"'''12 and a Half Angry Men'''" is the sixteenth episode of the [[Family Guy (season 11)|eleventh season]] and the 204th overall episode of the [[Animated cartoon|animated]] [[Television comedy|comedy series]] ''[[Family Guy]]''. It aired on [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] in the United States on March 24, 2013, and is written by [[Ted Jessup]] and directed by Pete Michels.<ref>{{cite web |title=Family Guy Episode Guide 2013 Season 11 - 12 and a Half Angry Men, Episode 16 |url=http://www.tvguide.com/tvshows/family-guy-2013/episode-16-season-11/12-and-a-half-angry-men/100148 |publisher=TVGuide.com |date= |access-date=2013-03-29}}</ref> In the episode, Mayor Adam West is brought on trial for murder. Brian Griffin is on the jury and tries to clear his name. The episode was inspired by the 1957 film classic ''[[12 Angry Men (1957 film)|12 Angry Men]]''.

==Plot==
When an aide to Mayor [[Adam West]] is found stabbed to death, evidence that the victim attempted to blackmail the Mayor suggests the Mayor as a suspect, and he is put on trial for murder. The jury selected for the trial consists of [[Peter Griffin|Peter]], [[Brian Griffin|Brian]], [[Glenn Quagmire|Quagmire]], [[Mort Goldman]], [[List of Family Guy characters#Tom Tucker|Tom Tucker]], [[Herbert (Family Guy)|Herbert]], [[Carter Pewterschmidt|Carter]], [[Dr. Hartman]], Seamus, Bruce, Carl, and Consuela. Brian is the only one voting "not guilty" and he tries to persuade his fellow jurors that there is a reasonable doubt of the Mayor's guilt. His insistence frustrates the others who do not trust the Mayor because he is a politician. Brian's examination of the evidence leads him to notice the paper on which the blackmail note was written matches a love letter he received from Quagmire's transgender father after they had sex. Since the paper was from the Marriot, and not from the Mayor's office to which the victim had access, Brian implied this means Mayor West was framed. Brian agrees that if no one is convinced of the possibility of the Mayor's innocence then he will change his vote, but the vote comes up with an agreement from Herbert that there is a chance of innocence. The other jurors just want to go home. Bruce calls for a break and Quagmire berates Brian for not going along when he had the chance.

Back in the jury room, Brian questions the witness's testimony of seeing the crime during an [[orgy]]. Quagmire tries to prove that it could really happen but finds that Brian may be on to something when his demonstration proves that the witness's position could not have allowed her to look out a window during the orgy, admitting that Brian was right. The jury finds itself deadlocked at 6-6 and Tom Tucker still holds out for a guilty verdict, due to being a bigot towards people without mustaches, until Dr. Hartman convinces him otherwise. Peter changes his vote after he finds out what "guilty" means. Later, with Carter as the lone holdout for a guilty verdict, Brian challenges his thought until Carter reveals that he felt betrayed by the Mayor, for he always endorsed West yet was not allowed to sink most of Quahog in order to further his real estate developing plans. Carter breaks down into tears and gives in on his guilty vote. Acquitted of the crime, Mayor West resumes his duties. Back at the Griffin home, Stewie is unsatisfied that they merely proved Mayor West was innocent; he reveals that more murders have occurred, proving that a maniac is still on the loose. The lights go out, prompting Stewie to say, "And we're dead."

==Reception==
The episode received a 2.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic and was watched by a total of 5.16 million viewers. This made it the most watched show on Fox's [[Animation Domination]] line-up that night, beating ''[[The Simpsons]]'', ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'' and ''[[The Cleveland Show]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/03/26/sunday-final-ratings-once-upon-a-time-celebrity-apprentice-adjusted-up-unscrambled-cbs/174983/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130328103948/http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/03/26/sunday-final-ratings-once-upon-a-time-celebrity-apprentice-adjusted-up-unscrambled-cbs/174983/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=2013-03-28 |title=Sunday Final Ratings: 'Once Upon a Time' & 'Celebrity Apprentice' Adjusted Up + Unscrambled CBS |publisher=Tvbythenumbers |date=2013-03-24 |access-date=2013-03-29}}</ref> The episode was met with mixed reviews from critics.

==relation to 1992 book==
I had added a section on the relation of the AM website to the AM Guide book published in 1992, which had been deleted with a comment that it was irrelevant. I don't think it's irrelevant at all b/c 1) it fills in the history of the data & AM's transition from a paper-based to internet-based service, and 2) it documents the fact that the classical music info. was cut during this transition. If a reader is looking at the page in order to evaluate a music guide, they should know that there's actually much more info. on classical music available in the book version (which is still widely held by libraries etc.).

==website is often slow or totally inaccessible==
Their website is great, but its very important to note that their website has a consistent track record of loading pages very slowly, and often not at all. I've added a note to about this in the article. This is not an issue specific to my computer or connection as I've encountered their site's terribly poor performance from many different computers in many different types of setups, different browsers, different locations and different types of net connections, so it's not an isolated issue. —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/69.3.194.53|69.3.194.53]] ([[User talk:69.3.194.53|talk]]) 03:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC) 

I second that. I can't think of any other high profile site with such poor networking performance. I have no ideea what kept them from doing anything about this for over 2 years now, if I'm not mistaken. [[User:Yang|Yang]] ([[User talk:Yang|talk]]) 20:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

==Ad?==
Compared with the entry on [[Gracenote]], this sounds like advertising. Like it's written by a blurbwriter. I guess it's hard to edit something as elusive as style though. [[User:81.156.49.248|81.156.49.248]] 02:46, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What about how they rate some albums without a review. Who gives these ratings? Also, there are some written reviews that differ somewhat in tone from the numerical rating. (i.e., a glowing review but a mediocre rating.)--[[User:65.32.93.18|65.32.93.18]] 21:06, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

All Music, however, does have a few errors. For example, in the case of [[Elton John]]'s album "Greatest Hits Volume 2", the guide states that it was released in 1986 instead of 1977, and the track listing only shows the tracks from the 1992 reissue of the album (which replaced two songs with two different songs). Also, a common error in the listings is albums that were released before 1983 being listed with CD releases at the time of the albums original release. [[User:THollan]]

::Didn't you mean to say "a few thousand errors"? [[User:Monicasdude|Monicasdude]] 13:03, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

::Yers. It's dead handy, but you have to take it with a pinch of salt. The entry on [[Ultravox]] [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:ridxlfke5cqw~T1] doesn't mention their only real claim to fame, the single "Vienna", the feature-length entry for the [[Penguin Cafe Orchestra]] [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:26zsa9qgb230~T1] fails to give ''any information whatsoever'' about the group other than its name and the name of its second album, which is in turn identified in its article as the group's debut [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:sy5zefikhgfn], the article on [[Throbbing Gristle]]'s ''20 Jazz Funk Greats'' praises it for a song ("Hamburger Lady") which was on the previous album, and the articles for British and other non-US acts tend to start with "Although NAMEOFBAND was never particularly popular in America, the group had several hits in their native country". And if I see the awful word 'sophomore' once more I will hurt myself with a pen. The rest of the world hates America enough without you having to destroy our music.-[[User:Ashley Pomeroy|Ashley Pomeroy]] 22:06, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

::: Whoa, chill, mate. The AMG has some errors. Some several thousand, perhaps. But for that matter, Wikipedia has some errors...and, yes, some several thousand, perhaps. That doesn't mean it isn't a valuable source of information. You just have to view things critically (no pun intended), and realize that, like Wikipedia, information beyond bare facts on relatively obscure artists is never going to be perfect. Although one thing you have to keep in mind is that sometimes US and UK versions of albums differ, so perhaps the track was on the US version of the album. Furthermore, sometimes albums never get release in the US, so an American debut might be a UK '''''sophomore''''' effort. Unlike Wikipedia, however, it is a site made exclusively by Americans, so US-centric points of view are to be expected! And, of course, vocabulary too. I think you need to relax a little. I mean, I don't have the inclination to hurt myself with a pen every time I see a British website prattle on about "[[Manchester United]] Football". It still takes a minute to register: "oh, they mean THAT kind of [[football (soccer)|football]]...not '[[football]]' as in ''[[American football|football]]''". I'm sure you're "taking the piss", as you British say, when you talk about how the rest of the world hates America and you hate us even more because of a website...at least to a degree, I would hope. But if you ''really'' hate it so much, hey, I'm sure you could register [http://www.UKCentricMusicGuideThatNeverOnceUsesTheWordSophomore.co.uk http://www.UKCentricMusicGuideThatNeverOnceUsesTheWordSophomore.co.uk] [[User:StarryEyes|StarryEyes]] 05:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

== Prominent Genre Sourcing ==

This comment is to start a discussion about AMGs prominence as a reference for musical genres. I have used AMG for much research although it seems to be hardly the last word. Since AMG figures so highly into what music critics are using as reference material i think it is important to note their influence in the AMG article. Since they are free to publish what they want and it might not be sufficiently referenced or cross checked, they have the tendency (in my opinion) to publish slightly sub-standard genre descriptions and are usually 2-3 years behind on their band biographies. These problems may be only apparent on their allmusic.com website, while the actually database may contain more in-depth information. Since I dont have access to the database I couldn't say. However since the allmusic.com site is one of the main sources for referencing music info, I thought it should be noted. [[User:Xsxex|Xsxex]] 06:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree with you on their substandard genre listings.

In my opinion, this site has little if any veracity as a reliable source and should not be used as one, as it has demonstrated a serious lack of knowledge about genre definitions over a long period of time. Wiki is crippling itself by using it as one of its main sources. [[Special:Contributions/216.107.197.3|216.107.197.3]] ([[User talk:216.107.197.3|talk]]) 17:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/216.107.197.115|216.107.197.115]] ([[User talk:216.107.197.115|talk]])  

:Throughout Wikipedia we should stop accepting Allmusic as a source for genre info.
:Allmusic's taxonomy of genres is one of many on the web, and to their credit, it is certainly one of the most comprehensive, at least for popular music. But it often makes dubious connections between disparate genres, dumps artists in too-broad genres, or flat-out invents new genre names (like "post disco") just to fill in gaps and to have a place to file every artist & song under, without regard for how anyone else in the world categorizes the music. It's entirely ''their'' system for categorizing artists & songs. They also paid people (at one time, credited on each page, now anonymous) to write a little description of each of the genres in a way that acknowledges the links they set up. Sometimes the info is correct or at least plausible, but other times, it's reaching quite a bit.
:Inevitably, articles were created on Wikipedia to mirror Allmusic's taxonomy, and used Allmusic as their primary source of info. Some of these have since been beefed up with additional, much more academic and reliable sources which confirm some of Allmusic's claims. Others are still floundering, relying on and repeating Allmusic's claims as fact. I've seen attempts to delete the articles about Allmusic-invented genres, or prune Allmusic's influence from other articles, meet with resistance from those who seem convinced of Allmusic's authority and who feel Allmusic meets the letter of the law, as it were, for third-party publications that can be cited.
:I'd like to see if we could get consensus for at least defaulting to saying "no" to using Allmusic as a source for genre info on Wikipedia. What do you all think? —[[User:Mjb|mjb]] ([[User talk:Mjb|talk]]) 02:40, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I beg to differ, there have been so many bad cases of genres on Allmusic. For instance [[Falling in Reverse]] is called Screamo, anyone could tell thats wrong. Also [[Escape the Fate]] has been Nu-Metal and Heavy metal, That is so incorrect its infuriating. Also [[The Agony Scene]] has been called Heavy Metal...they're deathcore and metalcore. Another example [[A Smile from the Trenches]] has been called Pop Punk, Emo-pop, and Pop, thats so wrong, plus the website calls them Smile from the Trenches, and A Smile from the Trenches are, Screamo, emocore, posthardcore, alternative rock and metalcore.

== Reviews by Rovi? ==

I've noticed that some of the newer reviews, mainly for older albums that I guess AMG missed when they came out, are attributed simply to "Rovi" (for example: [http://www.allmusic.com/album/before-their-eyes-mw0000572772 1], [http://www.allmusic.com/album/come-now-sleep-mw0000780137 2], [http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-great-depression-mw0000306758 3], you get the idea). Aside from not having star ratings, they seem to have about the same writing style as the rest of the site's reviews. Do such pieces meet [[WP:RS]] like the rest of AllMusic, or is the lack of attribution to an actual human being a problem?--[[User:Invisiboy42293|Invisiboy42293]] ([[User talk:Invisiboy42293|talk]]) 02:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
:I think it defiantly needs human attribution - going by [[Rovi Corporation]] the entries could be from some kinda database, and "Rovi" isn't sufficient attribution to be reliable. But [[WP:RSN]] is probably the place to get proper input on this. '''Яehevkor''' <big>[[User talk:Rehevkor|✉]]</big> 08:41, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

:It's a good question, I've also wondered about that. Through the magic of Google, I think I've found the common thread: it looks as though these articles all come word for word from the former [[Muze]] service, whose assets [[Rovi]] acquired in 2009. For your three examples, see [http://cb.bargainmatch.com/overview/Before-Their-Eyes-Before-Their-Eyes--5VKOk0hjpY here], [http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Come-Now-Sleep---CD/8440546.p?id=1654583&skuId=8440546#tabbed-release-notes here (in Details tab)], and [http://www.ebay.com/itm/Great-Depression-Blindside-CD-/170870458310 here]. Given that Muze's primary business here was selling album descriptions to online retailers, I would view these reviews as pure sales talk when it comes to any words of praise or good/bad judgement calls, and for notability discussions, essentially worthless. --[[User:Hobbes Goodyear|Hobbes Goodyear]] ([[User talk:Hobbes Goodyear|talk]]) 12:38, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

:::Luckily, the Rovi reviews don't seem to have much indispensable material for sourcing, so that's not a problem. As far as Artistdirect vs. Muze, knowing only a cursory amount about either service, the former seems to have a significant journalistic focus, such as exclusive song releases and artist interviews, and also attributes their articles to actual people.

[https://getsatisfaction.com/allmusic/topics/question_for_website_owners I have contacted AllMusic and an official representative has responded that the preferred capitalisation of their website is '''AllMusic'''.]

In addition, the website is capitalised as '''AllMusic''':

* [http://blog.rovicorp.com/2012/05/31/allmusic-turns-up-the-dial-on-music-discovery/ in a blog post] by [[AllRovi]], the company who owns the website.

: Googlenews is an index of the most reliable news sources online. What does reliability have to do with this discussion? It's merely being used to gauge the usage of "Allmusic" by those reliable sources. It's not being used as a source to cite some sentence in a Wikipedia article.

'''St Joseph's Secondary School, Tulla''' is an Irish [[co-educational]] [[secondary school]] located in [[Tulla]], [[County Clare]]. It is a [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] secondary school under the trusteeship of [[Catholic Education an Irish Schools Trust|CEIST]] (Catholic Education, an Irish Schools Trust).

== History ==

Secondary education began in Tulla in 1950, when 38 students enrolled in the [[Sisters of Mercy]] school behind the church. The first Leaving Certificate class graduated in 1954. Work on a new school began in 1956 and was completed the following year at a cost of £12,000. At that time 100 students were on the school rolls.

Due to expanding enrolment as a result of free second-level education it was decided to move to a new location in 1970 at Fogarty's Cross. The school worked on a split site for a while until the building was completed in 1985.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sjt.ie/index.php/history|title=History|last=Administrator|website=sjt.ie|access-date=9 September 2016}}</ref>

'''St Joseph's Secondary School, Tulla''' is an Irish [[co-educational]] [[secondary school]] located in [[Tulla]], [[County Clare]]. It is a [[Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] secondary school under the trusteeship of [[Catholic Education an Irish Schools Trust|CEIST]] (Catholic Education, an Irish Schools Trust)

== History ==

Secondary education began in Tulla in 1950, when 38 students enrolled in the [[Sisters of Mercy]] school behind the church. The first Leaving Certificate class graduated in 1954. Work on a new school began in 1956 and was completed the following year at a cost of £12,000. At that time 100 students were on the school rolls.

Due to expanding enrolment as a result of free second-level education it was decided to move to a new location in 1970 at Fogarty's Cross. The school worked on a split site for a while until the building was completed in 1985.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sjt.ie/index.php/history|title=History|last=Administrator|website=sjt.ie|access-date=9 September 2016}}</ref>

'''Kilmacud Crokes''' ({{lang-ir|Cill Mochuda Na Crócaigh}}) is a large [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] club located in [[Stillorgan]], Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

==Background==
[[File:GlenalbynStillorgan.jpg|thumb|left|Kilmacud Crokes club house]]
Kilmacud GAA club was formed in 1959 following a historic public meeting in Saint Laurence's Hall, where Stillorgan shopping centre now stands. The first meeting of the club took place on 12 March 1959.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History">{{cite web|url = https://kilmacudcrokes.com/club/history| publisher = Kilmacud Crokes GAA |title = Kilmacud Crokes GAA History| website = www.kilmacudcrokes.com//|access-date=2020-08-17}}</ref> Sixty people attended the meeting and donated a shilling each, meaning the club made [[Irish pound|IR£]]3.30 on the night. The club decided to use green-and-white jerseys, but they later decided to use the gold-and-purple colours, some say because of the local school Scoil Lorcain Naofa who also use gold and purple,<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> others say it was because blue are the colours of the [[crocus]].

In 1963 the club purchased a {{frac|6|1|2}}-acre site behind the [[Ormonde Cinema]] as a permanent home pitch for themselves, Páirc de Burca, and in 1965 the adjoining [[Glenalbyn]] House was bought. In April 1966, Crokes hurling club joined up with Kilmacud football club.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> The name of the joint football/hurling teams was changed from Kilmacud G.A.A. club to Kilmacud Crokes G.A.A. club in 1971. In 1972, St. Benburbs Football Club of [[Clonskeagh]] joined with Kilmacud Crokes.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> <ref name="Model club still intent on making history">{{cite web|url = https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/model-club-still-intent-on-making-history-1.705046| publisher = The Irish Times |title = Model club still intent on making history| website = www.irishtimes.com//|access-date=2020-08-17}}</ref> St. Benburbs FC was famous because the first-ever All-Ireland Final was played on their ground in Clonskeagh in 1887. In 1973, a [[camogie]] section of the club was set up<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> and in February 1996 a [[Ladies' Gaelic football]] Section was set up.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/>

The club has installed an astro-turf GAA pitch at ''the paddock'', an area formerly used as a carpark/training ground, a venture which was finished in September 2006, and constructed indoor and outdoor hurling walls during 2007.

The current football Senior team is managed by Robbie Brennan and Johnny Magee.
[[Anthony Daly (hurler)|Anthony Daly]] is the current hurling coach.

==The Sevens==
Kilmacud Crokes are also famous as the hosts of the ''Sevens'' football and hurling competitions each year. Separate competitions are held on the weekends of the various All-Ireland Finals in September.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens">
{{cite web|url = https://www.gaa.ie/search/crawl/news/kilmacud-crokes-all-ireland-hurling-sevens| publisher = The GAA|title = Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens| website = www.gaa.ie|access-date=2020-08-17}}</ref>
For example, the Football competition is held on the Saturday before the [[All-Ireland]] Football final and the Hurling competition is held on the Saturday before the [[All-Ireland]] Hurling final. The Sevens were first played in 1973<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens"/> and have since become an integral part of the All-Ireland weekends and feature on sports news programmes. Famous players and officials from the GAA are normally present on the day. Discussions and previews of the All-Ireland final on the following day are the subject of a lot of the media broadcasts.

The competitions run from the morning through to the evening. The games are played at various locations in and around [[Stillorgan]] including ''Glenalbyn'', ''[[Mount Merrion#Deer Park|Deer Park]]'', ''[[St Benildus College]]'', ''[[Naomh Ólaf CLG|St Olaf's]]'' and ''Silverpark''. The finals are always played in Glenalbyn. The games are played with teams of seven players with two-halves of ten minutes each. Erin's Own of [[Cork GAA|Cork]] and Castlewellan of [[Down GAA|Down]] were crowned Hurling and Football Sevens Champions for 2006 respectively. [[Longstone GAC|Longstone]] of Down won the 2007 football competition.

==Record==

===1990s===
Kilmacud Crokes won the [[All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship]] final on [[St. Patrick's Day]], 1995 under the management of [[Tommy Lyons]].<ref name="Model club still intent on making history"/> Kilmacud Crokes, captained by Mick Dillon, beat [[Bellaghy GAC|Bellaghy]] of [[Derry GAA|Derry]] with a scoreline of 0–8 to 0–5 in front of 18,544 fans at [[Croke Park]]. Mick Pender famously saved [[Damian Cassidy]]'s (Bellaghy) penalty and won the title for Kilmacud. The game will be remembered as one of the coldest days club football final history.

Another county title followed in 1998. Crokes beat [[Na Fianna GAA|Na Fianna]] in the final. Wins over [[James Stephens GAA|James Stephens]], [[Kilkenny]] and [[Stradbally]], [[Laois]] set up one of the most memorable [[Leinster]] club finals in recent years. Crokes played three games against [[Éire Óg GAA (Carlow)|Éire Óg]], [[Carlow]]; they eventually lost however.

===2000s===
Crokes won the Dublin championship in 2004. Crokes were nearly disqualified from the 2005 championship due to confusion over the eligibility of player [[Mark Vaughan]]. Crokes had defeated 2003 champions, [[St Brigid's GAA (Dublin)|St Brigid's]], it was claimed that [[Mark Vaughan]] was ineligible for the tie. Crokes claimed that they had received prior approval that Vaughan could play from the Dublin county board, who said the ''Dublin Championships'' and ''The Leinster Championships'' were different competitions. The Leinster council overruled the Dublin county board. St Brigid's offered Crokes a replay under one condition, that Vaughan could not play. He scored six points in Crokes' original one-point victory over Brigid's. He had received the red card that caused the ban in the previous years defeat to [[Portlaoise]]. The [[DRA (GAA)|DRA]] eventually awarded Crokes the match after agreeing that the two competitions were different. By this time Crokes' side of the draw was three games behind the other side of the draw. Kilmacud went on to win the 2005 [[Dublin Senior Club Football Championship|Dublin Championship]] following a comprehensive 1–14 to 0–09 victory over [[Na Fianna CLG|Na Fianna]] and added to their success by winning the Leinster Championship following a 0–10 to 0–09 victory over Newbridge at [[Páirc Tailteann|Navan]]. Crokes were defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final by Salthill-Knocknacarra on a scoreline of 1–09 to 1–07. Mark Vaughan was shown a straight red card, having already been on a yellow, for striking a Salthill player. In 2006 and 2007, Crokes narrowly lost out in the semi-final stage of the [[Dublin]] championship. They lost to [[UCD GAA|UCD]] and [[St Vincents GAA|St Vincents]], respectively. On 27 October 2008, Kilmacud won their sixth [[Dublin Senior Football Championship]] at [[Parnell Park]]. On 7 December 2008 Kilmacud won the Leinster Senior Football Championship for the third time, beating Rhode of Offaly by a scoreline of 2–07 to 1–07. They ensured their place in the All-Ireland final with a two-goal victory over Corofin of Galway on 21 February, and eventually defeated [[Crossmaglen Rangers]] of [[Armagh GAA|Armagh]] to win the final. Kilmacud also went on to win the Dublin Senior Championship with a victory over St Brigid's in 2010, before bowing out in the All-Ireland series to [[Crossmaglen Rangers]] at the semi-final stage.

===2020s===
Kilmacud Crokes won the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship final in [[2022–23 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship|2023]] defeating Derry champions [[Watty Graham's GAC, Glen|Glen]] 1-11 to 1-09.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kilmacud Crokes hold off late Glen surge to claim All-Ireland title |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/2023/01/22/dublin-champions-kilmacud-crokes-hold-off-late-glen-surge-to-claim-all-ireland-title/ |access-date=2023-01-24 |website=The Irish Times |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2023/0122/1350126-all-ireland-club-final-kilmacud-crokes-v-glen-updates/|title=All-Ireland club final: Kilmacud Crokes 1-11 Glen 1-09 - recap|date=21 January 2023|work=RTE Sport|accessdate=27 January 2023}}</ref> However the match caused significant controversy as Kilmacud had an extra player on the pitch during the last play of the game, breaching rule 2.1 of the GAA rulebook.

===Youth===
Kilmacud Crokes has won the All-Ireland Football Féile final three times, the first of these coming in 2003, the second in 2008 and the third in 2019. The hurlers added to the club's success with an All-Ireland Hurling Féile of their own in 2005. This hurling victory was the first time in the club's history that they had won the Dublin Hurling Féile and only the second time a Dublin Club had won the All-Ireland Féile. In 2014 the hurlers won Dublin and All-Ireland Hurling Féile titles.

In 2008 the U-14A hurling team again reached the All-Ireland Féile group stages, but after a tough match in the pouring rain they lost to James Stephens from Kilkenny. The U-14A footballers enjoyed more success and emerged victorious as All-Ireland Winners in Cavan in July. The ladies U-14 team also made it to their final also in Cavan, only to be beaten in the end by Naomh Michael.

Kilmacud Crokes won the [[Dublin Minor Hurling Championship]] final in 2007. They won the title for the third time in the club's history when they beat [[Na Fianna GAA|Na Fianna]] in a replay. The manager of the team was former [[County Tipperary|Tipperary]] player, [[Richard Stakelum]]. A fourth title was added in 2009 when the Pat Halpin managed team that had won the All Ireland Feile in 2005 defeated St Vincents in the final. The club won their third [[Dublin Minor Hurling Championship]] in four years in November 2010 when a previously unfancied Crokes minor team capped an impressive championship run by beating favourites Ballyboden St. Endas in the final by 9 points.

'''Kilmacud Crokes''' ({{lang-ir|Cill Mochuda Na Crócaigh}}) is a large [[Gaelic Athletic Association]] club located in [[Stillorgan]], Dublin, Republic of Ireland.

==Background==
[[File:GlenalbynStillorgan.jpg|thumb|left|Kilmacud Crokes club house]]
Kilmacud GAA club was formed in 1959 following a historic public meeting in Saint Laurence's Hall, where Stillorgan shopping centre now stands. The first meeting of the club took place on 12 March 1959.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History">{{cite web|url = https://kilmacudcrokes.com/club/history| publisher = Kilmacud Crokes GAA |title = Kilmacud Crokes GAA History| website = www.kilmacudcrokes.com//|access-date=2020-08-17}}</ref> Sixty people attended the meeting and donated a shilling each, meaning the club made [[Irish pound|IR£]]3.30 on the night. The club decided to use green-and-white jerseys, but they later decided to use the gold-and-purple colours, some say because of the local school Scoil Lorcain Naofa who also use gold and purple,<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> others say it was because blue are the colours of the [[crocus]].

In 1963 the club purchased a {{frac|6|1|2}}-acre site behind the [[Ormonde Cinema]] as a permanent home pitch for themselves, Páirc de Burca, and in 1965 the adjoining [[Glenalbyn]] House was bought. In April 1966, Crokes hurling club joined up with Kilmacud football club.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> The name of the joint football/hurling teams was changed from Kilmacud G.A.A. club to Kilmacud Crokes G.A.A. club in 1971. In 1972, St. Benburbs Football Club of [[Clonskeagh]] joined with Kilmacud Crokes.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> <ref name="Model club still intent on making history">{{cite web|url = https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/model-club-still-intent-on-making-history-1.705046| publisher = The Irish Times |title = Model club still intent on making history| website = www.irishtimes.com//|access-date=2020-08-17}}</ref> St. Benburbs FC was famous because the first-ever All-Ireland Final was played on their ground in Clonskeagh in 1887. In 1973, a [[camogie]] section of the club was set up<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/> and in February 1996 a [[Ladies' Gaelic football]] Section was set up.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes Gaa History"/>

The club has installed an astro-turf GAA pitch at ''the paddock'', an area formerly used as a carpark/training ground, a venture which was finished in September 2006, and constructed indoor and outdoor hurling walls during 2007.

The current football Senior team is managed by Robbie Brennan and Johnny Magee.

==The Sevens==
Kilmacud Crokes are also famous as the hosts of the ''Sevens'' football and hurling competitions each year. Separate competitions are held on the weekends of the various All-Ireland Finals in September.<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens">
{{cite web|url = https://www.gaa.ie/search/crawl/news/kilmacud-crokes-all-ireland-hurling-sevens| publisher = The GAA|title = Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens| website = www.gaa.ie|access-date=2020-08-17}}</ref>
For example, the Football competition is held on the Saturday before the [[All-Ireland]] Football final and the Hurling competition is held on the Saturday before the [[All-Ireland]] Hurling final. The Sevens were first played in 1973<ref name="Kilmacud Crokes All-Ireland Hurling Sevens"/> and have since become an integral part of the All-Ireland weekends and feature on sports news programmes. Famous players and officials from the GAA are normally present on the day. Discussions and previews of the All-Ireland final on the following day are the subject of a lot of the media broadcasts.

The competitions run from the morning through to the evening. The games are played at various locations in and around [[Stillorgan]] including ''Glenalbyn'', ''[[Mount Merrion#Deer Park|Deer Park]]'', ''[[St Benildus College]]'', ''[[Naomh Ólaf CLG|St Olaf's]]'' and ''Silverpark''. The finals are always played in Glenalbyn. The games are played with teams of seven players with two-halves of ten minutes each. Erin's Own of [[Cork GAA|Cork]] and Castlewellan of [[Down GAA|Down]] were crowned Hurling and Football Sevens Champions for 2006 respectively. [[Longstone GAC|Longstone]] of Down won the 2007 football competition.

==Record==

===1990s===
Kilmacud Crokes won the [[All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship]] final on [[St. Patrick's Day]], 1995 under the management of [[Tommy Lyons]].<ref name="Model club still intent on making history"/> Kilmacud Crokes, captained by Mick Dillon, beat [[Bellaghy GAC|Bellaghy]] of [[Derry GAA|Derry]] with a scoreline of 0–8 to 0–5 in front of 18,544 fans at [[Croke Park]]. Mick Pender famously saved [[Damian Cassidy]]'s (Bellaghy) penalty and won the title for Kilmacud. The game will be remembered as one of the coldest days club football final history.

Another county title followed in 1998. Crokes beat [[Na Fianna GAA|Na Fianna]] in the final. Wins over [[James Stephens GAA|James Stephens]], [[Kilkenny]] and [[Stradbally]], [[Laois]] set up one of the most memorable [[Leinster]] club finals in recent years. Crokes played three games against [[Éire Óg GAA (Carlow)|Éire Óg]], [[Carlow]]; they eventually lost however.

===2000s===
Crokes won the Dublin championship in 2004. Crokes were nearly disqualified from the 2005 championship due to confusion over the eligibility of player [[Mark Vaughan]]. Crokes had defeated 2003 champions, [[St Brigid's GAA (Dublin)|St Brigid's]], it was claimed that [[Mark Vaughan]] was ineligible for the tie. Crokes claimed that they had received prior approval that Vaughan could play from the Dublin county board, who said the ''Dublin Championships'' and ''The Leinster Championships'' were different competitions. The Leinster council overruled the Dublin county board. St Brigid's offered Crokes a replay under one condition, that Vaughan could not play. He scored six points in Crokes' original one-point victory over Brigid's. He had received the red card that caused the ban in the previous years defeat to [[Portlaoise]]. The [[DRA (GAA)|DRA]] eventually awarded Crokes the match after agreeing that the two competitions were different. By this time Crokes' side of the draw was three games behind the other side of the draw. Kilmacud went on to win the 2005 [[Dublin Senior Club Football Championship|Dublin Championship]] following a comprehensive 1–14 to 0–09 victory over [[Na Fianna CLG|Na Fianna]] and added to their success by winning the Leinster Championship following a 0–10 to 0–09 victory over Newbridge at [[Páirc Tailteann|Navan]]. Crokes were defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final by Salthill-Knocknacarra on a scoreline of 1–09 to 1–07. Mark Vaughan was shown a straight red card, having already been on a yellow, for striking a Salthill player. In 2006 and 2007, Crokes narrowly lost out in the semi-final stage of the [[Dublin]] championship. They lost to [[UCD GAA|UCD]] and [[St Vincents GAA|St Vincents]], respectively. On 27 October 2008, Kilmacud won their sixth [[Dublin Senior Football Championship]] at [[Parnell Park]]. On 7 December 2008 Kilmacud won the Leinster Senior Football Championship for the third time, beating Rhode of Offaly by a scoreline of 2–07 to 1–07. They ensured their place in the All-Ireland final with a two-goal victory over Corofin of Galway on 21 February, and eventually defeated [[Crossmaglen Rangers]] of [[Armagh GAA|Armagh]] to win the final. Kilmacud also went on to win the Dublin Senior Championship with a victory over St Brigid's in 2010, before bowing out in the All-Ireland series to [[Crossmaglen Rangers]] at the semi-final stage.

===2020s===
Kilmacud Crokes won the All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship final in [[2022–23 All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship|2023]] defeating Derry champions [[Watty Graham's GAC, Glen|Glen]] 1-11 to 1-09.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kilmacud Crokes hold off late Glen surge to claim All-Ireland title |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic-games/2023/01/22/dublin-champions-kilmacud-crokes-hold-off-late-glen-surge-to-claim-all-ireland-title/ |access-date=2023-01-24 |website=The Irish Times |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.rte.ie/sport/football/2023/0122/1350126-all-ireland-club-final-kilmacud-crokes-v-glen-updates/|title=All-Ireland club final: Kilmacud Crokes 1-11 Glen 1-09 - recap|date=21 January 2023|work=RTE Sport|accessdate=27 January 2023}}</ref> However the match caused significant controversy as Kilmacud had an extra player on the pitch during the last play of the game, breaching rule 2.1 of the GAA rulebook.

===Youth===
Kilmacud Crokes has won the All-Ireland Football Féile final three times, the first of these coming in 2003, the second in 2008 and the third in 2019. The hurlers added to the club's success with an All-Ireland Hurling Féile of their own in 2005. This hurling victory was the first time in the club's history that they had won the Dublin Hurling Féile and only the second time a Dublin Club had won the All-Ireland Féile. In 2014 the hurlers won Dublin and All-Ireland Hurling Féile titles.

In 2008 the U-14A hurling team again reached the All-Ireland Féile group stages, but after a tough match in the pouring rain they lost to James Stephens from Kilkenny. The U-14A footballers enjoyed more success and emerged victorious as All-Ireland Winners in Cavan in July. The ladies U-14 team also made it to their final also in Cavan, only to be beaten in the end by Naomh Michael.

Kilmacud Crokes won the [[Dublin Minor Hurling Championship]] final in 2007. They won the title for the third time in the club's history when they beat [[Na Fianna GAA|Na Fianna]] in a replay. The manager of the team was former [[County Tipperary|Tipperary]] player, [[Richard Stakelum]]. A fourth title was added in 2009 when the Pat Halpin managed team that had won the All Ireland Feile in 2005 defeated St Vincents in the final. The club won their third [[Dublin Minor Hurling Championship]] in four years in November 2010 when a previously unfancied Crokes minor team capped an impressive championship run by beating favourites Ballyboden St. Endas in the final by 9 points.

==Etymology==
{{See also|Names of European cities in different languages: C–D#D|l1=Other names of Dublin}}

The name ''Dublin'' derives from the Irish word ''Duibhlinn'', early [[Classical Gaelic|Classical Irish]] {{lang|ghc|Dubhlind}}/{{lang|ghc|Duibhlind}}, from {{lang|ghc|dubh}} ({{IPA-all|d̪uβ|}}, {{IPA-all|d̪uw|}}, {{IPA-all|d̪uː|}}) meaning "black, dark", and {{lang|ghc|linn}} ({{IPA-all|lʲiɲ(d̪ʲ)|}}) "pool", referring to a dark tidal pool. This tidal pool was located where the [[River Poddle]] entered the [[River Liffey|Liffey]], on the site of the castle gardens at the rear of [[Dublin Castle]]. In Modern Irish the name is ''Duibhlinn'', and Irish rhymes from County Dublin show that in Dublin [[Irish language#Leinster|Leinster Irish]] it was pronounced ''Duílinn'' {{IPA-ga|ˈd̪ˠiːlʲiɲ|}}. The original pronunciation is preserved in the names for the city in other languages such as [[Old English]] {{lang|ang|Di'''f'''elin}}, [[Old Norse]] {{lang|non|Dy'''f'''lin}}, modern [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]] {{lang|is|Dy'''f'''linn}} and modern [[Manx language|Manx]] {{lang|gv|Di'''v'''lyn}} as well as [[Welsh language|Welsh]] {{lang|cy|Du'''lyn'''}} and [[Breton language|Breton]] {{lang|br|Du'''lenn'''}}. Other localities in Ireland also bear the name ''Duibhlinn'', variously anglicised as Devlin,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.logainm.ie/en/14364 |title=Placenames Database of Ireland: Duibhlinn/Devlin |access-date=13 September 2013 |archive-date=7 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107003050/http://www.logainm.ie/en/14364%20 |url-status=live }}</ref> Divlin<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.logainm.ie/en/13534 |title=Placenames Database of Ireland: Béal Duibhlinne/Ballydivlin |access-date=13 September 2013 |archive-date=7 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107002937/http://www.logainm.ie/en/13534%20 |url-status=live }}</ref> and Difflin.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.logainm.ie/en/16486 |title=Placenames Database of Ireland: Duibhlinn/Difflin |access-date=13 September 2013 |archive-date=7 January 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107003031/http://www.logainm.ie/en/16486%20 |url-status=live }}</ref> Historically, scribes using the [[Insular script|Gaelic script]] wrote ''bh'' with a [[dot (diacritic)|dot]] over the ''b'', rendering Duḃlinn or Duiḃlinn. Those without knowledge of Irish omitted the dot, spelling the name as ''Dublin''. Variations on the name are also found in traditionally Gaelic-speaking areas of [[Scotland]] ([[Gàidhealtachd]], cognate with Irish [[Gaeltacht]]), such as ''An Linne Dhubh'' ("the black pool"), which is part of [[Loch Linnhe]].

