Snooker world rankings 1981/1982 edit

Featured list candidates/Snooker world rankings 1981/1982/archive1

Nominator(s): BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:44, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The latest in the series of Snooker World Rankings list nominations. 1981/1982 was the first list not topped by Ray Reardon. Cliff Thorburn, the 1980 World Champion known as "The Grinder", led the rankings. Alex Higgins would have been higher, but was docked points after he was late returning to an exhibition match, allegedly because he was occupied playing Space Invaders. As ever, I'm happy to provide relevant extracts from sources to reviewers. Thanks in advance for your improvement suggestions. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:44, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

There seems to be a random "Steve Davis" after "fifth to third"

I wonder about myself sometimes. Removed. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"The professional world rankings for snooker players in the 1980–81 season are listed below" - copy and paste error.....?

Indeed. I've also corrected a link at Snooker world rankings 1980/1981. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That's the only time you use thr 19xx-yy format, elsewhere it's 19xx/19xx

Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure if it's displaying for you, but there's an odd space before the flag next to Sinclair's name in the table
Citations to newspapers.com often have that in the via parameter

BennyOnTheLoose, nothing else from me, lovely work as usual MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 21:32, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, MyCatIsAChonk. Well spotted on the spacing for Sinclair - I've fixed that. Also added "via Newspapers.com2 where applicable. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:54, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from EnthusiastWorld37

"the 1980 Champion" - shouldn't champion not begin with a capital letter in this instance?
Higgins had arrrived late" - typographical error
"who had previosuly" - same problem as above
"Karnehm published a "Supreme Snooker League Table" table" - repetition of the word "table"

That's my lot for this list EnthusiastWorld37 (talk) 14:19, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, EnthusiastWorld37. I've fixed those. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:15, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
