Year-End

It doesn't make sense to put the ranking the rankign refelct the performance of a player in the past 52 weeks, and doesn't reflect anything. So are you saying that Federer is leader in the points collected in the year. If yoy look at the itf website and search for Federer ir states that he is 2nd in the race and that Roddick is 1st. And Del Potro is the 5th player to collect the most poitn wheas he is not even in the top 20. So placing the rankings doens't make sense.

Honey i have been doing longe rthan you have and i was the one who edited the 2009 barclays year-end championships i know how it works. I don't know why you think that the ranking reflects thae race because it doesn't.

Wow you have done some hard work. good luck on that.

You stop what you what you are doing this page is created so that they don't to need to go to their pages and how dare say i don't know how to write i have written many Tennis pages. Your ego is bigger than who you are. And really using the words i implore you you better go out of your house and start having a life. It was edited by many experience users and you just remove all of that. That page isn't my work alone it was a coollaborative work. 17:06, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Tretorn Series

Tretorn is the Official Ball of the Challenger Series Tour and the sponsor of the Tretorn SERIE+ consisting of the premier ATP Challenger Series tournaments – all with prize money of $100,000 or greater. The Tretorn SERIE+ thus unifies an elite series of tournaments across much of Europe, as well as Asia and North Africa. Much like the ATP Masters 1000 events has done with top-tier ATP tournaments, the SERIE+ will provide cohesive branding to each event. . 2010 Israel Open has a $100,000 prize money.

Its just frustrating that they don't really have good editors, they have made so many errors on rankings they need to improve their site a lot. 17:06, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

1970 Houston Women's Invitation

Please instruct me as to what error I've committed, I'm simply following the Common name for the article titles. As you noted in the article its lineage is that of Virginia Slims of Houston, and it strikes me as odd to what you'd name the 1971 event as it was also called the Houston Women's Invitation, "1970 Houston Women's Invitation" seems like the WP:COMMONNAME. I do not appreciate your tone it strikes me as very Uncivil. Afro (Talk) 20:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

We have many events which have a distinct name which falls under the name for one time only example is 1997 Gold Coast Classic, once again WP:COMMONNAME. Afro (Talk) 22:09, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Why would I take it somewhere else when you're the one I'm having a disagreement with? 1997 Welsh International Open - one time event, probably wasn't known as the 1997 Welsh International Open at the time. Afro (Talk) 22:27, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I do agree that the Welsh International Open might need to be up for discussion but I think 1997 Gold Coast Classic is the better example. Afro (Talk) 22:41, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I don't really see the point but you can go ask someone if you want. Afro (Talk) 22:49, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

I thought I might bring up to you that the article may be factually inaccurate as the U.S. Women's Hard Court Championships or the New Haven Open at Yale was held since 1949, which prompts me to wonder if there were any other tournaments which existed prior this tournament. Afro (Talk) 00:26, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me I have 2 books and the first one talks about the national indoor of course women only. Erm this guinness book good for results crap for proper facts. If it said most then fine but I'll address tomorrow. KnowIG (talk) 00:40, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Not to much of an issue change one word remove bold claim from lead should correct it right? KnowIG (talk) 00:43, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

I just thought I'd bring this to your attention since you're working on the article, and of course its not much work. Afro (Talk) 01:34, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

BE v. AmE

I'm not sure why it was thought the article should be converted to British English. It is obviously US-centric, so it should be in American English. -Rrius (talk) 05:57, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

RE: GP

The first Virginia Slims Circuit started in 1971, at the same time as the first women's Grand Prix. Women's events were not part of the Grand Prix in 1970, and the reference I mention on the talk page backs this up. Totalinarian (talk) 20:58, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Shaun Whalley Review

This was written in the section concerning the lead and i dont know what you mean. Please could you write back on my talk page.

"So perhaps the one you have already. Expand the special 11 and add one more about his notablity. Needs an eye ran over the prose to check it for any issues. See below for findings"

thanks, –LiamTaylor– 18:35, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Where i wrote what is below, you said try not to note goals unless they are important. Well i think putting a few goals in i.e his first few and his last for a clb is good, it adds to the article and if you look at other Football Good Articles thay are mostly this way.

and netted again the following week in the loss to Matlock Town. Is this needed. Think about it if you don't note every goal he scored, unless it was important i.e. wins comp saves relgation or first goal then I would say it's not needed. Goes for other areas of the article. cheers, –LiamTaylor– 09:20, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

I have just asked you that as i am working on it now, I have not had much time this week and i have just finished assesing the article before i start work and was just claryfying a few things. thanks, –LiamTaylor– 09:54, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

