Internal pages: Something like:
[2][3]). Such pages are not fluff, but can be good places to find recruits for the project, possibly including subject-matter experts, especially if cross-referenced to the project. Also,
Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cue sports (cf.
[4][5][6]).
Create timelines, both textual and graphical. See link for various guidelines and examples. We need an overall one for cue sports generally, and more specific ones as we drill down into more specific topics (timeline of
nine-ball, timeline of
Willie Mosconi's career, etc.).
Form sections:
Exhibition game needs section on cue sports; could later form a new article with "Main article..." xref to it. What other general articles need cue sports sections?
Images: improve articles with images from commons; create pics and add them to commons as GFDL/CC-by/PD.
Add: {{Sport overview}} to main articles of cue games that are real sports; medal table tags where they apply (see
Ding Junhui for example).
Insert: Cue sports events (tournament results, etc.) into the "year in sports" categories (e.g.
1965 in sports), using {{subst:
Cue sports heading}} if that year doesn't have one yet.
141 was the highest break of the tournament. 140 was the highest break to that point, as the 141 was scored in the round after. Quite easy to remove however. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

What do you mean, "to that point"? The exact words in the Century breaks section are "A total of 26 century breaks were made during the tournament, with the highest break of 140 being made by Marco Fu" ~ there's no "point" mentioned, that's referring to the entire tournament, which is why i didn't make a change: It is still entirely contradictory. So, i repeat, which was it? Either way, i'm happy to remove/correct, but i don't want to delete the correct number. Happy days, LindsayHello20:06, 23 March 2019 (UTC)reply
The sixth revision of the world rankings. The rankings are now updated after every tournament, but they didn't use to be. There used to be specific ranking revision points. The sixth of these happened after the UK Championship, and was used as qualfication for this event. I don't suppose it's particularly important, so I could just remove.
Snooker world rankings 2016/2017 is where the infomation is Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

"Stephen Maguire did not qualify to play in the tournament, the first time since 2004 that Maguire did not play in the event." well presumably this was because of his ranking, so it'd be better to say something like "Ranked X, Stephen Maguire failed to secure entry to the tournament for the first time since 2004"?
I see "thrashes" or "thrashed" but not "thrashing", keep it as a literal quote if you're putting it in quotes, or amend for sentence using square brackets if necessary.
" reduce his deficit to one frame, at 3–4" once you start talking about a scoreline, don't suddenly switch it round depending on which player you're talking about, confusing. Check all article scorelines.
" a best of 19 frames match" ->" a best-of-19-frames match"
Why is Prize fund towards the end of this and not up near the top, like the other snooker tournaments I've reviewed?
Probably as I've been moving them all. I think it is better at the top. I don't think the MOS is particularly very specific about this, but I have moved this Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

You italicise BBC Sport in the refs, but not in the prose, I usually use BBC Sport as a "publisher" for the purposes of refs (which would un-italicise it). Whichever you prefer, be consistent.
You don't need "BBC Sport" in the titles of any of those refs which are published by BBC Sport, that doesn't appear in the titles (I think it's probably a throwback to an automated reference creation script...)
Thanks for your hard work
The Rambling Man - I've covered all of the above. I remember losing all interest in this event when Marco Fu lost, but this GA has been fun to work on. If you have any further comments, let me know. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

Further comments
Dafabet not mentioned in the prose, suggest you add something about them being the primary sponsors.
No worries mate. I think I did quite a few fixes for that one, but going to go through it again one more time in a mo. Thanks for your time, and excellent reviewing once again. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(
