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]).
Create timelines, both textual and graphical. 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?
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.

Article meets DYK requirements, is free from close paraphrasing, and has a QPQ done. Of the two hooks, I think the first hook has the broadest appeal since it's not reliant on being a snooker fan. I could also suggest that you propose an ALT about him only joining the competition for the prize money and he knew he wouldn't win, but it's optional and it won't hold back the nom. It's also cited inline and verified in the source.

Hello. This is sourced well and the coverage is good without excessive detail. The article is stable, the images seem to be okay and there are no problems around OR, POV, etc. I do have a problem with GACR#1, though, because the lead should be a summary of the narrative and some of the content in this lead, especially in the second paragraph, is a duplication of narrative content. I think the best thing to do will be to ensure the content is all there and is what you need to say, and then rewrite the lead in summary form. I'll put it on hold for now but there is no rush to complete – I don't do deadlines. It's otherwise fine and if you can resolve the duplication, it should pass easily. Thanks.

Hi, no problem. I've given it a bit of a reword. The important parts of this para is to get across the format of the event (8 participants and who was invited), that there was no restrictions due to COVID, (which is a big deal!) and that Xingtong was replaced due to covid (as otherwise when we say that the top-6 were invited, and we have seventh placed Williams in the first round it's a bit of a misnomer). Perhaps the previous wording was close to a copy-pasta from the main body. I've done a reword and let me know what you think. Lee Vilenski(

It looks fine now, Lee. That was all it needed. I'll do the promotion and add it to the GA list. Well done.
