I heard a story today about someone posting in the 'also known as chimbledon' line as a joke, please can someone verify this? I notice there is no reference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SebSpratt ( talk • contribs) 12:37, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
How on earth does the Mixed draw work? 48 isn't a power of 2: so when you've had 4 rounds, you've got 3 teams left… Paul Magnussen ( talk) 21:22, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Roger federer has won 6 wimbledon titles not 5 as detailed in the article. Perhaps someone could ammend it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.132.51.122 ( talk) 06:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
The logo in the infobox should be updated, as a new logo has come out for the Championships. The font is different. Check the official webpage, look at the top left corner's logo. -- Dajes13 ( talk) 15:24, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
Should this be moved just to "Wimbledon" instead. The city Wimbledon has "Wimbledon, city name" so "Wimbledon" doesn't have an article. That is the most common name. "The Championships, Wimbledon" seems little trying and trying to look too professional, rigid and archaic. Simple Wimbledon will catch people's eyes and make it popular and simple. 24.9.97.169 ( talk) 20:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
Is its official name "The All England Lawn Tennis Championship(s)" (is this on the trophies?) and, if so, should this be mentioned in the article? NB I'm certainly not proposing to make this the article title, but just think it should be mentioned if it is indeed the official name. On the Wimbledon website it says "The All England Lawn Tennis Club, which hosts The Championships" but on their scores/results pages, the BBC refers to it variously as "The All England Lawn Tennis Championships" or also the "All England Championships" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rja211077 ( talk • contribs) 11:45, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
The prize money section seems completely off. Even the provided source shows very different numbers. The curent wiki stipulates that as of 2011 both singles women and men's champion earn an impossible 6 million pounds each! The source page, as well as other sources I've just read, show that players only receive about 1.1 million pounds each. I believe the rest of the information is also wrong, including the total prize money which is closer to 14 million pounds than 24. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.252.73.130 ( talk)
This article reads like an advertisement:
"Wimbledon is widely considered the world's premier tennis tournament"
The above is just one of several "grand-standing" statements in this article...pardon the pun! 96.25.189.9 ( talk) 04:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
There is no mention of the old Ladies plate - the consolation tournament for first and second round losers. I was trying to find out when this ended. - A goggle search found a reference to the 1983 edition. Arachrah ( talk) 15:53, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
This article should be about the history of the tournament - references to Croque and indeed to the position of centre court belong in that article. Arachrah ( talk) 15:56, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
We have beginnings and 21st Century - which seems to start in 1993 - and nothing in between.
When did each tournament begin - what was the draw size and when did it increase. I think the ladies' plate ended when the ladies increased to a full 128 draw but I am not sure.
Is there really a disabled Junior doubles - I cannot find any other reference to this.

Why is this player listed as American in this article? Surely she is French? -- Ef80 ( talk) 18:05, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
There is quite a lot of information in the public domain on the history of anti-semitism and tennis. Can someone include a well researched section into the Wimbledon entry. It needs to be in to reflect a true history of the Wimbledon championships. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.142.142 ( talk) 11:43, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
So I have two questions.
First, the article currently contains no mention at all of the name "The All England Lawn Tennis Championships". This name is attested by multiple reliable sources, including the BBC, ESPN, and Sky Sports. Is this an archaic name that these sources continue to use, or is it the proper full name which is simply shortened in almost all uses by the organizers, as the by far most common name (simply "Wimbledon") is just the name of the location, so isn't descriptive enough for their uses? Either way, shouldn't it be mentioned in the article?
Which brings me to my next question. Looking through the history, it seems that there's been some changes to the article title over the years, with the current title and "Wimbledon Chamionships" having both been used. But considering the overwhelming use worldwide of "Wimbledon" as the name of the tournament, is the tournament not the primary topic for the name "Wimbledon"? The does seem to be the organizers are the only group to consistently use the current title, making me really question whether the current title is common enough to fit our policies. I'm beginning to think that this article should get the undisambiguated name, while the disambiguation page currently at the title gets the "(disambiguation)" addition. Any thoughts? oknazevad ( talk) 03:20, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

I see that the article has several references such as "culminating with the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Singles Final, scheduled for the second Saturday and Sunday of July respectively" which don't match up with the 2017 dates of Monday 3 July – Sunday 16 July when the finals will be on the third Sat and Sun. I'm no Wimbledon expert so don't know when the change was made and what needs to be said - I made a couple of changes to the "Schedule" section when I found the 2017 date, but there seem to be more changes needed. Over to you experts. Pam D 22:16, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

