Andy Murray

I advise you to stop edit-warring and discuss your edits on the Talk page. Before you do so, you may want to review our guidelines on names in articles, the type of language recommended and achieving neutrality of tone. Thanks. Rodhullandemu 21:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Andy's racquet. Why does it say it is a Youtek Radical when it clearly isn't? Do a search for "federer paint job tennis", for example, in Google before you comment with 'WTF' in your edit. Andy uses a Youtek Radical because Head says he does? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.35.18.142 (talk) 10:42, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Year-End

It doesn't make sense to put the ranking the rankign refelct the performance of a player in the past 52 weeks, and doesn't reflect anything. So are you saying that Federer is leader in the points collected in the year. If yoy look at the itf website and search for Federer ir states that he is 2nd in the race and that Roddick is 1st. And Del Potro is the 5th player to collect the most poitn wheas he is not even in the top 20. So placing the rankings doens't make sense.

Honey i have been doing longe rthan you have and i was the one who edited the 2009 barclays year-end championships i know how it works. I don't know why you think that the ranking reflects thae race because it doesn't.

Wow you have done some hard work. good luck on that.

You stop what you what you are doing this page is created so that they don't to need to go to their pages and how dare say i don't know how to write i have written many Tennis pages. Your ego is bigger than who you are. And really using the words i implore you you better go out of your house and start having a life. It was edited by many experience users and you just remove all of that. That page isn't my work alone it was a coollaborative work.

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing.

Note: being "right" is not a sufficient reason to edit war. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:32, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Just to add to that- if you continue the edit war, I will block you because the article is now on the Main Page. Thank you, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 02:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

The eral thing is that i didn't get upset over losing the eyar i got upset by the fact that you change the tournaments name for example the Mutua Madrileña Madrid Open you reverted to MAdrid Open if you can change it back to Mutua Madrileña Madrid Open they i'll be fine with it. --Dencod16 (talk) 23:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay then were good, We just the best for this tennis pages and immature for both of us to go along with this kind of thing for so long. I sincerely apologize. --Dencod16 (talk) 23:30, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Understood completely. Just write the tournaments name just to pay respect to the main sponsors of the torunament that year. --Dencod16 (talk) 23:36, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

I hope we don't get to this kind of stupid argument again let's just both meet in the middle i hope in the future. Looking forward for your help on tennis pages and on being editors of wikipedia. --Dencod16 (talk) 23:36, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Tretorn Series

Tretorn is the Official Ball of the Challenger Series Tour and the sponsor of the Tretorn SERIE+ consisting of the premier ATP Challenger Series tournaments – all with prize money of $100,000 or greater. The Tretorn SERIE+ thus unifies an elite series of tournaments across much of Europe, as well as Asia and North Africa. Much like the ATP Masters 1000 events has done with top-tier ATP tournaments, the SERIE+ will provide cohesive branding to each event. [1]. 2010 Israel Open has a $100,000 prize money.

Its just frustrating that they don't really have good editors, they have made so many errors on rankings they need to improve their site a lot.

I agree KnowlG, it can sometimes become confusing when an effective editing war is taking place. People are assuming the outcome of an event. I have requested the page is fully locked to prevent people from glancing into a cyrstal ball and just assuming the Queen will in fact ask him to form a government, she has every right to demand a new election to take place.

Speedy deletion nomination of 1999 Samsung Open - Singles

A tag has been placed on 1999 Samsung Open - Singles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. GiftigerWunsch [TALK] 10:00, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from 1999 Samsung Open - Singles, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. While I appreciate that you added content to the article and removed the grounds for the speedy deletion, please be aware that you should not remove speedy deletion templates yourself; to contest the speedy deletion of a page you have created you need to place {{hangon}} and explain your reasons in talk.

Knowl, if you believe this article should adopt a different structure please take it to the talk page to discuss it. If an admin catches you reverting on that article you'll be heading for a ban. The article is organised that way for a reason, but if you think it's not clear or there is a better way to structure it then please discuss it first before making unilateral changes.

Note: I have left the blocking adminstrator a note on his talk page asking that he unblock you both and protect the page instead.

Conditions for unblock

(this will also be posted on the other's talk page) I am willing to unblock both accounts on the following conditions:

1. TreasuryTag and KnowIG do not edit the Amy Pond article for a period of 48 hours, to start immediately after the unblocks.
2. TreasuryTag and KnowIG agree not to interact with each other for a period of 48 hours, to start immediately after the unblocks.

Any violations of these two terms will result in immediate reblocking for the remainder of the restriction or for 24 hours, whichever is longer.

