OWGR Points
I was going by the OWGR website that posted them today. Diddlyman2004 (talk) 18:39, 14 January 2014 (UTC)Diddlyman2004
 * Yes, they are labeled "Proj 1st Points". In the FAQs, they state "Each eligible tour can send their fields to OWGR, who will project a SOF and 1st place points. Each tours SOF and event rating is finalised once all players have teed off in the first round". If one or more top 200 OWGR players or top 30 home-tour players withdraw before teeing off, the points can change depending on the replacement player. Tewapack (talk) 18:42, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Babe Zaharius
Hi Tewapack:

Thanks for your contribution (the undo) of Southeast to southeastern Texas. I've seen it both ways and almost changed my mind after I made the change. As you review my other edits, please feel free to undo any that you disagree with. I'm a huge Babe Zaharius fan and want to do her justice with her Wiki page. Most of the changes were grammatical and/or syntax as I took the lead from others regarding content and facts.

extra space in the mountain west standings template
Why do you keep adding all the extra space from the end of the team name to the standings? Does it serve a function I don't know about? As far as I can see it adds nothing visually to it. Why do you do it? Bsuorangecrush (talk) 05:03, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The extra whitespace is so that the W/L's line up vertically if you are using a constant-width font in your editor. It makes it much easier to edit the win and losses and sort by percentages. It has no effect on the display of the standings table. Tewapack (talk) 18:23, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Categories of birth and death years on golfer biographies
Hello, could you please explain to me why the golfers on Wikipedia have the birth and death categories at odd places within the list of categories (usually at the end)? The rest of Wikipedia seems to have these categories at the start of the cats.Hoops gza (talk) 01:00, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
 * From WP:CAT, "The order in which categories are placed on a page is not governed by any single rule (for example, it does not need to be alphabetical, although partially alphabetical ordering can sometimes be helpful). Normally the most essential, significant categories appear first.". I tend to order categories by order of importance, golf categories first (in a logical order - nationality based, tours played in order of membership if known, achievement/award type cats, post-playing career cats, "Golfer from" cats, etc), other categories by importance, from place categories by date if known, then the least important, birth/death cats.

Thanks for that catch...
I didn't mean to insinuate they would get into the NCAA tournament. Most teams pages have a spot for regular season and conference tournament championships. I added the 2014 thinking I was adding it to the regular season champions section. Obviously I didn't look closely enough so good catch. Thanks. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 16:07, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Mexico Open
What I was saying is I was redirecting to a disambig, not that the redirect is a disambig. Changing any redirects can break links. I can fix them.  Enigma msg  17:50, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If you want to create Mexico Open (golf) and fix all the links to Mexico Open - great. Then I have no problem with changing the redirect. Tewapack (talk) 17:55, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see the need for Mexico Open (golf). I can fix the links to send them to the Mexican Open (golf) page, where they belong.  Enigma msg  18:00, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * It is now all corrected except for userpages. You want those also?  Enigma msg  18:10, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Sigh. The tournaments were known as Mexico Open those years, not Mexican Open. So a Mexico Open (golf) redirect will help track those years thru the "What links here" link. Tewapack (talk) 18:17, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

