Paula Creamer to B-class?Do they know the truth about who you really are "crunch"?. It's just a matter of time before everyone knows... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.184.42.8 (talk • contribs) at 19:24, 1 January 2012 I've done some work on the Paula Creamer article and feel that it deserves an upgrade, but Grovermj, the leader of the Golf WikiProject, is apparently on a school break. You work on more LPGA bios than anyone else here, so could you please take a look at it and tell me if it's ready for a B rating among Golf articles, and if not, what it needs? Thanks.

U.S. Solheim Cup templateDo they know the truth about who you really are "crunch"?. It's just a matter of time before everyone knows... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.184.42.8 (talk • contribs) at 19:24, 1 January 2012 The template for the 2007 U.S. Solheim Cup team has an omission. It should be stated that Beth Daniel was the assistant captain, but the template doesn't indicate that, unlike the European template. You would think the American team had 13 players, when we both know that isn't true. Once the information is added, the template will gain an extra line, possibly messing up the formatting. I am still relatively new here, and am unsure of myself when it comes to formatting issues. Could you please give me a hand with this one? Giants2008 (talk) 17:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
EditsThank you. I will remember to list what kind of edits I am making in the future.Koollatter (talk) 5:11, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the warm welcome, and the resources as well. Category confusionWhat is the purpose of Category:Female golfers? At first glance, it seems like it should be for female golfers who aren't/weren't members of a major tour. This has recently been added to Paula Creamer and Annika Sörenstam, and a couple other LPGA golfers already had it. The user who added them was the same one who added Category:LPGA Tour golfers to Michelle Wie. Should this category be added to all other female golfers, or are these good-faith edits gone wrong? (P.S. - Good luck fighting the Australian vandals. I'll watch for suspicious edits as well.) Giants2008 (talk) 17:23, 11 May 2008 (UTC) Changes to golf tournament namesYes, the changes are quite irritating. I hadn't noticed the LPGA changes, but this user (or users) have been changing Ladies European Tour names for almost a year now, on and off. Look at the page history :-) The IP address changes frequently, but they all seem to come from Australia. It started last June 1, right when Golf Punk magazine became the title sponsor for one of the events (timing may have been a coincidence). Most of the time the sponsors are more-or-less correct, but these full names go well beyond even what the ladieseuropeantour.com schedule has. They have also changed the external schedule link on the LET page to a Japanese-language LPGA of Japan schedule (this past february) and xtube.com (just recently). I also recall changes to the Evian Masters page, but I had not noticed these IPs changing other articles recently, but obviously they have. I'm really not sure what can be done, especially since the IP changes so much (and between entirely different network blocks too). The name-changers have never once discussed anything on a talk page, as far as I've seen. The name changes on the LET page have been nearly identical every time. Very odd situation. Carl Lindberg (talk) 19:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Is this a good addition?I have another question for you: Should this incident be added to the relevant biographies?[3] This was not added at the time, but the articles were smaller back then. I'm concerned about this both ways. There are no controversial moments in Creamer's article, and Sorenstam's only controversy is her PGA Tour appearance, which is unreferenced with the exception of Vijay's comments. At the same time, I don't want to put undue weight on this. I trust your opinion, so your thoughts would be appreciated. Giants2008 (talk) 01:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Dollar amounts for Wie Ladies German OpenCrunch, you entered the dollar amount 11,274 for Wie's winnings (8750 euro) I then entered the correct amount and proved a link for how it was calculated ie 13,601 as at that exchange rate on that day. link reference: http://www.google.ie/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=8750+euro+in+dollars&meta= You then proceeded to change my entry to a new figure 12,156 Where did you get either of these figures ie 11,274 and 12,156 My figures are correct. Please undo your latest entry. --Stanley delaney2 (talk) 18:06, 3 June 2008 (UTC) Thanks Crunch for that. Just to let you know, the figure I quoted ie 13601 was from the exchange rate the day the money was won (probably most accurate to use), but your new figure 13563 is close enough, so I'm happy enough to leave it at that. Thanks for your speedy response. --Stanley delaney2 (talk) 00:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC) I'll give you three guesses who this is aboutAfter all the work I put in to get Paula Creamer promoted to B-class, a new C-class is being adopted, and B-class standards will be raised. This is a great thing for the site, but I'm concerned that Creamer's article could be in line for a demotion. I feel bad asking you for more advice, but I'm interested to see what your opinion is on this. For your convenience here's a link to Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment, where the new guidelines are being discussed (look under Rewrite process, B-class). Thanks for this and all your previous help. Giants2008 (talk) 03:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC) Australian edits issuethanks for the background of the issue.

