[edit] Category linking

Hi Clausewitz01, saw your comment on Talk:Martial_arts. Just wanted to point out that you can link to a category by putting a ":" after the first bracket, like this: Category:Martial_arts_practitioners. Regards. Shawnc 15:21, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MMA

Hey Clausewitz01, I saw your comment on Talk:Mixed martial arts and responded there. Hope it helps. -SpuriousQ (talk) 03:20, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Cool, nice job and the book looks good. I made some small changes to your citation in this edit. Explanation: the "location" is the publishing location, "pages" is for citing a specific page (not total pages), and you only need one ISBN. Other than that, looks great. -SpuriousQ (talk) 22:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, it's appreciated :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 03:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rio (NX Files)

Hi, I just reverted this. Did you mean to make a redirect? – Qxz 02:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, never mind. Sorry about that – Qxz 02:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Battersea links

I left a reply on my talk page. Mindmatrix 15:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. First, I'd like to say that you don't have top satisfy me; just follow Wikipedia's policies, especially about external links (and also see What Wikipedia is not). I remove links from articles constantly, keeping in mind those policies.
I've just done so for Attractions in Toronto and Kingston, Ontario. I don't see the external links you mention in Manhattan, other than the citations used to support the claims made. Regarding Battersea, you're more than welcome to expand the article, attach images etc., so long as you consider the policies listed above when you make your additions. External links should be kept to a minimum, essentially only those that elaborate on the specific topic of the article (that is, not links to tangentially-related subjects), and additions should maintain an encyclopedic tone per Neutral point of view guidelines. You've essentially done that in the Battersea article, with the minor exception of the extra in-text links.
Please keep in mind that the purpose of these policies is to prevent Wikipedia being over-run with spam, or to transform it into a web or business directory. Mindmatrix 16:51, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I've read the relevant sections of the Wikipedia guide, the thing is, external links are necessary to show that the information is correct. I will make the parts I think are necessary into a more narrative form as you have suggested.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Thunder Bay Flag.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thunder Bay Flag.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] UFC 84

A discussion is happening right now on the fate of UFC 84. Because the outcome of this discussion could affect other MMA event pages and how/when they are created, your input would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is happening here. Thank you for your assistance! Gromlakh (talk) 17:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
