Wikipedia is not a news tickertape[edit]

Things like "Sabalenka needs to at least reach the final to become the new world number one with Świątek failing to reach the semifinal. If Sabalenka wins the title and Świątek falls before the final, Sabalenka will also become number one. Otherwise Świątek will retain her ranking" do not belong in the article lead. This is the type of thing that will be removed once the tournament ends, and it will change as the rounds change. That is not what Wikipedia is for at all. It should be enough to say that there is a battle for number one with a link that shows the full details of all the calculations. Editors try to add this stuff every year (mostly ill-informed IPs) and it perplexes me that seasoned editors would want to keep it. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:14, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Flag changes[edit]

Some political activist is clearly adding flag icons for Russia and Belarus and removing the Ukrainian flag next to players' names -- can we ban this IP please? Yesvictor (talk) 01:19, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Where? Ah I see it. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 03:00, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

American flags have been removed as well. 79.225.59.26 (talk) 05:06, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've already reported, and attempted to fix the flags. LizardJr8 (talk) 00:51, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh, it's more widespread than I thought. I think I got them all now. If anyone has a reason why the Russia and Belarus flags shouldn't be there (like Olympic sanctions applying?) then ping me and I'll change them back. LizardJr8 (talk) 00:54, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's actually right - Russia and Belarus flags should not be there. Players from these countries are barred from competing under these flags under current ATP and WTA rules. 2603:7000:8A00:204B:E552:4F7C:492F:A17B (talk) 01:45, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I thought that might be the case... fixed now. LizardJr8 (talk) 01:54, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All flags should be displayed. Political propaganda has no place in professional sports. 184.185.164.123 (talk) 15:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And yet the governing organizations and sources do not agree with you. Fyunck(click) (talk) 17:13, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
