Page-re-edited to reflect tournament cashes exceed $1 million. HMDB records only date back as far as 2003, and subject has been played some 5 years prior to this, and has past UK results undocumented on site that surpass HMDB stats but which are not recorded on same. Also Lovejoy link replaced as is totally verifiable as link on Wiki and should be self expalinitory. Please advise why it was removed and also why a number of external links deleted?

 * Wikipedia only adds verifiable information. the Hendon Mob has data going back to the 1970s.  It isn't perfect, but over 800k is accurate.  Lovejoy is already linked in the article, it should not be linked twice.  External links should generally only have one link per domain, so duplicates were removed.  See WP:EL. 2005 (talk) 09:40, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Many thanks for clarification, am new to editing! Will attempt to source non HMDB cashes. Can you please advise if replacing some links at bottom with more in-depth articles(one from each domain obv) is OK.
 * yes, go ahead and pick the best Pokernews article, etc. Ideally a significant article that links to other articles would be the best.  It would be a good idea to not have more than five external links total. In general, wikipedia doesn't like to have external links that have useful information that could instead be added to the article.  The info should instead be in the article, and the webpage where you found the article added as a "reference" like I have the Hendon Mob article currently linked.  As for the additional tournaments, I would advise you not to both.  Poker Pages and the hendon mob have him at 800k+, while Bluff only lists 562k in finishes.  Smaller, local tournaments are generally not considered when these statistics are listed in the article, and that is consistent for all poker players.  If a tournament after 2000 isn't listed in the hendon Mob, it probably would not be considered notable enough to mention. 2005 (talk) 10:46, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
