[edit] stefan leko

hello! just being curious about Stefan Leko's birth date. you wrote it's June 23, 1974, however, i have also seen that some sites indicate June 6, 1974 as his DOB. (here) could you check your source once more and reply with findings, please? cheers! West Brom 4ever 23:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kraus Image

Hey, i uploaded a picture of Kraus for his article. I hope it is ok. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Umi1903 (talk • contribs) 01:20, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I actually am not very cultured about Wikipedia's copyright content. What should i do to ensure them that the pics were taken by me ? I checked your "Mo" image which is really cool. I think i might have mistakes with "summary" sections and so on...

[edit] Martial arts template

I removed the arts you added to the MA template as all the articles are stubs, (i.e very short) teh box is getting quite large so we are trying to restrict it by article quality, (start and above) if you can improve the articles in question it would be great to add them in. --Nate1481( t/c) 11:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Need some help

WP:AIV is much, much faster in handling stuff like this - and it looks like they've stopped anyway. east.718 at 01:52, January 27, 2008

[edit] Vitinho

Hi, you are perfectly fast as usual! Thanks for creating his profile. All i need is to upload his picture which i taken in last november !!

Actually, i have a question for you. How can you manage to create the entire fight records of the fighters? Do you have an especial source for it or just capitalize on their official web sites something?

Thank you very much for your help and please take care!

Cheers!

O'rite! Anyway, i would love to be taught by you. I am not very capable at all about techincal details of Wikipedia and you are a decent expert!
And yes, it seems that there will be held once again, but it's more likely to digest an other international tournament earlier this season, or a "Thailand vs Turkey" in Bangkok maybe!
I will inform you in any case, keep in touch and have a brilliant day mate! --Umi1903 (talk) 22:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I think this time he knows that he needs to stand more serious in spite of to bo some posh hehe! You must know him, he is a real good boy, he is young and i am sure that he is gonna be much better but his biggest lack in Turkey is to have no proper "spare-mate". So he needs to go to the Netherlands, where André Manaart takes care of him.
You know what, i had seen André making sparring with his boys and trust me mate, he is the #1 reason for Souwer to truimph! He is really cool as well, typical Dutch, always funny!
For K-1 Turkey, you might come here to follow it, it's worth to see!--Umi1903 (talk) 22:56, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture of remy Bonjasky

Thank you very much

[edit] Ginty Vrede picture

Thanks for adding the picture, it definitely adds to the article, congrats. AmandaT/C 11:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, well I never knew him in person or something like that, but I know what you're saying. It's actually still very weird as he was medically tested in detail while he was in the US before his fight and they did find nothing. AmandaT/C 11:52, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
BTW where did you find his fight rec? AmandaT/C 15:46, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Cool is there any way I can get access to this archive? AmandaT/C 23:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Sophisticated vandal

Hey, Marty. I'll take a look at this tomorrow morning - if those sources are real, they'll be trivial for me to find. I do agree that it looks really fishy at first glance though. Sorry I haven't found time to work on the unified infobox, I've been pretty inactive for the past six weeks or so. Take care! east.718 at 09:20, March 7, 2008

I spot-checked a bunch of the sources; none exist. I'm going to do a little more digging, then delete all the articles and post on the administrators' noticeboard as to what to do with the accounts. Great job on finding this and blowing it open! east.718 at 18:51, March 7, 2008
Hey, Marty. I took one last look at this, and it turns out that a few of those sources (such as the Miami Herald ones) do exist - but some of the others still don't. Go to newslibrary.com and search for "sherman bergman", and you'll get results which match the titles in the article. The only three where the blurb mentions him are the "Neighbors MB" article from September 29, 1988, which reads as follows...

Sherman Bergman Sherman Bergman is on the comeback trail. Bergman, an adult education teacher at Fisher-Fienberg Elementary, has returned to the sport of kick boxing after a five-year layoff and improved his record to 14-1 with 14 knockouts.Since his comeback Sept. 15, he has had four matches.Bergman, 30, retired from the sport to focus on teaching. He returned for a much different reason."Sherman came back only to show that through hard work and strong motivation...

