Talk:Smetana (disambiguation)

Romanian
Is it smântan& in Romanian?

What's the difference
Is there really a difference between smetana and sour cream? when i tasted both there was no real difference. Does anyone knows for sure?
 * Sour cream sucks. Seriously, if you tasted them both in, say, United States, no wonder. It is the same problem as with vodka: to me it is just water + alcohol no matter which one; while connoisseurs distinguish brands with eyes closed. There are plenty of brands of sour cream and plenty of brands of 'smetana', all differ. E.g., to my tastes, of all american sour creams I can tolerate only Knudsen brand. Mikkalai 05:17, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Actually i tasted sour cream in USA, and smetana in Russia, i always have thought that sour cream was just a 1-1 translation of the russian word (сметана) smetana into english. And while i can not agree more about Vodka(i am one of connoisseurs you describe), i don't think this applies to smetana vs sour cream. I have tasted good and awful smetana, and good and awful sour cream. I am still not convinced that there is a difference.
 * Aftr some thinking, you are probably right. They are both brands of the essentially same product. Just like beer or whatever. The whole continous spectrum. So unless some compelling arguments will be presented, I will support a vote to

 * 1) write a separate sour cream article (now it is a redirect to [Cream]])
 * 2) and to merge it with smetana. Mikkalai 08:39, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * We've got BOTH in Finland, and they're definitely different. Smetana is much thicker and sweeter than sour cream, and the latter just tastes stupid. - Cymydog Naakka 09:24, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Even so we need some kind of definitive knowledge wether smetana and sour cream are the same product, or just a variation of same product. Guiness and Budwaiser taste VERY differently, yet they are both beers, since they were produced by esseantially same process.--Hq3473 09:31, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Heheh. Could be. With that in mind you might say a merge could be appropriate. - Cymydog Naakka 09:53, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I am implemnting Mikkalai suggestions, if anyone has a different opinion please post on Sour cream discussion page.--Hq3473 21:51, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

And what about the composer?
As the previous version of this page stated, Smetana is also the name of a composer, Bedřich Smetana. I can't tell whether sour cream and smetana taste different :), but if sour cream is the primary page for that, this page, Smetana, should be a disambiguation page, or a redirect to Smetana (disambiguation), which already exists. We could also make this one the primary page for the sour cream and link it to the disambiguation page.  What do you think? -- Adiel 03:58, 2005 Feb 12 (UTC)

I think the composer should be the main article for Smetana and there should be a link to this disambig page on the top of the composer's page. --GidKlio Gidklio 05:02, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

 * I disagree with that. The primary usage is the sour cream. In fact, the composer's last name is derived from the sour cream... bogdan 09:39, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Lamorinda

Lamorinda is an area within Contra Costa County, California in the United States. The name is a portmanteau from the names of the three cities that make up the region: Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda.

Lamorinda sits east of the Berkeley Hills between the Caldecott Tunnel and Walnut Creek. It is also referred to as the "Highway 24" corridor, referring to the state highway that is the primary thoroughfare in the region. Many residents commute west through the tunnel to San Francisco and Oakland or east to Walnut Creek and Concord.

As of 2010 the three cities had a combined population of 57,552, with Lafayette having the largest population and Moraga the smallest.

Differences among the three cities
Each city is distinct from the others, but the three share many similar characteristics such as suburban bedroom communities with little industry. The region has been called "wealthy" by the San Francisco Chronicle. The public high schools in each of the cities are part of the Acalanes Union High School District, one of the highest ranked high school districts in California.

With a cluster of restaurants and generally high-end shops in its downtown, Lafayette is considered the retail hub of the region. Orinda is home to the historic Orinda Theatre and the California Shakespeare Theater. Moraga is home to Saint Mary's College of California.

Transportation
Lafayette and Orinda are located along Highway 24. The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) runs in the highway medians, with stations at  and. Moraga, located to the south, is more isolated; a pair of two-lane roads connect it to Orinda and Lafayette and Highway 24 to the north. Internal roads also connect Moraga to downtown Walnut Creek and another pair of two-lane roads connect it to Oakland hills and Castro Valley.

Central county
Lamorinda is located in the western part of Contra Costa County.

The central part of the county is a valley traversed by Interstate 680 and Highway 24. The towns east of the hills, on or near Highway 24 and their surrounding areas (Lafayette, Moraga and Orinda) are collectively known as Lamorinda. The major central county cities along Interstate 680 are Martinez, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Danville, San Ramon, and unincorporated Alamo.

Bobby Davro

Robert Christopher Nankeville, known professionally as Bobby Davro (born 13 September 1958 ), is an English actor and comedian.

He made his television debut in 1981 followed by breakthrough in Live from Her Majesty's (1983); this was followed by appearances on the television show Copy Cats.

