Lead

 * "The 1952 World Snooker Championship was a snooker tournament held between Monday 25 February and Saturday 8 March 1952" - the days aren't really needed here
 * Changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:15, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "at Houldsworth Hall in Manchester, England" - comma missing after the word "Hall"
 * Changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:15, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "In winning the event, Lindrum became the first player from outside the British Isles to win the tournament," - repetition of "win"
 * Changed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:15, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "with some only counting Robertson's win due to the field of just two players." - what is meant by "some" in this context?
 * Sorry, Historians. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:15, 9 July 2021 (UTC)

Background

 * "Due to a dispute between the Professional Billiards Players' Association (PBPA) and the organisers for the event, the Billiards Association and Control Council (BACC), most players withdrew from the event." - repetition of "event"
 * Covered Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:36, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wikilink the term frame to the relevant article only on the first mention not on any other subsequent mentions
 * Covered Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:36, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The term round-robin will also be wikilinked to the correct article
 * "'''McConachy had performed badly, losing all eight matches"' - McConachy was defeated in each of the eight games he played
 * Covered Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:36, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
 * The Wikilink of the BACC in the third paragraph is unneeded but the word table can be to Billiard table

Summary

 * "Lindrum won eight of the next twelve to lead 14–10 after the second day's play." - a word is missing from this sentence
 * "Day five featured Lindrum extend his lead to 38–22 after day five," - The fifth day saw
 * "needing just two of the remaining 37 for victory." - a word is missing from this excerpt
 * "Lindrum won the first two frames to reach a winning 73–37 position on the 6 March."- on 6 March. per MOS:DATES
 * "The remaining 35 "dead" frames were due to be played," -
 * "Lindrum became the first player from outside the British Isles to win the World Championship, and would remain the only one until compatriot Neil Robertson won the event in 2010.[22]" - the fact of Robertson's 2010 victory will need an additional reliable source to verify it along with the one already at the end of this sentence
 * All covered. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:56, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
