Children with at least four women

edit

There are mentions of children with at least four women noted in the personal life section, not three. 2603:7080:1AF0:8040:7887:DA3:C8F7:C8B8 (talk) 09:45, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

@2603:7080:1AF0:8040:7887:DA3:C8F7:C8B8 By my count, here's a summary of the children he had with different women:
  • Robin Givens (1st wife) – no children
  • Monica Turner (2nd wife) – two children; son Amir and Ramsey
  • Sol Xochitl (not his wife) – four-year-old daughter Exodus, deceased
  • Lakiha "Kiki" Spicer (3rd wife) – two children; daughter Milan and son Morocco
It also states that "in addition to his biological children, Tyson includes his second wife's oldest daughter as one of his own." I don't know if she's included in the total of seven children mentioned, but one or two are not listed. Anyways, while four women are mentioned, he only had children with three of them.

Assadzadeh, there is no good reason to include the names of people's children in an article unless those children are notable one way or another. Drmies (talk) 22:59, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Drmies OK, but it still doesn't resolve the discrepancy brought up. Assadzadeh (talk) 23:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
I thought I'd drop this here since you made that edit, and I made another. I can't help with the discrepancy--I have a hard enough time keeping up with my own children. Drmies (talk) 00:54, 17 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Add key to boxing record sections

edit

Under the "Type" column are several acronyms. I know what KO, TKO, SD, UD, and DQ mean, but not familiar with RTD. Would someone please add a key to this table explaining all these acronyms, or point me to one, and I'll add it myself? 2600:100F:B1B8:4B4B:7DEE:CF66:7ECB:2BE (talk) 18:01, 16 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

There should be a tooltip if you hover over the abbreviations on their first instance, starting from the bottom of the table. "RTD" stands for corner retirement. But you're right, a key would be very helpful to readers unfamiliar with boxing, and has been mooted a few times in the past. I'll put in a fresh mention at WikiProject Boxing.
