We currently have 2 centuries that do not appear at https://livescores.worldsnookerdata.com/Centuries/CenturyBreaks/14487/cazoo-uk-championship-2021 Clearly there's glitch somewhere in the WST system. It's not 100% clear to me where that glitch is. Are we sure that these centuries actually happened or is it the frame-by-frame scores that are wrong. Nigej (talk) 14:52, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's a bit irrelevant if we are wrong, or if the source is wrong; we should summarise what this source says, unless anyone has some alternative sourcing? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:03, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We have two perfectly valid reliable sources that contradict each other. In such cases it's better to use the correct one, rather than the wrong one. Nigej (talk) 19:10, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What's the second source? The article currently lists one. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:00, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The top of the "Century breaks" section has this source: https://livescores.worldsnookerdata.com/Centuries/CenturyBreaks/14487/cazoo-uk-championship-2021 which says "CENTURY COUNT: 71" and which we contradict by saying "A total of 73 century breaks have been made during the tournament". The section also has this:https://livescores.worldsnookerdata.com/Matches/Result/14487/833429/cazoo-uk-championship-2021 which shows that Goa Yang got had a break of 120 in frame 8.

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: @Lee Vilenski: Great work as always. This nomination just needs a QPQ before it can be approved. Epicgenius (talk) 18:58, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I'd add "snooker player" in front of Mark Williams, to set the context of the hook as a snooker tournament theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 21:47, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• ALT1: ... that snooker player Mark Williams fell asleep during a match at the 2021 UK Championship?
• ALT1a: ... that snooker player Mark Williams fell asleep during one of his matches at the 2021 UK Championship?

• Pinging Epicgenius: the QPQ was supplied several days ago, though nothing was posted here to indicate this was done. I've implemented theleekycauldron's suggestion as ALT1, and also an alternate wording as ALT1a, since it's more specific that he was playing (he might have been spectating). Since this is a UK hook, should it be "the snooker player" rather than "snooker player"? BlueMoonset (talk) 06:28, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, add "the" (or simpler: "during a match at the snooker 2021 UK Championship). Johnbod (talk) 23:26, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and tick this, since the original reviewer seems to have left it behind. I've double-checked the other criteria and all looks good. ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 06:11, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Could add the nationalities of the finalists in the prose lead, as it seems important enough for them to have those flags in the infobox.

• "pulsatile tinnitus" is there a link or even explanation as to what this is?

From google - Pulsatile tinnitus is a rhythmical noise that beats at the same rate as the heart and is the sound of blood circulating the body. Can't say I've found a suitable link. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 16:38, 14 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• I think the comments made about amateurs could warrant a "controversy" section, but it's not essential here for GAN.
