That the WPBSA was "founded in 1968" is found in multiple sources, e.g. the Association's own site, the BBC, and Morrison's Encyclopedia of Snooker. However, I believe, as per sources quoted in that article and in Rex Williams, that the PBPA was revived rather than founded in 1968, disaffiliated from the BA&CC from 1 October 1970, and was renamed the WPBSA on 12 December 1970. The difference is perhaps not that important, and there are good sources that can be quoted for founded in 1968, but just a heads-up in case this is relevant to getting snooker to FA - that article is already much improved! Let me know if you want any help with snooker sources. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 14:11, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
Hi Rodney - three years, eh? I didn't quite realise we'd been on the site for such a similar amount of time (I was a October 2017 guy). Maybe your superior wording and copy editing prowess made me assume you had been here significantly longer than I (somewhere you said you did professional copyediting? I may have dreamt that though).
Just a quick message to say you've been doing a grand job, especially helping me out at snooker, as well as Mark Selby and the 2019 World Snooker Championship. Keep up the good work! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 13:16, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello there Rodney. I am a new user who recently edited the page for the Munich air disaster. I added the names of all the victims because some were missing ahead of the anniversary of the disaster. You deleted my contributions, and rightly so, because my reference was next to a heading, and there can be no section links. Can you tell me where to put my reference if it cannot go next to the heading and should not come after every new name (I got them all from the same source)? I am new so I would appreciate your help, especially before the anniversary of the disaster tomorrow. Thank you very much for your help. Cheers, Jmanc2658 ( talk) 20:14, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
The consensus is we don't name the dead or survivors of aviation disasters unless they have a WP article. Here are just some of the many discussions-

I can vouch that Snookerpool is a commonly played variant in Northern England. Of course, not citable doesn't make it untrue! Essentially you have 10 reds not 15, and it's played on a standard 9ft pool table The shorter table dimensions, no nap, plus the larger pockets make it much easier to compile higher breaks There's also a version with a shot clock known as 'Snookerpool Rapide' Like I say, more of an amateur game than anything of professional standing, but it's most definitely a thing. It was on the variants list for a long time prior to this removal (and no, it wasn't me who added that!) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.155.44.114 ( talk • contribs) 5:48 pm, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

@ Lee Vilenski: Hi there, sorry I've not been much help with the snooker FAC. It looks as if you've been working very hard on it. As you know, I did spend a lot of time on it a few months ago, and now I feel that it's being slowly deconstructed, so I almost daren't look at it in too much detail (sort of joking there!) I AM planning to have a good look through all the changes but I've been a bit distracted with the Tokyo Olympics this past couple of weeks. Is there anything specific you want me to look at, or anyone you want me to nudge for comments? What about the people that commented in the peer review, or other members of the snooker project that might not have noticed it's up for review? Rodney Baggins ( talk) 15:04, 5 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi - I see you reverted my deletion of the "Airliner accidents and incidents caused by tailstrikes" category on this article. While I have no issue that a tailstrike occurred when the aircraft tried to take off early. I can't see how the tailstrike caused the accident, none of the reference even hint at such a situation. I suspect the creation of this category was naive and if anything a sensible category would have been "Airliner Accidents that involved tailstrikes" but that is not what it currently is and it has just been through a delete/rename discussion.

