List of UK Open Billiards Championship winners

 * Nominator(s): BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:34, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

This is probably the most complete list of UK Open Billiards Championship winners and finals available. The Championship used to attract decent amounts of press in the 1930s, but, like the game of English billiards itself, it has never again reached those giddy heights in terms of popularity. Extracts from the offline sources can be provided to any reviewers enthusiastic enough to want them. Thanks in advance for any comments to help improve this list.

 * Comments
 * Is there an appropriate wikilink to cover what "150-up" (and similar in the notes) is?
 * I've added slightly to the intro text, and reworded the notes. Hopefully an improvement. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 15:10, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * If I sort the table on any other column and then re-sort on date, January 1988 comes after November 1988 for some reason
 * I think I've fixed the sorting now, but let me know if not. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:42, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

 * Australia doesn't necessarily need to be linked
 * "and it was not contested again until 1952.[7][6]" - refs in numerical order, please
 * "reinstituted the tournament as an open event in 2015.[8][2]" - same issue as above
 * Perhaps you can mention how many players have won the championship in total in the third paragraph of the lead?
 * "Causier has taken three titles, and the only other players to have won the title more than once are two-time champions Williams, Robby Foldvari, and Roxton Chapman." - try and replace the word in bold with an equivalent word to avoid repetition of the same word
 * There is a typing error in the alt text of the third picture in the finals section, namely "A large conferene centre" which is highlighted in bold
 * Many thanks, . I've amended the article - let me know if anything else is required. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:02, 8 June 2023 (UTC)

See that some more supports may be needed, happy to review! That's all from me, very high quality article already. Nice job! MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 13:53, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * File:Tom Newman 1930.jpg - needs US tag
 * Remove WL on the publishers in citations 1 and 2, because the publishers aren't linked in any other citations
 * Change header in the last column to Ref(s), since some cells have multiple
 * Many thanks, . I've amended the article per the second and third points. For the image, I've added Template:PD-1996, which I think is appropriate, after looking at https://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-157483350 (the page about the collection the original image come from). Please let me know if this needs amending. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 16:02, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Support - All good now, PD-1996 is appropriate. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 21:38, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
