The review in summary: Read User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences. This is almost a GA. Hold to BennyOnTheLoose—ping me when done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 04:12, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Copy changes

Lead

The event attracted around 1,500 spectators, and was televised, with a forty-minute programme on ITV being broadcast on Christmas Eve, 24 December 1977. Fagan won the tournament, by defeating Higgins by 4 frames to 2 in the final. The first comma in each of these sentences should be removed: User:Sammi Brie/Commas in sentences. The former sentence is duplicated in "Background" with the same issue.

Summary

Fagan won the first frame, but lost the second Same

Fagan escaped from the snooker successful by hitting a red ball by hitting the cue ball Is this intended?

I reworked this part. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:27, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

after failing to pot the yellow ball when only the colours were left, and leaving it in a position close to the pocket I think this comma can go
Fagan equalised with a 58 break in the second frame, and took the lead Remove comma
Fagan exhibited high-quality safety play, and won the frame Remove comma
The reporter for Snooker Scene magazine wrote that [quote], and praised Remove comma. I might also de-capitalize "winning" in the quote.

Amended per the four points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:27, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Spot checks

Normally, I would do a spot check, but the nature of the sources and their location makes such impossible. Many are offline or digital archive sources to which I do not have access. However, the sources make sense in context.

Many thanks, Sammi Brie. Let me know if anything else is required. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:31, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