New golf event making its debut this year (2014)...
Hello to you, Tewapack. I have noticed that you love to edit and add/delete items in topics related to the sport of golf. I do not know what to do, with the new LPGA event called the International Crown. I wonder, if you like, want to create a subject called the 2014 International Crown here in Wikipedia. Well, I could do it, but only to a degree because I am still a novice in creating topics, like this one. Yes, I did create the general International Crown page here, but other editors helped me out with a bit of details here and there later on. I like to give you the honor of creating the 2014 International Crown page first, should you want to do it. Either way, I will respect your decision. Rockies77 (talk) 02:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't see much point in making a 2104 IC article yet. Why not wait until it is closer to the event and more details are available. Tewapack (talk) 04:22, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I have just seen your work on this topic. Thank you very much for making the first International Crown page for 2014. I would have messed it up big time because I do not know how to make one on this scale. Rockies77 (talk) 04:52, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Capitalization
You keep changing First Round to First round on season articles. Just curious if there is actually a standard to why you are doing that. I don't care either way but previous seasons for almost every team have both capitalized. I do it that way to keep it uniform with how it has always been in the past. So if there is no standard, I would say capitalized both because that is how it has pretty much always been done. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 05:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
 * The standard of WP is to use "Sentence case" not "Title Case" for article titles (WP:TITLEFORMAT), section headers (WP:HEADINGS, table headers (MOS:TABLE), etc. - see WP:MOSCAPS. Just because it's been done wrong in the past doesn't mean we can't correct it now. Tewapack (talk) 05:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for all of your help during conference tournaments on college basketball pages. I kept lots of conferences, mostly the smaller conferences, up to date pretty much by myself for much of the season. It's nice to have some help now towards the very busy end of the season. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 18:05, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Tewapack (talk) 18:07, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Feedback, please?
Hey Tewapack, I came across you while linking a page I'm working on to the 2010 and 2011 NCAA Men's Golf National Championship pages. Do you think you could swing by my sandbox and take 20 seconds to let me know if the golf section looks better if I use the tables, or the information below the tables for each year? It'd be a great help. Any other suggestions for me as I work on expanding the article in my sandbox for the time being would be appreciated as well. Thank you! GRUcrule (talk) 15:39, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd suggest the text below the tables. Showing the Sagarin (top 100, overall) records might be confusing since they aren't match play records. Tewapack (talk) 17:21, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. I'm just trying to put the season in perspective on each of the starters, and I felt those two stats painted a decent enough picture without throwing too much in there. Any suggestions on how I could do that? I'm thinking of just making a new list below the paragraph and listing them. Thanks! GRUcrule (talk) 18:24, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I think the year-end ranking sums it up best - unless you look at the ref the other records are pretty meaningless. Tewapack (talk) 19:05, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank ya kindly for your thoughts! The page is live at Georgia Regents Jaguars with your suggestions intact. I appreciate it! GRUcrule (talk) 18:36, 19 March 2014 (UTC)

Just curious
Why you are changing all the tournament info in the info box on teams pages? In previous years it has always just listed the tournament and the round the team got to, not also their opponent in that round and the score. It seems way to cluttered and all but one team in each tournament will be listed as a loss. There obviously is no standard but I don't see any reason to change how it's been done in past years. And for the NCAA tournament, don't list it as the round of 64. It's the second round, that's what it officially is according to the NCAA. Yes, I get the argument that that may be confusing considering only 8 teams play in the first four round but it is officially the second round. If anyone is confused by that then they can go look at it on the tournaments page. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 04:38, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I saw all kinds of info going into those parameters so I looked at the documentation for the {Infobox NCAA team season} template and followed the example. I went with Round of 64 because it is unambiguous. Tewapack (talk) 04:49, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Unambiguous yet unofficial. Shouldn't it be listed as what it's officially called in the tournament?Bsuorangecrush (talk) 04:53, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily, see WP:OFFICIALNAMES (about article names but the same reasoning applies). Tewapack (talk) 04:58, 21 March 2014 (UTC)
 * And I did look at that template so I guess it's fine that you followed that example. I changed a few of them since I had not seen it listed like that over the years I've been doing it but I'll stop. You can change them back if you want. I still say it should be second round or third round instead of round of 64 and 32 though. Bsuorangecrush (talk) 05:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Alexander Levy
Could you confirm the reason for de-catagorising the Volvo China open as a win on the OneAsia tour on page Alexander Levy? I'm very confused as the tournament was co-hosted by both the European and OneAsia Tour as per 2014 European Tour, and from what I've seen elsewhere on wikipedia the win is usually then listed and categorised separately for each tour. (i.e. as the Maybank Malaysian Open is listed as both a European Tour and Asian Tour win on Lee Westwood).

I could understand if you just didn't think it warranted inclusion in table form, but to remove it altogether seems pointless as it is a win on this tour. I haven't changed it back without your response to this but will consider doing so unless I get a reply.

