I'll take a look at this one, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 09:29, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Intial review

Lead

[edit]
  • Should we be using a dash for the date ranges rather than simply to?
  • "win this third world championship", this is only the second title of Selby's mentioned unless I'm missing something? Or is it meant to be "his third"?
  • "winning the highest break prize of £10,000", specify the televised prize otherwise it reads a bit odd when Gary Wilson is mentioned in the following section.

Overview

[edit]

Seeding and qualifying rounds

[edit]
  • The last paragraph is pretty short and could probably be added to the previous one given that Wilson is in both. Along the lines of, "Wilson was one of five debuting players, along with..."? No need to link him twice either way.

First round

[edit]
  • "played from 15–20 April 2017", hyphen rather than wording issue again?
  • "O'Sullivan reached the second round in 18 out of 20 events since 1997", this sentence seems a little off, a mix of present and past tense. Look at rewording to something like, "O'Sullivan's victory was the 18th time he had reached the second round in the previous 20 events since 1997"?
  • "Peter Ebdon, 2002 champion, appeared at the Crucible for the 24th time since first qualifying in 1992 played Stuart Bingham", again tense seems slightly off. Appearing rather than appeared and a comma after 1992?

Quarter-finals

[edit]

General

[edit]
  • There are a few repeat links throughout, for example Marco Fu (Second round and Quarter-finals), Rory McLeod (First and Second round) and Kyren Wilson (Second round and Quarter-finals).

Nothing too major I don't think. Placed on hold for now until the above issues are addressed. Kosack (talk) 15:31, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Kosack - Pretty sure I got it all. I don't mind changing the dates issue raised above, but I was recently told the current is better. I have no feelings either way. Hope that's enough. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 18:16, 7 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing I can really complain about apart from that, I notice you've undertaken a number of other changes based on previous GAs which have taken care of one or two other points I would have brought up so nice work. I'll defer to your judgement on the date issue if it's been discussed elsewhere. Nice piece of work, promoting. Kosack (talk) 19:13, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
