Line 150: | Line 150: | ||
I have a suggestion for a new template, which I entitled boxing fights template. It is to show the fighters records at the time of the fight, which belt(s) are on the line and to hopefully clear which fighter is champion or the challenger, or incase of a unification fight which fighter has what belt. I am open to any suggestions, additions, or comments about it. I put an example on the side and already put it on the [[The War (boxing)|Hagler/Hearns]] page. Note: this may be used for [[Mixed Martial Arts|MMA]] fights as well. <font face="zapfino" size="1.5">[[User:Maya Levy|Maya Levy]]</font> <small>[[User talk:Maya Levy|talk]]</small> 05:44, 17 October 2007 (UTC) |

:I like it... but if you're going to adapt it for MMA, what will go in the name area (MMA fights usually aren't titled). Also, I have an existing records template that can be used for boxers right out of the box, {{tl|MMArecordbox}}. <small style="border:#090 1px solid;padding:0px 3px 1px 4px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User:east718|<font color="#000">east</font>]]<big style="color:#090">.</big>[[User talk:east718|<font color="gray">718</font>]]''' ''at 08:40, 10/17/2007''</small> 08:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC) |

Just letting everyone know that there's a new template attempting to unify a lot of the martial arts templates, and {{tl|Infobox Boxer}} is one of them. Please leave comments at {{tl|Infobox Martial artist}}. Thanks! <small style="border:#090 1px solid;padding:0px 3px 1px 4px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User:east718|<font color="#000">east</font>]]<big style="color:#090">.</big>[[User talk:east718|<font color="gray">718</font>]]''' ''at 13:12, 10/24/2007''</small>. |

Articles for the Wikipedia 1.0 project
Hi, I'm a member of the Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing using these criteria, and we are looking for A-class, B-class, and Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Can you recommend any suitable articles? Please post your suggestions here. Thanks a lot! Gflores Talk 17:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

