Earlier PTPA[edit]

There seems to have been another notable tennis organization with an identical name in the 1950s - see World number 1 ranked male tennis players#1951, and a mention in this article. Sod25 (talk) 09:36, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removing 'undisclosed paid' editing tag[edit]

I will shortly be removing the 'undisclosed paid' tag originally added in this diff. The POV bits of the supposedly offending 2 edits now appear largely fixed (one can never be sure that any article is entirely free of POV), the editor who made them has only made those two edits in their entire Wikipedia career, and the editor who did the tagging (and indicated what was being referred to in the edit description) seemed very inexperienced at the time (at least judging by number of edits - about 60 edits over 3 days by then, and in total under 600 edits over about 30 days to 9 Dec 2021, seemingly mostly and perhaps all tennis-related, and none since) and seemingly no longer edits (I have far more experince, but I have no idea whether the tag was originally appropriate or not, though rightly or wrongly I think I almost certainly would not have used it myself, per WP:AGF, etc, and would merely have indicated some bits seemed POV). Meanwhile the tag as it stands seemingly unfairly defames the article, and seemingly unfairly casts aspersions against everybody who has edited this article, or who will edit it in future, even though the edit description makes it clear this was not the intention of the tagger (as few people have the time to go looking for the edit and its description to find out who is actually being criticized). So I will now remove the tag, but I am leaving this explanation in case anybody wants to know why. Tlhslobus (talk) 19:11, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