It is now thought that the Viking settlement was preceded by a Christian ecclesiastical settlement known as ''Duibhlinn'', from which ''Dyflin'' took its name.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Medieval Dublin, the making of a metropolis|last=Clarke|first=Howard|publisher=Irish Academic Press|year=1995|isbn=978-0716524595|page=44}}</ref> Beginning in the 9th and 10th centuries, there were two settlements where the modern city stands.

The area of [[Dublin Bay]] has been inhabited by humans since prehistoric times, fish traps discovered from excavations during the construction of the [[Convention Centre Dublin]] indicate human habitation as far back as 6,000 years ago while further traps were also discovered closer to the old settlement of the city of Dublin on the south quays near [[St. James's Gate]] which also indicate [[mesolithic]] human activity.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ryan |first1=Danielle |title=Archaeologists find ancient fish trap at Dublin quays site |url=https://www.thejournal.ie/fish-basket-victoria-quay-diageo-site-997693-Jul2013/ |website=TheJournal.ie |date=19 July 2013 |access-date=9 December 2021 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=2007:494 - Spencer Dock, North Wall Quay, Dublin, Dublin |url=https://excavations.ie/report/2007/Dublin/0017470/ |website=excavations.ie |access-date=9 December 2021}}</ref>

The writings of [[Ptolemy]] (the Greco-Roman astronomer and [[cartographer]]) in about 140 CE provide possibly the earliest reference to a settlement in Dublin.

Beginning in the 9th and 10th centuries, there were two settlements which later became the modern Dublin. The subsequent Scandinavian settlement centred on the [[River Poddle]], a tributary of the Liffey in an area now known as [[Wood Quay]]. The Dubhlinn was a pool on the lowest stretch of the Poddle, where ships used to moor. This pool was finally fully infilled during the early 18th century, as the city grew. The Dubhlinn lay where the Castle Garden is now located, opposite the [[Chester Beatty Library]] within [[Dublin Castle]]. ''[[Táin Bó Cuailgne]]'' ("The Cattle Raid of Cooley") refers to ''Dublind rissa ratter Áth Cliath'', meaning "Dublin, which is called Ath Cliath".

Dublin was the heart of the area known as [[the Pale]], a narrow strip of English settlement along the eastern coast, under the control of the [[English Crown]]. The [[Tudor conquest of Ireland]] in the 16th century spelt a new era for Dublin, with the city enjoying a renewed prominence as the centre of administrative rule in an Ireland where English control and settlement had become much more extensive. Determined to make Dublin a Protestant city, Queen [[Elizabeth I of England]] established [[Trinity College Dublin|Trinity College]] in 1592 as a solely Protestant university and ordered that the Catholic [[St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin|St. Patrick's]] and [[Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin|Christ Church]] cathedrals be converted to the Protestant church. The earliest map of the city of Dublin dates from 1610, and was by [[John Speed]].{{sfn|Maxwell|1997|p=56-57}}

The city had a population of 21,000 in 1640 before a plague in 1649–51 wiped out almost half of the inhabitants. However, the city prospered again soon after as a result of the wool and linen trade with England, and reached a population of over 50,000 in 1700.<ref>"''[https://books.google.com/books?id=gI8MYY6ASdcC&pg=PA34#v=onepage Dublin: a cultural history] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200801035433/https://books.google.com/books?id=gI8MYY6ASdcC&pg=PA34#v=onepage |date=1 August 2020 }}''".

As the city continued to prosper during the 18th century, [[Georgian Dublin]] became, for a short period, the second largest city of the [[British Empire]] and the fifth largest city in Europe, with the population exceeding 130,000. While some medieval streets and layouts (including the areas around [[Temple Bar, Dublin|Temple Bar]], Aungier Street, Capel Street and Thomas Street) were less affected by the wave of Georgian reconstruction, much of Dublin's architecture and layout dates from this period.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Dublin's Buildings « Dublin Civic Trust|url=http://www.dublincivictrust.ie/dublins-buildings|access-date=2021-12-29|website=www.dublincivictrust.ie }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = https://www.architectural-review.com/buildings/dublin-renaissance| publisher = The Architectural Review | website = architectural-review.com | title = Dublin Renaissance | date = 1993 | quote = [while] the impossibly bureaucratic sounding Wide Streets Commissioners [..] cut broad, ersatz boulevard swathes through the dense urban grain to create Parliament Street, Dame Street and Westmoreland Street [..] The minor streets of Temple Bar, originally little more than mean alleyways, have evolved over time }}</ref>{{sfn|Maxwell|1997|p=220}}

Dublin grew even more dramatically during the 18th century, with the construction of many new districts and buildings, such as [[Merrion Square]], [[Irish Houses of Parliament|Parliament House]] and the [[City Hall, Dublin|Royal Exchange]]. The [[Wide Streets Commission]] was established in 1757 at the request of [[Dublin Corporation]] to govern architectural standards on the layout of streets, bridges and buildings.{{sfn|Maxwell|1997|p=58-59}} In 1759, the [[Guinness brewery]] was founded; and would eventually grow to become the largest brewery in the world and the largest employer in Dublin.<ref>{{cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=b-tFDwAAQBAJ&q=guinness+%22largest+employer%22&pg=PT12 | publisher = Collins Press | title = Stones of Dublin | author = Lisa Marie Griffith | date = 2014 | quote = ''[Guinness] was Dublin's largest brewery in 1810, Ireland's largest in 1833, and the largest in the world by 1914.

Dublin suffered a period of political and economic decline during the 19th century following the [[Acts of Union 1800]], under which the seat of government was transferred to the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Westminster Parliament]] in London. The city played no major role in the [[Industrial Revolution]], but remained the centre of administration and a transport hub for most of the island.

[[File:The shell of the G.P.O. on Sackville Street after the Easter Rising (6937669789).jpg|thumb|Damage in Dublin city centre following the 1916 [[Easter Rising]] with the ruins of the GPO to the left]]
The [[Easter Rising]] of 1916, the [[Irish War of Independence]], and the subsequent [[Irish Civil War]] resulted in a significant amount of physical destruction in central Dublin. The [[Government of the Irish Free State]] rebuilt the city centre and located the new parliament, the [[Oireachtas]], in [[Leinster House]]. Since the beginning of [[Normans|Norman]] rule in the 12th century, the city has functioned as the capital in varying geopolitical entities: [[Lordship of Ireland]] (1171–1541), [[Kingdom of Ireland]] (1541–1800), as part of the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland]] (1801–1922), and the [[Irish Republic]] (1919–1922). Following the [[partition of Ireland]] in 1922, it became the capital of the [[Irish Free State]] (1922–1937) and now is the capital of Ireland. One of the memorials to commemorate that time is the [[Garden of Remembrance (Dublin)|Garden of Remembrance]].

Dublin was also a victim of the Northern Irish [[The Troubles|Troubles]], although during this 30-year conflict, violence mainly occurred within Northern Ireland. A Loyalist paramilitary group, the [[Ulster Volunteer Force]], bombed the city during this time – notably in an atrocity known as the [[Dublin and Monaghan bombings]] in which 34 people died, mainly in central Dublin.

Large parts of Georgian Dublin were demolished or substantially redeveloped in the mid-20th century during a boom in office building. After this boom, the recessions of the 1970s and 1980s slowed down the pace of building. Cumulatively, this led to a large decline in the number of people living in the centre of the city, and by 1985 the city had approximately 150 acres of derelict land which had been earmarked for development and {{Convert | 10 | e6sqft | sigfig = 1 | abbr=off}} of office space.<ref>{{Cite book|last=McDonald|first=Frank|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60079186|title=The destruction of Dublin|date=1985|publisher=Gill and Macmillan|isbn=0-7171-1386-8|location=Dublin|pages=332|oclc=60079186}}</ref>

Since 1997, the landscape of Dublin has changed. The city was at the forefront of Ireland's economic expansion during the [[Celtic Tiger]] period, with private sector and state development of housing, transport and business.

Council meetings occur at [[Dublin City Hall]], while most of its administrative activities are based in the Civic Offices on [[Wood Quay]]. The party or coalition of parties with the majority of seats assigns committee members, introduces policies, and proposes the Lord Mayor. The Council passes an annual budget for spending on areas such as housing, traffic management, refuse, drainage, and planning. The Dublin City Manager is responsible for implementing City Council decisions but also has considerable executive power.

===National===
[[File:20130810 dublin214.JPG|right|thumb|[[Leinster House]] on Kildare Street houses the [[Oireachtas]].]]
As the capital city, Dublin is the seat of the national parliament of Ireland, the [[Oireachtas]]. It is composed of the [[President of Ireland]], [[Dáil Éireann]] as the house of representatives, and [[Seanad Éireann]] as the upper house. The President resides in [[Áras an Uachtaráin]] in [[Phoenix Park]], while both houses of the Oireachtas meet in [[Leinster House]], a former ducal residence on [[Kildare Street]]. It has been the home of the Irish parliament since the foundation of the [[Irish Free State]] in 1922. The old [[Irish Houses of Parliament]] of the [[Kingdom of Ireland]], which dissolved in 1801, are located in [[College Green, Dublin|College Green]].

[[Government Buildings]] house the [[Department of the Taoiseach]], the Council Chamber, the Department of Finance and the [[Attorney General of Ireland|Office of the Attorney General]]. It consists of a main building (completed 1911) with two wings (completed 1921). It was designed by Thomas Manley Dean and Sir [[Aston Webb]] as the [[Royal College of Science (Ireland)|Royal College of Science]]. The [[First Dáil]] originally met in the [[Mansion House, Dublin|Mansion House]] in 1919. The Irish Free State government took over the two wings of the building to serve as a temporary home for some ministries, while the central building became the College of Technology until 1989.<ref>Department of the Taoiseach: Guide to Government Buildings (2005)</ref> Although both it and Leinster House were intended to be temporary locations, they became the permanent homes of parliament from then on.

==Geography==
===City boundaries===
From 1842, the boundaries of the city were comprehended by the [[Barony (Ireland)|baronies]] of Dublin City and the barony of [[Dublin (barony)|Dublin]]. Over time, the city has absorbed area previously administered as part of County Dublin (now the three counties of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin), with a change in 1985 also returning area to the county.

===Landscape===
[[File:Dublin SPOT 1023.jpg|thumb|Satellite image showing the [[River Liffey]] entering the [[Irish Sea]] as it divides Dublin into the [[Northside (Dublin)|Northside]] and the [[Southside (Dublin)|Southside]]]]
Dublin is situated at the mouth of the [[River Liffey]] and encompasses a land area of approximately {{convert|117.8|km2}} in east-central Ireland. It is bordered by the Dublin Mountains, a low mountain range and sub range of the [[Wicklow Mountains]], to the south and surrounded by flat farmland to the north and west.<ref name="Facts about Dublin"/>

====Watercourses====
{{see also|List of rivers of County Dublin}}
The River Liffey divides the city in two, between the Northside and the Southside. The Liffey bends at [[Leixlip]] from a northeasterly route to a predominantly eastward direction, and this point also marks the transition to urban development from more agricultural land usage.<ref name="erdb">{{cite web |title = Final Characterisation Report |url = http://erbd.ie/upload/files/Characterisation%20Report.pdf |publisher = Eastern River Basin District |at = Sec. 7: Characterisation of the Liffey Catchment Area |access-date = 10 November 2014 |archive-date = 7 January 2019 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190107002633/http://erbd.ie/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi |url-status = live }}</ref> The city itself was founded where the [[River Poddle]] met the Liffey, and the early Viking settlement was also facilitated by the small Stein or Steyne River, the larger Camac<ref name="LittleRvrs-Camac">{{cite journal |last1=O'Brennan |first1=Lily M. |title=Little Rivers of Dublin |journal=Dublin Historical Record |date=1 September 1940 |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=24–25 |jstor=30083879 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/30083879 |access-date=13 January 2021}}</ref> and the Bradogue,<ref name="LittleRvrs-Brad">{{cite journal |last1=O'Brennan |first1=Lily M. |title=Little Rivers of Dublin |journal=Dublin Historical Record |date=1 September 1940 |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=23–24 |jstor=30083879 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/30083879 |access-date=13 January 2021}}</ref> in particular.

Two secondary rivers further divide the city: the [[River Tolka]], running southeast into Dublin Bay, and the [[River Dodder]] running northeast to near the mouth of the Liffey, and these and the Liffey have multiple tributaries. A number of lesser rivers and streams also flow to the sea within the suburban parts of the city.<ref name="TenDoz_rivers_sml_sea">{{cite book |last1=Doyle |first1=Joseph W. |title=Ten Dozen Waters: The Rivers and Streams of County Dublin |date=2013 |publisher=Rath Eanna Research |location=Dublin, Ireland |isbn=9780956636362 |edition=7th}}</ref>

Two canals – the [[Grand Canal of Ireland|Grand Canal]] on the southside and the [[Royal Canal of Ireland|Royal Canal]] on the northside – ring the inner city on their way from the west and the [[River Shannon]].

===Cultural divide===
A north–south division once, to some extent, traditionally existed, with the River Liffey as the divider.<ref name="northsouthmyth">{{cite news | url = https://www.irishtimes.com/news/time-to-move-beyond-the-northside-southside-myth-1.551483 | newspaper = [[The Irish Times]] | title = Time to move beyond the northside-southside myth | date = 14 November 2012 | access-date = 17 June 2018 | archive-date = 7 February 2018 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180207005218/https://www.irishtimes.com/news/time-to-move-beyond-the-northside-southside-myth-1.551483 | url-status = live }}</ref> The southside was, in recent times, generally seen as being more affluent and genteel than the northside.<ref name="northsouthmyth"/> There have also been some social divisions evident between the coastal suburbs in the east of the city, and the newer developments further to the west.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

In some tourism and real-estate marketing contexts, inner Dublin is sometimes divided into a number of quarters or districts.<ref name="quartersvisit">{{cite web | url = http://www.visitdublin.com/dublin-vibrant-city-quarters | publisher = VisitDublin.com | title = Dublin – A Vibrant City – Quarters | access-date = 22 February 2017 | archive-date = 7 January 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190107003038/https://www.visitdublin.com/CMSMessages/PageNotFound.aspx?aspxerrorpath=%2Fdublin-vibrant-city-quarters | url-status = live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url = http://www.thejournal.ie/dublin-launches-new-creative-quarter-for-city-centre-380795-Mar2012/ | newspaper = TheJournal.ie | title = Dublin launches new 'Creative Quarter' for city centre | date = 11 March 2012 | access-date = 22 February 2017 | archive-date = 7 January 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190107002837/https://www.thejournal.ie/article.php?id=380795 | url-status = live }}</ref> These include the Medieval Quarter (in the area of [[Dublin Castle]], [[Christ Church, Dublin|Christ Church]] and [[St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin|St Patrick's Cathedral]] and the old city walls),<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/welcome-to-medieval-quarter-26359647.html | title = Welcome to medieval quarter | date = 12 October 2006 | access-date = 22 February 2017 | archive-date = 23 February 2017 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170223125020/http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/welcome-to-medieval-quarter-26359647.html | url-status = live }}</ref> the Georgian Quarter (including the area around St Stephen's Green, Trinity College, and [[Merrion Square]]), the Docklands Quarter (around the [[Dublin Docklands]] and [[Silicon Docks]]), the Cultural Quarter (around [[Temple Bar, Dublin|Temple Bar]]), and Creative Quarter (between South William Street and George's Street).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dublintown.ie/creativequarter|title=Dublin Town – Creative Quarter – DublinTown – What's On, Shopping & Events in Dublin City – Dublin Town|website=What's On, Shopping & Events in Dublin City – Dublin Town|access-date=13 November 2016|archive-date=7 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107003213/https://www.dublintown.ie/creativequarter/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Similar to much of the rest of northwestern Europe, Dublin experiences a [[maritime climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|''Cfb'']]) with mild-warm summers, cool winters, and a lack of temperature extremes. At [[Merrion Square]], the coldest month is February, with an average minimum temperature of {{convert|4.1|C|F|abbr=on}}, and the warmest month is July, with an average maximum temperature of {{convert|20.1|C|F|abbr=on}}. Due to the [[urban heat island]] effect, Dublin city has the warmest summertime nights in Ireland. The average minimum temperature at Merrion Square in July is {{convert|13.5|C|F|abbr=on}}, and the lowest July temperature ever recorded at the station was {{convert|7.8|C|F|abbr=on}} on 3 July 1974.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.met.ie/climate/available-data/historical-data|title=Historical Data: DUBLIN (MERRION SQUARE) - Station No. 3923|publisher=Met Éireann|access-date= 9 June 2022}}</ref>

Dublin's sheltered location on the east coast makes it the driest place in Ireland, receiving only about half the rainfall of the west coast. [[Ringsend]] in the south of the city records the lowest rainfall in the country, with an average annual precipitation of {{convert|683|mm|0|abbr=on}},<ref>{{cite web |publisher=European Climate Assessment & Dataset |title=Climatology details for station DUBLIN (RINGSEND), IRELAND and index RR: Precipitation sum |url=http://eca.knmi.nl/utils/calcdetail.php?seasonid=0&periodid=1981-2010&indexid=RR&stationid=1958 |access-date=21 December 2012 |archive-date=1 February 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201182200/http://eca.knmi.nl/utils/calcdetail.php?seasonid=0&periodid=1981-2010&indexid=RR&stationid=1958 |url-status=live }}</ref> with the average annual precipitation in the city centre being {{convert|726|mm|0|abbr=on}}. The main precipitation in winter is rain; however snow showers do occur between November and March. Hail is more common than snow. The city experiences long summer days and short winter days. Strong Atlantic winds are most common in autumn. These winds can affect Dublin, but due to its easterly location, it is least affected compared to other parts of the country. However, in winter, easterly winds render the city colder and more prone to snow showers.

In the 20th century, smog and air-pollution were an issue in the city, precipitating a ban on bituminous fuels across Dublin.<ref name="coalbangov">{{cite web | url = https://www.dccae.gov.ie/en-ie/environment/topics/air-quality/smoky-coal-ban/Pages/default.aspx | publisher = Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment | title = Smoky coal ban | access-date = 1 January 2018 | archive-date = 7 January 2019 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190107003053/https://www.dccae.gov.ie/en-ie/environment/topics/air-quality/smoky-coal-ban/Pages/default.aspx%20 | url-status = live }}</ref><ref name="coalbantimes">{{cite news |url = https://www.irishtimes.com/news/environment/how-the-coal-ban-dealt-with-dublin-s-burning-issue-1.2367021 |newspaper = [[The Irish Times]] |title = How the coal ban dealt with Dublin's burning issue |date = 26 September 2015 |access-date = 22 February 2017 |archive-date = 23 February 2017 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20170223125126/http://www.irishtimes.com/news/environment/how-the-coal-ban-dealt-with-dublin-s-burning-issue-1.2367021 |url-status = live }}</ref> The ban was implemented in 1990 to address black smoke concentrations, that had been linked to cardiovascular and respiratory deaths in residents.

{{Further|List of public art in Dublin}}
Dublin has many landmarks and monuments dating back hundreds of years. One of the oldest is [[Dublin Castle]], which was first founded as a major defensive work on the orders of England's [[John, King of England|King John]] in 1204, shortly after the [[Norman invasion of Ireland]] in 1169, when it was commanded that a castle be built with strong walls and good ditches for the defence of the city, the administration of justice, and the protection of the King's treasure.<ref name=history>{{cite book|last= McCarthy|first= Denis |author2=Benton, David |year= 2004|title= Dublin Castle: at the heart of Irish History|location= Dublin|publisher=Irish Government Stationery Office |pages= 12–18|isbn= 978-0-7557-1975-4}}</ref> Largely complete by 1230, the castle was of typical Norman courtyard design, with a central square without a [[keep]], bounded on all sides by tall defensive walls and protected at each corner by a circular tower. Sited to the south-east of Norman Dublin, the castle formed one corner of the outer perimeter of the city, using the [[River Poddle]] as a natural means of defence.

It replaces [[Nelson's Pillar]] and is intended to mark Dublin's place in the 21st century. The spire was designed by [[Ian Ritchie Architects]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://archiseek.com/2010/2003-the-dublin-spire-oconnell-street-dublin/ |title=The Dublin Spire |publisher=Archiseek |year=2003 |access-date=20 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111110210127/http://archiseek.com/2010/2003-the-dublin-spire-oconnell-street-dublin/ |archive-date=10 November 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> who sought an "Elegant and dynamic simplicity bridging art and technology". The base of the monument is lit and the top is illuminated to provide a beacon in the night sky across the city.

The Old Library of [[Trinity College Dublin]], holding the [[Book of Kells]], is one of the city's most visited sites.<ref>{{cite news | url = https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/guinness-storehouse-tops-list-of-most-visited-attractions-1.1476060 | newspaper = [[The Irish Times]] | title = Guinness Storehouse tops list of most visited attractions | date = 26 July 2013 | access-date = 21 February 2020 | archive-date = 25 October 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201025215043/https://www.irishtimes.com/business/transport-and-tourism/guinness-storehouse-tops-list-of-most-visited-attractions-1.1476060 | url-status = live }}</ref> The Book of Kells is an illustrated manuscript created by Irish monks circa 800 AD.

Other landmarks and monuments include [[Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin|Christ Church Cathedral]] and [[St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin|St Patrick's Cathedral]], the [[Mansion House, Dublin|Mansion House]], the [[Molly Malone]] statue, the complex of buildings around Leinster House, including part of the [[National Museum of Ireland]] and the [[National Library of Ireland]], [[The Custom House]] and [[Áras an Uachtaráin]]. Other sights include the [[Anna Livia (monument)|Anna Livia monument]]. The [[Poolbeg Generating Station|Poolbeg Towers]] are also landmark features of Dublin, and visible from various spots around the city.

===Parks===
[[File:Dublin Stephen's Green-44 edit.jpg|thumb|Aerial view of [[St Stephen's Green]]]]
There are many green-spaces around the city, and Dublin City Council manages over {{convert|1500|ha|acre}} of parks.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-recreation-culture/dublin-city-parks|title=Dublin City Parks|publisher=[[Dublin City Council]]|access-date=1 September 2015|archive-date=7 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107002959/http://www.dublincity.ie/main-menu-services-recreation-culture/dublin-city-parks|url-status=live}}</ref> Public parks include the [[Phoenix Park]], [[Herbert Park]], [[St Stephen's Green]], [[Saint Anne's Park]] and [[Bull Island]]. The Phoenix Park is about {{convert|3|km|0|abbr=in}} west of the city centre, north of the [[River Liffey]]. Its {{convert|16|km|0|adj=on}} perimeter wall encloses {{convert|707|ha|acre}}, making it one of the largest walled city parks in Europe.<ref>It is larger than all of London's city parks put together, and more than twice the area of New York's Central Park. {{cite web

The park is also home to [[Dublin Zoo]], [[Ashtown Castle]], and the official residence of the [[United States Ambassador to Ireland|United States Ambassador]]. Music concerts are also sometimes held in the park.

St Stephen's Green is adjacent to one of Dublin's main shopping streets, [[Grafton Street, Dublin|Grafton Street]], and to [[Stephen's Green Shopping Centre|a shopping centre named after it]], while on its surrounding streets are the offices of a number of public bodies.

[[Saint Anne's Park]] is a public park and recreational facility, shared between [[Raheny]] and [[Clontarf, Dublin|Clontarf]], both suburbs on the Northside. The park, the second largest municipal park in Dublin, is part of a former {{convert|2|km²|sqmi acre|sigfig=1|adj=on}} estate assembled by members of the [[Guinness family]], beginning with [[Benjamin Lee Guinness]] in 1835 (the largest municipal park is nearby (North) [[Bull Island]], also shared between Clontarf and Raheny), featuring a 5 km beach.

A number of Dublin's traditional industries, such as food processing, textile manufacturing, brewing, and distilling have gradually declined, although [[Guinness]] has been brewed at the [[St. James's Gate Brewery]] since 1759. Economic improvements in the 1990s attracted a number of global pharmaceutical, information and communications technology companies to the city and [[Greater Dublin Area]]. Companies such as [[Microsoft]], [[Google]], [[Amazon.com|Amazon]], [[eBay]], [[PayPal]], [[Yahoo!]], [[Facebook]], [[Twitter]], [[Accenture]], [[TikTok]] and [[Pfizer]] now have European headquarters and/or operational bases in the city, with several located in enterprise clusters like the [[The Digital Hub|Digital Hub]] and [[Silicon Docks]]. The presence of these companies has driven economic expansion in the city and led to Dublin sometimes being referred to as the "Tech Capital of Europe".<ref name=":0" />

Financial services have also become important to the city since the establishment of Dublin's [[International Financial Services Centre]] in 1987. More than 500 operations are approved to trade under the IFSC programme. The centre is host to half of the world's top 50 banks and to half of the top 20 insurance companies.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ifsc.ie/page.aspx?idpage=6 |title=I.F.S.C |publisher=I.F.S.C.ie |date=21 June 2010 |access-date=21 January 2010 |archive-date=24 December 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181224233819/https://www.ifsc.ie/page.aspx?idpage=6 |url-status=live }}</ref> Many international firms have established major headquarters in the city, such as [[Citibank]]. The [[Irish Stock Exchange]] (ISEQ), [[Internet Neutral Exchange]] (INEX) and Irish Enterprise Exchange (IEX) are also located in Dublin. Dublin has been positioned as one of the main cities vying to host Financial Services companies hoping to retain access to the Eurozone after [[Brexit]]. The Celtic Tiger also led to a temporary boom in construction, with large redevelopment projects in the [[Dublin Docklands]] and [[Spencer Dock]]. Completed projects include the [[Convention Centre Dublin|Convention Centre]], the [[3Arena]], and the [[Bord Gáis Energy Theatre]].

In the second quarter of 2018, Dublin touched its lowest unemployment rate in a decade, when it fell down to 5.7% as reported by the Dublin Economic Monitor.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/business/monitor-dublin-unemployment-falls-to-lowest-level-in-10-years-amid-economic-resurgence-859553.html|title=Monitor: Dublin unemployment falls to lowest level in 10 years amid economic resurgence|access-date=2 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181011172942/https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/business/monitor-dublin-unemployment-falls-to-lowest-level-in-10-years-amid-economic-resurgence-859553.html|archive-date=11 October 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://issuu.com/256media/docs/dem_aug18?e=16581915/63526870|title=14th issue of the Dublin Economic Monitor|access-date=1 August 2018|archive-date=30 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200730032558/https://issuu.com/256media/docs/dem_aug18?e=16581915%2F63526870|url-status=live}}</ref>

==Transport==
{{Main|Transport in Dublin}}

===Road===
[[File:DublinM50.png|thumb|The [[M50 motorway (Ireland)|M50 motorway]] surrounding Dublin]]
The road network in Ireland is primarily focused on Dublin. The [[M50 motorway (Ireland)|M50 motorway]], a semi-[[ring road]] which runs around the south, west and north of the city, connects important national primary routes to the rest of the country. In 2008, the [[West-Link]] toll bridge was replaced by the [[eFlow]] barrier-free tolling system, with a three-tiered charge system based on electronic tags and car pre-registration.<ref>{{cite web | title = EFlow Website | publisher = eFlow | url = http://eflow.ie/ | access-date = 29 July 2011 | archive-date = 11 August 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200811033751/https://www.eflow.ie/ | url-status = live }}</ref>

The first phase of a proposed eastern bypass for the city is the [[Dublin Port Tunnel]], which officially opened in 2006 to mainly cater for heavy vehicles. The tunnel connects [[Dublin Port]] and the [[M1 motorway (Republic of Ireland)|M1 motorway]] close to Dublin Airport. The city is also surrounded by an inner and outer orbital route. The inner orbital route runs approximately around the heart of the Georgian city and the outer orbital route runs primarily along the natural circle formed by Dublin's two canals, the [[Grand Canal of Ireland|Grand Canal]] and the [[Royal Canal of Ireland|Royal Canal]], as well as the North and South Circular Roads.

The 2016 [[TomTom]] Traffic Index ranked Dublin the 15th most congested city in the world and the 7th most congested in Europe.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kelpie|first1=Colm|title=Revealed: Dublin ranked worse than London or Paris for road congestion|url=http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/revealed-dublin-ranked-worse-than-london-or-paris-for-road-congestion-34563994.html|access-date=20 December 2016|work=The Irish Independent|date=23 March 2016|archive-date=29 January 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170129063735/http://www.independent.ie/business/irish/revealed-dublin-ranked-worse-than-london-or-paris-for-road-congestion-34563994.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=TomTom Traffic Index|url=https://www.tomtom.com/en_ie/trafficindex/list|website=TomTom|access-date=20 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160329034844/http://tomtom.com/en_ie/trafficindex/list|archive-date=29 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

====Bus====
Dublin is served by a network of nearly 200 bus routes which cover the city and suburbs. The majority of these are provided by [[Dublin Bus]], with a modest number having been transferred to Go Ahead Ireland in 2018. A number of smaller companies also operate. Fares are generally calculated on a stage system based on distance travelled. There are several different levels of fares, which apply on most services. A "Real Time Passenger Information" system was introduced at Dublin Bus bus stops in 2012 in which signs relay display the projected time of the next buses' arrival based on its GPS position. The [[National Transport Authority (Ireland)|National Transport Authority]] is responsible for integration of bus and rail services in Dublin and has been involved in introducing a pre-paid smart card, called a [[Leap card]], which can be used on all of Dublin's public transport services.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Ticketing|url=https://www.nationaltransport.ie/transport-technology/transport-technology-ticketing/|access-date=2022-02-01|website=National Transport|language=en-US}}</ref>

====Cycling====
The 2011 Census showed that 5.9 percent of commuters in Dublin cycled. A 2013 report by Dublin City Council on traffic flows crossing the canals in and out of the city found that just under 10% of all traffic was made up of cyclists, representing an increase of 14.1% over 2012 and an 87.2% increase over 2006 levels and is attributed to measures, such as, the Dublinbikes bike rental scheme, the provision of cycle lanes, public awareness campaigns to promote cycling and the introduction of the 30 km/h city centre speed limit.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dublincity.ie/sites/default/files/content//RoadsandTraffic/Traffic/Documents/Canal_Cordon_Counts_2013.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150903221013/http://www.dublincity.ie/sites/default/files/content//RoadsandTraffic/Traffic/Documents/Canal_Cordon_Counts_2013.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=3 September 2015 |title=Report on trends in mode share of vehicles and people crossing the Canal Cordon 2006 to 2013 |year=2013 |publisher=[[Dublin City Council]] & National Transport Authority |pages=4, 8, 16 |access-date=29 August 2015 }}</ref>

[[File:Dublin Bikes.jpg|thumb|[[Dublinbikes]] terminal in the [[Dublin Docklands|Docklands]]]]

[[Dublin Heuston railway station|Heuston]] and [[Dublin Connolly railway station|Connolly]] stations are the two main railway termini in Dublin. Operated by [[Iarnród Éireann]], the [[Dublin Suburban Rail]] network consists of five railway lines serving the Greater Dublin Area and commuter towns such as [[Drogheda]] and [[Dundalk]] in County Louth, Gorey in [[County Wexford]], and extending as far as [[Portlaoise]] and once a day, [[Newry]]. One of the five lines is the electrified [[Dublin Area Rapid Transit]] (DART) line, which runs primarily along the coast of Dublin, comprising 31 stations, from [[Malahide]] and [[Howth]] southwards as far as [[Greystones]] in County Wicklow.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dublin.ie/transport/dart.htm|title=DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transit)|access-date=28 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721123858/http://www.dublin.ie/transport/dart.htm|archive-date=21 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Commuter (Irish Rail)|Commuter rail]] operates on the other four lines using Irish Rail [[diesel multiple unit]]s. In 2013, passengers for DART and Dublin Suburban lines were 16 million and 11.7 million, respectively (around 75% of all Irish Rail passengers).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Statire/SelectVarVal/Define.asp?maintable=TCA01|title=Passenger Journeys by Rail by Type of Journey and Year – StatBank – data and statistics|access-date=20 April 2016|archive-date=7 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190107003029/https://www.cso.ie/px/pxeirestat/Statire/SelectVarVal/Define.asp?maintable=TCA01|url-status=live}}</ref>

Dublin once had an extensive system of [[Dublin tramways|trams]] but this was largely phased out by 1949. A new [[light rail]] system, often described as a tram system, the [[Luas]], was launched in 2004, and is run by [[Transdev]] Ireland (under contract from [[Transport Infrastructure Ireland]]), carrying over 34 million passengers annually.<ref name="Luas - Frequently Asked Questions">{{cite web|url=https://www.luas.ie/faq.html|title=Luas – Frequently Asked Questions|website=luas.ie|access-date=1 January 2018|archive-date=1 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101135323/https://www.luas.ie/faq.html|url-status=live}}</ref> The network consists of two interconnecting lines; the [[Red Line (Luas)|Red Line]] links the [[Dublin Docklands|Docklands]] and city centre with the south-western suburbs of Tallaght and Saggart, while the [[Green Line (Luas)|Green Line]] connects northern inner city suburbs and the main city centre with suburbs to the south of the city including Sandyford and Brides Glen.

[[Handel]]'s oratorio [[Messiah (Handel)|Messiah]] was first performed at [[Neale's Musick Hall, Dublin|Neal's Music Hall]], in [[Fishamble Street]], on 13 April [[1742 in Ireland|1742]].

There are several theatres within the city centre, and various well-known actors have emerged from the Dublin theatrical scene, including [[Noel Purcell (actor)|Noel Purcell]], [[Michael Gambon]], [[Brendan Gleeson]], [[Stephen Rea]], [[Colin Farrell]], [[Colm Meaney]] and [[Gabriel Byrne]]. The best known theatres include the [[Gaiety Theatre, Dublin|Gaiety]], [[Abbey Theatre|Abbey]], [[Olympia Theatre, Dublin|Olympia]], [[Gate Theatre|Gate]], and [[Grand Canal Theatre|Grand Canal]]. The Gaiety specialises in musical and operatic productions, and also opens its doors after the evening theatre production to host a variety of live music, dancing, and films. The Abbey was founded in 1904 by a group that included [[William Butler Yeats|Yeats]] with the aim of promoting indigenous literary talent. It went on to provide a breakthrough for some of the city's most famous writers, such as [[J. M. Synge|Synge]], Yeats himself and George Bernard Shaw. The Gate was founded in 1928 to promote European and American Avant Garde works. The Grand Canal Theatre is a newer 2,111 capacity theatre which opened in 2010 in the [[Grand Canal Dock]] area.

Apart from being the focus of the country's literature and theatre, Dublin is also the focal point for much of [[Irish art]] and the Irish artistic scene. The [[Book of Kells]], a world-famous manuscript produced by Celtic monks in AD 800 and an example of [[Insular art]], is on display in [[Trinity College Dublin|Trinity College]]. The [[Chester Beatty Library]] houses a collection of manuscripts, miniature paintings, prints, drawings, rare books and [[decorative art]]s assembled by American mining millionaire (and honorary Irish citizen) [[Sir Alfred Chester Beatty]] (1875–1968). The collections date from 2700 BCE onwards and are drawn from Asia, the Middle East, North Africa and Europe.

==Irish language==
Dublin was traditionally a city of two languages, English and [[Irish language|Irish]], a situation found also in the area around it, [[The Pale]]. The Irish of County Dublin represented the easternmost extension of a broad central dialect area which stretched between Leinster and [[Connacht]], but had its own local characteristics. It may also have been influenced by the east [[Ulster]] dialect of [[County Meath]] and [[County Louth]] to the north.<ref>Williams, Nicholas.

In the words of a 16th-century English administrator, [[William Gerard]] (1518–1581): "All Englishe, and the most part with delight, even in Dublin, speak Irishe".<ref>See "Tony Crowley, "The Politics of Language in Ireland 1366–1922: A Sourcebook" and [[Joep Leerssen|Leerssen, Joep]], ''Mere Irish and Fior-Ghael: Studies in the Idea of Irish Nationality, Its Development and Literary Expression Prior to the Nineteenth Century'', University of Notre Dame Press 1997, p. 51. {{ISBN|978-0268014278}}</ref> The [[Normans in Ireland|Old English]] historian [[Richard Stanihurst]] (1547–1618) wrote as follows: "When their posteritie became not altogither so warie in keeping, as their ancestors were valiant in conquering, the Irish language was free dennized in the English Pale: this canker tooke such deep root, as the bodie that before was whole and sound, was by little and little festered, and in manner wholly putrified".<ref>Ellis, Henry (ed.).

English authorities of the Cromwellian period accepted the fact that Irish was widely spoken in the city and its surrounds. In 1655 several local dignitaries were ordered to oversee a lecture in Irish to be given in Dublin. In March 1656 a converted Catholic priest, Séamas Corcy, was appointed to preach in Irish at Bride's parish every Sunday, and was also ordered to preach at [[Drogheda]] and [[Athy]].<ref>{{cite book | last = Berresford Ellis | first = Peter | date = 1975 | title = Hell or Connaught!

Though the number of Irish speakers declined throughout Ireland in the 19th century, the end of the century saw a [[Gaelic revival]], centred in Dublin and accompanied by renewed literary activity.<ref>Ó Conluain, Proinsias & Ó Céileachair, Donncha (1958).