I have changed the summary to not attack you so much but as to also state that the others have made fault before as well. Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 15:31, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

OK, I want to talk to you here. Can you tell me honestly why you have been making notorious edits? I can say they were disruptive. Have you been shown a bad example on the wiki? I want to work with you to help you get what you need so you can become welcome in the community and not having RfC's. I truly believe somewhere in your heart is a good KnowIG and that they are just in a shell. The other users that you were involved with are stressed by this situation and I want to help you fix it. Can you please tell me what is causing you to be this way. This is what RfC is about, fixing the issue. Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 18:24, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

OK I am going to responded here if that's alright, so we don't have to keep flicking pages. I am a lovely person, just we have a certain person 'stalking and attacking me' here. Most of the things you have seen have been either things which have been provoked, manufactured or twisted by the user doing the RFC (I take it you know who started the RFC, if not please indicate). Now in my response on the RFC I said something about the person filing it hating me just for my spelling and grammer, and reverting making it difficult for me. Now if I right shit, which doesn't belong on wikipedia, lies or in the wrong tense then fine, remove it I haven't a problem with it. But Most of the edit wars have been because of the person filing the RFC reverting my edits instead of editing my edit to correct the spelling or grammer error. For all that person knows I may be a foreigner or maybe suffering from special needs. Look at the archive of Andy Murray's talkpage and see how other users helped me with certain types of language etc, so with respect I don't think language or spelling etc would be something you need to get involved in. I point out that the person accusing me of things has started 3 seperate arguements, this is not 1 continous arguement, and has not in any way shape or form given me any advice to help me, instead he is determind to get rid of me. But spelling and grammer is not a reason to get someone banned or to revert whole edits for the sake of it like that user has been behaving and then jumping one someone when a response comes.

Other examples have been where I have written something being accused of owning the article, I was accused unfairly of this about the River Song page, when it was Ratemouth who was owning the page. I even wrote on his page and even that has been called rude(my defo of rude is swearing, being hostile for no reason and finally name calling etc) this was firm but a fair edit (to get a point across to someone who is/was clearly up thie arse, so much they couldn't even see the simple tense issue and kept reverting everything), but when the person who has so much hatred for me calls it that there's very little I can do. I try and take on board and incorporate other's edits if I disagree with something, I DO NOT revert whole pieces of text if one tries to improve it, I just edit the bit I want to change, which a certain person likes to try and make out I'm rude and are warring for doing so when he reverts all my edits if he has an issue.

You know, yes some of the comments I've written are not good, obviously one does regret them as you look back on it and look very stupid. But the cause of most of those comments and some of the wars (If I was a bit more Wiki/internet street wise) have been when I have been set up/wound up by a certain user (Of course it's a lot harder to see other peoples games here).

But at the end of the day it has been made to be a lot worse. For example this is not vandalism "random numbers" This is sourced info which adds to the article. OK it's not there now, but it's definatly not vandilism, for example there was a bit on the Murray page(not written by me I must add, and had been there for sometime) about him and Scottish colours, it's not there now, but it's not vandalism. You see the point of things being made out to be worse here, same with spelling, if someone can't spell/or makes a typo it's not their fault, and that is not a reason to target someone.

But however, there are a couple of things like the comments I've written in retaliation when wound up I should hold my hands up to. Yes I should not have removed a reference tag, but TBH I was narked off by Armbrust owning snooker articles and starting to what appeared to stalk me. But when I removed the notablity tag from the RAF ground that's not vandalism that is notable as I wrote why in edit summery, so I am not holding my hands up to that one, and I have no clue why someone is calling it vandalism.

As I conclude, most of the 'notourious' edits have either been provoked or have been made out to be a lot worse. But when and refer to my response on the RFC you see people writing things like that and writing/doing things which are rude and antanonistic towards me, what does one expect, when one maybe nieve in the sense of how to deal with it in a wiki mannor. In my nieve way give as good as you get and don't back down, since most of the 'issues' have been pointless and trivial. But if you and I can get to an agreement where I don't feel unfairly treated like you said earlier, then I am more than happy to see what we can do. KnowIG (talk) 21:25, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Addition to response: See here bit random in terms of stalking, I fixing some flags and next he shows up, you see why one gets rather narked off with him. But anyway the main point why I am using this example is no comment in the edit summery, i see this type of thing all the time including on some undo button presses when it's clearly not vandalism and had other users do that to me. So you can see where bad habits can easily be picked up, but singling someone out as you said is not cool. KnowIG (talk) 21:54, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Further comment you see what I mean that user will not accept when he is wrong and is trying to blame me 100%. That is wrong, so any deal has to have consequences for that user, cause I will not tolorate this consent harrasement by him. He was told to leave me alone as per an unblock, he didn't aproach me directly but continued to stalk me and then reppeared on my talk page trying to provoke something out of me, which I tried not to fuel, hence now this pethetic RFC, reasoning from him and now him appearing on your talk back page making me out to be worse than what I am as per his agenda, and harrasing you to do something against me. Thank you KnowIG (talk) 22:32, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

