Talk:Ronnie O'Sullivan/Archive 2

Irish Masters 2007
Was it or was it not a ranking event: I guess not (as per two sentences in the article), but someone wrote that it was his first ranking event win since he won the same tournament two years ago, in 2005, the previous time it had been held, so what is correct, please?

 * No, it wasn't: there are a few inaccuracies in the section which I'm fixing. Stonecold21 20:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Status report? That was some time ago. &mdash;  SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 07:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I repeat my request for an update on this. If this has been resolved, please mark it  and archive it. Otherwise use . I can't tell myself whether it's been resolved, since I'm not sure what exactly "a few inaccuracies in the section" referred to. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 00:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Performance timeline is missing stats
Several stats are missing from the Performance timeline table, making it of dubious value; it is essentially unencyclopedic/broken. If any problem in this article gets fixed any time soon it should be this, first and foremost. &mdash; SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 07:11, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I've filled in a few but can't find the rest. I don't think he played many of the 1992/1993 tournaments as he only turned professional in summer 1992. Also, it might be worth adding in the other tournaments. We can simply lift it from the Polish version. We should also decrease the size of the font so that the stretching is removed.

 * Did he play in any 92/93 matches apart from the World Championship? Should we assume no? Christopher Connor 01:21, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe he attempted to qualify for them, without getting through to the final stages?--MartinUK 17:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Has this been fully resolved yet? Three years should be long enough to fix this. I'm not going to assert whether I think it's fixed or not since I'm not a snooker tournament expert; someone who really tracks that stuff should take a look at it, and flag this as either  (and archive it) or . — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 00:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Performance and rankings timeline needs to be templated
Whoever[s] is/are responsible for the "Performance and rankings timeline" table, please get in touch with me directly. It would be very useful to figure out how to make this an extensible template usable in any such article. Even WP:WikiProject Darts wants it. — SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 01:00, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Ethnicity
He is listed as having Italian descent because of his middle name "Antonio" but yet he isn't listed as having Irish descent since O'Sullivan and Ronnie are both typically Irish names and besides Antonio could be Spanish or Portuguese. I want an explanation or I'll remove the category or add both categories. Spiderone (talk) 12:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * His mother came from Sicily, as you can in the Personal life section. Armbrust (talk) 13:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * This dispute is still active, in that all information about his family and his ethnicity/background has been removed, yet he is still categorized as a Briton of Italian (but not Irish!) descent. These categories have to be removed if the article does not contain any sourced information on his familial background, which it no longer does, since having them there is an unsourced assertion that violates WP:BLP. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ  Contribs. 00:37, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't it be easy enough to re-add the fact that his mother is (or was) Sicilian? Why was it removed in the first place? Incidentally, I'm not sure if his Irish ancestry is recent or strong enough to class him as a British person of Irish descent under Wikipedia rules - not 100% sure about Shaun Murphy either--MartinUK (talk) 18:05, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Because the reference doesn't say she is from Sicily (This was the reference) and to make the article more focused (to reach GA status). Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  18:22, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Performance Timeline
Ronnie did not participate in the following tournaments: Shanghai Masters 2007, 2010 and Bahrain Championship 2008. It shouldn't be marked as a defeat in the opening round. If not by an white A, when by something else. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.211.83.142 (talk) 15:19, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * But he is in the draw, thus the 1R is right. Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  15:29, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * It's stated in the legend that 1R means LOSING. You can't lose if you don't participate. If you don't like the white A we have to change something else because at the moment it looks like he lost in the first round. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.211.83.142 (talk) 15:40, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * What about 1R with white background? Armbrust  Talk  Contribs  18:17, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I like that idea. But we also have to add that to the definitons in the legend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.196.40.152 (talk) 19:29, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I made the changes. That topic can be closed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.211.91.156 (talk) 13:08, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
