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.

Prose

Lede

• ranking professional snooker tournament - not a big fan of this wording, I think you can omit ranking here, and link it when you mention it later. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:24, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:09, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

General

• I think the overview/format should really have some sort of mention of the sessions, and how they work. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• I've had a go at this; suggestions for improvement welcome. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:10, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Overview doesn't comment on the prior championship. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Added a mention - is more needed? BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:10, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Qualifying could do with being split up a bit better in terms of paragraphs. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• I added a few details. The split is now between the last qualifying round, and earlier rounds. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 19:15, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Is it worth mentioning what rank Alex Higgins was, as we commented that he won an event shortly before this. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Added. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 19:15, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• 7-4 - might be worth looking through or running the MOS:DASH script. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• For some reason the script didn't pick this one up. Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:18, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• eventually knocked out 4–13 - defeated. Knocked out is something that happens in boxing. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:18, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Could we move the Parrott image to the semi-finals (where he won), and then put in a Steve Davis one for the final? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 19:15, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• red ball with his cue stick - might need some glossary links. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Added links. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:18, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• IIRC, didn't Parrott have to do some sort of exhibition as the match finished early? Certainly worth a mention if sources say about it. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Added. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 19:42, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• whilst 1989 proved to be the last world final reached by Davis - just say this was the last final for Davis. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:18, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
