Talk:2016 World Snooker Championship

Dubious count
I have removed the "It is the 79th edition of the World Snooker Championship" sentence. We have 1927-1940 (14), 1946-1952 (7) 1952-1957 (6 but unofficial), 1964-1968 (7 challenges), 1969-2016 (48) which adds to 82 if we include everything or 76 if we exclude the unofficial ones. Probably the originator didn't realise that there were 7 challenge matches from 1964-1968 although only 4 years appear in the template. 40th year at the crucible seems better and is not open to dispute.

Live scores
People really need to stop adding live scores and orphan flags to the tournament bracket. Wikipedia is not a news service, and scores should not be added until the end of a match, while the flags make the article look incomplete. – PeeJay 21:24, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Good luck.The same thing happens every year. Semi protecting helps a little but the easiest approach is to do nothing and tidy up in a few weeks time. Nigej (talk) 07:37, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I'll take that as tacit approval of removing the flags and live scores. – PeeJay 13:52, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I like the live scores. They will vanish automatically, so why bother? Jan D. Berends (talk) 18:49, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
 * WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid argument. Wikipedia is not a live news service. – PeeJay 12:18, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Pocket sizes
Surely it should be mentioned somewhere. Lots of players + former players have complained. http://m.bbc.com/sport/snooker/36174937 Mobile mundo (talk) 20:27, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Final Centuries/ Breaks over 50
Are we going to show centuries made in various frames in the final? If yes, are we gonna include breaks over 50 aswell?--Ui56k (talk) 14:49, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I would say Yes and Yes. Nigej (talk) 15:00, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
