[edit] About me

I'm 26 years old and live in Beckenham, a suburb of London. I am pretty faddy and thus will be active here in fits and spurts. Currently, I am trying to contribute to mixed martial arts pages and am a contributor to Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts. My first contribution was to create a page for Chico Rooks, currently California's oldest professional football club. While initially I didn't care for standards and was just interested in creating stubs, my aim is to take at least one article to Good or Featured standard.

When not battling injury, I am active in shinsei jutsu, a complete hybrid fighting system created by a friend of mine, in which I am known for my good submission abilities but awful standup fighting.

[edit] Wikiprojects

[edit] Non-project/pre-project work

• Started Herb Dean article — 01:05, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
• Small general amendments to UFC 61 and UFC Fight Night 6.
• Creation of the Chico Rooks stub.
• Expansion of the Sporting Bengal article.

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts

• Ongoing or completed
• Promotions

• Ongoing expansion of the Cage Rage stub to get it to B-class level. (Before expansion)

• List of Cage Rage champions

• Fighters

• Marcus Davis - has been rated Start-class on the quality scale, which is not bad considering it's a few hours work and I inherited two lines.
• Ian Freeman - unassessed
• Travis Fulton - unassessed
• James Thompson (fighter) - Too notable a fighter to have that bad an article. This article is going to be my best work to date.

• Other articles

• Mixed martial arts weight classes - reformatted article and added information.
• Template:Combinedfightingrecord - a single stats box for fighters with MMA and boxing records.

• Planned

• K-1 HERO'S - HERO'S needs some sort of article, probably separate from K-1.
• Creating some stubs for fighters and expanding others that aren't even as good as the quickbio template. So far I am looking at:

• New stubs

• Mark "the Beast" Epstein - I have some decent information, certainly enough to put together a quickbio.
• Melvin Manhoef - I'm really struggling for this one as the majority of useful information is in Dutch and requires translation.

• Expansion of current stubs

• Brad Pickett - I also want a picture of his flying footstomp from Cage Rage 13 for the Cage Rage article.

• Cancelled

• MMA officials - This was a mini-project I was going to undertake, creating stubs for current and former MMA officials that do not currently have one, such as Mario Yamasaki, Steve Mazzagatti and Larry Landless. Another user created a Mazzagatti stub, which did not meet notability standards unfortunately. As a result, the project will probably have to be shelved as if Mazzagatti doesn't meet the standard, nobody will.
• Battlecade Extreme Fighting - An early vale tudo competitor to UFC, who once saw all their fighters arrested for breaking Canadian prizefighting laws. It will fail WP:NOT and there's so little info that it's going to be impossible to come up with an article.