Template:Years in golfA don't know why the Template:Years in golf doesn't work right yet. I've seen other templates do this for a short time and then they work fine. I think it has something to do with how the templates are transcluded. Tewapack (talk) 16:12, 20 December 2008 (UTC).

They can be found in the 'LPGA photos taken by Keith Allison' commons category. Please consider embeding them into existing players' wiki profiles and update this page accordingly.

BR, Wmigda (talk) 18:41, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Section moveI was curious as to why you moved the Personal life section in Paula Creamer below the tables, given that you told me last year that it should be above them. Has the recommended organization of golf articles changed during this time? Giants2008 (17-14) 14:20, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
New LPGA players photosHello, Keith Allison has made a trip to LPGA Championship again and released another set of photos on flickr. The ones I've transfered into commons are now under the commons:Category:2009 LPGA Championship category. I guess you will want to use them in relevant infoboxes/articles. There is still a bunch of those where I couldn't identify the players pictured - a volunteer with a good eye will come handy :) BR, Wmigda (talk) 07:41, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Eun-Hee Ji PageI'm the one who originally added the reference to her part in the English policy controversy. The edit you did is mostly fine with me, but I need out one thing and ask about something else. You used a blog as a source for whether Ji speaks English or not. Aren't blogs considered not a legitimate source for references? The placement of controversy section is way too low on the page. Golfers involved with controversy, Jane Blalock for one, have the section above their wins sections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamJE (talk • contribs) 14:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC) Wie editsThats not what I did at all. "I knew the rule wrong" is a portion of a very long quote taken from an interview. I merely decided to do a paraphrase because it is improper to cherry pick a portion of a quote, rather than include the whole quote. The whole quote is long and hence why I chose to redo it as a paraphrase. Note I did change the edit back leaving the quote in and then paraphrasing the wrest of her quote as a compromise. The paraphrase was of the exact meaning of her statement only shorter. Did you read the whole quote? its a long one, or did an article cherry pick this quote from the interview, and you read the article. The quote comes from a television interview. MATThematical (talk) 17:36, 2 August 2009 (UTC) There is another reason why I chose not to include the whole quote. It is filled with things like "ums", repeats of previous statements, and in general bad English. It would hurt the flow of the article to include it. Basically "I knew the rule wrong" didn't really explain whether she didn't know she wasn't allowed to ground the club, or whether hitting a loose impediment on a back swing before continuously swinging through it is grounding the club. Its notable that the announcers agreed with her at the time, so apparently many people know the rule wrong. The quote makes it seem like this is just a simple rule she new wrong, when in fact it is an obscure rule that most golfers are unaware of, even at the professional level. I will retry to write the quote with a few ...s, to try make it shorter and more readable. But definitely review my work on this. I am not used to editing quotes. I tried to keep a very neutral point of view in my paraphrase. MATThematical (talk) 18:12, 4 August 2009 (UTC) I completely agree if the section is about her bad grammar, or if the quote is still understandable despite the bad grammar. But in a section about about a particular topic a quote that has bad grammar can distract the reader from the topic at hand. I don't care about casting Wie in a good or bad light, I prefer to keep a neutral point of view. If you want to add a bad grammar section to the article, go ahead, but you have to understand that this is an encyclopedia, and that means sticking to an organized structure. You can't just stick quotes throughout the article with bad grammar haphazardly. Do you think adding Michelle Wie's response to this incident really adds anything to the article anyway, can you please tell me why you think it should be included. By the way, I added the exact quote, with one "..." where she talks about some irrelevant stuff, pretty much all the bad grammar is included, its not atrocious enough that it distracts from the meaning or is any worse than most sports persons interviews. Most articles on golfers do not have the golfers response to the incident, unless they added something interesting or pointed out something knew. The statement to the effect of, I knew the rule wrong...I thought if you swung through it everything would be ok, doesn't really add anything to the description of the incident in my opinion. But now that it explains how she knew the rule wrong I think its better. Before it was a worthless quote for an encyclopedic article.

