Hey Pete, welcome to wikipedia! And thanks for all the work you're putting into those snooker articles. You might be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker, which should be a good place to discuss all things, er, snooker. Anyway, I hope you decide to stick around. Standard welcome message follows :)...

Here are some useful tips for newcomers:

Hi,

I have seen you have edited and created many Snooker articles. I thought might be interested in joining Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker, where you can discuss things all about snooker! Thanks . - Nick C 13:31, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World Darts

Nice job with the World Darts Championship historical section. I will add to it where I can. I've set up a template Template:World Darts Championship (first time I've tried it so let me know your comments) which can be added to the bottom of all world darts pages. I wish there were a few more darts editors to help.... Seedybob2 16:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

NB: be careful with player links eg Bob Anderson needs to be listed as Bob Anderson (darts player) - Mike Gregory comes up as the rugby coach. But keep going! Seedybob2 19:58, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

HI I have set up the [Category:BDO World Darts Championships] (just include [[ ]] around the wording) for you to put each of your annual entries into. I have already done 1985 and 1986 for you. Please look at the bottom of the pages and copy the category with each article. Also please add this category to all of your entries so far. Good work darts is very porrly covered on wikipedia - I created a few dart stubs earlier It would be great if you could at a later date start entries for darts players too. All the best Ernst Stavro Blofeld 20:37, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

HI nice work well done for using the categories but I have noticed a number of inconsistencies in your work. Looking at Bob Sinnaeve on some years 1984 he is Belgian while others he is English?. Peter Locke some years he is Welsh sometimes English. Please be careful and check after you have done it because it may be misleading. On the 1984 one the flag of Nicky Virachkul is messed up and often Boboby George reads Bobby Geroge so is in red ink

Also I thought the BDO chammpionship was different from the World Professional Darts Championship yet on the template darts box at the botton the BDO entries are under the World Pro CHampionship. Correct me if I'm wrong but is this right? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 11:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Blofeld - before 1994 there was only one world championship - the BDO World Professional Championship was effectively the unified World Pro Championship so I set the template up accordingly. From 1994, the BDO & PDC need to be categorised differently. We could possibly re-name the events before '93 as "1979 World Professional Darts Championship" and so on, but then again we could also rename them "1979 Embassy..." - bit of a long-winded answer, sorry!

[edit] Snooker championships

What's your methodology for doing this work? Have you made a fill-in-the-blanks template article? Just curious if there's something you've done to make it less tedious. :-) — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 21:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nice work on WSC 2007

Nice going! With your contribs we already have a decent article going and it is still a month until it starts! If you have any ideas for article development feel free to experiment - I created a "Notable Moments" chapter last year but I don't know if something more comprehensive and day by day could be created to allow better textural coverage of the championships (above and beyond the drawsheet). Again, nice work, SFC9394 23:06, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UK TV magazines

If you're going to add a template, do it properly! See Template:UK TV magazines and use {{UK TV magazines}}. Cheers! Stephenb (Talk) 19:45, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
