Gosh, thanks! I'll fit them all in, have a look at the rest of the entry generally and then you must come over and look at it before I send it back, it's your work after all and you should be happy with the way it looks. I've glanced over it and to be honest I can't see there being that much to change, although it might be nice to have a few subheadings, no more than three or four. Any suggestions?

I'll try and think of some headings - I agree that there should be some, but the reason I left them out is that I couldn't think of anything beyond really banal stuff like "Early Years" and so on...

Hi Sarah - Maybe 'Early Years' before the paragraph that begins "Bill took up snooker at the age of nine, but turned professional comparatively late" - although if you can think of a better way of saying 'Early Years' please go for it!
I'd like a header saying '"This is a needle match and I was hoping Bill was going to sew it up for us."' above the paragraph that begins "In the following year, with Cliff Thorburn and Kirk Stevens, he helped Canada to progress to the final of the World Team Cup"
Perhaps one saying 'Bill in his Prime' above the paragraph that begins "Werbeniuk reached a career high - eighth in the world rankings - during the 1983-84 season."
And one saying '"I got a letter one day saying don't bother to turn up because you're not playing"' above the one that begins "Eventually, concerned about the effect of his lager intake on his health, Werbeniuk's doctors recommended that he switch to the beta-blocker Inderal."
How about that?

That looks fine. I'll try and do them asap but I've got my A-Level French oral this week and it's taking over my life! Next week should be much nicer

Good work! 
The only thing is that I gave you the wrong lager link... it's A266915, not A266195.
That aside, I'd say it's ready to go off to the editors, and thanks!