Regards Tracland (talk) 19:03, 27 April 2014 (UTC)


 * If Levy was a member of the OneAsia Tour it would make sense to duplicate the win. Since he is only a member of the ET and doesn't have any other OnAsia wins the duplication seems unnecessary. Tewapack (talk) 19:49, 27 April 2014 (UTC)


 * But surely Westwood isn't a member of the Asian Tour. I don't think it detracts from the article to have both listed, then if and when he does go on to win events on either tour or future co-hosted event the detail is already there. I think his article should say that he has a win on the OneAsia tour as it is a win on this tour even if he isn't a member Tracland (talk) 20:02, 27 April 2014 (UTC)


 * But Westwood has other AT wins, so the MMO is listed twice. In Levy's case, it is list as being co-sanctioned with OneAsia under ET wins so the info is there, no reason to duplicated it unnecessarily. Tewapack (talk) 21:25, 27 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok thanks for clearing that up for me. Should he win further oneAsia comps should I add it then?Tracland (talk) 19:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, that would be appropriate. Tewapack (talk) 19:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Template for deletion
I noticed you opened up Templates for discussion/Log/2014 April 30 the other day. I opened up Templates for discussion/Log/2014 April 30 right after you without even realizing the TfD you had created (funny timing I suppose).

World Golf Village
Every article in a subcategory of Category:Census-designated places in Florida is also in that category; my edits today added fewer than ten to that category that were already in a subcategory.

A little confusion
Hello, thanks for your help, but I think there is some confusion about this year's Sunshine Tour schedule. When looking closely, there are two similar looking events, the:

Mopani Copper Mines Zambia Open, played May 15–18, winner Wallie Coetzee, and Zambia Sugar Open, played June 5–8, winner yet to be determined.

If this is correct, then that means the Mopani Copper Mines Zambia Open page should not redirect to the Zambia Sugar Open page, but rather have its own information filled out for its own page. The Mopani Copper Mines Zambia Open might possibly be a new event, causing the confusion. Perhaps you might fill out the appropriate information for the Mopani Copper Mines Zambia Open page? Thanks Johnsmith2116 (talk) 17:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * The Zambia Sugar Open is the new event, see http://www.daily-mail.co.zm/index.php/sports/item/2727-summer-zambia-open-attracts-119-golfers, but has the same name as last year's event. I'll create a unique redirect for last years event and kill the redirect from Zambia Sugar Open to Zambia Open. Tewapack (talk) 18:11, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

-- I'd appreciate that. Yes, the winner of the other event a few weeks ago, Wallie Coetsee, is currently listed as the winner, but there has to be two separate pages for the two different events. That way, we'll be able to enter the winners' names for each event. Thanks again Johnsmith2116 (talk) 18:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I've created a new Zambia Sugar Open stub page for the 2014+ event. I created a Zambia Sugar Open (2013 event) redirect and corrected the 2013 Sunshine Tour and Adilson da Silva pages. I think that covers it. A similar thing happened on the Champions Tour several years ago (Allianz Championship/Principal Charity Classic) and on the LPGA Tour years ago where two events had the same name in the same year. Tewapack (talk) 18:11, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

-- I found the new one you made. Thanks for that and all the corrections. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 18:25, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

SORTKEY
Are you referring to this item? Only hyphens, apostrophes and periods/full stops punctuation marks should be kept in sort values. All other punctuation marks should be removed.... Wouldn't that imply that it should be "Reno Tahoe Open"? ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 00:55, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the endash gets replace by a hyphen, see, for example 2013–14 NBA season. There's a bot that would eventually do it if I hadn't, in fact it already did in this edit. Tewapack (talk) 02:17, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, no wonder I was confused when you pointed me to SORTKEY; it doesn't explain what you did. Would you please fix WP:SORTKEY?  I am so confused by SORTKEY, it would be great if it was at least correct.  Thanks! ErikHaugen (talk &#124; contribs) 17:04, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Tour Naming
You've reversed one of my entries regarding a Senior tournament being on the Legends tour. You're technically correct, but I see a lot of inconsistency regarding the naming of events. For example, the Sunshine Tour didn't exist under that name until 2000. It was founded as the "Sunshine Circuit", split into two tours in the early 90s, became the South Africa Tour when the re-merged in 1995, then renamed the Sunshine Tour. But many pages, for example Gary Player, call events even as far back as the 1950s by more current names. Same issue with the Australian / Australasian tours. What would be the normal naming convention that would be customary to use here? Ocfootballknut (talk))


