message: Dear TennisExpert.  The comments were over a year old and irrelevant to this article.  Why, would you replace them?  I don't see any point in archiving unsigned and/or irrelevant comments, Do you? -- Mjquin_id (talk) 05:39, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have, and I understand it. Would this discussion be more appropriate on Von Cramm's page? I have been deleting a number of "unsigned" and "off-topic" discussions. Would "moving" the discussion to that page and referencing it here meet with your approval? It would seem coherent that people should look for an explanation there and not here. -- Mjquin_id (talk) 07:09, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Archiving 

message: These state that Budge has a 'stand alone' record for 14 consecutive tournament wins but the reference does not claim it to be an all time record and the Wikipedia article "All Time tennis records - men's singles" has Budge #4 on the list for this achievement - recommend remove this.  There is something though that appears lacking here - by the FO 1938 Budge had achieved the non-calendar Grand Slam.  While that was not something that got recognition until sometime later it is now considered a significant achievement and one that should be accorded to him as the first to achieve.

message: I posted this on Djokovic page.
I see a logical inconsistency here accros all wikipedia. It says Djokovic is not standing alone with his "non-calendar grand slam achievement", rather he shares it with Budge?  OK.
But if so, why isn't Budge listed as non-calendar grand slam winner in his own page?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Budge#Records
No sign of that there, it does not mention that he "shares non-calendar slam with Djokovic, in fact, there is no mention of non-calendar grand slam in Budge's page?
Why is non-calendar grand slam good achievement for Djokvovic to be credited with, but not good enough for Budge?
Also no mention that Budge has done/won non-calendar Grand Slam here, either?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Grand_Slam_men%27s_singles_champions#Non-calendar_year_Grand_Slam
No Budge. The way I see it, Budge is not credited for his non-calendar slam, since the non-calendar grand slam streak is partially part of his Grand Slam strewak and perhaps it's double counting. I get that, but then it menans Djokovic is the only one with a non-calendar grand slam? Why does it then say he shares it with Budge?
I have nothing for, or against, either Budge or Djokovic, it just that I am amazed that we can invoke non-calendar grand slam so arbitrarily accross wikiepdia, depending on mood and preferences.
So I ask, does Budge indeed has a non-calendar grand slam, or has that been abolished (absorbed) into his Grand Slam?
Based on that reply/decision you should do a clean up and editing accross all wikipedia on this issue to force a logical consistency.
Thank you.
