  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at List of Grand Slam men's singles champions. Your edits have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You have been told multiple times not to overlink and not to remove proper flags. This time you get a warning Fyunck(click) (talk) 01:46, 12 September 2012 (UTC)Reply


Hi Fyunck(click) I have not made an unconstructive edit and would hardly consider my edit vandalism as it actually improves the article. The key aspect of my edit was to provide a link for each instance of each player. This system is commonly used on the wikipedia golf pages among many other lists, sports and otherwise. Examples are as follows: Women's major golf championships and Men's major golf championships. I await your thoughts on this subject as clearly it would make more sense for a link to be in place for every major tournament which has been played, both for ease of reference (particularly relevant when the player is a multi Grand Slam winner whose wins have come over a long period of time eg Margaret Court). Excuse me if I simply made the edit without consulting others, I do hope you agree with the rationale behind this and that we may discuss.

Lastly of note I have not received multiple or any warnings on this subject as I haven't carried out this revision before - perhaps you could advise.

Thanks

Sure thing.
As for over-linking, the wiki guideline states "Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead." Notice "may" and it is talked about in discussion here. The table should really stand on it's own with a single link. Now, is it etched in granite?...no it's not. But if you make a major change like that to a long standing format, and it gets reverted, wiki policy is to not change it again but instead bring your arguments to the talk page, or perhaps the project talk page (in this case Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis to discuss. So no problem with making bold changes without consulting others, but if reverted you should not change it again without full consensus. Any questions on the subject?

Chi Chi Rodriguez is a United States citizen and he's played on the United States Ryder Cup team. Puerto Rico is not a country....William 23:15, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Chi Chi Rodriguez still isn't a citizen of Puerto Rico. Did you read what I wrote above?...William 23:30, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

While it may not be an independent nation, sportspeople from that island, boxers in particular, often refer to themselves and are described as Puerto Rican and use their national flag. The wikipedia article even describes him as Puerto Rican and he is referred as such in many places online. Perhaps we should ask him!? Djfsb (talk) 23:40, 28 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Candie Kung, Jenny Lidback

edit

Kung has been a United States citizen since about 2005. In a 2008 interview, Kung said she does not duel citizenship. Therefore she was a US citizen at the time of the 2009 U.S. Women's Open

Jenny Lidback had duel Swedish and Peruvian citizenship for much of her life. She is now a U.S. Citizen.

The golfer's articles and their edit histories would show to you that your changes were incorrect. In the future, check these, or if unsure ask me or editor Tewapack about the golfer's citizenship. If I see further incorrect citizenship changes, I will inform an administrator or possibly take you to ANI which could result in you being blocked from editing....William 14:43, 6 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Candie has the Taiwanese flag by her name for all LPGA tournaments, including Majors. Jenny was updated with a Peruvian flag as her wins were when she had Peruvian citizenship Djfsb (talk) 19:42, 6 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Lidback was born in Peru and had duel Peruvian and Swedish citizenship[1] and Candie Kung said[2] in 2008.
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.

The sources you're relying upon are wrong, even if they're the LPGA. Many of the golf records here at Wikipedia are right so far as LPGA golf goes and the LPGA is wrong. I can point out at least three other examples, Juli Inkster's playoff record and the names of the two tournaments. Want to see what I mean?...William 23:27, 6 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

And being born in Enid, Oklahoma makes[3] somebody being from Thailand?...William 02:09, 7 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

You should contact the LPGA in that case if their info is wrong! http://www.lpga.com/golf/players/k/candie-kung/bio.aspx

I didn't see Prammanasudh's bd, too much haste!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Naree Song, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Thai (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.
