Looks good to me, why don't you shift it over?Lisiate 23:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nothing wrong with it per se, but the two-paragraph description of his US Open win is a lot longer than most other golfers are getting for their majors wins. Compare for instance to Phil Mickelson's win last year at the Masters, which was an incredible Sunday back nine duel with Ernie Els culminating in a winning birdie putt. That isn't described at all, except to say that it gave him his first major. Wasted Time R 00:10, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * About the copyright violation, this could be somewhat interesting. I saw that they even used the expression "Fact File" from the original website.  But other than that, how can someone own copyrights over someone else's biographic stats?  Notice that, even in the original website, there's no elaboration.  There we see Campbell's birthdate, birthplace, etc. and things such as "hobbies", which I assume is something Campbell himself must have declared in interviews.  The website cannot own copyrights over that information, not when it's in that format (Birthplace: New Zealand, e.g.).  There's no intelectual construction.  If someone owns that, it would be Campbell himself.  Nor can I see them owning any copyrights on a list with entries such as "Birthplace", "Birthdate" and "Hobbies".  So, if we were to perform small changes in the organization of the content (which would be about filtering what's encyclopedic in it), I cannot see how we couldn't use this.  Am I off on this one?

Money earned
I'm surprised to see no item for money earned in the infobox. They have this for tennis players, so why not golfers? Or is it just omitted for Campbell for some reason? Trb333 (talk) 18:40, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
