List of ranking champions

It's placed as being 11th on all time lost of ranking tournament championship, but this only includes "major" titles. That should be explained in the text, as it isn't true for all ranking championships as Judd Trump would have him beat.

Continental Airlines London Masters

IP 92.251.206.254 made an edit that I disagreed with so I reverted it with explanation. The IP objected because he/she wrongly inferred that I was accusing them of being "in doubt" about the difference between the longstanding Dafabet Masters and the shortlived London Masters, when I was merely pointing out that if the reader is in doubt then they can easily follow the associated links to check the tournaments. Personally I think it's unnecessary to include the sponsor of the London Masters in the table because the entry should ideally match the article title and common name of the event. Do any other editors have an opinion on this? The same change has been made to the Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis articles.

Regardless of whether or not the original edit makes it through... using the BRD process, you make a bold edit, someone comes along and reverts your edit, you then discuss the matter on the Talk page if you object to the revert. You do not revert the revert! It's all very well being bold but if there is an objection to your change then you should respectfully seek a mini consensus on the point in question. I have now restored the page to the version before the original edit was made, but if the IP proceeds to try imposing the edit for a 3rd time I shall have no option but to report him/her to admin, as I will not enter into an edit war.

yeah, this sort of thing has been suggested before (using sponsors as disambiguation) and I wholeheartedly disagree. If there was a confusion between the London Masters, and the Masters then a {{efn}} note would cover this better. (Something like - not to be confused with the Masters.)