-Stevertigo 19:21, 30 August 2009 (UTC) Speedy deletion nomination of Kara Kennedy Allen A tag has been placed on Kara Kennedy Allen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding This seems like a mightily impromper speedy to me – it's two years after the original AfD, the content of the new article isn't just a repost, and there's at least a plausible argument that her notability level has changed since then. I think the place to appeal it is WP:DRV. Wasted Time R (talk) 23:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC) The instructions are at Wikipedia:DRV#Steps_to_list_a_new_deletion_review. But per those instructions, you should probably first post something about this at User talk:Jake Wartenberg, since he's the admin who did the speedy. Looks like you contact two other admins, which is less effective. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:10, 2 September 2009 (UTC) The history is at the empty Kara Kennedy Allen page in the red box at the top.

Streamlining the Wie articleI just made an attempt to help streamline the article, based on the consensus on the talk page that has been up for a while. It had a ridiculous amount of detail, and still does. I deleted some results in tournaments that were just silly to mention. However, I did not delete very many (if any I don't remember) missed cuts because someone might view that as not being neutral, but I think a lot of it needs to go. I think only her (a) near wins, not just a top 10 finish but one where she was in the running in the final few holes, (b) results in majors, (c) results in male tournaments, (d) interesting facts and tid bits, and (e) controversial withdraws/dqs are worthy of mentioning. I also deleted her results chart that had every tournament result in it she has ever competed in as a professional, that was just silly and a waste of space I think, no other golfer has this. Anyways, I was wandering if you would be willing to look over my changes and cut some more stuff out yourself. I think you would probably do a much better job than me, but i thought I would get the ball running for other editors. thanks, MATThematical (talk) 18:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC) I wasn't being disrespectful to the wiki process, there was a discussion about this you started a while back on the talk page 2006 - 2008, and of those chiming in everyone agreed upon streamlining. You claimed that this was resolved, but how is anyone suppose to know that when you don't say anything about resolving it on the talk page. Clearly the article looks like this discussion was not resolved, although if you acted on it a year ago, I can see how it probably has come forth again. I guess you made the edit about a year ago, since that is when someonesle agreed upon the streamline after you did. Did you really wait 2 years to take action? If you made the edit beofre then, didn't then the newer comment shows that other people don't think the issue was resolved. I never intended to do a wide spread edit without consensus. Don't make it sound like I just made this up out of no where, and that there is "obviously" no such discussion on the issue. You knew what discussion I was referring to, and all you had to say was "matthematical made an edit referring to a consensus in 2008 that was resolved. Since then the problem has reoccurred and so he likely edited this article thinking that the original discussion was not acted upon." The way the statement is currently phrased, it practically calls me a liar. I really feel like the statement should be revised so that it gives me the benefit of the doubt. On a separate issue, I am not sure what the etiquette is for editing the wiki after making a suggestion on the talk page. Do you have to wait until someone replies to the suggestion before you do it? In that case you would have to wait 2 years before you could make the changes you proposed in 2006. Is this standard or does it have to do with it being an article of a living person? Or is no one commenting on the suggestion after a given period of time justification for doing the edit. If so how long is long enough before one can just go ahead and do the edit? These tricky questions are what led me to just doing the edit and then commenting on people's talk pages who frequently edit the wie article to go over the changes, that and the discussion that was apparently acted upon a while ago but based on the current state it didn't look like it was acted upon. Those two issues is what made me go ahead and do the edit. I wouldn't just do the edit without thinking there was some consensus. MATThematical (talk) 22:42, 13 September 2009 (UTC) Obviously I'm not a prankster, my history shows that, and my edits were very reasonable (although granted major and deserved a larger discussion). If I were a prankster why would i ask you to take a look at my changes. Anyway, based on your response it sounds like you made the change in 2006 even though no one replied to your suggestion. So Ill ask again, as it was the most important part of my above post (I am trying to learn wiki etiquette). How long in general should one wait for a reply before doing a major edit? Wikipedia has a different etiquette as does wikispot wikis so I am trying to learn it by reading the basic pages on it, but there seems to be many nuances that are not covered. To be honest, when I first made the edit I didn't notice that your edit was 2006, I just saw the post below it and assumed that it was a fairly current conversion, and stupidly didn't check the dates. They looked like the same issue to me, but i have no idea what the page looked like in 2006. MATThematical (talk) 23:23, 13 September 2009 (UTC) sounds great.