The article says, "Wimbledon is scheduled for 14 days, beginning on a Monday and ending on a Sunday." Has that always been the case? A quick check indicates the Men's final (5 July 1975) was a Saturday in 1975, 1980, 1981; but Sunday on 1982 and 1983. Did the days change in 1982? It'd be good to have something about when and why playing days changed. Adpete ( talk) 10:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

OK there is the Roland Garros in Paris and Flushing Meadows (earlier Forrest Hills) in New York. But I would say Wimbledon is the most prestigious by more than "many". "By all" or "by most" at least. Tennis on grass is usually more entertaining when compared to both the slower clay and faster hard courts. And then there is the longest tradition too. The Australian Grand Slam tournament kind of passed away during the 1970's - and is today played on a hard court. Flushing Meadows is not the same as Forest Hills. It's a newer invention, from the 1980's or late 1970's. Have we had any discussion on this subject before ? Boeing720 ( talk) 19:13, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Wimbledon, London which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 19:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
The discussion on Talk:Wimbledon, London from January 2021 (mentioned above) seems to have quite some support for moving this article to Wimbledon. The current disambiguation page then would have to move to Wimbledon (disambiguation). I think this moves makes sense per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:COMMONNAME. Alternatively, Wimbledon Championships could be considered but I'd prefer that one as a redirect as it is now. The current name is not commonly used. In the archives are old discussions about this from 2011 and 2015, and I don't see convincing arguments there against a move that would override WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:COMMONNAME.

The prize money for qualifiers is provided in the table but not the points they accrue. Antipodenz ( talk) 04:50, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
There is a dissapointing lack of information about the actual events at Wimbeldon, which is made all the more difficult to fathom when reading about sponsors, ball boys/girls and extensions down to the number of extra seats. There is no information about the championship winners of the junior and invitational events nor their history (e.g. year first introduced to the Championship, past champions). This information should be recorded in the relevant sections including in the lists of champions in the table on the right. I recommend visiting the official US Open website to see the respectful manner in which they wrapped up the 2021 events with an equal approach to recording the respective champions.

Wimbledon has always been quite specific. It is always Men's Singles and Ladies' Singles. They do not use Women's Singles. Shouldn't our draws and articles reflect that usage? Fyunck(click) ( talk) 22:55, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Not sure what the correct term is for the female players.
This also affects the Australian Open (male Shingo Kunieda 9), (female Esther Vergeer 9), French Open (male Shingo Kunieda 7), (female Esther Vergeer 6) & US Open (male Shingo Kunieda 6), (female Esther Vergeer 6). ( 78.17.89.207 ( talk) 20:58, 16 July 2019 (UTC))
OK there is the Roland Garros in Paris and Flushing Meadows (earlier Forrest Hills) in New York. But I would say Wimbledon is the most prestigious by more than "many". "By all" or "by most" at least. Tennis on grass is usually more entertaining when compared to both the slower clay and faster hard courts. And then there is the longest tradition too. The Australian Grand Slam tournament kind of passed away during the 1970's - and is today played on a hard court. Flushing Meadows is not the same as Forest Hills. It's a newer invention, from the 1980's or late 1970's. Have we had any discussion on this subject before ? Boeing720 ( talk) 19:13, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Wimbledon, London which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 19:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
The discussion on Talk:Wimbledon, London from January 2021 (mentioned above) seems to have quite some support for moving this article to Wimbledon. The current disambiguation page then would have to move to Wimbledon (disambiguation). I think this moves makes sense per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:COMMONNAME. Alternatively, Wimbledon Championships could be considered but I'd prefer that one as a redirect as it is now. The current name is not commonly used. In the archives are old discussions about this from 2011 and 2015, and I don't see convincing arguments there against a move that would override WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:COMMONNAME.

The prize money for qualifiers is provided in the table but not the points they accrue. Antipodenz ( talk) 04:50, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
There is a dissapointing lack of information about the actual events at Wimbeldon, which is made all the more difficult to fathom when reading about sponsors, ball boys/girls and extensions down to the number of extra seats. There is no information about the championship winners of the junior and invitational events nor their history (e.g. year first introduced to the Championship, past champions). This information should be recorded in the relevant sections including in the lists of champions in the table on the right. I recommend visiting the official US Open website to see the respectful manner in which they wrapped up the 2021 events with an equal approach to recording the respective champions.
