Talk:1964–68 World Snooker Championships

Pulman - Williams 1965
The Pulman-Williams contest in 1965 WAS in fact played in the format of 47 matches - NOT frames. Please do not keep removing the (matches) tag after the scoreline. Sources? Read the third question in this page. Or read any of Clive Everton's snooker books; for instance The Embassy Book of World Snooker or Guinness Book of Snooker. /Bellatrix9 (talk) 13:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The source does not say anything it being a match series. You will have to find a reference for the information to remain. Betty Logan (talk) 14:52, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see you citing any sources when you claim that it was not played over 47 matches, whereas I myself gave you no less than three sources. The books are written by Clive Everton, one of the world's most well-known experts in snooker statistics. And for the web source: If you write out '47 matches' instead of '47 frames', that's what I'd call a match series! I have now cited one of the books as a source on the main page. /Bellatrix9 (talk) 17:44, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't need to cite a source saying it was played over frames because I haven't made a claim either way. The source for the article doesn't state these are frame scores, it just gives the scores and leaves it at that. You added information that wasn't provided by the original source, so the onus is on you to back up your information with a reference.  I'm not against the information being added, just against sloppy editing. Betty Logan (talk) 18:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, you're right, sorry about that. Now at least the book source is there on the page. /Bellatrix9 (talk) 18:27, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

1965 World Championship
Armbrust, I see that you changed the 'matches' tag from the second to the third of the three 1965 matches. And you cite this page. However, the  'FINAL: (Series of matches in South Africa)'  part of that page refers to the second and not the third of the matches, that's why it's written within parantheses. That's clearly stated in this page, (since you removed my book source, where it was also clearly stated). /Bellatrix9 (talk) 17:29, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I've restored the book reference to the article. Armbrust has made an honest mistake here since the Global Snooker reference is ambiguous and the fact that Van Rensburg is SA.Betty Logan (talk) 19:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Challenge matches in South Africa - dates
I see that cuetracker has the Pulman/Williams match as being from October 1st 1965 - December 11th 1965 (cuetracker.net/tournaments/world-championship/1965/921) and the Pulman/Van Rensburg match being from January 24th 1966 - January 29th 1966 (cuetracker.net/tournaments/world-championship/1966/922). The 11 December seems incorrect since https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=LVxAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=fqMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1352%2C2505902 implies thta the 45th match was on the 14th (and there were two more matches apparently). As for the 24 to 29 January dates; they are plausible. Annoyingly I've totally failed to find a single newspaper report about this match. We know that the Test match (intended to the first of a series) was from 3 to 7 January, so a date either before this or after is possible. Note also that https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=M1xAAAAAIBAJ&sjid=fqMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3557%2C3523001 seems to shows that the Rex Williams maximum was actually on 22 December not 23 December as it says here: Maximum_break. All a bit of mess really. Nigej (talk) 14:22, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