LPGA Tour winsHi Crunch, I was thinking that LPGA tour wins for individual players should be put into a wikitable.

They are not considered the same tournament. I'll cite the LPGA's microsite as proof. http://www.lpga.com/tournament_microsite.aspx?id=18532 It clearly states the 2009 version is the inaugural event. I could also add there was a golf article written today that says the ADT may be back in 2011. These two tournaments then need to be divided into two separate Wikipedia articles.William 21:12, 21 November 2009 (UTC) 2009 LPGA TourHi, in the introductory part you mentioned that Rookie of the Year was won by Anna Nordqvist, whilst it was Shin who was awarded with it (just as mentioned under the Awards secion).

The LPGA Championship is over. Go to lpga.com for the results (that's where I am editing them from). Why not check this out before undoing all the edits? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.208.107 (talk) 20:56, 27 June 2010 (UTC) I noticed you were the one who changed an edit of mine regarding the entrants with the comment (paraphrasing), "show all or show none." I'll tell you why I did it my way. I planned to show players in the same manner that they're listed in all articles for the men's major championships—for example, the 2010 U.S. (men's) Open. The standard for listing the fields in articles on individual men's majors is to show players EXACTLY ONCE in the first category by which they are qualified, but list remaining categories with each player in parentheses. Hope you understand my rationale... :) — Dale Arnett (talk) 06:04, 28 June 2010 (UTC) AutoreviewerI would be glad to nominate you for this permission if you want me to do so!BLUEDOGTN 18:05, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

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? Check the LPGA record books have been corrected. 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 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 00:41, 2 August 2010 (UTC) A point to one of your points at my talk section. You said the LPGA says Tseng is the youngest to win three majors. In 2007 the LPGA also said Pak, Sorenstam, and Wright were the only LPGA golfers to win the same tournament five times. http://www.lpga.com/content_1.aspx?mid=4&pid=11801 http://lpga.com/content/Alltimerecords.pdf Look at their record books today, their press release in 2007 was wrong.- William 01:03, 2 August 2010 (UTC) Middle vs MaidenHi Crunch. As you can see in that video, she says her full name is Julia McWilliams Child. It is her maiden name but after she was married, it became her middle name. Shouldn't that be in the lead? Thanks, Tommy! [message] 17:05, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Scottish Rite CathedralI usually don't chase on AfD comments, but your vote rationale is directly contradictory to facts in the article. The basis of the AfD is that the building is not (and this is clearly stated in the article) on the National Register of Historic Places and is therefore not notable. It is eligible, but its listing was declined by the owner. So I've got a minor issue with your vote of "keep because it's on the NRHP" (because it isn't). Your vote is up to you, but could you at least do something with the rationale? MSJapan (talk) 01:39, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
Project RunwayHey, thanks for taking the time to weed through that Fancrufty summary. I thought mine was succinct, but at least expanded just enough to make it relevant, but fantards always take it further. I was too lazy to sift through and remove the excess of that other Wiki-user, but I appreciate it =). Oh, and I also agree about Peach only being singled out via the editing, especially because it didn't find the precedent of 'being the last two remaining in contention for the win'. Only if the other four were dismissed, I suppose, would it qualify. Agreed? P.S. Just for kicks, do you have any favorites? I'd have to go with Valerie and Mondo--they're the most consistent and intriguing. But I like most/all of Team Underdog, plus Michael C., especially April and Peach, because they're the most entertaining. After all, this is a TV show.--Cinemaniac86Dane_Cook_Hater_Extraordinaire 04:53, 30 August 2010 (UTC) Accusations of bullying and bad faithI would encourage you to be more careful about making accusations of bad faith, and to seriously look to yourself before you accuse anyone of being a bully.