I definitely see what you are taking about. After you have been mentioning those things I see what you mean. I will ask the other users to please simply fix your grammar and spelling rather than revert it. Something here (location) says something about there being a threat. I see none or no real stalking. Back to my point. If I can work out with the others about reverting spelling/grammar would you be willing to be more open, like if they do get reverted you will leave a note saying something like, "Hey, I saw you reverted my edit (article name). If it was for spelling or grammar I ask that you help and take care of it since I am not good with that." Just something short and simple to get the point across. Rather than the nasty comments you have left on talk pages before. OK? If that is OK then I will talk to the others. As for the thing on my talk page, I DO NOT WANT YOU TO TALK TO THE USER WHO LEFT THAT COMMENT. Tell me what you think and I will relay the message how I feel is sweet and true. Thank you. Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 22:39, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Seriously that user on your page, I don't want anything to do with that person, but he keeps coming back at me trying to provoke or something, whatever the agenda is, I don't care and I don't want anything to do with him. I agree with everything else that you propose. Though I am concerned that it could (and it's just the one user that could go this way really) start a bit of a war if they revert for the sake of it when they know they should edit my edit, or I post the proposed message, and they do nothing so I revert to correct and the war stems from there then what do you do, what I'm trying to say is we have had no flexiblity on one side so far before the RFC, and sadly still no flexiblity from that party it seems, if you can work your magic Joe and get some flexablity/agreement then I'm 100% behind you. KnowIG (talk) 22:52, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

After I close the RfC and I talk to the other 2 users who started the RfC I am going to file an ANI about that user. It seems that they are harassing you more than you are harassing them. I am going to state that you do not want to have any contact with them and you don't want to have them contact you. Is that Okay? Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 23:02, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

that would be fine. Thank you. KnowIG (talk) 11:52, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

This was from my talkpage from TT, will you accept these terms, I feel they are not unreasonable, here they are, "Yes, I will try to get along with him. No, I will not turn a blind eye to his rampant disruption. No, I will not agree to hold off all contact with him. No, I will not agree to the RfC being closed without some definite resolution, preferably in the form of him agreeing not to revert valid edits (of everyone, not just of me). Happy? ╟─TreasuryTag►Speaker─╢ 12:48, 16 September 2010 (UTC) " Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 12:57, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry Joe I know he is putting lots of heat on you, and I'm about to add to it, no I do not accept that. As I have pointed out my edits are made to be worse than what they are and his reaction to all of this proves that he has an issue which has nothing to do with the edits. This is the big issue 'agreeing not to revert valid edits (of everyone, not just of me)' when you and I have determind that most of the time I haven't started the war (I haven't undone a valid edit, I've added to it and then he starts the war), and it's been him reverting my edit so therefore I am not going to accept as it allows TT to do what he normally does. I will only accept these conditions. 1)He leaves me alone and doesn't contact me, nor does he file reports on me or goes to other editors and ask them to do this for him, another editor must independently, with no sign posting from him, get involved. 2)If he sees an edit of mine he is not allowed to undo it and must go to the talk page and discuss the issue that he has, if he says i have an issue with your edit cause mine is a valid edit so therefore I revert it (which is basically saying I don't like your edit only mine will do) or there is no consenus then he can not touch the edit. KnowIG (talk) 13:08, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Can you agree to only have contact when necessary. I think no contact is not reasonable, I think when there is a question that is respectful or a statement about a good job or something. Is that Okay? I will ask about the valid edit thing. Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 13:16, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

What about these valid edits? [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] can you explain these valid edits?

Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 13:30, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Right just between you and me, I tell you about this then go and give TT a slap cause he is doing everything and anything to avoid punishment here. As you can see it's only examples when he has not been involved which he can drag up, tells you something about his reverting style, and possibley just a lack of understanding on his part. Anyway....

1. I've held my hands up to that
2. Narked off by Armbrust apparent stalking constant editing of things right after. But his a nice guy I've no beef with him
3. I've already explained that as a valid edit it is notable why does TT keep coming up with that one.
4. Overally long article trivial things which did not change the article, e.g. things about last year and the seeds of players who were not one or two therefore side tracks the article and needed trimming.
5. Lots of others had edited that one before but hey, it's ok TT can single me out for bullying can't he?
6. The Serena incident from 2009 USO is not on the page so why should that be, I've explained why in the edit
7.At that point in time and this is still a fault with the ATP they have a website for the WTF but have not written anywhere the qualification rules, if it is ambigousous like it was then of course one reverts
8. Tense issues,she still plays for GB right? She hasn't retired all others have it blank don't need no. And the rest of it was POV and rubbish which does not belong to an intro, and does not make her notable, the amount of titles and wins against top tenners do
9, 10 and 11 already explained.
So as you can see TT is being alkward, and believe you me anymore of this valid edit nonsense and I will push for a punishment on the ANI.

