Hey there. The source for Jack vacating apparently came from a press release put out by Don King in promotion of an upcoming fight between Makabu and Noel Gevor, where it was said it would be for the WBC Cruiser belt since Jack had Vacated to pursue a fight with Rozanski.

Here's the tweet I saw about the announcement, from Michael Benson: https://twitter.com/MichaelBensonn/status/1702852466050740417

Why are you changing Kenshiro Teraji to Unified champion in the WBA column on the List of current world boxing champions?-- Jahalive (talk) 19:41, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:55, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, I thought they didn't do that anymore. They called it super here and BoxRec calls it super. It's impossible to predict what the hell they'll do.--Jahalive (talk) 20:06, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Guess they do still, unfortunately. Even on their site they've been consistently.. inconsistent about it, for years. In the past I've seen them label someone as Super champion on this section, yet on the rankings PDF they'll use Unified or Undisputed; or vice versa. Until they definitively stop using Unified on all their material, we can only go by it. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:12, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mac. There's recent discussion for track listing template. If you have time, your comments are always appreciated. Regards. 2001:D08:2933:D216:17AD:2929:6BF4:D7D3 (talk) 03:09, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What do you make of the half dozen fresh accounts that have all piled in to the Beterbiev talk page to push the same idea ("heres an article that says hes Chechen"). All the same person trying to overwhelm a concensus? And is it worth tagging them as SPAs? Nswix (talk) 17:16, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you chance davis from 2 divison champion to 3. When he only held wba(super) and ibf at super featherwight. Then in November 2023 he was elevated from wba(regular) lightweight champion to primary champion. The rest of titles he won were wba (regular) belts. So then isn't tank just a 2 divison champion. It would be great if you could explain it to me, why you changed tank to 3 divison champion and removed his wba (regular) titles wins. Ronten5 (talk) 02:17, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Carl forch himself said he won the WBA (regular) title. And he won it against Kessler who was the WBA (reguler) title holder. While the primary champion was WBA (super) champion Andre Ward. And it doesn't matter what WBA says because all they do is scam. Ronten5 (talk) 14:18, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Floyd vs Judah IBF title was vacate in reality as Carlos Baldomir beat Judah and took his title. But IBF didn't let Baldomir take the IBF title for not paying sanctioning fees. So in reality Floyd's fight against Judah was for IBF vacate title. And isn't that what Wikipedia is about, telling the truth everyone knows Judah is not the champ.

No need to go to WikiProject Albums about the title of track 8. I don't doubt you. Johnny Spasm (talk) 18:01, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, not about track 8. It was just the column that I feel like needed more opinions. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:22, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK. If you feel that needs more opinions, go for it. I've not seen another live album on Wikipedia do that.Johnny Spasm (talk) 19:34, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, in the Plot section of Pinocchio (1940), the correct phrase is "in search FOR Pinocchio", not "of Pinocchio", talking about Geppetto who left home to look for Pinocchio. Could you correct it, please? 151.34.126.160 (talk) 17:20, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Like what is the pointbof Removing inoue's p4p abd divisional rankings from his page. When he is currently p4p ranked 2nd and 1st ranked super bantam. The last user removed it because he said it was outdated. So I updated it to August. Ronten5 (talk) 17:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. My IP adress changed, so I'm responding to the comment you made to mine here. Check many song articles and you'll see "the" is barely to never used in the lead when describing the owner/singer of the song. I will not pose examples here as there can be infinite, but make the research yourself and you'll see what I said applies. 62.74.24.133 (talk) 23:14, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand what is your problem. WBA's own website list Gilberto Ramírez as world champion and not as super champion. You can go and look it up yourself. Here's the link: https://www.wbaboxing.com/wba-champions Ronten5 (talk) 21:15, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well then you could have just said that, no need to go berserk. The only reason I changed Gilberto from Super to world was cause of WBA's current list of champions has him as world champion, While guys like Usyk, Inoue and Beterbiev are clearly listed as Super champion. Ronten5 (talk) 21:25, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mac,

You had asked in an ANEW report a while back about some essay or policy I could point you to regarding the editor who regarded long-established wording as protected from change.