A look through NewsBank and the British Newspaper Archive gives a link from the Aberdeen Press and Journal, 22 September 1993 page 20: "Snooker Regal Challenge (Motherwell Civic Centre) R.O'Sullivan (Eng) beat J.Higgins (Sco) 6–5." The Guardian link to the event is https://www.newspapers.com/clip/77201715/the-guardian/ . This clearly gives the result in the sports results section. I would think that this was the source that the person who added it tried to use but obviously they failed or did not know how to add it or just quoted the link. 80.233.86.99 ( talk) 11:22, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
No i am not the person you mentioned. It was given as a result in the Guardian and other papers so obviously it was not that minor or insignificant. I just gave links that people asked for. As you know well minor invitational events are on every players page and some events don't have a source at all. This event is also sourced in Snooker Scene in the November 1993 edition, page 8 80.233.86.99 ( talk) 11:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
It doesn't matter what personal opinions are on events. It does not matter even if it was a single match it can count if it was sanctioned. May i point out World finals were held as single challenge matches. The 1990 Centenary Challenge was played just between Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis should that be removed because only two players were involved ?. Should we base that on opinion or sources ?. The early Irish Masters were contested with just two players should they be removed no i don't think so?. There are dozens of events we could find like that 80.233.86.99 ( talk) 13:08, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
Lee you have no idea it was a showpiece match you say it can't be anything else how do you know that ?. There is no logic to that conclusion. We had two links yesterday from newspapers the Aberdeen Journal and the Guardian who both published the result. Newspapers do not print the results of exhibition matches or showpiece matches. Now we have a different link from the Daily Telegraph which also references the result, We know it was the Regal Scottish Challenge and now we find out that there was prize money for the event and it was shown live on Sky Sports and this is now referenced from a different source again. The newspapers would not print the result of an exhibition and the winner would not be getting any prize money if it was an exhibition. There would be no money involved in an exhibition event at all. As it was pointed it out yesterday it is no different to the 1990 centenary challenge between Hendry and Davis. To Betty Logan I would just like to point out this event is referenced by Snooker Scene from November 1993, page 8 it was called the Regal Scottish Challenge and it was sanctioned by the WPBSA so it should be included in the players finals sections. I am sure this can be tracked down 80.233.18.96 ( talk) 20:01, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi Rodney, I hope all is well. I seem to remember you mentioning that you had an interest in improving the articles of snooker players who had topped the world rankings. I was hoping to nominate Ray Reardon as a featured article candidate at some point this year, and sent it to GOCE, but the prose still isn't good enough for me to feel comfortable nominating it. (One example: 12/16 paras in the Professional career section start "Reardon...") Do you have enough interest and time to work on the article, and, assuming you are interested, to co-nominate it for FA once it's in a fit state? Regards BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 10:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
I wish I could write well– you don't do too bad you know!
Can't believe I once turned down the chance to play Reardon in an exhibition at Butlinsand
being steamrollered by Hendry at my local club– what impressive claims to fame those are! Anyway, I'm glad you like the edits so far. You're doing a good job of working with the sources, bibliography, etc. I had noticed that all the ISBNs needed partitioning, but you went and did that with a clever hyphenator tool, thanks for doing that! I still have a couple of sections to look at before the first copyediting pass is done. I will probably want to take another closer look through after that. Do you want me to look at John Spencer too while I'm at it? Rodney Baggins ( talk) 11:36, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't know why you said you don't know if it should be added. Plenty of events that have not been organised by world snooker have been added throughout the years. It does not have to be a WST tour even to be added they gave the sanction for their players to play in an event organised by the CBSA in China, as I said Snooker.org have listed the event on their site and that is the source and why it was added.

Hii sir,
Myself Dharmarajsinh and I am friend of Jayesh gohel1111 I need to ask you why did you removed that edit from wikipage of breast cancer , I know there is other page for it but it is also mentioned in that beside GIT it may also arise due to breast cancer , citations were not wrong , then you cannot just delete it , he just added these information because he is a part of medical wikiproject where he need to edit some medical topic related pages and as there are already much of information available itself he urged to added about Krukenberg's Tumour in short in relation to Breast Cancer there is nothing wrong it.
So please restore it back....I kind request to you sir. Rathod Dharmarajsinh ( talk) 10:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
But actually it is necessary to add atleast a paragraph,for the project, adding external link to Krukenberg's Tumour is good idea but it would be great if you grant us to re-add it and if possible tell under which subtopic we may write it..... Rathod Dharmarajsinh ( talk) 11:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
But actually it is necessary to add atleast a paragraph,for the projectSorry, but Wikipedia is the project that takes precedence here, not your school assignment. Rodney Baggins has presented a very clear case for why adding Krukenberg tumor to the breast cancer article is not constructive.

