Tournament bracket
[edit]- I believe Reference 5 can also be used in this section to verify both the format and the seeds

Will put the review on hold to allow the nominator to address or query the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 12:31, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
- I've made the above changes MWright96. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 17:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Lee Vilenski: Can still see the lack of information on the semi-final match between the Phillipines and Germany and the inappropriate use of Sport, Matchroom and Release, Press being written into the last= and first= fields of several references. MWright96 (talk) 17:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- So, every other article about the first semifinal is now dead (with no archive). Not really sure what I can do. I've added the score to the section (and fixed the ref issues), but without a suitable ref, I can't expand the first semi-final.
- Ah, IPM to the rescue, should be fixed now. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 18:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Lee Vilenski: Now promoting to GA class. I've added some missing details to some of the references and had to remove one that had a archive url that was linked to something else although the IPM source did verify all the information in the first-semi-final match.
