Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures edit

  • It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
  • It contains copyright infringements -
  • It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
  • It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Links edit

Prose edit

Lede edit

  • No need to link the WP:CURRENCY. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:05, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Worth mentioning its a 32-player tournament with a qualification round? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:05, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
    • I've reworked the lead to be a bit more like the article for 1985. Let me know anything that needs changing. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:18, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • £90,000 would have been awarded to a player making a maximum break. - avoid starting a sentence with a symbol/number Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:14, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The top 16 players in the world rankings automatically qualified for the event, the remaining 16 players coming through the qualification rounds - should probably give some info on what the qualification consisted of. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:14, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • The Benson and Hedges Snooker Year commented that "The final was never a classic but merely emphasized Davis's superiority and grip on the world of professional snooker." - books don't speak. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:14, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
    • Amended, let me know if you have a better phrasing than what I've used. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:18, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Everything else looks grand.Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:14, 3 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
    • Thanks for the constructive review, Lee Vilenski. There may be some further work needed as I made a couple of other changes - particularly to the lead as noted above. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 13:18, 4 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

General edit

  • Benson and Hedges Snooker Year - give the author Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:11, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
    • Most of the chapters in the book have no byline. The Editor, Terry Smith, thanks quite a few people who have made "invaluable contributions" to the book, but I see that he alone holds the copyright. Not sure whether it's appropriate to credit him as the author in these circumstances - what do you think? BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:21, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • [58][59][60][61] - bundle. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:11, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
    • Rather than that, I've used a single source that verifies all the info here. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:21, 9 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • No qualifying centuries? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:11, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Just need to add what the qualification looked like in the Overview section. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:11, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