Dublin now has many thousands of habitual Irish speakers, with the 2016 census showing that daily speakers (outside the education system) numbered 14,903. They form part of an urban Irish-speaking cohort which is generally better-educated than monoglot English speakers.<ref>{{cite web| publisher = Central Statistics Office | work = Census of Population 2016 | title = Profile 10 Education, Skills and the Irish Language |url = https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cp10esil/p10esil/ilg/ | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201208225214/https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cp10esil/p10esil/ilg/ |archive-date=8 December 2020 }}</ref>

The Dublin Irish-speaking cohort is supported by a number of Irish-medium schools. There are 12,950 students in the Dublin region attending 34 [[gaelscoil]]eanna (Irish-language primary schools) and 10 [[Gaelcholáiste|gaelcholáistí]] (Irish-language secondary schools).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie/files/Education-through-Irish.pdf|title=Education through the Medium of Irish 2015/2016|year=2016|publisher=gaelscoileanna.ie|access-date=1 January 2018|archive-date=1 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180101135552/http://www.gaelscoileanna.ie/files/Education-through-Irish.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref>

Two Irish language radio stations, [[Raidió Na Life]] and [[RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltachta]], have studios in the city, and the online station [[Raidió Rí-Rá]] broadcasts from studios in the city. A number of Irish language agencies are also located in the capital. [[Conradh na Gaeilge]] offers language classes, has a book shop and is a meeting place for different groups. The closest Gaeltacht to Dublin is the [[County Meath]] [[Gaeltacht]] of [[Ráth Cairn]] and [[Baile Ghib]] which is {{convert|55|km|0|abbr=on}} away.

==International relations==

'''Justin Barrett''' (born 13 April 1971) is an Irish [[far-right]] politician who has been the leader of the [[National Party (Ireland, 2016)|National Party]] since 2016. Barrett's activism began in the 1990s, with the [[anti-abortion movement|anti-abortion]] campaign group [[Youth Defence]]. He campaigned against the [[Treaty of Nice]] in 2002 and founded the National Party in 2016. Barrett and the National Party campaigned for a No vote in the [[Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland|2018 abortion referendum]] through the Abortion Never campaign,<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/you-re-next-if-law-repealed-far-right-tells-elderly-b88qj0wn6|title=You're next if abortion law repealed, far-right tells elderly|last=Coyne|first=Ellen|date=21 March 2018|work=The Times (Ireland edition)}}</ref> which functioned as "an Irish nationalist anti-abortion campaign".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://abortionnever.ie/|title=Abortion Never|website=AbortionNever.ie|access-date=2018-04-11}}</ref>

His early activism focused mostly on campaigning in Irish referendums from a [[Euroscepticism|Eurosceptic]], anti-abortion, [[anti-immigration]], and [[Social conservatism|social conservative]] perspective. He subsequently however moved towards far-right politics with his involvement in the National Party.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/irish-far-right-groups-remain-on-the-margins-of-political-life-109464.html|title=Irish far right groups remain on the margins of political life|last=Millar|first=Scott|date=12 January 2010|newspaper=Irish Examiner|quote=...former Youth Defence leader, Justin Barrett.}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Gable|first=Gerry|date=November 2009|title=[[Jim Dowson]]: How a militant anti-abortionist took over the BNP.

Barrett himself has never held or been elected to any public office. He contested the [[2004 European Parliament election in Ireland|2004 European Election]] as an [[Independent politician|independent]], receiving 2.4% of the vote in the [[East (European Parliament constituency)|East constituency]] and failing to be elected. Barrett also contested the [[2021 Dublin Bay South by-election]] for the [[National Party (Ireland, 2016)|National Party]], receiving 183 first-preference votes (0.68%), thus failing to be elected.

==Early life==
Barrett was born in [[Cork (city)|Cork city]] in 1971 and was adopted when he was five years old by a family in [[Borrisokane]], [[County Tipperary]]. Slevin was his adopted parents' name. He identified as Justin Slevin for a period but eventually settled on Barrett, his biological parents' name.<ref name=bigboys /> Barrett is a graduate in Business Studies from [[Athlone Institute of Technology|Athlone RTC]].

==Political activism==
===Early activism (1987–1991)===
In 1991, he was involved in [[Young Fine Gael]]<ref>{{cite news|newspaper=Nenagh Guardian|date=16 March 1991|page=2|title=Borrisokane Branch Young Fine Gael|quote=The following officers were then elected for the coming year ... P.R.O.: Justin Slevin, Gortnagraun, Borrisokane}}</ref> but left because of what he called the [[cynicism (contemporary)|cynicism]] of the party.<ref name=bigboys/>

===Youth Defence (1992–2004)===
From 1992 he became actively involved in the Irish [[anti-abortion movement]], becoming the leader of [[Youth Defence]].<ref name="examinerJan2010">{{cite news |url=http://www.irishexaminer.com/ireland/irish-far-right-groups-remain-on-the-margins-of-political-life-109464.html|title=Irish far right groups remain on the margins of political life |last=Millar |first=Scott |date=12 January 2010 |newspaper=Irish Examiner |quote=...former Youth Defence leader, Justin Barrett.}}</ref><ref name=Analysis2001>{{cite news |url=http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/the-man-wired-to-fight-abortion-510801.html |title=The man wired to fight abortion |last=Killilea |first=Gayle |date=7 October 2001 |newspaper=Independent.ie |quote=...Justin Barrett, Youth Defence's chief spokesman and mastermind.}}</ref><ref name="sundayindoMay2004">{{cite news|newspaper=Sunday Independent|date=16 May 2004|page=117|title=Confessions of a Polcorr|quote=Fianna Fail researchers also dug up information about the Youth Defence leader Justin Barrett's trips to neo-Nazi events in Germany|first=Katie|last=Hannon}}</ref><ref name="indoAug2009">{{cite news|newspaper=Irish Independent|date=21 August 2009|page=12|first=Aideen|last=Sheehan|title=Treaty opponent no stranger to politics|quote=Mr Reynolds has also strongly backed the pro-life cause, and he was closely associated with Youth Defence leader Justin Barrett|url=http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/treaty-opponent-no-stranger-to-politics-26560034.html}}</ref> As a student in [[Athlone RTC]] he unsuccessfully contested the election for the Presidency of [[Union of Students in Ireland]]. During the [[Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland|1995 divorce referendum]], he was spokesman for the Youth Against Divorce campaign. In later years, Barrett himself sought a divorce in 2016.<ref name="thetimes2017">{{cite news|url=https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/barrett-denies-hypocrisy-over-divorce-u-turn-ppqh60lgf|first=Colin|last=Coyle|newspaper=[[The Sunday Times]]|date=7 May 2017|title=Barrett denies hypocrisy over divorce U-turn}}{{paywall}}</ref>

In April 1999, Barrett and seven other Youth Defence members were convicted of public order offences for a protest described at the time as a "mini-riot" outside the [[Adelaide Hospital (Dublin)|Adelaide Hospital]] that had taken place on 16 May 1998.

===No to Nice Campaign===
In 2001, a referendum was held in Ireland to approve the Treaty of Nice. However the Treaty of Nice was rejected by 54% of the Irish people in what is known as the Nice I referendum. The following year a second referendum was held on the Treaty of Nice, known as the Nice II referendum. Justin Barrett campaigned against the Nice Treaty in both referendums. Barrett, then 31 years-old, established the No to Nice campaign with Rory O'Hanlon, a retired High Court judge.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/unsorted/features/the-persuaders-26030780.html|title=The Persuaders|date=12 October 2002|access-date=10 October 2017|newspaper=Irish Independent}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/opinion/analysis/the-man-wired-to-fight-abortion-26251153.html|title=The man wired to fight abortion|newspaper=[[Irish Independent]]|date=7 October 2001|access-date=19 October 2016}}</ref>

During the [[Twenty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland|second Nice campaign]], Barrett became the centre of a controversy over his participation in [[Neo-fascism|neo-fascist]] events in Germany and Italy.

===2004 European Parliament election===
In 2004 Barrett announced his independent candidacy for the European Parliament election of the same year for the East constituency. He set up his headquarters in [[Drogheda]], an area which had experienced a large influx of non-nationals.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/regionals/droghedaindependent/news/politicians-united-in-oppositionto-barrett-27106705.html|title=Politicians united in oppositionto Barrett|date=14 May 2004|access-date=10 October 2017}}</ref> [[Gerry McGeough]], a former [[Provisional Irish Republican Army|Provisional IRA]] volunteer and [[Sinn Féin]] national executive member, defected to Barrett's campaign.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/ira-man-defects-from-sf-to-euro-hopeful-barrett-26220993.html|title=IRA man defects from SF to Euro hopeful Barrett|last1=Williams|first1=Eoghan|date=23 May 2004|access-date=10 October 2017|work=Irish Independent}}</ref> Barrett also supported the [[Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland|Citizenship referendum]] which was held on the same day as the European Parliament election.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/barrett-confirms-he-intends-to-run-for-europe-1.977837|title=Barrett confirms he intends to run for Europe|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=29 April 2004|access-date=11 October 2017}}</ref>

Barrett's campaign focused on immigration, Euroscepticism and abortion.

He achieved 10,997 first preference votes or 2.4% of the total vote in the East constituency and failed to be elected.

Later that year, while attending an immigration debate at [[University College Dublin]]'s [[Literary and Historical Society (University College Dublin)|Literary & Historical Society]], Barrett was assaulted by attendees allegedly belonging to an Irish [[Anti-Fascist|anti-fascist]] group. The debate was chaired by popular RTÉ radio presenter [[Joe Duffy]], and featured [[Áine Ní Chonaill]] of [[Immigration Control Platform]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=67030|title=Justin Barrett 'Attacked' while attending UCD debate|publisher=Indymedia Ireland|date=14 October 2004|access-date=16 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.irishtimes.com/news/barrett-to-decide-action-over-assault-at-ucd-1.1161968|title=Barrett to decide action over assault at UCD|last=Holland|first=Kitty|newspaper=The Irish Times|date=15 October 2004|access-date=9 May 2017}}</ref>

In a press release in November 2016, Justin Barrett announced that he was President of the newly founded [[National Party (Ireland, 2016)|National Party]], a political party that would oppose multi-culturalism and abortion.

While a Eurosceptic, Barrett does not advocate leaving the European Union ("Irexit"). Quoted in August 2019, Barrett reputedly believes that Ireland could have entered bilateral negotiations with the United Kingdom immediately after the [[2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum|Brexit referendum in 2016]] and agreed to a separate deal with the British and then to have the EU accept that deal as part of their own negotiations with the British government.

At the rally, Barrett was joined by Mario Di Giovanni, Youth Defence's representative in Italy. A group of Forza Nuova students, led by the then 25-year-old Marco Gladi, visited Ireland in 2001 to "study" with Youth Defence.

=== Homophobic remarks and activities ===

In 2017, during the party's first ard-fheis held at the [[Trump International Golf Links and Hotel Ireland]], Barrett stated that the National Party was "only for straight Irish people" and defended perceived homophobic comments made by James Reynolds, causing guest speaker John Wilson to walk out of the event in protest.<ref name=":0" />

In 2020, Barrett was involved in the organisation of protests against the Minister for Children, [[Roderic O'Gorman]], and attended these protests alongside members of the National Party. O'Gorman had been attacked by members of the Irish far-right on social media after his appointment as Minister for Children, due to tweeting a photo of himself with [[Peter Tatchell]] at a [[Dublin Pride]] parade in 2018. Tatchell had previously attracted controversy for statements made in 1997 regarding the age of consent laws in Britain. Tatchell later clarified these remarks, saying sex with children was impossible to condone. "This means I condemn it - I oppose adults having sex with children."<ref name=":1">{{Cite news|last=Pollak|first=Sorcha|title=Minister for Children condemns 'homophobic' attacks from 'far-right'|url=https://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/minister-for-children-condemns-homophobic-attacks-from-far-right-1.4297259|access-date=2021-06-09|newspaper=The Irish Times|language=en}}</ref> During a protest, Barrett riled up the crowd against a group of anti-homophobia counter-protestors, causing attendees to rush at the smaller group of counter-protestors and resulting in Garda intervention.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-07-13|title=Scuffles outside Dail as far right campaigners protest against Roderic O'Gorman|url=https://gcn.ie/outside-dail-far-right-campaigners-roderic-ogorman/|access-date=2021-06-09|website=GCN|language=en}}</ref>

O'Gorman said that he was unaware of the views expressed by Tatchell 20 years previously, stating he "probably would have re-considered taking a photo with him" had he read the 1997 letter before the march. He continued, "I would have seen him primarily as an advocate for LGBT rights in the UK in the 1990s and 2002 but more recently particularly vocal on treatment of LGBT people in Russia and Chechnya."<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=Curran|first=Ian|title='The Infodemic': Ireland's weak far-right hopes to gain from online conspiracies and misinformation|url=https://www.thejournal.ie/far-right-presence-ireland-covid-nationalists-5208949-Sep2020/|access-date=2021-06-09|website=TheJournal.ie|language=en}}</ref> While Barrett alleged that O'Gorman was a "paedophile apologist", O'Gorman has publicly stated his condemnation of paedophilia and stated that the accusations made against him were "rooted in homophobia".<ref name=":1" />

=== Racist remarks ===

In a September 2019 video, Barrett stated that if his party were to gain power he would revoke the [[Irish citizenship]] of Green Party councillor and later [[Lord Mayor of Dublin]], [[Hazel Chu]]. Chu was born in Dublin and lived in Ireland since birth. Barrett stated, "''She is an Irish citizen, I accept that, that is the law until we get the law in our own hands''".<ref>{{cite AV media |date=29 September 2019 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQpDWURTOTI |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/kQpDWURTOTI| archive-date=2021-12-12 |url-status=live|title=Drunk Justin Barrett on stripping Irish Citizens of their Citizenship |publisher=Irish wolfhound |via=[[YouTube]] |access-date=30 August 2021}}{{cbignore}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=O'Connor |first=Rachel |date=30 September 2019 |title=Irish far-right National Party leader doused with milkshake during event in Galway |url=https://www.irishpost.com/news/irish-far-right-national-party-politician-doused-milkshake-speech-galway-171897 |work=Irish Post |access-date=13 April 2021}}</ref> Later, a Twitter account operated by Barrett's wife made disparaging and racist comments towards Chu.

[[File:Ali_al-Qaradaghi,_Dorar_Tv_-_Jun_16,_2019_(01).jpg|thumb|Portrait of Ali al-Qaradaghi]]
{{Use dmy dates|date=July 2017}}
{{BLP sources|date=May 2017}}

[[Sheikh]] '''Ali al-Qaradaghi''' ({{lang-ar|علي القره داغي}}, born in Qaradagh, [[Sulaymaniyah]], [[Kurdistan]], [[Iraq]]) is an influential [[Sunni]] scholar of [[Islam]], an expert on [[Sharia]] and [[Fiqh]] combined with [[Islamic economics]]. He is a professor of Jurisprudence at the Faculty of Sharia and Islamic Studies of the [[Qatar University]] in [[Doha]] and he has a Qatari citizenship. He is mercenary of the Turkish terrorist state collaborating with Jihadi terrorist groups around the world.

== Life ==
Al-Qaradaghi is the Secretary General of the [[International Union of Muslim Scholars]] (IUMS, current headquarters in Doha, the capital of [[Qatar]], headed by Sheikh [[Yusuf al-Qaradawi]]). He is Vice President of the [[Association of Muslim Schools]] of [[Tehran]] and a member of many other Islamic organizations, including the [[International Islamic Fiqh Academy]], the [[Organisation of Islamic Cooperation]] and the [[European Council for Fatwa and Research]]. He is the founder and president of the Islamic Kurdish League, founded in 1988, and President of the Board of Trustees of the University of Human Development in the city of [[Sulaimaniyah]].
He is the chairman of the Sharia supervisory board of the Qatar First Bank (QFB)<ref>{{cite web|title=Shari'ah Board|url=http://www.qfb.com.qa/about-us/shariah-board/|website=qfb.com.qa|accessdate=29 May 2017}}</ref> and a member of the Sharia supervisory boards of several Islamic institutions and banks, including [[Qatar National Bank]], [[Dubai Islamic Bank]], [[Doha Bank]] Islamic Branch, [[Qatar Insurance]], Gulf Investment House and [[Ahli United Bank]]. He started a study of Sharia at the University of [[Baghdad]] and graduated with a doctorate at the [[Al-Azhar University]] in [[Cairo]].
He is the author of numerous works on the Islamic economy and Comparative Jurisprudence.
He has been granted numerous awards and honors and is a member of numerous councils, committees and associations.
Ali al-Qaradaghi took part in the International Theological Conference "Islamic Doctrine against Radicalism" in Moscow on 25–26 May 2012.

== Media reviews ==
According to Chechen historian and political analyst [[Mairbek Vatchagaev]] (the article published by the American Jamestown Foundation), Ali al-Qaradaghi and the International Union of Muslim scholars for Moscow play an important role in internal Russian Islamic stability:<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mairbek|first1=Vatchagaev|title=Qatari Sheikh Becomes Tool for Kremlin in Struggle Against North Caucasus Militants|url=https://jamestown.org/program/qatari-sheikh-becomes-tool-for-kremlin-in-struggle-against-north-caucasus-militants-2/|website=jamestown.org|publisher=Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 11 Issue: 203|accessdate=30 May 2017}}</ref>
Russian authorities do not simply want Sheikh Ali al-Qaradaghi to declare the jihad in the North Caucasus to be illegal. Moscow regards this international Islamic organization as a potential means to control part of Russia's own Muslim population, which could issue fatwas on important questions of Islam and be recognized. Moscow, however, fails to see that only those Muslims who already recognize the official Muslim clergy will listen to al-Qaradaghi. That portion of the Muslim community in Russia which deems cooperation between the authorities and the Muslim clergy unacceptable will not be influenced by al-Qaradaghi.

He is an active supporter of Yusuf al-Qaradawi and his project "Muhammad: A Mercy for All" [16], and called upon all Muslims to support this project financially to IslamOnline.net (IOL) (with donations to the Qatar Islamic Bank in Doha, Qatar) and to give moral support:
We have decided to launch a big Web site about Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): A Mercy for All under the supervision of IslamOnline.net, the greatest global Islamic Web site on the Internet. [...] We call upon our brothers and sisters in Islam to support this project financially, especially that the eminent scholar Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, who supervises the implementation of the project, has given a fatwa to the effect that it is permissible to pay zakah, sadaqah and doubtful money to IslamOnline.net as a donation. Sheikh Al-Qaradawi, moreover, has described this project as 'jihad of the modern age.' We also call upon Muslims to give moral support to the project by inviting the friends of IslamOnline.net to participate voluntarily in its activities and services. We are going to prepare special programs to show how they can share in this respect.“
On his reaction to the murder of Muslim students in Chapel Hill shortly after the Paris attacks, Spiegel (the Mirror) reported:<ref>{{cite news|title=FBI untersucht Ermordung der muslimischen Studenten|url=http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/mord-an-muslimen-in-chapel-hill-fbi-untersucht-a-1018464.html|newspaper=Der Spiegel|date=13 February 2015 |publisher=Spiegel|accessdate=30 May 2017}}</ref>
The Secretary General of the International Union of Islamic Leaders in Qatar, Ali al-Karadaghi, criticized the silence of the" international media on this "terrorist attack". "Are the leaders of the whole world going to honour the victims?" he wrote on Twitter alluding to the huge mourning ceremony for the victims of the Islamic attacks in Paris in January.

'''Trixie and Katya''' is a [[Double act|comedy duo]] consisting of [[drag queen]]s [[Trixie Mattel]] (Brian Firkus) and [[Katya Zamolodchikova]] (Brian McCook). The two have been known for their individual careers as entertainers and often as a popular double act. They first met as contestants on the [[RuPaul's Drag Race (season 7)|seventh season of RuPaul's Drag Race]] and quickly became audience favourites, developing an even larger audience as they began to appear together in December 2015 on [[YouTube]].

==Style and performance==
The comedic style of Trixie and Katya developed through the filming of their webseries ''[[UNHhhh]]'' and is often based around [[Drag queen|Drag]] and [[Improvisational comedy]]. The pair have also acted together on live stage productions and feature as a double act in a variety of drag performances including a stage production drag remake of cult film [[Romy and Michele's High School Reunion]] titled "Trixie and Katya's High School Reunion"<ref>{{cite web |last1=Grant |first1=David |title=You’ll rewatch Trixie Mattel and Katya’s "Romy and Michele" interpretative dance… time after time |url=https://www.queerty.com/youll-rewatch-trixie-mattel-katyas-romy-michele-interpretative-dance-time-time-20171123 |publisher=Queerty |access-date=14 July 2022}}</ref> as well as a live show in Las Vegas in 2019.<ref>{{cite web |title=Interview: Trixie and Katya Take Vegas! |url=https://www.fivesensesreeling.com/blog/2019/9/10/trixie-and-katya-take-vegas |website=Five Senses Reeling |publisher=Obsessed |access-date=14 July 2022}}</ref> Their comedy often plays on the contrast between the two drag queens, with Trixie being a self-described [[workaholic]] and [[Entrepreneurship|entrepreneur]], and Katya having a much more chaotic and carefree personality which is often the catalyst for the [[Surreal humour|absurdist humour]] that many of their conversations develop into.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Tanzer |first1=Myles |title=Trixie and Katya are out of their minds and they’re going to take over the world |url=https://www.thefader.com/2017/11/20/trixie-katya-interview-show-viceland-unhhh |website=Fader |access-date=14 July 2022}}</ref> The two often make fun of [[LGBT stereotypes]] as well as [[popular culture]]. In their live shows they often incorporate music from their own individual careers as well as a variety of [[Comedy sketch|sketches]] and improvisation.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Scott |first1=Kate |title=Review: Trixie and Katya Go Above and Beyond at Auditorium Theatre |url=https://thirdcoastreview.com/2022/04/05/trixie-and-katya-go-above-and-beyond-at-auditorium-theatre/ |publisher=Third Coast Review |access-date=14 July 2022}}</ref>

Trixie and Katya often credit their editors Christopher Smith and Ron Hill for much of the success of UNHhhh, citing that their style of editing is an important part of the comedy style of the show.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Morris |first1=Lauren |title=Exclusive – Drag Race’s Katya and Trixie Mattel reveal their highlights of season 13: "Some people want to see the world burn and I’m one of those people" |url=https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/reality-tv/rupauls-drag-race-katya-trixie-mattel-season-13-highlights-exclusive-newsupdate/ |publisher=Radio Times |access-date=14 July 2022}}</ref>

== Web series and TV ==
The two first appeared together on the [[RuPaul's Drag Race (season 7)|seventh season of ''RuPaul's Drag Race'']] first aired on March 2, 2015, although not as a duo but as individual contestants on the show. They first appeared as a double act on [[World of Wonder (company)|World of Wonder]]'s YouTube channel on December 31, 2015 as guest hosts of the web series "''Fashion Photo RuView''".,<ref>{{Citation |title=Trixie & Katya's Fashion Photo RuView, RuView of Raja & Raven |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUtKgqq4epM |language=en |access-date=2021-07-15}}</ref> usually hosted by fellow drag queens [[Raja Gemini|Raja]] and [[Raven (drag queen)|Raven]]. The positive reception for that episode resulted in World of Wonder launching ''[[UNHhhh]]'', a comedy web series featuring the duo. The series became one of the most successful shows on the ''WOW Presents'' YouTube channel and earned them their first [[Streamy Award]] nomination for Show of the Year at the [[7th Streamy Awards]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=7th Annual Nominees |url=https://www.streamys.org/nominees-winners/7th-annual-nominees/ |access-date=2021-07-15 |website=The Streamy Awards |language=en}}</ref>

In November 2017, Trixie and Katya's web series was suspended after its second season and the two started [[The Trixie & Katya Show|''The Trixie and Katya Show'']] on the TV network [[Viceland]]. The show was similar to ''UNHhhh'' but its format was adapted for a television audience.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-08-19 |title=Trixie Mattel and Katya Land Their Own Vice Show |url=https://www.out.com/popnography/2017/8/19/trixie-mattel-and-katya-land-their-own-vice-show |access-date=2021-07-15 |website=www.out.com |language=en}}</ref> ''The Trixie & Katya Show'' was cancelled after one season and the series returned to YouTube for its third season in October 2018.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Trixie Mattel & Katya Announce New Season of 'UNHhhh' & More at RuPaul's DragCon NYC Reunion Panel |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/pride/8477533/trixie-mattel-katya-return-to-unhhhh-rupauls-drag-con-2018 |access-date=2021-07-15 |website=Billboard |language=en}}</ref> On 21 April 2021, ''UNHhhh'' debuted its sixth season.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-03-25 |title=Trixie and Katya Are Back! ‘UNHhhh’ Season 6 Premieres April 21 |url=https://worldofwonder.net/trixie-and-katya-are-back-unhhhh-season-6-premieres-april-21/ |access-date=2021-07-15 |website=The WOW Report |language=en-US}}</ref>

In November 2019, Trixie and Katya began starring in ''[[I Like to Watch|I Like To Watch]]'', a comedy web series produced and streamed by [[Netflix]] on its YouTube channel.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-11-21 |title=Trixie and Katya Just Launched a New Show for Netflix |url=https://www.out.com/television/2019/11/21/trixie-and-katya-just-launched-show-netflix |access-date=2021-07-15 |website=www.out.com |language=en}}</ref>

The '''UK Championship''' is a professional ranking [[snooker]] tournament. It is one of snooker's prestigious [[Triple Crown (snooker)|Triple Crown]] events, along with the [[World Snooker Championship|World Championship]] and the [[Masters (snooker)|Masters]]. It is usually held at the [[York Barbican|Barbican Centre]], [[York]]. [[Ronnie O'Sullivan]] has won the tournament a record seven times, followed by [[Steve Davis]] with six titles and [[Stephen Hendry]] with five. [[Zhao Xintong]] is the reigning champion, winning his first title in [[2021 UK Championship|2021]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/59540759 |title=UK Snooker Championship final: Zhao Xintong beats Luca Brecel |date=5 December 2021 |last=Hafez |first=Shamoon |work=BBC Sport |access-date=5 December 2021}}</ref>

==History==
The UK Championship was first held in [[1977 UK Championship|1977]] in [[Blackpool Tower#Tower Circus|Tower Circus]], [[Blackpool]] as the '''United Kingdom Professional Snooker Championship''', an event open only to British residents and passport holders. [[Patsy Fagan]] won the inaugural tournament by defeating [[Doug Mountjoy]] by 12 frames to 9 in the final and won the first prize of £2000. The following year the event moved to the Guild Hall, [[Preston, Lancashire|Preston]], where it remained until [[1997 UK Championship|1997]].<ref name=cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk>{{cite web |last=Turner |first=Chris |title=UK Championship |url=http://www.cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/uk.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120216160153/http://www.cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/uk.html|archive-date=16 February 2012 |work=cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk |publisher=Chris Turner's Snooker Archive |access-date=1 March 2011}}</ref>

The rules were changed in [[1984 UK Championship|1984]] when the tournament was granted [[Snooker world rankings|ranking status]] and all professionals were allowed to enter. Since then, it has carried more ranking points than any tournament other than the [[World Snooker Championship|World Championship]]<ref name=cajt.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/> until being overtaken by the International Championship and China Open, both of which offer a higher number of ranking points based on the amount of money in pounds sterling on offer for winning the event.

The tournament has seen many memorable finals. In [[1977 UK Championship|1977]] and [[1979 UK Championship|1979]], it provided [[Patsy Fagan]] and [[John Virgo]] with their first and only major tournament wins respectively. In [[1980 UK Championship|1980]], it was [[Steve Davis]]'s first of his record 84 professional tournament wins. In [[1981 UK Championship|1981]], the final between Davis and [[Terry Griffiths]] set the stage for four more final battles between Davis and Griffiths that were to dominate the rest of the season before their unexpected losses in the first round of the [[1982 World Snooker Championship|1982 World Championship]].

In [[1983 UK Championship|1983]], [[Alex Higgins]] beat Davis 16–15 after having trailed 0–7 at the end of the first session. In [[1985 UK Championship|1985]], [[Willie Thorne]] led Davis 13–8 at the start of the evening session, only to miss a simple blue off its spot and lose 16–14. The victory regenerated Davis's confidence after his devastating World Championship loss; Thorne, on the other hand, never won another ranking title.

In [[1988 UK Championship|1988]], [[Doug Mountjoy]] became the oldest winner of the [[1988 UK Championship|UK Championship]] aged 46 years old when he was widely viewed as just making up the numbers against the rising [[Stephen Hendry]], producing a stunning display to win 16–12. Even more astonishingly, he was to win the [[Classic (snooker)|Mercantile Credit Classic]] the following month, which at the time made Mountjoy only the fourth player to win two ranking tournaments in a row. This made him the second oldest ranking event winner after [[Ray Reardon]] (50).

[[Stephen Hendry]]'s [[1989 UK Championship|1989]] win prefigured his decade of dominance similar to the one prefigured by Davis's win in [[1980 UK Championship|1980]]; its significance was emphasised by the fact that the losing finalist was Davis himself. Hendry's 16–15 win the following year, over Davis again, spoke to his unique qualities of nerve. The Hendry/[[Ken Doherty]] final of [[1994 UK Championship|1994]] is considered by many players as one of Hendry's best performance, as he won 10–5 making 7 [[century break]]s along the way, six of which were in the span of eight frames played. Doherty has appeared in two more memorable finals.

In [[1993 UK Championship|1993]], The
format of the final was reduced from the best of 31 frames to the best of 19 frames. This is the format still used for the final to the current day. [[Ronnie O'Sullivan]] became the youngest-ever winner of the tournament (and any ranking tournament) aged just 17 years old . Eight years later, in [[2001 UK Championship|2001]], he delivered the final's best winning margin since it had become the best of 19 frames in the 1993 tournament, beating Ken Doherty 10–1. Three years later, in [[2004 UK Championship|2004]], [[Stephen Maguire]] repeated the feat against [[David Gray (snooker player)|David Gray]]. Doherty almost won the tournament in the [[2002 UK Championship|2002]] final against [[Mark Williams (snooker player)|Mark Williams]], but lost 9–10 in a dramatic deciding frame.

The [[2005 UK Championship|2005]] tournament saw Davis, aged 48, reached his first ranking tournament final for almost two years and make his highest break in tournament play for 23 years. In a match that featured the widest age gap between finalists in professional tournament history, he lost 6–10 to the 18-year-old [[Ding Junhui]]. The following year, [[Peter Ebdon]] won the title and, in doing so, became the first and only man to have both won and lost a World and a UK Championship final to Stephen Hendry. The event offered £500,000 prize money, with the winner receiving £70,000.

In [[2007 UK Championship|2007]], the tournament was won by Ronnie O'Sullivan for the fourth time, again with some ease, as he beat Stephen Maguire 10–2 in the final. The tournament was also notable for the longest televised frame (77 minutes) between [[Marco Fu]] and [[Mark Selby]] and Ronnie O'Sullivan's maximum 147 break in the deciding frame of the semi-final. The [[2009 UK Championship|2009]] final saw the reigning world champion John Higgins lose to Ding Junhui, after he missed the brown and the chance to go 8–6 in front.

The [[2010 UK Championship|2010]] final turned out to be another dramatic match, instantly described by many commentators as an all-time classic. At one point, John Higgins, playing in his first major tournament after the end of [[John Higgins#Suspension|a six-month ban for his involvement in match-fixing discussions]], was 5–9 down to Mark Williams. However, he won the next two frames. At 7–9, Williams led by 29 points with only 27 on the table, leaving Higgins requiring a snooker to remain in the tournament. Higgins got the snooker and cleared the colours. Another frame won by Higgins took the match to the decider. Finally, with only brown, blue, pink and black left at the table, Higgins potted the brown into a top pocket by playing cross-double across the long axis of the table and then added a difficult long blue and equally difficult pink, thereby winning the frame and thus the tournament by 10–9. In the emotional post-match interview, he described his win as his finest hour and dedicated it to his terminally ill father.<ref>{{cite web |title=Higgins – My Finest Hour |url=https://wst.tv/higgins-my-finest-hour/ |work=World Snooker |publisher=[[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association]] |access-date=28 March 2021}}</ref>

In [[2015 UK Championship|2015]], the final featured Australia's [[Neil Robertson]] and China's [[Liang Wenbo]], the first time that a UK Championship final had been contested between two overseas players.<ref>{{cite web|title=Robertson sets up final date with Liang at UK Championship|url=http://www.rte.ie/sport/snooker/2015/1205/751555-robertson-sets-up-final-date-with-wenbo/|work=[[RTÉ Sport]]|date=5 December 2015|access-date=5 December 2015}}</ref> The [[2016 UK Championship|2016]] final between Selby and O'Sullivan saw five century breaks in the final six frames of the match as Selby won 10–7. The next two editions of the tournament - in [[2017 UK Championship|2017]] and [[2018 UK Championship|2018]], were captured by O'Sullivan who became the first player since Stephen Hendry in [[1996 UK Championship|1996]] to successfully defend the UK title. In addition, O'Sullivan set a new record for most UK titles with seven.

Between 2012 and 2018, the event has been won by either Neil Robertson, Mark Selby or Ronnie O'Sullivan. Selby (2012 & 2016) and Robertson (2013 & 2015) both have two wins in that period while O'Sullivan has won 3 times (2014, 2017 & 2018). The final line ups of 2013 and 2016 featured a combination of these three players. In the former, Robertson defeated Selby and in the latter Selby beat O'Sullivan.

[[Daniil Medvedev]] is the defending champion.<ref>{{Cite web|date=20 November 2020|title=Giant Killer!

[[Hubert Hurkacz]], [[Casper Ruud]], [[Jannik Sinner]] (as an alternate replacing [[Matteo Berrettini]]) and [[Cameron Norrie]] (as an alternate replacing [[Stefanos Tsitsipas]]) are making their debuts at the event.<ref>{{Cite web|date=5 November 2021|title=Hurkacz completes 2021 Nitto ATP Finals field|url=https://www.nittoatpfinals.com/en/news/field-is-set-nitto-atp-finals-2021-nitto|access-date=2021-11-11|website=Nitto ATP Finals}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=17 November 2021|title=Tsitipas Withdraws From Nitto ATP Finals, Norrie Takes His Place|url=https://www.atptour.com/en/news/tsitipas-nitto-atp-finals-2021-withdrawal|access-date=2021-11-17|website=ATP Tour}}</ref>

Sinner became the first player in the Year-end championships since [[Pablo Carreño Busta]] in [[2017 ATP Finals – Singles|2017]] to play as an alternate, the youngest player to win a match since [[Lleyton Hewitt]] in [[2000 Tennis Masters Cup – Singles|2000]]. He is also the youngest player to compete since [[Juan Martin del Potro]] in [[2008 Tennis Masters Cup – Singles|2008]] and the first alternate to win a match since [[Janko Tipsarević]] in [[2011 ATP World Tour Finals – Singles|2011]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nittoatpfinals.com/en/news/sinner-turin-2021-tuesday-reaction|title= Sinner soaks in Turin debut: "I feel good on there courts"|website= Nitto ATP Finals|access-date=16 November 2021}}</ref> This was the first edition of the ATP finals to feature both of its first two alternate players since [[2005 Tennis Masters Cup – Singles|2005]].

Berrettini retired from his match against [[Alexander Zverev]] after sustaining an abdominal injury and later withdrew from the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eurosport.co.uk/tennis/atp-finals/2021/alexander-zverev-v-matteo-berrettini-atp-finals-live-updates_sto8627859/story.shtml|title=Matteo Berrettini suffers heartbreak as injury ends ATP Finals match against Sacha Zverev to leave tournament in doubt|work=[[Eurosport]]|last1=Ruthven|first1=Graham|date=14 November 2021|accessdate=14 November 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.atptour.com/en/news/berrettini-nitto-atp-finals-2021-withdrawal|title=Berrettini Withdraws From Nitto ATP Finals, Sinner Steps In|website=ATP Tour|access-date=16 November 2021}}</ref>. Tsitsipas withdrew because of an elbow injury.

This is only the third time that both alternates have been required to replace players in the ATP Finals. The previous times were the [[1998 ATP Tour World Championships - Singles|1998 ATP Tour World Championships]] and the [[1997 ATP Tour World Championships - Singles|1997 ATP Tour World Championships]].

The [[Australian Open series|Grampians Trophy]] is a new addition to the [[WTA Tour]] in [[2021 WTA Tour|2021]]. This tournament was created for players who had originally intended to participate in the [[2021 Yarra Valley Classic]] or the [[2021 Gippsland Trophy]], but were forced to undergo strict quarantine measures upon arrival in Australia due to confirmed COVID-19 cases found on several of the chartered player flights to Australia.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.wtatennis.com/news/1984853/third-wta-500-event-added-to-melbourne-summer-series|title=Third WTA 500 event added to Melbourne Summer Series|website=www.wtatennis.com}}</ref>

Due to a delayed schedule because of a COVID-19 case at a tournament quarantine hotel and the semifinals taking place just one day before the start of the [[2021 Australian Open|Australian Open]], the final was not played. This meant that both the finalists [[Anett Kontaveit]] and [[Ann Li (tennis)|Ann Li]] received the finalist's prize money of US$33,520 and the finalist's ranking points of 305 points, not "the prize money they would have pocketed from winning the title outright".<ref>[https://www.wtatennis.com/players/318425/anett-kontaveit/matches Anett Kontaveit matches] at WTA</ref>

'''Ronald Antonio O'Sullivan''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|OBE}} (born 5 December 1975) is an English professional [[snooker]] player who is widely recognised as one of the most talented and accomplished players in the history of the sport. As a six-time [[World Snooker Championship|world champion]], a record seven-time [[Masters (snooker)|Masters champion]], and a record seven-time [[UK Championship|UK champion]], he has won a record 20 [[Triple Crown (snooker)|Triple Crown]] titles, surpassing [[Stephen Hendry]]'s previous record of 18. He also holds the record for the most [[List of snooker players by number of ranking titles|ranking titles]] in the sport, with 37. He has won career prize money of over £12 million{{citation needed|date=November 2021}}, and has been ranked [[List of world number one snooker players|world number one]] on multiple occasions.

