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.

"earned a two-year card to the World Snooker Tour for the 2020-21 snooker season"
- Reworded Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
"Event five" → "event five", as it follows a colon, not a period
- Sure, but "Event five" was the name of the tournament. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Suggest changing the target link from COVID-19 pandemic to Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sports
- I feel that's a bit WP:EASTEREGGy. I know we are all in the midst of this, but you have to think about how this might be read in 20 years time, and the link shows what the pandemic is, rather than an article on how it effected sports. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comma after "Played between August and July"
- done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Having finished top of the rankings and won two of the events, mixed tense
- I've reworded. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Allan Taylor, who finished seventh in the rankings won the play-off tournament and also gained a place on the World Snooker Tour. Sentence fragment
- I'm not sure I understand, but I've reworded slightly. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:14, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Format

"If there are less than 64 entries" → "If there are fewer than 64 entries", as there is a discrete number rather than a vague amount
"two year tour card" → "two-year tour card" for consistency with rest of article
- Done both. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:17, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

Use a script to fix all hyphen/en dash issues
Comma after "Brown won the sixth tournament"
"17 year old" → "17-year-old"
"Hugill who finished the season" → "Hugill, who finished the season"
First sentence of the second paragraph is technically a fragment, as there is no active verbs ("won" is part of the modifying clause)
- Done all Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:19, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Alternation between using www.worldsnooker.com, wst.tv, and World Snooker as the work parameters for the same website; suggest using the latter, if for purely aesthetic reasons

General comments

One photo used, relevant and properly licensed
The caption should have a period at the end, as it is a full sentence, per MOS:CAPTION
- Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:22, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
[7] Earwig score looks generally good at 13.0%
Some close paraphrasing in note [a]; suggest rewording to "Postponed due to inclement weather causing health and safety concerns at the venue"
- I've gone ahead and just reworded it to be really simple. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:22, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No stability concerns within the revision history
