While the article says "Davis was invited to compete in the 1991 World Masters, where he lost to Steve Davis 0–6. This was Fred's last TV appearance in a competitive match", the article for that tournament does not include Fred Davis in its results section. I am not sure if this means the statement is in error, there is an error in the other article, or the results are missing an earlier round?  Dunarc (talk) 20:23, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Not an error, there was a 128 round that for whatever reason is not included on that page. Here's Dave Hendon stating it. I suspect the draw on that page is just copied from cuetracker as there is no source accompanying it. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:40, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
I also found this, commenting that the match was the first one to be played, and that the tournament was the "richest-ever", with a £1 million prize fund. Tame by today's standard! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:47, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for this - I had thought it looked too specific to be an error, and it makes sense for there to have been an earlier round. Dunarc (talk) 20:42, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
It is a bit surprising, as the general editing behaviours of the wikiproject is to include every professional match that ever happened. Thanks for the Q though. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 14:41, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Still studying this one, Lee. I should be with you soon. It is looking good, though. BoJó | talk UTC 20:16, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Overall:
Pass/Fail: 

Everything seems to be fine although there is a lot of detail and perhaps an over-reliance on Clive Everton as the main source. I was a little concerned on first reading by some of the prose in the lead and early years sections but I subsequently copyedited these myself because, once the article gets into Fred's pro career, the prose settles down and is much better. Verification is good and there no problems about original research, copyvio, neutrality or anything like that. Given Fred's very long career, the challenge had to be breadth of coverage but you've handled this well by keeping it chronological and everything is within scope. Only the one image but I agree it is fair use. I have tried to study the tables but there's a lot to take in, although there is good annotation. They are well placed, however, being below the narrative. 
All in all, everything checks as a yes and this is a good article. I'm pleased about that as I remember Fred. He was always a jolly sort of a chap and a great sport. It's not surprising the audiences warmed to him. Well done. BoJó | talk UTC 22:16, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