After an impressive junior career, O'Sullivan turned professional in 1992, aged 16. He won his first ranking title at the [[1993 UK Championship]] aged 17 years and 358 days, making him the youngest player to win a professional ranking event, a record he still holds. He is also the youngest player to win the Masters, which he first achieved in [[1995 Masters (snooker)|1995]], aged 19 years and 69 days. Now noted for his longevity in the sport, he has competed in a record 29 consecutive World Championships between 1993 and 2021. In the [[2019 Players Championship (snooker)|2019 Players Championship]] final, he became the first and only player to reach 1,000 career century breaks in professional competition, a record he has since extended to over 1,100 centuries. He has achieved the highest number of officially recognised maximum breaks in professional competition, with 15, as well as the fastest competitive maximum break, compiled in a time of 5 minutes and 8 seconds at the [[1997 World Snooker Championship|1997 World Championship]].

Outside his playing career, he has worked as a pundit for [[Eurosport]], has written crime novels, autobiographies, and a health and fitness book, and has starred in the miniseries ''Ronnie O'Sullivan's American Hustle''. He was awarded an [[Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire|OBE]] in the [[2016 New Year Honours]].

== Criticisms of the sport ==
After [[Barry Hearn]] took charge of World Snooker in 2010, O'Sullivan became a vocal critic of how Hearn reconfigured the professional tour. He took issue with increased travel expectations, flat 128 draws that required top professionals to play more rounds against lower ranked opponents, reduced prize money for 147 breaks, and tournament venues he saw as inadequate. He accused snooker's governing body of bullying and intimidating him, claimed that Hearn was running a "dictatorship,"<ref>{{cite web|title=Ronnie O'Sullivan: Barry Hearn rejects five-time world champion's 'dictator' claim|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/46198716|access-date=13 November 2018|publisher=BBC}}</ref> protested alleged mistreatment by snooker's authorities by giving robotic or monosyllabic responses in interviews,<ref>{{Cite news|date=8 February 2017|title='Ronnie the robot': O'Sullivan's protest interview|language=en-GB|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/snooker/38912928|access-date=1 September 2020}}</ref> and refused opportunities to make maximum breaks in apparent protest over inadequate prize money for the achievement.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Wednesday|last2=April 26|last3=Pm|first3=2017-17:14|date=26 April 2017|title=Ronnie O'Sullivan appears to turn down maximum break for 146|url=https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/arid-30787256.html|access-date=1 September 2020|website=Irish Examiner|language=en}}</ref> In 2018, he threatened to form a breakaway snooker tour akin to the [[split in darts]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=O'Sullivan 'ready' with breakaway tour|language=en-GB|work=BBC Sport|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/46419267|access-date=1 September 2020}}</ref>

77.75.244.22: /* Jamie Burnett has not made a maximum break in Snooker */

==Thanks==
Thanks for fixing my mistake on the 2018 European Tour page. Actually, I didn't mean to put "TBA" in the location slot. I had copy and pasted from another page, and I simply forgot to take the "TBA" out. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:34, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

::Yes, I added it. Funny though, when I saw the link you posted above, I initially thought it was a mistake, because it has "2017" in it. Strange that it would have that when it's a new article. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:53, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

==EurAsia Cup TV times==
What does your TV schedule show for the EurAsia Cup? Here, the times are peculiar in the sense that it seems to finish a little early each day. My schedule shows 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM (4:00 to 7:00 AM your time). Do you get any more coverage than that, later into the day? For me, it seems a little early to finish.

==Joburg Open==
With the event now being tri sanctioned with the Asian Tour, and with 30 more players, did you see the breakdown of the nationalities? Here is the difference with the continents involved with last month's tournament compared to the tournament in early 2017:

+7 North America 
+1 South America 
−4 Europe 
+5 Oceania 
+8 Asia 
+13 Africa

As you can see, Europe is the only continent to lose numbers. Strange. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:46, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

== Tylenol par 3 shootout. Should these wins really count as professional wins ?. ==

Hi i am just wondering if par 3 shootouts really are professional wins that need to be added to players pages ?. Ie we do not count the Masters par 3 contest and that is much the same thing would you agree. These are mickey mouse events i do not think they should be included, what do you think ?. Regards [[Special:Contributions/31.200.174.254|31.200.174.254]] ([[User talk:31.200.174.254|talk]]) 05:56, 12 February 2018 (UTC).
:[[Tylenol Par-3 Shootout]]. I suspect it was a serious event, although a made-for-TV skins game. The Masters par 3 is just a bit of fun. I'm thinking of the Tylenol Par-3 Shootout more like the Hero World Challenge and as such puting in Other Wins. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 09:31, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Nigej the Hero World Challenge carries world ranking points. It is a par 3 contest this is not tournament golf !. Wikipedia all of a sudden has to add everything as professional wins when some events are not !. Would you agree ?.

:I wouldn't even give the Hero World Challenge ranking points but it's not my decision. Wikipedia tends to follow the official line even when we think it's wrong. The problem with "professional wins", is that there's no accepted list and we have to decide for ourselves. Personally I'm happy with par-3 events. After all it's just golf on a shorter course. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:27, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

My point is you think its ok but does that make it a professional event.

==Shot Clock Masters==
Do you know why this event has 36 fewer players this year than it had last year? 156 last year as the Lyoness Open, and 120 this year with the new name. And it has 33 fewer Europeans this year than last year. Any idea why so many fewer players? It seems odd they would do this, there is plenty of daylight at this time of year. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:41, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
:No idea really. Seems a little odd since the whole purpose of the shot clock is to speed things up, which should allow a bigger field. I can only think that they only have a limited number of clocks or referees who can use them. Looks like they will need 20 on the first two days.

== Vandal on the World Seniors Championship is unreal ==

Hi as you can see what I have been dealing with some guy keeps changing the status of the World Seniors Championship because he thinks it relates to the main tour. The Seniors have their own tour like the golf Seniors. He is editing this from multiple ips. Can you help me stop this ?. Regards [[Special:Contributions/178.167.134.252|178.167.134.252]] ([[User talk:178.167.134.252|talk]]) 22:09, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
* LOL. Read what is vandal first. Here is the sources:
** "Open to any player not currently on tour aged over 40" (from pdf-file in 2017 article);
** "This tournament is only open to '''Amateur''' players not currently in the 128" (from pdf-file in 2018 article);
* So, only amateur (non-tour) players were eligible to play since 2017. "Non-ranking events" is a terminology used for the events with pro players (otherwise, Q-School, IBSF championships are the "non-ranking events" also). All players outside PRO-128 are amateurs; see references. [[Special:Contributions/46.211.110.147|46.211.110.147]] ([[User talk:46.211.110.147|talk]]) 22:13, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

But you are not listening World Seniors events are part of a new World Seniors Tour like in golf. Jimmy White, Ken Doherty and Steve Davis have played in the events. It is also opened up by Jason Francis to anybody who gets through qualifying can join the legends in the tournament proper. It is a Seniors Tour like in golf and all the editors agree here they are non-ranking wins on the Seniors Tour OK! [[Special:Contributions/178.167.134.252|178.167.134.252]] ([[User talk:178.167.134.252|talk]]) 22:24, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
* They were "non-ranking" until 2016 only when they were organized by World Snooker and eligible for the main tour pro-players. Since 2017, seniors events were organized by Snooker Legends, not World Snooker even, and open for the amateur players only, per cited references.

It does not matter Snooker Legends actually started all the Seniors World Tour events so you are wrong. They were only introduced in the last season 4 of them as non-ranking ranking events OK? . It's a Seniors Tour event non ranking. And by the way the WPBSA/SNOOKER Legends are jointly running them next year [[Special:Contributions/178.167.134.252|178.167.134.252]] ([[User talk:178.167.134.252|talk]]) 22:35, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
* Try to find the sources for your claims first (about "non-ranking"). It's an amateur events since 2017 per refs in the article. [[Special:Contributions/46.211.110.147|46.211.110.147]] ([[User talk:46.211.110.147|talk]]) 22:38, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

You are not listening to anything I am saying Jason Francis wants qualifiers to get through sectional qualifying to play the legends on the World Seniors Tour. On the Snooker talk pages if you go back and read the Status of these events Betty Logan. Andy Gray and Nigej all agreed the status of the Seniors Tour events should be non-ranking go back and check if you like ?

* It's a pity for you, but Mark Davis, Jimmy White and Ken Doherty didn't play in 2017 and 2018 because they were not eligible for that year's editions, as it was exclusively for non-tour players, per sources. "Ranking" events are played with Top-128 pro-players (and included into the world ranking), and all "non-ranking" events (Masters, Champions League, Champions of Champions, Hong Kong, Haining) are played for same Top-128 pro-players (with the addition of the some wild cards).

===Comment===
I take a simple view. We can't call the [[2017 World Seniors Championship]] an amateur event when the winner wins £10,000. That would be just plain confusing - Wikipedia is meant to be readable by ordinary folk. See [[Amateur sports]]: "Amateur sports are sports in which participants engage largely or entirely without remuneration." Maybe the organisers have some strange idea what "amateur" means or maybe the participants are "amateurs" in some strange sense I don't understand, but the event can't be called "amateur" surely. Whether we call it "non-ranking" (as a catch-all for anything that isn't a [[ranking event]]) or something else I don't really care.

==Kolon Korea Open==
I was looking through my TV cable box schedule, and it is showing that Golf Channel is planning to show us live coverage of the Korea Open, which is unusual. It might be a mistake, and it might not be, time will tell in the next few days. I was wondering, does your TV schedule indicate that you will be receiving coverage of the Korea Open in the UK? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:21, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
:No, nothing in the UK, certainly not live. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 10:26, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
::Okay, thanks. I've found the cable box schedule with mistakes before. Late last year, it was showing that Golf Channel was going to show the Australian Masters. Clearly that was going to be a mistake, as the Australian Masters hasn't been played in a couple years now. .. Usually, the only time that Golf Channel would make it a point to show us an Asian Tour event was when it was late in the year, and they would show us the Thailand Golf Championship (which was not played last year anyway). But other than that, Golf Channel doesn't typically show us any Asian based golf tournaments that aren't sanctioned with the PGA Tour. Hopefully this year will be different, because I'm hoping they show the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament and the Japan Open, both of which are on the Japan Tour, as you know. They especially should show the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament, since Brooks Koepka will be trying to win his 3rd in a row. Our Golf Channel has been known to make exceptions; in February 2014, they decided to show the Ladies Australian Masters because Cheyenne Woods was in it. And two years ago, they decided to show the Singapore Open because Jordan Spieth was in it. So, with Brooks Koepka being the hot thing of the moment, Golf Channel really should make another exception and finally show us the Dunlop Phoenix tournament. We'll find out later this year. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:41, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

::Well it turns out that the TV box schedule was correct, Golf Channel is showing the Korea Open. I'm thinking they are showing it because it's in the Open qualifying. Some recognizable players in it are Kevin Na, KT Kim, Keith Horn, YE Yang, Richard T. Lee, Gaganjeet Bhullar, Sang Moon Bae, Miguel Tabuena, Terry Pilkadaris, Jeev Milkha Singh, and Jbe' Kruger. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 08:34, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
:::That must be right I think - that they are showing it because it's in the Open qualifying. Probably being an Open qualifying event has improved the field too, although perhaps its just that its an Asian tour event this year (some 50 non-Korean). Seems to be an event on the way up.

==British Amateur coverage==
Do you know if there is any TV coverage of the Amateur Championship there in the UK? I don't think we have ever had it on TV here, not on Golf Channel nor any other network.
I keep hoping to find it on TV here some day. .. Do you get at least a little TV coverage of it there? And if so, do you know how much? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:15, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

==3M Open conflict==
I want to ask your opinion, how to go about changing over a tournament from one tour to another.

Last year, when the tournament in the Dominican was changed from the Web.com Tour to the PGA Tour, we kept the page as it is, and simply added a new frame on the page to show that it is now a PGA Tour event.

Well now, the 3M Championship on the Champions Tour will be called the 3M Open and changed over to the PGA Tour. The problem is that I found that an editor (one I have never noticed as a golf editor) has made a seperate page for the 3M Open.

So, here is the question; do you think the new page should be kept? Or do you think we should ask for it to be deleted, and then simply use the existing 3M page next year for the 3M Open, the same as we continued to use the page for Dominican event once it was changed over to a PGA Tour event? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 16:50, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
:It's true that we usually keep the same page when tour affiliations change. It's very common outside US/Europe - especially with the Asian Tour/OneAsia rivalry that existed for a few years. I think in this case (the 3M Open) that it's more than that. Seniors event to main tour and with a different name. Probably the PGA Tour are thinking of it as a new event too. So I'm inclined to say leave it as it is - new page for the [[3M Open]]. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 17:01, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

==Open telecast question==
Hi Nigej, I was wondering how extensive the coverage of the Open is in the UK? I read something in social media the other day in which many British viewers were upset about the way the coverage is being handled. Which network(s) is carrying it there, and for how long has that network been having it? Here, the Golf Channel/NBC family has had it since 2016, and they are currently giving nearly 50 hours combined. We actually receive more hours of coverage of the Open Championship than we receive of the US Open. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 06:22, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
:I think it's similar to last year. The BBC showing 2 hour highlights each evening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cq5w0/broadcasts/upcoming Sky has it's own pay channel with complete coverage. 14 hours straight today and tomorrow, 11 hours Sat and Sun. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 06:47, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
::Thank you. I thought that I heard Sky had acquired the coverage not long ago, but I wasn't sure.

==European Open TV coverage==
I was wondering, are the 3rd and 4th rounds of the European Open shown live there, or are they shown on a delay? Here, with all that Golf Channel has to show for the week, there's a time conflict, and Golf Channel ends up showing the 3rd and 4th rounds on a 19 hour delay. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

Did you find out if it is on a delay there like it is here? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:07, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
:Yes live in the UK. European Open live until 4pm UK time (5pm German time) - last tee time is 11:45 UK time, then over to the Senior Open (where the last tee time is 2:40pm) until 7pm and then the PGA Tour after that's over. Sorry missed the question before. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:16, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks. I saw the posting a minute ago that McEvoy won. I will see the coverage of it when Golf Channel shows it late tonight at 2:00 AM. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 15:52, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

==BMW PGA Championship winners template==
I made this template some time ago ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:BMW_PGA_Championship_champions ... , and I was wondering if it should be added to the pages of all the winners, in the same way that the template for the Players Championship is added to the pages of all the winners for that one? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
:I guess it ought to be. Of course we don't have great coverage of individual events (only from 2011) but I don't see why that should be a problem. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 18:45, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

|}
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

;June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers. Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly '''1,400''' already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

;New technology, new rules
*New features are shortly going to be added to the [[Special:NewPagesFeed]] which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/AfC Process Improvement May 2018#Execution plan and status|this page]].
*Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
*Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.

;Editathons
*Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the '[[User:Evad37/MoveToDraft|move to draft]]' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

;''The Signpost''
*The next issue of [[Wikipedia:The Signpost|the monthly magazine]] will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Submissions|here]].

==European Golf Team Championships==
Do you know if the European Golf Team Championships is going to have a knockout portion after the group play is completed, much like the WGC Match Play has? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 16:47, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
:There are semis and a final on the last day. 18 hole foursomes I think. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:08, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

===TV coverage===
It appears that we won't have any coverage of it on TV here in the States. Do you know if you will be able to see it on TV over there where you are? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
:The BBC are covering the [[European Championships]] extensively. I believe that includes the golf. How much the coverage will be I've not discovered. [[Eurosport]] are also covering the European Championships, but again I'm not sure of the golf. Seems they are covering at least the Sunday on the [[Eurosport Player]]. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 18:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks for your response. We get BBC World News here, but not BBC Sport. This is really frustrating that we can't see the Euro Team Championships here, golf or otherwise. We get extensive coverage of the Premier League here in the States, so, it's not as if the American networks have any problem showing European/British sporting events. One network here even gives us the entire Tour de France. ... I guess all we can do here is hope to see some highlights of it. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 21:28, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
::We also never get the [[The Amateur Championship]] nor the [[British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship]]. Can you imagine not being able to see the U.S. Amateur or U.S. Women's Amateur there in the UK? (Those are in the next couple of weeks.) [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 21:33, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

===Scoring===
What source are you using to record the scores? I see that you entered the score for the first match. I went to the europeanchampionships.com site, but it isn't listing the score, only the winning team. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:26, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
:https://www.europeanchampionships.com/results/en/golf/daily-schedule.htm [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:10, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
::Yes thanks. But, that is where I was looking an hour ago, and at that time, they had not yet showed the score of the match. But yet, I noticed you had already loaded the score of that first match into Wikipedia. Were you looking at something else, something that told you the score before that site was showing it? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:54, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
:::I didn't have any problem but perhaps I was looking at a different time. This page doesn't give in-play scores, you have to click on LIVE to get those. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:38, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

==Images being taken down==
I was wondering if you know a way to be able to post images in the info box of golf tournaments without having them be at risk of being taken down? Fact is, a certain editor has gone around and removed a few of the images that I have uploaded, but usually only of the higher profile tournaments, such as the Players Championship and the Masters. It's frustrating, and I really don't know what the harm is. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:56, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
:Not my area at all really. Seems looking at [[The Players Championship]], for instance, [[:File:Players Championship logo.png]] has a [[WP:NFUR]] only for [[2016 Players Championship]]. However "A separate, specific rationale must be provided each time the media file is used in an article." Since there was one for [[2016 Players Championship]] but not one for [[Players Championship]] it was removed from the [[Players Championship]] article. Personally I find all this stuff so confusing or frustrating that I gave up adding images a long time ago. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

==BMW PGA Championship==
When this tournament moves to September next year, there will obviously be less daylight to work with. Do you happen to know if they will be lowering the players from 150 to a lower number? (Personally I don't know why they didn't put it in August instead, as it would be warmer outside and have more daylight to work with.) [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:09, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
:Honestly I've no idea but I am reminded of the old [[Piccadilly World Match Play]] from Wentworth, which I used to watch as a lad. That was early October I think but there were problems with morning fog sometimes. Maybe early September will be ok. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:17, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks. Speaking of that, I miss that Match Play tournament, it was fun. It's a shame how many tournaments have been canceled. The Volvo Golf Champions, too. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:24, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
::Off topic ... Approximately 90 minutes from the time I am typing this, TV coverage of the U.S. Amateur Championship gets underway from Pebble Beach, in the Fox family here in the States. Hopefully there is a decent amount of TV coverage of it over there in the UK. I remember when Matthew Fitzpatrick won it five years ago, becoming the first Englishman in over a century to win it. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:31, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

==Ryder Cup TV coverage==
Do you know how much coverage of the Cup is on TV there, and what network it is on? Hopefully it is generous coverage. .. Here, in the most recent Cup, Golf Channel gave us 10 and a half hours on Friday, and NBC gave us 16 hours on the weekend. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 04:55, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
:Yes 100% coverage on Sky Golf (pay) with highlights on the BBC in the evening (I believe). The Ryder Cup has a similar status to the Open, meaning that highlights must be made available. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 05:04, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

==Mickelson/Woods==
I learned that the exhibition match scheduled for late November is actually going to be on pay per view here in the USA. This came as a surprise, and a bit disappointing. I have no problem with pay per view, but golf on pay per view? ... Do you happen to know how it is going to be televised there in the UK? Will a regular network be showing it? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 02:02, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
:Gets mentioned on skysports: http://www.skysports.com/golf/news/12176/11479646/tiger-woods-and-phil-mickelson-set-for-7m-las-vegas-showdown but doesn't say whether they are covering it or not. Never heard of golf on pay-per-view here, usually boxing/wrestling. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 05:08, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks. Boxing, wrestling, and UFC gets on pay per view here, along with a few other things, but I think this is the fist time golf will be on pay per view here. They could end up regretting it. People want to see golf, but that doesn't mean they will pay special to see it on TV. Some of the 1992 Summer Olympic games were put on pay per view TV here, and they lost million$, because people simply weren't going to pay to watch the Olympics; in the present day, the networks of NBC (Golf Channel's parent network) furnish extensive coverage of the Olympics, no pay per view at all, which is nice. Even last summer, NBC launched the Olympic Channel. I'm hoping that they will have coverage of the Youth Summer Olympics in October. ... Well anyway, time will tell if this golf match on pay per view was a good idea, or a flop. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:45, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

::See [[Olympics Triplecast]] for details. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:05, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

==U.S. Open tennis==
I'm wondering about the coverage you have there, is it plentiful? Here for example, we have at least 11 hours of it today; ESPN has it from 12:00 to 6:00 PM, and then ESPN 2 has it from 6:00 to 11:00. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 20:31, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
:From this year it's on [[Amazon Prime Video]], which I know nothing about. Personally I'm more likely to watch the cycling (Vuelta a Espana). [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:41, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
::That's okay. Watching the US Open tennis in the UK can be like people in the USA watching the Australian Open tennis, or people in Australia watching the Wimbledon tennis. The hours can be inconvenient because you can be up to the wee hours of the morning watching it. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 20:56, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
:::Some of the American events seem to switch around a lot which confuses people I think. The [[PGA Championship]] seems a bit like that too. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 21:00, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
::::Speaking of switching, a few minutes ago I had to switch away from the coverage of the US Open, the evening matches are about to start, and they are having Kelly Clarkson do a 20 minute + performance, and I don't wannna see that, I only want to see the tennis. They are taking way too long to get to the match, in my view. Each year they do something like this, and it seems a bit overkill. I only want to see the tennis. Maybe others are sharing the same frustration at the moment. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 23:57, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
:::::Seems to me that many sports events finish too late nowadays. Do people really want to watch tennis at midnight? [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 04:57, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
::::::I'm not sure. But, as I am typing this, I'm about to watch the Maria Sharapova match, and it is 10:00 PM. This likely be over until well past 12:00 AM, maybe 1:00. It's Currently 12:00 PM in Melbourne, Australia, though, so, it's easy for them. But, it may take a hearty bunch there in the UK to watch this match, as it is now 3:00 AM there. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 02:00, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
::::::I think the main reason it went so late last night is because of the heat. It's so hot, they have to keep taking extended breaks to cool down. And the humidity makes it even worse. I'm currently watching the Stan Wawrinka match. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:25, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
::::::Sorry to see Murray eliminated. Maybe he will be more in form by the Australian Open. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 23:07, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
:::::::A bit like Tiger perhaps, you wonder at his age whether he'll ever come back to his best. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 09:50, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Good point. Well, if Mickelson can win a WGC at 48 years old, there's hope for many. As far as Murray, there are still two more Masters series events this year, the Shanghai Masters, and the Paris Masters. Maybe he can do well in those, if he plays in them. I don't think he is qualified for the ATP Finals in London. ... Currently watching Angelique Kerber vs the Swedish woman Larsson. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:19, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Also watching McIlroy's interview at TPC Boston. Being that it is Labour Day coming up, this tournament always goes Friday through Monday, so, we have to wait an additional day to watch it. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:31, 30 August 2018 (UTC)
::::::::I'm watching the Cilic match on ESPN 2. It is going so late, it will be after 2:00 AM here soon, and 7:00 AM in the UK. It is in the fifth set. His opponent is an Australian; the time is almost 4:00 PM in Melbourne, Australia now. I bet the people down there can't believe this match is still going on. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 05:39, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
::Amazon coverage over here not going down too well so far https://www.bbc.com/news/business-45355186 [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:03, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
:::Yikes. I can imagine the difficulty in getting coverage in the UK for our Superbowl, or the AFL Grand Final. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 17:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

:::The women's semi finals are tonight. Depending on whom wins, we could end up with an all American women's championship match like we did last year. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 20:25, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
:::This is off topic, but I am watching Fox Sports 2, the AFL playoffs. It's Geelong vs Melbourne. I am rooting for Melbourne because this is their first playoffs in twelve years, and they haven't won the championship in 54 years, exactly like my Cleveland Browns. I can't help but wonder if coverage of the AFL is there in the UK also. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 09:54, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
::::I don't think so. I seem to remember odd big events (Grand Final?) but I'm not aware of any regular coverage. Personally I don't find it too interesting. I'd rather watch the cricket from MCG. Mind you the Aussie Rules pays a lot of the bills for the stadium. Big crowds. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 10:31, 7 September 2018 (UTC)
:::::Coincidentally, this game is at the MCG. Currently the home team Melbourne is up 36 to 8 in the second quarter. ... Yes, I have seen the Big Bash League last year, I figure I'll see some more this year when the season starts. We get it on the network called Willow, which has only cricket. Off Topic again, but, this Sunday, the Brickyard 400 race is taking place at the same time as the BMW Championship is being played. The funny thing is that both events are in the same family of networks here. The golf is on regular NBC, and the race is on NBC Sports Network.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at [[Special:NewPagesFeed]]), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

;Project news
* The [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Page Feed]] now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/AfC_Process_Improvement_May_2018|WMF's AfC Improvement Project]]'''.
:As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, [[WP:ORES|ORES]] predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/AfC_Process_Improvement_May_2018|talk page]] for more info.
*There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks]] for more info to see if you can help out.

;Other
*A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources]], which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.

;Moving to Draft and Page Mover
*Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they ''might'' have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at [[WP:DRAFTIFY]].
*If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear [[WP:COIEDIT|conflict of interest]].

== Celia Barquín Arozamena ==

Leaving aside the matter of his tragic death, as a golfer, is she a notable enough? This is a serious question. Other wikis such as de.wiki are considering that winning one amateur championship is not relevant enough. She could've had a promising career, but we will never know. What is the criteria here on en.wiki. Thanks for your reply! From es.wiki [[User:Triplecaña|Triplecaña]] ([[User talk:Triplecaña|talk]]) 09:13, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
:As per [[WP:NGOLF]] part 4: "They have won at least one recognized amateur golf tournament at the national or international level". Now this is very loose in my view. I did try to change this, see: [[Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 30#Proposed change to WP:NGOLF (2)]] to restrict this criteria (for modern golfers) to "elite" WAGR events but got very little interest. Concerning [[Celia Barquín Arozamena]]; she won the [[European Ladies Amateur Championship]] in late July. This is an elite WAGR event, so that she would satisfy WP:NGOLF under either the current or my proposed change. [[WP:NSPORTS]] says "The article must provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below." I can see that she's at the bottom end of notability as a golfer, but using WP:NGOLF she is notable enough. I can assure you that if she hadn't won the European Ladies Amateur Championship, I wouldn't have created the article.

Hi there, I don't know if you are on here (depending on what is going on with the block), but I am watching Oliver Fisher on a 59 watch, and he is currently co leading the Portugal Masters.

:::::Good win for Europe. Too much for the US to come back from. 10-6 is a good lead. Continues a long list of European successes in Europe.

[[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 18:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
::::::Yes. What can I say, it was a thrashing. After the USA lead 3 to 0 after the first three matches on Friday, Europe then went on win 17.5 of the remaining 25 points. Well, the USA will next year play the Presidents Cup, and they always do well in that. .... Currently, I'm watching the gold medal game of the FIBA (basketball) Women's World Cup.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

;Backlog
{{As of|21 October 2018}}, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

;Community Wishlist Proposal
* There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Community_Wishlist_Proposal|drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal]] for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
* Please '''[[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Community_Wishlist_Proposal|join the conversation]]''' as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

;Project updates
* [[mw:ORES|ORES predictions]] are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
* There are now tools [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#New_bot_trial_for_copyvios|being tested]] to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

;New scripts
* [[User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js]]([[User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel|info]]) — A new script created for quickly placing {{tl|copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

==How are you?==
How's it going these days? I had not seen an edit from you in three weeks. I went to the HSBC page to edit it, and I found you had already done it. Did you get the issue fixed, or do you still have it? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:33, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

==Thanks==
Thanks for fixing my mistake on the WGC HSBC Champions page, I simply wasn't thinking straight, it's very early in the morning here. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 08:13, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

==Shriners Hospitals for Children Open==
The Shriners Hospitals for Children Open field this year has been reduced from 144 to 132. I assume it is because it is too difficult to get 144 players all the way through each day with enough daylight to work with. It's early November. They tried it last year, and they likely realized that it was a bad idea. Early November, in the USA, simply doesn't allow for enough daylight for a field any larger than 132. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:53, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

At least not on one course. The RSM Classic uses two courses. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:57, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:Probably true. Always was a problem for these end of year events, especially with the modern slow play. Anyway 132 seems like a large number. Personally I'd be happy to see smaller fields generally (except for the majors).[[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:01, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
::Well also, it seems they made up the difference with Americans. There are twelve fewer Americans this year, which is the exact difference in the field overall. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 14:30, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
::They ran out of daylight on the first day, even with the reduced field. There were still four groups on the course when play was called for the day. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 17:28, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

==Rolex Paris Masters==
I meant to ask, are you watching this tennis tournament? And is it on TV there? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:22, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:No, not on my TV here. Used to be on the BBC but now Sky Sports (like nearly everything). Plenty of snooker on eurosport for me. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:18, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},
;<big>Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Admins and patrollers/Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements|NOW]]</big>
*'''Community Wishlist''' Voting takes place '''16 to 30 November''' for the [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Admins and patrollers/Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements|'''Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements''']], and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is '''very important''' as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

:If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

:We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

:With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-10-28/Special_report|''The Signpost'' Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers']], and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Special report|article in this month's upcoming issue]] of ''The Signpost'' which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

;Less good news, and an appeal for some help
[[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog chart|The backlog is now approaching <big>'''5,000'''</big>]], and still rising. There are around 640{{nbsp}}holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.

;Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3{{nbsp}}December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Results|See the results]].

==Coordinates==
Do you know if there would be some sort of error if we try to put a second set of coordinates at the top of a page (meaning, putting something like this >"coord|-20.167|57.766|type:event|display=title" at the bottom of the editing window, below the first one, but of course it would be a 2nd set of coordinates)? The reason I ask is because that MCB event now has two locations. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:27, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
:Honestly, I don't know the answer. When I was doing the [[Eisenhower Trophy]] pages recently, I left it out if there were 2 venues used. I'll look into it. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]])
:Seems that it's only intended for a single location when using the display=title form. You can use it twice but it puts the second on top of the first, which is no good. An alternative is to use display=inline and put them somewhere else, like the infobox, eg:
<nowiki>| location = [[Mauritius]] {{coord|-20.167|57.766|type:event|display=inline}} [[Seychelles]] {{coord|-12.345|67.890|type:event|display=inline}}</nowiki>

Hi this is pipamidalton. Thank you for reverting my edits. I thought they were not allowed because they contained dead links. I feel awful thinking I improved the article. I apologize for them. Still a newbie but appreciate your correction and clarification.[[User:Pipamidalton|Pipamidalton]] ([[User talk:Pipamidalton|talk]]) 08:33, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Pipamidalton}} "dead links" are different really. I know its tempting to remove red links to make the article look nicer but the general principle is to leave them in, unless you think there will never be or shouldn't be such an article. If there's a red link to something really odd or obscure, you should remove it. Anyway, keep up the good work. Wikipedia needs more editors.

Thanks for reassurances but I know how tedious it is to clean up after.

== Open sources ==

Hi Nigej. Think I have made what I would describe as a noob mistake with one of my Open citation links. I thought it was from a book and that was the source originally used in the wiki article, but realised now that it was copying what was in wikipedia. So basically used a source which is itself sourced by wikipedia. I don't think any content I put together was wrong though. I looked back and you put together the history of the qualifying process and format that was listed in the main article (and I moved to its own separate article). Did you use a single source to do that or did you build up the information from the individual years articles (i.e. the newspaper sources from each year)? Thanks --[[User:Jopal22|Jopal22]] ([[User talk:Jopal22|talk]]) 21:14, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
:I built it up from individual years, mainly cos I couldn't find anything satisfactory. Not the best approach maybe but sometimes its the only way. I seem to remember finding some wrong information in one of the Open articles from the 1920s and then setting out to find the truth. Had some good fun with the Opens. eg 1911 was "The 1911 Open Championship was a golf competition held at the Royal St George's Golf Club. Harry Vardon won the competition." before me and others got started. Hopefully a little better now. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 21:29, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
::I thought you must have. It's a good list, hope you didn't mind me moving it to an article of its own. Bit of a learning experience for me, found quite often when I searched for something that I was second guessing whether it was all from wikipedia originally or a genuinely independent source.--[[User:Jopal22|Jopal22]] ([[User talk:Jopal22|talk]]) 21:59, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
:::Yes it is an interesting aspect of Wikipedia. Someone writes something unreferenced in Wikipedia, some lazy journalist copies it, someone else then references this in Wikipedia. Part of the reason I like to confirm details by checking with contemporary sources, where possible. Also, the organisers of events have an interest in demonstrating a continuity over the years to make the event look as important as possible sometimes at the expense of accuracy.

== Defamatory content ==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eggheads_(TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=881087553 Please point it out to me] 'cause I'm missing it. And jumping right to a final warning otherwise is overkill.

:One user has been pursuing a campaign against Lisa Thiel on [[Eggheads (TV series)]] for years, it seems. Often it takes the form of pretending that she is leaving imminently, hence the 2019 being added. Sometimes more abusive, see last edit to [[Make Me an Egghead]]. Mindless really. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
:A couple of early examples from 2015/2016: {{Diff2|683764460}} {{Diff2|702966586}}. For a while he gave up the abuse, simply adding an end year to Lisa Thiel's dates, eg {{Diff2|725279112}} from 2016 (an example which his other distinguishing feature of changing "me an" to "mean"). {{Diff2|801120383}} is an example from 2017. {{Diff2|869640429}} shows a more recent example of the abuse.

==Welsh Alliance League ''seasons''==

I have been working on Welsh Alliance League and its seasons, having recently created the [[2017–18 Welsh Alliance League|2017–18]] and [[2018–19 Welsh Alliance League|2018–19]] seasons (while keeping 2018–19 up to date). I then wanted to go back to all the way to when the league started in the 1984–85 season. So I created league table templates from [[Template:1984–85 Welsh Alliance League table|1984–85]] season to date. I was next going to work my way back through the seasons and create and update all seasons (using these league table templates in the articles). So to see 'Nomination for Deletion' come about feels unfair considering that I am currently working my way through. I'm sorry {{Ping|Zackmann08}} if I caused offence when I replied to you first about the nomination for deletion but it did throw me back. I understand that you don't want unused templates to exist but these templates will be used. I am just getting round to implementing them into the articles. If you look at my contributions you will see that I have made many contributions to the Welsh Alliance League, which is a mammoth task. I have enjoyed contributing to Wikipedia and would like to continue in doing so. [[User:Onshore|Onshore]] ([[User talk:Onshore|talk]]) 21:06, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

== FIBA Intercontinental Cup Finals Top Scorer ==

I saw your comment at [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2019_February_21#Template:FIBA_Intercontinental_Cup_Finals_Top_Scorer]]. I had [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FIBA_Intercontinental_Cup&diff=881720024&oldid=881607228 tried to delete] the content from [[FIBA Intercontinental Cup]] since there was no consensus to merge at the AfD, but then the editor restored it while tweaking the [[WP:OR]] that it was an award. At that point, I did not further pursue it as an [[WP:UNDUE]] content issue. I left open the possibility that this was somehow talked about in non-English sources, though I pretty much doubt it. The same editor has also created pages like [[EuroLeague Finals Top Scorer]], [[ABA League Top Scorer]], and [[Basketball Bundesliga Top Scorer]]. I think they believe that since a leading/top scorer is notable in some leagues, that a similiar stat list should be created for all leagues. At any rate, I would support removing it from FIBA Intercontinental Cup, barring any further evidence that it is notable.—[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 10:08, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

== Two man team Golf events ==

Hi I do editing for golf and I think that two man team event wins should be added to the team wins section and removed as individual wins on players wiki pages. A team win is a team win not an individual win. The same rule should apply to golf as it does in all other sports when this occurs. Your thoughts please ?.

:There's been many discussions about this in the past.

[[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:47, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Doubles in Tennis is regarded as Doubles titles and not Singles or individual wins.

:The first section is generally called "Professional wins" and includes wins in singles, foursomes and fourballs. The other section is "Team appearances" and lists events where a player has represented a team. Within this style, the [[Zurich Classic of New Orleans]] is regarded as a Professional win. The players do not represent anything in this event, it is simply a pairs event. I know is it referred to as a Team Event but it would clearly not be suitable for the Team Appearances section.

