I'll take this one! Expect initial remarks in a few hours. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 07:41, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

I'll go section by section.

Lead

• All fine

Overview

• the tense changes at random in places
  • The only bit I see is where it describes the championship still being at Sheffield, which it still is. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
• "by Embassy as had": comma in between
  • Sure. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
• Ref 8 is a tabloid, and says 3 years. Ref-9 is dead. And shouldn't it be "for the next five", not "in the next five"?
  • Sure. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
• "some players who lost": comma
  • The sentence says "some people who lost income", not some people who lost. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
• are rival firms: were rival firms
• money and also:money, and also
  • I've just removed also as better (avoid WP:CINS) Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
• Championship the winner's: comma
  • Sure. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:34, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Summary

Will review later

Main draw

All fine

Qualification

• Mention that there were bye instead of just showing it
• The formatting for prelimanary looks weird
  • Yeah, I rarely touch these tables. It's because the prelim quali is often one or two rounds (or even just a few matches), this one is a bit larger Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:39, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Century brakes

• 52 century breaks in the qualifying stage- does that include the preliminary qualifying?
  • The source says "pre-TV", so I assume so. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:37, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

References and Images

• Images all fine
• References- Why is "Chris Turner's Snooker Archive" reliable?

• Butting in here... there was a discussion at RSN about this source in 2022. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, basically we've discussed it a lot. Chris Turner is the guy who did all the snooker stats for the BBC and Eurosport. He's basically the snooker Historian (or was). I've used it successfully on FACs previously Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:35, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

• breakingnews.ie- this doesn't work, then redirects: update
• Why is snookerdatabase.co.uk reliable?
• Ref-40 is a tabloid
• Refs 60, 62, 64 are also dead
• is snooker.org reliable?
• worldsnooker.org archive links don't work

Semi-finals

all fine

Final

all fine

Overall

That's all for now, will review the rest later. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 19:01, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: could you split some of the paragraphs, especially in First round, to like 8-10 lines max. Bcs they can get a little hard to read. DoctorWhoFan91 (talk) 06:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
