Korean Tour external link template
-
I'm thinking of creating a WikiProject Golf at the Korean Tour official site (in Korean) on the lines of the others at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Golf/Templates#External_link_templates. This would link through to http://kgt.co.kr/players/profile.aspx?man_code=nnnnnnnn , eg K. J. Choi would be http://kgt.co.kr/players/profile.aspx?man_code=00000190 . The only issue is that pages are in Korean but the "translate to English" in my Chrome browser is helpful, although occasionally obscure (eg height = ì‹ ìž¥ is translated as kidney. The page contains a lot of good stuff. eg the second option (ê²°ê³¼ = results) gives season by season results.
Happy new year!
Happy new year, WikiProject Golf'ers! Whether you're here in the USA, or anywhere else in the world (I know some of you are in other countries), have a good celebration tonight and a nice 2018. John Johnsmith2116 (talk) 14:04, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
International Crown page name etc
Someone from UL (safety organization) has commented at talk:International Crown requesting that the page be called UL International Crown. At one time there were two very similar pages, someone copying the text at International Crown to UL International Crown and then making changes for 2018. I have just turned UL International Crown to a redirect to International Crown but I guess it could be the other way round. And perhaps I did this all wrong anyway. Comment at talk:International Crown. Nigej (talk) 17:15, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- The current title fits with the custom of not using sponsored names in article titles when avoidable. I don't see any reason to change it, since there's no need for disambiguation. pÊ°eËnuËmuË â†'‎ pÊ°iËnyËmyË â†' ‎ɸinimi â†' ‎fiɲimi 18:01, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- Agreed, current page name makes the most sense. Tewapack (talk) 18:12, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
Further question on this International Crown topic. Should 2016 International Crown be renamed 2016 UL International Crown? Same would apply to 2018 event. Nigej (talk) 09:16, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- We're kind of split on women's tournaments with title sponsors. We have 2017 KPMG Women's PGA Championship but 2017 Women's British Open without Ricoh. Seems to me we should decide one way or the other, and move any pages that differ. I think no sponsors is preferred on Wikipedia. pÊ°eËnuËmuË â†'‎ pÊ°iËnyËmyË â†' ‎ɸinimi â†' ‎fiɲimi 17:23, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
- We use the sponsor when there is no alternative eg 2008 Lexus Cup. We occasionally use the sponsor even when we don't need to: 2009 Vivendi Trophy with Seve Ballesteros, 2011 Vivendi Seve Trophy (NNNN Seve Trophy is redirect in both cases) but we could reverse this if reequired. Anyway who remembers the 1991 Johnnie Walker Ryder Cup etc. so I'm inclined to agree with you. Nigej (talk) 10:46, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
GolfSixes
I have noticed that the European Tour has included appearances in the 2017 GolfSixes as team appearances eg http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/players/playerid=34907/bio/index.html http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/players/playerid=31288/bio/index.html . http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2017/tournamentid=2017036/news/newsid=326389.html lists the 32 players. As far as I know we haven't included this as a "team appearance" for anyone. Should we? What is our view? It's a bit different to some pairs events (eg Zurich Classic of New Orleans) in that the pairs do represent countries (at least in some sense). Nigej (talk) 11:00, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Good question. I think, for the time being at least, we don't need to list them as teams. Maybe we can wait and see how they list it on the scoreboard when we watch the event on TV again this year. If it was a big deal team event, it surely would receive move hype. As it is, there are already at least two team events this year on the European Tour. ... When we watch the event this year, if the telecast makes it clear that they intend it as a team event, then I think it should listed as such. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 19:05, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- Correction: There are four other team events on the ET this year. This one would make five, if we list it as such. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 19:07, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
- We don't even have it in. Nigej (talk) 08:41, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
European Senior Tour
I have created 2018 Staysure Tour, the official name of the tour - Q-School finishes tomorrow. I have left European Senior Tour alone. My inclination is to have these as the main names and redirect from 2018 European Senior Tour and Staysure Tour respectively, but I've no strong views if anyone has better ideas. Nigej (talk) 10:24, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
I'm also thinking that we can continue to use European Senior Tour as the main name of the tour in player articles. eg "xxx won his first European Senior Tour event", "xxx is currently playing on the European Senior Tour" and "European Senior Tour wins" etc rather than using Staysure which probably won't last too long as the sponsor of the tour. Nigej (talk) 10:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- I'm really hesitant to use the sponsored name as the article title when an alternative exists. We haven't done it for the Mackenzie Tour. pÊ°eËnuËmuË â†'‎ pÊ°iËnyËmyË â†' ‎ɸinimi â†' ‎fiɲimi 17:42, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- True. Happy to move 2018 Staysure Tour to 2018 European Senior Tour if that's agreed. Nigej (talk) 19:00, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- I too was planning to leave " European Senior Tour" alone. And actually tomorrow I was going to make the 2018 tour page, but it looks like you beat me to it. Although a few weeks ago I made sure to add "Staysure Tour" to the "2018 in golf" page, in case no one made a redirect. Johnsmith2116 (talk) 19:08, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