==Watford vs. West Ham==
Does your TV schedule show that this Watford vs West Ham game is scheduled for 3:00 PM British time on Sunday? Oddly enough, our Golf Channel is actually scheduled to show this game on Sunday, to the point that the times for the final round of the British Masters have apparently been moved up. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 08:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
:The match is definitely on Sunday at 3 pm local time. Last day of the premier league, all 10 matches being played at the same time. Not sure why they'd be showing a mid-table match when the interest is between Man City and Liverpool. No idea when the tee times are for the golf but would't clash on TV here since golf and soccer have different Sky channels. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 08:44, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
::Thanks. Well, like I was telling someone earlier, Sky used to be in the Fox family, but Sky is now in the NBC family, and the NBC family shows quite a bit of the Premier League here in the States. And NBC now owns Golf Channel, so, I suppose Golf Channel is under some strange obligation to show this Watford/West Ham match. Although there is a possibility that the TV schedule is wrong. I won't know until the time comes on Sunday morning. ... I can say though that the coverage I watched this morning of the British Masters on Golf Channel was in fact a feed from Sky. It was not a production of Golf Channel itself. It definitely was the Sky feed, with Sky announcers and graphics. This is the first time that Golf Channel has done this. ... And finally, I saw a big crowd at that tournament. It seems like it is getting the same amount of attention that the BMW PGA Championship has gotten. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:04, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
:::Usually good crowds for British events. Of course this one's in Lancashire, where they're very keen on their golf, rather than the London area. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:13, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
::::I checked the tee times for the final round, and the last tee time is 9:50 (4:50 for me). So, I think this means they want to be finished early so they don't have to compete with all the footy. I'm going to try to be up early to see the finish. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:43, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
:::::Yes, that's a very early time for the last group. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:50, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
::::::Yep. Well that won't be the only early tee time. The final round of the Regions Tradition will be seen here on a delay on Golf Channel, as the tee times have been moved up to avoid bad weather. The last tee time will go out at 9:00 AM Central time, 10:00 AM my time. Golf Channel's coverage of it begins at 12:00 PM, making the delay approximately 3 hours. ... And as I am typing this, the Byron Nelson on CBS got going only a few minutes ago due to weather, and they are 6 hours behind schedule today. Clearly they will not be able to finish the third round today. They are talking about making two cuts, with only 60 players finishing the 4th round so they can actually have four rounds while at the same time being able to get finished on Sunday, to avoid having a Monday finish right before the PGA Championship.

:::::: No need for a playoff, the young Swede won. ... On the topic of football though, I now know why our Golf Channel is showing the West Ham/Watford game. It is because ten NBC related outlets are showing all the games today. This included the NBC broadcast network itself, eight of NBC's cable partners (including Golf Channel), and one website.

==Sky Sports on the scene at the PGA Championship==
I'm watching "Live From The PGA Championship" on Golf Channel, and this segment is soley with the personalities from Sky Sports, along with their Sky Sports microphones, doing "On The Range". As I mentioned previously, Sky is now in the NBC/Golf Channel family. And, because we get the Open Championship tournament coverage on Golf Channel and NBC, I don't doubt that we will see plenty of Sky when that time comes this summer. ... TNT and CBS give us approximately 28 hours of PGA Championship tournament coverage. And Golf Channel and NBC give us nearly 50 hours of Open Championship tournament coverage. Hopefully the fans in the UK can get as much tournament coverage on the networks in the UK. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

:Strictly speaking there's a difference between the [[minus sign]] (−) and the [[en dash]] (–). So −12 but May 16–19, 2019. Of course they look very similar. On my screen the en dash is lower down and slightly longer. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:49, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

==Amanda Anisimova==
Has American Amanda Anisimova gotten much conversation going over there? I am watching coverage on Tennis Channel (and later NBC) of the women's semifinal match, and she is leading 1 set to 0. The last American woman to win the French Open not named Williams was Capriati in 2001, and coincidentally Amanda was born in 2001. And her Wikipedia page got over 140,000 views yesterday. .. Also, looking forward to the big Federer/Nadal match.

::Yep, you never know. As far as Wimbledon though, the coverage here started less than 10 minutes ago. ESPN is giving us eleven hours of coverage today, 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM my time (11:00 AM to 10:00 PM in the UK.)
::But I like the women's USA soccer team's chances better than I like the USA rugby men's team's chances. In late September, it will be time for the next rugby World Cup, and our USA team usually gets beaten soundly. I'm hoping for a single win by them. There isn't really much rugby talent developed here, and so our national rugby team is usually inferior to the other national teams.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at [[WT:NPR|NPR]]. There is now also a live queue of [[WP:AfC|AfC]] submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
;QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please [[quis custodiet ipsos custodes|be on the alert]] for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors.
The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at [[WT:NPR|NPR]].
;Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
;Move to draft
NPR is [[triage]], it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which ''might'' have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
;Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are [[WP:SPA|SPA]] and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
;PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome ''if absolutely necessary'', but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
;Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Coordination#New_Page_Review_Coordinators|New Page Review Coordinators]] - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

==Some mixed questions==
If you'll indulge me, I have three unrelated questions. First, do you know why the Irish Open would have one wave of tee times this year, when they had two waves last year? Second, do you know if our Independence Day parade that our president is putting on will be on television over there later today? And third, as far as the Gold Cup and the Copa America events, do you know if either one of those are being televised over there and whether anyone there has any interest in watching them? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 07:10, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
:No idea about the Irish Open. Perhaps because the 10th tee is nowhere near the clubhouse. Re: Independence Day, I suspect that it'll be a big story for the 24 hour news channels but probably not sufficient interest for separate programmes. Gold Cup and the Copa America are niche events over here. Perhaps more interest in the [[Africa Cup of Nations]]. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:10, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Have you ever noticed the lack of unique criteria used in the selection of the players in the tennis majors? I like tennis, but I noticed that the nationalities in the tennis majors is basically the same across the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. But the golf majors obviously have unique criteria for each of them; there is a huge difference between the nationality distribution of the US Open golf and the Open Championship golf, easily proving that there is unique criteria used for each. So, if tennis uses the same criteria for all four majors, the only difference they have is the geographic location. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
:Perhaps golf is a little unusual in that the four majors each decide their own qualifying rules. I don't think they are quite as distinctive as they used to be though. The top x in the world rankings get in automatically and since one of them near always wins (31 in a row have been in the world top-50), they aren't quite so different as you might think. Of course, the tennis grand slams are distinctive in other ways (eg the surface) like the golf majors. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 14:16, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
::True, the surfaces are different. Somehow that slipped my mind even though it's something I've always known. And of course our US Open tennis tournament is coming up in a few weeks, it starts a week before Lobo(u)r Day, and finishes a week after.

==A busy time==
Wow, this week in golf we have a WGC (and an alternate event), a senior major, and a women's major. This means extra work filling in scores in Wikipedia. Then next week, we have another women's major to fill in. ... But I'm not complaining, better to have too much golf than not enough. Also I'm looking forward to seeing the Solheim Cup at GlenEagles in Scotland. What I can't understand is why the PGA Tour schedule is going to have the QBE Shootout and the Presidents Cup in the same week. Maybe they simply ran out of calendar. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:36, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Well done, filling out the FedEx Cup page. That saves me the time today. Also, impressive that you did it all in one edit. I don't know if you had it prepared in advance and simply copied and pasted from a scrip you worked on, but still, well done. Each year, that page is one that requires quite a bit of work. ... Next summer, we will have the Olympic Golf pages to work on, and that is a ton of work. On the one Olympic golf page I worked on in 2016, I think I had over 100 edits there.

On an off topic, I am watching the Canadian Open tennis tournament, on Tennis Channel. This is one of the nine Masters events in tennis. Currently it is the Konta match I am watching, against Yastremska. And next week it is another Masters event in Cincinnati, Ohio (Ohio is my home state). If Konta were to win this tournament, it would give her good momentum going into the US Open in a few weeks. And by the way, this tournament is the only Masters series event in which the men and women play at two separate locations.

==On The Range==
Here in the States, Golf Channel is showing the Sky feed of "On The Range". It's a 90 minute live special that they are showing each Wednesday before the playoffs. Hopefully they will continue to have this every week throughout the season, not only during these playoffs. We'll see. And later this afternoon, immediately after the finish of this show, Fox Sports 1 will have coverage of the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship.

==MLS==
The English Premier League has a fan base here in the USA, as I have seen the TV ratings for it. It actually does a little better here than MLS does. But anyway, I was wondering, is MLS ever on TV in the UK? I can't see that it would be, but I could be wrong. Well, if it is, and if they show it live, this Sunday night at 3:30 AM UK time, the two Los Angeles teams play each other, maybe you can find it. ... I notice the AFL games on TV here in the middle of the night, every week. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 05:15, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

::::The English Premier League television viewership appears to be thriving here in the USA. This past Saturday, the Liverpool/Tottenham game got 1,189,000 viewers around the USA. Even MLS (our own league) doesn't get that much viewership in the USA. I'd like to think that MLS gets decent viewership over there, but I'm guessing it doesn't, but that's okay. I'm guessing the EPL viewership is thriving all over the world. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 03:38, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

I would have helped on the 2019 Walker Cup page, but for some reason it is not on TV here in the States. All we have is a 1 hour highlight show of it on Golf Channel tonight at 11:00 PM. This is frustrating not being able to see it. I'm not suggesting that 10 million people would watch it on TV here stateside, but I'm sure a few hundred thousand (such as myself) across the USA would like to be able to see it.

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|120px]]
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic '''300''' as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

;Coordinator
A proposal is taking place [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Coordinator|'''here''']] to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

;This month's refresher course
''[[Wikipedia:Why I Hate Speedy Deleters|Why I Hate Speedy Deleters]]'', a 2008 essay by long since retired {{U|Ballonman}}, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

;Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

;Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to [[WP:COIN]] if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

;Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
*Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for [[WP:ORG|organisations and companies]].
*''Blank-and-Redirect'' is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

;Not English
*A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with [[WP:NPPNE]]. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

;Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See [[User:SD0001/StubSorter.js]], It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at [[User:Evad37/rater]] makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

{{noping|DannyS712 bot III}} is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=patrol&user=DannyS712+bot+III&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= patrol log].

== European circuit wins for Peter Townsend ==

Are we sure the Coca-Cola Young Professionals' Championship and Walworth Aloyco Tournament can be categorized as European circuit wins? With the Coca-Cola tournament it was limited to pro golfers under the age of 25 - not a lot. Also - and more importantly - it was not added to the European Tour schedule during its inaugural 1972 season (or any subsequent year). Lastly, Peter Oosterhuis' win is not placed under his "European circuit" label.

Secondly, I know nothing of the importance of the Walworth Aloyco Tournament. There is no Wikipedia page for it and there are no citations for Townsend's win or previous tournaments. From what I can tell it was only held from 1969-71.

[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 00:29, 10 October 2019 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:I think this sort of thing is something of a black art. Probably the two could be hived off into the other wins section. There were a few of these age restricted events at the time and they got a fair amount of coverage. Some of the continental tournaments were not well covered by the British press but I did create an article on the [[Italian BP Open]] at one time. Will have a look at the Walworth Aloyco. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 05:23, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
:Have added a ref for Townsend. Seems it was only held 1969 to 1971.

{{ping|Oogglywoogly}} I have found the following in a Dutch publication http://www.nga-earlygolf.nl/golfarchief/files/original/58e6005f9dcb96896c4327cffd031823.pdf (page 138) which talks about the fact that winners of continental opens were given an entry to the 1970 [[British PGA Matchplay Championship]]. Translating it says "will now also be invited twelve continental professionals from the first in the Open championships that will be played in the twelve months prior to July 30, namely: Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands, West Germany, Switzerland, Italy (the Walworth-Aloyco tournament) and Scandinavia ..." Seems the Walworth-Aloyco was regarded as the equivalent of the Italian Open that year (the Italian Open was not played from 1961 to 1970) which would make it a fairly important event that year.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
;Getting the queue to 0
There are now {{NUMBERINGROUP:patroller}} holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action. 
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If ''each'' reviewer soon does '''only 2 reviews a day''' over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by ''every'' reviewer doing '''only 1 review every 2 days''' - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays. 
Want to join? Consider adding the [[Template:User NPP Pledge|'''NPP Pledge userbox''']]. 
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Awards|'''really cool awards''']].
; Coordinator
Admin {{U|Barkeep49}} has been officially invested as [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Coordination#New_Page_Review_Coordinators|NPP/NPR coordinator]] by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.

Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: [[WP:LTA/OM|This official Wikipedia article]] will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Conflict_of_Interest_(COI),_paid_editing|The Hallmarks]] to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
;Tools
*It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
*It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
;Reviewer Feedback
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/School#New Reviewer Mentorship|New Reviewer mentorship]] will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/School#Peer review cohort|peer review cohort]] for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch ''November 13''.
;Second set of eyes
*Not only are ''New Page Reviewers'' the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the [[WP:NPP#Monitoring the system|'''Monitoring the system''']] section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing ''good'' work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
*Do be sure to have [[WT:NPR|'''our talk page ''']] on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
;Arbitration Committee
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
;Community Wish list
There is to be no [[:meta:wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020|wish list]] for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

== Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks! ==

Hello,

[[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|Google Code-In]], Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at [[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|the contest page]] and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

== Snooker Shoot Out 2011-2019 ==

Hi Nigej how are you ?. i see you have removed the hyphen from the Shoot Out homepage which i agree with. can you remove the hyphen from the tournament pages that took place between 2011 to 2019 please ?.This would make it the same as the hompage. regards [[Special:Contributions/31.200.168.241|31.200.168.241]] ([[User talk:31.200.168.241|talk]]) 15:43, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
:That would probably be incorrect. If the event had a hyphen in it when it took place it should retain the hyphen, otherwise we'd be rewriting history. I'm not yet clear to me which events had a hyphen in them. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 16:31, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

== 6 red world seniors ==

nigej can you explain to me why this event which is a variant event is colour coded like a normal 15 red seniors event ?. variant events like this and the main tour 6 reds event are always colour coded like all previous variants. this is nonsense. regards — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/92.251.199.24|92.251.199.24]] ([[User talk:92.251.199.24#top|talk]]) 22:48, 15 December 2019 (UTC) 
:The Snooker Shoot Out is treated as any other ranking event. 6-red events can be treated similarly. Treating a 6 red seniors event as both variant and senior is just making the thing overly complex. Anyway its a very minor event anyway. As to the fact that variant events "are always colour coded" ..., we can simply change the previous seasons too. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 22:57, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

The Shootout is a 15 red ranking event where century breaks and 147s count towards career totals. the 6 reds events cannot be treated similarly as they go to the variant events finals section. if you don't want two colours why can't you make it blue like the other 6 red variant played on the main tour ?.you say it is a minor event so why not use the variant colour being used for 10 years ? regards — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/92.251.199.24|92.251.199.24]] ([[User talk:92.251.199.24#top|talk]]) 23:19, 15 December 2019 (UTC) 
:Variant relates to "vary", ie they vary the rules: eg the shot clock, ball in hand for fouls, etc. So the Shoot Out is clearly a variant event. We should get rid of the VE in the table in my view. The fact that we've done something for the last 10 years is no good reason to keep going with that style, otherwise nothing could ever change. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 08:32, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Okey, I can see that. Still I find it more logical to show prize money för each player. [[User:EEJB|EEJB]] ([[User talk:EEJB|talk]]) 21:36, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

;Reviewer of the Year
[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|right|200px]]
This year's Reviewer of the Year is {{noping|Rosguill}}. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to {{noping|Onel5969}} who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to {{noping| Boleyn}} and {{noping|JTtheOG}} who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with [[User:CAPTAIN MEDUSA|CAPTAIN MEDUSA]] and [[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

;Redirect autopatrol
A recent [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers/Redirect_autopatrol#RfC_on_autopatrolling_redirects|Request for Comment]] on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was [[WP:SNOW|closed early]]. New Page Reviewers are now able to [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist|nominate editors]] who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Redirect_whitelist#Editors_whose_redirects_are_whitelisted|list of users]] whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by {{noping|DannyS712 bot III}}.

;Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first [[WP:NPPSG|New Page Patrol Source Guide]] discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a [[WP:BEFORE]] prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the [[WT:NPR|New Page Patrol talk page]] for more information.

;This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on [[Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)]]. Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

== ICL International ==

Hi. Are you sure about this addition [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ICL_International&type=revision&diff=923258389&oldid=916443095], as lots of tournaments were called "international" at this time and the source doesn't mention ICL, plus other sources don't support the tournament ever being held at Houghton? [[Special:Contributions/51.6.161.113|51.6.161.113]] ([[User talk:51.6.161.113|talk]]) 14:51, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
:Not at all confident I would say. I did find this http://www.sunshinetour.info/profiles/profile.php?player=BAI001 (click on career highlights) This lists "ICL Transvaal International" in December 1976 (presumably the same event) which we are missing both in [[ICL International]] and in the [[Hugh Baiocchi]] article. Townsend's 1976 win was in January (https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=c5JAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BaUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1638%2C3110227) so this could plausibly be the ICL International. http://www.thegolfclub.co.za/hughbaiocchi.htm calls this event "Transvaal Open" which confuses the issue even more. The same article has him winning the 1974 ICL Transvaal Open which seems to be what we have as a [[Transvaal Open]] win at the end of 1973. Overall it seems to me possible that ICL sponsored the Transvaal Open in 1973/74 and at some point this turned into the [[ICL International]]. Combining the two events, we have Baiocchi (73/74), Baker (74/75), Townsend (75/76), Baiocchi (76/77), Player (77/78 see http://www.sunshinetour.info/profiles/profile.php?player=PLA004), Hayes (78/79) ... so exactly 1 event per season. Generally just more questions than answers I'm afraid. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 16:38, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
::You could be right, in which case the two articles ([[Transvaal Open]] & [[ICL International]]) may need to be merged if some solid references can be found. I'd ignore ''thegolfclub.co.za'' though, as it's a verbatim copy of a previous version of the article here.

And this [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=349AAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7KQMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3128%2C2882636] confirms Baiocchi as the defending champion in 74.

::::I'm struggling to get my brain around all this. Seems to be some loose terminology as to the precise tournament names. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 18:50, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, same goes for tour/circuit names. Unfortunately most newspaper articles come from agency wire reports, which weren't overly concerned with such details! [[Special:Contributions/51.6.161.113|51.6.161.113]] ([[User talk:51.6.161.113|talk]]) 19:45, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

==Matt Kuchar==
I am watching Golf Channel's coverage of the final round of the Singapore Open, and Kuchar is on the 16th hole. Apparently, Golf Channel's coverage is on a 1 hour delay. I am guessing that the tee times were moved up to avoid bad weather. But, whenever that happens, Golf channel is not nice enough to move up the time they show the action, they simply shho the coverage on a delay. I see that Kuchar won, which spoils the ending. I hope at least you guys in Europe got to see the coverage live. Here, Golf Channel had no excuse not to show it live, because in the middle of the night, all they were doing was showing a repeat of something from earlier anyway.

It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

;Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Pages Feed]]. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at [[WP:RPATROL]].

;Discussions and Resources
*There is an [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Improving_new_article_edit_notice|ongoing discussion]] around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
*A recent discussion of whether [[Michelin star|Michelin starred]] restraunts are notable was [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_284#RFC_on_Michelin_stars_as_a_reliable_source_for_notability_of_restaurants|archived without closure]].
*A [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Resources|resource page]] with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Increasing_the_scope_of_WP%3AG5_vis-a-vis_socking.|proposal]] to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

;Refresher
[[WP:GEOLAND|Geographic regions, areas and places]] generally do not need [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of [[WP:SPAM]] for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

He is shown as withdrawn from the Players, but I am not sure if he teed off or not. Do you think we should leave the count at 144 players on the 2020 Players page? Or do you think we should take one of the South African numbers out and lower the tally to 143? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 16:57, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
:It seems from https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/the-players-championship/leaderboard.html that he played 7 holes, so he would count as a WD and the total should be left as 144. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 17:04, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

== Al Besselink ==

I had or have a PGA Tour Media Guide (I have twice moved since this edit[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al_Besselink&diff=449913124&oldid=449905706] that lists the Caracas Open as a win for Besselink. (We know the PGA Tour records are full of mistakes. George Archer's record for putts in a 1980 tournament has changed over the years. Media reports at the time say 94[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=W5pDAAAAIBAJ&sjid=t64MAAAAIBAJ&pg=3009,5795564&dq=94+putts+george+archer&hl=en], in 1989 it was reported as 94 too[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=KUsnAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yOEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5661%2C4380476] but the last time I looked the PGA Tour has it as 95. Then there is the missing Billy Casper wins and playoff loss[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Golf#1969_Canadian_Open]. I think my point is made about the Tour and their crappy recordkeeping) It is actually a IC in the article till you and one other editor changed the totals and one of my pet peeves[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ahunt/Archive26#Thank_You] around here is the changing of something[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jane_Blalock&diff=712184018&oldid=712182554] that has a reference on it. I'd add the win into Besselink's box but I don't have the scores. Would you please do it? Thanks.[[User:WilliamJE|...William]], is the complaint department really on [[User talk:WilliamJE|the roof?]] 20:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
:I've changed it. I'm not 100% convinced really, https://www.pgatour.com/players/player.01084.al-besselink.html has just 1 win in 1957 not 2 and a total of 4. Official prize money is given there as $13,041 which is confirmed by newspaper reports at the end of 1957. Unclear whether this includes the $4,000 he got for winning in Caracas. He won $2,800 for winning the Kansas City Open, so perhaps would struggle to have got $13,041 without the $4,000. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 21:16, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

What is wrong with you these players are gone from the tour ?. Just because they appear on that list after the world Championship does not mean they have a ranking next season.

== Naomichi Ozaki ==

Hi Nigej, I noticed that on [[Naomichi Ozaki]]'s page it mentioned that he featured in the top 50 of the OWGR, however his highest ranking is not present in his infobox. Would you be able to have a look at this? Thanks. [[User:Jimmymci234|Jimmymci234]] ([[User talk:Jimmymci234|talk]]) 17:34, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
:You're right. There are quite a few golfers from the early years of the OWGR who have their entries commented out in [[Template:Infobox_golfer/highest_ranking]]. Sometimes this because the highest ranking is uncertain; sometimes because it's felt that the ranking gives a false impression (eg Jack Nicklaus who's highest ranking would be 20, when clearly he was number one for many years before the OWGR was started). Naomichi Ozaki is one such. Happy to uncomment if you feel the high ranking (which says 34) is correct. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Ok fair enough, didn’t know that. That’s quite interesting actually. I don’t mind either way with Ozaki’s.

:{{reply to|Jimmymci234}} Looking closer it seems he got as high as 34 in 1999. However he was also in the top 50 during 1986 (http://dps.endavadigital.net/owgr/doc/content/archive/1986/owgr20f1986.pdf).

Wait for a reply for what ?. The official governing body has clearly called it "The Masters". That is the official name with two references.

== continued trouble with citations... ==

Hi Nigej,

Thank you for your advice earlier with Google News Archives links. However it is not working for me. To refresh your memory here is what you wrote:

"Yes. Clicking on the article header (goes blue - generally) is not sufficient. You need to click on "link to article" (rhs) first, then click on the article header. You can then ctrl-C to copy it and ctrl-V to paste it into your article. Of course, sometimes the header doesn't go blue and you have to wander round finding something that does go blue. Nigej (talk) 06:16, 16 October 2020 (UTC)"

Where do I find the "Link to article" button? And what does "rhs" mean?

My apologies for this continued trouble. Any help would be great.

Hi Nigej,

Maybe you would like to reconsider the article [[Tom Morris Golf Shop]] as being "pure advertising"
a. The shop does not exist, so there is nothing to advertise.
b. The whole article is encyclopedic. In no way has it been written like an advertisement.

== 1966 Endagine Open ==

To report the success of [[Martin Roesink]] at the 1966 [[Engadine Open]] I used a citation from the event's wiki page. ''The Glasgow Herald'' article is a bit blurry though. (Here is the [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=9XhAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=x6MMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1456,4216916 link].) Is there another article with clearer type?

== Kenji Hosoishi ==

Hi Nigej,

I just created a page for Japanese golfer [[Kenji Hosoishi]]. I was able to find a lot of stuff for his play on the Asian circuit but nothing for Japan. I was wondering if you had anything.

Thanks,
[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 23:21, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:Found very little. Note that he was sometimes called Hosoichi in the press. See https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=wG0xAAAAIBAJ&sjid=G2wDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2263%2C2322980 and https://www.newspapers.com/clip/64576813/honolulu-star-bulletin/ for a little about his Japan Open win. https://hicbc.com/special/crowns/new/history/timeline/1960-1969/cup04/ has plenty of detail about his 1963 crown win, but it's in Japanese. My automatic translation comes up with "Sazareishi" sometimes instead of "Hosoishi" sometimes. Seems it was played on April 25 and 26 but that hasn't helped me find anything else.

:: Well what you found was very helpful. Not easy to find English-language reports of Japanese golf events. Thank you very much.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

[[File:NPP 2020 Chart.png|800px|A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue]]

;Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by {{noping|Rosguill}} who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to {{noping|JTtheOG}} and {{noping|Onel5969}} who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to {{noping|John B123}}, {{noping|Hughesdarren}}, and {{noping|Mccapra}} who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by {{noping|DannyS712}} which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist|redirect whitelist]].

I am getting very tired of you changing 6 reds events to the colour coding of a non ranking event. 6 reds are not included in non rankings finals so stop changing their colour code [[Special:Contributions/178.167.205.73|178.167.205.73]] ([[User talk:178.167.205.73|talk]]) 00:35, 17 December 2020 (UTC).

:It's no more a Mickey Mouse event than the snooker seniors events. You're right that the golf articles ought to be doing something similar.

== Seniors Masters Qualifying ==

Why did you remove the event without not just changing the title if you were not happy with it ?. World Seniors hold qualifying events like the old Masters Qualifying Event for all their event. So why didn't you just change the title ?. The winner of this qualifying event was Darren Morgan and as you can see it had a final, this was the way the qualifying was staged this year due to covid. [[Special:Contributions/92.251.209.218|92.251.209.218]] ([[User talk:92.251.209.218|talk]]) 20:55, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
:1) I thought you were the one who was so keen on having the official name - see "The Masters" discussion, etc. 2) There are 4 events going on, what's the point in adding just one 3) Basically they're very unimportant. We can do without them in this list. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:59, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

It is important to have them as they are qualifying events like the Masters Qualifying Event. They reason the others were not added is because there was more than one qualifier the Seniors UK had 4 and the World Seniors Championship had 2 places available so no finals took place. This event was played to a finish that is why it is included here. As regarding The Masters we all know that is the official title but if I have to wait 1 year, 2 years or 5 years I will see the proper title added in the end. [[Special:Contributions/92.251.209.218|92.251.209.218]] ([[User talk:92.251.209.218|talk]]) 21:09, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
:Why can't we have the 2 or 4 qualifiers listed then. Your argument makes no sense. As to your Masters comment - the same point applies to your obession with everything having to look pretty. Really there's no point because in 5 years time it'll all be different anyway. Wikipedia is a work in progress. Also see [[WP:REDDEAL]] as to why many red links should be left in.

== Please don't revert my edits unless 100% necessary. ==

My comment under my edit reverting your edit in [[List of United States federal executive orders]] did make sense. You removed the total number of Executive Orders from the Joe Biden section, which you shouldn't have done. I merely reverted your edit, re-instating the table. In the future, please don't revert mine or others' edits, and re-do the changes that ''don't'' remove the number of Executive Orders from any section. Thank you. - [[User:KamranMackey|Kamran Mackey]] ([[User_talk:KamranMackey|talk to me]] · [[Special:Contributions/KamranMackey|my contributions]]) 16:26, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

::{{Reply to|Nigej}} I had a good reason. You removed the total E.O. count for Joe Biden, and somehow claimed that the count shouldn't be updated for him until the end of 2021. The entire point of that article is to be an up-to-date representation of the total amount of Executive Orders that have been issued by U.S. presidents, including presidents that are currently in office. Removing the total number of E.O.'s, even if the current sitting president hasn't been in office for long, is counterproductive to the goal of that article. I'm sorry for reverting the edits of yours that removed unnecessary reference tags & the "grand total as of" section under the Obama section; at the time I forgot to check all four edits. For that I'm sorry. I should've checked the edits and only reverted the one that modified the table for Biden's E.O. count. But you could've removed the reference tags via a new edit as well instead of reverting all my edits and having to re-do the table again. That more than likely wasted a bit of your time. And I don't intend this to come off as rude at all, if it somehow does I apologize. - [[User:KamranMackey|Kamran Mackey]] ([[User_talk:KamranMackey|talk to me]] · [[Special:Contributions/KamranMackey|my contributions]]) 16:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

I just created a page for this man. He won the 1974 [[South Australian Open]] and I found a good amount for that. However, there is nothing for the next three years... it's as if he disappeared. I found some stuff from the late 1970s and early 1980s but not a lot. Not sure if you could help out.

Thanks,

== 1982 Timex Open ==

According to the page of [[Lennie Clements]] he won the 1982 Timex Open (France). There is a citation from the 1991 PGA Tour media guide.

However, on the event's page ([[Timex Open]]) it says Gery Watine won the event. Could Clements have won another Timex Open?

[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 03:33, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:Tough one. Very little coverage in the English language newspapers. There is this: https://www.golfcourse-review.com/architect/619/gery-watine which does say that Watine won it. However, it seems certain that it was actually Clements. see: https://www.facebook.com/138565016156967/posts/memory-lane-from-the-french-pga-tour-kim-swan-places-9th-in-1982-timex-open-in-f/2904216339591807/ which clearly says it was Clements with Barry Jaeckel second. Seems to imply it was played the same week as the [[Bob Hope British Classic]], end of September. I've clipped this https://www.newspapers.com/clip/69159267/times-advocate/ from December 1982 which confirms the story. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 07:01, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
:Looking at https://www.golfcourse-review.com/architect/619/gery-watine I'm also wondering if, for 1981, the Timex Open and Biarritz Open are not the same event. The same applies to the Cannes Open and U-Bix Open which are perhaps also the same event. Seems a particularly unreliable source.

::: Thank you for clarifying things. Yes, it looks for sure that Clements won the event.

::::U-Bix and Cannes in all likelihood refer to the same event; likewise Timex/Biarritz in the early 1980s. Seems fairly clear from what I found doing the ET schedules that the Timex Open ended (replaced by the [[GSI L'Equipe Open]] on the ET schedule) with the AGF Open founded later.

== David Ishii's peak OWGR ==

It should be in his infobox. He did turn pro before 1986 but his peak is definitely during the OWGR era. His career year was in 1987 (6 wins in Japan). Looks like his peak was [http://www.owgr.com/archive/PastRankings/1988/owgr20f1988.pdf this week] in 1988.

[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 02:47, 15 February 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogy
:Ishii was one of the commented-out entries in {{tl|Infobox golfer/highest ranking}}. Not quite sure why I commented it out. Probably not 100% certain it was correct, but we seem to agree on the peak, so I've uncommented it. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 07:06, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
:50 others commented out from the early days of the OWGR. Can be 1) Peak OWGR is not a good reflection of their peak ranking (eg [[Jack Nicklaus]]), 2) Peak OWGR is uncertain because the data for 1986 is incomplete, 3) I was uncertain what the peak OWGR was. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 07:36, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

:: Thank you for the change. Yes, obviously there are quite a few of these "straddlers" whose real peak would've been before 1986.

:: In fact, I actually have more reservations about the peak rankings you included rather than excluded. Like for guys like [[Fuzzy Zoeller]] and [[Bruce Lietzke]] - I am very confident that their peak rankings would have been much earlier in their career. I just don't think their peak ranking should be there. There are a few other guys I think that are like this.

:: [[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 07:52, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:::Yes, certainly [[Bruce Lietzke]] was higher in the old McCormack rankings. I've commented him out. Strangely Zoeller didn't seem to get in the old top-10, mind you that only once a year. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:14, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

:::: I think you are being way too presumptuous by including Zoeller's ranking. I strongly suspect that he would have been ranked #11 or higher before 1986. No, he never made McCormack's top ten but, as you stated, McCormack only ranked golfers once a year. Overall, Zoeller had a stellar career before 1986; he won 7 PGA Tour events including two majors. He even could have reached #11 or higher during the 1986 season. He only peaked at #15 but keep in mind they only published the rankings a handful of times that year.

:::: So again, I just think you're being a bit presumptuous with this. I mean do you really think he reached his peak in 1995?

:::: In addition, there are a few other golfers like this (e.g. [[Christy O'Connor Jnr]]). I will bring them up in a more formal, systemic list sometime soon.

== peak OWGR issues... ==

I brought this up recently... here are two new golfers who probably didn't reach their peak post-1986.

* [[Christy O'Connor Jnr]]: In 1975 he won two events and finished a [https://www.europeantour.com/players/141/career-record?tour=european-tour career best 7th] on the European Tour Order of Merit. He did have a late career resurgence but I think it's at least doubtful that he reached his peak in 1990.

* [[Mike Clayton (golfer)]]: Looks like he had his [https://www.europeantour.com/players/37/career-record?tour=european-tour career year in 1984]. He won his only ET event that year and also won the Tasmanian Open and his only AGC event in 1984. He also recorded a second place finish on the European Tour that year, one of only two he ever recorded on tour. Finished #18 on ET's Order of Merit, only time in top 30. In my opinion, no way should his 1995 peak be up there.

Once again, thank you for your hard work creating a peak OWGR category but there are few other anomalous figures like this. Sometime later in the year I will go over them systemically and show them to you. These are ones I just happened to come across recently...

[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 02:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:I've commented those two out. The downside is that it now looks like they never made the top 100. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 09:04, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

:: True but nonetheless this is an encyclopedia - we need to ''know'', not speculate. Basically, with this issue, there must be an "arbitrary" demarcation line at some point. If we used the McCormack rankings, which start at 1968, then perhaps we would be able to give peak rankings to all these 1970s pros but then the 1950s pros would be excluded. It is a fundamentally imperfect scenario. The year 1986 happens to be our "arbitrary" cut-off point; there isn't much we can do about it.

:: I just noticed another guy: [[Hugh Baiocchi]]. Baiocchi won the [https://www.europeantour.com/players/6/ Sunshine Tour's Order of Merit in 1974 and 1979] and finished second on ET's OoM in 1977. Meanwhile, all six of his ET wins were before 1986. Ten of his twelve Sunshine Tour wins before 1986. Basically, his peak would have been way before 1986 and probably much higher than we have listed (#54).

:: Overall, it is not necessarily a big deal for me that a certain's golfer peak would have been before 1986 and is stated as post-1986 (as long as these peaks are relatively close). For example, [[Mark Wiebe]] or [[Donnie Hammond]] may have peaked before or during 1986 but we don't really know. Still, their official peak is only a few years later. Rather, the big deal for me is the wide gap between their likely peak, before 1986, and their "official" post-1986 peak. With Zoeller and O'Connor, in particular, the difference between their actual peak and their "official" peak is probably a full 15 years. This strikes me as very misleading. Likewise, with Baiocchi it is about a ten years difference.

== Tuohy's relationship with Derrick Pillage ==

Not sure what you make of [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/131787811 this]...

In the first paragraph it says that [[Bob Tuohy]] is joining a group of golfers under the auspices of Derrick Pillage. Then in the last paragraph it says he is making arrangements for number of British golfers to play in South African that are under the auspecies of Pillage.

Basically, in the title of the article and first paragraph it seems to imply that Tuohy is working with Pillage as a client (as are Barnes, Gallagher, and Job). But then later it seems to say that he is an employee for Pillage as sort of a middle man between Pillage and the British golfers. I just wasn't sure how to characterize this and was somewhat vague about it on his page.

== Mike Ferguson question ==

I know it sounds trivia-ish but I have had this nagging question about [[Mike Ferguson (golfer)]]. It's been on my mind for months. When I created his page I found a detail that says [[Stewart Ginn]] is his brother-in-law. It is [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/130829186 this article] about the 1982 [[Gold Coast Classic]]. It is in the second-to-last paragraph.

I believe the author may be confusing Ginn with the similarly named [[Payne Stewart]] who married Tracey Ferguson, Ferguson's sister. (Incidentally, Payne Stewart wins this event.)

Not sure if you have any info... it has just been nagging on my mind for a long time.

:I think you must be right. See eg https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RiRVAAAAIBAJ&pg=2158%2C656091 (3 days after your ref) which talks about his brother-in-law Payne Stewart. I suppose another of Ferguson's sisters could have married Stewart Ginn but it all seems incredibly unlikely. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 06:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

:: Yes, I thought it was a bit far-fetched that two of his sisters married professional golfers with similar names. Also, In my hours of research on Ferguson this is the only reference of him being brother-in-laws with Ginn. They are almost certainly confusing the two Stewarts - these papers make little mistakes like this all the time.

:: Anyway thank you for your response. I just deleted the information from Mike Ferguson's page.

I recently subscribed to this website for the first time. I was wondering what exactly the rules were for citing stuff from it. For example, under the page of [[Stuart Reese]] I "clipped" the small articles and included the actual headline in the citation title but for the longer ones I just copied and pasted. Basically, is "clipping" the proper etiquette here or can we just copy and paste?

:I tend to clip the article - this is then available to all readers. If you copy the url then only subscribers can read it (I think) - still a valid reference but not ideal. In the reference "title=" should be the title of the article eg "Ferguson stars in Canada's win", "newspaper=" should have the newspaper name eg "Times Colonist", "date=" for date, "page=" for page number.

(Full disclosure: I added the non-locked citation so the reader could actually see the original source.) Do you know why?

:: Lastly, are there copyright issues we should be worried with? Like, should the article be locked to protect the copyright of the original source or newspapers.com?

== Steve Oppermann's amateur career ==

Hi Nigej,

I was looking to see if you could complete some information pertaining to [[Steve Oppermann]]'s amateur career. I obviously found a lot but am missing two details. They are:

* His performance at the qualifying stage of the [[1960 U.S. Open (golf)]]. I have evidence that he played in [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76896799/nine-locals-in-us-open-qualifying/ local qualifying] but I don't know how far he advanced.

* I wasn't able to ascertain information about his play at the 1963 U.S. Amateur. I know [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76973530/amateurs-topped-by-opperman/ he qualified] but I am unaware of his performance. I have a link [https://www.newspapers.com/image/376378376/?terms=u.s.%20amateur&match=1 here] that goes over the first round results but I could not find his name. A bit mysterious...