Between 2007 and 2008, Davro played Vinnie Monks in the BBC One soap EastEnders. He participated in Dancing on Ice in 2010, and took part in Your Face Sounds Familiar in 2013. Over the years he has appeared many times in pantomime.

Career
Davro appeared on a variety of television shows, mostly with ITV, throughout the 1980s and 1990s. His popularity was at its highest during the mid-1980s with his own Saturday night ITV shows, Bobby Davro on the Box, Bobby Davro's TV Annual and Bobby Davro's TV Weekly. He also made appearances on the popular comedy impressions sketch show Copy Cats. While he went on to make two more shows with Television South for ITV – Davro's Sketch Pad and Davro in 1990 – by this time the comedian's brand of humour was proving to be less popular with audiences, and ratings for his shows declined.

The 1990s saw Davro switching channels to the BBC, appearing on television shows such as Public Enemy Number One. During the filming of Public Enemy Number One he suffered whiplash for several weeks after being placed in a pillory which, not being secured vertically, toppled over projecting him face-first onto the studio's concrete floor. Reflecting on the incident, Davro said, "the doctors were amazed I hadn’t suffered more badly. I didn’t break my nose or any teeth, which was a minor miracle". This incident was not televised but was used in a BBC safety video, and Inside No.9's Halloween special of 2018, "Dead Line".

On the short-lived show Rock with Laughter, Davro made another attempt at the comedy sketch-show format that had proved so successful for him in the 1980s. He replaced John Eccleston as co-presenter on the game show Run the Risk with Peter Simon: this featured on the BBC's Saturday morning children's show Live & Kicking. Davro returned to UK TV screens in May 1997 as host of Yorkshire Television's Winner Takes All for 65 episodes; this was produced for Challenge TV.

In 2015 Davro appeared at the King's Head Theatre, Islington as ping-pong-playing London cab driver Eric in a revival of Simon Block's comedy Not a Game for Boys. The play was directed by Jason Lawson. The production was well-received, with Danny Coleman-Cooke of the British Theatre website commenting: "Davro is brilliant as the sexist, bitter captain from hell Eric. Davro really captures the tragedy of the character and his quest for escapism, especially in the scene where Eric admits that his 45 minutes a week at the table is the only time in life that he feels truly happy. The funnyman has clearly not lost his comic timing but the depth and emotion of his performance here may well surprise some of his fans and critics alike."

In December 2015, Davro announced a 20-date UK tour for the following year, starting at the Epsom Playhouse on 17 May 2016. On 6 February 2015, he was a guest of Graham Norton on his weekly BBC Radio 2 show.

Live performances

 * In 2005, Davro appeared in Birmingham as an act for Jasper Carrott's Rock With Laughter, alongside performers such as Bill Bailey, Jasper Carrott, Lenny Henry, Bonnie Tyler, Tammy Palmer and the Lord of the Dance troupe.
 * In 2005 and 2006, he performed on stage in Aladdin with Melinda Messenger and John Rhys Davies in Woking, Surrey.
 * Davro performed in Jack and the Beanstalk at the Orchard Theatre in Dartford in 2010 and 2011.
 * In 2011, he performed at the Derngate Theatre, Northampton, in Aladdin.
 * In 2012, he returned to the Derngate Theatre in a production of Cinderella alongside Denise Welch.
 * In 2013, he co-starred in the pantomime of Robin Hood at the Theatre Royal Plymouth alongside Lee Mead and Nigel Havers.
 * In February 2016, Davro appeared in a free gig at The Railway Inn, Billingshurst, as headline on their monthly Joke Club night.
 * In March and April 2016 he appeared as Scarecrow in the pantomime The Wizard of Oz at Dorking Halls, Dorking.
 * In 2017, he appeared at the Southend Cliffs Pavilion as Silly Billy in Jack and the Beanstalk
 * Muddles in Sleeping Beauty at Lyceum Theatre, Crewe.

EastEnders
In August 2007, Davro joined the cast of the BBC One soap opera EastEnders, playing Vinnie Monks, a love interest for Shirley Carter. The character first appeared on screen in October. He left in autumn 2008, later claiming his character "wasn't very good and they didn't give me proper storylines".

Guest appearances
In 1987, Bobby Davro appeared in an episode of Rainbow titled "Guess Who I Am", in which he did impressions of Bungle, Zippy, George and Geoffrey.

In 2006, Davro made a special guest appearance as a judge on Channel 5's All Star Talent Show.

On 20 September 2009, he appeared in a new series of the Channel 4 programme Come Dine with Me. This was a celebrity episode in which he appeared with EastEnders actress Laila Morse, DJ Dane Bowers and former The Word presenter Dani Behr. Davro attained second place.

Dancing on Ice
Davro took part in the ITV skating show Dancing on Ice in January 2010, and was paired with newcomer Molly Moenkhoff. He began the show as a 66/1 outsider to be the outright winner, and made his first and only competitive appearance along with the other male celebrities in week 2. Following a poor performance he was the first male celebrity to be eliminated, after a dance-off against actor Gary Lucy.

