Your edits

I have reverted your changes made to several articles - Kim Clijsters career statistics, Sabine Lisicki career statistics, Paola Suárez because you are making these edits with NO CONSENSUS. The changes you are trying to make affect numerous pages so should really be discussed first with other users. I suggest you start a discussion about this e.g. at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis and see if others agree first. 86.17.57.21 (talk) 17:34, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

This is 100% true. Do not continue to remove info from consensus tables. While the ITF oversees the Grand Slam tournaments, the WTA and ATP always list them as part of their tours. Tennis Project always includes them in all our career stat tables. Please do not remove them. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:50, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Also for tournaments in tables, we include the country only... not the city. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:53, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

Once again, please do not remove Grand Slam tournaments from consensus charts as you did again at Monica Puig career statistics. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:12, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

@Fyunck(click): Once again - or: CAN'T YOU READ? Someone has written: "This is a list of career statistics of Puerto Rican professional tennis player Monica Puig since her professional debut in September 2010. Puig has won one WTA singles title, as well as the gold medal in the women's singles tournament at the 2016 Summer Olympics." - and this is correct! On the other way, of course you probably entered the sandbox first, and therefore...YoungDylan (talk) 07:40, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Per the WTA she has won TWO singles titles or perhaps you can't read the WTA website? The Olympics and Grand Slam tournaments are part of the WTA Tour and part of their records. Please don't remove them. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:43, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

I love those discussions! But: No answer to my question...YoungDylan (talk) 07:55, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Which exact question? Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:02, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

when you go to "edit" (monica puig career statistic) you see THIS: "Olympic medals are not awarded by the WTA" ; and together with the text that's exactly to what I followed... - YoungDylan (talk) 08:13, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

and when you go to WTA stat side http://www.wtatennis.com/players/player/317755/title/monica-puig-0 - you see: 1 wta title!!!YoungDylan (talk) 08:16, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Interesting observation. Under bio she has two, and under matches it lists it and calls it a WTA event. It is part of the WTA and ATP Tour schedule and we include it by consensus in our charts. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:15, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

but under bio she doesn't claim "WTA title"! and we should follow the official WTA stat - but obviously you don't WANT to follow...?-YoungDylan (talk) 11:31, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Knock off the snottiness or this conversation will end abruptly. Under matches it says WTA. And it is part of the WTA Tour which is what our charts go by. It is consensus that we include it. If you want to change that, by all means bring it up at Tennis Project talk and convince everyone to change our charts. Until that time do not remove the info and go against our guidelines. Fyunck(click) (talk) 12:57, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

And one other thing. The WTA website was recently revamped and there are quite a few errors, as that one item with Puig shows. You can also look up Steffi Graf where it shows she has 107 WTA singles titles. Well those 107 WTA titles include all her Grand Slam tournaments, and her Olympic victory. Same with Jennifer Capriati. The WTA site shows 14 WTA singles titles, which INCLUDES the Olympics. So they missed one on Puig... no big deal, we have it correct here. Fyunck(click) (talk) 13:08, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

And beyond your incredidible kindness: it's simply NOT part of the WTA TOUR - neither the Olympics nor the Grand Slams...-YoungDylan (talk) 15:18, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

If you mean they are not sponsored by the WTA, that is true... they are ITF sponsored events. But they are on the WTA Tour calendar of tournaments and they give WTA points (not the Olympics in 2016). The 2016 WTA Tour calendar included 56 WTA sponsored events, tennis in the Olympic Games, and the four Majors. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:07, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

Complaint about your edits on my talk page

Please see a complaint about your edits at User talk:EdJohnston#Help needed with new-ish editor. As an admin, I am sometimes asked to look at cases where consensus is being ignored. The thread above at User talk:YoungDylan#Your edits makes it seem you are reluctant to take any feedback. You can respond to the complaint if you wish. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 13:23, 27 October 2017 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at various articles about tennis players shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach a dead end, you can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.-- Toddy1 (talk) 11:11, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

January 2018

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ekaterina Makarova, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. This has been explained to you multiple times.... DO NOT REMOVE THE TERM "Professional" from tennis articles. This will be reported to administration next time Fyunck(click) (talk) 11:12, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Ingrid Neel, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scottsdale (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