 * I think the most common usage is to use the name of the Tour that the played last played/won under. This applies to Champions Tour/Senior PGA Tour, Web/com Tour/Nationwide/Buy.com/etc as well as the ones you mentioned. The tournament in question, Legends of Golf, was an unofficial tournament until 2002, so shouldn't be labeled as a Champions Tour/Senior PGA Tour event. The specific entry was I reverted was for 1978 when the Tour didn't exist yet. Tewapack (talk) 14:44, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Another question ... Is there any reason the various State Open Golf tournaments should be listed as "PGA of America Sectional Tournaments"? That category currently includes opens in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New England, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Northern California, Northwest, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. I know the various PGA sections probably sponsor those tournaments, but I wouldn't think they'd be classified as Sectional Tournaments. Thoughts? Ocfootballknut (talk) 02:30, 27 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Those opens are run by the PGA section, that's why they are listed under both. There are also non-sectional championships in that category as well. "Category:PGA of America Sectional Tournaments" is for all tournaments runny the sections, not just the sectional championships. Tewapack (talk) 05:01, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

SoCal Pro
Interesting change on Ed Dudley. Makes me wonder about Olin Dutra. He won the SoCal PGA tournament 6 times between 1930 & 1940. His page says that the PGA listing is missing 3 victories in that timeframe. If the 1928 tournament was considered a formal PGA event, then maybe 1 or more of Dutra's victories in that same general timeframe count as well. Not sure how to research that (on-line), though.

Emily Bastel
Tewapack, I'm going to create an article for Emily Bastel Glaser, the head coach of the Florida Gators women's golf team since 2012. She was an LPGA golfer for several years, and earned $176,000 doing it, so she must have generated some pro stats. Are you willing to find her LPGA career numbers and key details and layer then into the new article? Thanks -- please let me know. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:02, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll add what I can. There are stats out there (not much on LPGA.com for non-active players) and she won the 2007 Futures Tour PoY award and at least two tournaments. Tewapack (talk) 22:12, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, sir. I ran into the LPGA lack-of-stats problem already.  Unless you object, the new article will be named "Emily Glaser" (married name that she is using professionally now), with a redirect from "Emily Bastel."  Also, anything you can find about birth date, birthplace, full name, etc. would be helpful.  GatorZone.com lists her as a "native of Upper Sandusky, Ohio," which as you know is often used loosely to mean someone who grew up there, rather than being born there.  I'll check her player and coach bios from the Duke and Michigan State sports websites, too, as well as running the usual Google New searches.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:24, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Birth info at here Tewapack (talk) 22:26, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you, sir. I would not have found that one on my own.  Do you often use Yahoo Sports Canada??  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I knew Yahoo would likely have bio info on Bastel, I'm not sure why it was Sports Canada that turned up in my google search. Tewapack (talk) 17:34, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for all of your work on the Bastel/Glaser article. I can't match your encyclopedic knowledge of golf references! BTW, what might you know about this guy, J. C. Deacon? He's the new men's golf coach at the University of Florida, having replaced Buddy Alexander after almost 30 years. Is Deacon notable enough for his own article now, or should we wait? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:55, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * From the UF article I found, nothing in his amateur, professional, or coaching career rises to the level of notability. Tewapack (talk) 02:45, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that was kind of my take, too. I was hoping you had some magic notability dust in your golf bag.  He may have to wait until he gets some more ink to satisfy WP:GNG.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:49, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Nationalities of Women's British Open participants
Hello - I had noticed on the W.B.O. scoreboard today that there a couple of changes from only yesterday, changes of the countries playing in them, suggesting that in only the last day, there apparently were a few withdrawls. At this this time yesterday, there were 12 English women in the field, and there are now 13; and there were 0 Northern Irish women in the field, but there is now 1 (Stephanie Meadow). Conversely, there had been 35 American women in, and there are now 34; and there had been 1 woman from Ireland in, and there is now 0. Is there a way to get updates on who has withdrawn and who the alternates are? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 17:20, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I updated the field list today: Lizette Salas (USA) out (with injury), Lucy Williams (ENG) in. Don't know about the IRL/NIR issue, probably just Meadow listed two different ways. Tewapack (talk) 18:03, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. Is there a source that shows when this happens? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 18:08, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
 * There's a ref in the article - sounds like a late withdrawal but doesn't say when. Tewapack (talk) 18:21, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Repeated reverts of Mark Hensby article
Hello,

I have noticed that you have reverted the edits made on the article about Mark Hensby.

Hensby is known as The Forgotten Man of Australian Golf as a result of his claims in an interview that he has been forgotten by the Australian people and was a topic discussed over some months by the presenters of This Sporting Life as they charted Hensby's decline in the world rankings from ~200 - ~300 at the time (around mid 2008).