Thanks,

1) I can't find his scores, although he is not among the 12 qualifiers. Seems this was local qualifying and the 12 moved on to sectional qualifying to try to make the main event. 2) The list must be incomplete. From other newspapers it's clear he lost in the first round to Lawrence (Larry) Bell 6&4. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 16:30, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

I noticed that you had changed many of the playoff boxes for golfers who played on PGA Tour/PGA Tour Champions/Korn Ferry Tour.

:I believe I've done all the men. There are 100 women to do. 61 "eliminated with par" 39 "eliminated with birdie" according to the search results. Planning to leave a few days before I do these. The men I did seemed to me mostly Korn Ferry or US Seniors (under various tour names). I didn't do any systematic checking, although I corrected a couple of obvious errors which I happened to notice, [[Gil Morgan]] and [[Naomichi Ozaki]]. Seem to be a complete lists of playoffs for these two tours here https://www.pgatour.com/korn-ferry-tour/stats/stat.ATR768.html and here https://www.pgatour.com/champions/stats/stat.ATR768.html but they don't give any extra details.[[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 16:57, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
::Again, similarly to the American playoff boxes (PGA Tour/KFT/Champions Tour), losses all have colouring style="background:#F08080;" (dark red), I would rather be using style="background:#F2C1D1;" (lighter red) for consistency amongst other tours.

I recently created a page for [[Barry Coxon]]. He received entry into the [[1965 Canada Cup]] however he did not actually play in the event. I noticed you created a page for the event. I was wondering if you could help clarify an issue.

I have evidence that in June 1965 Coxon received entry into the event.

Did this event take place? I have a link [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/110762337 here] that seems to suggest that the inaugural event was in 1974. However, on the wiki page for the [[South Coast Open]] it says the event began in 1975. In addition, although in the article the course information and date is consistent with the other events, it doesn't explicitly state [[South Coast Open]] in the text.

I am beginning to put together a new article for the New Course at St Andrews. However I would like your opinion as to what to name it. "[[New Course]]" is already in use. Therefore in my opinion I have two options:

# '''New Course at St Andrews''', which is consistent with the '''[[Old Course at St Andrews]]''', ''or''
# '''New Course, St Andrews''' (as per naming conventions), in which case to be consistent I would then also need consensus to rename the '''Old Course at St Andrews''' to '''Old Course, St Andrews'''.

:::::: In addition, although I am currently working on [[The Players Championship]] pages, perhaps these should be deleted too? There is text and a decent amount of citations on all of these pages. However, most of this is "routine" coverage - reported shortly after the event ended. To justify pages for individual tournaments I think we coverage months (or years) after the particular event.

This sort of debate goes back a long way, see eg [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010 Players Championship (3rd nomination)]] and related AfDs.

== a question about clipping ==

I have a question about clipping from newspapers.com.

So I use a lot of articles from newspapers.com and usually "clip" them. However, I am unsure about the value of this method. Sometimes, I try to see the article from the perspective of someone who doesn't have newspapers.com (so I don't sign in). For example, go to [[1971 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates]] and see citation #2. It is from an article from the ''Orlando Sentinel'''s Jim Warters. It doesn't seem like a non-user can really read this article. It is too vague and distant; the non-user can't "Zoom in" or anything. But non-users will be able to read more compact articles [https://www.newspapers.com/image/567222448/?terms=charlie%20bolling&match=1 like] this.

Basically, I am wondering if it is worth it to "clip" the longer articles. Before I was a newspapers.com user I thought it was valuable that I could read these clipped articles (the short ones that I could actually read). I could get real evidence about this particular event. But if a non-user can't even read these lengthy-written articles I don't see the point. As far as I can tell, a non-user can't "Zoom in" for the big articles.

Any help would be much appreciated.

:: I don't think so. For us subscribers, there is the "+" button where we can zoom in. For non-subscribers, from what I can tell, they can't. I think for the shorter articles I'm going to continue to clip but for the longer ones probably not.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

Please join [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#AFC_reviewer_Olaf_Kosinsky|''this discussion'']] - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]]. Even our review systems themselves at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation|AfC]] and [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|NPR]] have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

[[WP:COPYVIO|Copyright violations]] are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Copyright_violations_(WP:COPYVIO)|'''here''']].

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently '''706''' New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

== adding amount of weeks at #2 ==

Hey,

I just thinking we should add the amount of weeks golfers spent at #2 in the world if they peaked at that number. As you know, we do this for golfers who peaked at #1. I think it is important as a number of great golfers (an extreme example being [[Phil Mickelson]]) have spent a number of weeks stuck at #2. I think adding the weeks gives a good idea of how good of a number #2 they were.

However, I don't think we should expand this beyond #2. If some golfer spent a number of weeks stuck at #16 or something it is obviously irrelevant. But it seems to me that #2 is unique; as many golfers may have been good enough for #1 in other time periods but were stuck behind a legendary golfer (e.g. Tiger Woods).

In addition, we have a list which is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_male_golfers_who_have_been_in_the_world_top_10#Number_two_in_the_rankings_but_never_number_one.

:: Hmmm... up above is our Wiki list. Perhaps you mean a reliable third-party reference, though? If so, I have some details below...

:: Phil Mickelson's stature at #2 has received a wide level of attention. For example see [https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/tour-news/incredible-phil-mickelson-world-ranking-statistic-169646 here] and [https://www.sportscasting.com/phil-mickelson-spent-more-than-27-years-top-100-world-rankings-never-reached-number-1/ here] and [https://progolfnow.com/2021/03/11/phil-mickelson-pga-tour-top-100-record/ here].

:: For the rest of the guys, though, I must say that I found nothing. Perhaps we should just add the list of weeks for Mickelson, as he was such a dominant #2 and we have reliable third-party sources for it. What are your thoughts?

==EurAsia Cup TV times==
What does your TV schedule show for the EurAsia Cup? Here, the times are peculiar in the sense that it seems to finish a little early each day. My schedule shows 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM (4:00 to 7:00 AM your time). Do you get any more coverage than that, later into the day? For me, it seems a little early to finish. I would have thought that it would go another couple of hours into the day. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:04, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

==Joburg Open==
With the event now being tri sanctioned with the Asian Tour, and with 30 more players, did you see the breakdown of the nationalities? Here is the difference with the continents involved with last month's tournament compared to the tournament in early 2017:

+7 North America 
+1 South America 
−4 Europe 
+5 Oceania 
+8 Asia 
+13 Africa

As you can see, Europe is the only continent to lose numbers. Strange. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:46, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

== Tylenol par 3 shootout. Should these wins really count as professional wins ?. ==

Hi i am just wondering if par 3 shootouts really are professional wins that need to be added to players pages ?. Ie we do not count the Masters par 3 contest and that is much the same thing would you agree. These are mickey mouse events i do not think they should be included, what do you think ?. Regards [[Special:Contributions/31.200.174.254|31.200.174.254]] ([[User talk:31.200.174.254|talk]]) 05:56, 12 February 2018 (UTC).
:[[Tylenol Par-3 Shootout]]. I suspect it was a serious event, although a made-for-TV skins game. The Masters par 3 is just a bit of fun. I'm thinking of the Tylenol Par-3 Shootout more like the Hero World Challenge and as such puting in Other Wins. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 09:31, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

Nigej the Hero World Challenge carries world ranking points. It is a par 3 contest this is not tournament golf !. Wikipedia all of a sudden has to add everything as professional wins when some events are not !. Would you agree ?.

:I wouldn't even give the Hero World Challenge ranking points but it's not my decision. Wikipedia tends to follow the official line even when we think it's wrong. The problem with "professional wins", is that there's no accepted list and we have to decide for ourselves. Personally I'm happy with par-3 events. After all it's just golf on a shorter course. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:27, 12 February 2018 (UTC)

My point is you think its ok but does that make it a professional event. My point is the Masters par 3 contest does not count because it is a mickey mouse event like this gimmicky tylenol event and really come on they are never pro events ?.

==Shot Clock Masters==
Do you know why this event has 36 fewer players this year than it had last year? 156 last year as the Lyoness Open, and 120 this year with the new name. And it has 33 fewer Europeans this year than last year. Any idea why so many fewer players? It seems odd they would do this, there is plenty of daylight at this time of year. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:41, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
:No idea really. Seems a little odd since the whole purpose of the shot clock is to speed things up, which should allow a bigger field. I can only think that they only have a limited number of clocks or referees who can use them. Looks like they will need 20 on the first two days.

== Vandal on the World Seniors Championship is unreal ==

Hi as you can see what I have been dealing with some guy keeps changing the status of the World Seniors Championship because he thinks it relates to the main tour. The Seniors have their own tour like the golf Seniors. He is editing this from multiple ips. Can you help me stop this ?. Regards [[Special:Contributions/178.167.134.252|178.167.134.252]] ([[User talk:178.167.134.252|talk]]) 22:09, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
* LOL. Read what is vandal first. Here is the sources:
** "Open to any player not currently on tour aged over 40" (from pdf-file in 2017 article);
** "This tournament is only open to '''Amateur''' players not currently in the 128" (from pdf-file in 2018 article);
* So, only amateur (non-tour) players were eligible to play since 2017. "Non-ranking events" is a terminology used for the events with pro players (otherwise, Q-School, IBSF championships are the "non-ranking events" also). All players outside PRO-128 are amateurs; see references. [[Special:Contributions/46.211.110.147|46.211.110.147]] ([[User talk:46.211.110.147|talk]]) 22:13, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

But you are not listening World Seniors events are part of a new World Seniors Tour like in golf. Jimmy White, Ken Doherty and Steve Davis have played in the events. It is also opened up by Jason Francis to anybody who gets through qualifying can join the legends in the tournament proper. It is a Seniors Tour like in golf and all the editors agree here they are non-ranking wins on the Seniors Tour OK! [[Special:Contributions/178.167.134.252|178.167.134.252]] ([[User talk:178.167.134.252|talk]]) 22:24, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
* They were "non-ranking" until 2016 only when they were organized by World Snooker and eligible for the main tour pro-players. Since 2017, seniors events were organized by Snooker Legends, not World Snooker even, and open for the amateur players only, per cited references. [[Special:Contributions/46.211.110.147|46.211.110.147]] ([[User talk:46.211.110.147|talk]]) 22:28, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

It does not matter Snooker Legends actually started all the Seniors World Tour events so you are wrong. They were only introduced in the last season 4 of them as non-ranking ranking events OK? . It's a Seniors Tour event non ranking. And by the way the WPBSA/SNOOKER Legends are jointly running them next year [[Special:Contributions/178.167.134.252|178.167.134.252]] ([[User talk:178.167.134.252|talk]]) 22:35, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
* Try to find the sources for your claims first (about "non-ranking"). It's an amateur events since 2017 per refs in the article. [[Special:Contributions/46.211.110.147|46.211.110.147]] ([[User talk:46.211.110.147|talk]]) 22:38, 10 June 2018 (UTC)

You are not listening to anything I am saying Jason Francis wants qualifiers to get through sectional qualifying to play the legends on the World Seniors Tour. On the Snooker talk pages if you go back and read the Status of these events Betty Logan. Andy Gray and Nigej all agreed the status of the Seniors Tour events should be non-ranking go back and check if you like ?

* It's a pity for you, but Mark Davis, Jimmy White and Ken Doherty didn't play in 2017 and 2018 because they were not eligible for that year's editions, as it was exclusively for non-tour players, per sources. "Ranking" events are played with Top-128 pro-players (and included into the world ranking), and all "non-ranking" events (Masters, Champions League, Champions of Champions, Hong Kong, Haining) are played for same Top-128 pro-players (with the addition of the some wild cards).

===Comment===
I take a simple view. We can't call the [[2017 World Seniors Championship]] an amateur event when the winner wins £10,000. That would be just plain confusing - Wikipedia is meant to be readable by ordinary folk. See [[Amateur sports]]: "Amateur sports are sports in which participants engage largely or entirely without remuneration." Maybe the organisers have some strange idea what "amateur" means or maybe the participants are "amateurs" in some strange sense I don't understand, but the event can't be called "amateur" surely. Whether we call it "non-ranking" (as a catch-all for anything that isn't a [[ranking event]]) or something else I don't really care.

==Kolon Korea Open==
I was looking through my TV cable box schedule, and it is showing that Golf Channel is planning to show us live coverage of the Korea Open, which is unusual. It might be a mistake, and it might not be, time will tell in the next few days. I was wondering, does your TV schedule indicate that you will be receiving coverage of the Korea Open in the UK? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:21, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
:No, nothing in the UK, certainly not live. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 10:26, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
::Okay, thanks. I've found the cable box schedule with mistakes before. Late last year, it was showing that Golf Channel was going to show the Australian Masters. Clearly that was going to be a mistake, as the Australian Masters hasn't been played in a couple years now. .. Usually, the only time that Golf Channel would make it a point to show us an Asian Tour event was when it was late in the year, and they would show us the Thailand Golf Championship (which was not played last year anyway). But other than that, Golf Channel doesn't typically show us any Asian based golf tournaments that aren't sanctioned with the PGA Tour. Hopefully this year will be different, because I'm hoping they show the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament and the Japan Open, both of which are on the Japan Tour, as you know. They especially should show the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament, since Brooks Koepka will be trying to win his 3rd in a row. Our Golf Channel has been known to make exceptions; in February 2014, they decided to show the Ladies Australian Masters because Cheyenne Woods was in it. And two years ago, they decided to show the Singapore Open because Jordan Spieth was in it. So, with Brooks Koepka being the hot thing of the moment, Golf Channel really should make another exception and finally show us the Dunlop Phoenix tournament. We'll find out later this year. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:41, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

::Well it turns out that the TV box schedule was correct, Golf Channel is showing the Korea Open. I'm thinking they are showing it because it's in the Open qualifying. Some recognizable players in it are Kevin Na, KT Kim, Keith Horn, YE Yang, Richard T. Lee, Gaganjeet Bhullar, Sang Moon Bae, Miguel Tabuena, Terry Pilkadaris, Jeev Milkha Singh, and Jbe' Kruger. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 08:34, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
:::That must be right I think - that they are showing it because it's in the Open qualifying. Probably being an Open qualifying event has improved the field too, although perhaps its just that its an Asian tour event this year (some 50 non-Korean). Seems to be an event on the way up.

Do you know if there is any TV coverage of the Amateur Championship there in the UK? I don't think we have ever had it on TV here, not on Golf Channel nor any other network.

==3M Open conflict==
I want to ask your opinion, how to go about changing over a tournament from one tour to another.

Last year, when the tournament in the Dominican was changed from the Web.com Tour to the PGA Tour, we kept the page as it is, and simply added a new frame on the page to show that it is now a PGA Tour event.

Well now, the 3M Championship on the Champions Tour will be called the 3M Open and changed over to the PGA Tour. The problem is that I found that an editor (one I have never noticed as a golf editor) has made a seperate page for the 3M Open.

So, here is the question; do you think the new page should be kept? Or do you think we should ask for it to be deleted, and then simply use the existing 3M page next year for the 3M Open, the same as we continued to use the page for Dominican event once it was changed over to a PGA Tour event? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 16:50, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
:It's true that we usually keep the same page when tour affiliations change. It's very common outside US/Europe - especially with the Asian Tour/OneAsia rivalry that existed for a few years. I think in this case (the 3M Open) that it's more than that. Seniors event to main tour and with a different name. Probably the PGA Tour are thinking of it as a new event too. So I'm inclined to say leave it as it is - new page for the [[3M Open]]. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 17:01, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

==Open telecast question==
Hi Nigej, I was wondering how extensive the coverage of the Open is in the UK? I read something in social media the other day in which many British viewers were upset about the way the coverage is being handled. Which network(s) is carrying it there, and for how long has that network been having it? Here, the Golf Channel/NBC family has had it since 2016, and they are currently giving nearly 50 hours combined. We actually receive more hours of coverage of the Open Championship than we receive of the US Open. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 06:22, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
:I think it's similar to last year. The BBC showing 2 hour highlights each evening: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cq5w0/broadcasts/upcoming Sky has it's own pay channel with complete coverage. 14 hours straight today and tomorrow, 11 hours Sat and Sun. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 06:47, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
::Thank you. I thought that I heard Sky had acquired the coverage not long ago, but I wasn't sure. Here in the States though, we don't receive any of the Sky networks, but we do receive the BBC World News network; it's one of only three non American based networks available here in the States.

==European Open TV coverage==
I was wondering, are the 3rd and 4th rounds of the European Open shown live there, or are they shown on a delay? Here, with all that Golf Channel has to show for the week, there's a time conflict, and Golf Channel ends up showing the 3rd and 4th rounds on a 19 hour delay. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:37, 25 July 2018 (UTC)

:Yes live in the UK. European Open live until 4pm UK time (5pm German time) - last tee time is 11:45 UK time, then over to the Senior Open (where the last tee time is 2:40pm) until 7pm and then the PGA Tour after that's over.

==BMW PGA Championship winners template==

|}
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

;June backlog drive
Overall the June backlog drive was a success, reducing the last 3,000 or so to below 500. However, as expected, 90% of the patrolling was done by less than 10% of reviewers. Since the drive closed, the backlog has begun to rise sharply again and is back up to nearly '''1,400''' already. Please help reduce this total and keep it from raising further by reviewing some articles each day.

;New technology, new rules
*New features are shortly going to be added to the [[Special:NewPagesFeed]] which include a list of drafts for review, OTRS flags for COPYVIO, and more granular filter preferences. More details can be found at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/AfC Process Improvement May 2018#Execution plan and status|this page]].
*Probationary permissions: Now that PERM has been configured to allow expiry dates to all minor user rights, new NPR flag holders may sometimes be limited in the first instance to 6 months during which their work will be assessed for both quality and quantity of their reviews. This will allow admins to accord the right in borderline cases rather than make a flat out rejection.
*Current reviewers who have had the flag for longer than 6 months but have not used the permissions since they were granted will have the flag removed, but may still request to have it granted again in the future, subject to the same probationary period, if they wish to become an active reviewer.

;Editathons
*Editathons will continue through August. Please be gentle with new pages that obviously come from good faith participants, especially articles from developing economies and ones about female subjects. Consider using the '[[User:Evad37/MoveToDraft|move to draft]]' tool rather than bluntly tagging articles that may have potential but which cannot yet reside in mainspace.

;''The Signpost''
*The next issue of [[Wikipedia:The Signpost|the monthly magazine]] will be out soon. The newspaper is an excellent way to stay up to date with news and new developments between our newsletters. If you have special messages to be published, or if you would like to submit an article (one about NPR perhaps?), don't hesitate to contact the editorial team [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Newsroom/Submissions|here]].

==European Golf Team Championships==
Do you know if the European Golf Team Championships is going to have a knockout portion after the group play is completed, much like the WGC Match Play has? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 16:47, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
:There are semis and a final on the last day. 18 hole foursomes I think. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:08, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

===TV coverage===
It appears that we won't have any coverage of it on TV here in the States. Do you know if you will be able to see it on TV over there where you are? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:30, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
:The BBC are covering the [[European Championships]] extensively. I believe that includes the golf. How much the coverage will be I've not discovered. [[Eurosport]] are also covering the European Championships, but again I'm not sure of the golf. Seems they are covering at least the Sunday on the [[Eurosport Player]]. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 18:11, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks for your response. We get BBC World News here, but not BBC Sport. This is really frustrating that we can't see the Euro Team Championships here, golf or otherwise. We get extensive coverage of the Premier League here in the States, so, it's not as if the American networks have any problem showing European/British sporting events. One network here even gives us the entire Tour de France. ... I guess all we can do here is hope to see some highlights of it. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 21:28, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
::We also never get the [[The Amateur Championship]] nor the [[British Ladies Amateur Golf Championship]].

What source are you using to record the scores? I see that you entered the score for the first match. I went to the europeanchampionships.com site, but it isn't listing the score, only the winning team. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:26, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

::Yes thanks. But, that is where I was looking an hour ago, and at that time, they had not yet showed the score of the match. But yet, I noticed you had already loaded the score of that first match into Wikipedia. Were you looking at something else, something that told you the score before that site was showing it? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:54, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
:::I didn't have any problem but perhaps I was looking at a different time. This page doesn't give in-play scores, you have to click on LIVE to get those. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:38, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

==Images being taken down==
I was wondering if you know a way to be able to post images in the info box of golf tournaments without having them be at risk of being taken down? Fact is, a certain editor has gone around and removed a few of the images that I have uploaded, but usually only of the higher profile tournaments, such as the Players Championship and the Masters. It's frustrating, and I really don't know what the harm is. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:56, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
:Not my area at all really. Seems looking at [[The Players Championship]], for instance, [[:File:Players Championship logo.png]] has a [[WP:NFUR]] only for [[2016 Players Championship]]. However "A separate, specific rationale must be provided each time the media file is used in an article." Since there was one for [[2016 Players Championship]] but not one for [[Players Championship]] it was removed from the [[Players Championship]] article. Personally I find all this stuff so confusing or frustrating that I gave up adding images a long time ago. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:17, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

==BMW PGA Championship==
When this tournament moves to September next year, there will obviously be less daylight to work with. Do you happen to know if they will be lowering the players from 150 to a lower number? (Personally I don't know why they didn't put it in August instead, as it would be warmer outside and have more daylight to work with.) [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:09, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
:Honestly I've no idea but I am reminded of the old [[Piccadilly World Match Play]] from Wentworth, which I used to watch as a lad. That was early October I think but there were problems with morning fog sometimes. Maybe early September will be ok. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:17, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

::Off topic ... Approximately 90 minutes from the time I am typing this, TV coverage of the U.S. Amateur Championship gets underway from Pebble Beach, in the Fox family here in the States. Hopefully there is a decent amount of TV coverage of it over there in the UK. I remember when Matthew Fitzpatrick won it five years ago, becoming the first Englishman in over a century to win it. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:31, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

==Ryder Cup TV coverage==
Do you know how much coverage of the Cup is on TV there, and what network it is on? Hopefully it is generous coverage. .. Here, in the most recent Cup, Golf Channel gave us 10 and a half hours on Friday, and NBC gave us 16 hours on the weekend. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 04:55, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
:Yes 100% coverage on Sky Golf (pay) with highlights on the BBC in the evening (I believe). The Ryder Cup has a similar status to the Open, meaning that highlights must be made available. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 05:04, 17 August 2018 (UTC)

==Mickelson/Woods==
I learned that the exhibition match scheduled for late November is actually going to be on pay per view here in the USA. This came as a surprise, and a bit disappointing. I have no problem with pay per view, but golf on pay per view? ... Do you happen to know how it is going to be televised there in the UK? Will a regular network be showing it? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 02:02, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
:Gets mentioned on skysports: http://www.skysports.com/golf/news/12176/11479646/tiger-woods-and-phil-mickelson-set-for-7m-las-vegas-showdown but doesn't say whether they are covering it or not. Never heard of golf on pay-per-view here, usually boxing/wrestling. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 05:08, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks. Boxing, wrestling, and UFC gets on pay per view here, along with a few other things, but I think this is the fist time golf will be on pay per view here. They could end up regretting it. People want to see golf, but that doesn't mean they will pay special to see it on TV. Some of the 1992 Summer Olympic games were put on pay per view TV here, and they lost million$, because people simply weren't going to pay to watch the Olympics; in the present day, the networks of NBC (Golf Channel's parent network) furnish extensive coverage of the Olympics, no pay per view at all, which is nice. Even last summer, NBC launched the Olympic Channel. I'm hoping that they will have coverage of the Youth Summer Olympics in October. ... Well anyway, time will tell if this golf match on pay per view was a good idea, or a flop. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:45, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm wondering about the coverage you have there, is it plentiful? Here for example, we have at least 11 hours of it today; ESPN has it from 12:00 to 6:00 PM, and then ESPN 2 has it from 6:00 to 11:00.

::::Speaking of switching, a few minutes ago I had to switch away from the coverage of the US Open, the evening matches are about to start, and they are having Kelly Clarkson do a 20 minute + performance, and I don't wannna see that, I only want to see the tennis.

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

The New Page Feed currently has 2700 unreviewed articles, up from just 500 at the start of July. For a while we were falling behind by an average of about 40 articles per day, but we have stabilised more recently. Please review some articles from the back of the queue if you can (Sort by: 'Oldest' at [[Special:NewPagesFeed]]), as we are very close to having articles older than one month.

;Project news
* The [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Page Feed]] now has a new "Articles for Creation" option which will show drafts instead of articles in the feed, this shouldn't impact NPP activities and is part of the '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/AfC_Process_Improvement_May_2018|WMF's AfC Improvement Project]]'''.
:As part of this project, the feed will have some larger updates to functionality next month. Specifically, [[WP:ORES|ORES]] predictions will be built in, which will automatically flag articles for potential issues such as vandalism or spam. Copyright violation detection will also be added to the new page feed. See the projects's [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/AfC_Process_Improvement_May_2018|talk page]] for more info.
*There are a number of coordination tasks for New Page Patrol that could use some help from experienced reviewers. See [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Coordinator tasks]] for more info to see if you can help out.

;Other
*A new summary page of reliable sources has been created; [[Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources/Perennial sources]], which summarizes existing RfCs or RSN discussions about regularly used sources.

;Moving to Draft and Page Mover
*Some unsuitable new articles can be best reviewed by moving them to the draft space, but reviewers need to do this carefully and sparingly. It is most useful for topics that look like they ''might'' have promise, but where the article as written would be unlikely to survive AfD. If the article can be easily fixed, or if the only issue is a lack of sourcing that is easily accessible, tagging or adding sources yourself is preferable. If sources do not appear to be available and the topic does not appear to be notable, tagging for deletion is preferable (PROD/AfD/CSD as appropriate). See additional guidance at [[WP:DRAFTIFY]].
*If the user moves the draft back to mainspace, or recreates it in mainspace, please do not re-draftify the article (although swapping it to maintain the page history may be advisable in the case of copy-paste moves). AfC is optional except for editors with a clear [[WP:COIEDIT|conflict of interest]].
*Articles that have been created in contravention of our [[WP:UPE|paid-editing-requirements]] or written from a blatant NPOV perspective, or by authors with a clear [[WP:COIEDIT|COI]] might also be draftified at discretion.
*The best tool for draftification is [[User:Evad37/MoveToDraft.js]]([[User:Evad37/MoveToDraft|info]]). Kindly adapt the text in the dialogue-pop-up as necessary (the default can also be changed [[Special:Diff/855103575|like this]]). Note that if you do not have the [[WP:PAGEMOVER|Page Mover]] userright, the redirect from main will be automatically tagged as [[WP:R2|CSD R2]], but in some cases it might be better to make this a redirect to a different page instead.
*The [[WP:PAGEMOVER|Page Mover]] userright can be useful for New Page Reviewers; occasionally [[Wikipedia:Page mover#Page swapping|page swapping]] is needed during NPR activities, and it helps avoid excessive R2 nominations which must be processed by admins. Note that the Page Mover userright has higher requirements than the NPR userright, and is generally given to users active at [[WP:RM|Requested Moves]]. Only reviewers who are very experienced and are also very active reviewers are likely to be granted it solely for NPP activities.

{{Collapse|bg=#90C0FF|2=List of other useful scripts for New Page Reviewing|1= 
*[[WP:Twinkle|Twinkle]] provides a lot of the same functionality as the page curation tools, and some reviewers prefer to use the Twinkle tools for some/all tasks. It can be activated simply in the [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|gadgets section of 'preferences']]. There are also a lot of options available at [[Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences|the Twinkle preferences panel]] after you install the gadget.
*In terms of other gadgets for NPR, [[WP:HotCat|HotCat]] is worth turning on. It allows you to easily add, remove, and change categories on a page, with name suggestions.
*[[meta:MoreMenu|MoreMenu]] also adds a bunch of very useful links for diagnosing and fixing page issues.
*[[User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js]]([[User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller|info]]): Installing scripts doesn't have to be complicated. Go to [[Special:MyPage/common.js|your common.js]] and copy <code><nowiki>importScript( 'User:Equazcion/ScriptInstaller.js' );</nowiki></code> into an empty line, now you can install all other scripts with the click of a button from the script page! (Note you need to be at the ".js" page for the script for the install button to appear, not the information page)
*[[User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol.js]]([[User:TheJosh/Scripts/NewPagePatrol|info]]): Creates a scrolling new pages list at the left side of the page. You can change the number of pages shown by adding the following to the next line on your common.js page (immediately after the line importing this script): <code><nowiki>npp_num_pages=20;</nowiki></code> (Recommended 20, but you can use any number from 1 to 50).
*[[User:Primefac/revdel.js]]([[User:Primefac/revdel|info]]): Is requesting revdel complicated and time consuming? This script helps simplify the process. Just have the Copyvio source URL and go to the history page and collect your diff IDs and you can drop them into the script Popups and it will create a revdel request for you.
*[[User:Lourdes/PageCuration.js]]([[User:Lourdes/PageCuration|info]]): Creates a "Page Curation" link to [[Special:NewPagesFeed]] up near your sandbox link.
*[[User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/deletionFinder.js]]: Creates links next to the title of each page which show up if it has been previously deleted or nominated for deletion.
*[[User:Evad37/rater.js]]([[User:Evad37/rater|info]]): A fantastic tool for adding WikiProject templates to article talk pages. If you add: <code><nowiki>rater_autostartNamespaces = 0;</nowiki></code> to the next line on your common.js, the prompt will pop up automatically if a page has no Wikiproject templates on the talk page (note: this can be a bit annoying if you review redirects or dab pages commonly).

== Celia Barquín Arozamena ==

Leaving aside the matter of his tragic death, as a golfer, is she a notable enough? This is a serious question. Other wikis such as de.wiki are considering that winning one amateur championship is not relevant enough. She could've had a promising career, but we will never know. What is the criteria here on en.wiki. Thanks for your reply! From es.wiki [[User:Triplecaña|Triplecaña]] ([[User talk:Triplecaña|talk]]) 09:13, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
:As per [[WP:NGOLF]] part 4: "They have won at least one recognized amateur golf tournament at the national or international level". Now this is very loose in my view. I did try to change this, see: [[Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)/Archive 30#Proposed change to WP:NGOLF (2)]] to restrict this criteria (for modern golfers) to "elite" WAGR events but got very little interest. Concerning [[Celia Barquín Arozamena]]; she won the [[European Ladies Amateur Championship]] in late July. This is an elite WAGR event, so that she would satisfy WP:NGOLF under either the current or my proposed change. [[WP:NSPORTS]] says "The article must provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets the general notability guideline or the sport specific criteria set forth below." I can see that she's at the bottom end of notability as a golfer, but using WP:NGOLF she is notable enough. I can assure you that if she hadn't won the European Ladies Amateur Championship, I wouldn't have created the article.

==Oliver Fisher==
Hi there, I don't know if you are on here (depending on what is going on with the block), but I am watching Oliver Fisher on a 59 watch, and he is currently co leading the Portugal Masters. Wherever you are, hopefully you are able to see it. He is currently 10 strokes under par through 12 holes today alone. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:47, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
:Back to my palatial country retreat (actually it's a semi-ruin) so I have wi-fi but can only edit my talk page. No golf coverage here. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 10:56, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
::Ah, well hopefully you can be able to see the European Tour website to keep track of the scores that way. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:34, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
::He's 11 under through sixteen holes. So, he needs to play 1 under par over the last two holes, to get the 59. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:39, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
:::Some little clips on twitter. Birdied 17. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
::::Yes! I was nervous about that birdie try, but he got it. And at the last, he nipped the edge of the hole for a 58 but it didn't go. But, he did make the next putt for par, and got the 59. Well done! [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:23, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

==Ryder Cup==
Best of luck to Europe. The USA team hasn't won on European soil in twenty five years. Personally I'm hoping they will do it this time, as you might imagine. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 06:09, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
:Could go either way, it seems to me. Americans generally better but Europe has the home advantage. Back to my country retreat, so can't edit for a while. New roof being put on as I write this. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 06:50, 28 September 2018 (UTC)

::Europe is leading 8 to 3. Maybe the USA can salvage this one last morning match. Currently, Spieth and Thomas are 1 up in their match, through 14 holes. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:11, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
:::8-4 is a good lead. Bookmakers have Europe as about 80% chance of winning now. USA+Tie at 20%. Plenty to play for. No sign of Mickelson today. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:04, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
::::Well, here we go, time for the singles matches. Down four, the odds are against the USA. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:02, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
::::Also, in the FIBA women's tournament, the USA plays Australia for the gold medal in basketball. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 10:04, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
:::::Good win for Europe. Too much for the US to come back from. 10-6 is a good lead. Continues a long list of European successes in Europe. The wildcards turned out to be the difference between the teams. or maybe it was that the older Europeans performed well. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 18:53, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
::::::Yes. What can I say, it was a thrashing. After the USA lead 3 to 0 after the first three matches on Friday, Europe then went on win 17.5 of the remaining 25 points. Well, the USA will next year play the Presidents Cup, and they always do well in that. .... Currently, I'm watching the gold medal game of the FIBA (basketball) Women's World Cup. Team USA is playing Australia, and the USA is trying to successfully defend their championship. It's looking good so far. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:27, 30 September 2018 (UTC)
::::::By the way, in golf, the PGA Tour will now be starting a new season, and it's always fun to look forward to that. And the European Tour is on to Scotland for the Dunhill, which will have some big names. ... Personally, I was hoping that professional golf (PGA or European) would use the Olympic course in Rio de Janeiro for an official tournament. Who knows, maybe one day they will. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:33, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

==2018 Summer Youth Olympics==

And the Safeway event. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:04, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
:Can't edit here, only with a mobile using the phone signal. None of the above events, only the [[Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship]] which is at the half-way stage. Creating some [[Eisenhower Trophy]] pages, ready to add at some future date. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:53, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
::Looking forward to seeing that page of yours. I myself have been working on something for the female golfers, but it's taking quite some time. So, I've been working on it little bits here and there. It takes a long time because of having to go back and forth between a website and a Wikipedia page. I'm hoping to have it ready before November. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 14:15, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

;Backlog
{{As of|21 October 2018}}, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

;Community Wishlist Proposal
* There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding the [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Community_Wishlist_Proposal|drafting of a Community Wishlist Proposal]] for the purpose of requesting bug fixes and missing/useful features to be added to the New Page Feed and Curation Toolbar.
* Please '''[[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Community_Wishlist_Proposal|join the conversation]]''' as we only have until 29 October to draft this proposal!

;Project updates
* [[mw:ORES|ORES predictions]] are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
* There are now tools [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#New_bot_trial_for_copyvios|being tested]] to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

;New scripts
* [[User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel.js]]([[User:Enterprisey/cv-revdel|info]]) — A new script created for quickly placing {{tl|copyvio-revdel}} on a page.

==How are you?==
How's it going these days? I had not seen an edit from you in three weeks. I went to the HSBC page to edit it, and I found you had already done it. Did you get the issue fixed, or do you still have it? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:33, 27 October 2018 (UTC)
:Back in civilisation so able to edit again. Other problem unresolved but with winter coming, only a wood burner and no hot water, we won't be spending much time in our country retreat/ruin for the next few months. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:39, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

==Thanks==
Thanks for fixing my mistake on the WGC HSBC Champions page, I simply wasn't thinking straight, it's very early in the morning here. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 08:13, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

==Shriners Hospitals for Children Open==
The Shriners Hospitals for Children Open field this year has been reduced from 144 to 132. I assume it is because it is too difficult to get 144 players all the way through each day with enough daylight to work with. It's early November. They tried it last year, and they likely realized that it was a bad idea. Early November, in the USA, simply doesn't allow for enough daylight for a field any larger than 132. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:53, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

At least not on one course. The RSM Classic uses two courses. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:57, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:Probably true. Always was a problem for these end of year events, especially with the modern slow play. Anyway 132 seems like a large number. Personally I'd be happy to see smaller fields generally (except for the majors).[[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:01, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
::Well also, it seems they made up the difference with Americans. There are twelve fewer Americans this year, which is the exact difference in the field overall. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 14:30, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
::They ran out of daylight on the first day, even with the reduced field. There were still four groups on the course when play was called for the day. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 17:28, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

==Rolex Paris Masters==
I meant to ask, are you watching this tennis tournament? And is it on TV there? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:22, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:No, not on my TV here. Used to be on the BBC but now Sky Sports (like nearly everything). Plenty of snooker on eurosport for me. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:18, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},
;<big>Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Admins and patrollers/Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements|NOW]]</big>
*'''Community Wishlist''' Voting takes place '''16 to 30 November''' for the [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Admins and patrollers/Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements|'''Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements''']], and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is '''very important''' as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.

:If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.

:We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.

:With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2018-10-28/Special_report|''The Signpost'' Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers']], and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Special report|article in this month's upcoming issue]] of ''The Signpost'' which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

It's nice to see our American win on the European Tour, isn't it? Now he should get some name recognition in the golf media.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Reviewer of the Year
[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|right|200px]]
This year's award for the '''''Reviewer of the Year''''' goes to {{noping|Onel5969}}. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554{{nbsp}}reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285{{nbsp}}edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
:Thanks are also extended for their work to {{noping|JTtheOG}} (15,059 reviews), {{noping|Boleyn}} (12,760{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Cwmhiraeth}} (9,001{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Semmendinger}} (8,440{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|PRehse}} (8,092{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Arthistorian1977}} (5,306{{nbsp}}reviews), {{noping|Abishe}} (4,153 reviews), {{noping|Barkeep49}} (4,016{{nbsp}}reviews), and {{noping|Elmidae}} (3,615{{nbsp}}reviews). {{noping|Cwmhiraeth}}, {{noping|Semmendinger}}, {{noping|Barkeep49}}, and {{noping|Elmidae}} have been New Page Reviewers for less than a year — Barkeep49 for only seven{{nbsp}}months, while {{noping|Boleyn}}, with an edit count of 250,000 since she joined Wikipedia in 2008, has been a bastion of New Page Patrol for many years.

