Talk:Lawn Tennis Association

message: I'm contesting the page move that was made a few weeks ago which changed the title of this article from "Lawn Tennis Association" to "LTA (organization)". I've changed the title back to the original stable version before the move. If you wish to request the move, please go through the RM process as it is potentially controversial (I may not be the only one who objects to it). WP:TITLEFORMAT asks us to avoid using ambiguous abbreviations/acronyms. The very fact that LTA has a disambiguation page shows that the acronym can be ambiguous! Just because the LTA have offically titled themselves "LTA" with no reference to their former title, the fact remains that the acronym LTA originated from "Lawn Tennis Association" which is the name that many people still use/recognise. WP:COMMONNAME indicates that the subject's "official" name should not necessarily be used as the article title, and it's generally preferable to use the name that is most commonly used. Also note: If the name were to be changed to the requested "LTA (organisation)" it should use the British English spelling of 'organisation' as LTA is a British institution. There should also be some reference to the fact that LTA stands for Lawn Tennis Association for those who might ask the question. If LTA is indeed identified as the common name and the page move were to go ahead, then the tennis assoc. would likely need to be singled out as the primary topic and the dab page altered to suit.

replies: text: The best way of explaining this is to think of "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" as the official name of the country, in the same way as "Kingdom of Spain" is the official name of Spain. Like in many other countries, the description part is often dropped, as is the case here. What is perhaps an anomaly is that it's called "Great Britain" and not "Great Britain and Northern Ireland". The best explanation I can offer for that is that it is done for the sake of brevity.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.109.113.47 (talk) 10:10, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Valentines Park

message: These two articles could easily be merged. Since the park is, mostly, the grounds of the mansion - I don't really see that there's much to say about one that couldn't also be said about the other, particularly in terms of their history. Currently, the mansion is a feature of the park and should be listed as such, alongside the boating pond, cricket ground etc. Both articles are currently tagged as stubs, so a merge would not result in too long an article by any stretch. --Paul Carpenter (talk) 07:30, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Wightman Cup

message: I wonder for the location in the match that instead of "Wimbledon" linking to the article Wimbledon, London, which is about the area of London, it should link to the specific venue the event was held at - ie the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Indeed the venue is very often simply referred to as "Wimbledon" (albeit not terribly accurately) Equally, and for the same reasons, instead of linking to the Forest Hills, Queens article, Forrest Hills in the location section could link to the actual venue the matches were played at, the historic Forest Hills Stadium (which redirects to West Side Tennis Club). I think this would be of more benefit in navigational terms than the current arrangement and would note the location details for matches held at  the Royal Albert Hall  and Crystal Palace link to specific sports venues rather than the areas of London these matches were held in.

"4. GROUNDSMAN'S BAD MARKS
Amelia Island, Florida 2002
'I flip-flopped the distances. It's supposed to be 21 feet from the net to the service line and then 18 feet to the baseline. I made it 18 and 21,' said an embarrassed groundsman at the Amelia Island Plantation. But Bert Evatt, who had been doing the job for 22 years, wasn't the only one who was embarrassed. Anne Kremer and Jennifer Hopkins, who played a first-round match in the prestigious Bausch & Lomb Championships on the wrongly measured Stadium Court, served a shaming 29 double faults. They complained to officials who discovered the mistake."

Talk:River Oaks International Tennis Tournament

message: I've erased "also bringing ATP points because WCT events were part of Grand Prix until the end of 1981" because it's confusing.
The WCT organization was created at the end of 1967 and the WCT circuit began in 1968 as an independent circuit. Since the beginning of the ATP ranking in 1973, WCT tournaments gave ATP points except the WCT Finals (which were the "Masters" of the circuit and the special WCT events (Challenge Cup, Aetna World Cup, ...)) otherwise Roy Emerson who mainly played the WCT circuit in 1973 (he didn't play any Slam tournament that year) wouldn't have been #12 in 1973 but perhaps #50 or #100 because he just played very few Grand Prix tournaments.
In 1978 the WCT circuit was incorporated into the Grand Prix circuit and then became again independent in 1982. Then for the first time the WCT tournaments didn't give any ATP points but they gave WCT points. In 1982 there were 2 computer rankings : the ATP one and the WCT one. The latter was fairer because it sort of calculate the "true" level "of the moment" of a player . When the ATP is published at one date, for instance on 08/20/2007, in reality this is the ranking of the previous year (from 08/21/2006 to 08/20/2007) and not the true level of the moment because it takes into account for example the performances at the U.S. Open 2006 which was held 11 months ago (so a long time ago). The WCT rankings in 1982 weighed each result by his oldness. More the tournament was ancient more the weighing was low. The weight for the result of the last week was 100%, for the previous week 98%, for two weeks before 96% and so on , the weight decreasing of 2% each week. Then 50 weeks before the weight of your result was equal to 2% and beyond all your results had a weight of 0% and therefore didn't count at all. It wasn't perfect but it gave a better idea of the true level of the moment than the ATP ranking did (and still do nowadays). Now a player can be well ranked though he hasn't done anything since 6 months but his previous performances have the same weight as his recent (and bad) results.
Moreover there were also a Grand Prix ranking in 1982 used to choose the 12 players for the Masters and a WCT ranking (an addition of points so it was different from the WCT computer ranking described before) also used for the "Masters of the WCT circuit", the WCT Finals.
Conclusion in 1982 there were 4 arithmetical rankings (plus all the annual rankings made by tennis specialists).
