Trivial original research charts edit

The charts that include all players who have ever been ranked in the top 10 and top 20 and really trivial and likely original research. Can we find a source that shows these exact charts anywhere? We have a chart already that shows the matches of top-10 players at the time they met. That's easy to source as the matches occur. But the trivial charts mean they could have met when a player was ranked 200. Plus, anytime any player makes it to the top 10 or top 20, we have to check every other player they have ever played so that we can add them to the chart. We have no way of seeing if these charts are accurate. It is why they are slowly being removed by WikiProject Tennis. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

For readers who want the charts: mods of foreign language are thankfully less indolent than above. Compiling obscure data from verifiable sources is a service now entrusted to Wikipedia only, given publication constraints.
The lament "but how long will it take to check all this" reflects the mistrust of mods over the readers' proofing abilities. Without trust, Wikipedia is back to a boring encyclopedia with gatekeepers. 5.20.126.198 (talk) 08:10, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