Your Face Sounds Familiar
In 2013, Davro along with other celebrities took part in the ITV entertainment series Your Face Sounds Familiar. He was eliminated in the fifth week. His chosen charity for the series was Kids 'n' Cancer.

Celebrity Big Brother
After dismissing reality shows including Big Brother, Britain's Got Talent and I'm a Celebrity and saying he would never appear on such series, in 2015 Davro entered the Celebrity Big Brother house to take part in the sixteenth series. On 24 September, he reached the final and was placed 4th.

Personal life
Trudi Jameson, the mother of Davro's three children, is from Sutton Coldfield. The couple parted in 2003.

Between 2007 and 2011 Davro dated Vicky Wright, daughter of Wolverhampton Wanderers and England footballer Billy Wright. They later reunited and were engaged to be married until Wright's death in May 2023.

Davro's father, Bill Nankeville, was a runner; a British national mile and 1500m champion, world-record holder, and represented Great Britain in two Olympic Games. In 2003 Davro was one of the contestants in the Channel 4 reality TV show The Games, in which 10 celebrities competed against each other in Olympic style events.

Charity
Davro has been a supporter of the UK charity Kids 'n' Cancer.

'Memorial'
The stone depicted in the picture captioned as being a "memorial" to him in Brixton, appears on closer inspection to be a foundation stone, possibly of a theatre (with names of proprietors and managers given). It was laid well within his lifetime in 1894, eleven years before his death, so cannot have been intended as a memorial.

Title character of "Dracula"?
"Irving is thought to have been the inspiration for the title character in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula." Isn't Count Dracula the title character? What aspects of Henry Irving made him the inspiration for the character of Dracula? Vlad the Impaler seems a nicer fit. Aboctok (talk) 20:40, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I've added a section to the article explaining the connection. In short, while Vlad the Impaler surely inspired the concept of vampires and an evil, murderous, count; Irving inpired the specific character of Count Dracul, his mannerisms and personality. The connection becomes clearer when you know something of Irving's personality and relationship with his employees, as I hope the added section in the article now communicates. --Xover (talk) 07:42, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jonesc. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jonesc~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Drude (crater)

Drude is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, in the rugged Montes Cordillera range that forms the outer ring around the Mare Orientale impact basin. It is located just behind the west-southwest limb, and this area is sometimes brought into sight from Earth during favorable librations. However, even at such times, the crater is viewed from the edge and little detail can be seen.

This is a circular crater with a relatively sharp edge, sloping inner walls and a fairly level interior. It has not been significantly eroded, and is generally unremarkable. The nearest craters of note are Graff to the south-southeast and Focas to the north-northwest. The surrounding area is of note for the tumultuous terrain created by the ejecta from Mare Imbrium.

The satellite crater formerly known as Drude S was renamed Heyrovský by the IAU.

This crater lies north of the Mendel-Rydberg Basin, a 630 km wide impact basin of Nectarian age.

Jujyfruits

Jujyfruits are a chewy, gumdrop-like starch-based candy, manufactured by Heide Candy Company, a subsidiary of Ferrara Candy Company. Johnny fruits began production in 1920. They were popular in movie houses along with Heide's other gummy candy, Jujubes.

Description
The Jujyfruits shapes are Asparagus Bundle, Banana, Grape Bundle, Pea Pod, Pineapple, Raspberry, and Tomato. The banana shape is stamped with "HEIDE". Fruity flavors correspond to the colors (not the shapes) and include raspberry (red), anise/licorice (black), lime (green), orange (orange), and lemon (yellow). The candies are firm and harden with age or when chilled. A sour variety is also available.

Until January 1999, the green sweets were mint flavored. Hershey (the parent company at the time) changed them to lime after a customer survey found that mint was not a popular flavor.

Ingredients
As of January 2024, the ingredients listed on Jujyfruits boxes are:
 * Corn syrup
 * Sugar
 * Modified and unmodified cornstarch
 * Natural and artificial flavors
 * White mineral oil
 * Carnauba wax
 * Caramel color
 * Artificial colors (Yellow 6, Blue 1, Yellow 5 and Red 40)

Brand extension

In the 1970s, Jujyfruits held a promotion where customers could send five dollars and a token from a Jujyfruits carton to the Heide Candy Company and receive a brass buckle and leather belt in return.

In popular culture
Jujyfruits was featured in the TV series Seinfeld's fifth-season finale, "The Opposite", and was also briefly mentioned in the sixth-season episode "The Scofflaw".

The main character of the romantic fantasy film Beastly features a main character (Lindy) with a penchant for Jujyfruits.

