Internal pages: Something like: [2][3]). Such pages are not fluff, but can be good places to find recruits for the project, possibly including subject-matter experts, especially if cross-referenced to the project. Also, Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cue sports (cf. [4][5][6]).
Create timelines, both textual and graphical. See link for various guidelines and examples. We need an overall one for cue sports generally, and more specific ones as we drill down into more specific topics (timeline of nine-ball, timeline of Willie Mosconi's career, etc.).
Form sections: Exhibition game needs section on cue sports; could later form a new article with "Main article..." xref to it. What other general articles need cue sports sections?
Images: improve articles with images from commons; create pics and add them to commons as GFDL/CC-by/PD.
Add: {{Sport overview}} to main articles of cue games that are real sports; medal table tags where they apply (see Ding Junhui for example).
Insert: Cue sports events (tournament results, etc.) into the "year in sports" categories (e.g. 1965 in sports), using {{subst:Cue sports heading}} if that year doesn't have one yet.

The phrase "pro-am" has been removed and replaced from the article a couple of times. Looking back at some sources, The Newcastle Evening Chronicle, on 16 October 1962 (page 14), refers to the tournament as "the amateur-professional knock-out snooker handicap." The Aberdeen Evening Express for 22 December 1962 (page 2) has it in the television listings as "amateur v professional knock-out handicap". The Daily Mirror (10 November 1962, page 10) uses the phrase "a highlight of this amateur-professional match will be...". They may not use the specific phrase "pro-am" but I believe they provide further support for that term, alongside the sources in the article that verify it was a tournament that both professionals and amateurs competed in. Are there any reasons not to use the description "pro-am" in the article? Regards BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:15, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
No, Pro-Am is entirely accurate. Historically amateurs were given precedence over professionals in this regard, but modern usage is simply the reverse. wjematherplease leave a message... 22:51, 21 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