I'm not sure what you want me to do/say. I go through pages of the category, check them, revert when appropriate, clean up otherwise. What list do you want me to contribute too? Pichpich (talk) 18:09, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Andy Murray

Please, we are all heartily sick of trying to whip up "controversy" about Murray's nationality. There is no need to do this in the article.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 19:31, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

See the talk page. Instant reverts without discussion or consensus are likely to be seen as edit warring.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:52, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

AS I wrote in the revert leave it for reference. And I've told Britwatch to come up with proper reasons and proper solutions as at the moment his being obstructive and any reason he comes up with atm can be easily disproved. SO I say we leave it how I had it untill Brit comes up with something sensible. KnowIG (talk) 17:55, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I notice that you are currently involved in an edit war at Andy Murray. This is a friendly reminder that WP:3RR applies, and that you may be blocked from editing if you revert more than 3 times within 24 hours (and I note that you've already reverted 5 times in the last 24 hours), or for edit warring even if you haven't technically broken 3RR. Pfainuk talk 18:01, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I reverted at least once to stick references in, and 2 more times when I was creating a section as you say easy to get to 3RR KnowIG (talk) 18:05, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

What's going on

KnowIG (talk) 20:12, 3 October 2010 (UTC)Seriously WHy have I been blocked?

Your editing privileges have been suspended for 1 month

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Following a review of the ANI discussion noted above, and your non-admission of any issue regarding your behaviours and indeed the attempt to divert attention to perceived problems with the reporting editor, I have withdrawn your editing privileges for a month. My intention is to remove you from the project so to allow the normal editing process to re-establish itself. If you return to your disruptive behaviours once the sanction expires then it will be apparent that the source of the problem is you, and you may then be blocked indefintely - and if you attempt to sock around this block there will be the same result. If, however, you return and contribute appropriately to the concerned articles and elsewhere, then the project gets a good contributor. It is up to you to decide whether you want to take part in a collegiate and consensual editing environment. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:15, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I appologise for any rude outbust today it's totally unacceptable.

Decline reason:

Even in this situation, where you are strongly motivated to demonstrate that you can follow the civility rules, you are unable to converse with other editors without calling another editor a 'nutter.' I therefore don't have any confidence that, if unblocked, you would consistently talk civilly to other users. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:06, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Strictly speaking, that's not an unblock rationale. User:LessHeard vanU obviously had reason to execute this block. I won't decline your request but I would advise you to remove the request and post your concern as a talk page message. I will forward your message to whatever forum you request. Regards Tiderolls 20:22, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

OK removed the bit I think you want removed. Can you ask him to show how I'm disruptive, I do not swear apart from the user on here earlier and that was rather deserved as that was pointless, yet again it's my talkpage, so no one can complain really. All my other edits have been in good faith and constructive, so I repeat ask him to show why how I am disruptive KnowIG (talk) 20:29, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I've informed LHvU that you have concerns. It will his decision to come here or not. The reason I advised you to remove the unblock template is that misuse of the template can result in loss of editing your user talk. Not that I believe we're anywhere near that happening, but you approach nearer with every unblock template. Especially if they don't address the issue of the block. As as aside, I would also mention that this is not your page, technically. What happens here could affect the project as a whole so there are wider concerns. Again, just an observation. Tiderolls 20:36, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Noted but I think you can understand ones reaction there, one explains something and then gets it shoved back in their face, which was hardly helpful. Anyway thank you for your help KnowIG (talk) 20:40, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I do understand. I also believe that you are sincere. Sincerity alone is not sufficient, there also a requirement for compliance with policy. We all reach points where we feel we cannot, for lack of a better term, retreat. The trick is to avoid those "points". I think you already know this so I apologize if my post seems patronizing. Good luck Tiderolls 20:47, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Per the request forwarded to my talkpage - you are disruptive in that you have (or appear to have) no interest in addressing your own behaviours, and instead attempt to divert attention to the issues with others (not saying there were not issues, but they have been dealt with). The concerns with your behaviour are not, however, limited to the instances brought up at ANI but are of a historical nature - by which I refer to the RfC. Given that your behaviours are of a long standing concern (and not that of only one editor, either) and yet your response to them being raised is to indulge in diversionary tactics I believe that only an extended absence from the project is going to convince you to re-appraise your approach to the editing model. I hope this clarifies my rationale. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:49, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Excuse me but I fed up with people who refuse to sort things out and I'm being bullyied by TT but hey nobody gives a dam, he gets blocked 2 mins later his out doing it again, stalking me and bullying me, It's completely not fair and a month is definatly OTT when the USert TT causes most of the issues. An eye for an eye, so I think he should be blocked as well for a month or just let me go if your not prepared to be reasonable. Most of what he comes up with is what he manufacters and doesn't take in the whole context. His word is not suported properly, and he has an issue with me whuch no one has dekt with. KnowIG (talk) 20:57, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

