WikiProject Cue sports to-do list: edit history watch purge 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.

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).

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.

• Organised by World Snooker, entries for the event cost £1,000 and there was no maximum number of participants. Would suggest rewording, as currently the opening clause "Organised by World Snooker" describes the subject "entries", where I think you mean that the event was organised by the association.
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:10, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "Each event was open to an unlimited amount of entrants" is redundant to the sentence that came before. Removing it will also allow the first paragraph to be entirely in past-tense, and the second to be entirely in present-tense.
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:10, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Change the comma after "Twelve players qualified from the events" to a colon.
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:10, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Those "Four more players" should be around parentheticals, or otherwise reordered to allow for punctuation
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:10, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• This section also alternates between past and present tense; since this talks about the Q School more generally, and formats that are the same every year, I would recommend consistent present tense
  • I've reordered to better show where we are talking about Q School, and when we talk about the 2019 events.
• Pipe "knockout" to One-game playoff
  • Actually I've piped to single-elimination tournament, as a one-game playoff is something different. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "based on the amount of frames" → "based on the number of frames" (amount is general, number is specific)
  • Ok Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:08, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "were tied at 3–3 and the match was decided"
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:09, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Xu Si had been demoted from the tour the previous season defeated fellow Chinese player Wang Zepeng 4-2. Missing phrase in the middle. Also, make sure to switch the hyphen to an en dash at the end
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:09, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Another hyphen vs. em-dash towards the end of the second paragraph
  • fixed with script. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:09, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "before these matches happened" → "before these matches occurred"
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:09, 9 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• The header is capitalized, whereas the term "order of merit" in the section is not. If not a proper title, would suggest changing it to "Order of merit" per MOS:SECTIONCAPS

• Change [2] from all-caps to title case, per MOS:ALLCAPS

• No pictures are included, so criteria are not applicable
• No stability concerns in the revision history
• Earwig score looks good at 7.4%