I think I have completed evreything possible and i also want to ask you about the lead, is that okay now. cheers, –LiamTaylor– 10:49, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Job done, i added all refs, but deleted the part about injury as i could not find a ref anywhere and i did the sentence. thank you, –LiamTaylor– 17:58, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

OrphanReferenceFixer: Help on reversion

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you reverted my fix to 2011 Australian Open.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both <ref name="foo">...</ref> and one or more <ref name="foo"/> referring to it. Someone then removed the <ref name="foo">...</ref> but left the <ref name="foo"/>, which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining <ref name="foo"/> with a copy of the <ref name="foo">...</ref>; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me! If the error is so urgent that I need to be stopped, also post a message at User:AnomieBOT/shutoff/OrphanReferenceFixer. Thanks! AnomieBOT⚡ 19:36, 23 March 2011 (UTC) If you do not wish to receive this message in the future, add {{bots|optout=AnomieBOT-OrphanReferenceFixer}} to your talk page.

2011 Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters

When did the condition with Monte-Carlo Rolex Masters point distribution began? Dencod16 (talk) 11:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

The Point Distribution is wrong, even though it is counted as a 500 event when it comes to category, it still distributes Master series points. The condition you set is wrong. For example is Fernando Verdasco, he played in all 8 mandatory Master Series Event and his Monte Carlo points count as 600, which is the point given to a finalist of a Masters Series events. Dencod16 (talk) 11:54, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

And how did Verdasco get 600 points for Monte Carlo if he played all 8 Master events, how the hell did he get more than 500 points for it if the maximum points for a 500 event is 500, I know the rulebook. Explain that. check Fernando Verdasco Point Distribution points first before you comment back. You have the wrong idea of the Monte Carlo Masters Exception. Dencod16 (talk) 12:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

And how did Baghdatis get 10 points last year for losing in the first round of Monte Carlo Masters. I don't get why you still don't know how the point system works. And you have been editing Tennis for a while now. Dencod16 (talk) 12:07, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

That is why 25 is in parenthesis because it only applies if the draw is larger than 56. Dencod16 (talk) 12:18, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Explain why Verdasco got 600 points for Monte Carlo despite playing all mandatory Masters 1000. Dencod16 (talk) 12:35, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Your funny, your the one who don't understand, asking help from another person. If you can explain why Verdasco got 600 points, then we are cool. But it seems like you can't, you are like your friend, you are putting references that are not really reliable. Dencod16 (talk) 12:42, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Nope that is not right. Visit this page http://www.atpworldtour.com/Tennis/Players/Top-Players/Fernando-Verdasco.aspx?t=rb

Verdasco has 3,095 points his points breakdown are as follows Barclays ATP World Tour Finals 0

US Open 360 Australian Open 180 Roland Garros 180 Wimbledon 10

Monte Carlo 600 Rome 360 Miami 180 Paris 90 Madrid 90 Indian Wells 45 Canada R32 45 Shanghai 10 Cincinnati 10

Barcelona 500 Washington 90

San Jose 150 Nice 150 Båstad 45

Try adding it it equals to 3,095 and on what you are saying that his points was change. Monte Carlo points is changed to 300

US Open 360 Australian Open 180 Roland Garros 180 Wimbledon 10

Monte Carlo 300 Rome 360 Miami 180 Paris 90 Madrid 90 Indian Wells 45 Canada R32 45 Shanghai 10 Cincinnati 10

Request reason:

I said sorry and have provided diffs on how the situation unfolded. There's 2 sides to every story. If you can't be bothered to do things properly then....I have never been given a fair chance or hearing. i have been jumped on every bloody time by foirengers who go round makeing the rules up and not listinig and don't like the response they get. See here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts KnowIG (talk) 11:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I was struck, reading the ANI discussion, by the problem that you were making racial attacks, then claiming that your comments weren't 'racial slurs' and were thus acceptable. I notice, in your unblock request, that you blame your problems on 'foirengers.' I assume you mean 'foreigners.' Wikipedia depends on people working cooperatively in order to function. People who don't know how to cooperate with people from other races, or other countries, harm Wikipedia, since this is an international project. My experience, in the past, with people who think in racist or xenophobic ways is that they don't change those thought patterns, or, when they do, it's intentionally, with difficulty, and over the course of years. I think that it would be bad for the project to unblock you. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:47, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:

