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.

I'll take a look at this one, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 20:44, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi Kosack, thanks for taking some time out and checking this one out. Let me know your feedback. I just did a quick copyedit on the article, as I realise I missed a few things - hope that's ok. Congratulations on the sysop bit, btw. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 21:15, 8 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi Lee, yeah that's no problem, less for me to review! Thanks for that. Here's my initial review:
England is probably a bit of an WP:OVERLINK here and in the infobox.
I always thought infobox links and things in the captions for pictures etc were exempt and should always be linked. No worries, I've removed from the text. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:38, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
"A notable absentee was former Masters champion Neil Robertson", maybe point out he missed out by falling outside the top 16 (which is what I assume happened?)
He actually had to fall out of the top 17. He was ranked at 20 in the world prior to this tournament. Ironically, had the event been held at any other time of the season, Robertson would have made the cut. I've made a slight rewording Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:39, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
All of the first round matches are mentioned here apart from Higgins/McGill. Is that deliberate?
Nope, I'm not sure how I missed it. There's nothing in the MOS that states you have to mention every match (especially as other tournaments have 128 competitors), but I'll add a bit on it. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:37, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Good point but with only eight matches it seems odd to exclude one. Plus, Higgins features fairly often after that so it helps the time line I think. Kosack (talk) 19:08, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Do we know what the crowd was doing to antagonise Allen so much?
Just yelling. It's actually a surprisingly common thing. Nothing I can source, just that Allen was offput by some O'Sullivan fans. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:41, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
In the same way that you use broadcast rather than broadcasted, should it be simulcast rather than simulcasted?
Broadcast and broadcasted, regardless of what anyone will say, are identically acceptable in UK English. I'll defer on the second, but I'll change. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:43, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Ref 22 is the Daily Star which is a bit questionable as a reliable source. Any chance of replacing that with something else?
Yeah, the information isn't particularly difficult to source. The BBC ref says the same thing. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Ref 35 runs afoul of WP:ALLCAPS so drop the title to normal case.
Worldsnooker.com does this all the time. Bane of my referencing. Fixed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Other than that, the refs are formatted immaculately.
Nice article overall, very little to complain about. Placed on hold for now until the above issues are addressed. Kosack (talk) 10:09, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your quick review, Kosack, I've made most of the changes above, I hope this is suitable. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 16:53, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
Nice work, I'm happy with the changes made and this article meets the necessary criteria for GA in my opinion. Happy to promote. Kosack (talk) 19:10, 9 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
