BJJFan

Hi Niteshift, I want to start updating some of the bjj fighters information on wiki.what would wiki consider reliable sources? I mean the only reliable source of bjj information seems to be from articles and news web sites spread out through the internet. Here are some examples: ], ] , ], those are the major online news for bjj and mma in the world. They publish monthly magazines as wellI mean would you consider those reliable sources? If not we have to shut down every major bjj competitor, because most information come from these sites. Also I've notice some fighters are adding the tournament results and fight records, in which are detailed information about their matches, what do you think about that? --Bjjfan232 (talk) 03:17, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Sean Hannity

Greetings, Niteshift! I've asked an admin whom I respect greatly to weigh in on the whole Sean Hannity/waterboarding/sock puppet issue. Though he and I have collaborated on several articles in the past, we come from very distinct worldviews. As a self-described conservative Christian, he's actually probably more inclined to side with you, although I trust him completely to strive for a neutral point of view. (Not saying you don't... but again, I've worked with him many times.) Mainly, I'm hoping he can get to the bottom of the issue of sockpuppets and SPA's thwarting our efforts at consensus building. Looking forward to working with him, and you! -- JeffBillman (talk) 23:52, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Please don't think that I've supported the inclusion of the waterboarding statement because I want to see criticism of him for the sake of criticism — I believe that it's better included as an example of his political views on a touchy subject. And your userboxes — see mine if you've not already looked. I'm not suspecting you of being a staffer working with a hidden POV :-) Nyttend (talk) 13:19, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

• After giving the matter quite a bit of thought, I decided I agree with you on the Hal Turner issue. It's just not notable to an article on Sean Hannity. Indeed, about all that is notable about Hannity's days at WABC is that which already appears in the article-- and I say that as a fan of Hannity since shortly before his leaving WGST. (Yes, really! A non-traditional Libertarian who is a fan of a faithful Catholic conservative. Whodda thunk it? ;-) ) What worries me, though, is how the article has been redacted to the point that it does now seem to be askew of NPOV. And although the POV I think it now represents is not my own, that does not make it any more worrisome to me than if it had taken a POV that more closely matches my own. Cheers! -- JeffBillman (talk) 00:49, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that you been editing the Gang article . I just created a Portal (Portal:Gang) I need your help. If you have time, Can you help add some content to my portal. I would appreciate it, Thanks.--Zink Dawg -- 06:44, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

International Sport Combat Federation

Hey there Niteshift! I've been in touch with Steve Fossum, the president of the ICSF, and we've been trying to work on getting the article up to notability standards. He sent me the following, and while it needs work, I'm wondering if the references he's provided satisfy your interpretation of the notability guidelines. Let me know what you think whenever you get a chance. Thanks in advance ocee 21:47, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

International Sport Combat Federation - ISCF

The International Sport Combat Federation (ISCF) is an international sanctioning body regulating mixed martial arts and submission grappling and is based out of Newcastle, California, USA. http://www.iscfmma.com/ISCFLogoSMWH.jpg

WHAT IS THE ISCF? The ISCF was the first ever Sanctioning Body for the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) created in 1999. Other than the annual ISCF Amateur World Classic (The Golden Gloves of MMA) The ISCF does not Promote events and is NOT a Promotional Company. The ISCF is a "Sanctioning Body" for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) events just like other sanctioning bodies for fight sports (Kickboxing: IKF, ISKA, WKA, USKBA etc. - Boxing: WBC, IBF, WBC etc.).

SANCTIONING When the ISCF is called upon to SANCTION an event, the name of the event does not change. In fact, very little does change. The ISCF works with each Promoter and or Promotional Company individually. The ISCF assigns and approves all event officials that have been trained and certified as ISCF Officials.

RULES The ISCF is sometimes asked to follow the rules and requirements of a jurisdictions Athletic Commission of the region the event is promoted in. If so, some ISCF Rules and Regulations may vary to meet the requirements of the State or jurisdiction of the event.

