message: The portion of the article that attributes the poor record of the Milwaukee Brewers to having long road trips caught my eye. Is this the contributor's opinion, and if not could a source be provided?  Not saying that having to travel to the west coast often wouldn't be a factor, but likely the poor performance had more than one simplistic cause. 108.38.29.226 (talk) 20:39, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Total Grand Slam tournament wins 

message: McCauley opines that Hoad's win at Forest Hills TOC in 1959 was the "zenith" of his career. It was probably the greatest tournament win in his career, but McCauley was not aware of the Ampol world series of that year. McCauley believed that the Ampol series was a five-tournament event near the end of 1959 and including the first event of 1960. The Ampol series win was probably the real zenith of Hoad's career, so this judgment call by McCauley is not being made with a full set of facts. I recommend that this statement be removed. If no one objects, I will remove it.Tennisedu (talk) 12:56, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

message: Lots of good stuff in this articel but I think a number of Sedgman's records and Achievements are not mentioned or given relevant prominence.  For example:
- he won the triple crown twice, second only to Tilden for male players and only matched subsequently by one other (Neale Fraser)9;
- he is the only male player to win the triple crown in two different Grand Slam tournaments;
- his double and mixed doubles records are very significant and would be better highlighted if there was a performance timeline for each of these;
- at some stage he passed Tilden's 21 total GS (highest for a male) and held this record for some time (be useful to highlight this);
- he is the only male, matched by Tilden to win at least 5 GS tournaments in each discipline (noting various qualifications as to when this was possible). Antipodenz (talk) 06:52, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Nolanville, Texas

message: This article just increased about tenfold in size via the addition of a docudrama-like story about the history of the town.  The author who made this very large addition ADMITS in his editing notation that it constitutes original research.
While the rule may be somewhat controversial (and I'm a little torn about it myself) Wikipedia forbids original research.  If this history can be backed up with properly cited independent sources, it gets a lot better, and can be allowed in Wikipedia.
Furthermore, the new addition to this article reads like a novel (albeit a history based one) and not like an encyclopedia entry.  
It's a great read.  It really is.  It's also very well written.  Alas, it's not "encyclopedic", an essential requirement here.
Lets work on preserving as many of these interesting new facts as we can by rewriting the article in an encyclopedic way and citing independent sources. -Fish Man (talk) 22:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Tony Trabert

message: So now this issue has arisen about the Trabert/Gonzales outdoor match score for 1956. I contacted someone with access to Tennisbase plus the contemporary media, and here are the results: Trabert defeated Gonzales in head-to-head matches outdoor in 1956 by a score of 15-11: including 1-1 on grass, 5-5 on cement, and 9-5 on clay. That is one amazing result for a rookie pro against prime Gonzales. You do not often hear this statistic being broadcast around very much, can't imagine why. Of course, Gonzales held a large edge indoors on that portable carpet which the pros moved around to local gyms on the tour. A completely different surface, which the rookie pros were new to.Tennisedu (talk) 01:31, 23 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Dropped this paragraph:
:Another trick Cash did with success was visit the pitchers mound and take the ball from the pitcher,then with a baserunner on first Cash would return to his position at first base.When play resumed and the runner at first took his lead off the bag-Cash would tag him out,  the umpire called the runner out and Cash whips ball around infield as if business as usual.
This is dubious: the hidden ball trick very rarely works when tried by a first baseman because the runner and (especially) the first base coach are both trained to watch for this. If Cash really was an aficionado of the trick it needs some good sourcing. Ellsworth (talk) 01:55, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Dropped:
:Many observers have attributed some of the gaudy hitting statistics of 1961 to the league expansion that year, which resulted in a dilution of pitching talent. 
This has been debunked by Bill James and others. The increase in hitting in 1961 in the AL occurred because two new hitter-friendly parks came into the league. In games played in the other parks, there were fewer home runs hit and runs scored (per game). See Talk: Wrigley Field (Los Angeles) for discussion.

What is a good article?
A good article has the following attributes.
1. It is well written. 
2. It is factually accurate and verifiable. 
3. It is broad in its coverage, addressing all major aspects of the topic (this requirement is slightly weaker than the "comprehensiveness" required by WP:FAC, and allows shorter articles and broad overviews of large topics to be listed);.
4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

6. It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
