Error in personal details

The text refers to Greg Norman's new wife as Kristen Kunter. Her name is actually Kirsten Kutner. Can an administrator fix this ?

"260 weeks"

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"Evert was ranked world No. 1 for 260 weeks"

260 weeks = 5 years

(5 x 52 = 260) Is there any good reason not to use "5 years", which is a lot easier to grasp? Or is it just because 260 is more impressive than 5?

Year end number 1 claim wrong

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Evert was year end number 1 five times not seven as claimed in the intro. Number 1 status started in 1975 so she cannot have been year end #1 for 1974 (ranking system introduced Nov 75) and Navratilova had the 1978 year end status. Antipodenz (talk) 20:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