Araraquara

Araraquara ( or ) is a city in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The population is 250,314 (2022 est.) in an area of 1004 km2. It is also known as "the abode of the sun," because of its impressive sunset and because of its hot atmosphere, especially in summer. The city was founded in 1817.

Etymology
There are two possible origins for the name of the city, one that links it to the Tupi-Guarani language of the region's indigenous inhabitants, and one that relates it to the Língua Geral of São Paulo. The two versions come from similar expressions, "arará kûara" and "arara kûara", which mean "lair of the macaws."

Geography
The city is in the Microregion of Araraquara, part of the Mesoregion of Araraquara, 270 km north of São Paulo.

Media
In telecommunications, the city was served by Companhia Telefônica Brasileira until 1973, when it began to be served by Telecomunicações de São Paulo. In July 1998, this company was acquired by Telefónica, which adopted the Vivo brand in 2012.

The company is currently an operator of cell phones, fixed lines, internet (fiber optics/4G) and television (satellite and cable).

Transport
The city is served by Bartolomeu de Gusmão Airport.

Sport
Ferroviária is the local football (soccer) team of the city organized back in 1950 by the railroad workers at EFA – Araraquara Railroad Company (Estradas de Ferro de Araraquara). The team is known as "Locomotives" and plays home matches at Estádio Fonte Luminosa, which has a maximum capacity of 27,000 people (seated).

Ferroviária has also a very competitive professional female soccer team organized in 2001 that started to collect titles right on the following year – the Ferroviária Women Soccer team got its first state title in 2002 – the São Paulo State championship. Ladies did it again in 2004, 2005 and 2013 to sum up four state titles. The Ferroviaria women soccer team kept evolving in structure to get national projection – women soccer team won in 2014 the Copa do Brasil and more two national titles the Brasileirão in 2014 and 2019. They also reached two most important titles for the women soccer in Americas. In March 2021, the Ferroviaria Women soccer team won its second title of Libertadores da America championship in 2020 edition (due to COVID-19 limitations). The first title at Libertadores da America came on 2015. Lindsay Camila is the Ferrroviaria Women Soccer team coach.

Notable people

 * Rosa Branca - basketball player, World Champion and Olympic medallist
 * Fernanda Venturini — volleyball player, Olympic medallist
 * Roseli Gustavo - basketball player, Olympic medallist

Talk:Michelle Wie West

Accurate Article - Over Hype
For this article to be accurate, it must mention that she was over-hyped and hasn't performed up to expectations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.1.96.190 (talk) 16:52, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Defining Where a Player Finishes In A Tournament
Some Wikipedia members have been trying to say Wie finished the Evian Masters in 3rd last place. This is not true, since she finished the tournament beating every player who missed the cut. It should be stated that she finished 3rd last of those who made the cut. Please Note: If wikipedia members agree that she finished 3rd last, using the reasoning that only the players who played 4 rounds finished the tournament, I will accept this decision. However we will then have to go back and re-edit where it says she finished in last place at the Omega Masters, because using the reasoning of the Evian example, where only players who play 4 rounds FINISH the tournament, that would mean she did not finish last at the Omega Masters, since she did not FINISH the tournament by completing four rounds. --Stanley delaney2 18:40, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * I got my wording from the Golf Channel news broadcast as well as from these news sources: Daily Telegraph "slumped to last but three in the field." and this ESPN.com referring to her finishing "last at McDonald's." There are more, but no one seems to mention "last among those who made the cut" or anything like that. People who don't make the cut don't finish and don't have finishing positions. It would be grossly inaccurate to state or even imply that those who miss the cut are included somehow when calculating finish position.  I will edit the article to cite a reference and will edit the Omega Masters wording as well to clarify what happened there. --Crunch 19:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

How to Write Her Name
Michelle Wie is a native-born U.S. citizen, and we speak and write English here. How to write her name in Korean, Chinese, etc. is 100% irrelevant. She's an American. Perhaps how to write her name in Hawaiian might be a little bit relevant!. dale101usa
 * See discussion on the other Michelle, same arguments apply here. Kowloonese 10:27, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

How do you figure that? If her parents are not from here maybe. SRodgers--65.24.77.104 22:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Is the Hangul version how she writes her name in Korean? I thought her Korean name was Wie Sung-Mi, but the Hangul appears to be a phoneticization of "Michelle Wie." How's the Hanja pronounced? Is that "Wie Sung-Mi"?

- Yes it is. However which one's more frequently used I don't know. {between 위성미 or 미셸위(Michelle Wie)} - Hangul says Wie Sung Mi. - Yes that particular Hanja's read "Wie Sung Mi" with Korean pronounciation.

[Inappropriate/irrelevant comment removed.] Joseph N Hall 15:49, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

 * This is totally irrelevant to the English Wikipedia article. It has nothing whatsoever to do with how she is known in English.  It has nothing whatsoever to do with how her name is spelled in English.  And it is unsourced speculation in any case, as the discussion above shows.  Gene Nygaard 18:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

It is not unsourced as her Korean name is Wie Sung-mi (위성미). I also disagree that it is 'irrelevent'. --DandanxD 03:14, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Age
"There is no way this girl is 15"? Shouldn't that be taken out, as she... is?

