Disambiguation link notification for June 7



Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of career achievements by Novak Djokovic ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Roland Garros ↗. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.</small>

::And yet you did it again at Nadal's article? Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:58, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
25px|alt=Warning icon ↗ Please stop. If you continue to vandalize ↗ Wikipedia, as you did at :Rafael Nadal career statistics ↗, you may be blocked from editing ↗. ''This has been pointed out to you multiple times. WikiProject Tennis performance timelines use integers. You can start a discussion at tennis project if you want changes and can garner consensus, but otherwise this is vandalism against longstanding consensus''<!-- Template:uw-vandalism3 --> Fyunck(click) (talk) 07:42, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

:Hold on. I took your advice and clicked on the link you provided and I looked through all the different available categories. There was a section on win-loss tables that said: “Only need 1 decimal place for all entries, except adding a 2nd decimal to resolve a tie for 3rd place”
:I didn’t “vandalize” Nadal’s page…I was trying to do the complete opposite. In a sport where the top players in history are separated by fractions of a percent, it’s really odd to insist on using whole numbers. Novak Djokovic has the highest career win rate in tennis‘ Open Era, at 83.31%…Rafael Nadal is 0.74% behind at 82.57%…but according to their Wikipedia pages, they both have the same career win rate, 83%. Another example is players’ win rates on each different surface. Nadal is the only man to have a win rate of 90% or higher, his 90.47% win rate on clay…but according to Carlos Alcaraz’s Wikipedia page, Nadal isn’t the only one, ‘cause Alcaraz also is at 90% on grass…except anyone who’s decent at mathematics could quickly see that a win-loss of 35-4 is below 90% since 36-4 is 90%. Alcaraz’s grass win rate is actually 89.74%.
:Every time someone from Wikipedia pointed out a mistake of mine over the years, I always took it seriously and made sure to not make that mistake again. just as I took your November 23rd message seriously and took the time to read up on the things listed in the link that you gave me. That was the first, and only time, anyone has told me anything about this issue…so no, I hadn’t been told multiple times.
:By the way, I clicked on the Vandalism link you provided and here are two excerpts from that page:
:“If it is clear that an editor is intending to improve Wikipedia, their edits are not vandalism, even if they violate some core policy of Wikipedia. Mislabeling good faith edits "vandalism" can be harmful, as it makes users less likely to respond to corrective advice or to engage collaboratively during a disagreement.”
:“Careful consideration may be required to differentiate between edits that are beneficial, edits that are detrimental but well-intentioned, and edits that are vandalism.”
:Even before I explained my specific intent, a person adding a decimal point to make percentages more precise can only be seen as intending to improve the Wikipedia page. Despite perusing WikiProject Tennis and its links for several hours, I never found a ”performance timeline guidelines”, nor a “career statistics guidelines”…so in the absence of didactic guidelines, I won’t be making anymore edits to any tennis players’ win rates/percentages on any of their Wikipedia pages. Shima808 (talk) 15:19, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
::The decimals are for side by side comparisons in some tables. The relevant section is Wikipedia:WikiProject Tennis/Article guidelines#Player performance timelines ↗. Sorry if it wasn't clear. We haven't had a problem on understanding this particular issue before so I apologize if we didn't make it clear enough. NO decimals, only whole numbers in this table. And multiple times now such as Nov 24 and on other articles, you have been told it is against Guidelines to add those decimals. Once you are told and you continue to violate the Guidelines it is vandalism. Vandalism doesn't just get thrown out the first or second times you mess up on protocol. That happens all the time and we simply correct it. But after repeated messages and edit summaries it does. The first time I assumed you tried to make improvements not knowing the guidelines. Now perhaps I messed up and there was another editor that was also doing the same thing over the last two weeks and I mixed up the two of you. If so I'm sorry. There was also an anon IP that was adding weird indoor/outdoor things to the performance tables. If you look, all the performance tables on player bios are the same (except for some older players that were never fixed). Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:46, 29 November 2025 (UTC)

Level of detail in posts



Hello, Shima808. I noticed that edits like this one ↗ have far too much detail for an encyclopedia article. Encyclopedias should include information that would be of interest to most readers ten years in the future. It's good practice to summarize only the most important facts. Also, content should be sourced to WP:RELIABLE ↗ sources, preferably with WP:INLINE ↗ citations. Best wishes to you. —<span style="font-family:Times New Roman;color:dark blue;">RCraig09 (talk)</span> 19:50, 29 March 2026 (UTC)

:Okay. Thank you for edifying me in such a civil and polite way, and I mean that genuinely. A lot of Wikipedia people have been very condescending over the years, so I just wanted to express my appreciation of your decorum. I will absolutely keep your tip in mind going forward. Aloha from Honolulu. 🤙🏽 Shima808 (talk) 06:33, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
:By the way, I went back and edited my original posting and cut out the majority of it and added citations. Just FYI. Shima808 (talk) 10:57, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
