Talk:2017 World Snooker Championship

In 2009 when Higgins played Murphy both were alredy champions. Under tournament summary it says this year is the first time champions meet in the final. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.241.92.133 (talk) 21:05, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
 * The text currently says "The final marks the first time in Crucible history that multiple champions have met in the final of the World Championship." Note the words "Crucible" and "multiple". Nigej (talk) 21:32, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Dubious tag
"Reanne Evans became the first female player to win a match at the World Snooker Championships"

Anyone got a source one way or the other on this? If not, we should be removing the statement.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:16, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * She only won a qualifying match. Allison Fisher had done that several times, Kelly Fisher and probably others too. Cuetracker is my only source though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.249.137.45 (talk) 12:03, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * If that is true, the statement should be redacted, and removed.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:01, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Done.--Pawnkingthree (talk) 15:25, 15 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Someone posted the results of the 1995 World Snooker Championship qualifying on the talk page (Talk:1995 World Snooker Championship), a long time ago, unsourced though. Clear there to see Allison Fisher winning. Nigej (talk) 16:54, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

Participant summary
Sorry to have to do this, but I've removed the new section added yesterday by User:Repet93. It appears to have been copied from the 2018 article, and altered to suit the 2017 event, which is fine but it's introduced a citation error presumably because the field_set citation for the 2018 tournament has just been copied in by mistake. If you want to try again (please do), a good source to use here (and to check facts against) is probably https://www.wpbsa.com/betfred-world-championship-2017-tournament-preview/ Also, if there's to be an Overview section, it really needs to include both the Format and Participant summary subsections to be in keeping with the later articles. As this is currently a GA nominee, we need to keep an error-free stable version. Cheers, Rodney Baggins (talk) 09:32, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

FA Push
Hi, I'm looking to nominate this at some point towards FA (Maybe not until next year though), any issues that you can spot with the article, let me know.

- I know you are busy with other articles, but when you get some free time could you take a look at this one for me? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:39, 29 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes of course, no problem. I'll go over it for you in a day or two. Cheers, Rodney Baggins (talk) 17:17, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
 * You might want to deal with the ref.15 cite error. It looks as if you've copied in some material from another article and lost the citation along the way! Rodney Baggins (talk) 12:51, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * - that's exactly what happened. I've replaced it with a cite that fits perfectly. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:59, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi there, how's it going? Are you still interested in bringing this article to FA soon? I did some work on it before Christmas and I can take another look at it now if you like. I've already made a lot of notes and I can sort through them and let you see all relevant comments for your attention. Let me know. Cheers, Rodney Baggins (talk) 18:51, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

Source review
Hi Lee, I've been going through the refs and making a few corrections along the way. Anything you disagree with, just let me know. I notice that Ref.1 just puts you through to the British Newspaper Archive registration page and as such isn't much use, or should at least carry a registration icon.

The following refs. are all the same, as they all point to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/snooker/39592145 Not sure what you want to do with these? Rodney Baggins (talk) 13:57, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Ref.28: 
 * Ref.39: 	--- doesn't really back up the text about Xiao Guodong
 * Ref.52: 	--- very tenuous link to text re. O'Sullivan/Ding match - you'd have to do the math yourself!
 * Ref.61: 	--- (I've moved the ref. tag because the source backs up all 3 of these sessions)
 * Ref.67: 
 * No worries, thanks for your hard work. I'll work my way through these now you have identified them and I'll make some alterations. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:15, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Another thing you might have noticed, I've been checking the citations all have a work (or alias) parameter, rather than just publisher. There's a good reason for that. Apparently the publisher param doesn't make it into the metadata for the CS1/2 template, but the work param does, so it's always necessary to provide a work alias for the citation to be fully defined (whether or not there's also publisher specified). I had a lengthy conversation about this with Trappist the monk recently and he explained it all to me. Read this if you want to have your mind blown! Rodney Baggins (talk) 16:49, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * And do you prefer the work parameter (e.g. BBC Sport) to be unlinked throughout? Rodney Baggins (talk) 16:51, 4 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You might not believe it, I did actually know the difference. I just don't really understand why we don't add metadata for the publisher field.
 * I'm not the biggest fan of linking work or other parameters in the refs. As far as I am aware, it simply needs to be consistent. Adding extra links causes more chance of accidently clicking a link to BBC Sport, rather than the link you were trying to read Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:09, 4 December 2019 (UTC)


 * yeah I am! I'm a little behind, there's a lot of articles I'm currently working on (and I have an FAC open right now.) Let me know what you've got, I'm sure we can make the appropriate edits! :) Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:59, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