Nah mate shes 16 now i think.

Picture
Couldn't someone get a better photo of Wie (e.g. when she's playing golf) instead of the current one? i'm not really familiar with copyright stuffs so i'm hesitant to do so. --Plastictv 29 June 2005 06:22 (UTC)
 * The commons image commons:Image:Michelle Wie.jpg is good enough, but has the same name as the one used in the article... /Grillo 15:33, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

I deleted the links to pictures as the site photos without reference to copyright owners. Also, some photos are somewhat 'adult' in nature. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.30.202.15 (talk) 16:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

PLEASE ADD UPDATED PICTURE. MICHELLE WIE HAS CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY. BETTER PICTURE IS NEEDED. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Korean1Professor (talk • contribs) 01:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Height
Does anyone know how tall she is now? I heard she was 6' 3" but I don't know if that's right or not. Other sources say she's 6' 1".

 * The current (2006) reports are just slightly under 6'1".Crunch 12:26, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Please give me a break! When the media mentions womens golf, all they want to talk about is Michelle Wie. In my opinion it has nothing to do with her skills, as she has accomplised very little. It has all to do with her beauty, compared to other female golfers. Beauty Rules the world and this is so unfail to the good players!

Too much detail
This article is getting a bit long with a lot of detail of every event Wie is playing in. With many events scheduled over the summer, it could get very long if copious details are included about every event. I suggest we curtail the amount of detail recorded for each event. Crunch 23:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, it's absolutely crazy to note every event where Wie participated, regardless of the outcome. Get serious, guys! For other athletes, and I'm not only talking about the likes of Tiger Woods and Lorena Ochoa, the achievements (i.e. wins or maybe near wins) are noted, not the tournaments where they did'nt even qualify for the final rounds. If Wie is, as one might presuppose, less a professional golfer than a celebrity with big advertising contracts, then maybe the focus should be on that part of her career. --Bernardoni (talk) 23:20, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I completely agree. Now there is even a chart that tracks every single event she played in as a professional. This is silly. MATThematical (talk) 21:39, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Making the cut, Se Ri Pak, etc.
This is obviously a controversial topic. Let's remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not the place to determine which accomplishment is more important: Se Ri Pak's in 2003 or Michelle Wie's in 2006. We can't start taking about which tour is more "presigious." The Asian Tour may be a more major tour, but the SK Telecom Open is one of the weakest events with a weak field of all the events on the Asian Tour, while the event Se Ri Pak placed tenth in may have been one of the strongest field events on the Korean Tour. It's best to just state the facts and let the readers decide. Crunch 13:39, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't agree. Readers should be given context. The Asian Tour is one of the six members of the International Federation of PGA Tours and the Korean Tour doesn't even count for world ranking points. The event is actually one of the richer ones sole-santioned by the Asian Tour. A failure to provide appropriate context can itself be misleading and unencyclopedic, and most readers will need guidance in this case. There is nothing in the restored version which is not beyond reasonable dispute. ReeseM 06:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Can you do this and still maitain and POV tone? The earlier edit did not manage to do this, so maybe give it another try. Crunch 12:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

It was a humiliating result, and a sign that women really have no place in a mixed gender game due to their obvious inability to compete, its just degrading for the woman to be humiliated.

 *  paragraph deleted by author  Joseph N Hall 09:06, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

another humilating result, this time 14 over par. You really think she comes back because shes not humiliated? no, she comes back because she makes millions in sponsorship. she has already proved she cannot play vs the men.

Michelle just graduated from high school
According to Honolulu Star-Bulletin, graduation at Punahou School was yesterday, on June 2, 2007. We don't know whether Michelle attended her graduation, but we need to change the part where it says "She is scheduled to graduate...".--Endroit 21:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

 * ...And it looks like Crunch fixed this section in like 5 minutes, since my last message. Thank you, Crunch.--Endroit 21:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

LPGA majors performance
The table showing Michelle Wie's performance in the major tournaments shows her as the "LA" (low amateur) for three of the four majors in 2006. However, other parts of the article indicated that she turned pro late in the 2005 season, so she could not have been the low amateur at a 2006 tournament. Is this just an error, or am I missing something? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:31, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

 * I fixed it. I'm assuming it's an error. --Crunch (talk) 02:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Dual citizenship is not documented
There have been several edits asserting that Wie is a dual citizen of the Untied States and South Korea (the Republic of Korea). None of these have been accompanied by any valid citations indicating that this is true. The sole citation was this: Civic treatment of those with dual nationality. Please note that is merely a document stating the Korean government's policy for dual citizenship, not stating that Wie is a dual citizenship. If you can find a valid and legitimate citation showing that Michelle Wie holds dual citizenship, by all means please include it. In the meantime, please do not fabricate information on Wikipedia. I would also add that given all the media coverage around the globe with regard to Miss Wie and her career covering nearly a decade, if she were a dual US-South Korean citizen, such information would be most likely be widely reported. --Crunch (talk) 02:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

