Rankings on snooker player articles
[edit]If you don't know how the world rankings in snooker work, than please don't make changes to it. Sir Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 09:59, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Snooker ranking 2011/2012. How it works.
[edit]We defenetly know, how it works. http://prosnookerblog.com/rankings/snooker-rankings-how-they-work/
2011 Revision one - is the revision, that was made after PTC6 event on the 3rd October 2011 (not at the beginning of season), and till end of PTC12 event on the 9th January 2012 this ranking is official current ranking . This information is official.
- Sorry, but the rankings after PTC6 was only official until the end of PTC7. It's true that the rankings after PTC6 are used for the seeding of tournaments until the end of PTC12, but they are not official. Also note, that blogs are not reliable. Here is the current official world rankings: http://www.worldsnooker.com/page/WorldRankingsArticle/0,,13165~2216576,00.html. And what you call "Revision 1" is officially called "Cut-off 1". Regards, Sir Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 10:22, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- BTW, did you even read the link above? It clearly says: "introducing a rolling-ranking system whereby the official ranking list is now updated after each event". Sir Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 10:33, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Yes. But it very hard to exchange all ranking positions after each event. And this positions useful just for statistics, not for placing in qualification. But, points after Cut-off 1,2,3 needs to do it (to arrange players between qualification stages). DmitryYakunin (talk) 10:39, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- These parameter should give information about the current ranking of the player and shouldn't contain incorrectly added information. If you think it's too hard to add the right information, than please at least don't add incorrect. Sir Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 10:43, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Ok. But we need to clarify information about rankink position, like: " = 45 (after 2011/2012 PTC7)". Is it correct? DmitryYakunin (talk) 10:51, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- It's correct, but redundant if you update it after every event. Sir Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 10:55, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Thank you! Give me 1 day to correct all positions. DmitryYakunin (talk) 10:57, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit]Hello Dmitry, I am writing with regards to your recent contribution to List of Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches. Although you added useful information, I had to erase it because of Wikipedia copyright guidelines. If you'd like to insert the information again, please follow the general tips below. As an example, I have rephrased and sourced the information about Thaicom 8 which you had previously included verbatim from the sfn_ls source. Happy editing! — JFG talk 19:04, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
Hello DmitryYakunin, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