Now you may not like the previous comment but that is the truth. Look at tennis look how many non English speakers are there they don't communicate they don't understand wikipedia. But since that's not an unblock reason I'll shut up. I am not racist. I have posted many times that the "Only got invovled cause your British" comment is what made me start keep your gob shut section, and the illadvised stupid indian comment. But you see quiet happy to endorse Bill. What he has done is accept the appology and bring things up on the 21st and 24 when it had been resolved. Since this is a case of I don't like and harrasement and bullying I suggest I am unblocked as A) it was over and B) there was an appology. I am not a racist person. See here for further evidence which the user has not responded to and is rather compelling. KnowIG (talk) 11:51, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I was quite surprised that Martijn lifted your previous indefinite block considering the disturbing e-mails you sent the unblock list, not to mention the requests on this page that resulted in it being disabled. You've repaid this very generous second chance by repeating the exact same antagonistic behavior, only stepping it up a notch by including racist insults. This is a collobrative project; if you cannot work with others without resorting to personal attacks and incoherent rants, then it is inadvisable for you to participate; Tennis related articles are simply not all that contentious relative to other topics. At this point, you don't even seem to realize why you were blocked. I would suggest taking some time off to get your act together, contribute on another project successfully, and then post an unblock request which comprehensively addresses your past behavior and how you will change it. It is just not possbile to do this right now. Kuru (talk) 12:45, 26 March 2011 (UTC) Yabba yabb yabba. Stop moving the boundaries and address what I said. There is an appoligy if you cannot realise this and sort others out then hell will come to to you

I just want you to know that I did look at that discussion for the evidence you mentioned, but I couldn't find any evidence there that you really do usually deal with conflict in a polite and reasonable way, and that the diffs I saw were just an aberration.

Reblocked

the unblock request was faster than my block notice. The following is the notice before the edit conflict x4.

Hi KnowIG, I have reblocked you indefinately. For the rationale, see the any thread. Unfortunately you haven't been able to conduct yourself in such a way that you have been able to avoid trouble, resorted back to personal attacks, incivility, and combatitiveness. In your interactions I only see antagonism instead of trying to go forward and collaborate with others. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 11:28, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

lol: About time! I saw that and was wondering when you would appear! The point is that Bill has been just as bad but choses his moment after an appology and days to harrase and to get rid of me. Not funny. I've been target as I say see the thread I linked to you etc KnowIG (talk) 11:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

This is the sort of issue that goes beyond a web site. Do you have the same kinds of problems in controlling your temper and talking politely at work, or with your friends and family? What I saw in the diffs I looked at were behavior patterns that would cause a person to get fired from a job, that would end a marriage, that would estrange friends. Wikipedia is just a web site, and not, ultimately, that important. But I hope you find a way to embrace the way of kindness before you destroy your own life. Or, if you've already destroyed it... it's never to late to embrace kindness and try again. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:51, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

I haven't destroyed myself thank you. I am young (not going to reveal my age) I did have anger problems earlier in life. But if you look at tennis it is so frustrating, and then people say, oh justify why you did that when its very clear. Anyway i have tried to control myself and its easier in real life with me as I get on with my friends alright I fell out with one of my house mates but that's because his a general twat (just meet him, don't go for me for that comment), but I don't fall out with many people now. KnowIG (talk) 12:04, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Also if you know anything about me you'll know i'm determind, ruthless and a fighter because of what I have gone through in my life the odds are always against me. KnowIG (talk) 12:36, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi KnowIG, are you familiar with the saying that "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail"? You may well have needed to be a "ruthless fighter" to deal with some things in your life, and I'm very sorry if your life has been that tough. However, if you treat everyone the same way and see everything as a battle to be won, then that is completely antagonistic to the way Wikipedia works, and you really would need to be able to leave that approach at the door when you come in here. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:31, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and RE: "Bill has been just as bad". From what I can see, no he hasn't. You seem to be upset by the "because you're British" comment, but I wouldn't take that as racist myself. If someone said that to me, I'd assume good faith and take it as a suggestion that I might have a bias in my opinion, and I'd look at the context and see if there were any possible pro- or anti-British angles to it. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:37, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

It was offensive and nobody has delt with it. Bill on here proves herrasment unblock i is needed so I can deal with him

Unforutnalty wikipedia is a battle with peple lke bill who don't listn and go round winding up and people like you who says my coment is offensive but his isnm't at the end of the day both commentsw were as bad so unblock would be helpful and i will teach you all a lesson in racism I'm completely sick of this person and his accusations. I was in impression that working on Wikipedia would be fun, but certainly users like KnowIG making it worse. So, I'd like admins to impose indefinite block on KnowIG. There you go pure hatred WIki harrasement is needed here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KnowIG (talk • contribs)

