Could someone develop a suggested article structure guide for a Golf Course? Wikiproject Rivers has a very nice Guide how to develop and expand a river article. Something like this would be very useful to me. Gamweb ( talk) 14:27, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
Hello there, the above article, which falls under the auspices of this Wikiproject, has come under review as part of GA Sweeps and a number of problems have been identified and listed on the talk page. If these problems have not begun to be addressed by seven days from this notice, the article will be delisted from GA and will have to go through the WP:GAN process all over again to regain its status once improvements have been made. If you have any questions, please drop me a line.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 00:28, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
The new golfer template for the infoboxes are not in line with wikipedia articles of other individuals and personality and should be reverted back to the old ones and be in line with other wikipedia articles or else it is violating the consistency standards with concern to other articles such as tennis players and even other golfers. You would not create a tennis player box for a tennis player so this needs to be rectified immediately by a vote of all members of the wikipedia community and the founders of this site. People should know by looking at the article not the infobox whether the person is a golfer or tennis player of basketball player this violates the consistency standards that wikipedia is built upon. Bluedogtn ( talk) 03:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Look at this page for a more objective template: Template:Infobox Golfer Alternate
I created a new article for Katherine Hull today using the infobox format found on the articles for, for example, Phil Mickelson and Annika Sörenstam. Shortley thereafter, User_talk:Wjemather came along and changed the infobo format. The same format appears to be used in Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and perhaps others. I like the new template so I left a note on Wjemather's talk page thanking him for the work. Low and behold, it appears there is some dspute about the new template. See User_talk:Wjemather#Golfer_Infoboxes and User talk:Bluedogtn. Can someone tell me what the preferred infobox of Project Golf is before I waste my time with extraneous editing and thanking of editors who are acting in opposition to accepted policy? thanks very much. -- Crunch ( talk) 02:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
The only reason that there are new infoboxes is that the old ones aren't templates, which they should be. If you would like to make the old one into a template, feel free to. I agree that the old ones are good, but the new ones have the same information pretty much, are easier to implement, and require less code on each page. Grover mj 03:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

This one (3rd) is my example of a better one that will match wikipedia's consistency standards b/c the golfer image needs to be taken off and the top made all white with bold black letters for the name and gray for the subheaddings so it is not construde as a masters champion for all golfers and is objective to all majors being gray instead of green!

I've updated {{ infobox Golfer}} to use the {{ infobox}} base class - this makes it much easier to maintain in the long run, especially as the colour of the headers can be altered by the addition of a single attribute - we can easily set different colours for Masters players, for instance. If there are any questions please let me know. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 16:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Now we have a standardised infobox for biographies, can we also do the same for our other infoboxes? I have created a sandbox and testcases for each of the following, to show the results.

Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.
All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. — Delievered by §hepBot ( Disable) on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 05:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at
Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

I know a bit about golf, and as a bot owner I'd like to help in the creation of stub biographies for professional (i.e. notable) golfers. I have chosen for my first targets every golfer playing on the 2009 European Tour, and I've drawn up a list of those concerned here. If I've already added "(golfer)" it means the main page with that name is not about a golfer. This is where I need your expertise:
Hopefully, we could end up with a thousand more golfers (143 from the European Tour at the very least) deservedly represented on Wikipedia.

Take a look at this photo stream from Flickr. There are almost 7,00 photos, all taken by a professional sports photographer (all of them his), and they're all licensed as CC-BY-SA. So if you have any need of a good golf picture, I would advise you look through this treasure trove of images. Also, if you could add any newly uploaded photos on the Commons to Category:LPGA photos taken by Keith Allison or Category:PGA photos taken by Keith Allison, that would be great.

Tiger Woods has been nominated for a good article reassessment. Articles are typically reviewed for one week. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to good article quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article.

This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Is John Panton on the to-do list for new articles?

As you may know, we currently have 400 good article nominations, with a large number of them being in the sports and recreation section. As such, the waiting time for this is especially long, much longer than it should be. As a result of this, I am asking each sports-related WikiProject to review two or three of these nominations. If this is abided by, then the backlog should be cleared quite quickly. Some projects nominate a lot but don't review, or vice-versa, and following this should help to provide a balance and make the waiting time much smaller so that our articles can actually get reviewed!

