Hi all, 2019 Champion of Champions and Terry Griffiths are both listed at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/November 2025. Please feel free to improve them before they hit the main page! Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 23:53, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

I'd forgotten about that CoC article. Might need a touch up. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:33, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

@BennyOnTheLoose @Lee Vilenski I made some minor edits the other day but I'm sure it could use more sets of eyes! HurricaneHiggins (talk) 14:31, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

In the century breaks section of the C of C article, maybe total reads better than series? A series of 20 century breaks were made during the competition. I was going to change it but I'm not keen on altering an article that's been through a featured review. Canary757 (talk) 14:37, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

I agree with you @Canary757, total sounds better than series to me too. HurricaneHiggins (talk) 18:54, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

It appears Channel 5 are not going to become the broadcaster of anything in snooker under the previous announcement, because a new announcement has been made that ITV signed a one-year extension to continue being broadcaster for all the ITV Snooker events: https://championofchampionssnooker.co.uk/itv-and-matchroom-sign-extension-for-snooker-and-darts-events/

we will need to update 2025 British Open and the 2025 Champion of Champions articles to account for this debacle. — CitroenLover (talk) 12:59, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

Not long after i posted this talkpage message, the article has been taken down. Unclear if thats because the information is incorrect or if its been posted too early. CitroenLover (talk) 14:47, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

There was article last year: https://www.wst.tv/news/2024/september/24/itv-and-matchroom-sign-extension-for-snooker-and-darts-events/ with exactly the same title. Nigej (talk) 16:23, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

@Nigej Interestingly enough, someone pointed this out to me elsewhere. I don't really know what to think.... I can't imagine that someone from Matchroom just decided to troll everyone by finding that old announcement, copy/pasting it and badging it as a new story for publishing today.... -- CitroenLover (talk) 19:24, 29 October 2025 (UTC)

I might suggest that individual tournament articles should say only which broadcasters covered that specific event. We already have a dedicated Timeline of snooker on UK television article that can be used to track the kinds of changes being made here. HurricaneHiggins (talk) 00:36, 30 October 2025 (UTC)

Banned user User:DooksFoley147 has reappeared as User:Sisao25 (previously also User:Kentbobo and plenty of IP addresses geolocating to Ireland). Clearly the same person with interests in Snooker, Golf, Darts, Football (particularly Arsenal FC), the band Oasis. Also shows the same style of editing, adding trivial events and then aggressively complaining when they get removed. Nigej (talk) 16:04, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

@Nigej, can you please make a report about this at WP:SPI so we can handle it? Thanks. -- asilvering (talk) 18:47, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Can do. Nigej (talk) 18:49, 2 October 2025 (UTC)

Someone that very much appears to be this user is now editing Alex Higgins. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:55, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

If this is the case, can one of ye file a case at SPI with the evidence? I have no idea who this user is but since this disruption has continued for a month after this was filed (including at darts articles, where I keep seeing this editor in edit wars) and the editor is still not blocked (nor any sockpuppet case filed) I said I'd ask. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 22:46, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Nigej, pinging you re the above since I see the editor is still doing it as of yesterday, and a block would be a better solution than having to continually run around reverting the user. — ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 18:02, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
