NOTE: I will be travelling from Wednesday through Saturday and will have limited internet access. If there are any open issues at that time, I will try to address them when I return. I ask that this not be closed as a failure if on Saturday if there are open issues.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 19:29, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the latest contribution from WP:Poker. It is the results of the 2007 WSOPE, I believe that it is in shape to pass an FLC. If not, let me know what needs to be done.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 23:31, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from Giants2008
Comments –
  • The lead should probably have some more on how the events unfolded. For a WSOP results list, I would expect more than one sentence on said results. At least provide another sentence or two on the tournaments and who won them.
  • "In 2007, one of these younger players, at 18 years and 364 days Annette 'Annette_15' Obrestad became the youngest player to win a WSOP bracelet event." This is the one sentence in the lead that I don't like, as I feel the order is off. I'd rather see something like, "In 2007, one of these younger players, Annette 'Annette_15' Obrestad, became the youngest player to win a WSOP bracelet event at 18 years and 364 days old."
  • Comma after Obrestadt in her photo caption.\
  • External links should go before References (please note the s :-)). Giants2008 (17-14) 22:30, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Looks like a nice little list. Cleaned up the new additions to the lead to fix a couple grammar things. Giants2008 (17-14) 22:31, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The agreement, the largest-ever union of an online and offline gaming company, is intended to build on Betfair's European reputation in advertising the WSOPE.

    • Source text:

"The Letter of Intent, which is subject to execution of a definitive agreement, calls for the largest-ever union of its kind between an offline- and an online gaming company. "

  • "In 2007, one of these younger players, Annette "Annette_15" Obrestad, became the youngest player to win a WSOP bracelet event at 18 years and 364 days old."
  • "The second final table had no previous bracelet winners and Dario Alioto took home the bracelet."-->No previous bracelet winners played at the second final table; Dario Alioto took home the bracelet. took home the bracelet is too loose, can you rephrase?

Sources look good. Dabomb87 (talk) 22:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just got back from vacation and will try to resolve this tonight or tomorrow.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 01:07, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lead
  • You may as well clarify who the third event in the prose of the lead.
Images
  • I'm a bit sketchy on the captions because they sound a bit biased. Can they be neutralized?
  • Can you give an example on why you think they are biased? I think the captions include information people might e interested in.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 22:58, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
While I am not sure I agree with the comment, I've tried reworking them nonetheless.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 02:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Key
  • No need for the first row since no table has that.--Truco 22:46, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • While there are no Poker Hall of Famer's on this list, I'd rather not get rid of that piece of the key. I want to keep it for two reasons. First, it becomes part of a standard for the results lists for WSOP/WSOPE tournaments. Second, as it is part of the standard, the fact that there are no poker hall of famers on these tables, does convey meaningful information to people viewing the list.---I'm Spartacus! NO! I'm Spartacus! 22:58, 25 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support -- Previous issues resolved; article now meets WP:WIAFL.--Truco 20:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
