TheShadowCrow

Make sure you revert all of TheShadowCrow's vandalism. He knows absolutely nothing about boxing, and is attacking as many boxing pages as he can. He always makes a complete mess, particularly with the boxer's records.

The pages of Jones jr, Darchinyan, Donaire, Klitschko's, Lewis, Barrera, Morales Calzaghe, DM, and many others have all been messed up by TheShadowCrow, yet the admins just allow it.Mustaforgot (talk) 01:18, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

If you change your ways, apologise and stop insulting and cussing, you can do it yourself.--Jahalive (talk) 02:43, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

I see you guys are two different people. I apoligize for assuming you were someone who's been stalking my edits.--TheShadowCrow (talk) 01:37, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

No problem. I understand why you might have assumed I was that guy.--Jahalive (talk) 02:43, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Please stop discrimination against me

Please do not discriminate against users ever again here on Wikipedia! You have now proven to the world that you are biased and prejudiced. I am that prooof. Thank you. --BoxingGoMan (talk) 22:33, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

What have I done to make you think I am biased and prejudiced?--Jahalive (talk) 18:08, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

It has to do with you following me when I do my edits. Then the spam thing came along, so you placed that WikiProject's box on your user page which identifies those in the field of their repected WikiProjects. However, you never even joined it, so you're not a member of that WikiProject (according to that wikiproject's particpants list); and also immediately after you done that, the very first thing in editting you did was attack my very own edits, which you should be more concerned about spam that has nothing to do with boxing since you're not a member of the boxing wikiproject. Seek out spam where it's truly needed, and that's sure not here; after all, you show yourself as a member of the spam wikiproject - they probably could use your help, though! A continuous circle of events has placed the before-mentioned evidence in perspective. Let it be alone! --BoxingGoMan (talk) 21:18, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Sorry. I was too hasty. It's just that I noticed that you are adding references to the book Lineage Unbroken. I've never heard of it before. Do you know anything about the author?--Jahalive (talk) 21:52, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

That is not the reference being used, this is Lineage Unbroken. Also, the subject of the author doesn't matter. Please leave me alone now. Thank you. --BoxingGoMan (talk) 01:51, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--Hu12 (talk) 20:25, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Lennox Lewis

Excuse me have you even met Lennox Lewis?! I have and he confirmed that the nickname was true, he lived in Crayford for a time and that is where the nickname came from and that is why he recently lit the cauldron in the Olympic Relay in Danson Park. It is not well documented because it was literally just as he was starting out in boxing, but that does not matter, he was once known as "The Crayford Destroyer".

Sorry, maybe I'm wrong about vandalism. Wikipedia articles need to be based on reliable, published sources. The discussion forum you linked to is not a reliable, published source and Mr. Lewis confirming it to you isn't either so unless that nickname is used by reliable sources it can't be included. For more information on reliable sources please read WP:RELIABLESOURCES--Jahalive (talk) 17:28, 28 July 2012 (UTC)

Is there a way to use the information on his boxing record in a more appealing fashion, such as moving it to the "Notes" section? Having it in between the opponents fight results looks out of place and disrupts the look of it, plus this particular structure is only seen on Lewis's boxing record. Vember94 (talk) 19:54, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

How could we move that title stuff to the notes section? Those things happened in between the fights.--Jahalive (talk) 20:51, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Doesn't matter. Information that occurs after the fights is still noted in the notes section. Or it's placed somewhere else, like Boxing career. Either way, it doesn't ever get its own column between other fights on the boxing record. Vember94 (talk) 17:41, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Why not?--Jahalive (talk) 08:36, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Because its clunky, out of place and disrupts the look of the record. I wouldn't mind if it was a common feature across other boxing records, but it's not. Vember94 (talk) 17:39, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Maybe this format should be used in more boxing records, although there aren't many boxers who have had all the title machinations out of the ring that Lewis had. It's no more clunky than the rest of the boxing record.--Jahalive (talk) 18:45, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Flags

