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

• 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. -

Prose

Lede

• was a professional non-ranking snooker team tournament - I'm not a big fan of referring to it as a team tournament in this way, we can describe the individual rules later. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:49, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Removed MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• It was the only non-ranking World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association team competition in the 2000–01 snooker season and the final edition of the Nations Cup - only non-ranking, or only non-ranking team, or only team event?
  • Rewritten MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• might be worth saying it was the third and final Nations Cup. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:49, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Added MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• I think the lede would benefit from a little bit more about Chamberlain, and that there was a playoff. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:49, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Added mention of Chamberlain; there was no playoff. MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• "The victory was a repeat of Scotland's win over the ROI in the 1996 World Cup", I don't know what this means. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:49, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

General

• No Century breaks? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately not MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• only non-ranking World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association team event is a weird one. Was there any ranking team events this season? It reads weird as if there should be some seperation from being a team event, and being a non-ranking event. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Reworded MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• Should it not be "the Hexagon" per WP:THE? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • The captalised "The" in "the Hexagon" is part of the article on Wikipedia and elsewhere MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• best-of-7 frames match - best-of-seven. - happens a few times Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• A total of eight teams of three players each divided into two round-robin groups of four competed in the Nations Cup - Maybe The Nations Cup comprised eight national teams consisting of three players each. These teams were split into two round-robin groups of four for better flow. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• Each team was seeded with the defending champions England seeded first and Scotland seeded second - seeded, seeded, seeded. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
• Could we link together the summaries into one section, and have group/knockout as subsections? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Done MWright96 (talk) 18:45, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