I just found it ... didn't know it was there. Daniel Case (talk) 16:31, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for your correction about Jeff Scott Soto's last Yngwie album. I'm going to revise it to say something like "This was Soto's last album with Yngwie until 'Inspiration' in 1996", which I've seen done in similar situations. Cheers, Chillowack (talk) 09:37, 25 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the recent edit you made removing duplicate heading, I only added the super middleweight back in, because after Groves, it was no longer the WBSS tournament. Without the heading, it might make it feel as is the WBSS continued until he went to light heavyweight. The only way around it, I think might be to put WBSS as a sub-heading 2 instead of sub-heading 1. What you think? This way it falls under super middleweight. Mahussain06 (talk) 08:14, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for touching up my revisions, still new to this and learning, but really appreciate it. Plan to add more to his personal life later when I have time, hopefully I don’t make as many mistakes this time around😂 GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 22:39, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for reverting an unconstructive edit on Little Red-Haired Girl by User:Annabanana1719, but you forgot to warn the user on his/her user talk page. It's up to you if you want to warn the user or not. NicePrettyFlower (talk) 03:41, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 18:52, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mac Dreamstate. I confirm that I am not the same user who edited the article you speak of. I took over the edit for its content based on the boxer's weight categories. I see that the two of you were engaged in a heavy edit war from the history (so I'm not sure why one one account was blocked and the other not even sanctioned), but to clarify, I am in agreement with the addition of the extra weight categories. Thx. --Dennis Definition (talk) 20:56, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Course you are. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 21:15, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added the album Alien Love Secrets to Steve Vai's discography (as IP 190.246.99.92), but you removed it saying that it is not a studio album. Could you back up your action with a reliable source, please? The album is an EP, but a studio album none the less. It's even listed as "Studio Album" in the table at the bottom of Vai's Wiki and Alien Love Secrets Wiki

Sebastiandavid (talk) 05:23, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No reliable sources needed in this case. An EP is not a full-length studio album, so it doesn't go in that section on Vai's article. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:58, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Mac, was wondering if there was any specific criteria needed by a boxer to add this tab to their article. Is there a specific amount of divisions they’ve had to be a champion in? A certain amount of titles needed to attain before warranting this section on their page? Just curious as I plan on adding this to more boxers' pages. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 22:17, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Follow up question, sorry. Regarding WBA (Undisputed) and (Unified) titles, are they considered major world titles or minor world titles? GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 23:28, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Very good questions, Bones. I'll get back to you in a few days, as I'm busy most of the week. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:55, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just getting a chance to answer these now. Any of the WBA's primary or secondary world titles—Super, Regular, Unified, Undisputed—should be considered major world titles; Ring magazine too. IBO and any other such alphabet soup is minor.

As for Titles in boxing, I've never been keen on them because I deem the succession box to handle that information better, and in more detail, but I also appreciate the merit of displaying a boxer's championships and awards in a simple list for those looking for less 'hardcore' information. I don't think there needs to be an arbitrary amount of titles won/divisions to warrant the section. Even if they've won just one world title, might as well go ahead and include the section for completeness. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 15:33, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Noted and thanks for getting back to me. I kind of agree that it might be a little repetitive, but it’s interesting to see the minor, regional/international, interim, and honorary titles that these boxers have won too which isn’t shown in the succession box. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 16:20, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bombard you even more, but I’m going through Canelo Alvarez right now and I’m having a hard time considering his WBA (Unified) light middleweight (as Floyd Mayweather Jr held the primary) and his WBA (Regular) super middleweight titles (as Callum Smith held the primary) as "Major titles". GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 16:36, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Possible solution: "Secondary major titles" GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 16:51, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For the sake of simplicity, and for casual readers, I see no reason why they can't all be lumped together as "major titles" in that section. It doesn't need to be the place for the WBA's split-title shenanigans to be explained. Also, most mainstream media outlets make no distinction between them. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 16:56, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So the problem with that, and a good example is Roy Jones Jr, is that he held the WBA (Unified) and the WBA (Super) light heavyweight titles. If I lumped them together it might get a little more confusing. What I’ve done is added a note where needed mentioning that "The secondary champion lineage lists the Regular or Unified champions while the primary champion is occupied." under "Secondary major world titles" GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 18:14, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I know you’re probably busy, but wanted to bring to your attention the date with which we’ve decided to recognize the WBO belt as a major world title. As you can see I’ve started a discussion here at List of undisputed world boxing champions. Curious to know your thoughts as nowadays everyone considers Jermain Taylor a four-belt undisputed champion. GOAT Bones231012 (talk) 23:00, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely an interesting talking point, especially in this era of undisputeds starting with Crawford in 2017. I'll try and come up with some input on the weekend. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:41, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
