This article is within the scope of WikiProject Cue sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of pool, carom billiards and other cue sports on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Cue sportsWikipedia:WikiProject Cue sportsTemplate:WikiProject Cue sportscue sports articles
"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. Sutton, the one with no hands]
Media and misc.: Iwan Simonis (leading billiard cloth maker), Joss Cues (major cue mfr.), The Baron and the Kid [Johnny Cash film], Ultimate Pool Party [TV show]
And: everyone/thing listed at WP:CUEGAMES, WP:CUEEVENTS, WP:CUEORGS, WP:CUEBIOS, & WP:CUEMISC. 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).
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.
I'll review this. It's not a long article so I should be back in a day or two. BoJó | talk UTC 14:53, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hello again. I've read through this and noticed several minor issues that I've resolved myself instead of making an unnecessary list of them here. I think the article is well written and that's half the battle, I reckon. I'd like to read through it again, more thoroughly, and look in depth at the sources. There are certainly no issues with POV or stability; and it is well within scope. I think the background section is very useful. So, it's promising. Hope to be back soon.

The article is well written and the lead is fine. I think you have just the right breadth of coverage for a tournament review and it's all within scope. I'm happy with the sources and the article meets points 2a–2d of the GA criteria. I can understand that images may be difficult to obtain but you've got a good one of Ray Reardon. I think this is a good article and I'm promoting it to GA. Well done. BoJó | talk UTC 05:20, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