Hi. The Wikimedia Foundation received an e-mail complaining about inaccuracies in the above article. I have examined the article and addressed most of the issues raised by the correspondent, who is affiliated with the tournament. However, one assertion remains in the article (now tagged dubious), as I have no idea whether the article's authors or our correspondent is correct. I don't believe you need a specific knowledge of this tournament to help out. If you're at all familiar with or interested in international golf tournaments, please take a look at Talk:The Royal Trophy#Dubious to see if you can help out.

I would like peoples opinion of removing the "of"s and "at"s off of the TPC courses as the PGA TOUR did as part of a rebranding effort in 2006. For verification tpc.com shows the names of all the courses for both private and public. These are not just any courses in my eyes but PGA TOUR courses, I believe this should be corrected not only on the TPC Network page but also on all the course pages. Lastly TPC is no longer known as Tournament Players Club, it is just TPC. This was also part of the rebranding effort along with adding a pill box around the logo.

Hi, I'm knew here, so please take my post with that in mind. I have been reading the article about the Golf Event at the 1900 summer olympics.

Hello, I know that PGA and LPGA majors are included, but I think just as relevant are the Senior or Champions Tour majors, which are just as notable in the infobox. If we are going to include even the slightest personal information about spouse, partners, and children, we need to include senior majors. I even think we should be putting caddies in the infobox if we are going to allow for those three categories that I mentioned in the previous sentence. If we are not going to include senior major we should take out all irrelavant info in the infobox not pertaining to the golfers golfing careers. Thanks! BLUE DOG TN 15:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Golf/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you only have approximately 12 articles to be referenced. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.
Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope ( talk) 17:15, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

At Talk:Captain_John_Porteous#Golf someone has asked if the Captain John Porteous who was lynched in Edinburgh in 1736 in the Porteous Riots so vividly described in The Heart of Midlothian is the same person who played "A solemn match of golf" in 1724. Many web sources say it is the same person but have clearly copied Wikipedia, often without attribution and sometimes usurping copyright. [2] says it is the same person with an appearance of authority (but copying may have occured to or from WP). However [3] which might be preferred says the match was in 1659 so this must have been a different Captain JP (or mistaken!). Can anyone help? Thincat ( talk) 17:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I just tagged a proposal at major championships in case anyone actually feels like participating in the discussion this time. Starwrath ( talk) 00:49, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
The page labeled "men's major golf championships" is incorrect - the correct title of the page (a page which redirects to this) should be "Major Championships" as that is the term applied to these events. I put a discussion over on that page a year ago to which no one responded, and then did the move but wjemather reverted it saying we need a discussion, so here I am.
Arguments for the move: the term "golf" is redundant as this term is no used for any other purpose in the English language (as noticed by the fact that "the majors", "the major championships" and "major championships" all redirect to this page already) and putting the term "men" in the title is flat out wrong as there are no rules barring women from playing, which is specifically noted on the page itself, and women have indeed attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open. This move would also mean that related pages would need to be switched to be using the correct terminology. Many pages already do, as all 4 majors note that they are "a major championship" not "a men's major golf championship" but certain other pages also would need to be fixed.
On another note, the word "golf" should also be removed where it is redundant. Having something like "U.S. Open (golf)" or "Bobby Jones (golf)" makes perfect sense for disambiguation purposes, but something like "LPGA major golf championships" is completely redundant, because that is actually saying "Ladies Professional Golf Association major golf championships" - you're using the word "golf" twice. Starwrath ( talk) 22:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
An example I just found is that the pages for the specific US Opens are labeled as "YYYY United States Open Golf Championship" which is inconsistent with it's tennis counterpart (which is labeled "YYYY U.S. Open (tennis)" and the main page labeled ("U.S. Open (golf)") as well as being incorrect in that the word "Golf" should not be in the title of the championship itself. It's things like this that I would also be correcting. Otherwise we mind as well add the word "golf" to everything, such as "2010 Ryder Golf Cup" and "2010 Open Golf Championship" etc. It seems like many pages have the term incorrectly inserted into them for some unknown reason which I intend to fix. I just need some WP:GOLF people to give me the go-ahead, otherwise wjemather is just going to go around reverting every change I make "because it wasn't discussed." Starwrath ( talk) 23:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed that all the matches in Ryder Cup articles that ended not in the 2&1, 3&2, 3&1, are said to be scored 1 hole or 2 holes.
As long as I have followed Ryder Cup golf, when a match was decided by just one or two holes and went the full 18 holes in length, the winner was said to win 1 up or 2 up, not 1 hole or 2 hole as the Ryder Cup articles say.
News accounts on Ryder Cup matches back me up.
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/28/sports/ryder-cup-europe-defeats-us.html- From 1987
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/5375176.stm- in 2006
The matches are reported to finish with the scores of 1 up or 2 up, not 1 hole or 2 holes. I think the Wikipedia articles should reflect this.
I will also note, that Solheim Cup articles use the 1 up or 2 up scores. I'll do the edits but prefer to hear some opinions first.- William 23:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
I saw Crunch needed to ammend what I wrote about Yani Tseng. First of all, I wrote that Tseng was the youngest in the modern era. Second of all, Berg's Titleholder wins count as Major Championships by the LPGA even though the LPGA wasn't founded then. I emailed Mike Scanlan at the LPGA to notify him of the discovery. Six months ago I found out via an old news article on the internet that Kathy Whitworth won the same tournament five times just like Se Ri Pak, Annika Sorenstam, and Mickey Wright. The press reported Pak, Sorenstam, and Wright as only doing it. Guess what? The LPGA record books were corrected after the right information was passed on to them.
Are wikipedia articles supposed to have wrong information because a source or sources are mistaken when at the same time another source is out there with the verifiable correct information? I mean articles on Whitworth, Minnie Rojas, and Kristin Gilibrand would all have to be changed. You'll find dozens of articles or blog posts written in 2009 after Nick Adenhart died that said Minnie Rojas was paralyzed in 1968 or 1969 when in fact you search Google news and find out it happened in 1970.- William 00:46, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not talking typos either.
That is just some of the mistakes I've read and corrected in Wikipedia golf articles. Some of these mistakes have been up for years.
When writing or editing articles, I suggest you use google, and more importantly google news archives to double check facts. Golf stats at the website Golfobserver is also an excellent source.
Also be careful about articles that interview a golfer about something years ago. Golf writers and golfers have been known to embellish stories rather than tell the facts. That's how the Lee Elder Memphis story has become distorted and I can cite other instances. So do a Google news archive search.- William 18:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Golf articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

