Comments That's it from me, on hold. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 17:06, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "2019 Riga Masters" vs "2019 Kaspersky Riga Masters" vs "2019 Kaspersky Lab"... needs alignment and consistency (and explanation).
 * done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "withdraw from qualifying round matches " well, I guess it's worth noting they therefore could participate at all.
 * done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * " Arēna Rīga " is not mentioned outside the lead/infobox.
 * added to prose. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * WPBSA as organisers isn't mentioned outside the infobox.
 * Added Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Mention highest break in the lead per other such articles.
 * done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Check other recent GAs, lead is a little light, do we include prize money? Definitely need to include Kaspersky (Lab) explanation there too.
 * done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * " The event had no top-20 players reach the quarter-finals." -> "No players from the top 20 in the world reached the quarter-finals"?
 * done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Reverse first two sentences of Format.
 * done Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "where matches played " were.
 * reworded Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No need to relink Joyce in the second image caption (or even repeat his first name I suppose).
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Link World Snooker. And if it was organised by WPBSA, what does World Snooker have to do with it?
 * WPBSA are the governing body, whilst World Snooker are the administrative arm for snooker. I have no idea which of these would be considered the official "organiser". I actually thought it was just a re-branding to be honest, but they are two legally different companies. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Ok, fair enough, just curious. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:41, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "The round of 64 match" -> "The round-of-64 match"
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "was not held due to both players" replace "due to" with "as"
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "a second-round bye." I've always preferred to reduce ambiguity, do you mean "a bye into the second round" or "a bye into the third round"?
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "2018 runner-up Jack..." avoid starting with a number.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "before losing to Mark Joyce." ref?
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "After the round of 16, all eight players remaining had world rankings below 20." weird phrasing.  "No player qualifying for the quarter-finals was ranked in the top 20 in the world" or similar?
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * ", the final day of the event." self-explanatory if the final was played that day.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * " thus reaching " no need for thus.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "missed a routine yellow," somewhat POV to describe a yellow as "routine", if it's a quote, quote it.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "Neither played made " player.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "awarding Yan enough penalty points to win the frame." what new rule is this??
 * reworded Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "with breaks of 50 or higher" no break was made of 50...
 * reworded Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "Certain players had " just say how many!
 * ❌ I can't. There's some ambiguity as to if Duane Jones and Harvey Chandler missed the event due to flight issues, or other reasons. Sources just say "certain players" or, because of the "amount of players". There were 15 withdrawals in the competition, but I can't say how many were due to the flight complications. Robertson said "about 10".  Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries, I had thought that might be the case after I finished the review...! The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:41, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Probably need w/d and w/o explained.
 * indeed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Flags in the Main draw section!!
 * ❌ Not sure what the issue is, this has the regular fix. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski  (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Forget it, my brain mis-firing. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:41, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Referee Tatiana should be mentioned in the prose, not just the summary table.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * "Arēna Rīga" in the summary table is redirect, the other versions in the article aren't redirects (it's the diacritics).
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Qualifying in England should be mentioned in the lead.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Replace spaced hyphens in the ref titles with spaced en-dashes.
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Three things outstanding, rest is done. Thanks for your help . Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 08:16, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

All good, happy to promote now. I made a minor change (the sponsorship was covered twice in consecutive sentences with different names!), but otherwise I'm happy with all the above. The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 07:43, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
