Tennis profiles



It's not "crystal balling", all the information is taken from the live-tennis.eu website, a site updated daily with live rankings. It's also an official source for both the ATP World Tour Finals and the WTA Finals. So there is no predictions or guesswork. And now you just caused extra work because the ATP is too damn stupid to have heard of live updates and live-tennis is doing all the hard work for them. No surprise considering how horrid the ATP's writing staff is with multiple errors and typos every single week.

List of the busiest airports in Europe



As agreed from the beginning, European airports are defined as those that are within the airspace of the member and candidate states of The Council of Europe. (See discussion). Therefore, please don't delete any Canarian, Cypriot and Russian airports. Thank you.

Changes to ATP seasons pages


On what basis do you think that by enlarging the text it is better readable? - This results in a larger table size, which makes it more difficult to find information, withdrawing the bold of the winners of given tournaments makes it difficult to find them in the large table content. It was not conditioned through talk tage to make changes. Also, it makes a given ATP season not inconsistent with articles on Challengers or WTA tournaments, among others. Therefore, until the situation is clarified, I propose reverting to the previous versions. Otherwise it will be reported as WP:VANDALISM ↗. Gro456 (talk) 23:01 27 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Wolbo:

This month, February 2026, '''WikiProject Women in Green ↗''' is participating in the February 2026 GAN Backlog Drive ↗, in which we're aiming to review as many outstanding Good Article (GA) nominations about women and women's works as possible. If you want to help out, you can check out the project talk page ↗ for a list of nominations in need of review (including some WiG originals). If you haven't reviewed a GA nomination before, be sure to check out the reviewing instructions ↗ and guidelines ↗ and feel free to ask for a mentor ↗ to check your work.

We are also working together with a wikithon hosted on 5 February by Wikimedia UK, which will focus on writing and improving articles about women involved in sustainable development. If you want to join the event, feel free to sign up at the eventbrite page ↗; or if you would be interested in providing a 20-minute assessment and/or a full GA review of the submitted articles in the weeks following, put your name down on the project talk page ↗ for updates as the event progresses.

We hope to see you there!

ILTF World Circuit



Subject: Inconsistency in Tournament Circuit Naming (ILTF World Circuit)

I have noticed a series of edits you’ve made to tournament infoboxes (e.g., Central California Championships) where you are removing the term "World Circuit" and leaving only "ILTF" for the period of 1924–1972. I have restored back to "ILTF World Circuit"** to maintain historical accuracy and logical consistency.

1. Primary Source Verification
The Official Handbook of the International Lawn Tennis Federation 1967 (pp. 5–7 explicitly defines the executive body (the Committee of Management) as the authority governing the **"ILTF World Circuit."

This was the formal, administrative name used by the federation to describe the global collective of sanctioned tournaments. To reduce the "ILTF World Circuit" to just "ILTF" is to confuse the legislative body with the sporting product they managed.

2. The Role of the Committee of Management
As stated in the 1967 Handbook, the management of the Federation was strictly "vested in a Committee of Management." This body was the literal "engine room" of the sport, and their primary function was the **sanctioning of the World Circuit**. Their authority included:

3.Calendar Control: The Committee met multiple times a year to approve every tournament date on the global schedule to ensure a cohesive, non-conflicting "World Circuit."

4.Sanctioning Power: Any tournament not appearing in the "Official Calendar" approved by the Committee was not recognized; players competing in unsanctioned events faced immediate suspension from the Grand Slams and Davis Cup.

5. Universal Standards:The Committee enforced Rule 26 (Amateur Status) and ball/court specifications across all six continental sub-circuits, creating a unified global "Tour" decades before modern acronyms existed.

6. Logical Inconsistency
You have left "USNLTA Circuit" for the 1911–1923 era . It is logically inconsistent to acknowledge a "Circuit" when it was restricted to the United States, but then strip the "Circuit" designation once the ILTF took over global management in 1924.

Furthermore, you have retained ILTF Grand Prix Circuit for the 1971–72 men’s era. Since the Grand Prix was merely a branded subset of the existing ILTF World Circuit structure, it confirms that "Circuit" is the historically correct descriptor for these sanctioned seasons.

For example have documented the Womens 1969 season in great detail, which consisted of 291 sanctioned events across 6 continents—all functioning as a singular, unified global circuit under the Committee of Management. My edits to include the full circuit name are supported by these primary administrative records.

Please refrain from removing "World Circuit" from these entries, as doing so introduces a historical vagueness that contradicts the ILTF's own documentation. Navops47 (talk) 11:56, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

: {{u|Navops47}}, I largely disagree with the naming scheme as described above. Primary sources can be used (we do so frequently at the tennis project) but naming in Wikipedia articles should rely mainly on reliable secondary sources. It is telling that the above relies fully on a single (rather obscure) primary source. Your naming scheme is not commonly used in reliable secondary sources, certainly not as a capitalized noun (ITF World Circuit). See also WP:COMMONNAME ↗. Although this strictly concerns article titles the logic (use commonly recognizable names) applies here as well. Factually the tournaments sanctioned by the I(L)TF before the open era also lack many of the defining characteristics of current circuits and thus using a term like ITF World Circuit, or derivatives thereof, could be confusing to our readers, specifically if we use them adjacent to one another or in a sorted list. Please feel free to discuss this further on the tennis project page to get the views of other editors.--Wolbo (talk) 15:23, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Destubathon of the Americas ↗


You are invited to participate in the '''Destubathon of the Americas ↗''', a contest/editathon which will run from May 1 to May 31. The goal is to destub as many of our 475,000+ stubs for the Americas (from Alaska down to Chile) as possible. A good chance to have fun in expanding many of our old stale stubs and win up to £2000 ($2680) in Amazon vouchers for expanding stub articles. Sign up in the Contestants/participants section on the contest page if interested. Even if not interested in prizes you are still warmly welcome to participate in it as an editathon! Hopefully we can achieve something significant in the month of May together! ♦ <span style="font-variant:small-caps;color:#aba67e">''Dr. Blofeld''</span> 17:44, 15 April 2026 (UTC)

1968 German Open Championships ↗


Hi Wolbo,

I have been trying to get some order in the edition number of the German Championships. The first edition with an article on English Wikipedia is 1968, created by you in 2014. There, you specify this edition to be the 60th. I have been trying to find how you counted this. In this list: German Open (WTA) ↗ I count 1968 to be the 58th edition.

Admittedly, this happened twelve years ago. But perhaps you can shed some light on this matter.

Kind regards, Pommée (talk) 23:57, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
