Welcome to '''''WikiProject Snooker'''''.  Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of [[snooker]] and the organisation of information and articles on this topic.  This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic.  If you would like to help, please [[#Participants|join]] the project, inquire on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Snooker|talk page]] and see the [[#To-do list|to-do list]] below.

== Goals and scope ==
This [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] aims primarily to:
*Improve coverage of [[snooker]] on Wikipedia.
*Improve the quality of articles.

==Guidelines==
* Consider the [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability guidelines]], before creating an article.
* Adhere to the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Cue sports|cue sports style guide]] [draft], especially with regard to numbers.
* Name articles according to the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Cue sports#Naming and disambiguation conventions|naming and disambiguation conventions]].

==To-do list==
Feel free to add your own suggestions below. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Snooker/Popular_pages|list of popular snooker pages]] might provide some ideas for articles to work on.

*Improve more snooker-related articles to be good enough for nominatation at [[WP:Good article nominations]] and [[WP:Featured article candidates]]. (See [[#Featured articles|the lists above]] for examples of current Good and Featured snooker articles). [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker/projects]] has lists for world championships, world champions, world number ones etc.

{{See also|Wikipedia:WikiProject Cue sports/to do}}

===Missing articles (non-bio)===
*Season articles from [[1962–63 snooker season]] backwards, where appropriate.
* [[Pan-American Snooker Championship]]; joint IBSF and World Snooker event launched in 2013 (mostly Latin American; the USSF only began participating in 2015 [http://www.snookerusa.com/news/201412200507-new-pan-american-snooker-championship-announced]). Needs redirs from [[Pan American Snooker Championship]], [[Pan-American Snooker Championships]], [[Pan American Snooker Championships]] (sources vary on spelling).
*[[Under-21 Series]] (plus redirs from alternative spellings and from [[Pontin's Under-21 Series]], etc.)
*[[Pro-Am Series]] (plus redir from [[Pontin's Pro-Am Series]]).
*[[Pontin's Snooker Centre]] (plus redirects(s) from any other name(s) for it; one of the only venues in the world purpose-built for cue sports tournaments of any kind, it was at the Prestatyn Pontin's, and hosted all of these Pontin's event series)

===Player biographies===
*Check all player biographies to verify content. Look at tournament wins to see if all tournaments won by the player are listed. Make sure information is current for this year/season (often it is not).

====Major improvements needed====
*[[Tom Dennis (snooker player)]] (one of the most incomplete snooker bio stubs)
*[[Terry Murphy (snooker player)]] (is a ''real'' stub at the moment)
*[[Neal Foulds]]
*[[Rod Lawler]]
*[[Ian Burns (snooker player)| Ian Burns]]

===Bios missing infoboxes===

===Other things to do===

====Article improvement====
*Improve the [[International Billiards and Snooker Federation]] article.
*Improve [[Rules of snooker]] - cites different versions of the rules without any explanation why; lots of unreferenced material; not much about when rules were codified and significant changes; and the Maximum break section seems to veer a bit off-topic.
*Make much more use of [[Snooker world rankings]] - every (first in main article text) mention of rankings or ranking events in snooker articles needs to be linked here.  Current rankings should also be included in the article.
*Identify and add stub tags to stub articles using the templates below.
*Expand the stubs in {{cl|Snooker stubs}} and {{cl|Snooker biography stubs}}.
*Create illustrative and detailed article section at [[Cue stick]] on snooker cues, which differ (typically) in a number of ways from cues used in pool and carom billiards (length, flat area on the butt, where the joint is, metal ferrule, and most importantly the smaller tip).
*Add timelines, general and specific, as appropriate (e.g. a timeline of snooker history, vs. a timeline of Ronnie O'Sullivan's career), and textual or graphical, as appropriate. See [[WP:Timeline]] for details, guidelines and examples.
*[[Century break]] needs updating. Any updates should observe the consensus at [[WT:SNOOKER#RfC: Does the use of self-published sources in snooker articles violate BLPSPS and SPS?]] and avoid using [[WP:SPS|self-published sources]] since they have many inconsistencies. Suitable [[WP:SOURCES]] include dedicated magazines/journals with editorial oversight such as Snooker Scene, mainstream news and sport outlets (such as BBC News or Eurosport) and the professional governing body, the [[World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association]], and its commercial arm, World Snooker.
*Sort out [[World Series of Snooker]] - list of tournaments included there doesn't match up with the article text.

=====Bot-generated list of articles needing cleanup [[Image:Edit-clear.svg|20px]]=====
{{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription}}
* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker/Cleanup listing|Cleanup listing results]]'''

====Project tasks====
*Develop [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|assessment]] criteria FAQ for snooker articles and create a new talk page template to accompany the ratings, like the [[Template:WikiProject Tennis]] and [[Template:Football]] templates.
*Watch over [[Maximum break]] and [[List of snooker players]].
*Update snooker player infoboxes after every season (and relevant events), and tournament pages after event has finished.

This template is ''never [[WP:SUBST|subst'd]]''.
*{{tl|World Snooker}} for rapid entry of citations of official WorldSnooker.com WPBSA player bios. This template is ''never [[WP:SUBST|subst'd]].''
:*{{tl|WSfast}} an even more rapid-entry version for cases where the <code>accessdate</code> is today. This template should ''always [[WP:SUBST|subst'd]]''.

===Getting started===
As a member of ''WikiProject Snooker'', it is requested that you watchlist at ''least'' the following pages:
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker]] – if the project members do not pay attention to changes at the project page, especially its talk page, effective collaboration will be nearly impossible and the project would eventually fail.
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Snooker/Wanted snooker bios]] – this is an important part of the project's to-do list.
* [[Snooker]] – our main article, frequently subject to vandalism and nonsense edits that (historically) have sometimes taken hours or even an entire day to be fixed
* [[2022–23 snooker season]] – another important article
* [[Snooker world rankings 2022/2023]] – another important article
* One or more player articles of your choice that you'd like to "adopt" as a guardian against vandalism, PoV-pushing, etc.

Keeping in touch with the rest of the team via the project pages, and keeping an occasional eye on core articles will go a long way to strengthening the project and protecting the articles. Thank you for your collaboration!

Please also either put one of the [[#Project|project's userboxes]] or "<code><nowiki>[[Category:WikiProject Snooker participants]]</nowiki></code> on your user page or one of its subpages. 

PS: You can save typing time and get here via a shortcut, [[WP:SNOOKER]], and to the talk page here via another one, [[WT:SNOOKER]].
