Can someone add a picture in this article? It looks bland and boring. JonSnow.

Someone did. :-) — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 22:12, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edits, cleanup

[edit]

I edited the page and hopefully I did the right thing. JonSnow.

The information is useful, but quotes like the following--"Before Reyes and his compatriots came over to the U.S., no one here had seen anything like their kicking skill set."--need to be rewritten in NPOV or removed. Citations are required. Etc. A good start, but it needs work. - 24.91.74.91 03:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Aside from what 24.91.74.91 says above (with which I agree completely), it looks great to me as far as the content goes. The article needs a fair amount of cleanup, but aside from POV fixes and sourcing, it's mostly twiddles (formatting, turn the titles/wins list into a table, that sort of thing.) Good initial job!

Efren preferred cue...

[edit]

Does anyone know which cue brand does Efren play with? or the history of cue brands he used? I heard he played with a meucci for 9 years, but then he broke it.. Yet i couldn't find any article to validate such information. TarekChamma (talk) 13:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

According to this website, from the late 90's to present, Efren has been associated with Judd cues. I suggest you to take a look at that blog, maybe you can find some infos there. Cheers Joaquin008 (talk) 11:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Efren Reyes/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

==Untitled== This article is a Start-class article in WP:WPBIO terms, but remains a Stub in WP:CUE terms. It qualifies as High priority in WPBIO, as Reyes is one of the most pre-eminent people in the field and has been for quite some time, and is Top priority in CUE. If WPBIO thinks it's not High priority by their terms, it should definintely be Mid, not Low. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 00:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have a look at this once my GAN closes (qpq). Thanks! — CR4ZE (T • C) 04:52, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Just a small update—I'll be looking at this within the next few days. Please {{ping}} me if I haven't got anything to you by Monday. — CR4ZE (T • C) 12:59, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looking good. Thank you for archiving.
  • Not familiar with this topic so I will have to trust that all cites are to RS.
  • Spot-checked #31: published in 2019 not 2020, so perhaps a hard reading of ATT would mean the article text needs to reflect this.
  • Spot-checked #35: can you please point me to a quote that supports "Reyes is known for his highly unorthodox cueing technique"? Couldn't find anything upon a quick read-through.
    • I've changed this to how creative he is. I'd like to add something about his use of Backhand English (or Carabao); which is why he looks like he's playing every shot wrong, but I could only find [7] that really described it. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:14, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also spot-checked #8, #45, #47, #48: AGF on others.
Out of scope

I always offer suggestions to improve the article beyond the GA scope. You may consider these during or after the review (or not at all).

On hold for as long as needed. That's it for now. Thanks! — CR4ZE (T • C) 04:32, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for tending to my comments, Lee Vilenski. Just some follow-up as I pass this. I meant shortening Billy Incardona's quote as some parts of it seem a little redundant, but I'll leave that up to you. The ref examples cited weren't necessarily a CITEKILL (non-policy) example, however they could be bundled. Note that except for material highly likely to be CHALLENGED, 1-2 refs to RS would be more than enough. Spot-checked a few refs (#35, #36, #67) again. I copy-edited a few things on my own but you may not like some of my changes, so feel free to change as you see fit. I don't see anything else that I would need to hold this up on, so:

Why Player not Filipino Pool Player??

[edit]

is this an oversight? 67.133.97.99 (talk) 02:21, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The lede says "Filipino professional pool player". I'm unsure what's wrong. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 06:42, 21 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Favourite game?

[edit]

In a recent article, Reyes is quoted to have said that 15-ball rotation is his favourite game. As a newbie, I'm hesitant to edit that section, but the cited 3cushionbilliards.com opinion piece by a self-identified 3-cushion fan would surely have some incentive to claim that a carom discipline is Reyes' favourite. For what it's worth, the Inquirer article I found was itself written as part of the Inquirer's 2023 SEA games coverage, a competition at which Reyes is only participating in 3-cushion in. The Inquirer piece also quotes Reyes directly, which the 3cushionbilliards.com opinion piece doesn't.

One pocket

[edit]

Since Reyes is widely considered to be the greatest one pocket player of all time, one pocket should at least be mentioned in the first section. WikiAlto (talk) 00:37, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I added mention of one-pocket to the lead paragraph. We already have various sources in the article pertaining to this game, but someone might want a citation in the lead itself (though cf. WP:LEADCITE: we really should only put citations in the lead for claims likely to be surprising/challenged, e.g. the "often considered the greatest player" claim).  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:49, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is a photograph with two people. Which one is Reyes?Kdammers (talk) 03:19, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Left. I fixed the caption. No idea who the other guy is. Might just be a tournament organizer or something.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  05:44, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
