[edit] Categories

Hi. I just noticed you added Ivan Calderón to the category Boxers. Since the Ivan Calderón article is already part of Category:Puerto Rican boxers adding Calderón to the Boxers category is unnecesary. For the complete guidelines on categories you may read this.

[edit] On vacant titles

In title succession boxes, you evidently prefer person-to-person succession listing, e.g.

Preceded by Floyd Mayweather Jr.	Lightweight boxing champion (WBC) 2004–2005	Succeeded by Diego Corrales

whereas I think that it's less confusing to put 'Vacant' if it was vacated, e.g.

Preceded by Vacant	Lightweight boxing champion (WBC) 2004–2005	Succeeded by Diego Corrales

How about we compromise and do something like this:

Preceded by Vacated by Floyd Mayweather Jr.	Lightweight boxing champion (WBC) 2004–2005	Succeeded by Diego Corrales

and

Preceded by Bernard Hopkins	Middleweight boxing champion (IBF) 2005	Succeeded by Vacant title won by Arthur Abraham

[edit] Vacated for

Miss Maya

"The IBF middleweight title was vacated for Arthur Abraham." Is this statement true? If so, it is ambiguously. He was indeed the ultimate beneficiary of the action. But the statement reads as if the title were vacated with the specific intent that Abraham would receive it (false). Additionally, I think that 'vacated for' may confuse the EAL people; e.g. in Spanish, por can mean both 'by' and 'for.'

Is the phrase 'vacant title won by' too long? (Probably.) Unfortunately, the dictionary doesn't list 'to unvacate' as a verb. What about 'claimed by' or 'vacancy filled by?' (I like 'claimed by.') ArcTheLad 19:24, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 5% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 1 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 02:30, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Calzaghe/Lacy

I've tuned up their boxes/links. (But the writing quality of those articles remains poor.) Generally when there's a flurry of edits I don't get involved until it subsides (because of the overwriting). ArcTheLad 21:35, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Hi, just to be sure, you want Image:5mayatrain.jpg to go away, right? Without any source/license info it will be deleted permanently about a week from now. Stan 12:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tolkien / Gogol

Hey Jewish-American nerd, I just stumbled across your user page and found Tolkien and Gogol mentioned side by side among your idols. Funny, because lately I'm reading a lot of Gogol (Dead Souls, the Nose, the Overcoat, Nevsky Prospect, Diary of a Madman, Mirgorod) and I somehow had the feeling that Gogol could have been one of the sources of inspiration of Tolkien. Do you know something about that? --Raban 20:06, 21 June 2006 (UTC) (p.s: Happy belated birthday!)

[edit] Page Blanking

On 08-July, you blanked Felix Sturm. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the redirect should be deleted, please follow the redirect portion of the deletion procedures. If you believe an article should be written instead of the redirect, please write a stub. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 13:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

FYI, I am going to de-list your Adnan Ćatić → Felix Sturm move request. The steps for requesting a page move were not followed so no one else had a chance to see or vote on the request. Those steps put the article in a category and make a convenient place to vote. Feel free to re-list the request. —Wknight94 (talk) 16:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Please Vote, as per wiktionary the correct spelling is Wiktionary:anti-Semitic NOT Antisemitic. 67.70.68.51 12:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boxing

Hi, I deleted this entry of yours (December 18 Manny Pacquiao wins by technical knockout in his third and rubber match against Erik Morales) as we can not look in the future and it's not yet December 18. Feel free to revert me if this happened on another date. SportsAddicted | discuss 04:04, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wilfredo Gómez

Hey, I have been working with this page lately in hopes of getting it to Good Article, but my editing time has been limited lately and the page is in need of cleanup, I have noticed that you are one of the active members of the boxing WikiProject and I was wondering if you could help me? thanks for your time. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:13, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! the problem has been my lack of editing time, I am familiar with the GA standards based on my past experience (see Miguel Cotto) but the lack of time combined with several GACs trapped in the backlog has been a killer for new GA efforts. - Caribbean~H.Q. 06:24, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
