Hi, I'll take this one. Feel free to argue or correct any of my points!

• No dup links
• No images to check - is anything, even a vaguer non-Doug Mountjoy specific, image possible?
• No edit war
• Earwig reports copyvio issue with reference #3, needs wording changed more in early life section

• "Mountjoy qualified for the World Championship" - link which World Championship
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:26, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• The 49 century breaks aren't mentioned or cited in text, similarly career winnings
  • Removed Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:26, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "he had an attack of Bell's palsy which partially paralysed his face." - clarify when this happened exactly?
  • I don't have a date, just that it happened between 80 and 81. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "With the problem cleared" - what does this mean?
  • Reworded. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• "fluking" needs a link
  • Added a link. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "Mountjoy won only one more frame as Davis eased to an 18–12 victory." - I was a little uncertain about some of the wording up to this point, but this especially seems a little much - the article referencing this in fact describes him "clinch"ing the victory
  • I have reworked, hopefully is better. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "to go with his 1980 title." - why is this mentioned here and not chronologically earlier on?
  • Moved Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "losing to Cliff Thorburn." - the final of the Masters seems notable enough to deserve the score?
  • Added score and ref. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:33, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "having previously won it in 1978." - again with the chronology?
  • Moved up Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:37, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "He won another Welsh title in 1987" - link available?
  • Added Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:37, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "but otherwise he struggled" > "but otherwise struggled"
  • Done Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:37, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "1–9 defeat to Steve Longworth in the 1986 UK Championship." - which round?
  • Added Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:37, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• "By 1988 he was out of the top 16 in the world rankings." - this is the first time his world ranking is even mentioned. Would expect it to have at least been mentioned earlier on when he did breach the top 16
  • So, the rankings never used to be that big a deal, as there was only a handful of players in the 1970s. It wasn't until the late 80s, where you would need a high ranking to not have to qualify where it became a big deal. He was ranked world number 14 after his first pro season for instance.

• "but did appear in the 2002 World Snooker Championship." - to what result?
  • Clarified he lost in qualifying. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:37, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• The lede mentions him coaching the UAE team but this isn't mentioned anywhere else
  • Now added to body. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:41, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Should probably link stroke
• Link World Snooker and WPBSA?
• Doesn't seem like the more enthusiastic epitaph in that quote, but if that's what they said...!
  • Linked all. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:39, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's all I have for now. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 23:09, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

    With one minor correction I've made, I'm happy to pass this as satisfying the GA criteria. Thanks, Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 23:54, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
