Dubai?

[edit]

Anyone who knows, why he's moved to Dubai - is it because of tax reasons, the weather or something else? --85.82.143.44 00:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In a BBC interview he said one of the reasons for moving to Dubai was because "I think the taxes are too high here". Melody Perkins (talk) 05:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps all those things? I think we also need his wife's sirname, it looks a bit weird having just "Peter Ebdon's married to Deborah". -- Drumnbach 11:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

match against Ronnie O'Sullivan in the 2005 World Championship

[edit]

His shot times have slipped from around 23 seconds to over 30 seconds and this has brought some criticism, particularly his match against Ronnie O'Sullivan in the 2005 World Championship, in which he took 5 minutes to complete a break of 12. These ponderous performances have lacked free flowing breaks and Ebdon has sometimes struggled for victories.

The last sentence makes it appear as though Ebdon's slow play in that match was a bad idea. I (and others at the time) was under the impression that it was a psychological tactic used by Ebdon against O'Sullivan, and one that worked very well. O'Sullivan's temperament is the weakest aspect of his game, and Ebdon’s slow break times put him under the illusion of losing heavily (because he was away from the table for so long). -- Drumnbach 11:36, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I find the following ok, He enjoyed a good return of form in the World Open, where he beat Steve Davis 3-1, Fergal O'Brien 3-2, Liu Song 3-2, and Martin Gould 3-2 before losing against Ronnie O'Sullivan 1-3. Anyway, he reached his first semi-final since the 2009 China Open and refound a place in the top 16 in the provisional rankings but Armbust, why did you stamp on my edit RE Liang Wenbo and yet allow this to stay? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.216.169.55 (talk) 13:37, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nicknames

[edit]

I've removed all the nicknames from the infobox. Some were rather implausible. Please mind the WP:BLP and do not restore them without a reliable inline ref. GregorB (talk) 21:15, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Will (ideally) review this within a week.  LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 03:01, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for agreeing to take a look at this one for me LunaEatsTuna. Ebdon is such a fascinating player for being the butt of many a joke, but also a very successful player that gets forgotten about. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 13:25, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just a quick heads-up that I've been told offwiki Luna doesn't have internet access for the next few days, but will be able to resume the reviews after. Vaticidalprophet 16:01, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No drama. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 17:15, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lee Vilenski @Vaticidalprophet @LunaEatsTuna "the next few days" has stretched into 10 weeks. Luna, are you going to be able to complete this review? RoySmith (talk) 20:44, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am bowing my head in shame as I admit I forgot all about the existence of this review!! Yes, I'll finish it early tomorrow morning, around ~one a.m. 7 November in my time zone (UTC).  LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 20:56, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
my mistake also, I've been beyond busy, pretty much dropped all Wiki items. Thanks for continuing to look at this Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 15:15, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Lee Vilenski: review done with comments below; over to you! Feel free to take your time as there are no time restraints on GAs nor do I mind myself.  LunaEatsTuna (💬)— 01:35, 22 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No drama. I'll get to it as soon as I can :). Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 14:49, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
