Irish Professional Championship

From sources:

"I'd ruled the Irish roost since 1947 ... I held it for something like 24 years because there were no challengers until Belfast-born [Alex Higgins] came along [and we played in early 1972]." - Jackie Rea, quoted in Eye of the Hurricane: The Alex Higgins Story by John Hennessey
After such a lengthy interval, it is good to see the [Irish Professional Championship] being once again contested." ("Irish Championship in New Year", World Snooker magazine, December 1971.)

@BennyOnTheLoose: The sources you quote seem fairly consistent, and the IP user (178.167.170.51) making these edits is,I think, banned user DooksFoley147, who should be reverted in any case. Alan (talk) 06:46, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.
