5x expanded by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 09:39, 24 February 2021 (UTC).

• I'm comparing the current revision of the article to this revision before the expansion began. I'm using this tool for checking the character count. The prose size was 1474 characters before, and stands at 6856 characters after the expansion, which slightly falls short of the 5X mark (7370 characters). The article is new enough, well-referenced, no copy-vios detected, hook cited-inline / interesting, QPQ done. I'd be happy to pass this once the issue is addressed.

Ashleyyoursmile, why would you use that prior revision, when it is significantly after the expansion started? Why not use this one from 6 days before? [7] DYKtool is happy Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:37, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Lee Vilenski, apologies if this doesn't make sense, but I was comparing with this revision since you started the expansion just after this. Ashleyyoursmile! 10:47, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Ashleyyoursmile, that isn't how expansion works. It just requires the article to have been expanded 5x in the prior 7 days. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 10:53, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• "It was the fifth of six events in the European Series and the fourth and final event of the Home Nations Series." - repetition of "event(s)"
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:47, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
• "Ranked 81st in the world, Brown became the lowest-ranked player to win a ranking event since world number 93 Dave Harold won the 1993 Asian Open.[1] He also became the first Northern Irish player to win a Welsh Open title.[2]" - think these two sentences can also be mentioned in the prose
  • Moved to body Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:47, 28 September 2021 (UTC)

Format

• Wikilink the term frames to the relevant article only on the first mention
• "broadcast locally by BBC Cymru Wales; Quest and Eurosport in Europe;"- perhaps add more broadcasters that are mentioned by World Snooker?
• "The player accumulating the highest amount of prize money over the six events receives a bonus of £150,000." - received
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 12:58, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Prize fund

• "The event's total prize fund was £405,000, with the winner receiving £70,000. The player accumulating the highest amount of prize money over the six events receives a bonus of £150,000." - needs verifying by a reliable source
  • DoneBest Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:02, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Early rounds

• "and required to move up four places to play in the next event," - move up is ungrammatical
• "World number one Judd Trump defeated Chinese players Zhao Jianbo and Si Jiahui" - needs to be verified by a reliable source
• The term break can be wikilinked to the appropriate article
• "Jordan Brown defeated Luo Honghao, Sam Craigie and Alexander Ursenbacher" - same issue as the second point in this section
  • done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:05, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Quarter final-to final

• "Murphy, the defending champion was defeated 4–5 by Maguire." - missing comma between the words "champion" and "was"
• "The match lasted three hour" - spelling error
• "center pocket" - centre
• "Brown then made breaks of 56, 113 and 59 winning the next five frames to win the match 6–1."- repetition of "win(ning)
• "having turned professional in 2009;" - not mentioned in the World Snooker source at the end of the sentence this is in
• "and lead 4–1 after a century break" - led
• "and showed signs of frustration. Brown made a break of 56 to lead 8–7." - not sure the text highlighted in bold is encyclopedia
  • That is what the source says though Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
• "Brown 'won the match after a break of 74 in the 17th frame to win 9–8." - won the match 9–8 after a break of 74.
  • completed the rest. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:21, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Tournament draw

• "Players in bold denote match winners.[10][9]" - refs in numerical order please
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Century breaks

• Source "BetVictor Welsh Open 2021 | Centuries" says there were 72 centuries not 73. This figure will need correcting and the extra century not included in the reference deleted if it cannot be verified
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:24, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

References

• The works for the two Eurosport references should be either written as Eurosport or Eurosport UK not both
  • Those are different websites though - It's like citing IGN, or IGN Italy. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:44, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
• References 1 and 2 are missing both the author and the publication date
• The same references have different date formats than the remainder
• Reference 5 title: "Calendar 2020/2021_February"." - the text in bold is unneeded
• The hyphens in the titles of References 6, 10 and 13 need to be replaced by en dashes (–) per MOS:DASH
• References 14 to 18 are missing the publication dates
• The publication dates are lacking from the templates for References 20 to 26

Shall put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above MWright96 (talk) 18:30, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi MWright96, I have covered the above. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:34, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Lee Vilenski: Most of the World Snooker references are still missing their publication dates as well as the Championship Snooker citation "CLS Added To BetVictor European Series" and the Eurosport citation "Welsh Open 2021 – Judd Trump stunned by Hossein Vafaei to crash out at Celtic Manor Resort" MWright96 (talk) 14:03, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Should be covered now. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:44, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
