Why did you revert the edit about the Bryan brothers having the most Grand Slam titles. It's listed on their pages that they currently have 12. If the Woods have 11, as was suggested, they no longer hold the record. Am I missing something here? It seems pretty straight forward. 98.198.217.237 ( talk) 08:42, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
I don't see the point of reverting back to an old version of document and after that making couple small additions to the document.

I noticed this distinction at ATP Record, but the ceasura of 1972 is inconsequential. Look at the whole statistics, for example all matches (and wins) of greatest player, like Connors or Borg, or other one. There are numbers which includes the matches before atp created. Look at the atpworldtour.com. All of statistics from this official website includes the matches and the victories since Open ERA started not since atp was founded. Why for example the fan of tennis finds different information about the tournament wins of Nastase on wikipedia's atp record and on atpworldtour.com
Can you explain entirely logically why we should take the year of 1972, independently only that then atp created, if everywhere on Earth, the fans of tennis distinguished two parts of modern history of tennis - Tennis before 1968 and after it. Look on the second side, if you or in particulary the statisticians of tennis want to gather full comparable data, then you should analise professional tennis from 1990. I think that point 1972 is incorrect. Perhaps you have better view. Then, please, explain me that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edamian ( talk • contribs) 20:49, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

You are correct about the incomplete data. We are in the process of trying to improve it for our historical players, in which a lot of the statistical information is hard to come by. But yes, removing the data in the meantime may be the way to go. Thanks for your comment.

Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give
Internazionali BNL d'Italia a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. You should open a WP:RM request to have the article moved rather than simply cut and pasting Tassedethe ( talk) 23:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi. Minor issue, but I thought I'd clear things up, with regards to this sentence...
"Agassi's father stepped in, told Brown that he could play his son and put up his house for the wager."
The simple use of "told" looks much too casual in print. It seems more like something that people would speak to each other in informal conversation.
Since we're writing formal prose here, I've replaced it with "and told Brown that. . ." One could also use ". . .stepped in, telling Brown that. . ." I'll stop before I start to sound like I'm conducting a lecture. Cheers. -- James26 ( talk) 05:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Concerning the winning streak of Borg (43, 1978) in the ATP world tour records, i disagree with your view that a winning streak with walkovers is the same as one without - most sport/newschannels don't consider his winning streak real either, anyway. so i still think it deserves a mention in a list like that, he's the only one in this list with walkovers. no need to be degrading about my description of walkovers to clarify. Kendu020 ( talk) 10:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Point was not to be "unfair" to the Aussie as a major - but rather to make sure that people understood that the dates at the top of the article are not indicative of when the 'chance' for a Golden Slam came into play. I suggest that adding the 1924 status of the US Open, rather than deleting the status of the Aussie, is the way to go here. The real point is that the tennis players of pre-1988 aren't a bunch of screw-ups for failing to win a Golden Slam, because the 4 "Majors" did not exist as Majors before 1924, then Olympic tennis did not exist until 1988.

Ah, I realize that my "I'll push just once more" comment and smilie might've come off as a sinister threat. But I honestly meant that I was reverting it that one last time, and then if anyone else agreed, they could speak up... and if no one else agreed, then maybe I'm wrong, right? Because I don't know, I don't know. Maybe part of me was just thinking you were biased against Huaiwei because, frankly, I'm not entirely sure whether my comment after that was soapboxing, you know? Arguing about the subject instead of talking about the article counts as soapboxing, but the very nature of article disagreements mean that people will argue about the subject for the purpose of trying to improve the article. So I don't know. You can take it out, but that makes my own comment seem to come out of left field. - BaronGrackle ( talk) 14:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I don't think that there are any articles in which the #1 players are listed for various countries on a year-by-year basis, ie, Budge 1939, Riggs 1940, Kramer 1946, etc. etc. I have a couple of *real* encyclopedias where I can get the yearly ratings for the American players (generally the top 10 for each year), and I recently found a nice Australian Website where they have a page with the top Aussies each year from 1930 through 1976. I could therefore compile my own lists from these. But no matter how much I Google I can't find similar pages for the British, French, and, oh, the Germans. Can you direct me to anything?

Hi,
I disagree with you - 'Quarter Finals' is by far the most commonly-used method. If you search on Google, practically every result is written this way. 'Quarterfinals' may be acceptable but it is not correct as is shown elsewhere on Wikipedia. Why do you feel the need to undo my edits? I am not being a vandal - I am merely correcting poor grammar.

