Welcome

Hello DooksFoley147 and welcome to Misplaced Pages! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your contributions, such as the ones to List of world number one snooker players, do not conform to our policies.

If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox (but beware that the contents of the sandbox are deleted frequently) rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Misplaced Pages.

Hello, I'm Betty Logan. I noticed that you recently removed content from Maximum break without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Misplaced Pages with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

it was not a mistake or an experiment the time of the quickest maximum is 5mins and 8 seconds

Hello and welcome to Misplaced Pages. When you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. 331dot (talk) 11:49, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

the final you just removed

This has been discussed before. Cuetracker is on the blacklist and is not a reliable source, hence why there is no reference to this result on O'Sullivan's page. This particular event cannot be verified through any other source other than Cuetracker. If you visit Pontins Open (the results of which are sourced) you can see for that year they did not play in the final. It's likely this match was played earlier in the tournament, if at all. Ultimately, it's unreferenced and cannot be included. Andygray110 (talk) 03:15, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Andy that is nonsense cuetracker is referenced for many events that chris turner's site has missed so how come it is good enough to reference some events and not others ?. cuetracker is only blacklisted for century breaks and prize money I do believe. DooksFoley147 (talk) 03:19, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Are you trying to suggest that he made up the event ?. DooksFoley147 (talk) 03:22, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• I'm not suggesting anything, I'm going by the rules of the encyclopedia, currently you are not. I do suggest you visit Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Snooker if you require more clarification before you start an edit war. Please note that if you revert my change again, you will be in breach of 3RR. Andygray110 (talk) 03:26, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

How come it is ok to include events from cuetracker that chris turner site does not cover, ie Steve Davis' win in the 1991 European League and Jimmy White's win in the New Zealand Masters. why is it ok to reference cuetracker for some events and not others ? DooksFoley147 (talk) 03:30, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Cuetracker is used for references for lots of events on wiki so why are people told it is no good for others why is that the case then ?. DooksFoley147 (talk) 03:32, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Can you explain to me why cuetracker is referenced for some tournaments and not others please ?. can you explain why that is ?. Thanks DooksFoley147 (talk) 03:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Andygray110. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Ronnie O'Sullivan have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the help desk. Thanks. Andygray110 (talk) 03:22, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Andygray110 (talk) 03:44, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

I just asked a simple question can you answer it please ?. how come cuetracker is ok to be used for events not covered by other sources and not ok for this ,can you tell me why it is not ok for this one ?. That is all I want to know ?. Thanks DooksFoley147 (talk) 03:48, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• Cuetracker is not ok to be used as source for any event, as I explained above. Andygray110 (talk) 03:54, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

but it is used on this site I am not saying by you but other people have added events using it. There was no need to report me I am only trying to help out on this site, and working for the good of this site and I don't appreciate the criticism quite frankly. DooksFoley147 (talk) 03:58, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Can you remove that complaint you made against me ?. I am only trying to help out here and I do not think it is fair to be honest. DooksFoley147 (talk) 04:14, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Keep in mind that Misplaced Pages is a volunteer project; as such, it is possible for someone to use inappropriate sources and have them go undetected for a long time. This is why seeing something elsewhere is not a reason by itself to use it as a source. 331dot (talk) 09:31, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Why are you now removing events from Cliff Thorburn non- ranking section

I am removing them as his website is a WP:SPS is a self-published source. The fact that there are no other sources that document these results means it cannot be used (although it necessarily doesn't mean they didn't happen). There were tags against these for a year in which other sources could be added; none were added, and so I have removed them.

Again, I would please urge you to discuss this type of issue either at the article talk page, or Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Snooker before reverting the edits of others. Andygray110 (talk) 11:46, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Do you go to a talkpage to discuss removing these events ?. you seem to remove what you want. you remove my stuff without going to a talkpage. DooksFoley147 (talk) 11:58, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• An extra note on this - if you can find and add sources that back up the results (other than the self-published website) then there will be no problem adding them. Andygray110 (talk) 11:50, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

But again Andy why bother removing them from Cliff's page ?. there are other results from players with no sources from that era and they are left can you explain that to me please ?. I asked you a few question last night but you would not respond to me btw. DooksFoley147 (talk) 11:56, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

• I've just explained why I've bothered to remove them!! If other pages are the same, then it is likely such unsourced content will be removed as well. Andygray110 (talk) 12:03, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

why don't you just leave them alone. These events took place there was just not as many sources available back in the day. Half the players on Misplaced Pages have no sources for there wins, I really don't know why you are doing this. I remember last year reading on a thread that you had no intention of removing tournaments with no sources as there would be mass deletion of pages. So why now ?.