This Sporting Life was an Australian radio show that ran for over 20 years and was responsible for producing nicknames for many Australian sportspeople and athletes.

"The forgotten man" nickname came about as a result of Hensby

Please refrain from reverting the information pertaining to the commonly known nickname of Hensby in his native Australia.

Centering
Hello - Earlier in the week, I had taken out the one column of centering because at that time, I thought it wasn't needed. But today, when I tried to put in a 2-digit golf score, the result was that the number ended up aligning to the left. That's why I had to change it back to the way it was. If you go to that page and run an experiment, you'll too see that it goes to the left without the centering put in there to keep it in the middle. Thanks -- Johnsmith2116 (talk) 02:12, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * For the first round yes, for later rounds the score fills the full width of the column so centering is redundant. Tewapack (talk) 02:15, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * I just tried it for the second round, and it's still going to the left. Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong. The only way that it won't go to the left is if the centering is used. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 02:21, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Left alignment is the default, look at the second round in 2014 PGA Championship, no centering and it looks fine. Tewapack (talk) 02:48, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Single-season article for PGA golfers?
Hey, Tewapack. A recent issue has arisen at AfD, which as far as I know is a novel one. WP:NSEASONS is written to address when single seasons of major sports teams may be notable, and when stand-alone articles for such individual seasons may be appropriate. The new issue is whether stand-alone articles are appropriate for single seasons/years of individual athletes. Are you aware of any single-season articles for PGA or WPGA players? If so, can you identify them for me? Does WP Golf have any internal standards for such articles, if any exist, or are you relying on WP:GNG? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:26, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * None exist for golfers. The only one that comes to mind as deserving of an article is Bobby Jones in 1930, the year he won the grand slam. Two books have been written about that season. It's an article I've been meaning to create but haven't yet. Tewapack (talk) 02:23, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Clearly, Jones' 1930 season would likely qualify under the general notability guidelines as a truly exceptional season -- with two books and plenty of ink spilled in newspapers columns in the 84 years since.  BTW, he's kind of a hometown hero here in my part of the world.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:08, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Question
Hey, Tewapack. Can you take a quick look at this: Brian Gay? Is this something that WP:Golf is encouraging these days? It strikes me as falling somewhere between WP:TRIVIA and WP:PROMO. In all events, it feels like overkill. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:04, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * It's neither encouraged or discouraged. Personally, I never add this type of section to a biography but I don't delete them either. Tewapack (talk) 17:26, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Would you be offended if I deleted it? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:35, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No. Tewapack (talk) 17:36, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

David Jackson (golfer)
Tewapack, through your many golf references, can you determine Jackson's middle name or middle initial? I just checked the University of Florida online alumni directory (members only, password access), so I could include his degree information in the article you created. Unfortunately, there were two David Jacksons in the Class of 1986, both with plausible majors (health and human performance, broadcast journalism). Neither record lists an employer, and they both live in different towns in Florida. They do, however, have different middle names (Alan, Wayne). If you can find a middle initial in one of the golf records, we can then connect the dots. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:06, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, is there a good on-line source that lists year-by-year PGA (and LPGA) Tour membership? I'm cleaning up the "List of Florida Gators" golfers articles, and I would like to be able to list the exact years of tour membership.  Any help you can provide would be appreciated.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:42, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I did find a David A Jackson, with the same birthdate, who lived in Monticello, FL - probably the same guy. Try http://golfobserver.com for some info but most behind pay wall. Tewapack (talk) 21:45, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Nailed it. The alumni records have "David A." with a Monticello address, too.


 * I'll check out GolfObserver.com. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

FYI
I've been expecting this for a while: IP user edits. I love that it's one of crusaders logged out and editing as an IP. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:34, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * I've started a discussion at Template talk:Infobox golfer and requested that the IP editor refrain from making additional changes. Tewapack (talk) 19:05, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

The IP user
Hello, I had noticed the change on the Scott Simpson page that you had done and I noticed it was changed back. So, I had put it back to your version again, but in the last few minutes, mine too was changed back again. Is there something I can do to help the situation? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 20:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Infobox Golfer Talkpage
Hi

This is not me talking about the Nationality field debate that you have done well to keep out of as it has turned into a complete debacle. However when looking over the talk page I noticed that there was a section on the inclusion of a golfers "highest world ranking" in the info box. It has had little talk either positive or negative but I think it would be a very useful addition and wondered if you could look over the comments and see if it merits inclusion.

