WTA Tour

Hi mate, I saw your proposal on the tennis wikiproject for navboxes linking tennis singles draws. What do you think about this? 03 md 16:23, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I like it! The small S, D, X links are practical without dominating the template. I prefer it over my own suggestion Template:2009 WTA Tour - Singles. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:48, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Would you be able to start applying it to the other templates and adding the navbox to relevant articles? 03 md 19:33, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

It affects a lot of articles for men/women main/singles/doubles/mix 2009/earlier. I would prefer first seeing your suggestion posted to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis#Navboxes on Singles/Doubles pages and wait longer for comments. The suggestion I posted didn't involve changing the existing template on the main articles. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:05, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

White space

Thank you for the help with Burying The Past: Legacy of The Mountain Meadows Massacre. I tried moving picture left and leaving box right and it is a little better, but now there is a line from the second L2 heading running through the box and the bottom of the image. Please take a look and revert it if it isn't an improvement. Thank you. RJFJR (talk) 15:10, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

The line stops at the box and image without running through them in all 4 tested browsers. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:39, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for checking. I'm running IE7. RJFJR (talk) 14:38, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the help on my color question @ the Pump. Are you old enough to remember Monty Python (wink wink nod nod)? I don't remember all that much, but what remains is positive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tapered (talk • contribs) 03:00, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I have fond memories of reruns and remember Nudge Nudge. PrimeHunter (talk) 04:23, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Frugal number, etc.

Turns out that frugal numbers are not a subsequence of my sequence, as I count the multiplication symbol. So 30375 (3⁵ x 5³) is frugal but not in my list. But thanks for introducing me to the concept.

Also, on Ruth-Aaron number, I knew that square-free numbers were in common between the two types of pairs, and guessed that there were non-square-free examples as well, but had not yet gotten around to coding to find one; thanks for adding one to the article.

A related concept--consecutive integers the sum of whose proper divisors is identical. Are there any? If so, one of the numbers must be either a square or twice a square. Ma^t_chups 21:42, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

thank you so much

i saw you have edited Indonesia's article....your editing is very reasonable and describe the country's condition very well without using bias statement and thank for fixing my mistake to pipe the red link —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs) 00:53, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

I found and fixed it.[3] The reference was used three times. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

That's why I asked that it be fixed and I was going to do it to fixed the 3rd time. See, I'm not lazy! Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 22:40, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you from me, too. Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 22:41, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

by the way.......

as this is the end of year 2009, do you remember that you wrote the GDP nominal and PPP in the Indonesia's article that based on 2008 data, you may delete it and add that Indonesia has the second largest coastline after Canada changing the 19th largest GDP and 16th at Purchasing power parity as it's no longer suitable for year 2010, or if you wish to keep the GDP as the introductory of Indonesia's article, you may use the 2009 GDP data released by IMF, but, just dont do it now, you may do that at the beginning of 2010 new year or late December 2009........

thanks, by the way, i really wanna do that yet the member named "MERBABU" always delete my editing.... i dunno why, he only wants to show me that he is a master of wikipedia......, hahaha;)

thanks anyway.....

have a nice day, keep spirit and ....enjoy your time —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikael07 (talk • contribs)

My only edit to the article was to pipe a link in [3]. I know almost nothing about Indonesia and am not planning to make more edits. I just noticed a weird red link when coming to the article as a reader, not an editor, and decided to fix it. PrimeHunter (talk) 12:15, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Category: Cancelled things

Being a cat tagger I am rather hoping that you might agree to the renaming of the category to Cancelled projects - the things offends my sense of what I expect to see when tagging category talk pages - would you be partial to such a change? I hope so - cheers Satu Suro 03:49, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Smith numbers

In Talk:Smith number you mentioned that you counted Smith numbers up to 10^11. Didn't you save by a chance all the Smith numbers themselves? I'd be interested in searching some regular structures but generating Smith numbers up 10^11 turns to be very time-consuming. Maxal (talk) 16:26, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

The billions of Smith numbers were not saved. It took around 24 hours at 2.4 GHz to reach the Smith septuple at 164736913905. I stopped shortly after that. Only Smith quadruples or more were saved, around 54000 in total. I can mail them if you want. I could also make a program version which saves all found Smith numbers starting from 0 (the program has nu feature to start from a given number). I don't want to mail billions of numbers but I could mail the program and you could decide how long to run it. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:43, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

No, thanks. I realized that the speed is roughly the same. I think it is possible to reach even 10^12 within a week or so. Maxal (talk) 05:16, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

I've completed search up to 10¹² and found only one new septuple (starting with 979173530091) but no octuples. Maxal (talk) 20:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Darkicebot

