Prose

Lede

• World Snooker Championship established - this needs to be split by a comma. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• with £10,000 prize money. There were 31 entrants. - feels a bit dry. I'd merge this but into one sentence. Maybe The event featured 31 participants, with a total prize fund of £10,000. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Lede is a little lacking, maybe we could mention the prelim round. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:36, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General

• The format section doesn't actually cover how the format works. I.e. how the first round worked. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Added. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Formatting for the sessions link is wrong. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• The article uses "qualifying" and "preliminary" interchangeably. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:02, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Yes, it was called both in Snooker Scene. I've amended the one instance of "preliminary" to "qualifying". BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• hospital , where - stray space. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• .[21][22]Cliff Thorburn led 3 - I think it was supposed to go here. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Amended per the three points above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Do we not have any images of anyone other than Reardon? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• There's an image of Higgins used in the infobox on his page, but I'm not entirely convinced it's a genuinely free image. There are much later images of Thorburn but he only reached the first round. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Bennett,[27] eventually eliminating Bennett - repetitive. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• sessions[28] Davis won the match 15–5.[29] - something is missing here. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Added a full stop after "sessions". BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• One usage of Snooker Scene is in italics, the next in quotations. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• As we state how many frames are in each round, we should also include sessions. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Added. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Semi-finals is a bit dry. Was there nothing more? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Snooker Scene only had about 100 words on Reardon v Davis, and about twice that on the other semi. Some of this is commentary like "somewhat characteristically started to miss badly when the pressure came on"; "three dull frames"; "a dreadful failure"; "romped away"; "inevitably approached a winning margin" that I didn't find very usable. I could add more like further break details, but I think the lack of anything much to say reflects the unspectacular nature of the decisive results. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• There was a plate? I feel like that could have been mentioned in lede/format. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:22, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Added to lead. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 10:28, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