Hey. What you've written in my sandbox looks great! Mentioning the incident with Krystsina Tsimanouskaya somewhere in the last paragraph would probably be a good idea, too. Other than that, I think it looks good and is a big improvement. Good job! Kaffe42 ( talk) 11:00, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi Rodney, thanks for all your help getting the Snooker article up to snuff. Now at FA, it's fantastic work. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 20:31, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
Hi - I see you reverted my deletion of the "Airliner accidents and incidents caused by tailstrikes" category on this article. While I have no issue that a tailstrike occurred when the aircraft tried to take off early. I can't see how the tailstrike caused the accident, none of the reference even hint at such a situation. I suspect the creation of this category was naive and if anything a sensible category would have been "Airliner Accidents that involved tailstrikes" but that is not what it currently is and it has just been through a delete/rename discussion. Thanks Andrewgprout ( talk) 05:41, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
Hello! I'm writing an article for The Signpost about the Random Page Patrol wikiproject. We often do interviews with Wikiproject members, and I saw your name on the list of members. As the very newest project member, but still a long-time Wiki contributor, I'd love to ask about the project, why you joined it, and what you're looking forward to. I could drop a few questions for you below which you could answer in your own time over the next couple of weeks. Let me know - thank you! Ganesha811 ( talk) 19:26, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
@ Ganesha811: Please see my answers above. Thanks, Rodney Baggins ( talk) 19:41, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Just a note mate, hope you are well, had a look for something to source that Scottish Open title for John. Couldn't find a thing online, nor in BNA. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 19:04, 4 April 2022 (UTC)
A look through NewsBank and the British Newspaper Archive gives a link from the Aberdeen Press and Journal, 22 September 1993 page 20: "Snooker Regal Challenge (Motherwell Civic Centre) R.O'Sullivan (Eng) beat J.Higgins (Sco) 6–5." The Guardian link to the event is https://www.newspapers.com/clip/77201715/the-guardian/ . This clearly gives the result in the sports results section. I would think that this was the source that the person who added it tried to use but obviously they failed or did not know how to add it or just quoted the link. 80.233.86.99 ( talk) 11:22, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
No i am not the person you mentioned. It was given as a result in the Guardian and other papers so obviously it was not that minor or insignificant. I just gave links that people asked for. As you know well minor invitational events are on every players page and some events don't have a source at all. This event is also sourced in Snooker Scene in the November 1993 edition, page 8 80.233.86.99 ( talk) 11:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
It doesn't matter what personal opinions are on events. It does not matter even if it was a single match it can count if it was sanctioned. May i point out World finals were held as single challenge matches. The 1990 Centenary Challenge was played just between Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis should that be removed because only two players were involved ?. Should we base that on opinion or sources ?. The early Irish Masters were contested with just two players should they be removed no i don't think so?. There are dozens of events we could find like that 80.233.86.99 ( talk) 13:08, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
Lee you have no idea it was a showpiece match you say it can't be anything else how do you know that ?. There is no logic to that conclusion. We had two links yesterday from newspapers the Aberdeen Journal and the Guardian who both published the result. Newspapers do not print the results of exhibition matches or showpiece matches. Now we have a different link from the Daily Telegraph which also references the result, We know it was the Regal Scottish Challenge and now we find out that there was prize money for the event and it was shown live on Sky Sports and this is now referenced from a different source again. The newspapers would not print the result of an exhibition and the winner would not be getting any prize money if it was an exhibition. There would be no money involved in an exhibition event at all. As it was pointed it out yesterday it is no different to the 1990 centenary challenge between Hendry and Davis. To Betty Logan I would just like to point out this event is referenced by Snooker Scene from November 1993, page 8 it was called the Regal Scottish Challenge and it was sanctioned by the WPBSA so it should be included in the players finals sections. I am sure this can be tracked down 80.233.18.96 ( talk) 20:01, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
Hi Rodney, I hope all is well. I seem to remember you mentioning that you had an interest in improving the articles of snooker players who had topped the world rankings. I was hoping to nominate Ray Reardon as a featured article candidate at some point this year, and sent it to GOCE, but the prose still isn't good enough for me to feel comfortable nominating it. (One example: 12/16 paras in the Professional career section start "Reardon...") Do you have enough interest and time to work on the article, and, assuming you are interested, to co-nominate it for FA once it's in a fit state? Regards BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 10:26, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
I wish I could write well– you don't do too bad you know!
