Hi Lajbi,

Thanks for your attention to the new Oscar Wegner page. I understand your concerns about citations. I need help on the best way to correct the issues you have brought up. For example, in the quote by Bjorn Borg you marked it as [non-primary source needed][unreliable source?]. The source, which is a hand written document by Borg that includes his signature, is an original. How could that be "unreliable"? It was submitted to McGraw-Hill to verify Bjorn's statement and give his permission to use it in Oscar's book. Would it be better to use Oscar's book (a "published" source) as the citation source rather than listing a "letter" as the source for the quote"? The purpose of including the quote in this piece is to prove that Oscar worked with a world-class player and was effective in using his methodology to help him.

Hello Lajbi

Hello Lajbi

All the information I took for calculation of the year-to-date rankings, for the players outside the top30 commitment, is based on the following webpages: [1], [2] and [3]. The second site has always live ATP Rankings and also the "ATP Race", which is no longer official. If you noticed a difference between this ranking and the one which is provided by ATP (which I did not notice up to now), I guess you should stick with the ATP one. However, as the 2011 season progresses, players such as Raonic, which are better positioned in the ranking, will likely participate in additional Masters 1000 and Grand Slam tournaments, which will replace their the lowest ranked "countable events", and will bring the two different ways of counting the points to the same result. Regards, Cpfig

This is a notice to all users who currently have at least one open peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review. Because of the large number of peer review requests and relatively low number of reviewers, the backlog of PRs has been at 20 or more almost continually for several months. The backlog is for PR requests which have gone at least four days without comments, and some of these have gone two weeks or longer waiting for a review.

While we have been able to eventually review all PRs that remain on the backlog, something had to change. As a result of the discussion here, the consensus was that all users are now limited to one (1) open peer review request.

According to the expert who runs the site he double-checked "Lowes Lawn Tennis Annual" which is the source given for TennisForum 1931 database. That very reliable guide has it just as it is posted in TennisForum.com. Assuming that Hungarian periodical has it 100% correct, then Lowes is wrong. He doesn't speak Hungarian but two resident experts do and he's having them look it over to decide how to proceed with two opposing sets of data. That "worldwide tennis database" you talked about earlier also uses tennisforum.com to a great degree in getting it's info (just like espn) so they'll have to let him know of the discrepancy too. Unfortunately TennisForum is only as reliable as the reliable sources it uses. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:12, 18 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

I noticed you changed Hilde Krahwinkel Sperling to Hilde Krahwinkel in the 1931 article because she was not yet married at the time. While true I don't think that's the way we have been handling names at wikipedia. Helen Wills Moody comes to mind. In that one it was determined she would go by Helen Wills Moody on wikipedia and therefore in all articles Helen Wills Moody would be used... no Helen Wills even though half her victories came under that name. Wouldn't it be the same with Hilde? I don't think there's any written rule. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:19, 18 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

You might also join a task force – from your contributions it looks like you might be interested in the Sports and games one – and by a cooperation of dedicated users we can further develop the task force related articles, the task force itself and by so the whole WikiProject Hungary as well. If you have questions, ideas or thoughts you can add them on the talkpage of the proposal, here (I watchlist your talkpage) or you can contact me directly on my talk page.

Here is your comments and my reply comments on the DYK nomination for James Cameron.

•   First of all the introduction would also need at least one reference, since the DYK facts also appear in the very beginning of the article and Wikipedians read them there first. Duyckinck's National History Of The War For The Union, Civil, Military & Naval clearly supports the hook. Sizes meet critera and I didn't come across any copyvio within the hook. Maybe it's just me but I'd like to see which source footnote [14] refers to. But let it be the problem of a Good Article procedure. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 21:51, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Minor remarks that don't confront the readiness of the current DYK or possibly affect its outcome.

• I would consider adding an ALT1 hook telling the story of the coincidental death of a colonel in the 1810's with the same name who died in a regiment of the same numbering. It's interesting.
• When I did check the sources that would verify that second hook I found out that The Fallen brave attached to it as ref says nothing about that namesake comparaison.
• When I checked the second source the aforementioned National History Of The War For The Union, Civil, Military & Naval it backs up the story but it says our colonel was 52 years old, which contradicts the article, which claims he lived 61 years. Which one is correct? Are you sure you wanted to use only one page from these books? (The two single-page refs together appears at 9 different parts of the article, do they support them all? Haven't you missed some page number footnotes - just asking)

That's all, on the whole good work. Lajbi ^{Holla @ me • CP} 22:13, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

"The fallen brave" does say on page 78 that "...his death the exact counterpart of that of Colonel Cameron of the British 79th..." It does not give the first name of the British colonel. Neither does "National History..." which uses "Fallen Brave" as a source. That colonel's full name is actually given in the Wikipedia article Battle of Fuentes de Oñoro but, of course, we cannot cite that as a source. I have added a citation and reference to a book which does give his full name. There is a web site with his full name because it is offering for sale a print of a painting of his death, as well, but I did not think that would be a good citation. It is http://www.war-art.com/military_prints.php?ProdID=13478.

I was annoyed to discover that the tiny and almost imperceptible page numbers in the online copy of "The fallen brave" do not match the google book web page page numbers. So page 78 in the book, where the information on the British regiment and its colonel is found, is shown as page 84 on the web page. In the first citation of the book, and for the citation of this key page, I have provided a link to the web page where the correct book pages are found. I have left the book page numbers in the footnotes.

I had a footnote stating that the 52-year old reference was wrong in connection with the death date and age. I moved that to opposite the birth date and reference it again below. Most of the other sources give his date of birth and they agree on the 1800 date. (One says 1801, perhaps a typo.) I did something I never do to further support the date of birth and death: cite find a grave and provide the online link to it.

The nine facts can all be found on the one page in the Sauers article in the Heidler encyclopedia. The entire article on Cameron is on that one page. It is a big, oversized book. Similarly, the eight facts from the McDonald book are also all on the same page. I provided an online link for that page. The Sauers article also could be found as a preview in the Heidler book by searching James Cameron on google books. I thought with the additions that there are more than enough online citations now.

I deleted the footnote about the source stating James Cameron was a patron of the company at an earlier time. None of the other sources mention this and I probably should have just omitted it to begin with since it is apparently doubtful he had anything to do with a New York militia company before the war, even though they were mainly Scotsmen - and after all, he was not an immigrant himself.

I put two of the citations, one of them an online source, for the hook, which also appears in the lead as well as in the text, into the lead to avert any question being raised about lack of citation in the lead.

I agree that the two colonels with the same last names and same regiment numbers, one named after the other, is interesting. I am not sure about the story of Wade Hampton being the soldier who shot Cameron, however, despite its repetition in several contemporary sources. Hampton does not appear to have claimed this nor do later sources mention it or, if they do, mention it as undoubtedly true. There is enough to it and enough citations to leave it in the article, however.

Thanks for the review and for the tips which I used to improve and add to the citations and references. Donner60 (talk) 07:39, 1 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

While I was repeating the above on this page so you would see it, you were replying on the DYK nomination page! Thanks for the quick response. Donner60 (talk) 09:18, 1 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

On 16 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Siege of Mexico City, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that after winning the Siege of Mexico City in 1867, General Diaz personally released Hungarian Major János Csizmadia in return for the same favor during his prison time in Puebla two years before? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Siege of Mexico City. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
