Talk:Records held by Roger Federer

message: Third bullet (currently) item under Grand Slam section: "Federer's victory at the 2004 U.S. Open marked the first time in the open era that anyone had won his first four Grand Slam singles finals."
What does this mean? This is very poorly worded. The best I can make out, it means that no one else in the open era had victories in each of their first four trips to a Grand Slam final match. Too much thinking is required to extract that meaning. Reading quickly, one might assume that the writer is referring to the age at which he achieved some feat, or perhaps that he won each of the first four Grand Slams that he entered.
I am not yet proposing a re-wording (though I will think about it), but I do believe this should be re-worded for clarity.
Also, a few items down begins "By reaching the singles semifinals at the 2007 Australian Open,..."  I think that the last sentence of this list item should be reworded to read "He subsequently extended this record to fourteen by reaching the semifinals in each of the 2007 French Open, Wimbledon, and U.S. Open.

message: I suggest a merger of this with the article on Awards. What do you think?--HJensen, talk 17:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fully agree, three articles (bio, records, awards) is a bit much, even for Federer Wolbo 18:36, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What would the new title be though? Records and awards won/held by Roger Federer? List of awards and records held by Roger Federer? Recirds and awards won by Roger Federer? A title that combines the two is really the only issue that I see here. --tennisman 16:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What about Records and awards of Roger Federer? :-) Pumukli 17:02, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How about... for the biography, just Roger Federer as it is, and merge the awards and records articles into "Accomplishments of..." or "Achievements of..."? It seems to me the records page actually is both records and notable achievements/comparisons. So the "Records held by...." title isn't really appropriate anymore. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 21:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Vague article name

message: This page needs serious organization. Random records, in no particular order, and typos and grammar mistakes. I can't find anything! Please work on clean up guys. I try to help from time to time, but with a page like this people just add any record they can think of, and many are not sourced, which also is a problem. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 05:45, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Chronological organization would be good. When he exactly set these records, and even by tournament. So the recent 2008 US Open should be last. This article is really a mess. GoldenGoose100 (talk) 05:50, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