Hi, I've reverted your old contribution to the List of Grand Slam men's singles champions, since it made certain confusion. Namely, you've said that the italics means that the tournament was open only to members of particular French tennis clubs. Yet, the first winners of Wimbledon and US Open are also in italics.

I see that you are still gaming the system by creating a redirect in a series of edits to block non-admins' page moves. This is the second time I'm notifying you that the community disapproves of this sort of behaviour. Next time I will raise this matter at AN/I. Prolog ( talk) 20:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
May I ask a question? What is the policy on Diacritics as redirects? I see a ton of Spanish and Portuguese footballers with diacritics in their name cross my path. I know when it comes to filling in the DEFAULTSORT value, do not use diacritics because the sort engine doesn't handle them. I know of some certain languages, such as Vietnamese. Vietnamese names of persons must not use diacritics as this is the policy of Wikipedia, Chicago MOS, British Library, and Library of Congress. But can you create a redirect with the diacritics? Bgwhite ( talk) 21:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Well anyways it is ambiguous at best. The first time this was eluded to by Prolog it was reasonable. I moved a page and then put in the category tag which made it immovable. Doing that right after a move, which would likely be controversial, was wrong. It was pointed out that it was likely gaming the system, I thought about it, agreed, and said it won't happen again. All the while the bots and editors keep adding a category to other redirects which make them immovable... all within wiki policy of course. This time I create a brand new page, create a redirect and then add a category in the same manner as any bot would and I get chastised. That I won't take. If it needs to go to AN/I then there's not a lot I can do except plead my case against a hypocritical situation. There are always disagreements between editors on wikipedia and I have learned when to ask for help from other administrators and not get nasty or thin skinned; to just keep following rules and project guidelines, not get in edit wars, etc...
But this was a warning from not just an editor...but an administrator, and I believe I'm being treated unfairly because we have a 100% different point of view. I do not trust his motives when it comes to diacritics. As was said above, since any move would be controversial an administrator would need to get involved anyway so there should be no harm done. I personally think both those categories are stupid and some long ago holdover, but they are part of wikipedia and are used extensively and I plan to continue doing so within the rules unless a cabal of unbiased mediators says I'm right or wrong. If it's such a big deal it seems like wikipedia could simply make it that adding categories would not hinder a page from being moved. How hard could it be to do?

Wow... lots of writing going on here and I guess some editors do things a little differently than I do. Unless it's a living person my first choice is to ask for citations instead removing entire paragraphs. Most of the stuff eliminated is fairly well known however it was not sourced properly here. Had a request for a citation been added I would have noticed it and done my best to find the proper source. I'm not talking about rewriting to sound more encyclopedic, I'm only talking about complete removal of sections. Roger Federer has separate articles on every year he plays, Serena has documentations about every blowup and cuss word she uses. Bill Tilden, The greatest tennis player in the first half of the 20th century by multiple news polls, has two articles here. Per tennis guidelines Tilden may eventually have one article for each and every year he won a Major title plus separate articles for after he turned pro. Using specifics, I agree that items like "He reportedly had no sexual relationships with women at all and apparently very few sexual encounters with members of his own sex...etc" should not be here unless sourced. Period. But removing things like his finger amputation, the tennis books he authored, his matches with Budge, the short stories he wrote, his davis cup records. Those things could have been rewritten, but complete removal was overly aggressive. I'll try to dig up some sources to add items back into the article. So copy editing yes... (flowery words needed to go too), but some of what was removed was a bit harsh. I've noted that many good editors at least try to add a source or two while helping to edit an article. Did you even try? I just added one that I found in 30 seconds. It may not be required but it is certainly good wiki-etiquite to do so. I've found sources on articles I know nothing about and added them to help out rather than eliminating things completely. Just my musings on this talk page topic. I do agree this should be on the Tilden talk page for all to see and comment. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 09:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

The dominance shown by these men, is rather quite remarkable to note on a separate page, which just take a look for a second. How many times has a slam been won by a player other than the trivalry, since Federer's first at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships? Take a guess? I will tell you, so you don't have to think about it, which here is the list as follows: 2003 US Open Champion; Andy Roddick, 2004 French Open Champion; Gaston Gaudio, 2005 Australian Open Champion; Marat Safin, and 2009 US Open Champion; Juan Martin del Potro.

