I'll pick this one up, will post review as soon as possible. Kosack (talk) 11:19, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Initial review

Tournament summary

[edit]
  • "The tournament was the third annual UK Championship, first held in 1968", the Championship article states it was first held in 1977 unless I'm missing something?
  • "World championship semi-finalist", if its referring to an actual tournament, Championship will need a capital letter.
  • "Matches played until the final were played as best-of-17-frame matches, with the final played as best-of-27 frames .", played is used three times in this sentence which is slightly repetitive. There's a stray space at the end also.

Final

[edit]
  • "with two on the 30th and the final on 1 December", the different use of date formats is a little strange here. I know you've done it to distinguish but is there a better way to word this. Simply "with two held on the first day and the final session on the the second" or something along those lines?
  • "from the regular 1:45 p.m. start time to start at 12 p.m.", the double use of start sounds a little clunky.
  • "John Virgo won the final frame and his sole major title to win 14–13.", could do with reordering slightly. "Virgo (lose the John?) won the final frame to claim the match 14-13 and his sole major title win"?
  • Do we know why the cameramen were striking?
  • Also, was it just the cameraman and when did they leave? We have "final frames of the final" and then "leaving the arena during the final frame"?

Main draw

A couple of issues listed above. Nothing major. Placed on hold for now. Kosack (talk) 08:32, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy that all of the points above have been addressed and the article is in line with the GA criteria. Happy to promote. Kosack (talk) 05:58, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