Thanks Tracland (talk) 20:21, 18 September 2014 (UTC)

Any idea whether there has been a consensus on this? Tracland (talk) 07:42, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * When it was last discussed, there was no easy way to determine what a golfer's highest ranking was. Now the owgr.com site has a rankings graph that would allow someone to determine the peak ranking. These only go back to 1989 (not the start of the rankings in April 1986). See Tom Watson for an example, he appears to have peaked at 13 on May 23, 1989 but could have ranked higher in the 1986-88 time frame. Another problem is that it is not easy (maybe impossible) to find rankings for older golfers (I could not find Jack Nicklaus for example). If you think it would be useful, suggest it at the infobox golfer talk page. Tewapack (talk) 17:33, 21 October 2014 (UTC)


 * It has been suggested on that page by another user and I concurred that it would be useful. However as there had been little discussion and you are the most active in terms of golf edits I thought it would be best to get your opinion before progressing. I wasn't aware of the 1986-1989 issue but this only applies to a limited number of golfers anyway. Pre 1986 as far as I'm aware there were not official rankings as such so it would just not be relevant for such golfers and could be left blank? Tracland (talk) 18:01, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Camilo Benedetti
Any current information on Colombian golfer Camilo Benedetti? Last I heard he was playing on the Nationwide Tour. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 05:09, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * He played on the Web.com Tour (previosly Nationwide Tour) in 2014, see Tewapack (talk) 18:30, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. In your estimation, is Benedetti worthy of a article?  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:34, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
 * He doesn't meet WP:NGOLF. Tewapack (talk) 19:17, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the notability evaluation. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 08:49, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

International Crown
Hello - Just wondering if the Category recently removed from the bottom of the International Crown page should have been removed or not? Please take a look and see what you think. Thanks. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 19:21, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

The LPGA Championship
Hello, I see that you have made the KPMG Women's PGA Championship page as a re-direct for the LPGA Championship, and I'm guessing that eventually it was going to be meant for the moving of the LPGA Championship page (unless you wanted to make a page without the "KPMG" sponsor name and just call the page "Women's PGA Championship".

In either case, would you mind if I be the one to move the LPGA Championship page when it is time to do it? I ask because I have yet to move a page, and seeing as how the opportunity doesn't come along often, I'd like to be able to do at least one. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 21:15, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Fine by me. Tewapack (talk) 21:43, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks. Now just two questions: 1) Did you want to use the existing page that says "KPMG Women's PGA Championship", or should we use a new one without the sponsor name and call it "Women's PGA Championship"?..2) When do you think I should do the move? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 21:51, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I would move it to the unsponsored name "Women's PGA Championship". I won't move it until the 2014 LPGA Tour season is over. Tewapack (talk) 21:58, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay then, I'll leave the sponsor name out of it when I do it, and I'll plan to do it later in the year when their season is over. Hopefully no one else will do it between now and then, though. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 22:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

1994
Good morning -- With the Mark Brooks article and a couple others, there is a certain IP editor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/24.239.48.123) who has been making edits with the year 1994 in mind. You may want to go to Brooks' page and a few others (Fred Couples, etc.) to see if they need repairing. I already turned back one page involving this editor. They might have good intentions but it might not be the right place for them to be doing what they are doing. Thanks. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 11:24, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Hugh Royer, Jr.
Hello - There was a small edit in Talk:Hugh Royer, Jr. in the last few minutes and I was wondering if it was needed. Please check on it. Thanks. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 18:05, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Needed - yes. I missed that one. Tewapack (talk) 18:20, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Flags in infoboxes
Please note that WP:INFOBOXFLAG specifically says, "As with other biographical articles, flags are discouraged in sportspeople's individual infoboxes even when there is a "country", "nationality", "sport nationality" or equivalent field: they may give undue prominence to one field over others." MOS:SPORTFLAGS says "Flags should never indicate the player's nationality in a non-sporting sense; flags should only indicate the sportsperson's national squad/team or (and it is not an exception to Manual of Style/Icons)." If it's the standard in golfer infoboxes to use a flag, then this needs to be fixed. -- Aussie Legend  ( ✉ ) 13:56, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Volvo World Match Play
Oops, I was still in the 2014 Ryder Cup-habit of thinking, with the putting of the winner's name in bold. On the 2014 Volvo World Match Play page, bold isn't needed. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 15:56, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for entering the results of the Grand Slam of Golf. I was set to do it at 1:15 PM Eastern when suddenly my computer did an automatic update; as soon as it was finished, I logged back on to Wikipedia to update that page and I found that you had already done it. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 20:17, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Strange occurrence
Hello - just as I was about to enter the last match of the day's results on the World Match Play today, I got an edit conflict. It turns out that an IP user put in the winner of the last match. The odd thing about it is, that match happened to be the one match that had an American (Patrick Reed) and it was a win for him, and that edit is the only edit that that particular IP user has done in Wikipedia. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 15:57, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Question about points
Hello - I noticed the recent edit to change the points on the PGA Tour page. Did the Shriners ranking points change overnight? I could have sworn it was 38, so that's what I had put into the 2015 page. Is it capable of changing overnight at the website, or was I mistaken about what I had entered last night in the first place?
 * The points are fixed once all the players in the first round have started - but the owgr.com site may not get updated if there are late changes to the field. I tend to go by the Events page at OWGR and then actually look at each tournament page to double check. Tewapack (talk) 18:17, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