January 2018

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Marta Sirotkina, you may be blocked from editing. Again, removal of the term professional. This has been explained time and time again, and discussed at Tennis Project. STOP THE REMOVAL OF CONTENT. Fyunck(click) (talk) 19:58, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

February 2018

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Lara Arruabarrena. With the pretext of making many edits to an article, this edit is removing all instances of the word "professional" from the lead of multiple professional tennis players. He has been warned many times and it was talked about at Tennis Project. I'm at my limit as to what to do other than administrative help. I'm done with reverting or having to constantly re-write in the word "Professional." Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:07, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

One more blanket removal of the term "Professional" and I will bring this to the Administration Notice Board. I have held back and held back because you also make good contributions. But I've now had it with having to re-write in the word "professional" at articles where you have removed it. I'm not doing it anymore, I'm letting administrators handle any punishment against consensus removal of the term. Please stop before I have to take this further. Fyunck(click) (talk) 11:03, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours to the page Olga Savchuk has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. The summaries are helpful to people browsing an article's history, so it is important that you use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did. Feel free to use the sandbox to make test edits. Thank you. Wolbo (talk) 16:31, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Olga Savchuk, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Wolbo (talk) 16:31, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

WTA tables

Please stop removing the grand slam section from the wta tables. They should be and always have been included. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GeneM18 (talk • contribs) 11:07, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

@GeneM18: He looks to be removing the Olympics also (such as from Monica Puig career statistics. This has been discussed before and is vandalism. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:16, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

Removing vital info and no closing bold

Please look over all the charts at Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines to make sure you conform to proper guidelines. You have been removing country names, removing closing bold, changing partner to partnering, changing result to outcome, etc. And since you do multiple things in a single edit I have to wind up reverting all of it. Please be careful. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:36, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Once again you made some good edit while removing mandatory html. Closing html bold is required. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:59, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

September 2018

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Monica Puig career statistics‎, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Some of what you are doing is fine, but you can't keep removing required html markup such as closing bold quote-marks. I see this has been explained to you at least twice before. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:49, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Monica Puig career statistics, you may be blocked from editing. If you keep making edits while removing required html you are gonna get blocked. I have made corrections in the past when you have removed html content and you have been warned in the past about it. This is a final chance. Fix the removal of content yourself at Monica Puig career statistics or an administrator will be called to do it for you. I'm not digging through and fixing your removals again. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:46, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

You could finally tell us WHAT is wrong there??? YoungDylan 05:48, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

I have told you in the past, I have told you in the previous two warnings, I have told you in the edit summaries. If you don't fix it, administration will come a knocking. Please fix it yourself and stop creating these problems. HTML markup must be closed, it can't be open ended. If There is opening ''' there must be closing '''. Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:03, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

Removal of Dollar Signs

Hello YoungDylan. Please do not remove US$ from non-US players. It is not clear whether the "$" refers to US dollars or the currency from a player's native country. Thank you. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 06:35, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

prize money on WTA Tour is always in US$!-YoungDylan 07:21, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

That's not totally true. European tournaments (such as the French Open) award prize money in Euros. Meanwhile, British tournaments (such as Wimbledon) award prize money in pounds. It's true that the WTA Tour website always lists prize money in US dollars, but it's not clear to readers who are not familiar with tennis that Wikipedia does the same. Sportsfan77777 (talk) 20:43, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

...always the awful poor readers... yes, they're so silly... but we...!!!-06:59, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Colorblind and sight challenged read wikipedia also

Those tiers are required because per wikipedia and tennis guidelines, color can't be the only way to convey information. Colorblind and sight challenged need those tiers and it is consensus guidelines at Tennis Project. First you go against required closing html where someone else took the time to fix your error, and now you go against the blind. Please stop this. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:18, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

Here are two pages you should always check before removing content from tennis charts...

• Tennis Project Guidelines
• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines

I hope this helps you understand. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:46, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

I'll let you know right now. The next time you remove these things like dollar signs, html code, charts that help the colorblind, it's going straight to the administrators board. I've about had it here in trying to explain things. I'm trying one more warning. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:14, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

September 2018

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Monica Puig career statistics. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continual disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. This has been told to you multiple times as plainly as I can make it. This is per accessibility guidelines and Tennis Guidelines. Please stop. Fyunck(click) (talk) 10:09, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