Rachel Campos-DuffyI do not know that it is documented; It is merely my observation after editing so many biographical articles in the past five and a half years. Generally, material on a person's life from their birth to when they're career started falls under "Early life" (child actors being a notable exception). The phrase pertains to everything up when a person's career began, and/or when they became a public, and thus "and education" is redundant.

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I edited it out. The LPGA doesn't differentiate records between 54 and 72 hole tournaments except for total scoring. http://lpga.com/content/Alltimerecords.pdf If the LPGA doesn't recognize the difference in tournaments that Hagge and Creamer won in, neither should Wikipedia- William 22:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC) Actually, he won his four at the age of 21, which makes your edit to Yani Tseng invalid. The golf channel's Rich Learner brought that up just yesterday on the golf channel telecast. Plus, even an article on the website specifies youngest to win four LPGA majors Golf Channel.SaysWhoWhatWhenWhereWhyHow? (talk) 19:09, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Candie Kung is a United States CitizenFrom a interview at the 2008 Evian Masters Q. Is it true that you learned how to play in the states not in Korea? CANDIE KUNG: First of all, I'm not from Korea. I'm from Taiwan. Yes, I didn't play golf when I was in Taiwan. I picked up golf when we moved to the U.S. DANA GROSS-RHODE: When was that? CANDIE KUNG: That was back in 1995. Q. Are you a U.S. citizen as well? CANDIE KUNG: Yes I am. Q. How long have you been a U.S. citizen? CANDIE KUNG: I would say about three, four years. Q. Does that mean you have a dual nationality, dual citizenship? You have two citizenships? CANDIE KUNG: No. I only have U.S. passport. Kung calls herself a U.S. citizen. Case closed and the LPGA, who insists on still having her as Taiwanese, is wrong- William 21:35, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Kung is the decided on the case. She said no she has no to having two citizenships.- William 00:31, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Your less than brilliant LPGA Corning Classic editWhy don't you make sure what the heck you're doing in the first place. Recently I corrected[7] your horrendously wrong edit[8] to Reilly Rankin. Today I cleaned up your work[9] on the LPGA Corning Classic. Instead of correcting the wrong information that Yani Tseng held both the aggregate and to par records for the tournament, you instead changed the to par to the lowest 18 hole marks. The to par, is for under par for the length of the tournament. I cite for you Honda LPGA Thailand, ShopRite LPGA Classic, Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic for examples. Tseng shot 267 -21 in 2009 but Juli Inkster shot 264 -24 in 2003. You even Juli in your mistaken edit! The right answers were right in front of you. I keep cleaning up other people's garbage in these articles. It's a long list.- William 19:54, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
The use of blogs as sources for golf sourcesYou edited[11] one out as a reference once saying in your summary 'remove blog reference per Wikipedia standards' The self published and questionable sources part of WP:reliable sources states- "Blogs" in this context refers to personal and group blogs. Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control. There are quite a few golf journalists that blog. Randall Mell and Beth Ann Baldry of Golfweek, Ron Sirak of Golf World, Craig Dolch of PGATour.com. The reference you removed, was a blog at the Palm Beach Post newspaper, written by Edgar Thompson. These are media journalists(and others like them) per the WP guidelines and can be considered reliable sources. Here's another area you may be less familar with. Individual bloggers who have been credentialed to write at Pro golf tournaments. Stephanie Wei of Wei Under Par, Geoff Schakelford, The Constructivist at Mostly Harmless, and Bill Jempty at OTB Sports[12] to name a few. Using these as sources, if any of these bloggers are doing independent reporting, can be used for references but you have to scrutinize what they're writing. All four I mention above are pretty clear if they're reporting on their own or just taking news from another site via a link. Trust me that these bloggers when reporting have to be careful. The tours can pull credentials very easy or use the threat as leverage. I know from personal experience. I'm one of those four independent bloggers I listed up above, Bill Jempty. This is a heads up. I didn't look at the reference you pulled except to see who the source was. Whether it helped the article or not, I don't know- William 22:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC) New Page Patrol survey
Catriona MatthewShe has 9 not 10 professional victories. You are the second editor in the last day that's double counted her 2009 Women's British Open victory.- William 14:56, 14 November 2011 (UTC) Beth Daniel, Helen Alfredsson, Juli InksterYou are a complete idiot. You edited out of Daniel and Alfredsson playoff result boxes. Are you a imbecile plus in need of a seeing eye dog???? As for Inkster, we don't do citations in win boxes. Point me out one where its done like that?- William 00:42, 21 November 2011 (UTC) And BTW you called my edition of a playoff box non-sensical. If that's not a personal attack, what is? You have proved this week you can't either count[13] or read[14].- William 01:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC) Maybe in an alternate universebut in the real world Anna Nordqvist did not win 2009 LPGA Rookie of the Year like you wrote in an early edit[15] of 2009 LPGA Tour. JiYai Shin was ROY.[16] I fixed it but two years after the erroneous information was first put up. Anyone who followed the LPGA in 2009 knows Shin was trying to become the first golfer since Nancy Lopez to get POY and ROY honors.- William 02:49, 3 December 2011 (UTC) Orphaned non-free image File:Occ-logo.pngThanks for uploading File:Occ-logo.png.

