Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:19, 3 August 2020

Rollback granted

Hi Squared.Circle.Boxing. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war.
• If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
• Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Misplaced Pages:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! creffett (talk) 13:03, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

Articles for Creation: List of reviewers by subject notice

Hi Squared.Circle.Boxing, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

Kickboxing related draft

Hi, Squared.Circle.Boxing as per information at WP:AFC/RBS, I would like to draw your attention to Draft:Wang Kehan and Draft:Mallaury Kalachnikoff which you might be interested to review. Thank you. ~ Amkgp ✉ 05:36, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

Holy cow

Check out the Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Bowtiebandit results... --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 01:57, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

What the actual deuce? Why? That’s incredibly weird lol such a pointless thing to do. – .O. 10:03, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Autopatrolled

Hi Squared.Circle.Boxing, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Misplaced Pages:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:48, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Response from Virgil Ortiz, Jr.

Apparently I made a mistake, sorry.--アントリュース (talk) 11:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

ANI

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. 3nk1namshub (talk) 03:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

• Squared.Circle.Boxing, I am going to suggest you redact this: . Punching down when an editor identifies as autistic is really not a good look. Guy (help!) 11:57, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Firstly, I didn’t know that person is autistic, I’ve seen nothing that states such a thing and quite frankly it has fuck all to do with my comment. Secondly, my point is valid and contains no personal attack. So in response to your suggestion...thanks, but no thanks. If that person does not like my comment then that person can remove it from their talk page. – .O. 12:30, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Squared.Circle.Boxing, the correct answer was "oh, I didn't know, I'll go and remove it". You score nul points. Guy (help!) 13:04, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

" wonderfully balanced"? I thought we were talking about Misplaced Pages. 😋 --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:25, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

JzG the correct answer was given, I’m not looking for points, smiley face stickers or a pat on the head, thanks. Deepfriedokra, maybe I haven’t been on Misplaced Pages long enough to see the imbalance lol – .O. 13:37, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Warning

Squared.Circle.Boxing, don't gravedance on that user's talk page, or you will be blocked yourself. El_C 12:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

I didn’t vandalise the talk page, issue a personal attack or go there and make a random taunting comment. A user gave their opinion on why they believed the length of block should be shortened, I gave my opinion why the current block is no loss to Misplaced Pages as the user has made more problems than encyclopaedic contributions. Not sure how that is doing a jig on ones grave, but sure, ok boss person. – .O. 13:34, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Well that was gravedancing, which reflects poorly on you, I challenge. Please don't do that again. El_C 14:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Still not sure how, but duly noted all the same. – .O. 14:53, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Squared.Circle.Boxing, you could have commented at the admin boards, but you went to a blocked user's talk page to exclaim their lack of usefulness to the project in sharp terms. El_C 14:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

I hadn’t seen the noticeboard discussion when leaving the comment and I also thought, from seeing experienced editors voicing similar opinions on other talk pages in similar circumstances, it was the norm. Evidently not. Again, duly noted. – .O. 15:03, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Okay, Squared.Circle.Boxing. Maybe I came a bit strong, also. I accept your explanation and wish you the best. El_C 15:04, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

No worries. I learned a lesson, all is good. – .O. 15:09, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Katie Taylor - Delfine Persoon rematch

Hey, The Belgian media is full with articles about the rematch happening on the 22the of August... So I guess it is happening. I was however not really able to find other (in English) press releases so far (the news is really "hot"). Perhaps you can follow this up and add some English references in due time.Garnhami (talk) 16:23, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Garnhami I read an article on BoxingScene confirming it. It’s probably worth digging up some sources regarding the multiple postponed Taylor vs. Serrano fights and adding info on that too, seeing as the Persoon fight only came about due to the aforementioned fight being called off. If it hasn’t already been done then I’ll see what I can do later when I have a bit more free time. As a side note, I assume you’re aware as you added Belgian sources but just in case you’re not, English sources aren’t actually required. If the Belgian sources are reliable and verifiable then they’re just fine. As I said, I assume you already know but thought I’d mention it just in case. – .O. 18:04, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Garnhami I’ve replaced the Belgian references with one from the BBC, moved the content to the bottom of the section to maintain chronological order and also added brief details about the failed negotiations with Serrano, but only on Taylor's article. Feel free to make any additions or changes. – .O. 20:07, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Boxing Union of Ireland

If you are going to go to the trouble and delete them from from the current champions list then at least have a bit of class and add the to the former champions list below is, or are you just trying to get a bit of clout and be annoying? --HuntGroup (talk) 21:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

@HuntGroup: Not updating the succession list is not a reason to revert a sourced edit. Do it yourself if you're so bothered, and stop edit warring to include unsourced and incorrect information. – .O. 21:08, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

You are disrespectful and do not edit in a collaborative manner, hence the reason I have no respect for the way you go about editing. Actually the edits are sourced via BoxRec. If you took the boxers from the current holders list but added them to the former holders then I can respect that. But at the moment it just looks like you are trying to flex and correct other peoples edits rather than add inform and expand the encyclopedia.--HuntGroup (talk) 21:41, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

@HuntGroup: You claim BUI doesn't update their lists, yet mention BoxRec? I already told you that a quick google search shows that Paddy McDonagh has been stripped of his title (IN 2018), yet BoxRec lists him as the current champion. So which one does not update their lists? Regardless, BoxRec is not a more reliable source for the current Boxing Union of Ireland champions than THE OFFICIAL BOXING UNION OF IRELAND WEBSITE...lol. Now take your borderline WP:PA away somewhere and do not post on my talk page again. K, thanks, you're not welcome, bye. – .O. 22:19, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
