Reviewing this in comparison to 1980 World Snooker Championship since that's an FA and I don't know snooker very well.


 * 1980 has a sentence about this being the preeminent snooker tournament that's absent here - not a fail criteria by any means but worth noting for consistency
 * 1980 has the prize fund as a subsection of the overview/background - any reason this is different?
 * "Stevens whitewashed former champion John Pulman" - most snooker terms are helpfully linked, but not this. Can it be?
 * No other gripes through the Qualifying section. Prose is generally tight
 * "priced at 6–1" is priced an accepted synonym for having odds? I've never seen it, but then I'm not British
 * This article moves at a great clip. I love the way you introduce interesting details like the lager cure, but generally keep the early match summaries crisp.
 * Great use of the pull quote from Everton about Griffiths, I can just picture it
 * Again, I can find no fault with the match descriptions in the Semi-finals and Finals sections. We move along smoothly without getting bogged down in detail but without being too dry. I don't know a thing about snooker but I was able to follow the tempo of the match reasonably well.
 * Remainder of sections are basically statistical and are in line with the standard set by the 1980 article, so no concerns there.
 * Images are appropriately used, freely licensed, and properly captioned
 * No concerns about sourcing, which is in line with other snooker articles
 * Taking the offline sources on GF, I have no concerns with the spot checks on online sources
 * No CV or close paraphrasing issues either

There's a few nitpicks that might make the article more perfect, so to speak, but this is a clear pass in its current state. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 18:33, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
