How to alert other editors
When someone is posting on your talk page you get an automatic notification. That notification is a red square followed by a long yellow box (for most browsers and settings). In all other cases you have to alert the other editor in some way, either by "ping" or by mentioning them in a link. This will result in a just the red box notification on that users pages. So even if you respond on your talk page you still have to alert the editor you are addressing. If you want to get hold of me you write resulting in  or W.carter resulting in W.carter and sign with the four "squiggles" ~ at the end and hit "Save". There are some more, but these are the basics. And when you ask something on someone's talk page, you also create a new section so your question don't get entangled in some other conversation. If you are having a conversation with another user on some page, it is also customary to add that page to your Watchlist in case someone in the discussion forgets to alert.

The policy is to leave an answer on the same page as the question, keep the conversation intact unless there is some reason for moving it elsewhere. Like complicated questions at the Teahouse can be continued on the appropriate talk page. Best, w.carter -Talk  18:14, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Toni Nadal, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Grand Slam and Roland Garros. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Unification of country codes
Dear Cordless Larry, Fyunck(click) Excirial and other tennis editors! I would like to draw your attention to the following striking and obvious deviation which I experienced during editing and/or uploading data to the historical lists of champions/winners etc. of any Grand Slam tournaments. The unification and using of the certain country codes does not seem to follow any rules and is not standardized. E.g. if Wikipedia is using the ISO/IOC code for Ilie Nastase as ROM which was applied btw 1956–1960, 1972–2006, why is used ROU for Virginia Ruzici or Florenta Mihai in the same era? Not to mention the fact that Nastase's nationality was marked ROU in the list of the finals/champions, and his nationality was listed as ROM among the countries of champions... All three Romanian players' active careers were in the same era with the different Romanian country code? I consider it is something undoubtedly wrong. I appreciate if any of You can clarify this and resolve this contradiction. Thank You! --Mrandrew16 (talk) 23:42, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't have any particular interest in tennis articles, Mrandrew16, but it sounds like a more consistent approach is needed. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:00, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Pic of Hornok Miklós was deleted - why? what was the reason?
Dear Jcb, Filedelinkerbot, Onel5969! Would you give me any reason why You deleted the following pic: Removing c:File:Miklós Hornok, captain of Hungarian Davis Cup team and his No.1 player Marton Fucsovics (2012).jpg from Hornok Miklós's page? The owner and creator of the referenced photo, Peter Zador sent the permission on July 27, 2019 which Yann admitted and re-established the photo on that page. 30 days later, You deleted this photo. May I ask what reason? Mrandrew16 (talk) 11:23, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

 * Different editors simply using different code letters. They all work so what's the big deal? ROU is the most common code in use by NATO and the IOC so I guess all usage should be ROU? Places like Switzerland have three different in use codes... SUI, SWI, and CHE. I usually see SUI but I never change it when I see the other two... why should I since they all work. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:54, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

Dear Fyunck(click), thanks for your prompt reply! I experienced the same like you, however this chaotic mixed and unmanageable code system demands an unification system, when every user/admin/editor etc. can follow an unified code system which should use the IOC (and not NATO) code due to the sports involvement. There is not logical to use a NATO (related to politics) code system in any sports...Just I would recommend a reconsideration and as I see even Cordless Larry has a supportive thought about it when he wrote: it sounds like a more consistent approach is needed... Mrandrew16 (talk) 20:05, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * But with the end product that readers see, is there any difference? It doesn't really seem like it matters unless you are looking at the code. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:15, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * If the result is the same, then I agree, it doesn't really matter whether the code used to produce it is consistent. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:15, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

 * I have no idea what you are talking about. When you ask a question, you should provide a link to the page in question. From the history on Miklós Hornok, it looks like there was a pic, [[File:Miklós Hornok, captain of Hungarian Davis Cup team and his No.1 player Marton Fucsovics (2012).jpg]], which was deleted by, so they would be the one to answer the question. They are not very active (their last activity was in mid-October), however, so you might have to wait for an answer. Onel 5969  TT me 11:10, 19 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Dear Onel5969! I put You, Filedelinkerbot next to Jcb among the recipients in MY FINAL EXASPERATION AND DISBELIEF! As You can see, this is the second attempt to contact somebody who takes the responsibility his action (deleting without any notification/warning and basically without any legal basis the referenced photo). I did not receive any reply none of You after my first notice. If I bothered You with this notice, I apologize, it was not my goal! I just beg an answer from any reasonable admin!
 * However as You also mentioned that Jcb is not very active - I do not think it is acceptable and Wikipedia has benefit of any admin takes an crucial and relevant action then made him/herself not available for any consequences...It makes sense to think about it, maybe...I hope he/she will have a strong argument for that action he/she did.Mrandrew16 (talk) 12:51, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry you are frustrated. I am not an admin, so am unable to look at stuff once it is deleted, so I can't explain to you what happened. I know you think you should get a quicker response, but to be honest, you waited almost 3 months to ask your question after the pic had been deleted, so you might simply be patient and await a response from . Also, I didn't respond 3 days ago, because I didn't receive your ping.  Looking at your talk page history, that was because you added my username after you had already signed the comment.  Once you add your signature to a comment, you can't add "pings" to notify other users.  You have to re-sign.  I'm not sure Jcb received a ping either, which is why I've pinged them in both my messages. By the way, Filedelinkerbot isn't an admin either, in fact, they are not even a human being, but simply a program Jcb uses to delete files. You should never "ping" users whose name ends in "bot". You could also post a question over at WP:TEAHOUSE, where another admin might look into it for you. Hope this helps. Onel 5969  TT me 13:42, 19 November 2019

