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.

MMA announced bouts
Hi Zaidania 24, Good day. Thank you for your edits on UFC announced bouts. Pls note that 1. https://mma.bg is considered not reliable source so is sportskeeda (Note: all info added need be supported by independent and reliable source.  So pls do not use it. 2. Pls find source that the annonced bout is talked about directly and in detail of the bout in stead of passing mentioned unless we really cannot find the source after a few days search. - example this-1 is consider good source where the info is directly tallk about the bout matchup and this-2 where you just used the source is considered not a good source because the bouts are passing mentioned (mentioned inone line only).

I will send you a list of general info and editing mma info so you may know the norm of edit mma in Wikipedia. If you need any help, pls come to my talk page as I am here to help. Thank again for your contribution. Be safe and best.  Cassiopeia  talk  03:41, 14 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Are there any unreliable sources of information? in case I can find it right when it's announced. Zaidania24 (talk) 03:49, 14 May 2023 (UTC)


 * We dont use any social media, forum, fighter web/social site, UFC and ESPN sources as they are considered not independent for UFC events or fighters' pages (ESPN has a 7+ years broadcasting contract and UFC fighters are in contracts with UFC so they are condered not independent and also UFC is a promotional company same as ONE, PFL, Bellator and etc. they are considered not reliable sources. Sources are independent and reliable such as MMA junkie, MMA Fighting, Cageside, Sherdog, Lowkick, Eurosport (Holland), TSN (Canada), Fight News Australia (Austraia), MMA PL (Poland), MMA Viking (Nordic countries), Combat (Brazil), La Sueur (France), and any major newspapers in the world (note: sources can be in any language). Let me know if you need further assistance. Cassiopeia   talk  04:14, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

MMA related articles
Hi Zaidania24, 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.
 * 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.

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, kindly read the links/guidelines. Lastly, I do strongly suggest you to complete WP:TWA short program (90mins) so you may familiar with some fundamental Wikipedia guidlines which will help you tremendously on editing and interacting with other editors. Be safe and best and welcome to Wikipedia MMA community.  Cassiopeia   talk  03:45, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, but the event wikipedia of Bellator MMA, PFL and ONE Championship is it possible Zaidania24 (talk) 03:53, 14 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Same rules of thumb applied for all MMA events/diff promotions and fighters pages. Cassiopeia</b>  talk  04:15, 14 May 2023 (UTC)

Again - pls use source that directed state the match up
Hi, Again, pls use source that directly state the match up instate of using round up info or just listed in the event bouts from the source unless after many days of looking for the info and you still can not find them. Pls remember this! <b style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:105%;color:#FF8000"> Cassiopeia</b>  talk  00:46, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I think taking announced by matchup roundup is still. Because, I couldn't find a reliable reference and had to wait for announced fight card by official. Zaidania24 (talk) 13:14, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
