Lead[edit]

  • "but the first in 17 years since the 2004 British Open." - and
  • "this breaks with the tradition of most ranking tournaments" - this broke with the tradition
  • The term seeded should be wikilinked to the relevant articles
  • "Higgins made his 12th maximum break in professional competition in the first frame of his first-round win over Alexander Ursenbacher, while Ali Carter made his third maximum break in professional competition in the second frame of his fourth-round match against Elliot Slessor." - repetition of the term highlighted in bold

Images[edit]

  • "Reanne Evans met former partner Mark Allen in the first round, but lost 2-3" - en dash please per MOS:DASH

Format[edit]

  • "The 2021 tournament is being held from 16 to 22 August 2021" - past tense please
  • "John Higgins is the defending champion," - same issue as above
  • "The event is broadcast by; ITV Sport" - character highlighted in bold is misplaced
  • ITV Sport can be wikilinked

Prize fund[edit]

  • "The tournament had a total prize fund of £470,000, with the winner receiving £100,000. This showed a £270,000 total prize money increase from the last tournament in 2004" - needs a reliable source from the ones already in the article to verify this information

Tournament summary[edit]

  • Ricky Walden and the term pot are wikilinked twice in this section and Stephen Maguire has a second wikilink that is unneeded in this section
  • "but missed match ball allowing Allen to win the match.[23][16]" - repetition of "match"
  • References in the above sentence should ideally be in numerical order
  • "Iranian player Hossein Vafaei defeated Allen 3–2, despite having never defeated him on the prior four meetings." - repetition of "defeated"
  • "who had averaged over 30 seconds per shot." - more than
  • "Gilbert played Wilson, and led both 2–0 and 3–2, but lost the match after missing a pot using a long rest. Slessor met Zhou Yuelong and won 4–3 to reach his second ranking event semi-final." - The source at the end of this portion of text makes no mention of these events. Another reliable source(s) is required with mentions all this information
  • "before Slessor made a 125 break to force a deciding frame.[42][41]" - refs in numerical order please
  • "Aged 46, this was the third oldest person to win a ranking event," - can be either he or Williams
  • "only behind Ray Reardon (50) and Doug Mountjoy (46)." - in what years?
  • "Wilson, however was "bitterly disappointed", and that he had been "bitterly disappointed" not to win." - same quotes are being used for different purposes

Tournament draw[edit]

  • The first column in each of the sections should have the flagathlete templates used as you have done on several other articles

Century breaks[edit]

  • The term century breaks does not need to be linked here as an extra link
  • "Both Higgins and Carter made maximum breaks of 147 during the event. Higgins made one in the first frame of his first-round win over Ursenbacher, whilst Carter made his during the second frame of his fourth-round loss to Slessor.[13]" - The Carter maximum also needs to be verified by a reliable source in this section

References[edit]

  • All the works in the Eurosport references should be named as either Eurosport or Eurosport UK not a mix of both
    • These are seperate websites though, so I'm not sure it's really suitable. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 12:51, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Same with the World Snooker sources named as either WST.tv or World Snooker
  • References 3 and 5 are missing the author(s)
  • The url link for Reference 13 "Higgins makes 12th maximum" is broken
  • References 14 to 15, 30 are missing the authors; 15 is missing the publication date
  • References 18 to 21, 23, 27 and 44 do not have the publication dates added to their respective templates
  • References 16, 19, 21, 22, 24, 43 are missing their respective authors
  • Reference 26 is missing the author and publisher
  • References 2, 31, 34, 35, 38 and 42 all need to be fully formatted
  • References 32, 40, 41 are missing their respective access dates
  • References 33, 36 are lacking the authors and publication dates
  • The archive links for References 45 and 46 need to be updated