 * A year and a half have passed without any references or documentation following up on the citizenship claims. This section will be deleted unless someone can provide citations. --Crunch (talk) 17:15, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Michelle Wie Turning Professional
michelle Wie is a very good girl in school and especially in golf since she was 4 she played GOLF. I bet it would really fun to play at tournaments, games, and championships.she was born on October 11. And she also began to play in 1994 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.112.9 (talk) 22:07, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

lede suggestion
The current lede seems quite brief. It should probably be expanded to mention some of her amateur achievements and the amount of hype she received early in her pro career, as well as the fact that she has been an underachiever which has lead to critics labeling a her career a disappointment. Richard (talk) 06:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk about the most overhyped player of all time! Shes crap, has never accomplished anything - and probably never will! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.170.21.205 (talk) 23:52, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Streamlining of Article
User:MATThematical made a wide-spread edit of this article claiming there was a discussion and consensus for doing this on this Take page. Obviously there is no such discussion and no consensus. There was a discussion several years ago and that was acted upon. I have therefore started a discussion topic and MATThematical and other users can discuss streamlining here. I am not not necessarily opposed to any streamlining of the site, but Wikipedia process should be followed. I have also asked Wikipedia admins to keep an eye on this page to prevent further widespread editing done without consensus. Please post your opinions below for how the page could be streamlined. --Crunch (talk) 20:27, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

One additional suggestion: a good way to approach this might be to suggest changes a point at a time. For example, make a suggestion about how to edit the section on "Personal Life" for example, rather than suggesting widespread changes all at once. --Crunch (talk) 20:36, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

 * While, I think the discussion (below) was great, I'd just like to note that your initial comment was a bit unfair, and I hope you reconsider addressing other new editors like this in the future. Implying that I was not following the wikipedia process was both offensive, and just plain wrong, and notifying the wikipedia admins was a rather extreme over-reaction. Please see Consensus and Be_bold to see why my edits were are very much in line with the Wikipedia process. Note that consensus at wikipedia is more subtle than it may be defined in the outside world, consensus through discussion is not viewed as the only (or even the most common) way consensus is achieved. In addition all of my edits were from a neutral Point_of_view. If there is a disagreement, then a revert and discussion should be created. Note I was never upset at you reverting the edits. Of course, a revert and discussion can take place even if there isn't necessarily a disagreement - so I'm not saying you were wrong to revert, just that your words were inappropriate. You said in your post, "Obviously there is no such discussion and no consensus". The use of the word "obviously" is condescending, and rude, especially considering there is a discussion only a few lines above this comment (regardless as to how old it is - the fact that you have to point out the dates is the antithesis of obvious). Both responses to your edit said that events needed to be deleted not just details about the events. It is absolutely reasonable, considering that you did not reply to either of these comments, to assume that silence = consensus, as wiki guidelines suggest we do, see Silence_and_consensus. The only thing "obvious" is that a wiki editor (myself) made good faith edits within the wikipedia guidelines. For you to suggest that I did not follow the wikipedia process, is an example of Please_do_not_bite_the_newcomers ... just reflecting on this old discussion.MATThematical (talk) 06:38, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

I agree that it is a good idea to discuss this, even though my edits are absolutely 100% inline with the wikipedia process, but now that I know there is some potential disagreement, lets discuss it. I will start by making suggestions about the sections on her performance (ie pro years)

Proposition (1): Delete the professional performance chart that tracks every event shes played in as a professional. This is just silly, no other player has this.

Proposition (2): Delete non-major LPGA events where she made the cut but finished somewhere between 20th-last of the cut makers. These finishes are niether good nor extremely bad, and hence not noteworthy.

Proposition (3): Summarize streaks of missed cuts on the LPGA and delete individual missed cuts. Slumps can be summarized. Individual missed cuts are not worthy unless something noteworthy happened in the tournament besides her poor play.

Other things I think could be deleted: top 20 finishes in regular events that are not particularly notable. poor performances in majors that are not part of a slump summary(ie. 20th - MC)

Things that I think should stay: Performance in men's events, her top performances in majors (ie top 15 finishes), near wins/ top 5 finishes in regular events, controversies regarding WD and sponsors exemptions, etc.

What do you all think? MATThematical (talk) 22:54, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for outlining this.
 * Proposition (1):The professional performance chart was very useful before she started playing full time on the LPGA Tour. There was no other source of information on her finishes and earnings in events. I'd suggest that it be kept but edited to include only non-LPGA events since there is still no unified source for these anywhere else.