For your continuing incivility, battling and for this edit summary, I have removed your Talk page access. You absolutely cannot carry on responding to blocks in this way, as you have been told many times after all your previous blocks. So I strongly suggest you walk away from Wikipedia altogether for a while and let your anger subside. I don't want to stop you being able to talk here, but at the moment you appear to be in no fit state to. So I'll make you an offer - you still have email access, so if you wait a couple of days and then drop me a line making a commitment to only comment here civilly and to listen to constructive feedback, I'll restore your Talk page access. But please be aware that others won't be such a soft touch, and if you do get your Talk page access back, others won't be so willing the next time you have it revoked. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:19, 26 March 2011 (UTC) (Updated -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:31, 26 March 2011 (UTC))

I have tried very hard in the past month to keep my temper off, look at the netball GA very contensious with several users all POVing in there own way. Not once did i lose my temper on that page when I could have done many a times. For the people who say i can't collaborate i've done 15 i think GA reviews all of them I have worked with and not against others. Lapses happen whatever one says. It's all about eliminating the lapses and that only comes with maturity as I see the signs and cleavly use the tatic of typing my response but not actually posting it and not allowing people to wind it up and jump all over me.

Because you undid my review of your unblock request, I have removed your talk page access again. You may direct any further appeals by e-mail to WP:BASC, but if you send any disruptive e-mails, your e-mail access may be removed as well.  Sandstein  22:04, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

I have removed your e-mail access, as per the warning above, for sending disruptive e-mails.  Sandstein  05:26, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

And because you repeatedly misused your Commons account for making disruptive requests to be unblocked on this Wikipedia, you are now also blocked on Commons, as described on your talk page there.  Sandstein  11:21, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Aaron Peirsol review

I saw that you got blocked. What about the review? What should we do about that? Philipmj24 (talk) 03:01, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Keep with it I had nothing else to add on there. I can look at it and write comments here and if needed you can find someone else to pass it. But it shouldn't take too long for me to be unblocked.... KnowIG (talk) 09:35, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Ok man ... I'm still a little busy in real life and I'm hoping to get to it in a couple of weeks. I'll keep in touch. Thanks for the help man. Philipmj24 (talk) 13:12, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

GA Review: Legacy of Leonid Brezhnev

Can you review the ARTICLE NOW? --TIAYN (talk) 05:56, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Not if he's blocked he can't, no -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:40, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

I think you should renominate it. Bill william compton^Talk 23:44, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

Semi-protected

IPs in the range 2.102.x.x are reverting changes to this Talk page (the last being the removal of Bill william compton's comment aimed at assisting someone who came here looking for GA review help). They're dynamic, so there's little point blocking them, so I've semi-protected this page. KnowIG emailed me after I last reverted one of the IPs, so it seems unlikely that he has no association with them -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:45, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Actually, looking at 2.102.152.0/22, it's a fairly small range. I don't see many other edits there except for him (if any). May be the next option if he persists. Kuru (talk) 14:48, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Kuru is certainly right, he is definitely a sockmaster, I've valid proof for that (which i can provide). He even sent me abusive mails when i tried to report his sockpuppet activities which targeted me by reverting mine edits. But i didn't wanna to be in another conflict with him so i cooled down. Bill william compton^Talk 15:32, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't really know much about doing range blocks, but if it would work then that would be good. We need to be careful, though, as the IPs are part of the Talk Talk/Telecom Plus dynamic IP pool, and that's a reasonably large ISP in the UK. So far we've had edits from 2.102.154.8 and 2.102.153.233, so there may be lots of small ranges in use -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:52, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Continuous Abuse

This message is in respond to this threatening message posted on my talk page of Commons. I appeal for immediate intervention from any of concerned admins related to the block of User:KnowIG, because from this and considering past records of abusive/threatening mails and personal attacks by KnowIG and 2.102.XXX.XX IPs, it is pretty much clear that in coming future i'm going to face some serious Wikistress by the IPs in the range of 2.102.XXX.X. I'm hoping for some prompt action..Thanks Bill william compton^Talk 00:59, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Please contact admins at Commons - administrators here can't do anything, unless they are also admins at commons. --Rschen7754 01:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I guess Sandstein is admin on both, also in past i suffered attack on both Commons and English Wikipedia (Thanks to God, he doesn't use other language Wikis), so i guess whatever action would be taken it should be on both Commons and en:WP or i say on whole Wikimedia. Bill william compton^Talk 01:16, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Yep, I think I'd drop Sanstein a line. I'd help if I could, but I'm not an admin on Commons, and I don't know enough to do IP range blocks anyway -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

I've blocked two ranges at 2.102.152.0/22 and 2.102.252.0/22 for a bit - surprisingly small ranges with almost zero impact to other users. These seemed to encompass the majority of his block evasion. I can't help with Commons, but you may want to contact his ISP if you receive any threats. I'm not familiar with laws in the UK specific to harassment. Kuru (talk) 15:10, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
