Can someone list which facility each year's tournry was played at?--Nick Dillinger 11:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Larned in 1906?

It says he won only 7 times: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Larned—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.150.45.86 (talk) 15:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Listing backwards

It should be listed from most current to oldest. 99% of people want to see who won in a recent year, not 1898. I.e., you're forcing the wrong percent to scroll down to find the results.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.237.125.244 (talk) 22:21, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put it in alphabetical order so that no one is slighted, and it is neutral and people can tell where to add new ones into the list in future years when needed. If you want to you can change that to be by years won but please don't completely erase my hard work! That's my reasoning and that's all I ask and request!Bluedogtn (talk) 03:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name of article

The name of the article may be ok, but shouldn't the name of the tournament accurately reflect what it was before the Open era? Ditto the 2nd chart: technically Tilden and those who came before never won the "U.S. Open." Bruxism (talk) 22:04, 9 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I will change it to reflect the Open Championships/US Open, but the first list should include the Pre and Post Open Era!Bluedogtn (talk) 02:59, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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".

German flag

I feel sorry for Gottfried von Cramm, who was harassed by Nazi authorities and convicted for having a relationship with a gay Jew, and now appears for posterity next to a flag with a swastika. Isn't there some way of showing that he was a German but not with the German flag of his time period appearing next to him? It also affects other German athletes in many sports of that era, many of whom were not thrilled by Nazi doctrine. Why not have a blank flag?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Crabbylucy (talk • contribs) 20:16, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Factual accuracy over sentiment I guess. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:17, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In his wiki biography there is no question he was harassed and imprisoned by his own Nazi gov't for what they considered sexually deviant behavior, however many other countries would have done the same thing at that time. But in reading the article I saw nothing really that said whether he was or was not a Nazi sympathizer, it only said he would not let them use him for propaganda. If you have some sources for that or quotes from Von Cramm perhaps it would be good to add them to the biography since people will look him up after seeing the flag next to his name. I know I did the first time I saw it. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:45, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Opening to international competitors

In the articles are different information (with sources):

List of US Open men's singles champions: The inaugural tournament, in 1881, was reserved for United States National Lawn Tennis Association (USNLTA) club members, before the championships opened to international competitors in 1882.
1882 U.S. National Championships – Singles: Participation was restricted to U.S. citizens only.
1883 U.S. National Championships – Singles: Participation was restricted to players who competed for U.S. clubs.

So what year is valid? Kacir 10:41, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
