Robin Gibb

In your latest edits to the Robin Gibb wiki you seem to indicate that "Lonely Days" was a US #1 hit and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" was their 2nd US #1 hit which is factually incorrect. "Lonely Days" only reached #3 in US and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" was in fact Bee Gees very first US #1 hit. Ferdinandhudson (talk) 22:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Cashbox really don't hold very much weight, the Bee Gees themselves refer to "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" as their first #1 in the US. Ferdinandhudson (talk) 00:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Evander Holyfield

Hi. I was just wondering why you removed the info about Dwight Muhammad Qawi being known as Dwight Braxton at the time of his first fight with Holyfield. If you check Holyfield's record, you'll see that the first fight is listed vs. Dwight Braxton (later known as Dwight Muhammad Qawi), whilst the second fight is vs. Dwight Muhammad Qawi (nee Dwight Braxton). Braxton converted to Islam, and changed his name during the time span between the two fights. I have fixed it. Please do not change it back. All the best-Mk5384 (talk) 17:06, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

I stand corrected, and I apologise unreservedly. I have changed the Holyfield article to include the correct information that you have clarified.Mk5384 (talk) 19:46, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Igor Vysotsky

The article Igor Vysotsky has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. RadioFan (talk) 15:36, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Liston/Ali fights

All entries on the Liston/Ali fight have been reverted. The Sonny Liston autobiography by Paul Gallender is a self published book and not a reliable source. 98.209.42.117 (talk) 22:33, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Stitchclay.jpg

The file File:Stitchclay.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:02, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
