Talk:Roland Garros

Tennis, tennis, tennis

The vast majority of pages linking here are about the French Open. ("Dogfight" was an exception, meaning Roland Garros (aviator)). Perhaps we should move this page to Roland Garros (disambiguation), make Roland Garros point to French Open and add a hatnote to the French Open page. (I'm fixing those links at the moment.)--ospalh (talk) 14:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I believe the opposite should be true, it seems to me that the aviator is the undisputed source for all other meanings for Roland Garros and should be the main article with a hatnote mentioning that Roland Garros also refers to the French Open tournament named after him. And the French appear to agree, as fr:Roland Garros is the man, with a hatnote to the tournament. Cheers, — sligocki (talk) 18:11, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

changed "self-styled" to "also known"

Just wanted to explain my change. The tournament is named after the stadium where it takes place:"Roland-Garros", just like Wimbledon is named after Wimbledon Stadium. I see no need to use the expression "self-styled" to refer to the fact that what was formerly known as the French Open (also not its official name) is now referred to as Roland Garros. The expression "self-styled" insinuates this newer appellation is somehow illegitimate, a notion of which anyone reading the actual article on the tournament will be disencumbered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Be gottlieb (talk • contribs) 10:24, 9 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
