Here are some tasks you can do:

    Contents

    [edit] Controversy?

    A couple of sentences under "Controversy" aren't controversy at all; either that or they aren't explained very well... EdGl 03:48, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

    There isn't a controversy section any more. Athenaeum 04:11, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Black people

    In the Tiger Woods interview he was talking about Black players before him. He mentioned a player who couldn't play because they kept changing the rules. I didn't catch the name of the player. What rules was he talking about? --Gbleem 00:58, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

    That likely would be Charlie Sifford, who won a couple of tournaments which ordinarily would allow him to enter, but the Masters Committee didn't let him in. I don't know if Bobby Jones (who was very sick at the time) or Clifford Roberts, or someone else, was responsible. Lee Elder finally got in for the 1975 tournament.

    [edit] Major Masters Moments

    I have written an article, located at Suite101.com entitled Major Moments at the Masters. I believe it is informative for readers who aren't familiar with or that are new to the Masters. It will generate discussion among Masters afficianados. There's a discussion forum for anyone who wants to comment. Alan1066 00:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] Flags for England/Wales/UK

    England and Wales are not sovereign nations; the UK is. Shouldn't the UK flag be used instead? Do we see US states or just the US flag?72.152.94.69 09:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

    In golf, as in international soccer, each of the UK's four constituent countries are represented seperately. Using your US example, Chi Chi Rodriguez represented Puerto Rico, and the Puerto Rican flag appears next to his name in tournaments he won, despite the fact that Puerto Rico is not a sovereign nation but is part of the United States. This practice is well established.

    Um... yes actually, it is. It is a (semi-autonomous) U.S. territory. I believe the territories (including Puerto Rico) will be getting their own quarters following the 50 states... Carl Lindberg (talk) 04:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

    [edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Masters logo.gif

    Image:Masters logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

    Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

    If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:40, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