;Less good news, and an appeal for some help
[[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog chart|The backlog is now approaching <big>'''5,000'''</big>]], and still rising. There are around 640{{nbsp}}holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.

;Really good news - NPR wins the Community Wishlist Survey 2019
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3{{nbsp}}December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. [[m:Community Wishlist Survey 2019/Results|See the results]].

;Training video
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute{{nbsp}}video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Training_video|here]], particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

==Coordinates==
Do you know if there would be some sort of error if we try to put a second set of coordinates at the top of a page (meaning, putting something like this >"coord|-20.167|57.766|type:event|display=title" at the bottom of the editing window, below the first one, but of course it would be a 2nd set of coordinates)? The reason I ask is because that MCB event now has two locations. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 11:27, 16 December 2018 (UTC)
:Honestly, I don't know the answer. When I was doing the [[Eisenhower Trophy]] pages recently, I left it out if there were 2 venues used. I'll look into it. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]])
:Seems that it's only intended for a single location when using the display=title form. You can use it twice but it puts the second on top of the first, which is no good. An alternative is to use display=inline and put them somewhere else, like the infobox, eg:
<nowiki>| location = [[Mauritius]] {{coord|-20.167|57.766|type:event|display=inline}} [[Seychelles]] {{coord|-12.345|67.890|type:event|display=inline}}</nowiki>

which looks ok to me, but whether it's approved of I don't know. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:18, 16 December 2018 (UTC)

It's nearly time for this tournament. Will you be able to see a lot of coverage of it there?

While it certainly maybe true that there are "many pro-ams held each week", however, those events could not say that they were attended by both current Jamaican Prime Minister ([[Andrew Holness]]) and by current United States Congressman [[Yvette Clarke]].

== Australian Amateur ==

Hi this is pipamidalton. Thank you for reverting my edits. I thought they were not allowed because they contained dead links. I feel awful thinking I improved the article. I apologize for them. Still a newbie but appreciate your correction and clarification.[[User:Pipamidalton|Pipamidalton]] ([[User talk:Pipamidalton|talk]]) 08:33, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Pipamidalton}} "dead links" are different really. I know its tempting to remove red links to make the article look nicer but the general principle is to leave them in, unless you think there will never be or shouldn't be such an article. If there's a red link to something really odd or obscure, you should remove it. Anyway, keep up the good work. Wikipedia needs more editors. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 08:56, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for reassurances but I know how tedious it is to clean up after. I complain a lot about nuisance and unconstructive edits made on other articles, especially after all the hard work one puts in to polish and clean up to keep it good and pretty, I hate to think I made your life harder a bit when reverting my errors.thanks for something inieagned today on Wikipedia style.[[User:Pipamidalton|Pipamidalton]] ([[User talk:Pipamidalton|talk]]) 09:05, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Pipamidalton}} Actually reverting a string of edits by one editor is quite easy so no harm done there. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 09:07, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

Thanks just the same. I learned something important today.[[User:Pipamidalton|Pipamidalton]] ([[User talk:Pipamidalton|talk]]) 09:16, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

== Open sources ==

Hi Nigej. Think I have made what I would describe as a noob mistake with one of my Open citation links. I thought it was from a book and that was the source originally used in the wiki article, but realised now that it was copying what was in wikipedia. So basically used a source which is itself sourced by wikipedia. I don't think any content I put together was wrong though. I looked back and you put together the history of the qualifying process and format that was listed in the main article (and I moved to its own separate article). Did you use a single source to do that or did you build up the information from the individual years articles (i.e. the newspaper sources from each year)? Thanks --[[User:Jopal22|Jopal22]] ([[User talk:Jopal22|talk]]) 21:14, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
:I built it up from individual years, mainly cos I couldn't find anything satisfactory. Not the best approach maybe but sometimes its the only way. I seem to remember finding some wrong information in one of the Open articles from the 1920s and then setting out to find the truth. Had some good fun with the Opens. eg 1911 was "The 1911 Open Championship was a golf competition held at the Royal St George's Golf Club. Harry Vardon won the competition." before me and others got started. Hopefully a little better now. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 21:29, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
::I thought you must have. It's a good list, hope you didn't mind me moving it to an article of its own. Bit of a learning experience for me, found quite often when I searched for something that I was second guessing whether it was all from wikipedia originally or a genuinely independent source.--[[User:Jopal22|Jopal22]] ([[User talk:Jopal22|talk]]) 21:59, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
:::Yes it is an interesting aspect of Wikipedia. Someone writes something unreferenced in Wikipedia, some lazy journalist copies it, someone else then references this in Wikipedia. Part of the reason I like to confirm details by checking with contemporary sources, where possible. Also, the organisers of events have an interest in demonstrating a continuity over the years to make the event look as important as possible sometimes at the expense of accuracy. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 09:15, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

== Defamatory content ==

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eggheads_(TV_series)&diff=prev&oldid=881087553 Please point it out to me] 'cause I'm missing it. And jumping right to a final warning otherwise is overkill. What I see is an edit war over unsourced neutral content warranting a level one at best.-- [[User:Dlohcierekim|Dlohcierekim]] ([[User talk:Dlohcierekim|talk]]) 12:44, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
:One user has been pursuing a campaign against Lisa Thiel on [[Eggheads (TV series)]] for years, it seems. Often it takes the form of pretending that she is leaving imminently, hence the 2019 being added. Sometimes more abusive, see last edit to [[Make Me an Egghead]]. Mindless really. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:05, 31 January 2019 (UTC)
:A couple of early examples from 2015/2016: {{Diff2|683764460}} {{Diff2|702966586}}. For a while he gave up the abuse, simply adding an end year to Lisa Thiel's dates, eg {{Diff2|725279112}} from 2016 (an example which his other distinguishing feature of changing "me an" to "mean"). {{Diff2|801120383}} is an example from 2017. {{Diff2|869640429}} shows a more recent example of the abuse.

==Welsh Alliance League ''seasons''==

I have been working on Welsh Alliance League and its seasons, having recently created the [[2017–18 Welsh Alliance League|2017–18]] and [[2018–19 Welsh Alliance League|2018–19]] seasons (while keeping 2018–19 up to date). I then wanted to go back to all the way to when the league started in the 1984–85 season. So I created league table templates from [[Template:1984–85 Welsh Alliance League table|1984–85]] season to date. I was next going to work my way back through the seasons and create and update all seasons (using these league table templates in the articles). So to see 'Nomination for Deletion' come about feels unfair considering that I am currently working my way through. I'm sorry {{Ping|Zackmann08}} if I caused offence when I replied to you first about the nomination for deletion but it did throw me back. I understand that you don't want unused templates to exist but these templates will be used. I am just getting round to implementing them into the articles. If you look at my contributions you will see that I have made many contributions to the Welsh Alliance League, which is a mammoth task. I have enjoyed contributing to Wikipedia and would like to continue in doing so. [[User:Onshore|Onshore]] ([[User talk:Onshore|talk]]) 21:06, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
:{{ping|Onshore}} no one ever said you couldn't keep contributing... If you have an objection to the deletion, then discuss it at the TFD. That is what it is for... --'''[[User:Zackmann08|Zackmann]]''' ([[User_talk:Zackmann08|Talk to me]]/[[Special:Contributions/Zackmann08|What I been doing]]) 21:17, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

== FIBA Intercontinental Cup Finals Top Scorer ==

I saw your comment at [[Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2019_February_21#Template:FIBA_Intercontinental_Cup_Finals_Top_Scorer]]. I had [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=FIBA_Intercontinental_Cup&diff=881720024&oldid=881607228 tried to delete] the content from [[FIBA Intercontinental Cup]] since there was no consensus to merge at the AfD, but then the editor restored it while tweaking the [[WP:OR]] that it was an award. At that point, I did not further pursue it as an [[WP:UNDUE]] content issue. I left open the possibility that this was somehow talked about in non-English sources, though I pretty much doubt it. The same editor has also created pages like [[EuroLeague Finals Top Scorer]], [[ABA League Top Scorer]], and [[Basketball Bundesliga Top Scorer]]. I think they believe that since a leading/top scorer is notable in some leagues, that a similiar stat list should be created for all leagues. At any rate, I would support removing it from FIBA Intercontinental Cup, barring any further evidence that it is notable.—[[User:Bagumba|Bagumba]] ([[User talk:Bagumba|talk]]) 10:08, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

== Two man team Golf events ==

Hi I do editing for golf and I think that two man team event wins should be added to the team wins section and removed as individual wins on players wiki pages. A team win is a team win not an individual win. The same rule should apply to golf as it does in all other sports when this occurs. Your thoughts please ?. Regards [[Special:Contributions/92.251.160.97|92.251.160.97]] ([[User talk:92.251.160.97|talk]]) 13:28, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
:There's been many discussions about this in the past. My own view is that foursomes, fourballs and similar are not team events, they are just a different form of golf (like doubles in tennis) - covered by the rules of golf. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 13:47, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Doubles in Tennis is regarded as Doubles titles and not Singles or individual wins. I am sorry but I do not agree four man or foursomes are team events as they are so called "Team Events". what is the process needed for adding these as team wins ?.

:The first section is generally called "Professional wins" and includes wins in singles, foursomes and fourballs. The other section is "Team appearances" and lists events where a player has represented a team. Within this style, the [[Zurich Classic of New Orleans]] is regarded as a Professional win. The players do not represent anything in this event, it is simply a pairs event. I know is it referred to as a Team Event but it would clearly not be suitable for the Team Appearances section.

==TV ratings for golf==
Hi there, do you know a website that shows the TV viewership numbers for the programs aired in the UK? The Zurich Classic had bad numbers in the USA this past weekend, and I was wondering how it did over there. Are there any websites that show the TV ratings for the programs on British TV? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 18:54, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

:It's covered (like almost all golf) on Sky: https://www.skysports.com/watch/golf-on-sky Live coverage but often not on main golf channel where it clashes with a mens event. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 05:49, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
:: Okay thanks, I could not help but wonder.

... it is '''useful''' to our readers.

==Watford vs. West Ham==
Does your TV schedule show that this Watford vs West Ham game is scheduled for 3:00 PM British time on Sunday? Oddly enough, our Golf Channel is actually scheduled to show this game on Sunday, to the point that the times for the final round of the British Masters have apparently been moved up. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 08:32, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
:The match is definitely on Sunday at 3 pm local time. Last day of the premier league, all 10 matches being played at the same time. Not sure why they'd be showing a mid-table match when the interest is between Man City and Liverpool. No idea when the tee times are for the golf but would't clash on TV here since golf and soccer have different Sky channels. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 08:44, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
::Thanks. Well, like I was telling someone earlier, Sky used to be in the Fox family, but Sky is now in the NBC family, and the NBC family shows quite a bit of the Premier League here in the States. And NBC now owns Golf Channel, so, I suppose Golf Channel is under some strange obligation to show this Watford/West Ham match. Although there is a possibility that the TV schedule is wrong. I won't know until the time comes on Sunday morning. ... I can say though that the coverage I watched this morning of the British Masters on Golf Channel was in fact a feed from Sky. It was not a production of Golf Channel itself. It definitely was the Sky feed, with Sky announcers and graphics. This is the first time that Golf Channel has done this. ... And finally, I saw a big crowd at that tournament. It seems like it is getting the same amount of attention that the BMW PGA Championship has gotten. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:04, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

::::I checked the tee times for the final round, and the last tee time is 9:50 (4:50 for me). So, I think this means they want to be finished early so they don't have to compete with all the footy. I'm going to try to be up early to see the finish. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 19:43, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
:::::Yes, that's a very early time for the last group. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 19:50, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
::::::Yep. Well that won't be the only early tee time. The final round of the Regions Tradition will be seen here on a delay on Golf Channel, as the tee times have been moved up to avoid bad weather. The last tee time will go out at 9:00 AM Central time, 10:00 AM my time. Golf Channel's coverage of it begins at 12:00 PM, making the delay approximately 3 hours. ... And as I am typing this, the Byron Nelson on CBS got going only a few minutes ago due to weather, and they are 6 hours behind schedule today. Clearly they will not be able to finish the third round today. They are talking about making two cuts, with only 60 players finishing the 4th round so they can actually have four rounds while at the same time being able to get finished on Sunday, to avoid having a Monday finish right before the PGA Championship.

:::::: No need for a playoff, the young Swede won. ... On the topic of football though, I now know why our Golf Channel is showing the West Ham/Watford game. It is because ten NBC related outlets are showing all the games today. This included the NBC broadcast network itself, eight of NBC's cable partners (including Golf Channel), and one website.

==Sky Sports on the scene at the PGA Championship==
I'm watching "Live From The PGA Championship" on Golf Channel, and this segment is soley with the personalities from Sky Sports, along with their Sky Sports microphones, doing "On The Range". As I mentioned previously, Sky is now in the NBC/Golf Channel family. And, because we get the Open Championship tournament coverage on Golf Channel and NBC, I don't doubt that we will see plenty of Sky when that time comes this summer. ... TNT and CBS give us approximately 28 hours of PGA Championship tournament coverage. And Golf Channel and NBC give us nearly 50 hours of Open Championship tournament coverage.

Has American Amanda Anisimova gotten much conversation going over there? I am watching coverage on Tennis Channel (and later NBC) of the women's semifinal match, and she is leading 1 set to 0. The last American woman to win the French Open not named Williams was Capriati in 2001, and coincidentally Amanda was born in 2001. And her Wikipedia page got over 140,000 views yesterday. ..

::But I like the women's USA soccer team's chances better than I like the USA rugby men's team's chances. In late September, it will be time for the next rugby World Cup, and our USA team usually gets beaten soundly. I'm hoping for a single win by them. There isn't really much rugby talent developed here, and so our national rugby team is usually inferior to the other national teams.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;WMF at work on NPP Improvements
More new features are being added to the feed, including the important red alert for previously deleted pages. This will only work if it is selected in your filters. Best is to 'select all'. Do take a moment to check out all the new features if you have not already done so. If anything is not working as it should, please let us know at [[WT:NPR|NPR]]. There is now also a live queue of [[WP:AfC|AfC]] submissions in the New Pages Feed. Feel free to review AfCs, but bear in mind that NPP is an official process and policy and is more important.
;QUALITY of REVIEWING
Articles are still not always being checked thoroughly enough. If you are not sure what to do, leave the article for a more experienced reviewer. Please [[quis custodiet ipsos custodes|be on the alert]] for any incongruities in patrolling and help your colleagues where possible; report patrollers and autopatrolled article creators who are ostensibly undeclared paid editors.
The displayed ORES alerts offer a greater 'at-a-glance' overview, but the new challenges in detecting unwanted new content and sub-standard reviewing do not necessarily make patrolling any easier, nevertheless the work may have a renewed interest factor of a different kind. A vibrant community of reviewers is always ready to help at [[WT:NPR|NPR]].
;Backlog
The backlog is still far too high at between 7,000 and 8,000. Of around 700 user rights holders, 80% of the reviewing is being done by just TWO users. In the light of more and more subtle advertising and undeclared paid editing, New Page Reviewing is becoming more critical than ever.
;Move to draft
NPR is [[triage]], it is not a clean up clinic. This move feature is not limited to bios so you may have to slightly re-edit the text in the template before you save the move. Anything that is not fit for mainspace but which ''might'' have some promise can be draftified - particularly very poor English and machine and other low quality translations.
;Notifying users
Remember to use the message feature if you are just tagging an article for maintenance rather than deletion. Otherwise articles are likely to remain perma-tagged. Many creators are [[WP:SPA|SPA]] and have no intention of returning to Wikipedia. Use the feature too for leaving a friendly note note for the author of a first article you found well made or interesting. Many have told us they find such comments particularly welcoming and encouraging.
;PERM
Admins are now taking advantage of the new time-limited user rights feature. If you have recently been accorded NPR, do check your user rights to see if this affects you. Depending on your user account preferences, you may receive automated notifications of your rights changes. Requests for permissions are not mini-RfAs. Helpful comments are welcome ''if absolutely necessary'', but the bot does a lot of the work and the final decision is reserved for admins who do thorough research anyway.
;Other news
School and academic holidays will begin soon in various places around the Western world. Be on the lookout for the usual increase in hoax, attack, and other junk pages.

Our next newsletter might be announcing details of a possible election for co-ordinators of NPR. If you think you have what it takes to micro manage NPR, take a look at [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Coordination#New_Page_Review_Coordinators|New Page Review Coordinators]] - it's a job that requires a lot of time and dedication.

==Some mixed questions==
If you'll indulge me, I have three unrelated questions. First, do you know why the Irish Open would have one wave of tee times this year, when they had two waves last year? Second, do you know if our Independence Day parade that our president is putting on will be on television over there later today? And third, as far as the Gold Cup and the Copa America events, do you know if either one of those are being televised over there and whether anyone there has any interest in watching them? [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 07:10, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
:No idea about the Irish Open. Perhaps because the 10th tee is nowhere near the clubhouse. Re: Independence Day, I suspect that it'll be a big story for the 24 hour news channels but probably not sufficient interest for separate programmes. Gold Cup and the Copa America are niche events over here. Perhaps more interest in the [[Africa Cup of Nations]]. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 12:10, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
::Thank you. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 15:39, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
::By the way, I happened to find coverage of the Africa Cup on TV here. It's on Bein Sports, which has very low viewership, averaging only 4,000 viewers per day nationwide across the USA. Here is a chart of mine that I made to show the viewership of several networks: [[User:Johnsmith2116/Cable television viewership|Cable television viewership]] [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 06:52, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

==Konta==
Konta has put Stephens out. Konta has to be considered one of the favorites to win Wimbledon. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 15:41, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
:Yes. Seems a streaky player so me. Top-10 at one time, then dropped down the rankings. Now on an up, so anything could happen. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 16:28, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
::Well also, Alison Riske has put of the number 1 player, Barty. It's getting interesting.

==Golf and tennis majors==
Have you ever noticed the lack of unique criteria used in the selection of the players in the tennis majors? I like tennis, but I noticed that the nationalities in the tennis majors is basically the same across the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open. But the golf majors obviously have unique criteria for each of them; there is a huge difference between the nationality distribution of the US Open golf and the Open Championship golf, easily proving that there is unique criteria used for each. So, if tennis uses the same criteria for all four majors, the only difference they have is the geographic location. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 12:10, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
:Perhaps golf is a little unusual in that the four majors each decide their own qualifying rules. I don't think they are quite as distinctive as they used to be though. The top x in the world rankings get in automatically and since one of them near always wins (31 in a row have been in the world top-50), they aren't quite so different as you might think. Of course, the tennis grand slams are distinctive in other ways (eg the surface) like the golf majors. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 14:16, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
::True, the surfaces are different. Somehow that slipped my mind even though it's something I've always known. And of course our US Open tennis tournament is coming up in a few weeks, it starts a week before Lobo(u)r Day, and finishes a week after.

==Spam==
Those links to outside websites (which may or may not be harmful to our computers) tend to get onto the pages of major golf tournaments.

::I hope so, too. But then again, if more than one person is going to do that type of spam, there could be more spam on the way.

==A busy time==
Wow, this week in golf we have a WGC (and an alternate event), a senior major, and a women's major. This means extra work filling in scores in Wikipedia. Then next week, we have another women's major to fill in. ... But I'm not complaining, better to have too much golf than not enough. Also I'm looking forward to seeing the Solheim Cup at GlenEagles in Scotland. What I can't understand is why the PGA Tour schedule is going to have the QBE Shootout and the Presidents Cup in the same week. Maybe they simply ran out of calendar.

Well done, filling out the FedEx Cup page. That saves me the time today. Also, impressive that you did it all in one edit. I don't know if you had it prepared in advance and simply copied and pasted from a scrip you worked on, but still, well done. Each year, that page is one that requires quite a bit of work. ... Next summer, we will have the Olympic Golf pages to work on, and that is a ton of work. On the one Olympic golf page I worked on in 2016, I think I had over 100 edits there. It's nice when it can be worked on by several editors. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 13:59, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

On an off topic, I am watching the Canadian Open tennis tournament, on Tennis Channel. This is one of the nine Masters events in tennis. Currently it is the Konta match I am watching, against Yastremska. And next week it is another Masters event in Cincinnati, Ohio (Ohio is my home state). If Konta were to win this tournament, it would give her good momentum going into the US Open in a few weeks. And by the way, this tournament is the only Masters series event in which the men and women play at two separate locations.

==On The Range==
Here in the States, Golf Channel is showing the Sky feed of "On The Range". It's a 90 minute live special that they are showing each Wednesday before the playoffs. Hopefully they will continue to have this every week throughout the season, not only during these playoffs. We'll see. And later this afternoon, immediately after the finish of this show, Fox Sports 1 will have coverage of the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship.

==MLS==
The English Premier League has a fan base here in the USA, as I have seen the TV ratings for it. It actually does a little better here than MLS does. But anyway, I was wondering, is MLS ever on TV in the UK? I can't see that it would be, but I could be wrong. Well, if it is, and if they show it live, this Sunday night at 3:30 AM UK time, the two Los Angeles teams play each other, maybe you can find it. ... I notice the AFL games on TV here in the middle of the night, every week. [[User:Johnsmith2116|Johnsmith2116]] ([[User talk:Johnsmith2116|talk]]) 05:15, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

::::The English Premier League television viewership appears to be thriving here in the USA. This past Saturday, the Liverpool/Tottenham game got 1,189,000 viewers around the USA. Even MLS (our own league) doesn't get that much viewership in the USA. I'd like to think that MLS gets decent viewership over there, but I'm guessing it doesn't, but that's okay.

I would have helped on the 2019 Walker Cup page, but for some reason it is not on TV here in the States. All we have is a 1 hour highlight show of it on Golf Channel tonight at 11:00 PM.

I'm not suggesting that 10 million people would watch it on TV here stateside, but I'm sure a few hundred thousand (such as myself) across the USA would like to be able to see it.

<div style="border:2px solid #90C0FF; background:#F0F0FF; width:99%; padding:4px">
[[File:Wikipedia New page reviewer.svg|right|120px]]
Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Backlog
Instead of reaching a magic '''300''' as it once did last year, the backlog approaching 6,000 is still far too high. An effort is also needed to ensure that older unsuitable older pages at the back of the queue do not get automatically indexed for Google.

;Coordinator
A proposal is taking place [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#Coordinator|'''here''']] to confirm a nominated user as Coordinator of NPR.

;This month's refresher course
''[[Wikipedia:Why I Hate Speedy Deleters|Why I Hate Speedy Deleters]]'', a 2008 essay by long since retired {{U|Ballonman}}, is still as valid today. Those of us who patrol large numbers of new pages can be forgiven for making the occasional mistake while others can learn from their 'beginner' errors. Worth reading.

;Deletion tags
Do bear in mind that articles in the feed showing the trash can icon (you will need to have 'Nominated for deletion' enabled for this in your filters) may have been tagged by inexperienced or non NPR rights holders using Twinkle. They require your further verification.

;Paid editing
Please be sure to look for the tell-tale signs of undisclosed paid editing. Contact the creator if appropriate, and submit the issue to [[WP:COIN]] if necessary. WMF policy requires paid editors to connect to their adverts.

;Subject-specific notability guidelines' (SNG). Alternatives to deletion
*Reviewers are requested to familiarise themselves once more with notability guidelines for [[WP:ORG|organisations and companies]].
*''Blank-and-Redirect'' is a solution anchored in policy. Please consider this alternative before PRODing or CSD. Note however, that users will often revert or usurp redirects to re-create deleted articles. Do regularly patrol the redirects in the feed.

;Not English
*A common issue: Pages not in English or poor, unattributed machine translations should not reside in main space even if they are stubs. Please ensure you are familiar with [[WP:NPPNE]]. Check in Google for the language and content, and if they do have potential, tag as required, then move to draft. Modify the text of the template as appropriate before sending it.

;Tools
Regular reviewers will appreciate the most recent enhancements to the New Pages Feed and features in the Curation tool, and there are still more to come. Due to the wealth of information now displayed by ORES, reviewers are strongly encouraged to use the system now rather than Twinkle; it will also correctly populate the logs.

Stub sorting, by SD0001: A new script is available for adding/removing stub tags. See [[User:SD0001/StubSorter.js]], It features a simple HotCat-style dynamic search field. Many of the reviewers who are using it are finding it an improvement upon other available tools.

Assessment: The script at [[User:Evad37/rater]] makes the addition of Wikiproject templates extremely easy. New page creators rarely do this. Reviewers are not obliged to make these edits but they only take a few seconds. They can use the Curation message system to let the creator know what they have done.

{{noping|DannyS712 bot III}} is now patrolling certain categories of uncontroversial redirects. Curious? Check out its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log?type=patrol&user=DannyS712+bot+III&page=&wpdate=&tagfilter=&subtype= patrol log].

== European circuit wins for Peter Townsend ==

Are we sure the Coca-Cola Young Professionals' Championship and Walworth Aloyco Tournament can be categorized as European circuit wins? With the Coca-Cola tournament it was limited to pro golfers under the age of 25 - not a lot. Also - and more importantly - it was not added to the European Tour schedule during its inaugural 1972 season (or any subsequent year). Lastly, Peter Oosterhuis' win is not placed under his "European circuit" label.

Secondly, I know nothing of the importance of the Walworth Aloyco Tournament. There is no Wikipedia page for it and there are no citations for Townsend's win or previous tournaments. From what I can tell it was only held from 1969-71.

:I think this sort of thing is something of a black art. Probably the two could be hived off into the other wins section. There were a few of these age restricted events at the time and they got a fair amount of coverage.

Translating it says "will now also be invited twelve continental professionals from the first in the Open championships that will be played in the twelve months prior to July 30, namely: Portugal, Spain, France, the Netherlands, West Germany, Switzerland, Italy (the Walworth-Aloyco tournament) and Scandinavia ..." Seems the Walworth-Aloyco was regarded as the equivalent of the Italian Open that year (the Italian Open was not played from 1961 to 1970) which would make it a fairly important event that year.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

This newsletter comes a little earlier than usual because the backlog is rising again and the holidays are coming very soon.
;Getting the queue to 0
There are now {{NUMBERINGROUP:patroller}} holders of the New Page Reviewer flag! Most of you requested the user right to be able to do something about the huge backlog but it's still roughly less than 10% doing 90% of the work. Now it's time for action. 
Exactly one year ago there were 'only' 3,650 unreviewed articles, now we will soon be approaching 7,000 despite the growing number of requests for the NPR user right. If ''each'' reviewer soon does '''only 2 reviews a day''' over five days, the backlog will be down to zero and the daily input can then be processed by ''every'' reviewer doing '''only 1 review every 2 days''' - that's only a few minutes work on the bus on the way to the office or to class! Let's get this over and done with in time to relax for the holidays. 
Want to join? Consider adding the [[Template:User NPP Pledge|'''NPP Pledge userbox''']]. 
Our next newsletter will announce the winners of some [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Coordination#Awards|'''really cool awards''']].
; Coordinator
Admin {{U|Barkeep49}} has been officially invested as [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Coordination#New_Page_Review_Coordinators|NPP/NPR coordinator]] by a unanimous consensus of the community. This is a complex role and he will need all the help he can get from other experienced reviewers.
;This month's refresher course
Paid editing is still causing headaches for even our most experienced reviewers: [[WP:LTA/OM|This official Wikipedia article]] will be an eye-opener to anyone who joined Wikipedia or obtained the NPR right since 2015. See [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Conflict_of_Interest_(COI),_paid_editing|The Hallmarks]] to know exactly what to look for and take time to examine all the sources.
;Tools
*It is now possible to select new pages by date range. This was requested by reviewers who want to patrol from the middle of the list.
*It is now also possible for accredited reviewers to put any article back into the New Pages Feed for re-review. The link is under 'Tools' in the side bar.
;Reviewer Feedback
Would you like feedback on your reviews? Are you an experienced reviewer who can give feedback to other reviewers? If so there are two new feedback pilot programs. [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/School#New Reviewer Mentorship|New Reviewer mentorship]] will match newer reviewers with an experienced reviewer with a new reviewer. The other program will be an occasional [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/School#Peer review cohort|peer review cohort]] for moderate or experienced reviewers to give feedback to each other. The first cohort will launch ''November 13''.
;Second set of eyes
*Not only are ''New Page Reviewers'' the guardians of quality of new articles, they are also in a position to ensure that pages are being correctly tagged for deletion and maintenance and that new authors are not being bitten. This is an important feature of your work, especially while some routine tagging for deletion can still be carried out by non NPR holders and inexperienced users. Read about it at the [[WP:NPP#Monitoring the system|'''Monitoring the system''']] section in the tutorial. If you come across such editors doing ''good'' work, don't hesitate to encourage them to apply for NPR.
*Do be sure to have [[WT:NPR|'''our talk page ''']] on your watchlist. There are often items that require reviewers' special attention, such as to watch out for pages by known socks or disruptive editors, technical issues and new developments, and of course to provide advice for other reviewers.
;Arbitration Committee
The annual ArbCom election will be coming up soon. All eligible users will be invited to vote. While not directly concerned with NPR, Arbcom cases often lead back to notability and deletion issues and/or actions by holders of advanced user rights.
;Community Wish list
There is to be no [[:meta:wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020|wish list]] for WMF encyclopedias this year. We thank Community Tech for their hard work addressing our long list of requirements which somewhat overwhelmed them last year, and we look forward to a successful completion.

== Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks! ==

Hello,

[[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|Google Code-In]], Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at [[:mw:Google Code-in/2019|the contest page]] and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

== Snooker Shoot Out 2011-2019 ==

Hi Nigej how are you ?. i see you have removed the hyphen from the Shoot Out homepage which i agree with. can you remove the hyphen from the tournament pages that took place between 2011 to 2019 please ?.This would make it the same as the hompage. regards [[Special:Contributions/31.200.168.241|31.200.168.241]] ([[User talk:31.200.168.241|talk]]) 15:43, 7 December 2019 (UTC)
:That would probably be incorrect. If the event had a hyphen in it when it took place it should retain the hyphen, otherwise we'd be rewriting history. I'm not yet clear to me which events had a hyphen in them. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 16:31, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

== 6 red world seniors ==

nigej can you explain to me why this event which is a variant event is colour coded like a normal 15 red seniors event ?. variant events like this and the main tour 6 reds event are always colour coded like all previous variants. this is nonsense. regards — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/92.251.199.24|92.251.199.24]] ([[User talk:92.251.199.24#top|talk]]) 22:48, 15 December 2019 (UTC) 
:The Snooker Shoot Out is treated as any other ranking event. 6-red events can be treated similarly. Treating a 6 red seniors event as both variant and senior is just making the thing overly complex. Anyway its a very minor event anyway. As to the fact that variant events "are always colour coded" ..., we can simply change the previous seasons too. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 22:57, 15 December 2019 (UTC)

The Shootout is a 15 red ranking event where century breaks and 147s count towards career totals. the 6 reds events cannot be treated similarly as they go to the variant events finals section. if you don't want two colours why can't you make it blue like the other 6 red variant played on the main tour ?.you say it is a minor event so why not use the variant colour being used for 10 years ? regards — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/92.251.199.24|92.251.199.24]] ([[User talk:92.251.199.24#top|talk]]) 23:19, 15 December 2019 (UTC) 
:Variant relates to "vary", ie they vary the rules: eg the shot clock, ball in hand for fouls, etc. So the Shoot Out is clearly a variant event. We should get rid of the VE in the table in my view. The fact that we've done something for the last 10 years is no good reason to keep going with that style, otherwise nothing could ever change. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 08:32, 16 December 2019 (UTC)

Okey, I can see that. Still I find it more logical to show prize money för each player. [[User:EEJB|EEJB]] ([[User talk:EEJB|talk]]) 21:36, 28 December 2019 (UTC)

;Reviewer of the Year
[[File:New page reviewer of the year cup.svg|right|200px]]
This year's Reviewer of the Year is {{noping|Rosguill}}. Having gotten the reviewer PERM in August 2018, they have been a regular reviewer of articles and redirects, been an active participant in the NPP community, and has been the driving force for the emerging NPP Source Guide that will help reviewers better evaluate sourcing and notability in many countries for which it has historically been difficult.

Special commendation again goes to {{noping|Onel5969}} who ends the year as one of our most prolific reviewers for the second consecutive year. Thanks also to {{noping| Boleyn}} and {{noping|JTtheOG}} who have been in the top 5 for the last two years as well.

Several newer editors have done a lot of work with [[User:CAPTAIN MEDUSA|CAPTAIN MEDUSA]] and [[User:DannyS712|DannyS712]] (who has also written bots which have patrolled thousands of redirects) being new reviewers since this time last year.

Thanks to them and to everyone reading this who has participated in New Page Patrol this year.

;Redirect autopatrol
A recent [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers/Redirect_autopatrol#RfC_on_autopatrolling_redirects|Request for Comment]] on creating a new redirect autopatrol pseduo-permission was [[WP:SNOW|closed early]]. New Page Reviewers are now able to [[Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist|nominate editors]] who have an established track record creating uncontroversial redirects. At the individual discretion of any administrator or after 24 hours and a consensus of at least 3 New Page Reviewers an editor may be added to a [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Redirect_whitelist#Editors_whose_redirects_are_whitelisted|list of users]] whose redirects will be patrolled automatically by {{noping|DannyS712 bot III}}.

;Source Guide Discussion
Set to launch early in the new year is our first [[WP:NPPSG|New Page Patrol Source Guide]] discussion. These discussions are designed to solicit input on sources in places and topic areas that might otherwise be harder for reviewers to evaluate. The hope is that this will allow us to improve the accuracy of our patrols for articles using these sources (and/or give us places to perform a [[WP:BEFORE]] prior to nominating for deletion). Please watch the [[WT:NPR|New Page Patrol talk page]] for more information.

;This month's refresher course
While New Page Reviewers are an experienced set of editors, we all benefit from an occasional review. This month consider refreshing yourself on [[Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features)]]. Also consider how we can take the time for quality in this area. For instance, sources to verify human settlements, which are presumed notable, can often be found in seconds. This lets us avoid the (ugly) 'Needs more refs' tag.

== ICL International ==

Hi. Are you sure about this addition [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=ICL_International&type=revision&diff=923258389&oldid=916443095], as lots of tournaments were called "international" at this time and the source doesn't mention ICL, plus other sources don't support the tournament ever being held at Houghton? [[Special:Contributions/51.6.161.113|51.6.161.113]] ([[User talk:51.6.161.113|talk]]) 14:51, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
:Not at all confident I would say. I did find this http://www.sunshinetour.info/profiles/profile.php?player=BAI001 (click on career highlights) This lists "ICL Transvaal International" in December 1976 (presumably the same event) which we are missing both in [[ICL International]] and in the [[Hugh Baiocchi]] article. Townsend's 1976 win was in January (https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=c5JAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=BaUMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1638%2C3110227) so this could plausibly be the ICL International. http://www.thegolfclub.co.za/hughbaiocchi.htm calls this event "Transvaal Open" which confuses the issue even more. The same article has him winning the 1974 ICL Transvaal Open which seems to be what we have as a [[Transvaal Open]] win at the end of 1973. Overall it seems to me possible that ICL sponsored the Transvaal Open in 1973/74 and at some point this turned into the [[ICL International]]. Combining the two events, we have Baiocchi (73/74), Baker (74/75), Townsend (75/76), Baiocchi (76/77), Player (77/78 see http://www.sunshinetour.info/profiles/profile.php?player=PLA004), Hayes (78/79) ... so exactly 1 event per season. Generally just more questions than answers I'm afraid. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 16:38, 13 January 2020 (UTC)
::You could be right, in which case the two articles ([[Transvaal Open]] & [[ICL International]]) may need to be merged if some solid references can be found. I'd ignore ''thegolfclub.co.za'' though, as it's a verbatim copy of a previous version of the article here.

And this [https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=349AAAAAIBAJ&sjid=7KQMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3128%2C2882636] confirms Baiocchi as the defending champion in 74.

==Matt Kuchar==
I am watching Golf Channel's coverage of the final round of the Singapore Open, and Kuchar is on the 16th hole. Apparently, Golf Channel's coverage is on a 1 hour delay. I am guessing that the tee times were moved up to avoid bad weather. But, whenever that happens, Golf channel is not nice enough to move up the time they show the action, they simply shho the coverage on a delay. I see that Kuchar won, which spoils the ending. I hope at least you guys in Europe got to see the coverage live. Here, Golf Channel had no excuse not to show it live, because in the middle of the night, all they were doing was showing a repeat of something from earlier anyway.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

;Source Guide Discussion
The first [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Source guide discussions/Ghana|NPP source guide]] discussion is now underway. It covers a wide range of sources in Ghana with the goal of providing more guidance to reviewers about sources they might see when reviewing pages. Hopefully, new page reviewers will join others interested in reliable sources and those with expertise in these sources to make the discussion a success.

;Redirects
New to NPP? Looking to try something a little different? Consider patrolling some redirects. Redirects are relatively easy to review, can be found easily through the [[Special:NewPagesFeed|New Pages Feed]]. You can find more information about how to patrol redirects at [[WP:RPATROL]].

;Discussions and Resources
*There is an [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(idea_lab)#Improving_new_article_edit_notice|ongoing discussion]] around changing notifications for new editors who attempt to write articles.
*A recent discussion of whether [[Michelin star|Michelin starred]] restraunts are notable was [[Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_284#RFC_on_Michelin_stars_as_a_reliable_source_for_notability_of_restaurants|archived without closure]].
*A [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol/Resources|resource page]] with links pertinent for reviewers was created this month.
*A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Increasing_the_scope_of_WP%3AG5_vis-a-vis_socking.|proposal]] to increase the scope of G5 was withdrawn.