The new golfer template for the infoboxes are not in line with wikipedia articles of other individuals and personality and should be reverted back to the old ones and be in line with other wikipedia articles or else it is violating the consistency standards with concern to other articles such as tennis players and even other golfers. You would not create a tennis player box for a tennis player so this needs to be rectified immediately by a vote of all members of the wikipedia community and the founders of this site. People should know by looking at the article not the infobox whether the person is a golfer or tennis player of basketball player this violates the consistency standards that wikipedia is built upon. Bluedogtn ( talk) 03:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Look at this page for a more objective template: Template:Infobox Golfer Alternate
I created a new article for Katherine Hull today using the infobox format found on the articles for, for example, Phil Mickelson and Annika Sörenstam. Shortley thereafter, User_talk:Wjemather came along and changed the infobo format. The same format appears to be used in Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and perhaps others. I like the new template so I left a note on Wjemather's talk page thanking him for the work. Low and behold, it appears there is some dspute about the new template. See User_talk:Wjemather#Golfer_Infoboxes and User talk:Bluedogtn. Can someone tell me what the preferred infobox of Project Golf is before I waste my time with extraneous editing and thanking of editors who are acting in opposition to accepted policy? thanks very much. -- Crunch ( talk) 02:43, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
The only reason that there are new infoboxes is that the old ones aren't templates, which they should be. If you would like to make the old one into a template, feel free to. I agree that the old ones are good, but the new ones have the same information pretty much, are easier to implement, and require less code on each page. Grover mj 03:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows ( full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.
If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to
report bugs and
request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a
"news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the display=none
parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at

I have chosen for my first targets every golfer playing on the 2009 European Tour, and I've drawn up a list of those concerned here. If I've already added "(golfer)" it means the main page with that name is not about a golfer. This is where I need your expertise:

The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.
We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.
If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Please look at this edit. Notice the great difference in appearance:
(If one is doing subtraction rather than identifying negative numbers, then one also uses spacing, thus):
The last of the three above is the correct one. But for negative numbers such as those in golf articles, no space should be between the minus sign and the number. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (mathematics). Michael Hardy ( talk) 18:41, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Is John Panton on the to-do list for new articles? His recent death has created a bit of media interest in him, and as well as being at the time of his death the oldest ex-Ryder Cup player, there can't be many 3-time RC players without an article on here. I don't know much about him (ie nothing until reading his obituary) but a brief scan on here shows he also won, and finished runner-up in, the British PGA Matchplay, and won the British Seniors. I think he has a good case for an article. Thanks, EJBH ( talk) 23:05, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

