Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the ✅ tag to state when something is addressed.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Lede

 * ranking snooker - reword to avoid WP:SEAOFBLUE.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. BennyOnTheLoose (talk)


 * Usually when we do these ledes, we mention how many events there were in the season.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * It's easier to say there were x ranking events for seasons where there is a clear professional circuit; it's less easy when there was only one ranking event. I know there is a list at 1976–77 snooker season but I'm not sure this is suitable as a source for numbering - e.g. Pot Black is omitted from almost all serious record books (other than listing winners); there were Pontins Open and Warners Opens, at least four or five other pro-am events, and the Ashton Court professional (invitational) event. I don't think we have clear criteria, or a guiding source, for which of these to include, so it may be better to stick with saying that it "was the only ranking event of the 1976–77 snooker season" which I've added.

 * The event was sponsored by cigarette manufacturer Embassy and for the first time was held at the Crucible, which has remained as the venue for the Championship since then. - these should be two sentences, or re-ordered, or it sounds like Embassy still sponsor the event.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Reworded. BennyOnTheLoose (talk)


 * reword "main event". In things like boxing, this means the final match, wheras we mean it be the main tournament.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:12, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Reworded. BennyOnTheLoose (talk)

General

 * Overview should probably mention qualifying, at least in passing.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Also defending champion  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Added both. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Reardon isn't linked in body, but should be mentioned in the section above as the past point.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Now linked in body. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Link Birmingham.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Link century break on first usage.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Linked the two above. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Quarter-finals need an expansion.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Expanded a bit. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)


 * We usually put the final section as a subsection of draw.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * That table is pretty massive. Can we not just put the 50+ breaks in brackets rather than another row?  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Amended it. Let me know what you think. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:05, 29 August 2022 (UTC)


 * In the prose, you put Virgo down as winning a preliminary qualifying round, but in qualifying, it's round one and two. Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 13:20, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Amended. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:50, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
