  • These two articles are new enough and long enough. The articles are neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. Two QPQs have been done. If we are wanting a two-article hook, we are looking at ALT3. Now I am familiar with snooker and its scoring, but not pool. I can see the hook facts in both articles, so please tell me how the tiebreaker works. Was Peach involved in all of these frames or did he just clinch the match? Why does the article mention Britain in one place and the United Kingdom elsewhere? Should the hook mention the nationality of the team involved? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:11, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • thanks for the review Cwmhiraeth, the playoff isn't a normal thing in pool, it was specific for this tournament. So, it was a playoff match with a first to six frames, but each team had to win by two frames. It was also in rotation, so the interesting bit is that the match was tied for such a long time, and that Peach was the one (out of four) that won the match. The thing about the countries was the sourcing was in German for some of the articles, I'm pretty sure it was a British team, rather than a United Kingdom, but I don't think there are any Irish pool players regardless. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:48, 13 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, I came by to promote ALT3a, but it just seems like a straight score line: Person wins match with this score. If it's so interesting that it was tied for so long, maybe say that in the article and hook. If the playoff match was unique to the tournament, say that in the hook. Yoninah (talk) 11:53, 20 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry didn't realise this had stalled. This one is quite similar to the Isner Vs Mahut Wimbledon match, in that it was a best-of-11-racks match, but in total 52 racks were played. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:38, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are several events per year (5-10 usually) and the article goes into this. The dates are to give the years that events were won, rather than just say "Peach won four events". I am planning to do some Draft:2019 Euro Tour Season articles, but it's a long way away. The years themselves seem plenty.

Overall reminders and comments

[edit]
  • Make sure there aren't any duplicate Wikilinks throughout the body of the article (per MOS)
  • "English, British, Great Britain, United Kingdom, England" a lot of different terms used throughout the article that seem to mean the same (or almost the same) thing. I suggest being consistent and sticking to one terminology for the ones that mean the same thing. If any are different, say so / explain in the first instance.
They are different. Much in the same way as "the Americas", North America and the United States of America are different. It's not up for this article to explain the difference between them. If you fancy being ultra confused, there is also the British Isles. He is English (as in, he is a citizen of England), has represented England, but some sports has represented Great Britain (such as at the World Cup of Pool). This isn't something that is unique to pool. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:47, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. What's the difference between England and United Kingdom? Can we replace UK with England? And can all instances of "British" be replaced by "English"? Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
To make things simple, England is a country. Great Britain (is an few countries as one (including Scotland and Wales.) The United Kingdom also includes Northern Ireland - note, there is more to it than this, there's places like the Isle of Man and Jersey but that just adds to the issue - I can't simply change these, they are different things. Certain sporting competitions feature players representing the different sovereign states. British is fundamentally different from English in a lot of cases. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:10, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Alright. I trust your judgement on this. Bobbychan193 (talk) 20:19, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • "partnering xyz" I don't know if I like this format. If it's part of cue sports MOS or something, then it's fine. If not, but it's grammatically correct, then that's fine as well. Otherwise, change all instances to "partnering with xyz"
  • Try to add free-use pictures throughout the article (if they are available).

World nine-ball champion (2007)

[edit]
  • This section seems a little long. It's only one year (2007), but it spans four paragraphs that take up a lot of the article. This potentially raises concerns about undue weight; even if this section isn't overly detailed, this would suggest that the rest of the article is not detailed enough. I don't want you to have to write a lot of new content for the rest of the article (and it might be really hard to find sources about events that occurred 15 to 30 years ago). As such, even if Peach had some amazing achievements in 2007, try to cut this section down a bit. Delete any content that doesn't really matter in a biographical article about Peach. (I.e. A lot of the details and minutia regarding individual matches can be placed in each tournament's article, but they don't really matter in this article.) I'll review this section last, after you're done trimming it.  Pending Bobbychan193 (talk) 04:00, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really sure what you want. It was his biggest triumph, he won the world championship. The title win was also marred with controversy, after his win over Van Boening. I could split the section, but I really don't think it needs any splitting upm section headers are used to fund specific information, I feel it's of correct size, and an WP:UNDUE argument could only be established if the event wasn't that important to the subject. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:55, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I guess my main issue with it is that it has a lot of specific details. For example, "commented in an interview with the BBC" can be shortened to "commented in a BBC interview", "told BBC", or even just "commented". Also, the entire second and third paragraphs seem to revolve around one event. They're really detailed, and they seem like a play-by-play of individual games. These details would be fine on an article like 2007 WPA Men's World Nine-ball Championship, where the details of individual games would be okay and even welcomed. I just personally think the details are a bit excessive for a biographical article. If you really want to keep everything, that's fine, and I'll review this section as is. Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:26, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The above remark is right, and I've changed. It's by far the most notable part of his career, and going into depths about how he won his sole world championship is right. I'll see if I can cut stuff. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:13, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd mention that most of the issues you are having revolve around his match with Bustamante, which certainly isn't worth cutting, and then the bit on the Mosconi Cup, which almost had a fist-fight. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:15, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reigning world champion (2008–2010)

[edit]
Yeah, I already had. I've been through the vast majority of the German wiki creating articles, but they have years of Euro Tour and player articles I haven't got too yet. I generally link them if they exist. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:56, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:30, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We don't link to major landmasses and countries like this, unless obscure. See WP:OL Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:00, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Chinese Taipei is the one some readers might not know, so I would link that one and keep the rest unlinked. Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:30, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I can tell, they only ever competed in this professional tournament. I doubt they are notable Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:01, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Championships and accomplishments

[edit]
  • "Championships and accomplishments" are any of these entries not championships? If so, specify. If not, delete "and accomplishments"
This one's a MOS thing - it's just so it's consistent with articles that have "player of the year" and hall of fame entries. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:08, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Last citation is inconsistent (website is "AzBilliards.com" instead of azbilliards.com; it's also not italicized, so I suspect it's in the wrong parameter)
  • Last two tournaments (2010 and 2009) are out of order chronologically
  • If you have time, change this into a table format like the one at Ding Junhui (the table under Ding's "Performance and rankings timeline" might take too long to make, so you can just do something similar to the tables under "Career finals")
Those are strictly for snooker players. The MOS:CUE has nothing for this. Snooker and cue sports differ on this one. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:08, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why? The current template does a lot more than just give the players link in azbilliards. It also generates information for wikidata. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:09, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citations

[edit]
the cites at the end of the sentence/paragraph cover this. Not every piece of punctuation needs a cite. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, that's my bad. I didn't click into the link; I only saw "German Open" in the title and assumed it didn't cover the earlier events. Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:29, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • In 2005, Peach competed in all six Euro Tour events, reaching the main stages in each of them.[citation needed]
Again - this information is backed up by the following sentences. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • "He reached the last 16 stage at the Belgium and Swiss Opens, the quarter-finals at the German and Costa Del Sol Opens and the semi-finals of the Austria Open." make sure the citation is a source for all of these; if not, add citations where needed
It is! Luckily, the Euro Tour has a statistics page that shows every players positioning for every event. That's what's linked. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 09:12, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • There seem to be some missing citations throughout the "Reigning world champion (2008–2010)" section. I won't be pointing them out individually, but make sure every match/outcome is cited.
I haven't checked whether every statement is cited, but if they are, don't worry about this. Bobbychan193 (talk) 19:29, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
