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

John Higgins won the competition, defeating the world number seven Peter Ebdon — What was Higgins ranked at the time?
- Added MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The competition followed the season's third invitational event, the 2002 Masters. — This probably belongs in the first paragraph, with the part about the "the fourth and final World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA) invitational event of the 2001–02 season"
- Done MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Background

What's a challenge match?
- Added wikilnk MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How are the "final positions" of the world rankings different than the rankings that were just discussed?
- Reworded MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How was the wild card determined?
- There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Quarter-finals

he ... forced re-spotted black — Is this phrasing correct?
- Changed MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
His victory saw him produce breaks of 68, 66 and 120 and accumulated 358 points without reply — "and accumulate"?
- Done MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Does "kick" mean "cling" in this context? The link (kick) says it is a "kick shot," or a "cling"; a "kick shot" seems to be an intended (but complicated) shot, while a "cling" seems to be necessarily undesirable.
- No it does not MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Then what does it mean? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:01, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - I misread the earlier statement yes it does mean Kick in British English MWright96 (talk) 20:06, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Final

This was Higgins' 38th professional tournament final — How many of those did he win?
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Higgins on his fourth title of the season — Something's off here.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Main draw

Perhaps add the seeds?
- Added MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Scoreline of the final

Any particular reason you have the scoreline of the final, but not the semi-finals, quarters, etc.?
- It is the standard across snooker articles to add the scoreline of the final since it is the most important match of a tournament
I don't suppose there's an article which says how to read a snooker scoreline (e.g., Box score (baseball))?
- No there is not MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Overall

MWright96, comments above. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:45, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Usernameunique: Have made changes to the article and have replied where appropriate. MWright96 (talk) 19:28, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - MWright96, one question above. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:04, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thanks. Passing now. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:10, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