Hi there. Darkicebot added them because that Portal was created on the Simple English Wikipedia. Since I don't regularly edit there much anymore, I cannot say if it has been deleted or not, but if it has been deleted, then you needn't do anything because other interwiki bots will delete the link as the page has been deleted. Hope this clears things up. He usually doesn't do Portals. I had it running on the -new setting, so it was only checking through the newest pages made on the Simple English Wikipedia. Hope it didn't cause too much work for you :( Cheers, Razor flame 01:20, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I highly doubt that that will ever happen again, so no harm, no foul :). Cheers, Razor flame 12:53, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Comments Section of Photo

Thank you so much for offering to help me with a photo in which I botched the comments section. Would you please go ahead and delete the photo "Seligman Performing Arts Center" along with its history, etc.? I will reload it. Can you provide me with instructions as to how to upload it with a tag indicating that the photographer wishes to remain anonymous but has given permission for the photo to be uploaded without restriction? I'd like to avoid this problem again. Another question: how can I delete a tag at the top of my article calling it a "new and unreviewed article?" Can I have a knowledgeable person I know review it and then do something to have the tag removed? Thank you again. Rouder (talk) 22:07, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually the photo has already been deleted.

Lucas -Lehmer test

I saw that you undid my revision and again there is a error in the code. If the test for Merseen fails , the number can still be a prime number (other than Mersenne) and need not be composite. What kind of prime hunter are you. You will not win any prize money i guess.192.87.123.159 (talk) 13:51, 23 April 2010 (UTC).

The code at Lucas–Lehmer primality test#The test starts by saying:

// Determine if M_p = 2^p − 1 is prime

It is a test of M_p which is a Mersenne number. By definition, if M_p is prime then it is a Mersenne prime. How could it be prime without being a Mersenne prime when it is a Mersenne number? Maybe you thought it was a primality test of p itsef but that is clearly not the case. By the way, I'm this kind of prime hunter. I haven't searched for Mersenne primes (but have the top-5 prp Mersenne cofactors). PrimeHunter (talk) 14:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

COngrats on the cofactors. Who wants to double search. // Determine if M_p = 2^p − 1 is prime. is hard enough192.87.123.159 (talk) 15:26, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm not sure what you mean by double search. Finding primes p to run the Lucas–Lehmer primality test on is completely trivial and nobody runs large Lucas–Lehmer tests without knowing in advance that p is prime. All primes up to the largest p for which M_p has ever been Lucas-Lehmer tested can be computed in less than a second on a PC, for example with the Sieve of Eratosthenes. PrimeHunter (talk) 15:59, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Then the comment should not read: // Determine if M_p = 2^p − 1 is prime. but: // Determine if p is prime. If you test an abitrary p then it might not be Mersenne (but maybe an ordinary prime instead of composite?). 192.87.123.159 (talk) 09:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I still don't get what you mean. It is a test of whether M_p = 2^p − 1 is prime. The test works correctly whether or not p is prime (if p is composite then the test will always correctly say M_p is composite but running the test would be a waste of time). It is not a test of whether p is prime, it doesn't claim to test whether p is prime, and it shouldn't claim to do that. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Admin advise

Re: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis#Sebastian_Vinatoru. I've undone the vandalism I found and blocked the user. However, there may be an abundance of IPs linked into this. I found three doing just when I was cleaning up and looking where the vandalism came from. Just wondering if you bother to block/warn these IPs as the offender just seems do be hopping around? Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:34, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I only use admin tools for a few things and don't have experience in fighting IP hopping socks. I only gave a warning at User talk:92.82.231.10. Blocks for a single IP seem pointless if that IP doesn't do it again anyway. I had noticed that Sebiy continued the hoax at User talk:Sebiy after being blocked. I chose to ignore it in the hope that it would stay out of mainspace but that is clearly not the case. Maybe it is time to consider range blocks or Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations with a possible checkuser request but I dont' have the experience. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:50, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Alyona Bondarenko

Thank you for pointing this out. I've been making that change as I went along because I was under the impression that the redirect was the other way around, particularly as Alyona seems to be closer to the true pronunciation of her name than Alona. (In fact, looking at the history, I see it used to be the other way around.) On pronunciation grounds it probably should be Alyona, but if she herself uses Alona, that's good enough for me. I'll remove it from my list of changes. Do you think it's significant enough to be important to go back and undo my changes? Colonies Chris (talk) 08:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

i need your help this is a ip user on this article removing a source/content from a article without forming a conserius because i think when you remove a source you should get a consensus first before doing that type of edit. i have ask them do do that a few times but they just keep going back and just removing the soruce/content anyway. first where can we go to sort this out second i know i properly not handle this perfectly either. i do not want to break the 3rr rule which i think i may be close too if i have not already. i do not want to get any one in trouble but one of us may end up in trouble anyway. if you or amyone else you looks into this deems it that way. so any help you can give me or tell me where i can go to get this matter solve that would be great thanks.Oo7565 (talk) 10:25, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Why undo?