And if you notice i don't cause trouble this bad image is when I've been provoked usually by TT and don't give me crap of me not looking at my self cause I'm being honest it's not my fault if you can't see it and want to let a nutter be an admin KnowIG (talk) 20:59, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

I have proved for 3 months that I can be rational and polite with others. When TT turns up and makes my life hell what do you expect me to talk him, God?

Decline reason:

Above, you call an admin a "nutter". This edit summary, which is a violation of WP:NPA. You're blocked for a very good reason - you have zero ability to separate reality from the internet, and feel it's ok to lash out rather than follow established WP:DR processes.

I don't give a dam but it's people like you who need to get out more, he is a complete and utter nightmare cluttering my talk page with rubbish for each scheme he comes up with. Now please stop twating about

Request reason:

It's excessive, inhumain, OTT. I have done nought in comparisant to others, if your reasonable I'll be reasonable to you. Simples. It takes 2 to tango folks

Decline reason:

By your repeated failure to accept the block and the statements you have made on this page since your block, I do not see that you understand the reason behind your block, which means you will not be unblocked. If you continue requesting unblock, your editing privileges to this page will be revoked. Once you actually address the issue that caused you to be blocked and refrain from acting in such a manner, you may be unblocked.

You are in danger of falling foul of multiple bad unblock requests which may result in you losing the ability to edit your talk page or an extension to your one month block.

Exactly. Well pardon me for trying to help, I will not bother next time. Amidst all the argy bargy and name calling I felt you had made some very useful additions to wikipedia over recent months. I am just concerned that your activities today were placing you in danger of a permanent ban. Please yourself, you just carry on doing what you are doing. Good luck. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 22:41, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

AW thanks guys i just don't want to b outcast for a month from someone bullying me , and yes this is anger tonight

If you're at all confused- you're expected to be nice. All the time, to everyone. Even when they aren't nice to you. You're blocked because you weren't being nice, a lot of the time, to a lot of people. You won't be unblocked unless someone is totally convinced that you know how to be nice, all the time, to everyone, and that you will. Right now, no one is convinced of that, and nothing you're saying helps anyone believe it. Your choices are (a) make a really believable case that you have learned how to be nice (this is the really difficult one), (b) keep asking for unblocks without making such a case, and get your talk page disabled, or (c) just log off, wait out your block, and then come back in a month and try to do better. I've seen people in your situation make all three of those choices... which one you choose is totally up to you. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:03, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

only cause you don't listen or take anythimg into context. Yor mentality is oh block what for oh right never letting him out. I saw TT say sorry and got let out I say sorry and you refuse double standards. THIS IS WHY WIKI IS PATHETIC

Yes, thanks- that is a good example of the reason for your block. I think the best thing for me to do is simply not respond on this talk page any more, and let you have time to reflect. It's clear there's nothing I can say that will be helpful to you right now, and the information you need will still be here when you're ready for it. Have a good evening, or whatever you're having in your time zone. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:14, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Stop playing the victim: it took 2 to tango, and the other had already been blocked. Also, understand the difference between WP:BLOCK and WP:BAN. If you had took 2 seconds to read WP:GAB and accept that your actions were inappropriate, you would have been unblocked long before now. Unfortunately, we'll see you in a month instead. Also realize, this block applies to you and not just your userid: if you create another id, or attempt to edit anonymously, you will be blocked indefinitely for WP:EVADE. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 15:24, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I took responsablity its not my fault your blind check the first appeal. Then tell me how I have not taken responablity. I expect nothing but a load of crap of you though

I'm not an admin, but I have witnessed a great number of block/unblock situations. Generic "I'm sorrys" aren't likely to be convincing, and practically every response you've given on your talk page since that first appeal shows that you weren't looking to change your behavior, but only say what you thought you should to be unblocked. --Onorem♠Dil 15:50, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

I see that everytime of everyone else and what do they do revert to type. How am I any different. I'm not just that this lot are scared

Look ... I only have your best interests at heart and I am trying once more to help here, so read this carefully and understand it. If you hadn't realised it yet, this one month block is going to stay and you must accept that. If it were me I would avoid even looking at wikipedia for the next 30 days because it will only upset you even further - and the more upset you get the more you will make rash comments and the chances of you being permanently excluded will increase. Find something else to do until your block expires then come back quietly and edit in your chosen field of interest. Don't worry about the articles, they will still be there in a month and you can correct them then in your own time.

