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

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.

older entries

The final is a best-of-27 this year, not a best-of-25 like last year. I edited this page to 27 frame final yesterday, and someone changed it back to the incorrect 25 frame final. Earlier in the season at one of the Coral series events, Jill Douglas mentioned the Tour Championship final was a best-of-27, which I thought others would have picked up on. TV guides are now stating it's a best-of-27 frame final.^[1]

This user, https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User_talk:Wiki13565, changed it back to 25 frames today...which is incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.85.52 (talk) 18:13, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing later. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 18:00, 1 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Since the event has already happened, some parts of the overview section needs to be changed to past tense.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the prize money for the highest break in the reference.
You can probably remove the first of the two consecutive citations to ref 19.

"next to lead 8–7.[28][27]" Reorder refs.
- Reordered Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:22, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"contested the first; and" I think the semicolon can be removed here.
- Fixed Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:24, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure, but do the century breaks need a colon before the name of the player?
- I've never done this previously, and 2019 Tour Championship is an FA. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:24, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That should be it. Nova Crystallis (Talk) 06:49, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect frame counts given in SnookerHQ source

Ref.5 (https://snookerhq.com/2020/03/16/tour-championship-draw-preview-2/) (dated 16 March, before the event was postponed) says the quarter-finals were first to nine (best of 17, correct), the semi-finals the first to ten (best of 19, incorrect), and the final taking place over a whopping 25 frames (also incorrect). Was this the original format that was changed after the event was postponed for 3 months? Or is it just blatantly incorrect information? In any case, we shouldn't be using this as a source for the match durations so I'll cut it out and tidy up... So it now occurs to me that the frame numbers were changed from the original format because in 2019 it was 17/19/25. This would be to do with the single table setup throughout and having to cram in more sessions, so should we pick up on that and explain the changes and why?
