Bristol World Golf Tournament

It is poor etiquete to revert an edit which was not vandilisation without an explaination. The dates I added were correct. Dorkinglad (talk) 16:16, 21 March 2023 (UTC)an[reply]

The dates had nothing to do with the tournament and were therefor misleading. Tewapack (talk) 16:24, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. keep on truckin'. Next time an explanation. It's courtesy. Dorkinglad (talk) 12:48, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

John Daly

His age was showing up as 56 yesterday, on his birthday, until I changed the birth month from 4 to 04. Maybe that was just a coincidence? It was the afternoon, so it wasn't a time zone issue. The birth date and age template seems broken. Kstern (talk) 11:34, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Pena/Peña

Is there a source anywhere to suggest that his name is spelt Peña and not Pena? Have had a quick look and found nothing. Jimmymci234 (talk) 14:01, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimmymci234: Peña was certainly used in many newspapers during the 1990s, e.g. [1]. _wjemather^please leave a message... 19:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wjemather: Thanks, will go with that then. Jimmymci234 (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DEU/GER

I know it doesn't really matter, but is there any difference in using these codes for flagicons, or is it just purely based on preference? Jimmymci234 (talk) 18:28, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Using DEU requires 1 less template load than GER. As you said, doesn't really matter. Tewapack (talk) 18:30, 27 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mark H. McCormack Medal

Sorry for the mess. Tried to correct without being aware of your correction. EEJB EEJB (talk) 21:27, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cat sort reverts on PGA Championships

Hi, I was just wondering why the cat sorts were reverted. I don't doubt you have a good reason for doing it, but it would be helpful to know why it was done, for future reference. Thanks! Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^Gab • Gruntwerk 17:33, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think it makes more sense to sort by year for these types of events (non-annual, or no pattern). Tewapack (talk) 20:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is sense to doing it that way, I agree. But I think in this case where we're collecting different kinds of events that happened in a city, sorting by year jumbles them in terms of the name/kind of event and may make it harder for the reader to find what they're looking for (in principle at least). That's why I was trying to sort by event name, with year as a secondary sort. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^Gab • Gruntwerk 20:23, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Golfers sections w/ wins

Hi, sorry for not following what I see now is pretty common/the norm for golfers in terms of sections dealing with wins and thanks for reverting it. (Not sure why I hadn't noticed it before.) Is there a good thread/page that talks about the suggested layout for golfers? Thanks! Skynxnex (talk) 21:18, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately no. The style has evolved (and continues to evolve) over time. Tewapack (talk) 22:54, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
