Speedy deletion nomination of File:2015 Valspar Championship - Final Round.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:2015 Valspar Championship - Final Round.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the Non-free fair use tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Mosmof (talk) 21:47, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

April 2015
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with File:2015 Valspar Championship - Final Round.jpg.

This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

Regarding Stephan Jäger
Hi, Brandonlw97, and thanks for all your contributions. I thought I should clarify the reason I've changed occurrences of this golfer's name to Jäger. This is a German name which contains an umlaut. When the umlaut diacritic is unavailable, the standard practice is to replace it with an e (that is, replace ä with ae, ö with oe, and ü with ue); this is why the PGA Tour website spells his name Jaeger. However, when diacritics are easily available, his name should be spelled Jäger. pʰeːnuːmuː →‎  pʰiːnyːmyː  → ‎ ɸinimi  → ‎ fiɲimi  15:13, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

June 2017
Your recent editing history at 2017 U.S. Open (golf) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   22:30, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

Match Play
I saw your smart @ss remark. I made an honest mistake on the name. How about giving someone the benefit of the doubt and use some self control. I have over 14,000 edits in five years, and none of them have been deliberate to spell a name wrong. I gave you a compliment the other day, and you didn't bother to thank me, but I make one little mistake on a name, and you feel the need to be cheeky about it. If editing in Wikipedia is too hard for you, you should stop doing it. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 08:35, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I saw the message. First, you said something on the Match Play editing that was uncalled for, in which you couldn't bother to see if it may have been unintentional, you assumed it was on purpose and made a dumb remark. Then you say it's my own fault. My fault? I'm not the one who assumed and made the remark. Second, in reference to the nationalities graph, you say you try to make a page look as nice as you can. That's a laugh, all you did was copy the idea I originated years ago, and do a copy and paste of it, with updates thrown in, that's it. All you did was beat me to it this week, the thing I would have eventually done anyway. At least I wait until the field is set before putting it in there, so editors don't have to keep tediously going in and changing it for updates. .. It wouldn't have killed you to thank me for that compliment last week for pasting my graph, simple human decency, something that happens on Wikipedia on a regular basis. But hey, I know 20 year olds today and how they don't appreciate anything. So, I don't take it personally. But to suggest that it's the other person's fault for something you started, that's ridiculous. ... Next time you want to duplicate my graph, how about waiting until the field is set before putting it in there, so editors don't have unnecessary work to do.

About the bottom row thing, I simply wasn't thinking straight. I meant to put the names side by side, not top and bottom. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 22:20, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2017 European Tour Qualifying School graduates, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Marcel Schneider ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/2017_European_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/2017_European_Tour_Qualifying_School_graduates?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

1996 Open
Thanks for tidying up the Brian Barnes (golfer) table. I've changed the T59 back to T60, as per https://www.theopen.com/Heritage/PreviousOpens#!/1996/Royal-Lytham-&-St-Annes. The European Tour is wrong I think: http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=1996/tournamentid=1996025/index.html has 5 golfers on T22 and then the next group on T26. Seems to be a problem accounting for Tiger who was an amateur. http://golfmajorchampionships.com/year?year=1996&tournament=3 has the same problem. Nigej (talk) 07:09, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

Question
I was wondering if you would like, and have time, to do the nationalities of the countries on my subpages? I currently can't do it because my computer is not loading the leaderboards anymore, so, the nationalities lists that I usually do each week for the PGA Tour and European Tour on my subpages is now something I can't do. If you think you'd like to do it, let me know. Thanks. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 11:08, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Why is there space in the runner-up column after two names? Just curious and trying to understand. Klaysaurus (talk) 23:45, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Cabrera
Hi, I've reverted your change to the Masters field because it seems very unlikely he'll be there. The cited source (official pdf list) has him not playing, so it seems like an error on the website. Also, a couple of days ago he was still in a Brazilian jail awaiting extradition to Argentina, and when he gets there it seems he won't be released before any trial begins. wjematherplease leave a message... 22:20, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

PGA Championship
Per this source, the players you added have entered. This does not mean they will ultimately be invited under cat. 11, although many probably will. Several of these players currently sit outside the top-100 in the OWGR (e.g. Valimaki, Noren, Fowler, Lewis, An, Janewattananond, Scrivener), which is the expected/usual cut-off point for these invites, so at this point we can expect that some will not be there. Please do not re-add without a source that explicitly states they have been invited under this category (in which case, also add the cite). Thanks. wjematherplease leave a message... 15:07, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Berger, Dahmen and Streb have since been taken off the field list because they aren't officially entered. Brandonlw97 (talk) 15:37, 19 April 2021 (UTC)


 * I've re-added them since the list details all players qualified under each category regardless of whether they are entered/playing, and added a note to that effect. wjematherplease leave a message... 16:12, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. A page you created or have recently made significant changes to, LCS Motorsports, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for pages, so it has been blanked and redirected.

The page's history is preserved and it is possible to restore the article: If you believe that this page should remain included on Wikipedia or that this action was taken in error, then you may revert the edit that blanked and redirected the page.Your first article has more information about creating articles, and you may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing.
