Typo?
[edit]The old infobox listed the name as "John Johnson", although neither the text nor the title suggests this is his name. Was that a typo, or is his real name "John", but everyone calls him "Joe"? I used "Joe Johnson" in the new box. Abigail 20:18, May 19, 2004 (UTC)
- My typo, I think. --Auximines 08:00, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

Season format
[edit]Hello, there appears to be different season formats in the article, would be good to standardise. Uses 2020–01, 2020–2021, 2020/21 and 2020/2021 formats at different points in article - I would go with the 2020–01 format as per football articles, but may be different for snooker. Keith D (talk) 18:43, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
- I've made some edits, so hopefully there is consistency in the body text. The table headings and notes are standard in these articles (which doesn't mean they can't be changed). Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:49, 17 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for those, MaxnaCarta. MOS:SNOOKER (yes, there is one!) says that there should be a hyphen in quarter-finals, so am I OK to amend those? BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:12, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- I'll put the hyphens back, sorry for that! — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:36, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- I've done another copyedit, replacing those hyphens and adding some commas. Advantage was also misspelled so I fixed that. Other than those, this now meets the core criteria for GA and so I will pass. — MaxnaCarta ( 💬 • 📝 ) 02:41, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
Spot Checks
[edit]- [20] - I mean, not quite. It does not confirm he was inside the 1983 masters; rather, the reference confirms he was not within the eight-player group. However, this is not a controversial fact. The linked article confirms he was within the 1983 masters, so this is fine.
- I've added a source (and tweaked the text from "eight" to "six"). I've also wikilinked sources where I could, and added a few extra clipppings. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:13, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