Hello. I was wondering why you undid my edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sexy_prime&diff=prev&oldid=357051649 I just added a little clarification to make it easier to read and understand. Can you point to any policy why it shouldn't be there? --Farzaneh (talk) 13:20, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Your explanation was wrong. As the edit summary of my revert said [5], 9001# is the product of primes <= 9001, i.e. 9001# = 2×3×5×...×9001. You are thinking of p₉₀₀₁# which is a notation sometimes used for the product of the first 9001 primes. By the way, I have personally checked that the expression with 2×3×5×...×9001 really gives primes of the stated size. A sieve by me was used in the record, I had the previous record, and somebody is working on a new record with sieving by me. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:58, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, thanks. The word "primorial" is ambiguous, as far as I can tell from the wikipedia article on primorial and can have both meanings. Why not add a brief explanation here to clarify which one is meant? --Farzaneh (talk) 16:35, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

OK. But the notation 9001# is not ambiguous. It always means 2×3×5×...×9001. p₉₀₀₁# always means p₁×p₂×...×p₉₀₀₁ = 2×3×...×93187. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:50, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Motto shop

Some contributors to the motto of the day project choose mottos that they have created or mottos that they like as their mottos to live by on the wiki. Sounds like a good idea, right? Maybe you want one? Oh, darn. You're completely stumped! You know what it wants to express, but you can't find it in your head what it actually will come out to be. Well, you can rely on the more experienced users to help you! We can create a motto, original or quoted, with any subject or message that you choose. All you have to do is go to the requests page, fill out a form, and presto! Within a day or two, you will have a custom motto, delivered to you on your talk page in the template of your choice.

Now I'd like to know if my (editing) behavior was constructive or disruptive. After all, I interrupted your first reply. This is to learn from & to improve my behavior here, clearly. -DePiep (talk) 20:41, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

There was no disruption and you didn't interrupt my reply. You added a post below it. That's how Wikipedia discussions are supposed to work. They are not limited to two people at a time. Others can chime in at any time. This also means that [6] was unnecessary. Others know they can post if they have something to contribute. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, more generous than I expected (imo, wiki-Talk pages are more sensitive & subtle, compared to tech-pages). And for sure, stepping out in time is a great thing too on Internet. -DePiep (talk) 21:23, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Sorry, it was a mistake. I don't know where my facts came from but I can swear I found them on the WTA website. I must have switched with another player, idk. Anyway, it's corrected. Thanks for pointing that out :)

Help desk question

I've been looking at the Help desk question you responded to at WP:Help desk#change of the auther's_name, and I think there has been an incorrect reattribution, but I can't see the deleted file and am not sure of the best way forward. Would you mind having another look? Thanks. Ka renjc 11:33, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

The first "sphenic triple" or "3 triple"

Hi, on sci.math discussion about a year ago I introduced 1309,1310,1311 as the first example of three consecutive square free numbers each with exactly 3 prime factors, asking, or betting, on whether there were infinitely many such triples for each k>1 that goes in place of the {3} earlier in this sentence. An mathematician named James Waldby dubbed them "k triples." I just wish I had checked around amd seen that several years ago in Sphenic numbers you had already(acording to edit history) noted that (1309,1310,1311) is the first 3 triple. Sorry! I didn't think it was likely to have been worked on already. I also submitted the first few as a sequence to the Encyclopedia of integer sequences. Best wishes, Rich (talk) 02:50, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I see you made oeis:A165936. I didn't look for past work when I made the simple observation [7] in 2006 but I now see an OEIS search gives oeis:A066509 from 2002. I have worked on many computational problems about consecutive integers with a shared property in their prime factorization. Here is a 4021-digit semi-prime triplet from 2003: [8]. PrimeHunter (talk) 03:15, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

The Wayback Machine shows 1309,1310,1311 was already in Prime Curios in 2001.[9] PrimeHunter (talk) 04:30, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for everything. By the way we have "sphenic number" as the term for squareefree numers composed of three primes, so is there already a term for squarefree semiprimes? If not I guess we can use squarefree semiprime as the term or maybe squarefree biprime.Rich (talk) 02:27, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't know a specific term. Prime signature calls them square-free semiprimes. A comment at oeis:A006881 says "Could also be called squarefree semiprimes (or 2-almost primes)". PrimeHunter (talk) 02:55, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Feedback

Hiya,

I know you help out on the helpdesk (great stuff), and wondered if, perhaps, you can also help some users on WP:FEED? It is quite similar; mostly newly-created articles looking for some basic info on how to improve the article. If you have a quick look over recent feedback given, you'll get the idea; anyway - it was just a thought; if you ever can help out there, please do, because it quite often gets backlogged. Cheers!