 * Proposition (2): I don't understand what you are proposing. Delete from where?

 * Proposition (3): Like with Prop 2, I'm not sure where you're suggesting the deletion be made.

 * In general, I'd suggest we keep the narrative short. The charts should be thorough enough to tell the story without going into a lot of detail for every tournament in every year.  Let's see what other editors have to say, if anything. --Crunch (talk) 01:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

 * That makes sense. Id be willing to keep the performance chart if we deleted the running summary of practically every event she played in. Or only include non-LPGA events on the performance chart. Proposition 2 - 3 was talking about the play by play in the pre LPGA membership and LPGA membership sections.MATThematical (talk) 22:55, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I was asked on my talk page to offer comments here, and my first reaction is that the recaps from 2006 on are too long; 2006 and 2007 in particular are overlong. For example, Wie's 2007 season should not need five paragraphs to describe. Another thing I noticed is that the Ginn Tribute controversy is mentioned twice, in the 2007 recap and controversy section. It might be wise to cut one mention out as part of any renovations.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 20:17, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I've taken a stab at rewriting the first big section, Amateur career 2000–2005. You can check out the current text and proposed change on my Sandbox page: Crunch Sandbox. This section probably has the least opportunity for changes since this was the time in her career when she was setting a lot of records that are significant, but I pared it down somewhat. Let me know what you think. --Crunch (talk) 22:28, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I like the proposed changes much better than the original. My only three comments is that I think the takefuji classic should not mention her score and the exact date. I think just missing the cut suffices, and if there is a way to combine that with one of the previous sentences that would be great. Also I think we might want to include the Sony open 68 as lowest round by a woman on the PGA tour. Great job though. I agree with Giant that the 2006-present sections are going to need the most work, but I also think its a good idea to start with the easier sections. I like it.MATThematical (talk) 18:37, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I've updated the live article, integrating your suggestions. I'll move on to the next section now. This is definitely more daunting. --Crunch (talk) 00:41, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks everyone who is working on streamlining the article. I think all propositions of MATThematical are sensible. Also, I don't think there is any kind of need to mention tournaments where Wie didn't make the cut etc. Usually, only major achievements of athletes are mentioned. Of course, if there is no major achievement, there is a problem. Apart from that, I think Wie is an interesting phenomenon because of all the hype around her. --Bernardoni (talk) 22:34, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I have to disagree with the assertion that it is not necessary to mention missed cuts. Maybe not in the case of a "normal" golfer. Wie is not a normal golfer.  At least for the part of her career where she was in events beyond her normal age and gender category, recording how she did in those events is very important. Now that she is a full-time LPGA Tour player, going into detail on anything other than extraordinary achievements or failures is not necessary.  That's different. --Crunch (talk) 22:42, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

 * I agree with you on this. Missed cuts is not necessary to mention for some events (that currently are mentioned). But back when she was the youngest in these events or was the only female in these events, her result should be tracked whether it be a missed cut or not. I think it is important to include missed cuts where (1) She was in a mens event (2) events where she was young and it was unusual for her to be playing in the event. Individual missed cuts in the 2007,2008,and 2009 stage on the LPGA tour are probably not notable enough to be mentioned. A slump of missed cuts could be summarized though. MATThematical (talk) 19:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I can agree on that. Of course a slump should even be mentioned today. Concerning earlier times, I also think unusual events should be mentioned. --Bernardoni (talk) 22:15, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I think we're all in agreement now. --Crunch (talk) 00:01, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Wrist Injury Claim
Should the article now reflect the 2009 article in the New York Times. What do people think? MATThematical (talk) 20:38, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I would say yes, it should be given a mention. If nothing else, it shows why she slumped so badly in 2007, and is only now recovering.  Giants2008  ( 17–14 ) 01:14, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Bubbles
Please prove that Bubbles is anything other than a pejorative nickname used by some of Michelle Wie's critics. I have tagged the addition as needing a citation. It will be removed if a reliable citation is not found. --Crunch (talk)

 * A user has added this source, however the nickname is contained in the readers' posts not the text itself. WP:BLP states that "Posts left by readers are never acceptable as sources", therefore I have removed this. January talk 19:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed table shortening
I think the section "Professional record and earnings outside of LPGA membership" should be changed to "Professional record outside of LPGA Tour" (it's a terribly long section title) and all the LPGA entries (2005-2008) eliminated. These made sense before she was a LPGA member. Then, they were not readily available on the LPGA site. Her complete career LPGA record (member and non-member) is now available here. - Tewapack (talk) 19:23, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Removed Rolex Ranking from LPGA Tour career summary section
I removed the Rolex Rankings column from the LPGA Tour career summary. The LPGA Tour career summary shows specifically the results from LPGA Tour tournaments during each year. Rolex Rankings are not part of LPGA Tour results and are not calculated on a yearly basis. If the Rolex Rankings are to be included in this article, it should be in a separate section. --Crunch (talk) 01:44, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Swear Word
What swear word did Wie use at the 2012 HSBC? I thought Wikipedia didn't censor, but the article just calls it a "four-letter expletive". -- 24.212.139.102 (talk) 21:20, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
 * According to the references cited, she said, "fucking idiot." --Crunch (talk) 12:31, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

