message: UFC was reporting his record as something like 16-3. Why are they reporting something so drastically different than what's listed on the page?75.45.225.124 04:54, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Record

message: I have moved this article from David "Tank" Abbott to David Abbott (Mixed martial artist) before because "Tank" was his nickname so that I thought it should not be contained in the name of the title. I have a question.Do you think it is suitable that the title can contain middle name of people like David "L" Abbott.
In my oppinion, I suggest to move this article again from David L. Abbott to David Abbott (mixed martial artist) because that edition looks more natural. Yappakoredesho 21:04, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Someone needs to provide a link for the official announcement of this fight because other than the promoters saying "yeah this fight needs to happen" there's really no evidence. Especially since whoever added that part in made it sound so matter of fact. - Billy Button

message: The press was NOT improperly done.  It was not done in a sanctioned powerlifting competition, it was done in the gym.  If you have ever seen powerlifters work out, they often "bounce" when benching.  Try it if you think it's much easier.  The point is that they're working explosiveness. DB Dec 2, 2005

message: Pitfighting is NOT a fighting style. Its a another term to described MMA aka Vale Tudo aka Freestyle fighting which is a SPORT which contains a variety of FIGHTING STYLES.
His style could accurately be described as 'Brawling' since he generally expresses no characteristics of the 'traditional' martial arts when fighting.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.30.29.141 (talk • contribs) 
:Abbott can call his style anything he wants to, there is no authority that judges what constitutes a valid style in or out of martial arts. Using another term would tread too close to original research unless we find someone else's expert opinion on the subject. hateless 02:40, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  Actually the wikipedia page on Abbot is wrong on this point but for another reason. Tank Abbot himself, said in UFC 11, and I quote from the DVD at 06:05 during an interview with Don Wison Don: "You're billing yourself as the street fighter" Tank replies "It's more aptly put that I'm a street fighter, not some made up name like 'pit fighting' that some other people came up with'. So that's that. Tank Abott never said he was a pitfighter, he said he was a street fighter.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.204.39 (talk) 20:30, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: For the reason just mentioned - and I can confirm that the quote of Tank is accurate -  I have changed the description of Tank's style.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Greg hill (talk • contribs) 23:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Fighting Style

message: The claims made about Abbotts wrestling and boxing credentials are unsourced and, I think, dubious.  I would prefer that information to be properly referenced to some credible source rather than just stated.  It appears like the author got it from somewhere, so I'd just like to see it.68.13.114.165 (talk) 22:47, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Tank Abbott's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
