Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

WikiProject Cue sports to-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Lots of high-priority articles need to be created:

List of wanted articles...

Games: A bunch of high-priority game redlinks, e.g. American four-ball billiards (redirs to Four-ball billiards but not specifically covered there)
"Legends": Edwin Kelly, Charlie Peterson (pool player) (all BCA Hall of Famers); George Franklin Slosson, Maurice Daly (billiards player), Frank Ives, George Butler Sutton [not George H. Sutton, the one with no hands]
Male pool bios: Hsia Hui-kai
Female pool bios:
Male three-cushion bios: Dion Nelin & Jozef Bel Philipoom
Female carom bios: Aygen Berk Saygıner
Aristic pool bios: Nick Nikolaidis, Mark Dimick,Sebastian Giumelli, Eric Yow
Unranked in current pool but notable: Mike Eufemia, Shannon Daulton, Jimmy Reid (pool player) [speed pool champ], var. Mosconi Cup players
Non-player figures: Mitch Laurance, George Fels
Five-pins bios: Gustavo Zito
Organizations: Joss Tour
Events: WPA World Nine-ball Championships (pre-1997), BCA Open Nine-ball Championship, World 14.1 Continuous Championship, International Challenge of Champions (pool)
Media and misc.: Iwan Simonis (leading billiard cloth maker), Joss Cues (major cue mfr.), The Baron and the Kid [Johnny Cash film], Ultimate Pool Party [TV show]
And: everyone/thing listed at WP:CUEGAMES, WP:CUEEVENTS, WP:CUEORGS, WP:CUEBIOS, & WP:CUEMISC. Also a Cue sports world records article (many can be pulled from bio articles like Geet Sethi, Guinness Book will provide others, and so will BCA and other orgs., websites and books like Shamos 1999).
Meta: Outline of cue sports (OoK; cf. [1], etc.) – presently redirects to Cue sports, but this is not an OoK page.
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]).

Cleanup : Thomas Engert, Marlon Manalo
Copyedit : Jonni Fulcher
Expand : Cue sports techniques#Carom shots (section needs to exist), Straight pool, Alfredo de Oro,Jeanette Lee (pool player)
NPOV : Andy Segal (major WP:COI and WP:V issues, too), Jose Parica (it's bad!); Efren Reyes, Thomas Engert, Dennis Orcollo, Dick Jaspers
Photo : Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports people
Split : List of World Eight-ball Champions - blackball stuff needs own article {draft split from real eight-ball one (draft).
Stubs : loads of players in Category:Cue sports stubs
Update : Arcade game (link to bagatelle, bar billiards, etc.)
Verify : Cue stick (mostly WP:OR!), Frank Taberski (has major fact conflict between BCA & NYT sourcing), Russian pyramid, add sources to Unreferenced BLPs
Wikify : Chicago (pool), Jonni Fulcher
Other :
- 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?
- CopyVio rewrite:
- Clarify: What is the "continuous pool" listed above "14.1 continuous" at Alfredo DeOro?
- Delete or defend:
- Move/Rename (and Redirect):
- Redirect:
- Unorphan:
- Ensure: that rules discussions in game articles & the Billiard techniques article do not violate WP:NOT#IINFO.
- Help fix: WP:CUEBIOS#Pool players (women) is nearly empty!
- Help develop: the lists of WP:CUEORGS and WP:CUEEVENTS
- 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.
- Change:
- Replace:
- Some day: Seek Featured Topic status.
- Plunder: the French article; it does have some interesting tidbits, structure and images. Check out de.wikipedia, etc., as well.
- Inter-wiki: Improve simple:Billiards and foreign-language key articles.

Lead

O'Sullivan made the highest break of the competition of 134 in his semi-final victory over Williams. — This doesn't appear to be in the body of the article.
- Added MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Background

one of the first of the season. — traditionally one of the first of the season, or it just happened to be one of the first in 2001–02?
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Any player who withdrew would be replaced by a reserve — How were reserves determined?
- There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps add in the first sentence that one spot was filled via a qualifying competition.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
John Higgins, Scotland's highest-ranked player — Suggest "John Higgins, Scotland's highest-ranked player and the world's number ##"
- Done MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
By the time I got to "Round 1" I still had no idea who the players were, who was favored, etc. Perhaps the players who qualified by being in the top 8 could be listed somewhere along with their ranking, and the seeds for the tournament bracket could be added?
- Added MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - John Higgins and Mark Williams are both listed as three seeds. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:42, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Corrected MWright96 (talk) 10:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prize fund

Highest break (×1): £5,000 — What does the "×1" mean?
- It means that one person could earn the prize monies available
  - Which source is used for the highest break amount? --Usernameunique (talk) 09:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - RTE Sport MWright96 (talk) 10:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Total: £200,000 — Did all 12 players win some of this?
- Yes, but am unable to find other amounts MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Round 1

ranking event winner — What's a ranking event?
- Added wikilink MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Frank Callan — Who's this, just a random coach? Worth a red link?
- Clarified and no red link would be appropriate MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-finals

Williams was required to pot the pink ball from a long distance to tie the match at 2–2; it was left on the edge of a top corner pocket. — This probably belongs before the sentence about who won.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Final

It was the first time since the 2000 Grand Prix that O'Sullivan had been defeated in a tournament final. — How many tournaments ago was that?
- Added months instead MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Any word on when Higgins's child was born?
- Added MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Qualifying

Is there enough in the sources to add information about the matches that goes beyond the bracket?
- Not particularly and it's not the standard in WikiProject Snooker to add every detail about a tournament's qualifying matches, except for maximum breaks or unusual events. MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

MWright96, comments above. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:25, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Usernameunique: Have made changes and have replied where appropriate. MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - MWright96, two further comments/questions above. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:49, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Looks good, MWright96. Passing. --Usernameunique (talk) 10:04, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