Question about IP editor
Hello - Just wondering, is it common for an IP-editor's talk page to have the edit feature disabled? I had found an edit that a particular IP editor had done on the Ottawa Shooting article which had been taken out, and I found that that IP user had been warned in the past, but I also found no way to reach them through their talk page, as it appears to have had its talk option disabled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2014_shootings_at_Parliament_Hill%2C_Ottawa&diff=630812886&oldid=630812777

Have you known of this sort of talk-page disabling to happen before? Johnsmith2116 (talk) 17:10, 23 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Look at the last entry in the "View history" - only admins can edit the talk page. Tewapack (talk) 17:23, 23 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Ah, got it. Thanks. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 17:31, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Sorry, I must have accidentally put his name in the wrong spot this morning on the Panasonic Open page. Thanks for finding and fixing it. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 21:31, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Murdaca
It seems that the winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur has two variants of his first name; he has an article titled Anthony Murdaca. From what I can gather, his family is of Italian origin, so his name is probably Antonio; but I'm not certain. I'm not sure whether to redirect Antonio Murdaca to Anthony Murdaca or move the article. pʰeːnuːmuː →‎  pʰiːnyːmyː  → ‎ ɸinimi  → ‎ fiɲimi  16:48, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
 * My inclination would be to move the article and edit the lead to read Antonio "Anthony" Murdaca ..." His world amateur golf ranking page uses Antonio. He was born in Italy but moved to Australia at a very young age. Tewapack (talk) 17:01, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Avantha/Indian Masters
As far as I can tell, the Avantha Masters and Indian Masters are the same tournament, yet they have separate articles. pʰeːnuːmuː →‎  pʰiːnyːmyː  → ‎ ɸinimi  → ‎ fiɲimi  20:58, 14 November 2014 (UTC)


 * The European Tour considers it one event, based on the history page here. The Asian Tour considers it two separated events based on this and this. I think they should remain separated articles, with additions to each explaining the different views of the tours. Tewapack (talk) 21:24, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Rory McIlroy
Please check on the Rory McIlroy article. A couple things - the "Northern" isn't there, and neither is the flag icon. Thanks. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 19:54, 16 November 2014 (UTC)

Kraft
If it will help to go to all the pages listed in the "Kraft Nabisco Championship" category page and add the "ANA" category to the bottom of all those pages, we can do that. It'll be a little tedious, but it can be done, if you think it would be better to do it that way? Now that I already made that ANA category, it does increase the work. I suppose it hadn't occurred to me at that time. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * You should definitely post it to WP:CFD. Once it is renamed, a bot will change all the categories from Kraft to ANA. Tewapack (talk) 17:59, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry about the confusion. I didn't quite know how to do what was suggested, so I just went ahead and added the ANA Inspiration to the pages that were in the Category:Kraft Nabisco Championship page. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 16:36, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Color coding
I was working on the results table for 2013 European Tour Qualifying School graduates and came across a problem: What color do you use for someone who did not place high enough in the Race to Dubai to retain his card, but won a tournament in the same season, and thus will retain it? pʰeːnuːmuː →‎  pʰiːnyːmyː  → ‎ ɸinimi  → ‎ fiɲimi  18:42, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd use blue or green if they are placed in basically the same group as the top x (60?, 110?), and edit the note (see 2012 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates for example). Tewapack (talk) 19:27, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Players Championship field size
I saw your edit to The Players Championship. What's your source for this number? PGATOUR.com gives the field size as 144, and there were 144 players last year including the Senior Players winner. pʰeːnuːmuː →‎  pʰiːnyːmyː  → ‎ ɸinimi  → ‎ fiɲimi  18:59, 26 November 2014 (UTC)


