Why isn't 2020–21 snooker season linked in the lead?
It's a bit of an odd one, because it was the first event of the 2020-21 world seniors tour, which is a part of the snooker season. It being an amateur/Pro-Am event makes it difficult to place. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
World Seniors Tour says it was the third event of the 2019–20 season. So which one is wrong? Armbrust The Homunculus 20:45, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
"pandemic, being broadcast" perhaps "pandemic and was broadcast" (and you might even need to say whether that was UK exclusive?)
I don't have a source saying that it was UK exclusive. The BBC Red Button stuff is available elsewhere in the world, but only for certain content.
Online too?
Everything is online, so I think it's a bit moot. When we talk about "broadcasting", we do tend to mean that they have the coverage, rather than the media they use to portray that - otherwise we would say "stream" or whatever. If it was online only, that might be worth mentioning. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
Could add a little more in the lead as to the format of the contest.
Added. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:20, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
"place in 1991" could link 1991 season?
Linked event. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:47, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"The event consists of" probably more accurate to say "The event is contested by..."

"at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, " for non-experts, it might be nice to note that this is also the venue of the World Snooker Championship rather than some deadbeat theatre in north England just picked to give these veterans a good time.
Agreed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:47, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"11th edition of the World Seniors Championship" overlinked.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:47, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"The event was... The event featured... " repetitive. Indeed, "event" is used ten times in that paragraph.
"best-of-7 " etc, seven/nine.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"The event was held ..." image caption needs a full stop.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"White, defending the championship" comma after championship.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Cuegloss link for break.
"–3.[16][5] The second" ref order.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"against Hendry, however, Hendry" jarringly repetitive.
fixed Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"win 4-1." en-dash, and others, fix 'em all.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
No need to link common terms like "golf".
Considering there is a type of pool called "golf" I prefer to retain the link as it makes it very clear. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
"The field was made up of eight selected ranking event winners..." shouldn't this be in the overview?
Moved Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Only four seeds, this needs explaining in the prose.  Especially as it played out perfectly and all four seeds made it to the semifinals.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Might be worth noting that Tabb was referee for the final in the prose.

Why are century/50+ breaks in italics in the table?
It's something people do to show that both players had the same amount - but it's not explained anywhere, so I've removed. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
"made during the event, Jimmy White made a 130 at the semi-final stage.[26]" made/made repeat. I would rephrase entirely, something like "Jimmy White made the only century break of the tournament with a 130 ..."
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:29, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Shouldn't ref 1 have the same publisher as ref 2?
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Same for other WPBSA sources?
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Ref 5, pp. not p.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Check websites aren't mentioned in ref titles, e.g. refs 6, 7 etc.
I think I got all these.
Ref 8 publisher etc?
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Ref 9 publication date?
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Ref 12, link Sporting Life like you did with WPBSA in ref 2?
I've removed the links instead. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Ref 14 is a bare URL.
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Ref 19 publication date.
Ref 23, author etc, make it consistent with the other similar refs.
I've removed the non authors instead. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Ref 24 publisher?
Done Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:06, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
Ref 25 spaced hyphen should be en-dash.