...the "Teacher Gets His Kicks in Classroom and Ring" article from September 22, 1991...:

Sherman Bergman uses kick-boxing in the classroom. No, he doesn't jump around the class, but he shows students that his devotion to the sport can be applied to them.Bergman, 33, teaches English as a second language at Fienberg-Fisher Adult Education Center.He retired from the sport in 1981 to teach full time. But in 1988 he resumed kick-boxing, in part, to inspire his students."I try to show them that if you practice and dedicate yourself, you can do...

...and the "Kickboxer Inspires Students" article from July 12, 1990:

Sherman Bergman, who teaches English as a second language at Fienberg-Fisher Adult Education Center, tells students they can succeed at anything through hard work and motivation. Bergman, 32, uses kick-boxing an example.He retired from the sport in 1981 to take up teaching full time at the Miami Beach school. But in 1988, he resumed kick- boxing to show students that his devotion could lead to success the same way they could succeed in school with motivation .As he made his comeback,...

Additionally, I found an IMDB profile written by somebody without any other authorships on that site, for what it's worth. I'm starting to think that we're not dealing with hoaxes here, but rather a walled garden of non-notable people that's being promoted by a fan club or somesuch. east.718 at 00:11, March 8, 2008

I'll think about sending a couple to AFD after doing a bit more research. Frank(Happening)MaHarris has already been prodded and will disappear in a couple days. east.718 at 09:20, March 8, 2008

I know of Susumu's gallery... but it's not CC-licensed. :-( [1] says that the images are free to use but under non-derivative and noncommercial clauses, neither of which will work here. Did you see a Creative Commons logo or dedication somewhere else on the site? east.718 at 10:27, March 12, 2008

[edit] Gago

Hey Marty,

Hope you do fine mate. You are unstoppable as usual! I just wanted to inform you that the bout which was held on 15th march 08 of Gago Drago, was a part of It's showtime tropy as a super fight of 5 rounds. When I was updating it, saw that you typed there "Balans" already. I didnt like to change it till asking to you. May be this is an alternative name of the event; however, Eurosport broadcasted it intactly live and it was declared and relished as showtime trophy. Could you check this detail, please?

Wish you a brilliant day man ! --Umi1903 (talk) 01:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Zeyada is Egyptian. He participated It's Shotime Reality contest as well. I have his profile card and can create his page asap, no worries. Btw, yes Gago's opponent was Chaid Oulad El Hadj (or Alhaj.. actually the best way-out is to see his passport name lol). And i watch entire event on tv. I should say they didnt judge fair for Jiri Zak and Sahin Yakut. Audience was not very happy at all and booed the judges. For Chaid, he was great! He didnt intimidate agains Gago. And Gago has a big weak point that he overloads his ambition! Chaid has good boxing skills and have an never-ending stamina! So the decision was a draw but for my money. 19 y.o. lad has done enough! Chaid was good..--Umi1903 (talk) 09:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD of Hank Bergman

Hello. Please provide context for your recent AfD nomination of Hank Bergman. Please see Wikipedia:Guide to deletion in the future prior to nominating. I closed all of your previous submissions and reoganized them into the proper format. I've also asked you some questions that I'd like addressed, if you have a minute. Right now, I am leaning towards keep. Thanks! MrPrada (talk) 07:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DREAM

Hi! Why do you think DREAM belong under the K-1-events-template? Maybe DREAM having its own template is unnecessary (I just assumed it should), but even so I don't think it should be listed with K-1's kickboxing-events. It's not a K-1 event even though it's promoted by the same owners. Aktsu (talk) 05:54, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I was wondering why HERO's was missing but I guess the 2008 template is from after it was discontinued. I guess it definetly should be mentioned under K-1 if it's on their official site, but do you think I should delete the DREAM-events-template (it's on the DREAM-pages now) and replace it with the K-1 one? Thanks for clearing it up for me btw :) Aktsu (talk) 08:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
