Talk:1970 World Snooker Championship

Pulman v Owen score
Most books and sites that I've seen record that John Pulman defeated Gary Owen 37–12 in the semi-final of the 1970 World Snooker Championship. However, sources at the time say that Pulman had a 35–13 lead (Birmingham Daily Post, 27 February 1970; Billiards and Snooker, April 1970), and The Times reported on 28 February 1970 that Pulman gained "a decisive lead of 37–13". Kobylecky's International Directory has 37–13 as the result. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:45, 17 April 2022 (UTC)

Global-snooker.com
, since I passed this I noticed that it uses global-snooker.com as a source. Is this a reliable source? Per this page it's the successor to globalsnookercentre.co.uk, but that doesn't help me much. I think I probably let this go through for GA on the grounds that it was a magazine and hence would have had editorial control, but I don't think that's enough since it seems it was just a shortlived online magazine and there's no evidence it's any more than a one-man show. Can it be replaced with another source? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:07, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I'll replace these. For a while, I've been meaning to put Global Snooker up on the reliable sources noticeboard for discussion, but I need to dig out the evidence and ownership history properly first. IMO it is reliable for records and statistics, but as it's used on so many articles, a consensus of opinion would be helpful. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:52, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Sounds good; if you remember, ping me to that discussion when you start it. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs -  library) 17:37, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
