- "pool" is piped to a redirect in the opening sentence.

- " the event in 2017" make it "the 2017 event" so you can avoid an easter egg link.
- Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- "semi-finalist having reached the semifinals" hyphen or not?
- reworded Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- "the first ever Spanish player to" no need for "ever".
- Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- " plays fellow cue sport snooker" really no need for "fellow cue sport".
- Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- Where is date of birth referenced?
- added a sentence in the prose Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- " twice in both" no need for "twice" or "both".
- Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- " aged 5," five. And the latter age -> fourteen.
- aren't ages always numbers? I thought someone had told me that before. MOS:NUM says:
Comparable values should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7 and 32
, which is why I wrote this like this Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)- No, ages aren't always numbers. But you're right about the comparable values. Since we usually write out numbers less than 10 or those which can be written in one/two words (e.g. fourteen, thirty-two) then I've always opted for words.

- Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

- "Alcaide would repeat ..." too many run-ons here too.
- fixed Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:29, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- "Alcaide represented Spain" has represented, unless I suppose he's certain never to do it again.

Any reason why "2009 Predator International Ten-ball Tour – Portugal[34]" isn't mentioned in the prose? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:30, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
- I have added a little bit about this - the tour was barely much of a thing, but he did win it Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 11:59, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
And which is it in 2009, Italian or Treviso? The Rambling Man (Staying alive since 2005!) 11:45, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