Skier Dude (talk) 04:58, 3 December 2011 (UTC) The LPGA can't be wrong about a tournament's name....Try againCase in point- The 1976 Women's International. It is listed here [17] and here[18]] by the name Ladies Masters at Moss Creek at the LPGA website. Read this and its references- When the tournament was first announced in January 1976 it was titled the Ladies Masters and sponsors said they would pattern the event similar to the Masters Tournament.Ladies Masters added to LPGA slate in May. A little over a month later the LPGA announced the tournament's name was being changed to the Women's International. Ladies' Masters changes name This happened after Masters Tournament officials contacted the tournament's sponsor and threatened to go to court unless the word Masters wasn't removed from the tournament title.
The Tournament was the Women's International not the Ladies Masters as the LPGA says. I consider we reopen the Sanford Women's Open and retitle it appropriately. I'm posting this to tewapack's and the the tournament discussion page. Make comment at the latter if you have any.- William 20:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC) Disambiguation link notificationHi. When you recently edited Harry Parker (rower), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page 1984 Olympic Games (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 22:07, 24 June 2013 (UTC) Incorrect views on wiki guidelines"As I said, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt for being new to Wikipedia and not understanding that you can't go in and make widespread changes without asking for discussion and getting some sort of consensus." Please see [Wikipedia:Be_bold], as this statement isn't true. You absolutely can do this, editing and reverting is part of the proper wikipedia process. Even mentioning the word "prankster" to describe my edits even if it starts with something like "I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a prankster" is inappropriate. It would be like me starting off with "I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt that you are not a bully who goes around ..." In addition words like "obviously" should be avoided in pretty much any discussion. If it's truly obvious you wouldn't need to say it. MATThematical (talk) 06:56, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
Sorry I am referring to the old Wie discussion. Anyways, I don't understand why you keep on making statements like "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a current news report only reporting what is most recent." Of course I know this, and to imply that anything I did or said is opposed to this philosophy is just out right wrong (or at best a subjective opinion). I never said controversies should be deleted. I said the quotes by Wie section should be deleted because it goes against Wikipedia:Trivia_sections. I did say that controversies should be succinctly summarized and located in one place (either the controversies section or the play by play section) and not repeated. And I also said that controversies that are from minority points of view (like the one on her attire) should not be given undue weight. For major controversies related to play by play a quick one sentence or less description can be placed in the play by play section with the controversy section going into more detail, but any more repeats than that violates wikipedia's undue weight guidelines. I put a lot of work into cutting a lot of unnecessary language, more logically structuring some of the sections for better readability, and succinctly summarizing non-notable slumps, poor performance and average performances. I don't disagree with your new edits. They are fairly minor, and help improve the article. Thank you. MATThematical (talk) 17:09, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
