Low

This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.

WikiProject Cue sports to-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Lots of high-priority articles need to be created:

List of wanted articles...

Games: A bunch of high-priority game redlinks, e.g. American four-ball billiards (redirs to Four-ball billiards but not specifically covered there)
"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]
Male pool bios: Hsia Hui-kai
Female pool bios:
Male three-cushion bios: Dion Nelin & Jozef Bel Philipoom
Female carom bios: Aygen Berk Saygıner
Aristic pool bios: Nick Nikolaidis, Mark Dimick, Sebastian Giumelli, Eric Yow
Unranked in current pool but notable: Mike Eufemia, Shannon Daulton, Jimmy Reid (pool player) [speed pool champ], var. Mosconi Cup players
Non-player figures: Mitch Laurance, George Fels
Five-pins bios: Gustavo Zito
Organizations: Joss Tour
Events: WPA World Nine-ball Championships (pre-1997), BCA Open Nine-ball Championship, World 14.1 Continuous Championship, International Challenge of Champions (pool)
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).
Meta: Outline of cue sports (OoK; cf. , etc.) – presently redirects to Cue sports, but this is not an OoK page.
Internal pages: Something like: ). 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. ).

Cleanup : Thomas Engert, Marlon Manalo
Copyedit : Jonni Fulcher
Expand : Cue sports techniques#Carom shots (section needs to exist), Straight pool, Alfredo de Oro,Jeanette Lee (pool player)
NPOV : Andy Segal (major WP:COI and WP:V issues, too), Jose Parica (it's bad!); Efren Reyes, Thomas Engert, Dennis Orcollo, Dick Jaspers
Photo : Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports people
Split : List of World Eight-ball Champions - blackball stuff needs own article {draft split from real eight-ball one (draft).
Stubs : loads of players in Category:Cue sports stubs
Update : Arcade game (link to bagatelle, bar billiards, etc.)
Verify : Cue stick (mostly WP:OR!), Frank Taberski (has major fact conflict between BCA & NYT sourcing), Russian pyramid, add sources to Unreferenced BLPs
Wikify : Chicago (pool), Jonni Fulcher
Other :
- 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?
- CopyVio rewrite:
- Clarify: What is the "continuous pool" listed above "14.1 continuous" at Alfredo DeOro?
- Delete or defend:
- Move/Rename (and Redirect):
- Redirect:
- Unorphan:
- Ensure: that rules discussions in game articles & the Billiard techniques article do not violate WP:NOT#IINFO.
- Help fix: WP:CUEBIOS#Pool players (women) is nearly empty!
- Help develop: the lists of WP:CUEORGS and WP:CUEEVENTS
- 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.
- Change:
- Replace:
- Some day: Seek Featured Topic status.
- Plunder: the French article; it does have some interesting tidbits, structure and images. Check out de.wikipedia, etc., as well.
- Inter-wiki: Improve simple:Billiards and foreign-language key articles.

"2001 World Snooker Championship" is overlinked.
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"The Brighton Centre, where the tournament was held." fragment, no full stop.
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"in 1995. Players competed " merge these short sentences, "in 1995 in which players competed"
- Done MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"The Champions Cup had a prize fund of £200,000,[3] and was broadcast in the United Kingdom on ITV.[2]" probably worth noting how much went to the winner.
- Added MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"The final on 19 August was played to the best-of-13 frames." this is oddly placed as you talk about the final then go back to describing the round robin stage.
- Moved to the end of the paragraph MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
" the semi-finals" you don't mention when these were played.
- Added MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Ronnie O'Sullivan (pictured in 2011)" complete sentence so needs a full stop.
- Added MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"fourth frame" frame is overlinked.
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
2000/01 - our article uses 2000–01 (as you did in the preceding section).
- Done MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"could not go 3–2 ahead because h" reads odd to me. It's rather "He failed to take a 3–2 lead after..."
- Done MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Higgins entered the" entered seems odd to me, how about "qualified for"?
- Reworded MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"1999 final " is overlilnked.
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Because you're fixing the width of the table colums, Hendry and O'Sullivan's names span over two lines.
- Fixed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
Group B table must contain an error: adding up FDs should come to zero. I think Higgins should be FW 14 FL 12 FD +2. The source repeats the error.
- Corrected MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Players in bold denote match winners" in the right-hand list sure, in the tables players in bold represent the players who qualified for the semi-finals...
- Fixed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Numbers to the left of the players' name are the tournament seedings. " why change the format of how to represent the seedings from section to section?
- Made consistent MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Best of 13 frames.[4]" no full stop required.
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"Brighton Centre, Brighton, England, 19 August 2001.[28][32]" ditto.
- Removed MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
"The highest break of 130 " and prize for that?
- Added MWright96 (talk) 16:56, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

That's all I have on this first review. On hold. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 15:13, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
