This article is within the scope of
WikiProject Bowling, a project which is currently considered to be inactive.BowlingWikipedia:WikiProject BowlingTemplate:WikiProject BowlingBowling articles
Note: My focus right now is solely on bowling articles related to Japan. I'm starting to develop the articles, starting with the orgs, and then building the tournament articles. I can also help out with American bowling articles, as I'm a walking encyclopedia when it comes to PBA bowling prior to 1990.

The main things I envisioned in the project were, as aforementioned, improvement and expansion of articles in the category, as well as the creation of new articles with expanded coverage of current and previous professional bowlers and related topics. –

There is an existing
Wikipedia:WikiProject Bowling which could, frankly, use a lot of work. Please feel free to modify the page as you see fit. 18:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Sniper
Is there such a move as a sniper in ten pin bowling? I have heard that you get a sniper if you manage to knock the far left or far right pin down with a ball, whilst the rest stay upright, therefore only scoring 1 point on that half go.

Table for results in majors?
Just an idea I thought I'd pass by you all. Many tennis players have a table each, consisting of results in major tournaments year-by-year. I was thinking, maybe we could possibly come up with a similar table for bowlers' final positions in majors?

Sorry about the delay. I'm not too sure as I don't have much experience with templates... it'd be good if we could get a few more people in on this who might know a thing or two about templates :).

Bowling
Hey figure somebody who watches this page will see this and take note. Just went to wikipedia's Bowling page and was stunned that the History section was like 8 lines. Had just heard something interesting about how NBC's bowling program in the 50's(?) really made bowling a national pastime, wanted to see more about that, and so came to the disappointing Wikipedia Bowling entry. Reads like a brochure from the PBA. Yeah don't complain if you're not going to help... but please copy pasta something decent into the history section the page, or make a separate page (or main page) "History of Bowling." — Preceding

All the entries here are supposed to be in chronological order, so I moved this section to the bottom. Anyway, regarding the
Bowling article, one has to realize that bowling is not any one particular sport. It encompasses a variety of bowling styles, such as 10-pin, 5-pin, duck, candlepin, etc. each with its own Wikipedia article. IMO, the Bowling article cannot favor any one particular variation of bowling, therefore the article is vague by design, based on this idea. You're mentioning about bowling coverage in the 1950s - that pertains specifically to
Ten-pin bowling, so you should expect to see something about that there.

Hey all, I hope everyone is safe and healthy. My name is HickoryOughtShirt?4 and I'm a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. I was wondering if there was any interest in starting
a WikiProject Sports channel on Discord? There's quite a few of us who are interested in sports, and I think it would be a good idea to help the WikiProject recruit more members. You guys can join us through
here.
