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.

Comment: Item is still WIP, but getting nomination in before deadline for expansion passes.

5x expansion by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 12:16, 7 February 2020 (UTC).[reply]

I'll review this one at lunchtime. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 10:51, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Officially launched into mainspace (from draft) on 1st February. Nominated within the deadline as noted above.
Prose length is fine at well over 7KB.
Sourcing is fine: article uses all the usual reliable sources for snooker tournament articles (Worldsnooker.com, Sporting Life, BBC Sport and Eurosport websites). SnookerHQ.com, which could appear unreliable from a WP perspective at first glance, is known to be acceptable for snooker articles.
Prose is fine and neutrally written throughout, with any quotations correctly identified; the article follows the usual format for snooker tournaments; and it is comprehensive.
No copyvio, close paraphrasing or plagiarism noted.
The hook fact is verified and suitably interesting. It could only happen to Mark Williams!!!
QPQ review done.

Just one issue outstanding: in the "Early rounds" section, there is a [Citation needed] tag for the sentence about Ronnie; I imagine this shouldn't be difficult to cite. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 13:22, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lee Vilenski I'm going to have to be annoyingly pedantic and say the source added doesn't support the sentence that he has missed several ranking events this season: it only refers to the non-ranking Masters. This article from World Snooker would be better, so if you could swap it in I'll go ahead and mark as verified.

Thanks for this Hassocks5489. I've added the ref. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:20, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Misuse of rollback

I copyedited the Tournament draw section in accordance with MOS:FLAGCRUFT; all players were identified by country in the table above. 86.42.85.52, with a history of edit-warring on snooker articles, rolled back my edits; rollback is intended to revert vandalism, not for a content dispute, and I don't have time to make the same edits twice. Miniapolis 01:26, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry you don't have the time to make the same edits twice, but there's no need to get upset. I edited the article as it wasn't with conformity to previous seasons, I should've put that as the reason. Nevertheless, as I look at the article this morning, the "tournament draw" section is a complete mess, so that'll definitely have to be fixed. Thanks for your report. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.42.85.52 (talk) 08:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SOFIXIT; I'm now working on another article, which is probably not being watched by edit-warriors. Before you revert edits next time, read the edit summary. Miniapolis 14:42, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I did fix it. I considered myself more of an editor, than an "edit-warrior", but that's okay if you need to debate like that. I did read the edit summary, and I reverted bad edits. Thanks again for all your help, appreciate it.

Making note of debutants

I think this is a noteworthy addition to this event, but ol' Vilenski disagrees as he is frequently wont to do. Can I get a big CONSENSUS up in here, or what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:BB6:1AE4:D658:9D4C:73D2:6695:FF2 (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