 * The tour put out conflicting info for the 2014 field (144 or 145) see and, etc. My recollection is that the field was 144 for many years (although this wasn't a strict limit, more than that can and have qualified) and then they added the Senior Players champion and expanded the field to 145 (I haven't been able to locate a source for that, but at least since 2010 ). IMHO, the tour does a poor job of putting out this type of info, even the 2014 Players Championship Media Guide  doesn't list the field size or how players qualify. Tewapack (talk) 20:09, 26 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I asked about this on the comments on PGATOUR.com (see here), and the response indicates that the field has returned to 144. pʰeːnuːmuː  →‎  pʰiːnyːmyː  → ‎ ɸinimi  → ‎ fiɲimi  23:07, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

Isabelle Lendl
Tewapack, what is your assessment of the notability of Isabelle Lendl? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 04:24, 11 December 2014 (UTC)


 * From a WP:NGOLF standpoint, she is borderline. You could make a (weak) argument the she qualifies under point 1 with her Junior Ryder Cup experience. She doesn't qualify under point 5, though a point could be made that an amateur playing in a professional major (2013 Kraft Nabisco) should merit the same consideration as a pro making the cut (on the other had, she was invited, she didn't qualify). Being the youngest participant in the 2004 U.S. Women's Amateur doesn't qualify, IMHO, under point 8. The Eastern Amateur wins do rise to the level of point 4. So does she meet WP:GNG? I'll let you decide. Tewapack (talk) 04:54, 11 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I've been watching this one for a while, wondering if she would eventually make a name for herself. Frankly, it looks like she got more attention as a college player because of her last name -- and a Wikipedia article as a result.  I am reminded that notability is not inherited.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 05:05, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Herbert Charles Tippet
Hi Tewapack,

Thanks for the clean-ups on my article on Tippet. Much appreciated and pleased to see that someone has actually taken an interest in him. I have one minor issue: British Army battalions are never given the definite article (i.e. the 4th Battalion), they are always referred to as simply 4th Battalion. The definite article is used for the regiment. Hence "4th Battalion, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers" would be correct but "the 4th Battalion, Royal Dublin Fusiliers" would not be.

You may want to re-visit the amendment you made to the beginning of the second paragraph under "Military Career". Otherwise, thank you.

William Guy (golfer) and Jim Draper
Dear Tewapack, Could you please explain your decision to revert my recent edits on William Guy (golfer) and Jim Draper? I had sorted the categories into uniform order. (I am also the original creator of these articles). Thanks, Gomach (talk) 15:05, 15 December 2014 (UTC)


 * From WP:CAT, "The order in which categories are placed on a page is not governed by any single rule (for example, it does not need to be alphabetical, although partially alphabetical ordering can sometimes be helpful). Normally the most essential, significant categories appear first.". I tend to order categories for golfers by order of importance, golf categories first (in a logical order - nationality based, tours played in order of membership if known, achievement/award type cats, post-playing career cats, "Golfer from" cats, etc), other categories by importance, from place categories by date if known, then the least important, birth/death cats.

Hello - I was all set to make the 2015 Champions Tour page tonight after dinner, but now I see you have already done it. Thanks for that, because it makes the upcoming workload a little lighter. Cheers! - Johnsmith2116 (talk) 23:05, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Bridgestone
Thanks for fixing the year thing on the 2015 Bridgestone page, apparently I had actually missed that when I was doing the page. I had simply copied it from the 2014 Bridgestone page and must have not noticed it. Naturally it's an event for several tours, being a WGC event. ... Also, thanks for filling out the page with the participants. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 04:18, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Actually, after taking a closer look, I see that the last several years of the Bridgestone pages list the year as PGA Tour. Maybe those should be adjusted as well. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 04:24, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
