I'll look at this one.

Assessment

• ...two years later, winning… - I would replace this with ‘in’.

Added

• Link Karl Boyes (pool player), not Karl Boyes.

Done

• Remove duplicate links 2003 (2003 Mosconi Cup); straight pool.

Removed

• Van den Berg lives in the Netherlands,… - consider making this a new paragraph.

Done

• Expand the Championships section into prose, as at present it's just a list of links.

That's how it should be - it's not a list of links, it's a list of championship. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:20, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

• The photograph of Van den Berg was taken when he was 28, (12 years ago). I would replace it if possible.

I have no such free image. The bane of my life is even getting single images of even more well known players.

• In this Germanic name, the family name is van den Berg, not Berg. - I would have this as a note, not as a hatnote.

I don't agree really - this is quite common across Wikipedia.

• Unlink Amsterdam (MOS:OL).

More WP:GEOLAND than OL (unless I can't see it linked anywhere else) but sure. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:20, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

• Ref 8 (azbilliards) doesn’t appear to verify the text. The archived version requires a subscription, so I would add a template (assuming the archive version is OK, I couldn't open it).

• • Removed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:20, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

• Refs 1, 6 & 7 (billiardapps.com) can’t be reached by my laptop,

Yeah, the Euro Tour website recently destroyed their old website. I've been chatting to them, they are hoping to have it back up later this year. If the archives aren't suitable I'll get additional citatons. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:20, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

• Refs 10 & 15 (propool) are in Russian. I would amend the sources the reference to say this.

Done

• ...tying one in 2006… - the refs should be in numerical order. (This could be my personal preference, if so please ignore if you wish.)

Strictly speaking reforder isn't a part of the GA criteria, but I have fixed this. :).

• Ref 23 (azbilliards) is a dead link.

Fixed. They also recently updated the website, so some links no longer linked to the correct spot. I have fixed.

• Refs 25 & 26 (azbilliards) seem to be the same as each other.

Combined.Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:20, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

I understand and agree with all your points, the article is in good shape. Amitchell125 (talk) 20:43, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
