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 will 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.

Immediate Failures

 * It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
 * It contains copyright infringements -
 * It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include,, or large numbers of , , or similar tags. (See also ). -
 * It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Lede

 * A few WP:SEAOFBLUE issues in the first sentence. Try and re-organise to avoid. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The tournament was the 31st staging of the eighteen-player competition - has the event always been 18 players? Also, MOS:NUM says we should use numbers for those above ten. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan - seaofblue again Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * defeating 1999 - Should comment it was the 1999 Masters winner, as we've just mentioned the World Championship Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * ten frames to three (10–3) - either/or. We don't need both. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * claim his first tournament victory since 1995, - Masters victory. Else it reads like he didn't win a tournament since 1995. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan won the tournament, defeating 1999 winner John Higgins ten frames to three (10–3) in the final to claim his first tournament victory since 1995, and his second Masters title in his fifth appearance in the final and second in a row - sentence is very long. Suggest a split. Saying he won his second in-a-row isn't that useful, seeings they were ten years apart. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

General comments

 * The first two paragraphs are more of a format or overview section. Perhaps this should be split out to it's own section. The summary in my eyes should be a summary of what happened at the event itself. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * There is some more seaofblue issues throughout. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * 1999 Masters champion John Higgins - reword. Avoid starting a sentence with a number. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * (who had an ear infection he had contracted three days earlier) 6–1. - this could potentially be it's own sentence. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * In the final first round game Hendry - Hendry hasn't been wikilinked in the article to this point (or said who he is.) Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * snooker career int he event - typo? Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * In the other semi-final, O'Sullivan beat White (competing in a record-breaking 11th Masters semi-final) - it isn't super clear that it was White, not O'Sullivan that was competing in his 11th. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * It was White's only response of the match. - this makes it sound like he didn't play another shot. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * In both of the Wild-card and main draw, we have floating references. We should really explain what the tables are. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Same with the centuries Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * good job with the flagicons! Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:16, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * The following are duplicate links:
 * Wembley Conference Centre, 2004 World Snooker Championship Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:19, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

Comments

 * Automated note - If you fancy returning the favour, I have outstanding GA nominations that require reviewing at WP:GAN. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these, however it's definately not manditory. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs)
 * - not too much to note. WP:SEAOFBLUE is the big one, and floating refs and a couple other things. On hold. Shouldn't be too bad to fix for promotion. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 20:21, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Have made all of the changes required to the article. MWright96 (talk) 16:09, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
