The latest in the series of professional snooker ranking list nominations. (I've been given permission to open another.) Steve Davis retained top place in the rankings, as he would for a while. Once again, the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association changed their mind about the basis of compilation after publishing the list, and revised it. I can provide extracts from relevant sources to reviewers. Thanks in advance for improvement suggestions. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:02, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

  • Lead images are usually right at the top, having it halfway down looks a little odd to me
  • "open to all members of the WPBSA, carried points" - don't need that comma
  • "Merit points were awarded to players who were required to compete in qualifying rounds of ranking tournaments who reached the last 32" => "Merit points were awarded to players who were required to compete in qualifying rounds of ranking tournaments and reached the last 32"
  • There's a stray > after the bit about Kirk Stevens
  • "the board of the WPBSA voted to award merit points to players who had won qualifying group and then progressed in the main tournament should receive merit as well as ranking points" - this really doesn't make sense, I think some text has maybe been left in that was intended to be removed......?
  • "Other Ranking Tournaments" => "Other ranking tournaments" -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:54, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please wikilink the first usage of "Lada Classic". This is in the second paragraph.
  • Done (I linked it to the article about the tournament series; the later link is to the specific edition. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add colscopes to the header cells of the points tariff table.
  • In the main table, the "1982/83 season" header cell should have scope as colgroup. Same for the "1983/84 season" header cell. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:35, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think I've done this, but let me know if I haven't done it properly. 08:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks, MPGuy2824. Let me know if anythign else is needed. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 08:26, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • I would link The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian, as it appears you link every instance of the work being cited.
