We should probably make a point of referencing that this is the first time since Ding's first appearance at the Masters (2004 iirc?) where he won't feature, ending a consecutive 16 year run appearance in the Mtournament (the 2004 and 2005 editions were via the wildcard qualifying round) as a result of a decrease in his ranking points over the last 2 years since 2019. Ding's lack of presence at the tournament is notable in that it capitulated him into the public eye, iirc. -- CitroenLover ( talk) 21:51, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
I do understand how the draw works, but for previous years articles the "unseeded" 8 players still have a number/seed/ranking whatever besides their name in the brackets. Check it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8085:7160:3B80:408A:5E81:B27B:3254 ( talk) 13:12, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

I have been trying to update and improve the article in good faith over the past week, but it has become frustrating to have a Wikipedia administrator (of all people) needlessly rewording correctly written sentences in ways that damage grammar and syntax, such as changing "The players then traded frames, with Higgins leveling the match at 4–4 with a 127 break" to "Higgins leveling the match at 4–4 with a 127 break" (the latter is not a grammatical standalone sentence); introducing spelling errors, such as replacing "O'Sullivan" with "O'Sillivan" or "accidentally" with "accedently"; deleting sourced and relevant material without explanation, such as my mention of the standing ovations at the Higgins/Williams match, which every published source has commented on, and which Williams himself noted as a highlight of his 30-year career; or demanding citations for obvious statements such as that six of the eight quarter-finalists were former Masters champions. This is essentially disruptive editing that harms the quality of articles while discouraging participation and consensus. It's sad to say, but further efforts to work on this article seem pointless in this environment. Enjoy today's final, everyone. HurricaneHiggins ( talk) 13:38, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

As usual I do mulitple passes of reading on these articles, to make sure they meet the highest standards, and to catch any possible issues that I might have missed the first time.

I do have an electronical version of this if you need any specific quotes from it.Ok, good, that's what matters, per WP:SOURCEACCESS
We don't link to YouTube simply for archiving. II agree, my comment regarding videos was regarding WP:V. I am a strong believer that we should have citations that anyone can verify (so no paywall) whenever possible. It's not a problem if theres a paywall (newspapers.com) and trusted users can always check it for others, but for more obscure sources if the original person can't find them it can be harder. I digress.
I have fixed the two sources using webarchive.that was more important, thanks. Rlink2 ( talk) 01:15, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Amazing work as usual. Always a joy to read articles from editors like you. I will follow up with more comments if needed. Keep up the good work
