Something about the Two-headed Giant format PT in the 2007 season (and possibly future seasons) might be appropriate. There's some stuff in there about the Team Limited format, which wasn't used this year. --PeterCooperJr 20:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hrm. Grand Prix redirects to this page, but there's nothing on this page about Grand Prixs at all. :( -- JinxM 204.50.199.4 22:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oceania isn't a continent. --2601:18F:902:6A70:41AB:1789:6A5A:3087 (talk) 19:55, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article's grammar needs a lot of cleanup, I've gotten a start on it. --Samfeeleypbp (talk) 02:37, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changes

This article needs to be updated to reflect the changes in competitive Magic. It should be renamed as well since there's no such thing as the Pro Tour anymore. Tris7 (talk) 03:51, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Potential Edits to Content

I am planning to renovate this article, and am opening a communication thread for suggestions.

As far as the suggestion made by User:Tris7, I'd argue that this article should now be a sort of legacy article, and a new page should be made for the new Players Tour competition. First, I plan to merge the Format and Tournament structure sections into a single "Competition Format" section. Next, I want to edit the lead so it reflects the fact that the Pro-Tour is not the current scheme of competition in MTG, as well as editing throughout the page to reflect this overhaul. Additionally, the Player of the Year sections need to be updated, and I will also place all of these within the same section separated by sub-headings. I want to remove the Most successful countries section because it does not seem relevant, and it was just pasted in from a different article. Finally, the graphs need a facelift, as well as adding an MTG logo or logo used for the Pro Tours.

This will be an evolving process over the coming weeks, and I encourage others to participate. Source for PT Philly 2005 info - Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour season 2005 JalepenoPoppr (talk) 13:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Further thoughts on Major Edits

Upon reconsideration, I believe purpose of the revamp of this article should be to recreate it into the "Players Tour" wikipedia page instead of the "Pro Tour" wikipedia page. I don't believe it would make sense to separate the two, as other pages like "NFL playoffs" keep their legacy formats on the article. Since MTG essentially just changed the name, I believe it would be best to go ahead and just have a re-branding of this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JalepenoPoppr (talk • contribs) 21:36, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wrapping up

I have made a large amount of edits, and reformed the page to cater to the new Players Tour structure. I have edited every section, updated and checked all of the citation links, updated the top players graph, and attempted to ensure all outdated information is relocated to the "History" section, or otherwise marked as out of date. I am now reaching out to invite User:IlGreven, User:Myoglobin, and User:Jonadrews to take a look at this updated article. I found you all on the MTG Wiki Project user page, and you seem to be active. I hope you can find some time soon to check my work.

One thing I want to direct those checking this page to are the first two sources. They seem to be blog posts from a MTG executive, and do work as used, but I believe they are considered primary sources. If anyone can find a secondary source for these, please update these links. Also, I hope someone can locate a valid Players Tour logo to use for the lead.JalepenoPoppr (talk) 00:19, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
