Venues[edit]

Different venues were used for different events by this name, including: The Dome, Doncaster; Brentwood Centre; and (for the one-off), Nunawading Basketball Centre. These should be covered in the article's body, probably in the table. At least one of the sources cited already provides this information, so no new source is needed. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 15:14, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No images to review. Sources are reliable.

"The PBPA disaffiliated from the BACC from 1 October 1970,[30] and was renamed the WPBSA on 12 December 1970.[31]: 45 The 1976 World Professional Match-play Championship was promoted by Charlton promoted in Melbourne with WPBSA approval" This seems a bit compressed. We don't give what the W standards ("World", I would guess); we don't say why they disaffiliated or why that matters (in fact I had assumed from the 1950s events that the two organizations had nothing to do with each other); and we start the second sentence as if the reader already knows what the 1976 match is, and we're just telling them who promoted it. And it looks like there's some editing debris there?
"The events from 1952 to 1957 are regarded as world championships but the 1968 and 1976 matches are not." I think we have to say who it is that regards them this way -- the current official governing body of snooker, whoever that is?
I assume you don't give the results of the 1968 match or Hearns' tournament in the "Finals" section because they're not part of the topic of this article. if so, I think they should be separated so the reader doesn't get confused. Perhaps a section before "Finals" called "Similarly named events", which could list both those and link to them?

Other than those points this article is in good shape. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:02, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
