User talk:Cassiopeia

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following: Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page. Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end. Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed. Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply. ⇒ Start a new Talk topic.

hi, thank you for your willingness to help me create a new Wikipedia page for Alan Watt, a New World, order, researcher, author, and INTERNET radio commentator Who died in 2021. his website is cutting throughthematrix.com there he makes available a massive number of radio interviews. He has participated in as a guest, plus transcripts of just about everyone of those interviews, as well as CDs and other media, including videos of his extremely helpful talks that help people understand how (according to the extensive research he has conducted for decades) society really works. --Writing is easy (talk) 00:18, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Cassiopeia, thank you for being my mentor. I have a question; I would like to add an article which already has footnotes. Do I need to re-enter the footnotes with the Wiki-footnote tool? Thanks, Bela Hamilton. --Bela Hamilton (talk) 19:55, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bela Hamilton Good day. You can add citation for the content of the article and footnote generally is to add additional explanation of the content. See Help:Footnotes on how to add footnotes. Since you are new to Wikipedia, I strongly suggest you to take WP:TWA program so you would familiar with some of the fundamental Wikipedia guidelines which will help you on editing Wikipedia pages.

This is First Round Management's official Instagram and it's verified. It reports a new fight. In your opinion, it's not good because it's social media. But it's from the official agency's page.

Usually, an mma website just puts a link to the Instagram post and "reports" it. And that's okay? They are reporting the same source.

Same with Marcel Dorff. He is a reputable journalist and his reports on social media have never been wrong. Why do you consider it not reliable when all mma websites do is use his tweets as the source.

Finally, for UFC fight cards, they use the official UFC events page to update the pages. Why is this allowed.

Why is the same not allowed for the ESPN MMA page. They are the official source of the bouts. They are not reporting other information but the name of the fighters on the bouts.

You have replied to my posts but they are hard to understand because English is not your first language.

I know a third party source is more reliable but if the journalist themselves is reliable and are often used for mma pages, why is it not acceptable.

That Chinese website has been reporting mma for over a decade. Why do you get the final say on why that's reliable or not. FYI another editor put the link on the page. Not me. I just added it to list of current fighters.

Please double check your reply to me (maybe use Chat GPT) so that it makes sense because your replies are difficult to understand. Thank you Marty2Hotty (talk) 05:00, 21 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Marty2Hotty Good day. I have explained to you MANY times and also sent you the guidelines links for MORE than a year but I dont think you read them as you continue to edit the way you have been using not reliable source. English is not my mother tongue and having Irlen syndrome doesnt help. I know 4 languages and 4 dialects but master of none. I said many times to you that social media sites are considered not reliable and/or independent sources. If you dont understand what I say due to my command of English, you can always come ask me to explain which you hardy have done so.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and shouldn't act as a platform for breaking news unless there are independent, trustworthy sources to back the information. Sources should be evaluated based on the site’s reputation for fact-checking, not just the journalist writing the article. "Beware of sources that sound reliable but do not have the reputation for fact-checking and accuracy that this guideline requires. The Journal of 100% Reliable Factual Information might have a reputation for "predatory" behavior, which includes questionable business practices and/or peer-review processes that raise concerns about the reliability of their journal articles"

Chinese MMA-related sites: If they openly state that their mission is to "promote" fighters or the sport, then they fall under promotional content and aren't considered true journalism for such the source is not reliable.

ESPN: Though reliable, ESPN's close contractual relationship with UFC makes it a non-independent source for UFC-related content during their active contract period. After the contract expires, ESPN may become more independent.

Marcel's is often right but not always as some of his reports is derived from other fighter management companies and not media sites.

Primary source can be used sparing if the info is directly indicate the subject but it can not be used as the contribution to the GNG guidelines when creating a page. That is the reason why certain "extremely small amount of info" is derived from the primary source for the subject. If you want to change the fight card source from UFC to Sherdog (since we use Sherdog as the source for fight methods), then pls go to MMA project page and raise the vote/request.

I understand you might not agree with the the Wikipedia guidelines but as Wikipedia editors, we adhere to the guidelines. If not why are we here for? We can always create our own blog or webpage to write what we want as how we see fit. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk
