· · ·

Copyvio check: Some overlap of common phrases with sources. Mostly OK but I think the following could be reworked: "breaks of 86 and 53 to move within a frame of victory"; final-frame decider at the Welsh Open, more than any other player in the history of the event."; "missed a red with the rest"

General comments and sources

  • There are a few duplicate links: snooker, 2022 Turkish Masters, James Cahill.
  • I amended some hyphens to dashes, and did a little general formatting, with the help of scripts.
  • I amended a couple of refs.
  • Some refs are out of order, e.g. [65][66][63]; [10][6] - to be reviewed after other amendments.
  • Shouldn't flagathlete be used at the first mention of each player in the draw? I know they are used in qualifying results, which were chronologically first, but these aren't first in the article.
  • No harm in adding "Numbers in brackets denote seeded players" in the qualifying section, I think.
  • The qualifying results look messy to me. I prefer boxes, but not sure if this is a manual of style issue or something that there is a consensus around; might be fine as it is.
  • The three rte.ie refs are all missing the publisher/website.
  • Inconsistency between livescores.worldsnookerdata.com refs format
  • Inconsistency between wst.tv refs format
  • "Selby & Zhao knocked out of Welsh Open" - mising publication date and author.
  • "Jordan Brown beats Ronnie O'Sullivan in the final frame to win 2021 Welsh Open" - missing author
  • "Champion Brown loses in first round" - title differs from source, missing publication date. (Which can be worked out from archive date, or got from the live version of the page)
  • "Welsh Open 2022 snooker final LIVE – Joe Perry stuns Judd Trump to become second oldest ranking winner of all time" - missing author. Title of the page is different, probably changed since it was accessed.
  • I checked three Eurosport refs and all were missing authors.
    • I looked at ref 22 and author has not been added, so this probably applies to others too. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 12:01, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm happy with the term "straightforward pot", "easy black" and "lax safety shot" etc. in context here, but guess they might raise questions if this went to FAC.

Format

  • "The Welsh Open began as a ranking tournament in 1992.[1] The 2022 tournament took place" is a bit of a jump.
  • "All matches were the best of seven frames..." - as the 2021 tournament has just been mentioned, maybe something like "For the 2022 edition, all matches were the best of seven frames..."
  • "will receive a bonus" - suggest rewording this so no-one has to remember to come back and change it later

Early rounds

  • "The held-over qualifying matches" - I think "held-over" needs a bit of explanation here and in the lead.
  • "O'Sullivan's involvement in the European Masters final on 27 February.[14] O'Sullivan won the match 4–0" - Could be clearer that it was at the Welsh Open he won 4–0, not in the European Masters final.
  • Is there a suitable wikilink target for "tour card"?
  • "but made history as the first woman" - I was excited, but "made history" might be overegging it a bit.
  • Could cuegloss "yellow". Don't we normally add "ball" after the colour?

Last 16

  • Could wikilink "century break" at the first instance.
  • Could cuegloss "pink" and "red"
  • "no Welsh player advanced beyond the round of 16" - the sort of detail that news outlets and Snooker Scene love. Do we need it here, even if it is the Welsh Open?

Quarter-finals

  • "Robertson required foul shots" - reword to show he needed his oppopnent to foul.

Final

  • Could cuegloss "baulk".
  • Could cuegloss "blue".
  • "It was Perry's first ranking title win in the United Kingdom, since he had won his previous ranking title in Thailand" - any context to add about why this is worth commenting on? (If not, it's fine.)

Images

  • Rationale provided for the use of the poster seems reasonable. Other pics are CC.
  • Captions and placement are OK.

Initial comments above, Lee Vilenski. I'll have another look after your responses. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:23, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
