Talk:Efren Reyes

Can someone add a picture in this article? It looks bland and boring. JonSnow.


 * Someone did. :-) &mdash; SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 22:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Edits, cleanup
I edited the page and hopefully I did the right thing. JonSnow.


 * The information is useful, but quotes like the following--"Before Reyes and his compatriots came over to the U.S., no one here had seen anything like their kicking skill set."--need to be rewritten in NPOV or removed. Citations are required. Etc. A good start, but it needs work. - 24.91.74.91 03:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Aside from what 24.91.74.91 says above (with which I agree completely), it looks great to me as far as the content goes. The article needs a fair amount of cleanup, but aside from POV fixes and sourcing, it's mostly twiddles (formatting, turn the titles/wins list into a table, that sort of thing.) Good initial job!

Efren preferred cue...
Does anyone know which cue brand does Efren play with? or the history of cue brands he used? I heard he played with a meucci for 9 years, but then he broke it.. Yet i couldn't find any article to validate such information. TarekChamma (talk) 13:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * According to this website, from the late 90's to present, Efren has been associated with Judd cues. I suggest you to take a look at that blog, maybe you can find some infos there. Cheers Joaquin008 (talk) 11:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Why Player not Filipino Pool Player??
is this an oversight? 67.133.97.99 (talk) 02:21, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The lede says "Filipino professional pool player". I'm unsure what's wrong. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 06:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

Favourite game?
In a recent article, Reyes is quoted to have said that 15-ball rotation is his favourite game. As a newbie, I'm hesitant to edit that section, but the cited 3cushionbilliards.com opinion piece by a self-identified 3-cushion fan would surely have some incentive to claim that a carom discipline is Reyes' favourite. For what it's worth, the Inquirer article I found was itself written as part of the Inquirer's 2023 SEA games coverage, a competition at which Reyes is only participating in 3-cushion in. The Inquirer piece also quotes Reyes directly, which the 3cushionbilliards.com opinion piece doesn't.

One pocket
Since Reyes is widely considered to be the greatest one pocket player of all time, one pocket should at least be mentioned in the first section. WikiAlto (talk) 00:37, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I added mention of one-pocket to the lead paragraph. We already have various sources in the article pertaining to this game, but someone might want a citation in the lead itself (though cf. WP:LEADCITE: we really should only put citations in the lead for claims likely to be surprising/challenged, e.g. the "often considered the greatest player" claim).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:49, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Photo
There is a photograph with two people. Which one is Reyes?Kdammers (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Left. I fixed the caption. No idea who the other guy is. Might just be a tournament organizer or something.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:44, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
