- Lead
- Remove "Having won almost £2 million in prize money" unless a reliable source is found.
- "an additional two more ranking events at the 2018 Paul Hunter Classic" - re-word or add some punctuation
- Career
- Early career (2009–13): "During the 2009–10 season, Wilson won the sixth event and was runner-up in the third event of the International Open Series and finished fifth in the rankings." didn't read well to me. There are a few options, e.g "Wilson won the sixth event of the International Open Series, after winning..." or "Wilson finished fifth in the rankings in the International Open Series after..."

- Personal life
- I've removed unsourced information. This can be added back in if there are reliable sources.
- Performance and rankings timeline
- No source cited. (maybe snooker.org would be appropriate?)
- Cited. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Great, just needs a fix to the name of the author (C1 control character). Checked a sample, no issues found. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 14:11, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Seems a little strange to keep 2011/12 and 2012/13 in the table, even with the note. Consider removing these columns, or additional visual indicator (e.g. different colouring for those years in the header column.) Not a big issue, so not necessary to change this if it's a large task to adapt the template.
- It is because they played in tournaments during these years (specifically the Players Tour), that is why they have those seasons in the table. If they had played in none of the tournaments, the seasons wouldn't be on the table. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

- Hi BennyOnTheLoose, if you'd like to let me know if you'd like the century break and prize money culled from the article, or if you know of a better source, everything else is done. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 07:22, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Lee Vilenski. Frustratingly, I can't find reliable sources for these. The prize money is quite different from his "money list earnings" at his WPBSA profile, perhaps because they are different measures. (Is money list only from ranking events?) I think these will have to be taken out, which is unfortunate as I'm sure many readers would like to see the information. Any ideas? Other than that, I've added a couple of minor points about the lead. The changes you've made all look good at first viewing. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 09:31, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- No worries, BennyOnTheLoose - I've removed the uncited, and changed the two items in the lede. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:22, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, Lee Vilenski. I'm happy to pass this for GA now. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 18:16, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
