Is a "full stop" necessary at the end of non-sentence captions? We have many differences and variant methods here on the Encyclopedia's countless articles. Please ping, if you are going to leave a comment. — Hamid Hassani (talk) 03:06, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

no, see WP:CAPFRAG. Hamid Hassani. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 06:55, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Second line reads "Widely recognised as one of the most talented and accomplished players in snooker history"
Surely it's no longer disputed that Ronnie is the best ever - or at the very least the most accomplished (with most titles, most centuries, and most 147s). Should the second line be updated to reflect this? 2402:7500:4F6:2924:0:0:29B1:6AD1 (talk) 06:13, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

How do you compare players from different eras? Hendry was more dominant in his time and Ronnie ever has been. Either way content is meant to be based on what reliable sources say and the lede should summarise content in the body of the article. The current wording is such that no one's really disputed it but your change would, I suspect, be disputed. So I think we'd some convincing evidence that a high proportion of reliable sources do agree that he's the best ever. Nigej (talk) 13:05, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
Best-ever will always be subjective, even if journalists think it isn't the case. Seasider53 (talk) 13:06, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
His peers and the pundits are on record saying he's the greatest.  That's the fact.  His on table accomplishments, century average, longevity, and winning record are facts. 217.155.68.51 (talk) 19:16, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
Oh, okay. You have swayed me. Seasider53 (talk) 22:31, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
This isn't something for Wikipedia to say "the best". We can (and do) mention his accomplishments in the lede. Personally, I think Joe Davis was by far a more dominant player, so there's one person who doesn't agree with that statement. It's much better to acclaim the subject without using Wikipedia's voice to state opinion. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 22:34, 28 April 2025 (UTC)
It's not subjective at all. ~2025-35160-92 (talk) 11:31, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
yes, yes it is. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:29, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Any objections if pool/snooker hybrid TV show Tenball is removed from the non-ranking events chart? It has been requested on my talk page and has been removed from Jimmy White after a discussion there.  Canary757 (talk) 07:17, 1 May 2025 (UTC)
