Any reason why this page is at "Tony Wilding" and not at "Anthony Wilding", which is the name by which he is far more well-known (certainly here in New Zealand)? I know there's a redirect at that name, but I think it would make more sense to reverse the redirect and have the article at Anthony Wilding... Grutness... wha? 10:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
I suggest we use shortened footnotes for this article, given that some books are cited several times with different pages. And given that there are so many references, it makes sense to differentiate the different references types. I'd structure this as per the referencing on the Joseph Brittan article. Any objections?

@ Wolbo: The article is in pretty good shape. Is your intention to nominate it for GA review sometime soon? Schwede 66 02:48, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Britty192 ( talk) 09:56, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
Tony Wilding →
Anthony Wilding – Reliable sources for both spelling versions are available but in my view both the number (quantity) and weight (quality) of the sources indicate a clear preference for the spelling as 'Anthony Wilding'. A plain google search on "player name" or "player name" + tennis results in approximately twice as many hits for Anthony Wilding.

Overall this is well written and comprehensive. The issues I brought up were very minor, so I'll pass this now as it meets the criteria.

Hi would it be possible to add some his notable rivalries namely, against Josiah Ritchie 34 meetings between them Wilding leading 28-6, Max Decugis 17 meetings, Wilding leading 14-3, Arthur Gore 14 meetings, Gore leads 9-5 includes 4 Wimbledon meets 2 of which were in the Challenge round and Gordon Lowe, 13 meets, Wilding lead 13-0, Otto Froitzheim, 14 meets Wilding lead 11-3, these were his only rivalries that got into double figures if no one objects will briefly add with a source thanks.-- Navops47 ( talk) 04:00, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
As the section above states, and the article name suggests, this person was 'Anthony' The fact that 'Tony' is a diminuation of that, and was occasionally used for this person, does not matter - WP:MOSNICKNAME is clear. Hence why we do not have articles which start "Abraham 'Abe' Lincoln" etc. Giant Snowman 19:21, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
I have raised this in other sites, he was occasionally known as Tony but using this has led to confusion even in one article in Wikipedia using both versions, so it has become confusing at times. A search on NZ Papers Past shows unique records for "Anthony Wilding" at 4,972 and "Tony Wilding" at 125. I have amended what was stated as "often known as Tony Wilding" to read "also known as Tony Wilding". Antipodenz ( talk) 05:50, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
I'm not sure why the info on his engagement to to Maxine Elliot keeps getting removed by a brand new user. It's sourced multiple times, including newspapers and books. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 19:22, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