Hi, thanks for your recent new page patrolling. I've removed the speedy deletion tags from the ITF sports articles because sporting events are not covered by the importance speedy deletion criteria. This criteria only applies to specific groups of articles: "real person, individual animal(s), organization (for example, a band, club, or company, not including educational institutions), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". Speedy deletion is about getting rid of articles quickly because they don't need any discussion as it can be safely assumed that deleted would be the outcome. I imagine that sporting tournaments aren't included because they could be considered to automatically claim importance and therefore A7 couldn't apply anyway. You should either propose these articles for deletion, or (preferably) take them to articles for deletion. -- Mrmatiko ( talk) 08:05, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Can you explain entirely logically why we should take the year of 1972, independently only that then atp created, if everywhere on Earth, the fans of tennis distinguished two parts of modern history of tennis - Tennis before 1968 and after it. Look on the second side, if you or in particulary the statisticians of tennis want to gather full comparable data, then you should analise professional tennis from 1990. I think that point 1972 is incorrect. Perhaps you have better view. Then, please, explain me that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edamian ( talk • contribs) 20:49, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

You are correct about the incomplete data. We are in the process of trying to improve it for our historical players, in which a lot of the statistical information is hard to come by. But yes, removing the data in the meantime may be the way to go. Thanks for your comment.

Hi, and thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give
Internazionali BNL d'Italia a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "
cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the
page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. You should open a WP:RM request to have the article moved rather than simply cut and pasting Tassedethe ( talk) 23:26, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi. Minor issue, but I thought I'd clear things up, with regards to this sentence...
"Agassi's father stepped in, told Brown that he could play his son and put up his house for the wager."
The simple use of "told" looks much too casual in print. It seems more like something that people would speak to each other in informal conversation.
Since we're writing formal prose here, I've replaced it with "and told Brown that. . ." One could also use ". . .stepped in, telling Brown that. . ." I'll stop before I start to sound like I'm conducting a lecture. Cheers. -- James26 ( talk) 05:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Concerning the winning streak of Borg (43, 1978) in the ATP world tour records, i disagree with your view that a winning streak with walkovers is the same as one without - most sport/newschannels don't consider his winning streak real either, anyway. so i still think it deserves a mention in a list like that, he's the only one in this list with walkovers. no need to be degrading about my description of walkovers to clarify. Kendu020 ( talk) 10:31, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
Point was not to be "unfair" to the Aussie as a major - but rather to make sure that people understood that the dates at the top of the article are not indicative of when the 'chance' for a Golden Slam came into play. I suggest that adding the 1924 status of the US Open, rather than deleting the status of the Aussie, is the way to go here. The real point is that the tennis players of pre-1988 aren't a bunch of screw-ups for failing to win a Golden Slam, because the 4 "Majors" did not exist as Majors before 1924, then Olympic tennis did not exist until 1988.

Ah, I realize that my "I'll push just once more" comment and smilie might've come off as a sinister threat. But I honestly meant that I was reverting it that one last time, and then if anyone else agreed, they could speak up... and if no one else agreed, then maybe I'm wrong, right? Because I don't know, I don't know. Maybe part of me was just thinking you were biased against Huaiwei because, frankly, I'm not entirely sure whether my comment after that was soapboxing, you know? Arguing about the subject instead of talking about the article counts as soapboxing, but the very nature of article disagreements mean that people will argue about the subject for the purpose of trying to improve the article. So I don't know. You can take it out, but that makes my own comment seem to come out of left field. - BaronGrackle ( talk) 14:52, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I don't think that there are any articles in which the #1 players are listed for various countries on a year-by-year basis, ie, Budge 1939, Riggs 1940, Kramer 1946, etc. etc. I have a couple of *real* encyclopedias where I can get the yearly ratings for the American players (generally the top 10 for each year), and I recently found a nice Australian Website where they have a page with the top Aussies each year from 1930 through 1976. I could therefore compile my own lists from these. But no matter how much I Google I can't find similar pages for the British, French, and, oh, the Germans. Can you direct me to anything?

Hi,
I disagree with you - 'Quarter Finals' is by far the most commonly-used method. If you search on Google, practically every result is written this way. 'Quarterfinals' may be acceptable but it is not correct as is shown elsewhere on Wikipedia. Why do you feel the need to undo my edits? I am not being a vandal - I am merely correcting poor grammar.

Hi, I've reverted your old contribution to the List of Grand Slam men's singles champions, since it made certain confusion.

