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

• No short description? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Should we not have the runner-up in the infobox? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
  • The infobox does not currently allow the runner-up to be included MWright96 (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• "It was the first and only edition of the competition" - why do we link to a 2007 event in the infobox then? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Because it is what the tournament was renamed to MWright96 (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• 16 Americans and 16 from the PDC - are we to assume there are no Americans on the PDC tour, and I think we need to say that the players were on the PDC tour, right now it suggests that they were from the organisation. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• made a checkout of 161 in leg seven of his first round loss to qualifier and American number one John Kuczynski, the highest in the tournament. - perhaps reword to say made the highest checkout of the event, a 161 in leg.... Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:57, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

General

• since North America was possibly a large market. - should probably go a sentence later, as the rest of the sentence has nothing to do with America. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• how were the seeds chosen? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
  • There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• There were 12 places decided by a series of qualifiers in the United States held between 4 February and 19 April, and the remaining 4 spots were decided in a competition which took place at the Mohegan Sun Resort on 19 May - does that not mean that the 16 places were all chosen by qualifying competitions? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Matchroom sport currently run an event with the same name, is this not the same? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
  • It is not the same tournament as the World Series of Darts MWright96 (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• As Hearn ran the PDC, was this event in no way associated with Matchroom Sport? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
  • No MWright96 (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Total: $300,000 - maybe a note is worthy here saying this total was if the event was won by a PDC player. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Entrants to each of the 12 qualifiers had to be aged 21 or over and be a citizen of the United States. - was this not also a thing for the remaining 4 qualifiers? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
  • Correct MWright96 (talk) 20:10, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Is there no suitable images for this article? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• on the double 10 ring - this might need more explaination than just the link. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Lloyd won 7–2 over Isen Veljic - no he didn't. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Jenkins made a maximum score - this isn't exactly in the glossary. Are we talking about a 180? I thought these were more common than this. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• All four quarter-finals were played to the best-of-17 legs took place on 21 May - as the best-of-17 legs, and took place on 21 May. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Semi-finals and final - the section is big enough to have sections for both. The bit for the final is as big as the quarters. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• The first two legs were shared before Part led 2–1 and then Kuczynski 4–2, which included a checkout of 161 from Part in leg seve - this should probably mention this was the highest of the tournament. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• The Main Draw should have some prose mentioning that it is the draw for the event. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
• Is there no highest checkouts section? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:34, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