- is a biography of a boxer will do? if so, i'm suggesting the article Manny Pacquiao thanks and more power.RebSkii 19:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
new category: Category:Deaths due to injuries sustained in boxing
Following yesterday's death of Kevin Payne, a welterweight professional boxer who died from injuries sustained in a boxing bout, I wrote the bio article (a stub) about him and created a new category, since there wasn't one dealing with boxing deaths. -- Mareklug talk 22:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
For anyone who is interested in extending this category, the boxrec excyclopedia probably has the most extensive list of boxers who have died of injury from boxing. [1]
Participation
I didn't realize I was already participating. I accept even though it was after the fact. Maya Levy 07:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
New Record table
New record table template was made.
- example:Muhammad Ali's record is shown as
Number | Date | Result | Round | Method | Opponent | Nationality | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
47 | October 30, 1974 | Win | 8R 2:58 | KO | George Foreman | USA | WBA & WBC World Heavyweight titlematch |
--Yappakoredesho 22:50, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Personally I think a list of a fighters whole record is a little spacey and can be fixed by putting a Boxrec external link. Maya Levy 12:49, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
I totally agree. The listing out of the records is entirely unnecessary and amounts to a really sloppy looking article. For example, look at Oscar De La Hoya. The article is probably 3x longer than it needs to be, since one can just click the link to boxrec. And the work to maintain these records is unsustainable. Jackboogie 12:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
new category: category:Southpaw boxers
Seemed like a good idea. Pascal.Tesson 05:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Suggestion for new category: category:National Golden Gloves Winners
I was thinking of creating a Golden Gloves category, but I'm not sure if people would get it confused w/the Gold Gloves in baseball or the New York tournament. Maya Levy 08:39, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
As you've pointed out in the category name, I think that the national golden gloves would stand out for boxing. This would distinguish it from any state level golden gloves tournaments or a golden glove in baseball.
WBA Disambiguation
I am not a member of the boxing project, but when I have some spare time I have a go at removing disambiguous links to WBA and many of them are for World Boxing Association, particularly within the Template:Championshiptitle. An example is Reggie Johnson.
Is there anything that can be done to cut down on the WBA disambiguous links in the future from this template? Pixie2000 20:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
National Titles
I was just editing some articles relating to boxers who hold or are going to challenge for the british heavyweight title. I was surprised to find that there isn't an article about this historic title already? Or perhaps there is but under a name that I couldn't think of. Initially I linked to British Heavyweight Championship but obviously this article isn't the one I was thinking of. British Heavyweight Title is not any better either. Anyone got any ideas?--Wikipediatastic 16:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Permission to be part of this project
i'm asking permission to enter this article Boxing at the 2006 Asian Games to be part of this project. thanks alot and more power.RebSkii 19:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Pictures and the Copyright confusion
I guess I'm going to fill my winter boredom by going through and putting the infobox's up and tagging upcoming fights for random boxer articles, but the one thing I still need help with is pictures to fill the boxes. I've only gotten one picture up before I stopped bothering, which was itself deleted before I managed to drag an Australian Admin to help sort it out. I still have no clue as to getting any pictures,promotional or otherwise, for boxers past the copyright freaks that roam wikipedia. Any help with that, maybe a simplified walk-through by someone more knowledgeable, would be greatly appreciated. Btl 06:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
infobox template
Thoughts on changing this to better represent boxing standards as is the case at BoxRec. Take a look at Template_talk:Infobox_Boxer and comment please. I don't want to start putting up the information only to have to change it later, and Weight, Style and the lack of Hometown really need to be rectified before any large strides can be made to upgrading the content on individual boxer's pages. Btl 07:31, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I previously put a hometown listing on the template only to have it erased by someone else, later. The problem was that all of the existing fighters that had the infobox in it were left with a {{{hometown}}} mark making many looking empty . Maybe phasing it in as optional first should do the trick. Maya Levy 05:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
If any of you have came across this article, you'll know what a mess it is. I'd be grateful if anyone with an interest could take a look at the new heading I've added on the talk page today. Stu ’Bout ye! 09:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia Day Awards
Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention. Badbilltucker 19:01, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
Muhammad Ali nominated for U.S. Collaboration of the Week
Please vote for Muhammad Ali at Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTW. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 16:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
The Superfight
In 'The DVD' section it mentions that the only television appearance for this film was on ABC. I seem to recall seeing it on the CBS Late Late Movie (or similar name) around 1973. Anyone else?
Female boxers
I know female boxing is not very popular, but I was pretty disappointed to see the lack of female boxers in Wikipedia. Its an issue that needs some contributing Maya Levy 20:04, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I strongly recommed this project to give your notabilty guidelines for a new notabilty proposal that I'm creating on my userpage, once it is completed, I will move to wikipedia namespace for the community to decide. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 23:02, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Nigel Benn v Chris Eubank
I'm new to the project, I've just written this page could it please be included in any list of fights or boxing rivalries please, thanks. 1fletch 14:06, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Its a pretty good page, I really like the addition of the infobox on the side, I redirected it to Nigel Benn versus Chris Eubank to make it convienant for people searching for it. Maya Levy talk 17:29, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Hometown listing on Template:Infobox_Boxer
I wanted to revisit the subject as seen on its talk page. Please revisit: Template talk:Infobox Boxer Maya Levy talk 02:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Years in boxing
One of my big goals is to get boxing by years using both professional and amateur results/upcoming tournaments by year, similar to 2007 in basketball, and possibly using it as a guide. I also think accompanying a frozen version the list of current world boxing champions by the end of the year. It may need a big collaboration, although time is not on my side lately.

New template suggestion- Boxing fights template
Records before April 15, 1985 The War | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I have a suggestion for a new template, which I entitled boxing fights template. It is to show the fighters records at the time of the fight, which belt(s) are on the line and to hopefully clear which fighter is champion or the challenger, or incase of a unification fight which fighter has what belt. I am open to any suggestions, additions, or comments about it. I put an example on the side and already put it on the Hagler/Hearns page. Note: this may be used for MMA fights as well.
