Talk:2023 Shanghai Masters

Lead

Overview

I think the background information should have it's own subsection. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

was won by Dominic Dale, who trailed 2‍–‍6 in the final against Ryan Day, only to win eight consecutive frames for a 10‍–‍6 victory: I think these details of the final of the first iteration of the tournament are unnecessary detail for this article. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

O'Sullivan was the defending champion, having won the 2019 edition of the tournament with an 11‍–‍9 victory over Shaun Murphy: I think this should be at the end of the previous paragraph with the rest of the background information. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Reliability (criterion 2b) clock

The Daily Express ([25]) is an unreliable tabloid. It also doesn't support the break sizes anyways. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

snooker.org ([3]) and snookerinfo.co.uk ([41]) appear to be self-published websites? IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

I see no issues with the other citations.

Spot check (criteria 2b, 2c and 2d) clock

The following issues were found using this automated tool and then manually checked:

[7, 8a, 9a]: Doesn't mention that the four highest-ranked Chinese players outside the top 16 were Zhou Yuelong, Fan Zhengyi, Si Jiahui, and Pang Junxu. Fan Zhengyi is not mentioned at all. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

[8b]: Doesn't support. You could use [14] for this though. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

[11a]: Most is not supported IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

[12]: A snapshot of the world rankings (especially from the linked 2020!) cannot be used to support the statement "players were seeded in the tournament by their world ranking". A secondary source will be needed. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Note @HurricaneHiggins that for the content you wrote in this section, the TSI was generally good, but you should check the TSI of content already in the article before assuming it meets GA standards. WP:WHOWROTETHAT shows that most the TSI issues in this section were in text from when the article was created as a stub. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

[20a]: Not sure what has happened here, but the source says it was a 6–5 victory not 6–4. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

[22]: Doesn't support the 56-point lead or the 103 break. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

[35]: Doesn't support at least Brecel played in his first Shanghai Masters final, while O'Sullivan contested his sixth final at the event, having won four and lost one previously IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

[36]: Doesn't support some of the finer details like including back-to-back centuries of 143 (the tournament's highest break) and 120 IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

The following citations were checked manually:

[1b]: Y

[10]: Y

[11b]: Y

[14a]: Y

[11c, 9b, 40]: Only supports the draw, not the results. In fact, this whole section is unsupported. IAWW (talk) 23:06, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
