FA and GA tennis tournament articles
Hi mate, I noticed your discussion on the tennis wikiproject about improving tennis articles to GA and FA status. I was wondering if you could help with some of the tournament articles, using the structure outlined here. Let me know on my talk page if you need any help. You could start with the articles for this year's WTA or ATP tournaments. 03md (talk) 23:18, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Williams Sisters Rivalry
- You can use photos at Serena and Venus' categories at Commons for the article. DeMoN2009 20:45, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for creating Peter Bodo
It was an article I had thought of doing, but I'm glad you did it. Nice job!
I see you're pretty new around here. One tip: use the refTools gadget. It makes creating neatly formatted citations really, really easy with only a little more effort than just pasting a link. Go to prefs->Gadgets to enable it and then you'll see the "CITE" button on your editing toolbar. I also recommend the wikEd editor, much better than the default text editor. But wikEd takes some time to get used to.
Cheers, mate. --Armchair info guy (talk) 22:40, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, you write a great page but there miss two matches: 2008 US Open QF and YEC RR. Would you like to add and make the page greater?

]Trouble with user
Hi there, I was wondering if you were still having problems with User:Tennis expert as I seem to be having. He has accused me of having sockpuppets (which I do not have) because some of my edits have been made before I have logged in i.e. through our IP address. He has also suggested that I am affiliated with musiclover123, a false allegation. On numerous occasions I have tried to leave messages concerning tennis on his talk page but he instantly reverts them, despite my requests being for the good of the wikiproject. My recent post was this:
"Hi mate, I have been working hard on individual year templates for the ATP Tour (e.g. Template:1990 ATP Tour, Grand Prix tennis circuit (e.g. Template:1985 Nabisco Grand Prix and WCT circuit (e.g. Template:1973 World Championship Tennis circuit as well as some WTA templates. The majority of the links on them should be accurate but I was wondering if you could check through the completed templates. Some pre-ATP era tournaments are simply recorded as "[Place name] Open" and I have also been unable to find some of the tournament sponsor names, such as the name of the San Francisco tournament known as the SAP Open. Thanks. 03md 23:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)"
"By the way, could you stop reverting my attempts to get some positive feedback. I still have no idea why you were accusing me before and I only want to get a complete tennis history section. It has really put me off editing on here and feel that you have been ignoring
]If you have any knowledge of this period of tournaments it would be great if you could look at the templates as I am going to get nowhere with the other user. Cheers - let me know on my talkpage. 03md 07:58, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I've had problems with him/her as well. Try to assume good faith though, regardless. Like you, he accused me of being a sockpuppet (in a singular show of 'bad faith' IMO). Just understand that a) there have been NUMEROUS users that have had issues with him (this helped me realize it wasn't personal, just a way of communicating and editing; b) since the interactions were bothering me so much I have stopped directly engaging, and instead through edits, which I find more productive; and c) there is genuine desire to improve wiki articles on Mr. Expert's part, he/she's just a bit 'different' when it comes to what I call cooperative, civil interactions. So yeah, while it would be nice, if it's bothering you I'd avoid direct questions/suggestions and open them up instead to the tennis village at large. AlonsornunezComments 10:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

RfC
Hi, I noticed that you tried to start an RfC on the whole dispute. However, you need to put some comment in that section in an attempt to kick off the discussion. I think you might have just misread one part of the RfC instruction page.
Good luck with it and all, though. You'll notice that I've responded to your new thread at EAR, though so has Tennis Expert. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 10:00, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Serena Williams
Hi Alonso. I think the best thing I can do is review the article from a GAN/FAC perspective to pick out what the community at large would say should the article ever be nominated. Another thing we can do is to take the article to

RFC
It's worth sending out calling notices to everyone concerned in these disruptive edits so they are aware that an RFC is being conducted. Also, get your diffs ready. Let me know when you're up and running, and use User:Mendaliv for a good outside perspective as I guess most active tennis contributors would not be able to provide a completely balanced view if you get my drift... The Rambling Man (talk) 18:08, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
Be sure and let me know when you start this. I have been compiling evidence about the behavior of yourself and certain others that should be considered in the RFC, too. Thanks. Tennis expert (talk) 19:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure you'll be the first to know Tennis expert! The Rambling Man (talk) 19:07, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- That should be a perfectly adequate starting point. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:27, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, got the note. Fill in the RFC and I'll join in when required. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- FYI, Alonso, when providing diffs, you want to change "oldid=" to "diff="; that way you can see what changed between the edits and what the edit summary was. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 20:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I think you're fine to fill those out yourself. Just the outside view and responses sections are for others to write as far as I can tell. If all else fails, give Mendaliv a shout? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:05, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- I've added an outside view already... I genuinely hope this RfC can help get Tennis expert to contribute more constructively. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 21:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
- Oh and another thing; you're going to want to list the RfC at WP:RFC/U, I think in the "Candidate pages" section for now. I suggest following the pattern of the RfCs in the Approved pages section for listing it on that page. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 00:16, 27 April 2009 (UTC)]

Hello. As a significant contributor to this article during its recent drive towards
Good golly...
I don't think I had seen this AfD before you posted about it to the ANI thread: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Williams Sisters rivalry. The more I find in the backstory of Tennis expert's treatment of sockpuppets, the more amazed I get. I don't get his seemingly-instantaneous bad faith assumption that you're Musiclover565. I'm... extremely disappointed in his manner of treating inexperienced users (not intended as a dig at you, of course). The more I look into this new matter that I've been exploring, the more I feel it's intricately connected to the issues at RfC. But... I have no idea where to proceed at this point. What are your thoughts? —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 19:11, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Tennis Wikitables!
The wikitables for the U.S. Open and the Australian Open do not match, and need to be changed to be in line with wikipedia's consistency standards. The navbox and infobox for the Australian are in yellow yet in the wikitables they are blue, and the U.S. Open the navbox and infobox is blue yet in the wikitables it is yellow. This is inconsistent usage of color if color is to be applied on wikipedia it has to be consistent. The new wikitables say on the Serena Williams and Pete Sampras pages do not match the others and need to be reverted back to have wins in the top and the runner's up in the lower. Not all condenced into one wikitable. This can and could be rather confusing to the un-trained eye. Wikipedia is about making content accessible and easily readable to the user and the experienced editors on here. The lack of standards when it comes to the Tennis Project and articles needs to be made mainstreamed like the Golf Project is doing to their articles. Thanks for listening!
