message: Slight disagreement between the two following:
Place of birth Santa Clara, CA, USA
Home town Santa Carla, CA, USA
The first being a real place, and the second being what I believe to be the fictional town from the movie "Lost Boys".

message: It's her legal name, she's using it in competition, it's what they're calling her on TV...seems pretty straightforward. I'll move in a day or two if there are no objections. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 18:08, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: I also have no objections to the move, as Kerri Walsh-Jennings is her more common name. Darth Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 01:03, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hypen or no hyphen? News reports show it both ways. Her Facebook and Twitter accounts use Kerri Walsh without Jennings. 72Dino (talk) 01:10, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like no hyphen, actually. Good catch. I don't know anything about facebook or twitter, might those accounts have existed before her marriage? Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 03:49, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. Majority of sources I've searched show no hyphen. Also I'm going to be WP:BOLD and move it. Gateman1997 (talk) 05:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: It looks like the page was move protected shortly after the Beijing Olympics. Surely that's no longer necessary? I'll continue to look into this. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 00:17, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi Alicia,
In this version of the article, your edit appears to have a typo. I don't think there's such a thing as a "sand split" (except this one), so I suspect that
  "Walsh trained on the sand split between Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles, California, and..."
was intended to be:
  "Walsh trained on the sand spit between Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach in Los Angeles, California, and..."
Am I right? Is that what you meant?
  spit. n. A narrow point of land extending into a body of water.
The only problem is that when I look at the beach in Google Earth, there's no spit there. So I'm confused. What did you mean? NCdave (talk) 02:36, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the word "split" was a typo. I did not add it to the article. At the time in question I was doing a little re-write and I did not check carefully to see if the earlier writing had errors. In the edit you reference I just moved down previous content to a lower position on the page. The word was actually added to the article with this edit by IP editor 66.27.161.134 back in May 2012. I am sorry to say I do not know the area in question well, so I could not tell you if there is a spit between those beaches or not, nor do I have sourcing for the claim that she trained there. Maybe the author just meant a sandy area inbetween the two main beaches? Sorry it has taken me so long to respond! Thanks for helping to improve the page!!

message: Hi, 
I enjoyed reading this Wikipedia page on Kerri Walsh Jennings but had a few recommendations about the introduction and more. I feel like the first line of a Wikipedia page about an athlete should fully encase their success and abilities, and the first sentence of Walsh Jennings' Wikipedia page is very lackluster. Although being a professional American beach volleyball player is amazing in and of itself, I think it would also be important to mention in the first line that she is a three time Olympic Gold Medalist. I realize this is mentioned later on, but I also think it is important to put in the first sentence because when someone is looking her up, that is one of the first things they should know. I also noticed that no where did it mention that she is currently the career leader, ranked number one that is, in both career victories (133) and in career winnings (2,542,635), in the Beach Volleyball Database.  I think this is significant and current information that people would enjoy knowing about Walsh Jennings. This information would even fit well in the introduction and make it even more interesting. These are just a few suggestions I have for this already great page. Thanks. --JacquelynSkoch (talk) 22:14, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