Can't believe I once turned down the chance to play Reardon in an exhibition at Butlinsand
being steamrollered by Hendry at my local club– what impressive claims to fame those are! Anyway, I'm glad you like the edits so far. You're doing a good job of working with the sources, bibliography, etc. I had noticed that all the ISBNs needed partitioning, but you went and did that with a clever hyphenator tool, thanks for doing that! I still have a couple of sections to look at before the first copyediting pass is done. I will probably want to take another closer look through after that. Do you want me to look at John Spencer too while I'm at it? Rodney Baggins ( talk) 11:36, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Rodney, hope you have been well! I'm thinking of taking Joe Davis to FAC with Benny, but I think the prose is currently in need of work - do you have a few minutes to do a small copyedit for me? No issues if you don't. :). Lee Vilenski ( talk • contribs) 22:07, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello good morning. I would like to ask you about the new lay out on Wikipedia. I have to say I am not really a fan of the layout. I noticed that in some snooker players profiles there is no drop down menu open and it looks very tidy, but i noticed on Ray Reardon's and Terry Griffith's pages the drop down menu is always open and it looks untidy. Is there a way of closing these drop down menus so all profiles look neat and tidy please ?. 31.200.129.208 ( talk) 11:52, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello Rodney, how are you ?. Can you add a runners-up finish to Higgins page please ?. Judd Trump beat Higgins 5-1 in the final of the Huangguoshu Open in china this morning. The event is included in the "other events" section on the 23/24 snooker season page. Can you add the result on Higgins page please ?. Thank you 92.251.146.50 ( talk) 16:04, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
Look at source 19. The tournament is listed on Snooker.org that is where it is sourced from. I got the final score on twitter and from live scoring from a chinese site. Snooker.org will have the result added soon I would say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.146.50 ( talk) 18:46, 5 August 2023 (UTC)
I don't know why you said you don't know if it should be added. Plenty of events that have not been organised by world snooker have been added throughout the years. It does not have to be a WST tour even to be added they gave the sanction for their players to play in an event organised by the CBSA in China, as I said Snooker.org have listed the event on their site and that is the source and why it was added. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.251.146.50 ( talk) 19:03, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Rodney, I was thinking of nominating John Spencer (snooker player) as a featured article candidate, once one of my current nominations is either passed or archived. Would you like to be a co-nominiator, as you were for the GA nomination? Is the article in a fit state to go forward as a FAC? Regards, BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 21:52, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi Benny, the FAC seems to have stalled and we got a coordinator note two days ago. What action would you normally take? Perhaps a message on the snooker project Talk page? Rodney Baggins ( talk) 10:32, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for reaching out to me regarding your proposed format changes for broadcasting-related timelines and you will see my reply on my talkpage.
I take your point re 'no event' entries but I have reinstated them into the tennis timeline, again to maintain consistency, not only for timelines that I created but also on many others across Wikipedia. I think the issue of 'no events' entries is a conversation worth happening and please feel free to add any further comments on my talkpage. Rillington ( talk) 12:40, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Hii sir,
Myself Dharmarajsinh and I am friend of Jayesh gohel1111 I need to ask you why did you removed that edit from wikipage of breast cancer , I know there is other page for it but it is also mentioned in that beside GIT it may also arise due to breast cancer , citations were not wrong , then you cannot just delete it , he just added these information because he is a part of medical wikiproject where he need to edit some medical topic related pages and as there are already much of information available itself he urged to added about Krukenberg's Tumour in short in relation to Breast Cancer there is nothing wrong it.
So please restore it back....I kind request to you sir. Rathod Dharmarajsinh ( talk) 10:46, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
But actually it is necessary to add atleast a paragraph,for the project, adding external link to Krukenberg's Tumour is good idea but it would be great if you grant us to re-add it and if possible tell under which subtopic we may write it..... Rathod Dharmarajsinh ( talk) 11:34, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
But actually it is necessary to add atleast a paragraph,for the projectSorry, but Wikipedia is the project that takes precedence here, not your school assignment. Rodney Baggins has presented a very clear case for why adding Krukenberg tumor to the breast cancer article is not constructive. If that doesn't go along with the directions given by your instructor, then it's your instructor's fault for not being familiar with Wikipedia guidelines. — C.Fred ( talk) 13:10, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
