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.

In 2009 when Higgins played Murphy both were alredy champions. Under tournament summary it says this year is the first time champions meet in the final. — Preceding

The text currently says "The final marks the first time in Crucible history that multiple champions have met in the final of the World Championship." Note the words "Crucible" and "multiple".

She only won a qualifying match. Allison Fisher had done that several times, Kelly Fisher and probably others too. Cuetracker is my only source though. — Preceding

Sorry to have to do this, but I've removed the new section added yesterday by
User:Repet93. It appears to have been copied from the 2018 article, and altered to suit the 2017 event, which is fine but it's introduced a citation error presumably because the field_set citation for the 2018 tournament has just been copied in by mistake. If you want to try again (please do), a good source to use here (and to check facts against) is probably
https://www.wpbsa.com/betfred-world-championship-2017-tournament-preview/ Also, if there's to be an Overview section, it really needs to include both the Format and Participant summary subsections to be in keeping with the later articles. As this is currently a GA nominee, we need to keep an error-free stable version. Cheers,

"win this third world championship", this is only the second title of Selby's mentioned unless I'm missing something? Or is it meant to be "his third"?
He also won the title in 2014, but I don't think we need to list this in the lede, particularly.
I think our wires are crossed here. What I mean is this doesn't particularly make sense in its current form. Should it be "to win his third world championship" or "to win this world championship"?

"winning the highest break prize of £10,000", specify the televised prize otherwise it reads a bit odd when Gary Wilson is mentioned in the following section.
The last paragraph is pretty short and could probably be added to the previous one given that Wilson is in both. Along the lines of, "Wilson was one of five debuting players, along with..."? No need to link him twice either way.
"played from 15–20 April 2017", hyphen rather than wording issue again?
As per above. I think it's more that it's read as from X-Y. Similar to how BLPs are written Born X, but when they die, it's written birthdate – deathdate. I'll change if required though Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

"O'Sullivan reached the second round in 18 out of 20 events since 1997", this sentence seems a little off, a mix of present and past tense. Look at rewording to something like, "O'Sullivan's victory was the 18th time he had reached the second round in the previous 20 events since 1997"?
"Peter Ebdon, 2002 champion, appeared at the Crucible for the 24th time since first qualifying in 1992 played Stuart Bingham", again tense seems slightly off. Appearing rather than appeared and a comma after 1992?
Quite a few of the BBC Sport refs have available authors that aren't listed. Refs 25, 28, 29, 32 all have them, I'll leave the rest up to you to go through.
Some of the BBC refs are formatted differently, most use BBC Sport while others use BBC or the Web address. Not a GA requirement but may be an issue at FA if you wish to take this further.
There are a few repeat links throughout, for example Marco Fu (Second round and Quarter-finals), Rory McLeod (First and Second round) and Kyren Wilson (Second round and Quarter-finals).
Kosack - Pretty sure I got it all. I don't mind changing the dates issue raised above, but I was recently told the current is better. I have no feelings either way. Hope that's enough. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(

Nothing I can really complain about apart from that, I notice you've undertaken a number of other changes based on previous GAs which have taken care of one or two other points I would have brought up so nice work. I'll defer to your judgement on the date issue if it's been discussed elsewhere. Nice piece of work, promoting.

FA Push
Hi, I'm looking to nominate this at some point towards FA (Maybe not until next year though), any issues that you can spot with the article, let me know.
@
Lee Vilenski: Hi there, how's it going? Are you still interested in bringing this article to FA soon? I did some work on it before Christmas and I can take another look at it now if you like. I've already made a lot of notes and I can sort through them and let you see all relevant comments for your attention. Let me know. Cheers,

Source review
Hi
Lee, I've been going through the refs and making a few corrections along the way. Anything you disagree with, just let me know. I notice that Ref.1 just puts you through to the British Newspaper Archive registration page and as such isn't much use, or should at least carry a registration icon.
Another thing you might have noticed, I've been checking the citations all have a work (or alias) parameter, rather than just publisher. There's a good reason for that. Apparently the publisher param doesn't make it into the metadata for the CS1/2 template, but the work param does, so it's always necessary to provide a work alias for the citation to be fully defined (whether or not there's also publisher specified). I had a lengthy conversation about this with Trappist the monk recently and he explained it all to me.
Read this if you want to have your mind blown!

You might not believe it, I did actually know the difference. I just don't really understand why we don't add metadata for the publisher field.
I'm not the biggest fan of linking work or other parameters in the refs. As far as I am aware, it simply needs to be consistent. Adding extra links causes more chance of accidently clicking a link to
BBC Sport, rather than the link you were trying to read Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski(
