Preliminary qualifying?

[edit]
Resolved

I noticed that recent articles on the world championship have that, but it's absent this year. Is that because no preliminary qualifying took place or is it because it just hasn't been added? In the former case, a note to explain why this was the first championship for many years not to feature that would be informative. (I looked and can't find reference to it taking place.) Thanks and keep up the good work. Valenciano (talk) 19:53, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It didn't take place this year. Unfortunately such a note can't be added, as no reliable source contains any explanation, why it was eliminated this year. Armbrust The Homunculus 19:58, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's explained in this info from World Snooker, note 4: "In the event that places become available should any player not enter an event, places will be filled on an event by event basis using the Q School 2013 order of merit to fill any places up to the 128 entries required. " Whether or not this merits inclusion in this article I leave to others to decide. Best regards, Finn Rindahl (talk) 23:38, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that's needed, it's not mentioned for the other ranking event articles of this season either. Also it doesn't really address the absence of the preliminary qualifying. (The "filling empty places from the Q School order of merit" principle was used last year too, and there were preliminary rounds.) Armbrust The Homunculus 23:49, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-final section

[edit]
Resolved

In the semi-final section it states that Robertson has lost his number 1 spot having lost to Mark Selby which is correct, but is it not premature to say he lost it to Ding as Selby could be number 1 if was to win the final. Surely Ding's position is not official till the tournament is over. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 17:52, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're right.  Fixed. Armbrust The Homunculus 17:57, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio and plagiarism check

  • I checked all matches showing above 4% on Earwig's Copyvio detector. No concerns.

Tournament summary

Qualifying

First round

Second round

Quarter-finals

  • Looks fine.

Semi-finals

  • "O'Sullivan played Hawkins contested the first semi-final.." - slight reword required. I changed it to " O'Sullivan and Hawkins contested the first semi-final.."
  • The "Rampant Ronnie races into final" source is now credited to Hector Nunns on the live site, but to David Hendon (as per the reference here) on the archived copy. I don't know if any change is required for this.

Final

  • "The third session concluded after just six of the scheduled eight frames" - presumably because time ran out, I suggest stating the reason if possible.
    • Source says Eight frames were scheduled for the session but it was a measure of the attritional nature of the action that they could only fit six in before the interval. - so you could infer a few things, but this borders on OR. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:55, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "127 and 87— came consecutively" is not supported by the source used here. Also - were they in consecutive visits, or just in consecutive frames?
