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

Intial review

Lead

• Should we be using a dash for the date ranges rather than simply to?
  • I was recently told this was more acceptable. I'm ok with either. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:23, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• "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"?
  • He also won the title in 2014, but I don't think we need to list this in the lede, particularly.
    • I think our wires are crossed here. What I mean is this doesn't particularly make sense in its current form. Should it be "to win his third world championship" or "to win this world championship"? Kosack (talk) 19:33, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
      • Ha, I see! Yes, supposed to say "his". Changed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:35, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• "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

• United Kingdom is probably an WP:OVERLINK.
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:24, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Seeding and qualifying rounds

• 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.
  •  Done - I'd already fixed the duplinks issue whilst you were reviewing. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:25, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

First round

• "played from 15–20 April 2017", hyphen rather than wording issue again?
  • As per above. I think it's more that it's read as from X-Y. Similar to how BLPs are written Born X, but when they die, it's written birthdate – deathdate. I'll change if required though Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:35, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• "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"?
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:35, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• "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

• Last sentence of the first paragraph is seemingly unsourced.
  • sourced Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:38, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

References

• Would Michael Emons be considered the author of ref 18?
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• Quite a few of the BBC Sport refs have available authors that aren't listed. Refs 25, 28, 29, 32 all have them, I'll leave the rest up to you to go through.
  •  Done - Not all have an author, but I got the ones that do. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• Ref 52 needs a date of publication.
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• Ref 70 needs a publisher.
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• Ref 75 falls foul of WP:ALLCAPS.
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• Some of the BBC refs are formatted differently, most use BBC Sport while others use BBC or the Web address. Not a GA requirement but may be an issue at FA if you wish to take this further.
  •  Done - pretty sure I got them all. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
• A few refs have odd bits of site titles included, 61 for example.
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

General

• 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).
  •  Done - I had pre-empted that, and did it whilst you were reviewing. There were quite a few more than this, but all gone now. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:46, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

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)

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 ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:16, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

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)
