[edit] References

This page needs to have its referances fixed. Use <ref>{{cite web}}</ref> and {{reflist}}. Also remeber that citations do not belong in the infobox --CrazyChip 23:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I'd add that it's preferable to use <ref name="SomethingUniqueHere">{{cite web}}</ref>, so that each reference can be easily re-used if needed. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 23:24, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

As i added a citation to the article i had to implement the correct listing and ref style. The old ref list i moved here. Do NOT copy this list back to the page. citations should be used as described above by SMcCandlish

Old ref list:

• Official Mark Selby Snooker Profile
• World Eight Ball Pool Federation latest News
• Selby Prepares for Ebdon Spectacle
• Selby Beats Ebdon in Second Round Clash --CrazyChip 00:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

My updates to reflect the new career winnings were rolled back, as the figure really is career earnings as of the beginning of the 2006/2007 season. Fair enough, but perhaps this should be noted in the box? (on profile page it says "(up to start of 2006/07 season)") Another thing: didn't he have a break >139 this tournament?

Please, someone edit the bit about Mark's personal life as I'm a new person here and wasn't sure about how to add this to his page :( Also, I have no idea how to cite the source as these facts were mentioned during the final of the World Championship yesterday (Eurosport, Russian version).

[edit] Family history

From a Channel 4 documentary, it appears that a close relative of The Elephant Man married a Mr. Selby. As both Mark and Joseph are from Leicester, I wonder if there is a connection? --MartinUK 23:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
