Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

• third para could probably do with being merged with the first one. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• That should probably cover a bit more about the events from 1952-57. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• non-ranking snooker - I don't really like the links together like this, can't we just say "invitational snooker competition"? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Can move ref from infobox to prize fund. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Reworked lead to address the points above. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 13:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Nunawading Basketball Centre is this notable? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Looking at the Google News and Google books results, I think not. Delinked. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 13:45, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• BACC - expand on first usage. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Expanded. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• as an alternative to the World Snooker Championship[3] now recognised as world championships - as an alternative to the World Professional Championship. Although at first not deemed a world championship, it was later recognised as having the same lineage of the event." Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Reworded, but avoided "lineage" as I don't think that's quite appropriate. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Should probably mention that the World Snooker Championship was reinstated. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Excellent point. Amended. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• The tournament was staged from 28 November to 11 December 1976, at the Nunawading Basketball Centre in Burwood East, Melbourne, Australia, with 16 invited players participating - in here it's worth mentioning that this event didn't similarly have the lineage of the world snooker championship.

• editor of Snooker Scene, - needs "magazine" in there somewhere. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Added. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• And the later World Matchplay events as distinct despite - distinct what? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  Added a few words, which hopefully clarifies it. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• As we haven't mentioned it earlier, could we put the format into the summary (IE, when the matches were played, number of frames etc,) Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Took a while to get round dates. Overseas reports about "yesterday" and a syndicated article appearing on different days in different sources saying that a round was over "the next three" both confused me. There isn't enough in sources for individual match dates for all. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• As there isn't that much info in the semi and quarter-finals, maybe we could merge the individual paragraphs for those sections Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Done. (Even Snooker Scene only had a single page reporting on all the tournament results.) BennyOnTheLoose ( talk)

• We could take out the subsections too, it would look a little less bare. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Done. BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:51, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• pot the black - needs some cuegloss. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:17, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time.

• Sorry it took so long to get to Benny! I've added some comments above. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{( talk • contribs)} 12:18, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Many thanks, Lee Vilenski. I've addressed all of your points - please check to see if I've introduced any new issues by incorporating more history. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose ( talk) 15:53, 8 October 2021 (UTC) reply
