Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2007 Roger Federer tennis season, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Grand Slam. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please read MOS:OVERLINK, common terms aren't linked FMSky (talk) 13:42, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in Dominic Thiem. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. Larry Hockett (Talk) 14:07, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you make disruptive edits to Wikipedia contrary to the Manual of Style. Larry Hockett (Talk) 14:09, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

Can you stop please?

Hello, I'm Ken Tony. I noticed that you recently removed content from 2021 Wimbledon Championships – Men's Singles without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page.

2008 US Open – Men's Singles
Please do not change the terms Grand Slam tournament and major from one to the other as you did at e.g. 2008 US Open – Men's Singles. Both terms are valid and there is therefore no need (beyond personal preference) for changing them from one to the other. That just leads to unnecessary edit warring and does nothing to improve the article.--Wolbo (talk) 23:52, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Doubling up and repeating the same thing in tennis articles
There is no need to double up on the wording in tennis tournaments as you did at 1979 Australian Open – Men's Singles. There is absolutely no good reason to say "Defending champion X successfully defended his title, defeating Y in the final". All we need is short and to the point "Defending champion X defeated Y in the final." It conveys the information without saying the same obvious thing twice. Thanks.

Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Bonoahx (talk) 22:17, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Italian open double reverting
Hi, i see you double reverted my addition saying Djokovic won his first title in 2022 in Rome. Both times without any edit summary.

That mention is well placed because it goes alongside those about Rome 2022 being its 87th titles and its 38th Masters won, which is talking about Djokovic's updated stats. Plus my remark is not just a number like 87th or 38th, but it is relevant since this year Djokovic was precluded from playing big tournaments and thus his first title has come this late, which makes it relevant from an historical point of view because of the aforementioned atypical circumstances. --Opencross (talk) 16:35, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Changing Wimbledon format
Please don't mass change Wimbledon winners from ladies' champion to women's champion. That is the format used by the authorities throughout its history. Please don't change things retroactively. We also use gentlemen's champion for Wimbledon. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:03, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Björn Borg
Stop removing the Swedes link, you have been reverted twice doing it now so it is up to you to gain consensus for its removal, or you could simply leave it alone instead of continuing to remove it without explanation. Either way, stop edit warring. TylerBurden (talk) 04:53, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Please stop confusing tennis disciplines
There are multiple tennis disciplines. Men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, mixed doubles, men's and women's wheelchair singles and doubles, men's and women's quad wheelchair singles and doubles, etc.... Please don't omit the word wheelchair or quad since it can confuse readers into thinking all these disciplines are the same. They are not. They are each unique. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:34, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * And adding "able-bodied" to every non wheelchair player really doesn't help the issue. Fyunck(click) (talk) 04:05, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

July 2022
Hi ComeradeAlex! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at 2018 Rolex Paris Masters – Singles that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Wolbo (talk) 22:46, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

September 2022
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to 2022 US Open – Women's singles, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Incorrect grammar at tennis article
An edit summary was left telling you of the incorrect grammar you inserted into 2024 Mutua Madrid Open – Women's singles, yet you continue to re-add it. I'll explain it again. Leaving out the word "the" is the perfectly standard way of writing "Iga Świątek defeated defending champion Aryna Sabalenka in the final, 7–5, 4–6, 7–6(9–7), to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2024 Madrid Open." The phrase "defending champion" is an adjectival phrase modifying the direct object of the sentence which is Aryna Sabalenka. To do it your way, which is possible, then Aryna Sabalenka would need to be set apart by commas and it would need to be written as "Iga Świątek defeated the defending champion, Aryna Sabalenka, in the final, 7–5, 4–6, 7–6(9–7), to win the women's singles tennis title at the 2024 Madrid Open." Written this second way the direct object of the sentence is "the champion", "defending" is an adjective, and the name Aryna Sabalenka provides additional identification that would get set apart by parentheses or commas.

It's one way or the other. The simplest way is to remove "the." Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:16, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
