Use of "without doubt" versus "arguably"

While there is probably a general consensus about Nieminen's status in Finnish tennis, the phrase "best player" is subjective and thus POV. This is why "arguably" and not "without doubt" has been used. Jamyskis Whisper, Contribs 13:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would say "without doubt" best player from Finland. He has best results for a Finn in all four Grand Slam tournaments, is the only Finn to win a ATP tournament and has been top-ranked Finn for over 10 years (probably from 2001 or 2002 on). In contrast, Nieminen has been in top 50 for 3 whole years (2003, 2006-08) while next best, Veli Paloheimo just one week. 82.141.116.89 (talk) 07:05, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

photos

I'm biased, but without looking at who took which photo, could independant editors make sure we pick the best photo for Jarkko both in thumbnail and blown up?

I am biased as well, so I would like put this picture into "competition":

I like the one you just added... dm (talk) 00:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anu Nieminen?

There reads: His wife, Anu Nieminen, is currently Finland's top-ranked badminton women's single player.
However, I looked current BWF rankings, and she not there at all. She was Finlands #1 for a big while (probably at least 10 years), but that's a different story. 82.141.116.89 (talk) 06:02, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, now I know: she retired in 2012, so she most definitely is not "currently" top-ranked. 82.141.116.89 (talk) 06:32, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Challenger titles

His ATP page's "Career highlights" section has this: closed year with 10th career Challenger title in Helsinki. Worth mentioning? 212.50.203.198 (talk) 19:03, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