Talkback/InfoPrint Solutions

Hello, PrimeHunter. You have new messages at Fastily's talk page.
Message added 21:48, 23 October 2010 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Not sure (a) how familiar you are with InfoPrint (as a company or a division of IBM) or (b) how active you are in stalking Fastily's page, but I posted a comment there that you may (or may not) find relevant. :-) Best, Rob ROBERTMFROMLI ^TALK/_CNTRB 21:48, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

They look notable but the IP hasn't yet responded to the request to create an account at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page#How do i find the status of an article I've submitted. I don't think we userfy pages for IP's. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Hmmm... worse case scenario (IP doesnt respond), is it possible to userfy it to my space? Not sure what rules (if any) would apply to that (hence the question). And if so, how long can it remain there? Kinda busy at the moment, but would put what time I can into it to get it to a suitable article format. Best, Rob ROBERTMFROMLI ^TALK/_CNTRB 18:10, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication of deleted content gives no time limit and is only an essay anyway. It would probably be at least months before anybody took notice if there was no work on it. If the IP doesn't respond within a couple more days then I can userfy to you. It's weekend now and people edit at different schedules. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:30, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Much thanks - and most definitely I'd want the IP to get the opportunity to complete their own work (and sufficient time to make that decision) - so, even longer is fine. I trust your determination in this on how long is fair. Thanks again, Robert ROBERTMFROMLI ^TALK/_CNTRB 20:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Edits and Additions

I understand the difference between the actual articles and the Disambiguation Pages now...thanks for pointing that out...However; it would be extremely helpful if items were not just randomly depeted but rather assist the contributor in placing the information in the correct place.

Also, your comment about being a general international encyclopedia is not clear. You state that Wikipedias intention is to have a world consensus yet that is what I offered. I was not altering the existing article but rather placed a new section with additional information about the man-made aspects of these topics. A concensus is not one view point. The sections on water features discuss both natural and man-made varieties and then when a reader goes to the individual types of water features it is all about the natural side and not one word about the man-made variaeties of creeks and streams. Wikipedia opens the door by bringing up the topic of man-made water features but then offers no answers to those looking for this valued information. I was just trying to add this view point and not in any way alter the natural definition.

You refer to "MY" American industry definitions...but these are the views of the worlds largest international organization on this subject with members in 52 countries...these views are from the world! We spent more than two full years batting ideas and thoughts back and forth with "every" members volunteer input until we finally came up with a series of terminology and definitions that fit the worlds needs on man-made water feature styles and types.

You say that no industry should be able to define what a RIVER is...I am not attempting to do that! Wikipedia is telling me what a river is...who there decided to talk about the natural aspects and delete the man-made aspects? Who decides why one entire view is deleted from the worlds information? A river is what it is...a large watercourse! A man-made river is a large watercourse...the world agrees with this...all I was trying to do is distinguish the differences between where a brook, creek, stream and river seperate from each other in man-made applications.

I am not trying to make everyone fit into one mold. Someone needs to assist people around the world in finding this information. I though that was Wikipedias goal...to provide information to the world. If someone wants to know what a man-made creek consists of, the information is there, to be edited and adjusted throughout the years if needed. I just want to get the basics posted for people to access. The additions I offered were very generalized and left plenty of interpretation for the world. Did you read any of my additions?

Basically they stated that each feature such as a man-made creek is both a landscape or architectural element, interior or exterior of a moderate size...a brook is smaller than a creek...a stream is larger, etc...basic guidelines for anyone around the world that wishes to carry on a conversation with someone...at least we are all using the same language to discribe what it is we do. If someone with any remote background in these areas would even take a look at my additions, they would see that the desciptions and definitions are widely acceptible for all nationalities and countries around the globe. There are errors in Wikipedia listings that make it difficult to follow. It is the responsibility of Experts in each of these areas or fields to assist you in fine tuning the terminology so that their are no mis-communications. It makes Wikipedia better for everyone.

Wikipedia says that a creek is a small stream...this is not correct...a stream is a larger watercourse than a creek...a creek is a smaller watercourse, not a smaller stream. Instead of crossing these terms over each other, Wikipedia should be clear and concise. All areas of moving water are watercourses! Each size of watercourse has a different name so that every one knows the difference between a small, moderate or large watercourse, brook, creek, stream, river...

