Reviewer: Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs) 20:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Immediate Failures

It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
It contains copyright infringements -
It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

Prose

Lede

Lede sentence is a bit long, could probably be split. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is it worth mentioning that the Cricket championship is a darts event? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Short description? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is it worth mentioning the events differently, say "the festival consisted of five events. The World Cricket Championship was won by the world number one, Phil Taylor who defeated Mark Walsh", ect. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Is it worth mentioining the prize fund in the lede? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:51, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

General

It replaced the Las Vegas Desert Classic - say the festival did this, or it's not certain which event did. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WCC games were best-of-5 legs - best-of-five. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
with eight seeds from the highest eight PDC Order of Merit entrants. Seeds were not used for the WCC but were for the three Players Championship events - with the highest eight entrants on the PDC Order of Merit being seeded. At the three Players Championship events, seeds were also used, but not at the WCC event. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Any images we can use in this article? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
while Mark Walsh lost five legs - lost only five legs. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}
d the 20 bed before Walsh took the 19, 18, 17 and 15 beds - link the first usage. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I know you use it in the note, but perhaps explain what Cricket (darts) is. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
PDC USOPC - you don't need the PDC. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Link ring, you link Bullseye, but not what a ring specifically is. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The term ring is not mentioned in the Glossary of darts article MWright96 (talk) 21:49, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - That seems like something that should be added! Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:18, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Somewhere in the brackets, you need to state this isn't the full draw. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A {{main}} link to 2010 World Cricket Championship (darts) above that draw might be suitable. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:01, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
