Images are appropriately licensed; sources are reliable.

  • "Trump gave away 60 foul points while trying to escape from a snooker": maybe this is the way it is phrased, but wouldn't this have to be "from a series of snookers"? And this sounds unusual enough to be worth maybe a sentence of description.
  • "Matches involving the top four seeds and the two wild card players were held over and played at the main venue": who were those four seeds and the two wild cards? I see there's no (1) or (3) seed in the main draw; is that because they lost in qualifying?

    • Not quite, it's mentioned a few times, but Robertson and Selby (who would have been first and third) withdrew from the tournament. They were both replaced in the qualifying draw by amateur players. The two local wildcards were both whitewashed (predictably) 5-0 in qualifying, so I didn't deem it notable to mention.

      Well, if we're going to mention the wild cards at all it seems easy enough to name them, and the fact that they were local adds a touch of colour -- perhaps "...and the two wild cards, local Turkish players Ismail Türker and Enes Bakırcı, were held over..."? For the seeds, I should have realized that the two withdrawals were the reason there was no (1) or (3) seed, but that still doesn't tell me who the four seeds who played in Turkey were. So then I guessed it must be seeds 2/4/5/6, but looking at the four other qualifying matches with an "[nb 1]" against them that doesn't seem right either -- Trump is one of them, and Wilson, but Boiko/Blackwell and Pinhey/Yize don't involve a top seed.

      • Yeah, I can add something on that. I think there is a small understanding - it wasn't the top four seeds who had their matches postponed, it was the matches that were drawn with those players which were played at the main venue. So, Selby's match was held-over, but was replaced by Pinhay. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 19:56, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Earwig reveals no issues. Spotchecks:

  • FN 30 cites "Trump took a 5–3 lead over Selt in the afternoon session of the final. In the first frame of the evening session, Trump gave away 60 foul points while trying to escape from a series of snookers, but won the frame with an 88 clearance. The players scored a combined 189 points in the frame, just three short of the all-time professional record of 192 set by Peter Lines and Dominic Dale in 2012." Verified.
  • FN 23 cites "In the round of 16, Graeme Dott defeated Higgins in a deciding frame. Ding also defeated Si in a decider, making breaks of 64, 93, 73, 127, 105, and 97 to reach his first ranking quarter-final since the 2021 German Masters. Selt defeated Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 5–1, making breaks of 72, 80, and 61." Verified.
  • FN 4 cites "following the Welsh Open and preceding the Gibraltar Open": verified.

Lee, I know you've been busy, so this is just a reminder so this doesn't drop off your to-do list. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 10:35, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Mike - I did add something similar to the only outstanding point. Did you have anything else that needs addressing? Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 11:14, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should explain "Matches involving the top four seeds" a bit more clearly -- I wasn't able to figure it out, as you saw above, so I think other readers will have the same problem. Some version of the explanation you gave me above would work. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:18, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I've added something to that end. Lee Vilenski (talkcontribs) 18:50, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That takes care of it. Passing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:09, 18 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
