Talk:Kaia Kanepi

Did she really participate at the 2000 Olympics?
Though it's apparent that she turned pro in 2000, it's hard to believe that she'd have participated at the 2000 Olympics (at the age of 15), so I checked the facts and tried to find some justification why would there be the Category:Tennis players at the 2000 Summer Olympics included in the article. The only source that confirms this fact is the player's profile at the SonyEricsson WTA Tour website. As to Wikipedia as a source, she's mentioned neither in the article Estonia at the 2000 Summer Olympics nor in the articles about that year's women singles or doubles. The one source that I'd like to trust is her official homepage which lists all detailed results since 1998. With regard to year 2004 there is one match from the Olympics, but no olympic results from the year 2000. Therefore, I remove the category. --Jūzeris (talk) 09:47, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I'm from Estonia and I can confirm that her last name is pronounced KAnepi, not KaNEpi, so I think this need to be corrected.--212.7.31.176 (talk) 17:19, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you also confirm that 'Kanep' is Estonian for cannabis, as the Kanepi article claims? (And apparently Kaia is Greek for 'pure'...) Qwfp (talk) 14:11, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, "kanep" means cannabis, but Kanepi is nothing (family name and a place in Estonia). It doesn't matter what "Kaia" means, because it's a name in Estonia. What's your point? Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:06, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Mainly wondering whether that claim in the Kanepi article was correct, which you say it is, but if it's nothing to do with the origin of the place name perhaps it should be removed? I'll leave the decision to someone who knows Estonia/n. Qwfp (talk) 17:04, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Birth place
WTA is considered a reliable source, and they state this person was born in Estonia. I've updated the info box accordingly. --Nug (talk) 11:04, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
