelines - see here. Pls do note change anything until you have read the above link. Stay safe.

MMA related articles
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.

MMA info

 * 1) Pls visit 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 and not before, except 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.


 * 1) 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.
 * 2) Reach as per UFC.com as Sherdog dont have the info. Pls provide inline citation.
 * 3) Stand - need to provide inline citation. IF you can find source to support it, leave it blank
 * 4) 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.
 * 5) No Flag icon on info box or fight table.
 * 6) 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

 * 1) Pls read referencing to understand about referencing and how to provide inline citation.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with . Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four tildes.


 * 1) I have sent you the welcome message and pls pop to my talk page if you need any assistance as I am here to help. Thank you. Cassiopeia</b>   talk  00:13, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Brian Ortega
Hey @Txbcys. Please leave parameter "style" blank (ie the name of the martial art practiced ) to biographical articles of MMA fighters; per Template:Infobox martial artist and WP:MMA. Thanks Lewolka (talk) 13:38, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

Black belts
Please don't change 'black belt' to 'first degree black belt', like you did on Jose Aldo. I could see how you could mistake them, but they're not the same thing. Thanks. Nswix (talk) 14:27, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

July 2023
Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Kade Ruotolo. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use your sandbox. ''Stop changing black belts to 1st deg. black belts. They are not the same thing.'' Nswix (talk) 04:08, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Style parameters
Hi. It seems I'm not the first editor to ask this. Please do acknowledge us! We don't use style in infoboxes unless the fighter has international or professional competition experience in the martial art and would deserve an article on account of that experience alone. Therefore, Cormier would have wrestling as his style, but Wonderboy would not have karate. If in doubt, leave empty. NEDOCHAN (talk) 16:19, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Final warning on changing belts
I'm not going to explain to you that black belt and first degree black belt are different things everytime you change it. Next time I'm just reporting you to Administrator intervention against vandalism Nswix (talk) 20:34, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

August 2023
Please do not add or change content, as you did at Tyron Woodley, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article.
