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. [1], etc.) – presently redirects to Cue sports, but this is not an OoK page.
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]).

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.

Comments

Heading over infobox should be consistent with article title I guess.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"in the final 9–8" -> " 9–8 in the final"

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Oliwia Czuprynska " has a diacritic missing.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"with the winner receiving €4,500." each winner? Was the fund across both men's and women's events?

I thought it was the same for each. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox is pure sexist as it doesn't include the women's champion/runner-up. That needs to be addressed.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Venue in infobox is "NH Koningshof" that's not mentioned anywhere else.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

" double-elimination knockout tournament" no need for knockout, that's what "elimination" means.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sortable table is a bit of a mess, total moves when sorted, and why no heading for "round" or whatever the first column means? And once again, needs clarifying, this funding was the same for both the men's and women's events?

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

" The event had a total of 193 participants, including all top-16 players" across both men's and women's? Worth noting.

As below Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the "Tournament summary" should really be a top-level heading under which you have "Men's event" and "Women's event" as next-level headings.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Mateusz Śniegocki" is missing a diacritic.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Gray is a snooker player, not a pool player!

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"He was awarded a walkover" why?

Because there's 193 entrants. I can't find a source saying exactly this though. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Francisco Sánchez Ruíz" more diacritics missing.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

" Reigning World nine-ball champion Joshua Filler " no need to capitalise "World".

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"in 2018.[20][14] " numerical order.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"championship 9–2.[16][14]" ditto.

Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"both had 2,400 points.[22]" first and only time you talk about points, not sure it's relevant after you've already said they were tied for number one spot.

agreed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Apply all the diacritic changes to the tournament summary table.

I think I have it all TRM. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:28, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I made a few extra tweaks which you are, of course, free to remove. Otherwise we're good to go here. Nice updates, another good article for cue sports. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 15:54, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
