Citation tags on Ronnie O'Sullivan
Hi there. I noticed a few tags on Ronnie O'Sullivan. As a GA it is expected to be devoid of those and I thought I'd give a heads up if anyone wants to fix that before someone else notices and submits it for reassessment. Cheers! REDMAN 2019 ( talk ) 16:50, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * To be fair it's only the career prize money that they are tagged, so I doubt it would be able to get as far as GANR. I don't personally think we have a reliable source that covers this up to date information, the best we do have is the occasional source that is a as of deal, which I'd be happier using. However, we usually just get people updating it with OR, calculating this by hand. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:18, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Century lists punctuation
Hi! Me again - at the FAC,  brought up about adding semi-colons to the century lists, such as:


 * 147; Mark Selby
 * 145, 100; Shaun Murphy
 * 144; Ben Woollaston

etc. as opposed to the numbers next to the names. I'm super neutral on this, and happy to make the changes, but wanted to open the floor to some other users. I'm happy to work on a script to do this full sale across all of our articles if deemed suitable. I think this is likely better grammatically than what we currently do, but it's not really my area. If no one has any issues, I'm happy to encorporate.:) Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:52, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I have implemented on 2014 World Snooker Championship as per the request, this might give you a better example of how it looks in practice. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:53, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm neutral too. The commas force a certain spacing between the numbers and the semi-colon does likewise for the number and name. I suspect the brain naturally finds it easier to separate a number and a word than it does to separate a long list of numbers, but I can't see any harm in adding one.

 * Hi, personally I'd prefer to use the spaced en dash as an interruptor, like so:
 * 140, 137, 132, 130, 113, 108, 103, 102, 101, 100 – Neil Robertson
 * 137, 112, 109 – Ricky Walden
 * 136, 131, 124, 124, 118, 117, 113, 112, 108, 106, 103, 102, 100 – Ronnie O'Sullivan
 * 136, 124, 116, 109 – Marco Fu
 * 136 – Ding Junhui
 * I think it has better visibility than the semi-colon. Rodney Baggins (talk) 16:40, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I always read en-dash as being an interuptor as in separate information, rather than both parts being needed (as that's what the semi-colon does). It's the same reason why I wouldn't want to see:
 * 106, 102 (Neil Robertson)
 * Etc. But then, also do we even need something really obvious to distinguish between the numbers and the words? Difficult for me. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:14, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi all, just wanted to bring these up again, as it's been commented about on a couple subsequent FACs. I've added – tp the 2021 Tour Championship, but could we get consensus as to what we should do across all of our articles? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:13, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * If the options are (1) nothing (2) semi-colon (3) en-dash, personally I'd go for 3,1,2. In some ways it's a bit odd having the name last, but it avoids the need for a table or similar, I suppose. Nigej (talk) 19:50, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * This seems like everyone seems pretty happy with en-dash. I'll start making my way through the articles. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:40, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
