Just some copy tweaks, really. Hold to Lee Vilenski. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:41, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Copy changes

• The UK Seniors Championship is an amateur snooker tournament first held in 2019. Looks like this should read 2017?
• The winner of the 2018 UK Seniors Championship, Ken Doherty did not appear at the event. Complete the appositive by adding a comma after Doherty
• The oldest man in the field, Cliff Thorburn Same. In the same sentence, remove the comma before "but" (User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences.
• His opponent, Patrick Wallace, however A lot of kludgy commas here but can't avoid them. Perhaps However, his opponent, Patrick Wallace,
• Michael Judge defeated Willie Thorne also on a deciding frame Comma after Thorne
• The final quarter-final Judge defeated James Wattana 3–1 I presume a missing "In" needs to be added to the front.
• After the match, Judge called White his "hero" and winning the event was "a dream come true". a missing "said" before "winning"
• The results from the event is shown below, players in bold denote match winners. Change "is" to "are" and the comma to a semicolon.
  • All done. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:40, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Spot checks

Earwig turns up no issues. I do note Ref 3 could use more metadata.

• [4] (snooker.org): Most things check out, but I don't see Jimmy White's 104 here. It is mentioned in [11], though, so it's a matter of adding another citation. Why is this ref listed as being in Norwegian?
  • It's also in 13, which is cited there. I've removed the Lang parameter. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:42, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
• [9]: Match information is provided.

I take it the dead link at [7] is unavoidable?

• • Fraid so, I can't find it anywhere online. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 07:43, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

• ... that for getting the highest break in the 2019 UK Seniors Championship snooker player Michael Judge was awarded a watch worth £1,000?

  • I've withdrew my nomination that caused this QPQ review, so I won't be proceeding with reviewing this. Howard the Duck (talk) 12:35, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
• New reviewer needed. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:19, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
  • New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced (as is every paragraph). No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found, no maintenance templates found. QPQ done and image properly licensed. Good to go.--Launchballer 16:27, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
• @Onegreatjoke and Launchballer: the source for ALT0 doesn't say Michael Judge was awarded the watch. It says that the person with the highest break "WILL BE presented" with the watch. Plus, seniorsnooker.com isn't a WP:RS. It describes itself as "a fan blog". -- RoySmith (talk) 02:00, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
  • A typosquatting fan blog, no less - I followed its source, [7], and didn't realise that seniorsnooker.com was different from seniorssnooker.com, which appears to be the Championship's official website. (Might have helped if I'd have actually followed the seniorssnooker.com link.) https://seniorssnooker.com/judge-victorious-at-rokit-uk-seniors-snooker-championship/ would work if the hook were to lose its last two words.--Launchballer 02:22, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

@Launchballer and RoySmith: How about "... that for getting the highest break in the 2019 UK Seniors Championship snooker player Michael Judge was awarded a watch?"Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:52, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

What's the source for that? -- RoySmith (talk) 17:55, 25 November 2022 (UTC)

RoySmith Does that source work? SL93 (talk) 20:19, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I missed the blog mention from RoySmith above. Marking for closure as no movement. SL93 (talk) 20:33, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
