Also a Cue sports world records article (many can be pulled from bio articles like Geet Sethi, Guinness Book will provide others, and so will BCA and other orgs., websites and books like Shamos 1999). Meta: Outline of cue sports ( OoK; cf. [1], etc.) – presently redirects to Cue sports, but this is not an OoK page. Internal pages: Something like: [2] [3]). Such pages are not fluff, but can be good places to find recruits for the project, possibly including subject-matter experts, especially if cross-referenced to the project. Also, Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cue sports (cf. [4] [5] [6]).

See link for various guidelines and examples. We need an overall one for cue sports generally, and more specific ones as we drill down into more specific topics (timeline of nine-ball, timeline of Willie Mosconi's career, etc.). Form sections: Exhibition game needs section on cue sports; could later form a new article with "Main article..." xref to it. What other general articles need cue sports sections?

 – It was vandalism; fixed.

Is there any truth in all the awards that Alcano has received? Or is this a joke in poor taste? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by G0202394 ( talk • contribs) 21:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC). reply

It was the latter. Alcano, not being British, Canadian or New Zealander, in any sense, is not eligible for the Order of the British Empire, the Order of Canada, etc. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ contrib ツ 21:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC) reply

 – Moot.

The Vietnamese version of this article seems to say that he was the San Miguel Beer/WPA Asian Nine-ball Tour Champion. Can anyone confirm with a source? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SMcCandlish ( talk • contribs) 19:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC). reply

Nevermind, I found it. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ contrib ツ 20:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC) reply

In that source, it said that Efren Reyes won 20 million yen in a nine-ball tounament. As a matter of fact, the words Tokyo 9-Ball Champion are visible in the topic. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 61.9.126.41 ( talk) 09:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC). reply

Um, why are you telling us that? Update the article! Heh. Encyclopedia users don't read talk pages (and mostly don't read the sources either, unless they are doing research.) — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ contrib ツ 10:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC) reply

I had to add the breaking news of the RAPE case filed yesterday. -- Florentino floro 07:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Bail was posted on July 23, 2007.

I'd like to see more than one source for this. One tabloid is not a very reliable source for allegations of this magnitude, per WP:BLP. — SMcCandlish [ talk] [ cont] ‹(-¿-)› 15:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC) reply
