# Talk:2022 World Seniors Championship

How much is the winner playing for? The runner-up? Etc.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8085:7160:3B80:6D19:7BD3:5CF6:7781 (talk) 10:00, 7 May 2022 (UTC)

Someone added the price fund the other day (Winner's share	£15,000), but what is his or her source for this in fact? Extremely sexy (talk) 02:20, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks, and is he a son of Willy's in fact then? Extremely sexy (talk) 16:24, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

In the infobox one can add this line, but according to User:Mrloop they are deleted once the tournament ends and/or that particular player exits: I don't agree with this, because he or she remains the defending champion forever having won the previous edition of the tournament.

Hi, review to come. Canary757 (talk) 15:07, 5 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi, solid article but a few things to consider.
Lead
The 13th edition of the World Seniors Championship, first held in 1991, it was organised by the World Seniors Tour, which is open to players over 40 who are not in the top 64 of the world rankings. Hi I'd be tempted to split this into two sentences and perhaps clarify aged over 40 or over the age of 40
Done. Alavense (talk) 08:48, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Participants
A World Seniors Tour event, the tournament was open to players over 40 who were ranked outside the top 64 in the snooker world rankings. would just clarify aged over 40 again
Done. Alavense (talk) 08:48, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Maria Catalano, who had turned 40 in February, became the first woman to reach the final stages of a seniors event.  I've seen disagreements over whether to use the Daily Mirror as a WP:RS so you could use this instead [1]
I did not like that source, because it is a blog. But I added two references. I think it is better now. Alavense (talk) 08:17, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, reference 19 in the article is the same website so you may wish to replace it? Canary757 (talk) 12:56, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Prize Fund
Last-16 round losers: £1,000 'round losers isn't needed here eg 2025 Masters (snooker)
Amended. Alavense (talk) 08:37, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
last 24
Nigel Bond made breaks of 61 and 67 as he whitewashed Stuart Watsonlink Whitewash (sport)
It is already linked in the previous paragraph. In general, we only link an article once per == section. Alavense (talk) 08:37, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
quarter-finals
Holt scored only 13 more points in the match as Lilley made breaks of 50 and 58 for a whitewash victory.  Whitewash is used quite a lot, maybe vary with a 3/4‍–‍0 now and again
I removed a few. Alavense (talk) 08:42, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Lines, winner of the 2022 UK Seniors Championship during the season, made breaks of 93 and 50 as he won the first three frames against Bond. Bond won the fourth, but Lines took the fifth for a 4–1 victory for some variation and to make the matches less staccato, could phrases like 'in the final quarter-final' and later 'in the second semi-final' to separate the matches out a little?
Done. Alavense (talk) 08:52, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
final
Michaela Tabb officiated the final. I'd change final to match as it's in a section called final
Changed. Alavense (talk) 08:46, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
It was Walker's first trophy, not having won any throughout his professional career. This line needs rewording. The not isn't working well here. Also, I presume he must have won a trophy or two at county/club level so could be worded televised tournament won or something similar? 
Reworded. Alavense (talk) 08:54, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
"it's an absolute dream come true" this quote is pretty much duplicated within the same paragraph
Removed one. Alavense (talk) 08:44, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Only a select few people get to play that, it's an absolute dream come true," Walker said.also I don't think 'Walker said' at the end of the line is needed as it is clear who is stating it above
Removed. Alavense (talk) 08:44, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Given that some players won more than one of the tournaments that gave right to take part in the 2022 Champion of Champions, Walker, as World Seniors Champion, was invited to participate.I think this needs to be rewritten and I don't think given is a great way to start this line. I think it needs rewording, something like 'Walker was subsequently invited to compete at the 2022 CofC after an extra place became available due to etc' 
Rephrased, as per your suggestion. Alavense (talk) 08:46, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Generally the article is good, the page is stable, it has all the key info, is laid out in the normal fashion. Earwig gives one high of 35.1% but this is due to an attributed quote so fine. I will do a source/fact check at a later date. Let me know what you think. Canary757 (talk) 07:35, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Thank you very much for the review, Canary757. Your comments were really helpful. I replied above, so please let me know what you think. Kind regards, Alavense (talk) 08:55, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, Ref check 1 5 7 9 12 15 16 17 19 20 22 26 27 29 32 33 all fine but 24-Chaperon won first two frames but lost 1-3? Ref 8 title has a likely typo brin=brink? Canary757 (talk) 11:44, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
37 38 41 43 44 45 48 all fine but 35-Walker v Hendry - 63 break not 65? Thanks. Canary757 (talk) 12:09, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Sorry, 19 may not be reliable following your earlier reply? Canary757 (talk) 12:58, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
All done, Canary757. Added an additional reference for Chaperon v Williams. Typo fixed. Amended break. And blog removed. Thanks again, Alavense (talk) 16:06, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, but if Chaperon lost 1-3 he couldn't have won the first two frames? Maybe add no prize money for last 24 losers in prize money section? Canary757 (talk) 16:16, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Canary757: Amended and added. Alavense (talk) 16:22, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
Nearly there! I still think two of the sentences can be improved a bit.
Walker had not won any trophy throughout his professional career. I think it should initially state that he became world seniors champion for the first time, and then acknowledge that he hadn't previously won a professional event. Something like . 'Walker became World Seniors champion for the first time. Prior to his victory, he had not won a trophy during his professional career'.. or something of the like
Let me know what you think. Otherwise, one could understand that this is part of his professional career, and it is not. Alavense (talk) 07:57, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
Walker, as World Seniors Champion, was subsequently invited to compete at the 2022 Champion of Champions after an extra place became available because some players won more that one of the tournaments that gave right to take part. The BBC ref only says that the win qualified him for the C of C. I can't access the other ref to see it's wording, but 'some players won more that one of the tournaments that gave right to take part' needs further rewording. Is there a particular player that won an event that created this extra slot/slots?
There were several players who won multiple tournaments. I think listing them would be out of the scope of this article. The ref says: "He will now be hoping that there will be some multiple winners of tournament titles in the coming months so that he can be awarded a place in the 16 man field in the Champion of Champions in November".

Thanks Canary757 (talk) 07:13, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
Replied above, Canary757. Alavense (talk) 08:00, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
part one looks great, I have tweaked part two, is this okay? Canary757 (talk) 08:18, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
I'm happy with that, Canary757. Thank you for improving it! Alavense (talk) 10:22, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, article passes all GA criteria, will promote today. Congrats, Canary757 (talk) 11:04, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