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Mrandrew16. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Miklós Hornok, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 10:26, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Dear Theroadislong! First, thank you for taking time to share your thoughts and concern. Hereby, I would like to confirm that I covered sports for 25 years, I manage the largest tennis grand slam website which includes 12000 players for 10 years. If I did not objectively inform the public, I wouldn't be in this business for a while! Another thing, it is impossible to have a conflict of interest if you run a website which includes the entire tennis history including 12K players and 100K matches...Since I am a tennis historian, I have to feel guilty knowing the history of tennis, the players, the facts...I corrected the ATP, the WTA, the ITF sites, Hall of Famer journalist listed my name in their book in front of all-time legendary players, like Steve Flink did it in his book "The Greatness Revisited" written about Pete Sampras. These kind of organizations, personalities and not to mention media affiliation have the trust in me and gave my works credit all the time, only some wikipedia editors questioned my abilities or objectivity??? I supposed the wikipedia also appreciate when I made any correction, improvement, adjustment to the articles (I did and I will do in the future) in order to make wikipedia better and legitimize its credibility! If somebody is called as expert in his/her area of expertise, wikipedia bans him/her to contribute??? It means only absolutely amateur contributors can publish anything on wikipedia and only in the topic which they are not specialized. Are you kidding??? Then how You can expect from anybody to give as a credit to wikipedia after all? I have to feel sorry and guilty that hundreds of people in the tennis or in other sports know me, appreciate my works and my contributions? I have conflict of interest to all of them? How can I have the conflict of interest with someones who I never met??? E.g. such as in the referenced person, Miklos Hornok??? Or I can list a hundreds of others who I never met and some - unfortunately - have already passed away... Bytheway, currently my main job which I get paid, is a totally different than sport, I am a cultural assistant. Foregoing the facts, I dare to hope you will rule out this assumption of COI about me. Thanks for reading! Mrandrew16 (talk) 10:57, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * A Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a topic showing how they meet the special Wikipedia definition of a notable person, our own personal knowledge is of no use unless it is supported by reliable independent published sources. The Miklós Hornok article has YouTube and blogs as references, neither of which are usually reliable. Theroadislong (talk) 11:05, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Dear Theroadislong, :The Miklós Hornok article has also references from the official website of the Hungarian Tennis Federation (huntennis.hu) and also from the origo.hu (news) and tennis.hu (tennis news) websites. On the huntennis.hu, you can find 130 scores under Hornok Miklós name. It would make no sense at all to link all of them to prove the credibility. However, you consider I can add a couple of more.Mrandrew16 (talk) 11:19, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Furthermore, I added references such as from British independent.co.uk, the Australian The Courier Mail, the daviscup.com, the ptrtennis.org websites...I hope they would be sufficient...Mrandrew16 (talk) 11:45, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect data at Carlos Alcaraz's career
Dear Tbhotch! At Carlos Alcaraz's site, in his professional career, I detected an error in the following sentence. ″He then reached the quarterfinals by defeating qualifier Peter Gojowczyk. Alcaraz became the youngest US Open men's quarterfinalist in the Open Era, the youngest at the tournament since 18-year-old Thomaz Koch in 1963, and the youngest Grand Slam men's singles quarterfinalist since 18-year-old Michael Chang at the 1990 French Open.″ Michael Chang won the French Open in 1989, it means he reached the quarterfinal at the 1989 French Open at the age of 17. I guess that the referenced sentence is incorrect. The correct version would be: "since 17-year-old Michael Change at the 1989 French Open." Mrandrew16 (talk) 02:57, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Kazuto Kawabe moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Kazuto Kawabe, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption.

I did a favor again to create an English page in order to assist wikipedia and again one of an editors started to question. It seems to me this is going on deliberately! I will think about it in the future how much time I will sacrifice for improving, developing, assisting wikipedia voluntary.Because it does not lead anywhere.My sincere intention is to make wikipedia better and there is always an editor who does not like and question some of my edits... Kazuto Kawabe is a living person, a high-regarded and well-respected professional in the Japanese movie industry.
