5x expansion by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 12:16, 7 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • Officially launched into mainspace (from draft) on 1st February. Nominated within the deadline as noted above.
  • Prose length is fine at well over 7KB.
  • Sourcing is fine: article uses all the usual reliable sources for snooker tournament articles (Worldsnooker.com, Sporting Life, BBC Sport and Eurosport websites). SnookerHQ.com, which could appear unreliable from a WP perspective at first glance, is known to be acceptable for snooker articles.
  • Prose is fine and neutrally written throughout, with any quotations correctly identified; the article follows the usual format for snooker tournaments; and it is comprehensive.
  • No copyvio, close paraphrasing or plagiarism noted.
  • The hook fact is verified and suitably interesting. It could only happen to Mark Williams!!!
  • QPQ review done.
  • Lee Vilenski I'm going to have to be annoyingly pedantic and say the source added doesn't support the sentence that he has missed several ranking events this season: it only refers to the non-ranking Masters. This article from World Snooker would be better, so if you could swap it in I'll go ahead and mark as verified.

Misuse of rollback

[edit]

I copyedited the Tournament draw section in accordance with MOS:FLAGCRUFT; all players were identified by country in the table above. 86.42.85.52, with a history of edit-warring on snooker articles, rolled back my edits; rollback is intended to revert vandalism, not for a content dispute, and I don't have time to make the same edits twice.

Sorry you don't have the time to make the same edits twice, but there's no need to get upset. I edited the article as it wasn't with conformity to previous seasons, I should've put that as the reason. Nevertheless, as I look at the article this morning, the "tournament draw" section is a complete mess, so that'll definitely have to be fixed. Thanks for your report. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.85.52 (talk) 08:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SOFIXIT; I'm now working on another article, which is probably not being watched by edit-warriors. Before you revert edits next time, read the edit summary. Miniapolis 14:42, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I did fix it. I considered myself more of an editor, than an "edit-warrior", but that's okay if you need to debate like that. I did read the edit summary, and I reverted bad edits. Thanks again for all your help, appreciate it.

Making note of debutants

[edit]

I think this is a noteworthy addition to this event, but ol' Vilenski disagrees as he is frequently wont to do. Can I get a big CONSENSUS up in here, or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:BB6:1AE4:D658:9D4C:73D2:6695:FF2 (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong again, Vilenski, I am not that user and I have no registered account to log in to. West Bishes, ...me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:BB6:1AE4:D658:DDC8:47BF:95EB:70C6 (talk) 14:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