All I want to do is add this information for the hundreds of thousands of landscape contractors, designers and architects around the world that wish to have access to this beneficial and valued information. This is nto an American view but the US is far more advanced in a lot of this information than most of the world...this is why they pay us tens of thousdands of dollars to travel to these other coountries to design and install water features...because there is no one in those countries capable of doing the level of work we do. Please let me know how I can contribute the cortrect way and get the man-made aspects of water features fully covered on your site. There are dozens of types of ponds, watercourses, waterfalls, etc, and very obvious differences between them that I can share with your viewers. And I have access to tons of information and industry experts, photographs,etc, that I will give to Wikipedia if someone will just ppoint me in the right diorection and not just delete everything I contribute. Remember, once this information is on your site...it is not set in stone, it is still open to editing, adjustments and corrections by anyone from around the world once it has been uploaded. It just needs to be added first...that is all I wish to do...wburny Wburny (talk) 19:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wburny (talk • contribs) 19:24, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

I see you have also posted to User talk:Velella#Please Assist Me as suggested. I'm sure Velella knows more than me about flowing bodies of water and Wikipedia discussions about it. I don't plan to edit about it and don't think I'm the best person for you to discuss further with. But yes, I did read some of your edits. For example [10] where you said a natural river is larger than a creek even though the same section later says "Sometimes a river is said to be larger than a creek" and has a US reference (question 17 in [11]) supporting that it is not necessarily so. It also seems a little odd to me to use more than 2/3 of the opening paragraph of River in a general encyclopedia on explaining a technical definition about a landscape or architectural element. To most readers and people in general, a river is a natural body of water. Also note that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. We don't aim to list and define every use of a word and there are many common words we don't even have an article about. Our sister project Wiktionary is a dictionary. Perhaps you could expand Water feature or other articles dedicated to your profession, and then insert relevant links to them in other articles without going into technical details in those articles if ordinary people wouldn't usually associate the topic with water features.

Thanks! I decided to try my luck with the only feasible looking search, twins Maureen. The first of 365 hits had a blurb about twins with alleged mother Maureen, and one of the few sources said Eileen. That was a lot easier than I (and probably you) expected! Maybe a magician shouldn't reveal his tricks... But at least I boldly tried where others would have given up in advance. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:17, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

It's a relatively new addition [13] to a non-guideline page and probably hasn't been reviewed in connection with WP:SMI. I'm not a fan of it but I'm not personally going to complain if it links to the user talk page as it will do by default without a parameter. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Re: Help Desk...

Assuming that the user really did want to know if there was any veracity to this story, wouldn't it be better to answer his question honestly rather than deleting it? --Jayron32 00:51, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

I looked at the other edits of the user and saw [14] 4 minutes earlier which was removed by somebody else as trolling. I don't see somebody posing good faith questions here. Without the context of the preceding edit I would have left the help desk post. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:18, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Ah yes. I missed that. Good one. Anyways, no big whoop. Toodles. --Jayron32 04:12, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Seeking your opinion

Hello PrimeHunter,

I thought about creating an article listing prime numbers. My idea was to create linkpage containing a wikilink to a page for all primes in, lets say [1, 10⁷], a wikilink to a page for all primes in [10⁷, 2 x 10⁷], a wikilink for [2 x 10⁷, 3 x 10⁷] etc. This could be useful, since it is often very hard to find comprehensive lists of primes on the web. For a first short draft of what I had in mind, you may want to have a look at User:Toshio Yamaguchi/List of prime numbers.

What do you think? Feel free to drop a message on my talk page regarding this proposal.Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 23:42, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, your arguments sound reasonable. Thank you.Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 02:16, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Two thing to discuss

1. I think there should be category created for Fictional People with Bipolar Disorder because for example Callisto_(Xena) from Xena has bipolar disorder. 2.I also think there should be category for American_people_of_isreail-Jewish_descent because that applies to such people as Natalie_portman and Oded_Fehr.

Daviscup.com

I am aware of the bot request. The links that I am fixing are ones that were not able to be fixed by the bot, which are basically news articles, which have to be fixed by hand. Basically, the article IDs have been changed to URLs containing the title of the article. Unfortunately, not all of them still exist, so substitute references from other reliable sources are necessary (e.g., NYTimes, or other news sources). The good news is that if you check the list on WT:WikiProject Tennis, we are now down to less than a dozen. 134.253.26.12 (talk) 23:29, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

1. I think there should be a picture for Julie Kavner, the voice of Marge Simpson. Would this one for acceptable: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/File:Juliekavner.jpeg 2.
