Hi, pls note that your edit has been removed. Pls do not add IMBD on the external links. For MMA fighters, we add Sherdog link and the promotion the fighter is fighting under (UFC/Invicta/Bellator etc.). Pls note we would pls one or two external (min external links) - see WP:ELMIN. Pls stop adding such link again. Cassiopeia talk 00:27, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

@Cassiopeia: I see, so you're trying to minimize the external links?

Good day. First of all you need to ping the editor who you send the message to so they would receive a notification. I have add the ping on your message to me (see in source editing mode). The Wikipedia guideline is to minimize the external links for Wikipedia is not a social/official/media sites to promote the subject but an online encyclopedia where the articles are merely to record the information of the subject. I have sent a welcome page to you and pls read the links provided to familiar yourself with some of the basic guidelines. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 00:38, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

Hello, again, pls stop adding topology in Rockhold page. This is getting disruptive and consider this is a warning. pls read my initial message again. Cassiopeia talk 00:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)

I'm seriously confused. Your "initial message" was to complain about adding IMDB links. What's wrong with the tapology links? They are fighter-specific and often contain information missing in Sherdog profiles. Can you be a bit more salient in your complaints?

Hi Demosthenes, If you read my initial message, I stated (1) min ex link (keep to 2) and (2) for mma fighters use (i) promotion they are currently fighting under & (ii) Sherdog for Sherdog is the database info we use in Wikipedia for their fight record. In the infobox of every mma fighter, there is a Sherdog parameter, and if the external link missing the sherdog info, it is easy to find it in the infobox section or get it from Sherdog website. Example - for Petr Yan - see here - the last 5 number "186873" is the sherdog number. If you are interested in editing mma page, pls observe the event and fighter pages for sometimes to familiar with how they are edited. I can send you a list of info and guidelines if you want so you may familiar with them and no receiving future complaints or discussion or warnings. Let me know. Stay safe and best.
