Hello!

Please add new comments in new sections. I will respond to messages here unless you ask otherwise. Or, if you're notifying me of a problem, I'll probably just fix it and leave it at that. I can also be contacted by email.

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Lifebaka! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you. If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only. If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it. Please click HERE to take part. Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

Archiving at RFPP

Hello Lifebaka. I happened to see your comment about reordering your sentences to make archiving happen. From a perusal of User:Rami R/rfppClerk.js I think it is sufficient that a request contain the string {{rfpp| anywhere in the text. So the script would do the right thing even if you didn't reorder the closing statements. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 05:15, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah. I guess I'll not worry about it, then. Thanks for the heads up. lifebaka++ 05:17, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Paul Jenkins (fighter)

Hello, we haven't talked or interacted on the same pages before, however, there is a page you voted for deletion a few years back, and I believe that it was a mistake to delete it. I saw the reason you deleted him, however, I must disagree with you. By looking at the criteria at the fighters section of WP:MMANOT, he clearly meets the criteria to keep him, which is -

• Subject of multiple independent articles/documentaries--articles should be from national or international media, not just local coverage or press releases from organizations

• Fought for the highest title of a top tier MMA organization

• Fought at least three (3) fights for top tier MMA organizations

Paul Jenkins has fought for four notable organisations, which are Cage Rage, Cage Warriors, Shooto and World Extreme Cagefighting. Here is the criteria these organisations meet through MMANOT -

• Subject of multiple independent articles/documentaries--articles should be from national or international media, not just local coverage.

• Promotes a large number of events annually--the more fights it has sanctioned, the more notable.

• Has actively been in business for several years - the longer the organization has been around, the more notable.

• Large number of well-known and highly ranked fighters.

He has also fought many, many notable fighters within his 95 MMA fights, and there are many articles that talks about him and his fights, which covers WP:GNG. He has also won the Cage Rage World Middleweight Championship and the Cage Rage World Welterweight Championship. It is because of all this that I ask of you to please reinstall the page that already existed before it was deleted. I would of created a whole new page for him, though it would take ages to do and at least with the fight record, it would be easier to just have the old page back, and just update that. Please take all this into consideration before reply, and I hope we can agree that the page can be reinstated soon. BigzMMA (talk) 18:02, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

The page was deleted through the proposed deletion process, so all you have to do is request that it be restored. I'm going to assume that you're doing that here, and will be restoring it momentarily. You'll have to excuse me for not responding to the rest of your comment, as I am not terribly knowledgeable or interested in MMA myself and am not qualified to make such judgments; I was merely acting in my capacity as an admin to perform a requested action. Since the page has been deleted for several years, it will need some work after restoration, even if only to bring it in line with current template usage and the like. Cheers. lifebaka++ 19:17, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

• Thank you very much, I can see why you requested it deletion from the way it is displayed, but I will update it so it matches all other MMA fighter's Wiki pages, thus making it tidier, and add in the links to back it up in any future deletion proposals. That is fine, I understand where you come from, and not to worry, I will get on with it right away. BigzMMA (talk) 20:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Undelete request

Hi, Lifebaks! I would like to restore my previously deleted userpage, User:SteveStrummer/Sandbox4 The page was stamped as: 20:27, 6 March 2011 Lifebaka (talk | contribs) deleted "User:SteveStrummer/Sandbox4" ‎ (U1: User request to delete page in own userspace). If it's possible, and at your own convenience, would you undelete it for me please? SteveStrummer (talk) 05:57, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Done. Cheers. lifebaka++ 06:16, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

TYVM! SteveStrummer (talk) 06:30, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Ultimate Challenge MMA

Hello again, I have come to ask if you could undelete UCMMA. It is a notable organisation, there are many articles on them, they have a TV deal with Sky Sports, which is the biggest sporting channel in the UK, and they have very notable fighters compete for them. Even the page was a bit of a mess before it was deleted, I took the liberty of putting it in my sandbox, and have edited and updated it since. Here is the link for you here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:BigzMMA/sandbox if you feel that it is still missing some things please let me know what it is and I can verify and add that to it. Again I hope we can come to the agreement that the page can be returned on Wikipedia, just like how we agreed to get Paul Jenkins (fighter) back on here, where I was able to update the page and it now looks a lot better and it has more references to prove what he has done. Thank You. BigzMMA (talk) 17:29, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

I've given your sandbox a quick glance, and I don't see that much has changed since the AfD. I assume I'm missing something, so could you break it down for me?

This case isn't like the one with Jenkins, above, because of the processes involved. The proposed deletion process assumes that all deletions made through it are non-controversial; that is, that no one objects. So, if someone objects to a proposed deletion after-the-fact, this means that the deletion was not actually non-controversial, and we therefore restore. Deletion discussions, like articles for deletion, don't work this way. They are a section of the community getting together to decide the fate of an article, rather than just one nominator and one admin. It is not in my power, as a single user, to overturn what the community has decided unless it's pretty obvious that the community's reasoning no longer applies, and a brief glance seems to indicate it does, which is why I could use an explicit rundown of what's changed.

I also notice that the content between the old, deleted article and your new draft is very similar. Did you copy and paste the article before it was deleted? If so, I'll need to do a little bit of admin-y magic to stick the old history underneath your draft, to avoid copyright concerns. But don't worry, I don't plan on deleting your sandbox.
