• ... that Mark Williams won a match at the 2020 World Grand Prix despite suffering from gout? Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/snooker/51393975

• Comment: Item is still WIP, but getting nomination in before deadline for expansion passes.

5x expansion by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 12:16, 7 February 2020 (UTC).

• I'll review this one at lunchtime. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 10:51, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

• Officially launched into mainspace (from draft) on 1st February. Nominated within the deadline as noted above.
• Prose length is fine at well over 7KB.
• Sourcing is fine: article uses all the usual reliable sources for snooker tournament articles (Worldsnooker.com, Sporting Life, BBC Sport and Eurosport websites). SnookerHQ.com, which could appear unreliable from a WP perspective at first glance, is known to be acceptable for snooker articles.
• Prose is fine and neutrally written throughout, with any quotations correctly identified; the article follows the usual format for snooker tournaments; and it is comprehensive.
• No copyvio, close paraphrasing or plagiarism noted.
• The hook fact is verified and suitably interesting. It could only happen to Mark Williams!!!
• QPQ review done.

• Just one issue outstanding: in the "Early rounds" section, there is a [Citation needed] tag for the sentence about Ronnie; I imagine this shouldn't be difficult to cite. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 13:22, 19 February 2020 (UTC)

• Lee Vilenski I'm going to have to be annoyingly pedantic and say the source added doesn't support the sentence that he has missed several ranking events this season: it only refers to the non-ranking Masters. This article from World Snooker would be better, so if you could swap it in I'll go ahead and mark as verified.

• Thanks for this Hassocks5489. I've added the ref. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:20, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Cheers – good to go. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:25, 23 February 2020 (UTC)

Misuse of rollback

I copyedited the Tournament draw section in accordance with MOS:FLAGCRUFT; all players were identified by country in the table above. 86.42.85.52, with a history of edit-warring on snooker articles, rolled back my edits; rollback is intended to revert vandalism, not for a content dispute, and I don't have time to make the same edits twice.

Sorry you don't have the time to make the same edits twice, but there's no need to get upset. I edited the article as it wasn't with conformity to previous seasons, I should've put that as the reason. Nevertheless, as I look at the article this morning, the "tournament draw" section is a complete mess, so that'll definitely have to be fixed. Thanks for your report. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.85.52 (talk) 08:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

WP:SOFIXIT; I'm now working on another article, which is probably not being watched by edit-warriors. Before you revert edits next time, read the edit summary. Miniapolis 14:42, 26 February 2020 (UTC)

I did fix it. I considered myself more of an editor, than an "edit-warrior", but that's okay if you need to debate like that. I did read the edit summary, and I reverted bad edits. Thanks again for all your help, appreciate it.

Making note of debutants

I think this is a noteworthy addition to this event, but ol' Vilenski disagrees as he is frequently wont to do. Can I get a big CONSENSUS up in here, or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:BB6:1AE4:D658:9D4C:73D2:6695:FF2 (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Wrong again, Vilenski, I am not that user and I have no registered account to log in to. West Bishes, ...me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:BB6:1AE4:D658:DDC8:47BF:95EB:70C6 (talk) 14:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
