Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 2016 Coupe Banque Nationale into 2017 Coupe Banque Nationale. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:28, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Please have a look at as an example of how it is done. Please leave a message on my talk page if you still don't understand what to do or why we have to do it. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:19, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

I see you are still not adding the required attribution, as required under the terms of the CC-by-SA license. Copying from one article another without providing the required attribution is a copyright violation. Please begin fulfilling this mandatory legal requirement, or you risk being blocked from editing. Thanks, — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 15:03, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

You did it again today on 2017 Tashkent Open. A bot is reporting these as copyright violations, and they are, if you don't provide the attribution. There's no reason not to do this simple thing, as the page where an article is created has an edit summary field. If you forget, just do a tiny edit and add the attribution. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:04, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Cut and paste move
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Draft:2017_Internationaux_de_Strasbourg a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into 2017 Internationaux de Strasbourg. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Sources and communication
Please add sources to all articles you create, including those I have alerted you to before, 2018 Dubai Tennis Championships and 2018 Hungarian Ladies Open. Please see WP:BURDEN and WP:Communication is required; it is not acceptable that i have raised this issue with you before and you have chosen to ignore the message and continue creating unreferenced articles.

Are you confused about how to add WP:SOURCES? Do you understand that 'external links' means 'suggestions for further reading' and doesn't indicate that these were sources used in the creation of the article? Please respond. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 06:58, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Hi Rafter913, can you please respond? Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 16:53, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Please respond. Please see WP:Communication is required, WP:V and WP:BURDEN. You are now risking a block by continuing to refuse to communicate. Please just talk - I'm trying to help. Boleyn (talk) 20:35, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Name of tournaments
Hey Title of finals that players made at WTA Tour should be Tournament name, Country. It is defined in Tennis Project Guidelines. Please, do not change it in the futures. If you feel that it is not correct, that is better to call it ex. Morocco Open, Fes instead of Morocco Open, Morocco contact administrator and say that you want to make a change. I think it's better that all players have a same RULE, but yeah, I know sometimes it's ridiciolos to call Luxembourg Open, Luxembourg can we already know it's held in Luxembourg (we can see it in title of tournament).

2022 Veneto Open moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, 2022 Veneto Open, 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. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

WTA Tour Tiers

Astericks removal
I reverted your last several edits because they removed a required asterisk from the 2023 WTA Finals‎ article. Our sight challenged readers can't see many colors and it's why color alone can't be a means to convey information. Please feel free to add the info back but with the required asterisks. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:47, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

ITF colors???
I saw you revert someone for an ITF color change. Perhaps I missed the conversation in our guidelines, but I thought we had the same agreed to charts since 2010. It was discussed by the project then and I didn't know the project had changed them. The agreed to charts were:

When was it changed so I can make note of it. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:09, 21 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, the colors have been changed since the addition of 40K events, starting in 2023, you can see the 2023 ITF Women's World Tennis Tour page for reference Rafter913 (talk) 07:12, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * That's not what I'm asking. Did someone just change it on their own? We have standardized project colors for our charts and they cannot be changed without Tennis Project consent. The ITF charts colors got consensus in 2010. This was confirmed in 2017. It cannot be changed without serious discussion. If someone did it just because they like it and without a major discussion then they would need to be changed back. In 2017 we agreed to the following:


 * Note we kept the same color scheme agreed to with consent from colorblind users in the accessibility group. Unless it was discussed we should not mess with the colors but simply add another $40,000 to an existing color bar. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:21, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * If folks want to change the colors I have no issues as long as it's by consensus and the Tennis Project is involved. I don't even see where it was discussed on any of the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour talk pages either. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:36, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

ITF Colors 2024
Hi - why are the key colors and tournament prize money (tiers) 2024 non consistent with those used in the past? ITF did not change the prize-money but just renamed the reference of the tournaments because of the new points breakdown. W75 is still a 60,000, W50 is still 40,000 and W35 is still 25.000 (for the latest one, the color compared to 2023 was kept the same?!). Right now, in my opinion as a reader/editor, part of the ITF circuit wiki pages (tournaments/players) is incorrect and misleading for the users. Sherman1998 (talk) 17:26, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