As you may know, we currently have 400 good article nominations, with a large number of them being in the sports and recreation section. As such, the waiting time for this is especially long, much longer than it should be. As a result of this, I am asking each sports-related WikiProject to review two or three of these nominations. If this is abided by, then the backlog should be cleared quite quickly. Some projects nominate a lot but don't review, or vice-versa, and following this should help to provide a balance and make the waiting time much smaller so that our articles can actually get reviewed!

Hi,
I work for Golf Channel and I noticed a few things on the page are outdated. For example there are lot of talent that no longer work for Golf Channel that should be added to the Former Talent section. Also there are some incorrect titles for the current talent. Finally the HD logo that is on the page is the incorrect logo. Is it ok if I go ahead and make those updates or is there someone I can contact to make the appropriate updates? Please let me know.

Hi. The Wikimedia Foundation received an e-mail complaining about inaccuracies in the above article. I have examined the article and addressed most of the issues raised by the correspondent, who is affiliated with the tournament. However, one assertion remains in the article (now tagged dubious), as I have no idea whether the article's authors or our correspondent is correct. I don't believe you need a specific knowledge of this tournament to help out. If you're at all familiar with or interested in international golf tournaments, please take a look at Talk:The Royal Trophy#Dubious to see if you can help out.

I would like peoples opinion of removing the "of"s and "at"s off of the TPC courses as the PGA TOUR did as part of a rebranding effort in 2006. For verification tpc.com shows the names of all the courses for both private and public. These are not just any courses in my eyes but PGA TOUR courses, I believe this should be corrected not only on the TPC Network page but also on all the course pages. Lastly TPC is no longer known as Tournament Players Club, it is just TPC. This was also part of the rebranding effort along with adding a pill box around the logo.

Hi, I'm knew here, so please take my post with that in mind. I have been reading the article about the Golf Event at the 1900 summer olympics.

Based upon other entries, I believe the corrected sentence should read, "22 golfers competed in 1900, including 10 women and 12 men."

Hello, I know that PGA and LPGA majors are included, but I think just as relevant are the Senior or Champions Tour majors, which are just as notable in the infobox. If we are going to include even the slightest personal information about spouse, partners, and children, we need to include senior majors. I even think we should be putting caddies in the infobox if we are going to allow for those three categories that I mentioned in the previous sentence. If we are not going to include senior major we should take out all irrelavant info in the infobox not pertaining to the golfers golfing careers. Thanks! BLUE DOG TN 15:28, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons (UBLPs) aims to reduce the number of unreferenced biographical articles to under 30,000 by June 1, primarily by enabling WikiProjects to easily identify UBLP articles in their project's scope. There were over 52,000 unreferenced BLPs in January 2010 and this has been reduced to 32,665 as of May 16. A bot is now running daily to compile a list of all articles that are in both Category:All unreferenced BLPs and have been tagged by a WikiProject. Note that the bot does NOT place unreferenced tags or assign articles to projects - this has been done by others previously - it just compiles a list.
Your Project's list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Golf/Unreferenced BLPs. As of May 17 you only have approximately 12 articles to be referenced. The list of all other WikiProject UBLPs can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/WikiProjects.
Your assistance in reviewing and referencing these articles is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please don't hestitate to ask either at WT:URBLP or at my talk page. Thanks, The-Pope ( talk) 17:15, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

At Talk:Captain_John_Porteous#Golf someone has asked if the Captain John Porteous who was lynched in Edinburgh in 1736 in the Porteous Riots so vividly described in The Heart of Midlothian is the same person who played "A solemn match of golf" in 1724. Many web sources say it is the same person but have clearly copied Wikipedia, often without attribution and sometimes usurping copyright. [2] says it is the same person with an appearance of authority (but copying may have occured to or from WP). However [3] which might be preferred says the match was in 1659 so this must have been a different Captain JP (or mistaken!). Can anyone help? Thincat ( talk) 17:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

