FLC

This page has been removed from the list of nominations at WP:FLC. Especially at this time when the number of reviewers is slow, it's important to try not to clog up FLC with multiple nominations of pages with similar scopes. Usually 2 at a time is OK, but if the subject is new, it is better to let one nomination go through the process and then applying any necessary changes to other before nominating those. As the FLC had no comments from reviewers, it is not necessary to record it in the article history. The page will be deleted so that when this page is brought back, the archive # is still "1".

Timing of the Australian Open

If you watch youtube and listen to the exhibition match between Connors and Laver in 1975 - which took place in Feb/Mar 1975, the commentators refer to the Match between Connors and Newcombe earlier in the year at the Australian Open ie January. Now it couldn't be a match in December 1975 because that hadn't happened yet. And it couldn't be December 1974 because Connors lost that Match to Newcombe but Connors is credited with winning the Autralian Open in 1974. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmartin prof (talk • contribs) 22:55, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Aus Opens were as follows:

• 1970 (January 1970)[1]
• 1971 (March 1971)[2]
• 1972 (26 December 1971 – ? January 1972)[3]
• 1973 (26 December 1972 – ? January 1973)[4]
• 1974 (26 December 1973 – ? January 1974)[5]
• 1975 (21 December 1974 – ? January 1975)[6]
• 1976 (26 December 1975 – ? January 1976)[7]
• 1977(J) (1 January 1977)[8]
• 1977(D) (19 December 1977)[9]

December each year after. Hopefully that clears things up. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 23:09, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

The date of the Australian Open credited relates to the date of the final. For instance, who was the winner of the Australian Open 1975? Universally people would say John Newcombe. The 1975 may have started first rounds on boxing day 1974 but it was the 1975 event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.86.174 (talk) 23:46, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Look up tennis history. Who was the winner of the 1974 Australian Open? Jimmy Connors. They don't say he was the winner of the 1973 Australian Open. Hence, if you want to say the event started in Dec the year before fine. But you need to make clear that the year the event is credited as being in is the date of the final. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tmartin prof (talk • contribs) 23:52, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

I have to apologize. I didn't realise that most of days of each tournament the Australian Open in those days was played in December - I thought the bulk of the tournament was in January. In 3 of those years the final was on January 1st. However, again I'd say it needs to be clear in the Wikipedia Article that the final was played in New Year. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.92.86.174 (talk) 05:08, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

2012 Finals?

Why is Djokovic listed as champion, the final started like 20 minutes ago... There is no champion yet121.214.112.118 (talk) 09:17, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Some of the lettered notes don't work

Jumping is doesn't work; probably some duplicate letters in use. Sgvrfjs (talk) 23:25, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Notes and citations

Attempted to fix notes using {{efn}} so lower alphas are now automatic but I couldn't figure out how to fix those cite errors. I have tried reading the Help pages and am stuck. Please help!

FWIW I don't get the same errors on my User page that I used as a sandbox, hence am really lost on how to test/debug this. Please see herehere

Kvwiki1234 (talk) 04:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Success! Fixed the errors by moving the note details into the article body itself and used the default template {{notelist}} in the Notes section. Would still prefer to have had the note details in the {{notelist}} itself using this format:

{{notelist|refs= {{efn|name=fn1|Very long footnote 1}} {{efn|name=fn2|Very long footnote 2}} }}

But the current solution works for now and the note alphas are now automatic.  Done

If anyone knows how to keep the note details in the {{notelist}} tag itself and at the same time avoid the Cite errors, please help.

Thanks,
