Welcome
Hi, I'm. I'd like to personally welcome you and thank you for your contributions thus far. As you probably know, Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia collaboratively written entirely by volunteers. If you ever see anything that can be improved—be it correcting a typo or writing a new article—feel free to fix it yourself! Don't worry about making mistakes; one of the many editors will probably notice and quickly correct it. If you have any questions, just place the text  on your talk page, and an administrator will help you shortly. Alternatively, you could join the #wikipedia-en-help IRC channel, where dozens of friendly helpers await. You can find out more about the project here, but I won't bore you with statistics and rules. Just remember to be civil to other editors, to always cite your sources, and to write articles from a neutral point of view, and you should be good to go.

Wikipedia is a huge website; with nearly 3 million articles, it is the single biggest encyclopedia in the world. Additionally, there are thousands of policy and process pages, so it can be a bit overwhelming, even to experienced users. When I was new, I found the Tutorial particularly helpful. You might also want to check out the glossary. The Reference Desk serves as our library reference desk, where you can ask nearly any question imaginable.

The Featured Articles and Good Article pages are good places to look for some of our most well-written and comprehensive articles. On the other end of the spectrum, we have thousands of articles that require cleanup of some sort, so feel free to help out.

I hope you've found this advice helpful. Feel free to contact me for more information. – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 22:57, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Top foo male golfer navboxes
Hi, I have nominated these navboxes for deletion since they do not add anything to the articles, which are often already cluttered with navboxes. Please see discussion at Templates for discussion/Log/2010 August 5. Regards, wjemather bigissue 19:12, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Capitalisaton of article titles
Per WP:CAPS, the ET QS articles you are creating should be titled "YYYY European Tour Qualifying School graduates" not "YYYY European Tour Qualifying School Graduates". I have moved the ones you have created so far, but if you could please follow the guidelines for future articles, that would be great. Thanks, wjemather bigissue 17:31, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks - I noticed the 2007 one was in the wrong place earlier today, but I'm no good at moving articles, else I'd have done it myself! I'll make sure they're in the right place when I get round to doing some more. EJBH (talk) 17:39, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Cool. wjemather bigissue 20:38, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Date formatting
Please stop changing date formats in golfer (or other) articles. Per WP:DATESNO, date formatting should be consistent throught the article. Tewapack (talk) 22:25, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; I wasn't trying to disrupt anything - in fact the opposite, I was hoping to make the infobox dates consistent across all golf articles. But that does fall foul of the rules, whichever way round you do it, I guess. No worries. EJBH (talk) 22:31, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Mark Wilson
Why did you remove his major championship results for 2010? He didn't play in any of them, but they still go in the charts. Just like they did with ALL the other years he didn't play in one of them?- William 18:13, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

As I remember (it was too long ago to be certain!) it was just a stylistic thing. His last major championship was in 2009, so really the chart should end in that year. If you wanted to keep putting empty years in after his final major, you could end up with the situtation where old timers like, say, Doug Sanders have reams of pointless "DNP"s long after they've stopped playing. Obviously I realise that this is different in that Wilson is a current golfer, and is qualified for the first major of this season already, but I'd imagine the protocol is not to add the 2010 DNPs until he's actually competed this year, on the basis that plenty of players have pulled out of majors before teeing off before. Not that I'm too bothered, mind - it's only a minor detail, and I'm happy to leave it up as is if that's what you want. Hopefully he'll tee it up at Augusta in a couple of months and it'll become irrelevant anyway! EJBH (talk) 20:30, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Nicolas Meitinger


The article Nicolas Meitinger has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. — Mike  Allen   03:50, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

George McNeill playoff box
You didn't tell the whole story of either playoff. When in a multi player playoff a golfer is eliminated early, that result is put in all participant's playoff boxes. For instance the 1987 Masters it would say. Mize won with birdie on second extra hole Ballesteros eliminated with par on first hole with a br tag in between. The score that the low score that is registered to win the hole is emphasized, not the score made by the player who was eliminated in the playoff. Also only the score that wins the playoff is mentioned. Like the 1999 Tour Championship. Weir won with birdie on first extra hole. Keep it simple or this can take place.

I've made or edited most of the Playoff boxes for PGA and LPGA Tour golfers. This is the format me and editor Tewapack have agreed on....William 12:25, 24 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for this; I knew the basic format, just couldn't remember if third parties were mentioned (i.e. neither article subject nor winner). It's been a while since I last did some of those.

I see it's all kicked off on his article again since! EJBH (talk) 23:23, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

European Tour playoff boxes
Where do you come up with the information for ones like you did for Seve Ballesteros? I'd like to do playoff boxes but don't have the records. Is it available online?...William 22:39, 19 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I've been out of the country for a few weeks and have only just seen this. I can't confess to having any magic secret to making the playoff boxes. For more recent tournaments (about mid-to-late 1990s onwards), the info can usually be found on the European Tour website, by finding the tournament page for the relevant year and clicking the "News" tab - for example, this story gives all the information needed on the playoff for the 1995 European Open. If the tournament is so far back in history that the ET website doesn't have any information - as is the case for most of the Ballesteros playoffs - I just have a hunt around on Google News. Usually if I search for the name of the tournament, plus the name of the player(s) in the playoff, and then limit the search parameters to a single calendar year, I can find a news story telling me what happened in the playoff. For example, in the 1986 Lancome playoff which Ballesteros and Langer shared, I searched the Google News Archives for "Ballesteros Lancome", set a custom range of 1/1/1986 to 31/12/1986, and found this story containing all the information required. It's not the fastest way of finding information, but it's the best I've come up with so far! EJBH (talk) 22:23, 1 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you for replying. I've done many PGA, LPGA, and Champions Tour playoff boxes. I've had access to media guide books plus golfobserver.com and Google which made the task not too difficult even for someone like 88 time LPGA winner Kathy Whitworth who was a record 8-20 in playoffs. It would be great to get the European Tour playoff records up for Nick Faldo, Sam Torrance, Mark James, and others but will be challenging for the reasons you mention above. A media guide book would tell me where to look. Without it, I have to check tournament by tournament at the European Tour website(whose records of the early years of the tour are incomplete. Look at some of the 1972 tournament results to see what I mean) to see if a Faldo 2nd place finish came in a playoff or not, then google news archive search to find out the details of the playoff. I just recently finished the project of getting win and playoff boxes into the player articles for everyone on this list. For players with wins or playoffs prior to 1990, more work was required because Golfobserver.com doesn't have the records but I made it. The European Tour would be a challenge but I'd learn some golf history at the same time.[[User:WilliamJE|...William 13:06, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
