Lead
[edit]- "It was the ninth ranking event" - tournament to avoid close reptition of "event"
- "The event was broadcast on BBC One, and Eurosport in the United Kingdom." - The event was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC Sport and Eurosport.
Prize fund
[edit]- "identical to that of the previous years event" - year's
Tournament summary
[edit]- "The 2018 UK Championship began on Tuesday 27 November 2018." - It's typically not the guidelines to include the name of the day of the week
- "were played over single-session best of 11 frame matches" - over a single-session that was held to the best of 11 frame matches
- "with the final played on Sunday 9 December" - same issue as the first issue in this section
Early Rounds (Rounds 1–4)
[edit]- "2018 Northern Ireland Open winner Judd Trump missed a black" - clarify that Judd Trump missed a black ball for non-snooker readers
- "Mark Williams and Barry Hawkins both recorded 6–0 whitewashes" - Wikilink whitewashes to Whitewash (sport)#
- "while Joe Perry knocked out Judd Trump by the same scoreline." - won against Judd Trump by the same scoreline and eliminated him from the competition.
- The entire fifth paragraph needs a reliable source to it

[edit]- "Prior to 2018/19 he had only reached the semi-finals of the 2018 Snooker Shoot-Out." - Prior to the 2018/19 season,

- "O'Sullivan took the championship in the 16th frame, thanks to a break of 78." - O'Sullivan complied a break of 78 in the 16th frame to win the championship.
- "and the total number of Triple Crown events (18), held by Stephen Hendry.[26][27][28][27]" - the second usage of Reference 27 is redundant
- "referring to Hendry's superior number" - I believe greater would be better here
Broadcast
[edit]- "The event's broadcasters were dependent by country" - tournament's for variety
- "with the BBC and EuroSport broadcasting across the United Kingdom and Europe" - {{xt|[[Eurosport}}
- "NowTV simulcasted the event in Hong Kong with additional commentary." - needs to be referenced to a reliable source
Controversy
[edit]- "The chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association, Jason Ferguson commented on the bans saying that players caught cheating "risk their careers and they will be caught"" - commented that players found cheating were
- "Ronnie O'Sullivan who has commented" - a comma is needed between "O'Sullivan" and "who"
Aftermath
[edit]- "Having been given a bye through the first round, Wells reached his first ranking event semi-final, creating a 4–0 lead against Mark Allen, before eventually losing 6–5. O'Sullivan did not compete at the event, but did work on Eurosport's coverage of it." - needs to have some reliable references to support these pieces of text
- "Allan, having been runner-up at the UK Championships," - Allen and Championship
- "including world champion Mark Williams, Stephen Maguire and Neil Roberton" - spelling error; Robertson
References
[edit]- Reference 1 is missing the newspaper that published the article
- As a general rule of thumb, all of the articles that list their respective writers and the dates they were published should be included in the revelant refernences