I see that you are still gaming the system by creating a redirect in a series of edits to block non-admins' page moves. This is the second time I'm notifying you that the community disapproves of this sort of behaviour. Next time I will raise this matter at AN/I. Prolog ( talk) 20:26, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
May I ask a question? What is the policy on Diacritics as redirects? I see a ton of Spanish and Portuguese footballers with diacritics in their name cross my path. I know when it comes to filling in the DEFAULTSORT value, do not use diacritics because the sort engine doesn't handle them. I know of some certain languages, such as Vietnamese. Vietnamese names of persons must not use diacritics as this is the policy of Wikipedia, Chicago MOS, British Library, and Library of Congress. But can you create a redirect with the diacritics? Bgwhite ( talk) 21:27, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
Well anyways it is ambiguous at best. The first time this was eluded to by Prolog it was reasonable. I moved a page and then put in the category tag which made it immovable. Doing that right after a move, which would likely be controversial, was wrong. It was pointed out that it was likely gaming the system, I thought about it, agreed, and said it won't happen again. All the while the bots and editors keep adding a category to other redirects which make them immovable... all within wiki policy of course. This time I create a brand new page, create a redirect and then add a category in the same manner as any bot would and I get chastised. That I won't take. If it needs to go to AN/I then there's not a lot I can do except plead my case against a hypocritical situation. There are always disagreements between editors on wikipedia and I have learned when to ask for help from other administrators and not get nasty or thin skinned; to just keep following rules and project guidelines, not get in edit wars, etc...
But this was a warning from not just an editor...but an administrator, and I believe I'm being treated unfairly because we have a 100% different point of view. I do not trust his motives when it comes to diacritics. As was said above, since any move would be controversial an administrator would need to get involved anyway so there should be no harm done. I personally think both those categories are stupid and some long ago holdover, but they are part of wikipedia and are used extensively and I plan to continue doing so within the rules unless a cabal of unbiased mediators says I'm right or wrong. If it's such a big deal it seems like wikipedia could simply make it that adding categories would not hinder a page from being moved. How hard could it be to do?

Wow... lots of writing going on here and I guess some editors do things a little differently than I do. Unless it's a living person my first choice is to ask for citations instead removing entire paragraphs. Most of the stuff eliminated is fairly well known however it was not sourced properly here. Had a request for a citation been added I would have noticed it and done my best to find the proper source. I'm not talking about rewriting to sound more encyclopedic, I'm only talking about complete removal of sections. Roger Federer has separate articles on every year he plays, Serena has documentations about every blowup and cuss word she uses. Bill Tilden, The greatest tennis player in the first half of the 20th century by multiple news polls, has two articles here. Per tennis guidelines Tilden may eventually have one article for each and every year he won a Major title plus separate articles for after he turned pro. Using specifics, I agree that items like "He reportedly had no sexual relationships with women at all and apparently very few sexual encounters with members of his own sex...etc" should not be here unless sourced. Period. But removing things like his finger amputation, the tennis books he authored, his matches with Budge, the short stories he wrote, his davis cup records. Those things could have been rewritten, but complete removal was overly aggressive. I'll try to dig up some sources to add items back into the article. So copy editing yes... (flowery words needed to go too), but some of what was removed was a bit harsh. I've noted that many good editors at least try to add a source or two while helping to edit an article. Did you even try? I just added one that I found in 30 seconds. It may not be required but it is certainly good wiki-etiquite to do so. I've found sources on articles I know nothing about and added them to help out rather than eliminating things completely. Just my musings on this talk page topic. I do agree this should be on the Tilden talk page for all to see and comment. Fyunck(click) ( talk) 09:45, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

The dominance shown by these men, is rather quite remarkable to note on a separate page, which just take a look for a second. How many times has a slam been won by a player other than the trivalry, since Federer's first at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships? Take a guess? I will tell you, so you don't have to think about it, which here is the list as follows: 2003 US Open Champion; Andy Roddick, 2004 French Open Champion; Gaston Gaudio, 2005 Australian Open Champion; Marat Safin, and 2009 US Open Champion; Juan Martin del Potro.

Hi, thanks for your recent new page patrolling. I've removed the speedy deletion tags from the ITF sports articles because sporting events are not covered by the importance speedy deletion criteria. This criteria only applies to specific groups of articles: "real person, individual animal(s), organization (for example, a band, club, or company, not including educational institutions), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". Speedy deletion is about getting rid of articles quickly because they don't need any discussion as it can be safely assumed that deleted would be the outcome. I imagine that sporting tournaments aren't included because they could be considered to automatically claim importance and therefore A7 couldn't apply anyway. You should either propose these articles for deletion, or (preferably) take them to articles for deletion. -- Mrmatiko ( talk) 08:05, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
