Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cue sports (cf.

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.

"The event was broadcast on BBC One, and Eurosport in the United Kingdom." - The event was broadcast in the United Kingdom on
BBC Sport and
Eurosport.
Prize fund

The Aftermath section at the bottom of the article includes the draw for the 2019 Masters and what happened at the 2018 Scottish Open shortly after the UK championship. I think this is the wrong heading because the word "aftermath" normally means "the consequences or after-effects of a significant unpleasant event", like a big disaster, so not really appropriate here! I've changed it to "Follow-on events" for now, but if anyone can think of something better, I'd welcome your input as I'm struggling a bit. Maybe "Follow-up" or "Subsequent events" or "After the Masters" or something else?

You've pulled the unpleasant bit from nowhere. Aftermath is fine, see the following
WP:FA sports articles that use this term to mean after the event has finished.
009 Giro d'Italia,
SummerSlam (2003),
1924 Rose Bowl,
1877 Wimbledon Championship. Whilst not all sports articles use this, it's clearly a well used field, and I found more examples of an aftermath section than a reworded section. I vote to keep as is. Lee Vilenski(

Actually I got it from the dictionary:
Oxford dictionary: The consequences or after-effects of a significant unpleasant event
Cambridge dictionary: The period that follows an unpleasant event or accident, and the effects that it causes
I can only assume it takes on a different meaning in the sports field, but it disturbs me because it just looks wrong! Anyway your call.