I just tagged a proposal at major championships in case anyone actually feels like participating in the discussion this time. Starwrath ( talk) 00:49, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
The page labeled "men's major golf championships" is incorrect - the correct title of the page (a page which redirects to this) should be "Major Championships" as that is the term applied to these events. I put a discussion over on that page a year ago to which no one responded, and then did the move but wjemather reverted it saying we need a discussion, so here I am.
Arguments for the move: the term "golf" is redundant as this term is no used for any other purpose in the English language (as noticed by the fact that "the majors", "the major championships" and "major championships" all redirect to this page already) and putting the term "men" in the title is flat out wrong as there are no rules barring women from playing, which is specifically noted on the page itself, and women have indeed attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open. This move would also mean that related pages would need to be switched to be using the correct terminology. Many pages already do, as all 4 majors note that they are "a major championship" not "a men's major golf championship" but certain other pages also would need to be fixed.
On another note, the word "golf" should also be removed where it is redundant. Having something like "U.S. Open (golf)" or "Bobby Jones (golf)" makes perfect sense for disambiguation purposes, but something like "LPGA major golf championships" is completely redundant, because that is actually saying "Ladies Professional Golf Association major golf championships" - you're using the word "golf" twice. Starwrath ( talk) 22:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
An example I just found is that the pages for the specific US Opens are labeled as "YYYY United States Open Golf Championship" which is inconsistent with it's tennis counterpart (which is labeled "YYYY U.S. Open (tennis)" and the main page labeled ("U.S. Open (golf)") as well as being incorrect in that the word "Golf" should not be in the title of the championship itself. It's things like this that I would also be correcting. Otherwise we mind as well add the word "golf" to everything, such as "2010 Ryder Golf Cup" and "2010 Open Golf Championship" etc. It seems like many pages have the term incorrectly inserted into them for some unknown reason which I intend to fix. I just need some WP:GOLF people to give me the go-ahead, otherwise wjemather is just going to go around reverting every change I make "because it wasn't discussed." Starwrath ( talk) 23:08, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
I've noticed that all the matches in Ryder Cup articles that ended not in the 2&1, 3&2, 3&1, are said to be scored 1 hole or 2 holes.
As long as I have followed Ryder Cup golf, when a match was decided by just one or two holes and went the full 18 holes in length, the winner was said to win 1 up or 2 up, not 1 hole or 2 hole as the Ryder Cup articles say.
News accounts on Ryder Cup matches back me up.
http://www.nytimes.com/1987/09/28/sports/ryder-cup-europe-defeats-us.html- From 1987
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/5375176.stm- in 2006
The matches are reported to finish with the scores of 1 up or 2 up, not 1 hole or 2 holes. I think the Wikipedia articles should reflect this.
I will also note, that Solheim Cup articles use the 1 up or 2 up scores. I'll do the edits but prefer to hear some opinions first.- William 23:15, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
I saw Crunch needed to ammend what I wrote about Yani Tseng. First of all, I wrote that Tseng was the youngest in the modern era. Second of all, Berg's Titleholder wins count as Major Championships by the LPGA even though the LPGA wasn't founded then. I emailed Mike Scanlan at the LPGA to notify him of the discovery. Six months ago I found out via an old news article on the internet that Kathy Whitworth won the same tournament five times just like Se Ri Pak, Annika Sorenstam, and Mickey Wright. The press reported Pak, Sorenstam, and Wright as only doing it. Guess what? The LPGA record books were corrected after the right information was passed on to them.
Are wikipedia articles supposed to have wrong information because a source or sources are mistaken when at the same time another source is out there with the verifiable correct information? I mean articles on Whitworth, Minnie Rojas, and Kristin Gilibrand would all have to be changed. You'll find dozens of articles or blog posts written in 2009 after Nick Adenhart died that said Minnie Rojas was paralyzed in 1968 or 1969 when in fact you search Google news and find out it happened in 1970.- William 00:46, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm not talking typos either.
That is just some of the mistakes I've read and corrected in Wikipedia golf articles. Some of these mistakes have been up for years.
When writing or editing articles, I suggest you use google, and more importantly google news archives to double check facts. Golf stats at the website Golfobserver is also an excellent source.
Also be careful about articles that interview a golfer about something years ago. Golf writers and golfers have been known to embellish stories rather than tell the facts. That's how the Lee Elder Memphis story has become distorted and I can cite other instances. So do a Google news archive search.- William 18:31, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.
We would like to ask you to review the Golf articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.
We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!