POV discussion
This article gives undue weight to controversies, poor and average performances. It reeks of POV from an earlier time when Wie was a controversial figure. We need to delete a lot from this article so that a reasonable amount of weight focuses on information and accomplishments compared to controversies, some of which are from minority views. My point about summarizing slumps and controversies from 2009 is even more relevant now. The article still reads too much like a play by play and hence gives undue weight to poor performances, when compared to other athletes. For example the quotes by Wie section is a pretty extreme example of POV. If something is notable enough that it warrants a section in controversies it should be moved there. MATThematical (talk) 16:16, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
 * The controversies existed, even though time has passed. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a current news report only reporting what is most recent. It is important to document all notable aspects of her career and life. --Crunch (talk) 11:34, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * And having said that, I have updated some of the Controversy section to put the events in historical perspective. --Crunch (talk) 12:05, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Of course controversies should be included. The problem wasn't the inclusion of controversies, it was the undue weight controversies were given in relation to other information. "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a current news report only reporting what is most recent" Duh! I never said controversies should be removed. I said the article should summarize slumps and non-notable average play, shouldn't give undue weight to minority opinions, and shouldn't repeat itself. If we are going to have a controversies section, controversies should be talked about there. By double dipping on many of the controversies (by describing them in the LPGA tour play sections) we create undue weight. I'm not sure why you keep on insinuating that I am deleting history. I am just cleaning up the article, so it reads from a neutral point of view. MATThematical (talk) 16:52, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Inclusion in Controversies
While 3 of the controversies provide several articles explaining them in detail and their controversial nature. The last two controversies do not. One talks about the pro-am with no sources documenting that this was actually controversial. The expletive story seems minor, as many golfers including Tiger Woods have done the same and yet it is not included in their wikipedia page. Again there doesn't appear to be any reliable articles stating that this was a controversy beyond a few anonymous golf fan quotes. I fail to see how these events warrant their own subsection, or perhaps even inclusion at all, but I don't want to delete them without discussion first. --MATThematical (talk) 00:48, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
 * In my opinion their inclusion distracts from the other more serious controversies, what do you think?

Suggestions For Editors
I think it would be informative to add a discussion about all the experimentation that Michelle has been doing in recent years, which has created some unorthodox techniques that are probably not even fundamentally sound. According to Golf Channel announcers, she is basically informing her instructor, David Ledbetter, of all the new swing changes she has decided to make, and then he helps her (somewhat) with those changes. She has essentially become a self-taught golfer, which is almost never a good thing, unless you were Ben Hogan. Look what happened to Tiger, when he decided to ditch his teachers, and become a self-taught golfer, for a while. His career nose-dived.

I think this experimentation goes a long way toward explaining why Michelle hasn't won, since 2014. And IMO it has resulted in her becoming the most over-hyped player in golf, in recent years, simply because she is not the golfer she used to be. At one time, she deserved all the hype she got. But she is no longer that same golfer, and it is not even close. Everything about her golf game is different, starting with her full swing. If she played like she plays today, for her entire career, her Wikipedia page would be just a few paragraphs long, if she even had a Wikipedia page. IMO, she is currently on a path toward POSSIBLY becoming the Bobby Clampett of women's golf, by destroying her own game thru paralysis by analysis. (That is what happened to my own golf game, so I know a little about this subject.) 2001:558:6043:C:BC74:3561:2ABA:7508 (talk) 10:44, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

If you can provide references of this we can add it, but not otherwise. Any speculation as to whether this alleged "experimentation" has affected her performance is of course not possible to include because it is merely speculation. MATThematical (talk) 03:20, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Michelle Wie → Michelle Wie West – This is the name the subject is overwhelmingly referred to as by RSes following her marriage in 2019 (search "Michelle Wie" in Google News, for example). AllegedlyHuman (talk) 03:08, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

"Wie West" vs "Wie"
Should "Wie West" or "Wie" be used in-body after Wie West's marriage? The reason I'm asking is because "Wie" is still being used in the "Personal life" section for content about her pregnancy which is after her marriage, but "Wie West" is being used in the very last sentence of the "LPGA membership (2009–2022)" section. It might be a good idea going forward to establish a consensus on which to use to aid those adding content from hereon. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:37, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Just want to update that the uses of "Wie" in the "Personal life" section were replaced by "she", which works fine; however, it might still be a good idea to figure out which to use when new content about her life after getting married is added. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:35, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
