TFA blurb review

[edit]
Ronnie O'Sullivan in 2015
Ronnie O'Sullivan

The 2019 Tour Championship was a professional snooker ranking tournament, held from 19 to 24 March 2019 in Llandudno, Wales. Organised by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, it was the 18th ranking event of the 2018–19 season. The top eight players based on the single year ranking list took part in a single elimination tournament. Each match was played over a minimum of two sessions, the final as a best-of-25-frames match over two days. In a repeat of the Players Championship final two weeks prior, Ronnie O'Sullivan (pictured in 2015) met Neil Robertson in the final. O'Sullivan won the match 13–11 to claim his 36th ranking title, equalling Stephen Hendry's record of ranking event wins. This was O'Sullivan's third ranking title win of the season. On winning the tournament, O'Sullivan returned to the world number one position for the first time since May 2010, and became the oldest world number one since Ray Reardon in 1983.

Just a suggested blurb ... thoughts and edits are welcome. - Dank (push to talk) 21:48, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I like this - had a look, and didn't see anything wrong. Do we need to mention the image wasn't from the event? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 22:18, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The rollover caption says "O’Sullivan in 2015". When David Levy does his spectacularly competent work on the image, he often converts that to a visible caption. If he doesn't, then I plan to add "in 2015" into the text, after "pictured" - Dank (push to talk) 22:51, 21 September 2019 (UTC) My partner John did most of the work on this blurb, btw ... he says thanks. - Dank (push to talk) 22:52, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've switched to our standard formatting ("[person's name]" as the caption / "[person's name] in [year]" as the title). —David Levy 23:07, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Okay ... apologies for not being up to speed .. I rely on you for too much. I've added "in 2015" to the text. - Dank (push to talk) 23:13, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about the delay - I forgot where these were posted too. It's great - fantastic work. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 18:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
