This article is about the annual FAC for the main snooker tournament of the year. A bit later than usual as the GAN took a while to get looked at. Let me know your thoughts. Lee Vilenski 11:01, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
- Image review
- Licensing and descriptions on the player photographs is complete and appropriately done.
- Non-free image has the appropriate disclosure and copyright information.
- Flags are appropriately used and labeled per MOS:FLAG
- Captions are generally fine, but I think the Davis one is too long and Brecel's is just shy of being too much.
- Consider adding alternative text to images where possible. SounderBruce 05:48, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, @SounderBruce. I reduced the length of the Davis and Brecel captions per your feedback. HurricaneHiggins (talk) 14:17, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

- World Snooker, which isn't independent, is used for a significant proportion of the references. I suppose that this is fine where simple facts are being supported, or quotes from players used.
- Most of the wst.tv sources have "World Snooker" as publisher, but #24 has "World Snooker Tour", #30 has "WST"
- Publisher for refs #5 and #184 should be World Snooker (and not WPBSA). (The WPBSA is a 26% stakeholder in WST)
- As Metro is "generally unreliable" at WP:RSP, alternative sources should be found for the two intances where it's used.
- The sources cited for Main draw don't verify the dates of matches, or the details of the final (referee, frame scores, breaks)
- "Preview: The five women" - author is David Hendon, not "Ivan"
- 'described as "one of the most exciting"' - I think this should be attributed to Calladine if the direct quote is used.
