To be fair it's only the career prize money that they are tagged, so I doubt it would be able to get as far as GANR. I don't personally think we have a reliable source that covers this up to date information, the best we do have is the occasional source that is a {{as of}} deal, which I'd be happier using. However, we usually just get people updating it with OR, calculating this by hand. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

etc. as opposed to the numbers next to the names. I'm super neutral on this, and happy to make the changes, but wanted to open the floor to some other users. I'm happy to work on a script to do this full sale across all of our articles if deemed suitable. I think this is likely better grammatically than what we currently do, but it's not really my area. If no one has any issues, I'm happy to encorporate.:) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

I'm neutral too. The commas force a certain spacing between the numbers and the semi-colon does likewise for the number and name. I suspect the brain naturally finds it easier to separate a number and a word than it does to separate a long list of numbers, but I can't see any harm in adding one.

Hi, personally I'd prefer to use the spaced en dash as an interruptor, like so:
I always read en-dash as being an interuptor as in separate information, rather than both parts being needed (as that's what the semi-colon does). It's the same reason why I wouldn't want to see:
Etc. But then, also do we even need something really obvious to distinguish between the numbers and the words? Difficult for me. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

If the options are (1) nothing (2) semi-colon (3) en-dash, personally I'd go for 3,1,2. In some ways it's a bit odd having the name last, but it avoids the need for a table or similar, I suppose.