There's nothing to discuss. I don't care if you change the flags. Don't mess with the record dashes or the location links. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 21:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Disagreements are resolved through discussion at Wikipedia. I suggest you review WP:OWN. If you have concerns with the locations please explain them.--Jahalive (talk) 21:39, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

You stop undoing it. I don't mind if you change the flags, but you are changing others things because of bad reverting. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 22:24, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

If you don't mind the flag changes then please stop reverting my edit. If you have concerns with other changes please discuss them.--Jahalive (talk) 22:35, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I did. What's wrong with you? --TheShadowCrow (talk) 22:37, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

You did what? There are plenty of things wrong with me, but I won't bore you with the details.--Jahalive (talk) 22:41, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

You're just trolling and playing stupid now. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 22:43, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

We need to try and reach a consensus. Either discuss your concerns with the edit, try to edit the article in way that we might both find acceptable (not restoring the state flags) or begin dispute resolution, but stop reverting. The state flags are against policy.--Jahalive (talk) 22:50, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Just put up the flags without changing anything else. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 22:53, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

What don't you like about the other changes?--Jahalive (talk) 23:01, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I like the records the way they are. When I started editing, the longer dash was used for people with no draws and that's the way it should stay to keep records from looking different and confusing.

It's important the the location be word for word as the BoxRec source. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 23:43, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

We don't need to write things the way BoxRec does. We should follow Wikipedia naming.--Jahalive (talk) 04:29, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

I told you fools countless times about this absolute spastic called TheShadowCrow, yet you didn't listen. Suckers.~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.111.67.251 (talk) 02:07, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Tomasz Adamek

I accidentally clicked publish before I finished my edit summary. The rest of it was supposed to say "...see Klitschko's article for an example. We use the name of the country as it was when the subject was born there." – ².O.^Boxing 20:36, 29 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for stopping in to finish your explanation. The common name of the country when Adamek was born there is, and was, Poland, so that's what we should use. If you want to continue this discussion, it should happen on the article's talk page.--Jahalive (talk) 18:29, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

George Dixon

Hello, I found one of your boxing record edits on George Dixon, which simplified my wording of the official record. It has taken a couple of years and hundreds of edits to bring these newspaper decision issues to where they are today. I am constantly adding more complete records of historical fighters and champions weekly and as you can imagine, there are countless mistakes and inconsistencies. I appreciate your wording and I am going to start using going forward, but if it isn't too much to ask for, could you possibly join me in updating the records to how they look on Dixon's article now? I have a complete list of the fighters I have added full records for on my user page.CaPslOcksBroKEn (talk) 06:13, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

I appreciate the amount of work you've put into this and I'm glad you like the simplified wording. I made a couple of suggestions for the records in the section you started on the WikiProject's talk page. When we settle on a format I'll update some of those records.--Jahalive (talk) 21:04, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

Re: Kenshiro Teraji

Greetings. As I've said in the edit summary repeatedly to the IP who keeps changing it, the WBA lists him as Unified champion and not Super champion. There has never been conclusive discussion at the talk page to not use Unified over Super if the WBA lists them as such. If the IP has an issue with it, they're welcome at the talk page.

Clarification on Lineal Championship Article

I've noticed the ongoing dispute regarding edits on the Lineal Championship article. Your assertion that a break "does occur, no 'may'" prompted me to reconsider the wording for a more accurate representation.

The revised language now recognizes the inherent unpredictability and complexity of situations where a champion retires or changes weight class. The use of 'may' underscores the nuanced and evolving circumstances that can disrupt the uninterrupted lineage of a lineal championship. Additionally, I expanded the explanation to encompass other contributing factors, such as inactivity or legal issues, further complicating the scenario.

These changes aim to reflect the dynamic nature of lineal championships and the varied perspectives surrounding them. 2804:14C:A784:8499:CC0A:FC64:D484:7E9 (talk) 00:38, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
