John Parrott

Hi Rodney, hope you are well and having a great holiday.

I've been doing a bit of work on John Parrott (eventually I'd like all of our World Champions to be GA status), but I haven't written an article from basically scratch for a while. Could I ask you to give me a hand with some of the formatting of the refs and maybe a cleanup of my prose when you have a few minutes (no rush, can happen whenever). I'm still working on the end of his career, but I've put some things together earlier in his career which I know can be written better.

Best wishes, Lee Vilenski ^(talk • contribs) 22:23, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Vilenski: Of course, I'd be more than willing to help you with that after Christmas. I have absolutely no objections to you enlisting my help with any of the player bios you're working on, so feel free to ask any time! Very pleased with your Paul Hunter FA btw...

Have a merry Christmas!! Best wishes, Rodney Baggins (talk) 23:06, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adding myself to the queue please! I finally got around to Joe Johnson (snooker player) again, and have (re)started on Alex Higgins. Hopefully the Johnson article doesn't need too much work now. Any thoughts on structure of the Higgins one would be welcome - I'll add some more clippings instead of offline sources. Merry Christmas! Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:16, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BennyOnTheLoose: Have been meaning to reply, but a little thing called Christmas got in the way and I've just been dabbling with pending changes in my drunken stupor. I remember we were working on Joe Johnson back in Aug/Sept and it kind of got forgotten about. I'll revisit, do a bit of copyediting and give you some further comments/suggestions if you like. Then, I can do some work on John Parrot and Alex Higgins in parallel for you guys. I do want to do more wikipedia editing in the new year, despite the fact I'm having eyesight problems which I'm sure is exacerbated by too much screen time. Might go down the snooker club again tomorrow, while my son's home for the holidays. Speak soon. Rodney Baggins (talk) 19:11, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like fun! I got a new cue for Christmas, so I need some time to get to the club. Hopefully I only suck slightly less than usual. Lee Vilenski ^(talk • contribs) 19:42, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

Hi Rodney Baggins, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Elli (talk | contribs) 17:37, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much Elli, I was beginning to think I was being ignored for some reason and was about to withdraw my request! Anyway, I'll take a look at the new page patrol guidance and the new pages feed and, time permitting, try to get involved with the review process. Thanks again.