The alternative is to carry on doing what you are doing, but I hope you will see the sense in my suggestion for the long term. Fisherqueen said some very sensible things above (and like me was trying to help you) but instead of taking them onboard you bit her offered hand of friendship in anger. She is one of the most sensible admins on wiki and always talks sense. Please realise that not everybody is 'out to get you'. My best advice to you is to step away from the computer and take a break and I hope you can realise that it is for the best. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 16:10, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

But the thing is I DO edit quietly. TT who I have asked to stay away from me and frankly refuses, sits there bullies gets blocked goes oh sorry won't do it again and carries on. I have nothing to do with me and he sits and stalks me and NOT ONE user has gone hang on a minute this is unfair lets slap him down as I have edited quietly until he appears. Ifd he is an admin can we strip him of it as his a terrible example

You've been told to stay away so leave me alone TT cause your gonna regret it

I hope it's not quite to the point where a 30 day block is guaranteed at this point. I do believe though that 30 days would be a short block if you continue to react to the situation as you have from the start. I'm not always a fan of the way that TT handles himself at times either, but their actions don't justify your actions. If you have a problem with TT, dispute resolution is this way. Your actions were blockworthy. Stop trying to blame someone else or justify them because of what someone else did. They were your own actions. There are avenues to discuss someone else's behavior that don't have to lead to getting yourself blocked. --Onorem♠Dil 16:21, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

As Treasury Tag said (before you deleted him) no he is not an admin, nor is he likely to be one (and I am pretty certain he would not wish to be one anyway). But I see I was wasting my breath - you didn't walk away from the computer and are still knee-jerking in anger ... you are not able to put this down are you? It will be painful watching you self destruct as an editor unless you eventually see the light. Good luck 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 16:29, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

He deserves to be blocked permanatly. And no I'm not going to lie down and say OK. In the real world would you walk away from an unjust verdict and say OK. Answer no, why should the tinternet be any different. And think about it be for trying to be a wise guy...

I'm not asking you to walk away, but the "verdict" wasn't unjust. You are blocked because of what you did. Why you did it is a completely different matter, and had you handled it differently, the outcome wouldn't have necessarily been the same. I'm done here anyway. You don't want to listen to the people trying to help you. Best of luck in not losing your talk page privileges or increasing your block length from here out... --Onorem♠Dil 16:41, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Tennis

Hi mate, Great work on the tennis articles, a much neglected area on wikipedia. Just one request - could you possibly construct the tables on articles such as 1987 Nabisco Grand Prix so that they have the same sort of information as the 2010 ATP World Tour article, i.e. links to the singles and doubles draws as well as the tournament. Please respond if this is ok with you. Thanks. 03md 03:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Please can you respond. It would be useful if you could apply the new formats to articles such as 1994 ATP Tour that I see you were working on. 03md 21:04, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't mean to be rude nor be funny here, but I have a very busy week and was in a bit of a hole. So I needed a little bit of time to sort myself out and see where I was before I said yes or no, and that's why I didn't want to responed on Sunday, since the things giving me grief couldn't be sorted until now. My answer is yes I can and will sort out all the ATP pages, give me a couple of months. Plan of action at the mo. Tuesday tournament names for ATP and WTA 1994, and ATP and WTA 1995. Thurs finish 87 tournment table and fill in all gaps which I've left so far. And I need to go back to the Heineken Open as if you haven't noticed that's a state and a half most of the tournaments have the wrong sponsered name and now I've redirected about 6 to the wrong page as the generic name is Auckland Open not NZ!!! As I say I will do it but slowly as I have a couple of other things to do with deadlines, which I am well placed on but need to purge and are rather time consuming. I will also try and rope another couple of editiors in to fill out the draw sheets/do tournment pages for those that do not exist to try and get rid of the red links ASAP KnowIG (talk) 00:22, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry mate, I wasn't meaning to be rude either. I just often make proposals and ask for help and get no feedback, so cheers for responding. I am happy to help out with filling in the redlinks. Did you want me to do specific years? 03md 00:31, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Start whether you feel like. KnowIG (talk) 19:26, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I have almost finished 1983 Virginia Slims World Championship Series - I've just created a table like the one on modern articles listing tournament victories by country and player. How does the article look so far? 03md 20:28, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Two end of season doubles comps. Confused.com. But oh well if that's what it was lol. Don't forget to put Fed Cup in which took place in July and are you going to put the Whiteman cup or whatever it's called in. Finally can you put the begining and end of year top 20 in. If the WTA rankings don't go back that far don't worry. KnowIG (talk) 10:11, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

