Masters Tournament Par-3 contest

Featured list candidates/Masters Tournament Par-3 contest/archive1

Nominator(s): The Rambling Man (talk) 22:52, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because it cropped up as being an interesting side-effect of the Masters tournament. Many holes-in-one, lots of affection for the contest, a "curse" too. Yes, I have another FLC open, it's not related, it's got one set of comments that I've addressed, it's all good. The Rambling Man (talk) 22:52, 2 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008 (Talk) 21:05, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –

List of winners could have the first two words dropped, since we don't need confirmation that it's a list.
Thus moved. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:48, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, but this wasn't what I had I mind (not that I necessarily mind the title being moved, as it doesn't bother me either way). What I meant was that the section heading could have those words taken out. My fault for not making that clear in the original comment. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Typo in the Vijay Singh photo caption: "pictured".~~
Fixed. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:48, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
We only have 2013 marked as having had a playoff. This source gives a figure of 19 Par-3 contest playoffs going into 2015. It gives a few playoff years but not all of them, and I don't have much in my various sports almanacs that would help. Maybe looking at the sources again will give a few clues as to when playoffs were held. Or you might consider dropping the symbol if the sources don't exist to comprehensively note them.
Interesting, will come back to this. Particularly as the source you note is wrong also in its claim that the last playoff was in 2004... The Rambling Man (talk) 21:48, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Giants2008: The official website has cleared this up so I've made the necessary adjustments and noted it in the lead as well. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:47, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's great; I wasn't convinced the sources were out there for you to find them all. It seems like you're using asterisks for the playoffs; if so, you'll need to fix the key, which is showing asterisks for ties and another symbol for playoffs. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Refs 2 and 26 have gone dead since the start of the FLC.~~
Will go looking. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Replaced. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:25, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~If the players with wins in the Masters and the Par-3 tournament aren't referenced somewhere, they probably should be.~~
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~I'd add the related source used at the end of the lead to the first note below the Masters champions table, as the source is from 1991. The lead source is more up-to-date.~~
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:55, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~The publisher of ref 8 should be capitalized, as the Augusta Chronicle is a newspaper.~~ Giants2008 (Talk) 21:32, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm guessing you mean The Augusta Chronicle should be The Augusta Chronicle, thus done. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's precisely what I meant to say. Giants2008 (Talk) 00:23, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comments, just the playoff issue to resolve, I'll take a look at that tomorrow if you don't mind. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:57, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've addressed your concerns, please let me know if there's anything I can do? Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:26, 26 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Key fixed, section heading trimmed, anything else Giants2008? The Rambling Man (talk) 04:46, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support – All of my comments have been addressed, and I like the new title. This looks like it meets FL standards now. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:05, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Addressed comments from — Yellow Dingo (talk) 10:20, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:TITLEABSENTBOLD — "In general, if the article's title is absent from the first sentence, do not apply the bold style to related text that does appear." — remove the bold from the lead
Actually, since no other article covers this, I may just change the article title (again) to "Masters Torunament Par-3 Contest" and then bold that in the lead ... what do you think? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Works for me. — Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:32, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"56 years ago before the 1960 tournament," - add a comma after "ago"
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Link "par" it the phrase "par-27" to Par (score) as not everyone knows what technical terms such as "par" mean.
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"designed" → "which was designed"
Done. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"closest in 1990" - per WP:EASTEREGG change the link from 1990 to something more concise like "1990 tournament"
Done, by the way you have a few of those in the Kenya ODI list! The Rambling Man (talk) 09:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, fixed those as well! — Yellow Dingo (talk) 09:34, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

— Nice article. A few points to address above. — Yellow Dingo (talk) 08:35, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, all comments bar the bold/title, addressed. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:27, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support nice list. Well done! — Yellow Dingo (talk) 10:20, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comments by Dudley

Looks fine. Just a couple of queries.
I am no expert, but I take it that this is a single half round as opposed to the several full rounds in a serious tournament. This could be spelled out.
That should be covered by ... on a nine-hole, par-27 course ... The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The (2) obviously refers to second wins, but this should be explained in the key. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:22, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, added something.

Thanks Dudley Miles for the review! The Rambling Man (talk) 20:27, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support. A first rate list, although I do not see you have covered a single round. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I see what you mean, I've added a few extra words which I think covers it now. Thanks again for the review. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:49, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source review – I don't believe there are any prohibitions against a previous supporter offering a source check, so allow me to expedite the process. All sources are well-formatted and reliable. I spot-checked refs 6 (playoffs only), 19, 20, and 30, and found one issue: there were 20 playoffs, not 19 as the lead indicates. The Masters website lists all the playoffs in its table, but apparently never updated its lead after the 2015 playoff. This should be corrected in our lead. A look at the link-checker tool reveals that ref 32 has gone dead. The page appears to have been moved here, so that can be used as a replacement. All other links appear to be in working order. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:16, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I can't believe that link went dead already, I only found it a few days back. But fixed, as is the number of playoffs. Thanks for the keen eye. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:20, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