;Refresher
[[WP:GEOLAND|Geographic regions, areas and places]] generally do not need [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] type sourcing. When evaluating whether an article meets this notability guideline please also consider whether it might actually be a form of [[WP:SPAM]] for a development project (e.g. PR for a large luxury residential development) and not actually covered by the guideline.

He is shown as withdrawn from the Players, but I am not sure if he teed off or not. Do you think we should leave the count at 144 players on the 2020 Players page?

== Al Besselink ==

I had or have a PGA Tour Media Guide (I have twice moved since this edit[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Al_Besselink&diff=449913124&oldid=449905706] that lists the Caracas Open as a win for Besselink. (We know the PGA Tour records are full of mistakes. George Archer's record for putts in a 1980 tournament has changed over the years. Media reports at the time say 94[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=W5pDAAAAIBAJ&sjid=t64MAAAAIBAJ&pg=3009,5795564&dq=94+putts+george+archer&hl=en], in 1989 it was reported as 94 too[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=KUsnAAAAIBAJ&sjid=yOEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=5661%2C4380476] but the last time I looked the PGA Tour has it as 95. Then there is the missing Billy Casper wins and playoff loss[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Golf#1969_Canadian_Open]. I think my point is made about the Tour and their crappy recordkeeping) It is actually a IC in the article till you and one other editor changed the totals and one of my pet peeves[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ahunt/Archive26#Thank_You] around here is the changing of something[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jane_Blalock&diff=712184018&oldid=712182554] that has a reference on it. I'd add the win into Besselink's box but I don't have the scores. Would you please do it? Thanks.[[User:WilliamJE|...William]], is the complaint department really on [[User talk:WilliamJE|the roof?]] 20:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
:I've changed it. I'm not 100% convinced really, https://www.pgatour.com/players/player.01084.al-besselink.html has just 1 win in 1957 not 2 and a total of 4. Official prize money is given there as $13,041 which is confirmed by newspaper reports at the end of 1957. Unclear whether this includes the $4,000 he got for winning in Caracas. He won $2,800 for winning the Kansas City Open, so perhaps would struggle to have got $13,041 without the $4,000. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 21:16, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Hi Nigej, I noticed that on [[Naomichi Ozaki]]'s page it mentioned that he featured in the top 50 of the OWGR, however his highest ranking is not present in his infobox. Would you be able to have a look at this? Thanks. [[User:Jimmymci234|Jimmymci234]] ([[User talk:Jimmymci234|talk]]) 17:34, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
:You're right. There are quite a few golfers from the early years of the OWGR who have their entries commented out in [[Template:Infobox_golfer/highest_ranking]]. Sometimes this because the highest ranking is uncertain; sometimes because it's felt that the ranking gives a false impression (eg Jack Nicklaus who's highest ranking would be 20, when clearly he was number one for many years before the OWGR was started). Naomichi Ozaki is one such. Happy to uncomment if you feel the high ranking (which says 34) is correct. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Ok fair enough, didn’t know that. That’s quite interesting actually. I don’t mind either way with Ozaki’s.

== continued trouble with citations... ==

Hi Nigej,

Thank you for your advice earlier with Google News Archives links. However it is not working for me. To refresh your memory here is what you wrote:

"Yes. Clicking on the article header (goes blue - generally) is not sufficient. You need to click on "link to article" (rhs) first, then click on the article header. You can then ctrl-C to copy it and ctrl-V to paste it into your article. Of course, sometimes the header doesn't go blue and you have to wander round finding something that does go blue. Nigej (talk) 06:16, 16 October 2020 (UTC)"

Where do I find the "Link to article" button? And what does "rhs" mean?

My apologies for this continued trouble. Any help would be great.

Hi Nigej,

Maybe you would like to reconsider the article [[Tom Morris Golf Shop]] as being "pure advertising"

== 1966 Endagine Open ==

To report the success of [[Martin Roesink]] at the 1966 [[Engadine Open]] I used a citation from the event's wiki page. ''The Glasgow Herald'' article is a bit blurry though.

== Kenji Hosoishi ==

Hi Nigej,

I just created a page for Japanese golfer [[Kenji Hosoishi]]. I was able to find a lot of stuff for his play on the Asian circuit but nothing for Japan. I was wondering if you had anything.

Thanks,
[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 23:21, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:Found very little. Note that he was sometimes called Hosoichi in the press. See https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=wG0xAAAAIBAJ&sjid=G2wDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2263%2C2322980 and https://www.newspapers.com/clip/64576813/honolulu-star-bulletin/ for a little about his Japan Open win. https://hicbc.com/special/crowns/new/history/timeline/1960-1969/cup04/ has plenty of detail about his 1963 crown win, but it's in Japanese. My automatic translation comes up with "Sazareishi" sometimes instead of "Hosoishi" sometimes. Seems it was played on April 25 and 26 but that hasn't helped me find anything else.

:: Well what you found was very helpful. Not easy to find English-language reports of Japanese golf events. Thank you very much.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

[[File:NPP 2020 Chart.png|800px|A chart of the 2020 New Page Patrol Queue]]

;Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by {{noping|Rosguill}} who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to {{noping|JTtheOG}} and {{noping|Onel5969}} who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to {{noping|John B123}}, {{noping|Hughesdarren}}, and {{noping|Mccapra}} who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by {{noping|DannyS712}} which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Redirect whitelist|redirect whitelist]].

:It's no more a Mickey Mouse event than the snooker seniors events. You're right that the golf articles ought to be doing something similar.

== Seniors Masters Qualifying ==

Why did you remove the event without not just changing the title if you were not happy with it ?. World Seniors hold qualifying events like the old Masters Qualifying Event for all their event. So why didn't you just change the title ?. The winner of this qualifying event was Darren Morgan and as you can see it had a final, this was the way the qualifying was staged this year due to covid. [[Special:Contributions/92.251.209.218|92.251.209.218]] ([[User talk:92.251.209.218|talk]]) 20:55, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
:1) I thought you were the one who was so keen on having the official name - see "The Masters" discussion, etc. 2) There are 4 events going on, what's the point in adding just one 3) Basically they're very unimportant. We can do without them in this list. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 20:59, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

It is important to have them as they are qualifying events like the Masters Qualifying Event. They reason the others were not added is because there was more than one qualifier the Seniors UK had 4 and the World Seniors Championship had 2 places available so no finals took place. This event was played to a finish that is why it is included here. As regarding The Masters we all know that is the official title but if I have to wait 1 year, 2 years or 5 years I will see the proper title added in the end.

My comment under my edit reverting your edit in [[List of United States federal executive orders]] did make sense. You removed the total number of Executive Orders from the Joe Biden section, which you shouldn't have done. I merely reverted your edit, re-instating the table. In the future, please don't revert mine or others' edits, and re-do the changes that ''don't'' remove the number of Executive Orders from any section.

::{{Reply to|Nigej}} I had a good reason. You removed the total E.O. count for Joe Biden, and somehow claimed that the count shouldn't be updated for him until the end of 2021. The entire point of that article is to be an up-to-date representation of the total amount of Executive Orders that have been issued by U.S. presidents, including presidents that are currently in office. Removing the total number of E.O.'s, even if the current sitting president hasn't been in office for long, is counterproductive to the goal of that article. I'm sorry for reverting the edits of yours that removed unnecessary reference tags & the "grand total as of" section under the Obama section; at the time I forgot to check all four edits. For that I'm sorry. I should've checked the edits and only reverted the one that modified the table for Biden's E.O. count. But you could've removed the reference tags via a new edit as well instead of reverting all my edits and having to re-do the table again. That more than likely wasted a bit of your time. And I don't intend this to come off as rude at all, if it somehow does I apologize. - [[User:KamranMackey|Kamran Mackey]] ([[User_talk:KamranMackey|talk to me]] · [[Special:Contributions/KamranMackey|my contributions]]) 16:49, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

== Ray Hore ==

Hi there,

I just created a page for this man. He won the 1974 [[South Australian Open]] and I found a good amount for that. However, there is nothing for the next three years... it's as if he disappeared. I found some stuff from the late 1970s and early 1980s but not a lot. Not sure if you could help out.

== 1982 Timex Open ==

According to the page of [[Lennie Clements]] he won the 1982 Timex Open (France). There is a citation from the 1991 PGA Tour media guide.

However, on the event's page ([[Timex Open]]) it says Gery Watine won the event. Could Clements have won another Timex Open?

[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 03:33, 2 February 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:Tough one. Very little coverage in the English language newspapers. There is this: https://www.golfcourse-review.com/architect/619/gery-watine which does say that Watine won it. However, it seems certain that it was actually Clements. see: https://www.facebook.com/138565016156967/posts/memory-lane-from-the-french-pga-tour-kim-swan-places-9th-in-1982-timex-open-in-f/2904216339591807/ which clearly says it was Clements with Barry Jaeckel second. Seems to imply it was played the same week as the [[Bob Hope British Classic]], end of September.

It should be in his infobox. He did turn pro before 1986 but his peak is definitely during the OWGR era. His career year was in 1987 (6 wins in Japan). Looks like his peak was [http://www.owgr.com/archive/PastRankings/1988/owgr20f1988.pdf this week] in 1988.

:: Thank you for the change. Yes, obviously there are quite a few of these "straddlers" whose real peak would've been before 1986.

:: In fact, I actually have more reservations about the peak rankings you included rather than excluded. Like for guys like [[Fuzzy Zoeller]] and [[Bruce Lietzke]] - I am very confident that their peak rankings would have been much earlier in their career. I just don't think their peak ranking should be there. There are a few other guys I think that are like this.

:::: I think you are being way too presumptuous by including Zoeller's ranking. I strongly suspect that he would have been ranked #11 or higher before 1986. No, he never made McCormack's top ten but, as you stated, McCormack only ranked golfers once a year. Overall, Zoeller had a stellar career before 1986; he won 7 PGA Tour events including two majors. He even could have reached #11 or higher during the 1986 season. He only peaked at #15 but keep in mind they only published the rankings a handful of times that year.

:::: So again, I just think you're being a bit presumptuous with this. I mean do you really think he reached his peak in 1995?

:::: In addition, there are a few other golfers like this (e.g. [[Christy O'Connor Jnr]]). I will bring them up in a more formal, systemic list sometime soon.

== peak OWGR issues... ==

I brought this up recently... here are two new golfers who probably didn't reach their peak post-1986.

* [[Christy O'Connor Jnr]]: In 1975 he won two events and finished a [https://www.europeantour.com/players/141/career-record?tour=european-tour career best 7th] on the European Tour Order of Merit. He did have a late career resurgence but I think it's at least doubtful that he reached his peak in 1990.

* [[Mike Clayton (golfer)]]: Looks like he had his [https://www.europeantour.com/players/37/career-record?tour=european-tour career year in 1984]. He won his only ET event that year and also won the Tasmanian Open and his only AGC event in 1984. He also recorded a second place finish on the European Tour that year, one of only two he ever recorded on tour. Finished #18 on ET's Order of Merit, only time in top 30. In my opinion, no way should his 1995 peak be up there.

Once again, thank you for your hard work creating a peak OWGR category but there are few other anomalous figures like this. Sometime later in the year I will go over them systemically and show them to you. These are ones I just happened to come across recently...

[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 02:51, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:I've commented those two out. The downside is that it now looks like they never made the top 100. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 09:04, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

:: True but nonetheless this is an encyclopedia - we need to ''know'', not speculate. Basically, with this issue, there must be an "arbitrary" demarcation line at some point. If we used the McCormack rankings, which start at 1968, then perhaps we would be able to give peak rankings to all these 1970s pros but then the 1950s pros would be excluded. It is a fundamentally imperfect scenario. The year 1986 happens to be our "arbitrary" cut-off point; there isn't much we can do about it.

:: I just noticed another guy: [[Hugh Baiocchi]]. Baiocchi won the [https://www.europeantour.com/players/6/ Sunshine Tour's Order of Merit in 1974 and 1979] and finished second on ET's OoM in 1977. Meanwhile, all six of his ET wins were before 1986. Ten of his twelve Sunshine Tour wins before 1986. Basically, his peak would have been way before 1986 and probably much higher than we have listed (#54).

:: Overall, it is not necessarily a big deal for me that a certain's golfer peak would have been before 1986 and is stated as post-1986 (as long as these peaks are relatively close). For example, [[Mark Wiebe]] or [[Donnie Hammond]] may have peaked before or during 1986 but we don't really know. Still, their official peak is only a few years later. Rather, the big deal for me is the wide gap between their likely peak, before 1986, and their "official" post-1986 peak. With Zoeller and O'Connor, in particular, the difference between their actual peak and their "official" peak is probably a full 15 years. This strikes me as very misleading. Likewise, with Baiocchi it is about a ten years difference.

== Tuohy's relationship with Derrick Pillage ==

Not sure what you make of [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/131787811 this]...

In the first paragraph it says that [[Bob Tuohy]] is joining a group of golfers under the auspices of Derrick Pillage. Then in the last paragraph it says he is making arrangements for number of British golfers to play in South African that are under the auspecies of Pillage.

Basically, in the title of the article and first paragraph it seems to imply that Tuohy is working with Pillage as a client (as are Barnes, Gallagher, and Job). But then later it seems to say that he is an employee for Pillage as sort of a middle man between Pillage and the British golfers. I just wasn't sure how to characterize this and was somewhat vague about it on his page.

== Mike Ferguson question ==

I know it sounds trivia-ish but I have had this nagging question about [[Mike Ferguson (golfer)]]. It's been on my mind for months. When I created his page I found a detail that says [[Stewart Ginn]] is his brother-in-law. It is [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/130829186 this article] about the 1982 [[Gold Coast Classic]]. It is in the second-to-last paragraph.

I believe the author may be confusing Ginn with the similarly named [[Payne Stewart]] who married Tracey Ferguson, Ferguson's sister. (Incidentally, Payne Stewart wins this event.)

Not sure if you have any info... it has just been nagging on my mind for a long time.

[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 22:44, 1 April 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly
:I think you must be right. See eg https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RiRVAAAAIBAJ&pg=2158%2C656091 (3 days after your ref) which talks about his brother-in-law Payne Stewart. I suppose another of Ferguson's sisters could have married Stewart Ginn but it all seems incredibly unlikely. [[User:Nigej|Nigej]] ([[User talk:Nigej#top|talk]]) 06:18, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

:: Yes, I thought it was a bit far-fetched that two of his sisters married professional golfers with similar names. Also, In my hours of research on Ferguson this is the only reference of him being brother-in-laws with Ginn. They are almost certainly confusing the two Stewarts - these papers make little mistakes like this all the time.

:: Anyway thank you for your response. I just deleted the information from Mike Ferguson's page.

I recently subscribed to this website for the first time. I was wondering what exactly the rules were for citing stuff from it. For example, under the page of [[Stuart Reese]] I "clipped" the small articles and included the actual headline in the citation title but for the longer ones I just copied and pasted. Basically, is "clipping" the proper etiquette here or can we just copy and paste?

(Full disclosure: I added the non-locked citation so the reader could actually see the original source.) Do you know why?

== Steve Oppermann's amateur career ==

Hi Nigej,

I was looking to see if you could complete some information pertaining to [[Steve Oppermann]]'s amateur career. I obviously found a lot but am missing two details. They are:

* His performance at the qualifying stage of the [[1960 U.S. Open (golf)]]. I have evidence that he played in [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76896799/nine-locals-in-us-open-qualifying/ local qualifying] but I don't know how far he advanced.

* I wasn't able to ascertain information about his play at the 1963 U.S. Amateur. I know [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/76973530/amateurs-topped-by-opperman/ he qualified] but I am unaware of his performance. I have a link [https://www.newspapers.com/image/376378376/?terms=u.s.%20amateur&match=1 here] that goes over the first round results but I could not find his name. A bit mysterious...

Thanks,
[[User:Oogglywoogly|Oogglywoogly]] ([[User talk:Oogglywoogly|talk]]) 16:08, 12 May 2021 (UTC)Oogglywoogly

1) I can't find his scores, although he is not among the 12 qualifiers. Seems this was local qualifying and the 12 moved on to sectional qualifying to try to make the main event. 2) The list must be incomplete.

Did this event take place? I have a link [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/110762337 here] that seems to suggest that the inaugural event was in 1974. However, on the wiki page for the [[South Coast Open]] it says the event began in 1975. In addition, although in the article the course information and date is consistent with the other events, it doesn't explicitly state [[South Coast Open]] in the text.

I am beginning to put together a new article for the New Course at St Andrews. However I would like your opinion as to what to name it. "[[New Course]]" is already in use. Therefore in my opinion I have two options:

# '''New Course at St Andrews''', which is consistent with the '''[[Old Course at St Andrews]]''', ''or''
# '''New Course, St Andrews''' (as per naming conventions), in which case to be consistent I would then also need consensus to rename the '''Old Course at St Andrews''' to '''Old Course, St Andrews'''.

:::Had a look at 1985. Of the top 125 from 1984 (https://www.pgatour.com/content/pgatour/stats/stat.109.y1984.html) seems [[Mark Lye]] and [[Gary Player]] were missing from the field.

== a question about clipping ==

I have a question about clipping from newspapers.com.

So I use a lot of articles from newspapers.com and usually "clip" them. However, I am unsure about the value of this method. Sometimes, I try to see the article from the perspective of someone who doesn't have newspapers.com (so I don't sign in). For example, go to [[1971 PGA Tour Qualifying School graduates]] and see citation #2. It is from an article from the ''Orlando Sentinel'''s Jim Warters. It doesn't seem like a non-user can really read this article. It is too vague and distant; the non-user can't "Zoom in" or anything. But non-users will be able to read more compact articles [https://www.newspapers.com/image/567222448/?terms=charlie%20bolling&match=1 like] this.

Basically, I am wondering if it is worth it to "clip" the longer articles. Before I was a newspapers.com user I thought it was valuable that I could read these clipped articles (the short ones that I could actually read). I could get real evidence about this particular event. But if a non-user can't even read these lengthy-written articles I don't see the point. As far as I can tell, a non-user can't "Zoom in" for the big articles.

Any help would be much appreciated.

:: I don't think so. For us subscribers, there is the "+" button where we can zoom in. For non-subscribers, from what I can tell, they can't. I think for the shorter articles I'm going to continue to clip but for the longer ones probably not.

Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}},

Please join [[Wikipedia_talk:New_pages_patrol/Reviewers#AFC_reviewer_Olaf_Kosinsky|''this discussion'']] - there is increase in the abuse of Wikipedia and its processes by POV pushers, Paid Editors, and by holders of various user rights including [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled|Autopatrolled]]. Even our review systems themselves at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation|AfC]] and [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|NPR]] have been infiltrated. The good news is that detection is improving, but the downside is that it creates the need for a huge clean up - which of course adds to backlogs.

[[WP:COPYVIO|Copyright violations]] are also a serious issue. Most non-regular contributors do not understand why, and most of our Reviewers are not experts on copyright law - and can't be expected to be, but there is excellent, easy-to-follow advice on COPYVIO detection [[Wikipedia:New_pages_patrol#Copyright_violations_(WP:COPYVIO)|'''here''']].

At the time of the last newsletter (#25, December 2020) the backlog was only just over 2,000 articles. New Page Review is an official system. It's the only firewall against the inclusion of new, improper pages.

There are currently '''706''' New Page Reviewers plus a further 1,080 admins, but as much as nearly 90% of the patrolling is still being done by around only the 20 or so most regular patrollers.

If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be part of the New Page Reviewer user group, please consider asking any admin to remove you from the list. This will enable NPP to have a better overview of its performance and what improvements need to be made to the process or its software.

== adding amount of weeks at #2 ==

Hey,

I just thinking we should add the amount of weeks golfers spent at #2 in the world if they peaked at that number. As you know, we do this for golfers who peaked at #1. I think it is important as a number of great golfers (an extreme example being [[Phil Mickelson]]) have spent a number of weeks stuck at #2. I think adding the weeks gives a good idea of how good of a number #2 they were.

However, I don't think we should expand this beyond #2. If some golfer spent a number of weeks stuck at #16 or something it is obviously irrelevant. But it seems to me that #2 is unique; as many golfers may have been good enough for #1 in other time periods but were stuck behind a legendary golfer (e.g. Tiger Woods).

In addition, we have a list which is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_male_golfers_who_have_been_in_the_world_top_10#Number_two_in_the_rankings_but_never_number_one.

:: Hmmm... up above is our Wiki list. Perhaps you mean a reliable third-party reference, though? If so, I have some details below...

:: Phil Mickelson's stature at #2 has received a wide level of attention. For example see [https://www.golfmonthly.com/news/tour-news/incredible-phil-mickelson-world-ranking-statistic-169646 here] and [https://www.sportscasting.com/phil-mickelson-spent-more-than-27-years-top-100-world-rankings-never-reached-number-1/ here] and [https://progolfnow.com/2021/03/11/phil-mickelson-pga-tour-top-100-record/ here].

:: For the rest of the guys, though, I must say that I found nothing. Perhaps we should just add the list of weeks for Mickelson, as he was such a dominant #2 and we have reliable third-party sources for it. What are your thoughts?

Hi thanks for the link i use snookerinfo.webs 100+ breaks myself. i know that is updated daily as is the live scoring on World Snooker live scores as you know. As long as it is done right and the figures are correct i don't mind to be honest. i have noticed lots of editors are on the ball here ie naming the exact frame and opponent when adding new century breaks.

== Great granddaughter thanks ==

Hi Nigej, thanks for adding all this wonderful information about my Great Grandfather!
Living so far away from home, it was lovely to come across this Wikipedia page full of so much information - a lot of which I never knew.
Fred's medals, some photos and more can be found hanging in The New Club in St Andrews. [[Special:Contributions/49.197.245.61|49.197.245.61]] ([[User talk:49.197.245.61|talk]]) 21:36, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

== Jamie Burnett has not made a maximum break in Snooker ==

Hi can I just say I noticed Burnett's page says he has made 1 maximum break he has not. He made a break of 148 which is a high break. He is not on the official list of maximum breaks made and this is an error. Can you remove this please ?.

My apologies I thought that 148 was added I error my mistake. I think it is a bad idea to get rid of the highest break that a player has made in his career. Firstly I think it is nice to know what breaks players have made that are not 147's. These are all listed on the WS website. Why did you want to remove them ?.

== Message to Betty Logan ==

Hello Betty. So that I can learn to not repeat the same mistakes when sourcing on Wikipedia, can you explain why the sources I included on the [[List of natural horror films]] page were not suitable? They were sourced from the same site as many other films on the page?
Thank you! — Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Elasmogal|Elasmogal]] ([[User talk:Elasmogal#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Elasmogal|contribs]]) 09:37, 11 March 2021 (UTC) 
:Allmovie is a credible source, but if you check some of the other entries you will see that Allmovie categorises them as "natural horror". In the case of ''The Shallows'' Allmovie classifies it as a "drama thriller" and ''The Meg'' as "sci-fi action".

It's Right Betty Logan that Indian Film Industry Is The Largest Film And Bollywood Sells For More Tickets Than Other Film Industry.But If You Including Bollywood.Then You Also Should Include Hollywood Because Hollywood Is That Film Industry Where American And Non American Both Works There And There Are Many Hollywood films which are not American Film. These May Be British Film,French Film,Italian Film As Well As Indian Films Also Produced There. So You Also Include Hollywood There. These Indians Changed His Name Film Industry In The Name Of Bollywood Where Only Indian Hindi Films Released. Bollywood Should Be Called As Indian Cinema. They named it under name as Hollywood. There is Bollywood Tollywood Kollywood Jollywood and Whatever Wood In India. Then It Means Other Two Films Under Category India Should Named Under Any ...Wood In Indian Industry [[User:Rizhbergs|Rizhbergs]] ([[User talk:Rizhbergs|talk]]) 05:31, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

{{ping|Lee Vilenski}} Lee, this evening I set about creating the next iteration of the Snooker World Ranking Points articles by creating [[Snooker world ranking points 2021/2022]]. My intention was to get this article up and running in the next day or so, as I have done every year for the last decade. Now it seems my work is no longer good enough! {{u|discospinster}} has twice moved the article to the draft space, wiping out a chunk of development work I had already completed but not saved! The sources would have been added over the next couple of days per the previous season's [[Snooker world ranking points 2020/2021]], and the one before it, going back to 2010. It is imperative to get this article up and running in the short season break. I am an editor with over a decade's worth of experience and I am not prepared to be regulated like a novice editor.

:::{{u|Discospinster}} is referring that as the article is completely uncited, there is no verifiability that any of what is written is true.

I'd also use [https://wst.tv/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/World-Ranking-List-after-2021-World-Champs.pdf] for the ranking list going into next season. There is an argument about this being [[WP:TOOSOON]], but considering the first ranking event starts in a month, I'd argue it's suitable.

It was a clearly provocative act by them to wipe out the work of a longstanding editor creating an annual edition of a long-standing article series. I was literally in the middle of adding citations when discospinster wiped out my work by moving the article. I added an "under construction" tag to the article to signify I was currently working on it but discospinster simply ignored it.

Hi, in your opinion, [https://www.boxofficemojo.com/releasegroup/gr834425349/?ref_=bo_tt_gr_1 this] is a mistake?

:It's likely that they started streaming it concurrently with the theatrical release. For example, films open at theaters in France on Wednesdays and on Thursdays in Germany (which match the streaming release dates). On the basis of that I don't think it is a mistake.

That gross could in theory just come from July 11th. As for the number of theaters this does seem to be a mistake, but that doesn't mean the gross is necessarily wrong. The worldwide gross is even higher at [https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Black-Widow-(2021)#tab=summary The Numbers]. We can't really declare it as a mistake unless we can prove it is a mistake.

== Killer whale ==
Hey there. So, killer whales are not properly whales. It's their popular name, but it's a misnomer; scientifically they're dolphins. The [[killer whale|Wiki page about them]] explicitly states it right at the beginning. The so-called (in English) "killer whales" are [[oceanic dolphin|Delphinidae]], whereas [[whales]] are not. This said, maybe the best way to go at it is to rename that section "Cetaceans"? So we can also include Moby Dick, for instance? (Not sure that qualifies as natural horror, though). There might be some other natural horror film about Delphinidae (''[[The Day of the Dolphin]]''?), but probably not too many to warrant a category. --[[User:Kumagoro-42|Kumagoro-42]] ([[User talk:Kumagoro-42|talk]]) 22:19, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

The problem with misnomers is that they do tend to be "corrected" over time, so a grouping for whales and dolphins might be a good idea. And per your point about ''Godzilla'': the creature is no more a dinosaur than Pegasus is a horse i.e. they are mythical creatures. If ''Godzilla'' qualifies as natural horror through its allegorical interpretation, then it probably belongs in the "Misc" section.

== Runners-up finishes being removed from Snooker players profiles ==

Hi Betty how are you ?. I have noticed recently a few individuals have decided to start removing the number of Runners-up finishes from the players career finals section ie ranking events, non-ranking events and minor ranking events. For example they are now listed like this. The headline reads like this. Ranking finals: 37 (19 titles), non-raning finals: 44 (27 titles) , Minor-Ranking finals 7 (3 titles). This still list all the finals including runners-up but do not include the figure at the top. It makes no sense .When I view a page I want to know exactly how many finals a player has won and how many they have been a Runner-up in. I should not have to start counting in my head how many they have lost. The old way was better. Please give me your thoughts please ?. They would be greatly appreciated here.

Hi Betty, I hope you're keeping well. I just dropped back into WP to check on something, and saw the [[James Bond (literary character)]] article has become a bit of a mess in the last few years. I tried to tidy it up a bit, which included removing unsourced information, changing US punctuation to UK and trimming out some really nonsensical rubbish (the IB has "significant others" as "Bond girls", for crying out loud! If they don't have a name, how can they be "significant" for goodness sake), as well as taking out quite a lot of OR and fancruft and a floating, largely pointless quote box that is out of place and context. I've been reverted (twice now) by {{u|Lobo151}} with a rather dubious rationale that doesn't deal with any of the problems I've outlined, and re-introduces all the same problems as were there before. I really don't care enough about the niceties to get involved in protracted talk page discussions about having to maintain adequate standards for GAs, but perhaps you could cast an eye over the changes and provide any thoughts you may have. Cheers SchroCat (editing from [[Special:Contributions/2A00:23C7:2B86:9800:381A:9440:A51D:1FA8|2A00:23C7:2B86:9800:381A:9440:A51D:1FA8]] ([[User talk:2A00:23C7:2B86:9800:381A:9440:A51D:1FA8|talk]]) 18:32, 22 September 2021 (UTC))

::Hi Schro, great to see you around! You have been missed. I've just taken a look at the edit and I think maybe (and perhaps understandably) Lobo slightly jumped the gun and reverted in good faith. The James Bond articles as you know get targeted a lot and even though I am not all that familiar with Lobo as an editor he does seem to be a force for good on them. I think what has happened here is that he's seen an IP remove a chunk of content and had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. If you look at the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_Bond_%28literary_character%29&type=revision&diff=1045791140&oldid=1044981047 diff] it is difficult to discern exactly what you've done. Obviously I don't doubt the integrity of these edits, I know the article is in safe hands, but Lobo may not be familiar with you as an editor. I notice you have restored your edits and Lobo has not reverted you this time so maybe he has taken a closer look at them? If he reverts again, let me know and we can sort it out on the talk page. It might helpful to let him know you are the editor who brought the article to GA status in the first place.

:::Hi Betty, I'm only passing through, rather than returning. Every time I've edited as an IP I see a harder and harder line against any IP editors, and the idea of 'the encyclopaedia anyone can edit' seems to be dying by inches, which is a shame. I struggle to recognise the place nowadays, but life is much less stressful as a result! I'm on the talk page there now, as a few CN tags were removed without anything being done to sort the problem, but hopefully we'll be able to sort that one out quickly.

Hi Betty, I hope you're keeping well. I was trying to remove the 1954 Casino Royale from the table at [[List of recurring characters in the James Bond film series]], but am struggling with some of the rowspan/colspan settings, and whenever I've tried to remove it, it breaks the formatting of the rest of the table (it moves people out of the right cells into the wrong roles).

I have undone the edit. I assume SC asked you to do that edit for the same reason they asked me to undo the name change of [[Casino Royale (1954 film)]]: [[User_talk:SilkTork#Page_move]], under the belief that the 1954 Casino Royale is not a film. However, it is a film, as pointed out in the article it was recorded on [[Kinescope]], and has been released as such by MGM, who bought the rights. The film is regarded as part of the James Bond canon, as indicated on fansites, such as [https://jamesbond.fandom.com/wiki/Casino_Royale_(1954_TV) jamesbond.fandom.com], and [https://www.universalexports.net/Movies/royale54.shtml universalexports.net], etc. I understand the thinking that the original episode was live tv drama, but as a film of that drama turned up in 1981, and has been available publicly on DVD since 2003, it is now regarded as a film, and so needs to be included in [[List of recurring characters in the James Bond film series]]. [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]] ([[User talk:SilkTork|talk]]) 09:58, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

‎It is a tv episode, not a film. The change of the article name( witout a discussion) doesn't change that. Also the given reasons are not making it a film.[[User:Lobo151|Lobo151]] ([[User talk:Lobo151|talk]]) 10:42, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

*Hi {{u|SilkTork}}, I'm not sure it's right to say it's a film (it was only ever known as a television production, and not even a "TV movie"). When MGM have released it on their DVDs, it's always been as an extra. Yes, it was on Kinescope, but that's because the format was the only way to preserve live tv broadcasts at the time. There was a discussion years ago on the Bond Project that agreed it was a TV programme ([[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_James_Bond/Archive_3#Is_Casino_Royale_(1954)_a_film?|13 years ago and only 3 people taking part]]) which is possibly the only discussion (although I thought I'd been involved in others, although I can't find them now). Certainly the other Bond pages we have all refer to this as a TV programme rather than a film (eg [[James_Bond#Adaptations]] or [[Template:James Bond films]]) or ignore it entirely from the page if it is focused on the films alone ([[List of James Bond films]], [[Wikipedia:Featured topics/James Bond films]], etc).

In one of the movies, for example, the international box office has not increased since three weeks. [[User:Surge elec|Surge_Elec]] ([[User talk:Surge elec|talk]]) 09:12, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
:Near the end of a run Box Office Mojo doesn't always update the box-office total on a weekly basis, but usually the international charts are still updated. For example, ''F9'' was still playing last weekend in New Zealand and a couple of other countries: [https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1325499137/weekend/]. It might well have close this weekend, but it won't be obvious until later this week when this weekend's charts are updated.

The '''Australian Professional Championship''' was a professional [[snooker]] tournament which was open only for Australian or Australian-based players.

==History==
From 1963 to 1974 the Australian Professional Championship was held on a challenge basis and dominated by [[Eddie Charlton]] who won ten times in that period. It became a knockout tournament in 1975. It was then not held until 1984 when the [[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association|WPBSA]] offered a subsidy of £1,000 per man to any country holding a national professional championship. This subsidy ended in [[Snooker season 1988/1989|1988/1989]] after which date most national championships were discontinued.

Eddie Charlton won the tournament on a record 20 occasions.

The '''Australian Professional Championship''' was a professional [[snooker]] tournament which was open only for Australian or Australian-based players.

==History==
From 1963 to 1974 the Australian Professional Championship was held on a challenge basis and dominated by [[Eddie Charlton]] who won ten times in that period. There was no event in 1975 and it became a knockout tournament in 1977 and again in 1978. It was then not held until 1984 when the [[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association|WPBSA]] offered a subsidy of £1,000 per man to any country holding a national professional championship. This subsidy ended in [[Snooker season 1988/1989|1988/1989]] after which date most national championships were discontinued.

Eddie Charlton won the tournament on a record 20 occasions.

'''Terence Martin Griffiths''', {{post-nominals|country=GBR|size=100%|OBE}} (born 16 October 1947) is a retired Welsh professional [[snooker]] player and current snooker coach and pundit. In his second professional tournament, he became world champion when he won the [[1979 World Snooker Championship]]. He was the second qualifier to win the title after [[Alex Higgins]] achieved the feat in 1972 only [[Shaun Murphy]] has done it since winning the title in 2005. Griffiths defeated [[Dennis Taylor]] by 24 {{cuegloss|frame|frames}} to 16 in the final. Nine years later, in [[1988 World Snooker Championship|1988]], Griffiths reached the final of the competition again. He was tied with [[Steve Davis]] at 8–8, but lost the match 11–18.

Griffiths reached at least the quarter-finals of the [[World Snooker Championship|World Championship]] for nine consecutive years from 1984 to 1992. He also won the [[Masters (snooker)|Masters]] in [[1980 Masters (snooker)|1980]] and the [[UK Championship]] in [[1982 UK Championship|1982]], making him one of the players to have completed snooker's [[Triple Crown (snooker)|Triple Crown]]. He was runner-up at the Masters three times, and reached the final of the [[1989 European Open]] where he lost the {{cuegloss|deciding frame}} to [[John Parrott]].

Although he also won several other tournaments, Griffiths' determination to match his rival Davis led to him making changes in his playing technique that commentators have claimed meant that he lost his natural flair for playing. He announced his retirement from professional snooker in 1996 to become the [[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association]]'s director of coaching, and developed a coaching career that has included working with leading players including [[Stephen Hendry]], [[Mark Williams (snooker player)|Mark Williams]] and [[Ding Junhui]].

when Detective Garda Ben O'Sullivan noticed a [[Mitsubishi Pajero|Pajero]] heading towards them from behind. The car collided with them. Two men wearing [[Balaclava (clothing)|balaclava]]s jumped out of the Pajero, and fired 15 rounds from an [[AK-47]] at the detectives. Three rounds hit Jerry McCabe, killing him. His colleague, O'Sullivan was seriously injured, having been hit 11 times. One bullet strayed and lodged in the Garda patrol car, a [[Ford Mondeo]]. They were fired on full automatic by the gunman. Detective O'Sullivan, who was driving the car, has said that he is convinced it was deliberate, controlled shooting.<ref name="The turbulent ghost of Jerry McCabe">[http://archives.tcm.ie/businesspost/2006/06/11/story14855.asp "The turbulent ghost of Jerry McCabe"].

Shortly after the shooting, a [[Mitsubishi Lancer]] arrived and the would-be robbers made their getaway in it. No money had been stolen by them, but both vehicles used at the crime scene had been stolen.

The Gardaí had been armed with .38 [[Smith & Wesson]] revolvers and an [[Uzi submachine gun|Uzi]], but the trial concluded that they had not had time to use them.

Bullet casings found at the scene were unique to the IRA in Ireland at the time.<ref>Mac Dermott, Diarmaid (12 January 1999), [http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/1999/01/12/ihead.htm "Garda McCabe shot three times as he escorted post office van"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051111204500/http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/1999/01/12/ihead.htm |date=11 November 2005 }}, ''[[The Irish Examiner]]''</ref><ref name="guardian">Mullin, John (12 June 1999), [https://www.theguardian.com/guardianpolitics/story/0,,321632,00.html "IRA fugitive 'killer police officer' in bungled raid"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210926183354/https://www.theguardian.com/politics/1999/jan/12/uk.politicalnews7 |date=26 September 2021 }}, ''[[The Guardian]]'' (London)</ref>

The killing of Detective McCabe happened four months after the breakdown of the first IRA ceasefire in 1996. The [[IRA Army Council]] initially denied involvement, but later claimed that individual members were involved "in contravention of its orders".