I've realised that the Bridgestone tournament was a regular event (despite its name) so I will correct the stats. 03md 15:48, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

For the Fed Cup, there were 16 first round ties in 1983 (no groupings at this time) so should I include them all in the table? 03md 17:07, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Wasn't the Fed Cup played in one location over one week? So surely it would make sense to put it down like a normal comp, instead of listing each tie KnowIG (talk) 17:14, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Revisions to Grand Prix Tournaments

Hello I have noticed that references to Grand Prix tournaments (ATP seasons) are being removed by you on tournaments prior to 1990 almost all tournaments today are an evolution of events that existed either on the Grand Prix or WCT Tours, a template for reference to pre-ATP tour seasons exist and should be placed for historical context and accuracy as the Grand Prix seasons are being developed. Please don't remove them.. --Wales63 (talk) 11:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

No they shouldn't be there at all. You a have tournament box allowing people to jump from one tournament to another. You also on the year page have a link to a box of the tour for that year. The list of all seasons since 1970 season box should only go on the yearly page of the ATP/Grand Prix tours, that is the only place where that box should be used. KnowIG (talk) 11:23, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

OK I understand that now. So references to them being Championship Series Events are being placed there now, is because the different tier level events that existed on the previous tours have yet to be developed? --Wales63 (talk) 11:32, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe calling other editors "pathetic" as you did here is in any way helpful. While the remainder of your comment may be valid, that is not.

Rubbish

We should come to a consensus on the standards of match reviews. You cut these articles quite short compared to the same round robin descriptions of last year.

“ In the first singles match, 2008 semifinalist Murray fought del Potro. Murray went up 5-0 over Del Potro, who took a medical timeout at 3-0, for a nosebleed. Del Potro went down 15-40, but eventually saved two set points and won the game. At 5-1, on the second break point Del Potro challenged Murray's apparent ace and won the break. Both players then held, giving Murray the first set 6-3. In the second set, Del Potro looked rejuvenated taking the first 3 games even breaking at love in the second game. Murray broke in the 5th game to bring it back to serve. The Argentine broke again and held to lead 5-2. Both players held, requiring a third set. The decider saw a change of roles as Murray broke in the second game at his second chance to lead 3-0. The servers held the next four games to 5-2. At 5-2 Del Potro went down 15-30, and then double-faulted, giving Murray 2 match points. Murray converted the second. ”

In the one paragraph excerpt we come across everything : nosebleed, ace, first challenge (which I also found useless but won't remove just because I think it so) even love games. There's no such guideline restricting the length of match details. In its current form those 4-liners don't say nothing. No turning points, no chances for the players to win game/set/match just the score and some trivia (30th win for Federer(?)... If Roddick reaches his 10th (he stands at 9), shall we include that one as well? Does it really count or make any difference?). Please consider not removing the half content but rewriting instead. I will also open a section for such discussion at the talk page of the article too. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 09:53, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Chris Evert stats

Hi mate, The Chris Evert career statistics article is incomplete and I having trouble determining how many titles Evert won in doubles. Our page says 32, the WTA says 18 but lists only 8, while ITF lists 17. 03md 23:02, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Trouble is the WTA only go back to 85 from the looks of it. I have had a look at a fan site and used the WTA info and I have her down for 29 (including her 3 GS wins)(which is what the fans had her for), just going to look to see how accuate the site is, by cross referencing.

ASB Classic

Hi, I don't see the point once the tournament has started, plus, too many sources kinda ruin readability. Put them back then, sorry about that. Have a nice day.

SA Open

Hi mate, Can you shed some light on the situation of the SA Tennis Open. The [French article] shows an ATP and WTA tournament being held but it seems the two were separate. However they both seem to have the same title. Our article currently lists only the reboot of the tournament in 2009 and 2010. I was about to create 1984 Triumph International but was stumped by this point. I'm not sure if the WTA tournament in 1984 was a continuation from 1977 and if the ATP and WTA were the same tournament or separate. Thanks. 03md 01:44, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Good news the French site has mucked up a load of things, including this tournament. I would say they are separate since the Women's tournament was in April whilst the men's was in November. :) KnowIG (talk) 20:18, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

I have already created an article for 1984 South African Open (tennis) which includes both the men's and women's details. I'm not sure of an appropriate name if they were seperate tournaments. I realised that User:Totalinarian had moved the pre-2009 event details to a separate article South African Open (tennis) and this shows the men's and women's results. 03md 01:49, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Tennis articles