The ISCF Mission For Mixed Martial Arts... "Safety, Credibility, Fairness, Recognition, Support & Unification of Mixed Martial Arts Around The World"

"The goal of the International Sport Combat Federation is to regulate safe and fair rules and regulations and help provide exposure and opportunities for local, regional, national and international competition among amateur and professional mixed martial arts fighters, trainers, promoters and officials. We will, through adherence to and enforcement of these rules and regulations, strive to make competitive mixed martial arts fighting a safe and fair sport as we continue to help bring exposure to and enhance the present as well as the future of the sport we serve, Mixed Martial Arts." Steve Fossum, President International Sport Combat Federation

Just wondering why we still can't have our page up? Can someone contact us to let us know what we are STILL missing or not doing???

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.5.252.203 (talk) 02:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

There are 13 sources on that list. Of them, 10 fail WP:RS as reliable sources. 3 remaining three confirm that ISCF exists, which nobody disputes, but they don't provide significant coverage of the organization. The only one that comes close is the one from the News Blaze, but it focuses on the event, not on the organization. It sounds like it was a great event, but the article only states that you sanctioned it and that the ring girls were from the ISCF. Do you know of any articles that actually talk about the org? You know, something that say "this is who they are, this is what they do" kind of thing. Niteshift36 (talk) 02:48, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Biographies of Living persons solution?

Please review this "projectification" proposal, to see if it is feasible. Harsh criticism is very welcome! I am looking to remedy any potential objections by the community. Your opinion is especially vital as someone who has different views than me, but still proposed the userfication idea.

Thanks. Okip (formerly Ikip) 03:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

7 days? I modified. I would like to leave it up to the individual project, but 7 days is fine. Good point. Let me know what you think of the modified version. Okip (formerly Ikip) 04:26, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

wow, i could really like you

I love your user page, I love everything in your "My Boxes". Well, everything but coffee. No, that's not true, I love coffee too, I just can't drink it any more. Seems we got off to a bad start there in US Secret Service, did I strike a nerve? I see you (like myself) served in uniform. We both enjoy firearms, democracy, conservativism, martial arts, political incorrectness, fatherhood, and sci fi (the weirder the better).

Thanks for the tips on the standards to meet in putting together a new SS section.

Niteshift36, you're edits seem well put and truthful on the Fox News page. I have tried to make the lead of the NYT article congruent with the lead of the Fox News but the editors seem more interested in their bias opinion. It would be a great help to the wiki community if you reviewed my latest edit and post on the discussion page. Thank you! DeltoidNoob (talk) 22:00, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Improper canvassing?

Hi Niteshift36. PrBeacon has asked the ideologically sympathetic Gamaliel to join in the disputes at the FNC article: http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Gamaliel#Fox_News_Channel . Since you're a longer-term editor, I was wondering if you thought that this is in violation of WP:CANVAS. Thanks.--Drrll (talk) 23:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps it is, or not. I only asked the one editor to weigh in so the scope was very limited. And it was done in the interest of balancing our discussion since the FNC talk seems stacked with so many who defend FoxNews. Anyway, Nite you're free to leave the canvassing allegation on the talkpage, I really don't care. That's why I removed my comments after that. Let others decide. PrBeacon (talk) 05:59, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

• Maybe you didn't notice, I removed it last night after we agreed to clean up the discussion. For the record, I truly do believe it was canvassing. Certainly not the most egregious example of it, but it wasn't neutral and that is the bigger key to me than anything else. If the message had been "There is a discussion here that might interest you", I probably wouldn't have batted an eye. Niteshift36 (talk) 14:08, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

• Probably not, because I don't want this message to spawn a spurious canvassing complaint. But he's flirting with a 3RR if he keeps it up. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:43, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

3RR more relates to main article content. LibStar (talk) 06:46, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

It can be applied to a AfD. "A "page" means any page on Misplaced Pages, including talk and project space.". It's not done often because there aren't many reverts in AfD's, but the 3RR applies to AfD pages. Niteshift36 (talk) 06:48, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

As of May 23, we are at 7.66%, with 370 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the stub article subpage. Based on the members list, there are currently 244 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling. If you are actively editing and contributing to articles under the scope of WP:PW, it is suggested that you add your name to the list of active members. A recall is ongoing to see which active members of WP:PW still wish to receive the full newsletter fortnightly. Those that do should add their name to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Newsletter/Active before May 30.

For a list of reliable and unreliable wrestling-related sources see WP:PW/SG#Sources.
