• ... that at the 2019 China Championship, Judd Trump's 15-match and six-month winning streak was broken when he was defeated by Joe Perry? Source: http://www.worldsnooker.com/gentleman-trumps-the-ace/

• Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Bengal famine of 1943
• Comment: Currently writing article, may have some different hooks; nomining now as it meets the expansion criteria.

5x expanded by Lee Vilenski (talk). Self-nominated at 22:13, 3 October 2019 (UTC).

• Nice expansion! Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is interesting and supported by inline reference. No copyvio detected. Awaiting QPQ. -Zanhe (talk) 21:32, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

• QPQ added Zanhe. Thanks for your review. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 18:17, 5 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the QPQ. I do feel that if Bengal famine of 1943 survives GA review, it should be deemed eligible for DYK. I trust that you will complete the review if that happens. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 00:06, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

Prize fund

• "The event featured a total prize fund of £751,000 for the event," - the last three words of this section of text are redundant
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "This was slightly higher than the previous years prize fund " - have it written as the 2018 rather than "the previous years"
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:24, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Early rounds (first–fourth round)

• "Defending champion Mark Selby won his opening first round match, defeating Chen Feilong. Feilong led 2–1," - Try not to have the last word of a sentence start the next one like this
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "but Selby won three of the next four to win the match 3–5." - before
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "Maflin then defeated Jordan Brown to play four-time world champion John Higgins. Higgins led their match 3–0," - same issue as the first point raised in this sub-section
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• Also the aboove sentence is not supported with Reference 10 that is attacted to its end
• "Having amassed a 15-match winning streak," - to avoid close paraphrasing how about changing this text to say Having won 15 matches in a row, - added a cite.
• "The 2005 World Champion Shaun Murphy also reached the quarter-finals." - I don't believe World Champion should be captalised
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "Saengkham lost the following round" - lost in the third
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• Ding Junhui dropping out of the top-16 is not mentioned in the source attached and will need to be replaced
  • Removed the words - couldn't find a decent cite. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "Allen, however lost in the second round" - Allen subsequently
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "and won the prior two tournaments that he played in (the World Snooker Championship and the International Championship." - remove the opening bracket with a comma
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Later rounds (quarter-final–final)

• "Selby made the match highest break of 98 in the deciding frame to win the match 5–4." - match's highest break of 98 in the deciding frame to claim a 5–4 victory.

• "In winning, Vafaei reached only his third ranking semi-final." - In winning the match,
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:42, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "In the final quarter-final" - how about last quarter-final or last quarter-final match?
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 13:42, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• "The final was contested between Shaun Murphy (who had defeated Yuan Sijun, Ryan Day, Matthew Selt, Kurt Maflin and Mark Selby to reach the final), and Mark Williams (who defeated Kishan Hirani, Luo Honghao, Luca Brecel, David Gilbert, and Hossein Vafaei). " - this portion of text in unsupported by the SnookerHQ source and will need another source to cite the information
  • Added two cites for this Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}
• "This was Williams' 35th ranking event final, whilst Murphy's 20th." - reworded the text in bold to event final and Murphy's 20th.

Main stage centuries

• The World Snooker source says there were 58 century breaks rather than 55 as stated in the article. The three missing century breaks should be included and the figure updated to the correct amount
  • Changed. I don't really ever deal with the century counts, other than remove the flags, good spot. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 14:18, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Qualifying stage centuries

• The World Snooker source does not say that Mark Selby complied a break of 137 and a 108 or Judd Trump's 109. An additional source is required or if the information does not exist it will have to be deleted

References

• References 8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 21 and 23 should mention the author who wrote the articles
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:01, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
• References 10, 14, 18, 19, 22 are missing the dates the sources were published
  •  Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 22:01, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

There are some issues in the article, some minor and some major. The minor issues concern the way the sentences are written and some instances of editorialising and the lack of an author and publication date that should be clearly stated in several references. One of the main issues concerns multiple statements contained in the article which are not backed up by the sources they are attached to. Will put the review on hold.