Hey, could you please use the right format for the tournaments? Thanks for creating those but it is not right. The doubles articles are not split in 2 halfs, it´s one 16bracket, add the proper categories please. Just check the already finished tournaments of how it should look and you are alright. Kante4 (talk) 01:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC) A) says who. B) my catagorisation was correct. C) I think you find that many article support the 2 8 brackets and a final thing. KnowIG (talk) 01:19, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

There was nothing aggressive. Ok, 1) No links to the draw 2) No categorization of the 2011 atp world tour/wta tour 3) In the doubles contests only 4 "teams" are seeded 4) 16team brackets for the doubles, except for the grand slams. I don´t want to pick on you, just trying to help. Kante4 (talk) 01:58, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Well no offence but it was coming across that way. Anyways I didn't create the page, I just did something with it so don't accuse me of not having links to the draws, because there was no links when I did something with it. Thank you. KnowIG (talk) 02:01, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah the links are the same from the Singles draw, just change the mds to mdd and you have it, pretty easy. ;) I will also point that out to the other creators so that we are all on the same level. Kante4 (talk) 02:08, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Tennis

Because they are not really wildcards, they are direct-ins as they are the first two in qualifying draw as no wildcards were awarded they receive a direct entry if you look at the draw they are not labeled as WC. And if you read the full article you will read this

"Ranked No. 30 and No. 31 respectively, they gained direct acceptance into the draw after no WTA Top 20 wildcards were requested and will join Caroline Wozniacki, Vera Zvonareva, Kim Clijsters andSamantha Stosur in the event."

I was hoping they could document the players who have competed for each country in the Hopman Cup and the country's performance.

Regarding Australian Open Boy's/Girl's Singles/Doubles Player Links

To answer your question, it was me that linked all the players. Surely there was a reason for my actions. Why? Well I would have went with your way of not linking the players as the red color does seem annoying to look at. However, last time I checked, the previous years of this tournament and even the other grand slam tournaments had players linked whether they had a page or not. Also, in the event that someone does create a page for a player, it won't be a much of a hassle to go back and add in the links for every tournament that player had participated in.

Since you've already reverted most of my edits, I won't waste my time on it as I don't oversee what goes on here and I'm still just a rookie for that matter. However, you should really look at the whole picture and have some common sense when it comes to these situations. Take care and happy editing! Scott523 (talk) 08:31, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

hello,

I think the notability guideline is way too strict...

Inherent notability in being Youth Olympic gold medalist, a good idea?

KnowlG, where you seem to have particular interests in both the Olympics and tennis, do you think we shouldn't pursue changing WP:NTENNIS to include the youth olympic gold medalist? The 2010 edition looks to have brought out most if not all of the best juniors. I would not, personally, wish to include the silver and bronze medalists, so long as we only have the ITF junior combined rankings top three passing NTENNIS, and not the top five - we may need to expand the junior notability to be the ITF top ten, given the prominence youth sportspeople do get, the media coverage, and as nearly all do go on to pass NTENNIS eventually anyway Mayumashu (talk) 21:18, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

The reason why all the big hitters were there for the youth Olympics is because it was a category A event. The Grand Slams and 4 other tournaments are rated as category A. Now since we have GS winners listed, and you propose to expand the list to include Olympic champs. I propose that we include the winners of the Orange bowl(under 18 category only as I realise there are lots of different age categories for this tournament) and the Petits As. These outside of the Slams are the 2 most prestious tournaments. The Orange bowl is described as the world championships for junior tennis. Although I am a bit sceptical about the Petit As...But still thats my view and that don't really come into this. As for the rankings if we include the 2 tournaments mentioned then review it we may find that we have covered the bulk of people in the top ten and don't need to change the rankings, that would be the best course of action I think for now. KnowIG (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

I d throw in support (then) for making all the ITF Grade A junior champions notable, or just the Orange Bowl (or just it and the Petits As), whichever the majority would go with. As it stands now the WP:NTENNIS as it addresses world junior tennis is quite inadequate, isn t it. I noticed another user a few entries up your talk page lamenting this same matter and have contacted him too. Personally, I was quite involved in getting WP:NTENNIS up and running and won t for the meantime anyway become active in starting up revamping it - maybe by summer if nothing has changed I will start an entry on this on the policy's talk page.

McCaw Review

Hi KnowlG. I have made an attempt to address all the concerns about the Richie McCaw article you brought up at the GA review. Your suggestions were spot on and I have trimmed a lot of the excess information and implemented many of the changes you suggested. As an aside, I feel you might find it easier to address general concerns about content and style in the beginning instead of bringing it up on each occurrence. For example, if you mention at the start that the correct names for the countries were not being used or that there was too much off-topic information I could have gone through the article first and attempted to fix these concerns, which would have hopefully made the review easier for you. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to review this article and I will try my best to fix any more problems you identify. Regards AIRcorn (talk) 03:39, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
