WikiProject Cue sports to-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Lots of high-priority articles need to be created:

List of wanted articles...

Games: A bunch of high-priority game redlinks, e.g. American four-ball billiards (redirs to Four-ball billiards but not specifically covered there)
"Legends": Edwin Kelly, Charlie Peterson (pool player) (all BCA Hall of Famers); George Franklin Slosson, Maurice Daly (billiards player), Frank Ives, George Butler Sutton [not George H. Sutton, the one with no hands]
Male pool bios: Hsia Hui-kai
Female pool bios:
Male three-cushion bios: Dion Nelin & Jozef Bel Philipoom
Female carom bios: Aygen Berk Saygıner
Aristic pool bios: Nick Nikolaidis, Mark Dimick,Sebastian Giumelli, Eric Yow
Unranked in current pool but notable: Mike Eufemia, Shannon Daulton, Jimmy Reid (pool player) [speed pool champ], var. Mosconi Cup players
Non-player figures: Mitch Laurance, George Fels
Five-pins bios: Gustavo Zito
Organizations: Joss Tour
Events: WPA World Nine-ball Championships (pre-1997), BCA Open Nine-ball Championship, World 14.1 Continuous Championship, International Challenge of Champions (pool)
Media and misc.: Iwan Simonis (leading billiard cloth maker), Joss Cues (major cue mfr.), The Baron and the Kid [Johnny Cash film], Ultimate Pool Party [TV show]
And: everyone/thing listed at WP:CUEGAMES, WP:CUEEVENTS, WP:CUEORGS, WP:CUEBIOS, & WP:CUEMISC. 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]).

Cleanup : Thomas Engert, Marlon Manalo
Copyedit : Jonni Fulcher
Expand : Cue sports techniques#Carom shots (section needs to exist), Straight pool, Alfredo de Oro,Jeanette Lee (pool player)
NPOV : Andy Segal (major WP:COI and WP:V issues, too), Jose Parica (it's bad!); Efren Reyes, Thomas Engert, Dennis Orcollo, Dick Jaspers
Photo : Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports people
Split : List of World Eight-ball Champions - blackball stuff needs own article {draft split from real eight-ball one (draft).
Stubs : loads of players in Category:Cue sports stubs
Update : Arcade game (link to bagatelle, bar billiards, etc.)
Verify : Cue stick (mostly WP:OR!), Frank Taberski (has major fact conflict between BCA & NYT sourcing), Russian pyramid, add sources to Unreferenced BLPs
Wikify : Chicago (pool), Jonni Fulcher
Other :
- Create timelines, both textual and graphical. 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?
- CopyVio rewrite:
- Clarify: What is the "continuous pool" listed above "14.1 continuous" at Alfredo DeOro?
- Delete or defend:
- Move/Rename (and Redirect):
- Redirect:
- Unorphan:
- Ensure: that rules discussions in game articles & the Billiard techniques article do not violate WP:NOT#IINFO.
- Help fix: WP:CUEBIOS#Pool players (women) is nearly empty!
- Help develop: the lists of WP:CUEORGS and WP:CUEEVENTS
- Images: improve articles with images from commons; create pics and add them to commons as GFDL/CC-by/PD.
- Add: {{Sport overview}} to main articles of cue games that are real sports; medal table tags where they apply (see Ding Junhui for example).
- Insert: Cue sports events (tournament results, etc.) into the "year in sports" categories (e.g. 1965 in sports), using {{subst:Cue sports heading}} if that year doesn't have one yet.
- Change:
- Replace:
- Some day: Seek Featured Topic status.
- Plunder: the French article; it does have some interesting tidbits, structure and images. Check out de.wikipedia, etc., as well.
- Inter-wiki: Improve simple:Billiards and foreign-language key articles.

Manufacture

Surprised to see there doesn't seem to be any detail of it's manufacture. The article would be much more useful if there were. Someone removed manufacture links. I had one to my site lashing guitars where I manufacture celuuloid guitar pickguards. Someone came and deleted it —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.201.174 (talk)

@24.57.201.174, your site is purely commercial. Wikipedia is not a collection of links. Please read the guidelines for external links. Feel free to wright about manufacturing of celluloid. It has been startet in the Formulation section, but keep commercial interests out. --Langbein Rise (talk) 08:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Totally wrong. I manufacture Celluloid items. You are terribly uninformed and ignorant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.57.201.174 (talk) 04:57, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) The article could use more information about manufacture, but as Wikipedia policies & guidelines against spammy linking and other forms of promotion make clear (see WP:EL, WP:SPAM, WP:COI, WP:NOT, etc.), links like that are not the way to do this. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 09:08, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Parkes

I have finished a brief run down on Parkes' creation and failure, and I have added the important part about Spill persuing Hyatt's patenting of their similar product, the judge ruled Parkes as the rtue inventor but he wasn't around to worry about sadly, then again maybe this helped in the U.S. advances that took place after this final court case. See here for my sources. Thanks Nick Boulevard 21:13, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Other categories

This should also be somewhere under one of the polymers categories, possibly this one http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Category:Organic_polymers

Xylonite

For many years celluloid was also known as Xylonite through its parallel development on both sides of the Atlantic. I have noted this and linked Xylonite to Celluloid. Ephebi 17:33, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Merton

I have taken the liberty of removing the incorrectly-formatted, unsourced addition from one "Henry Merton". If this info can be backed up, it may warrent its own section, but please read Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style first, especially Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles,_headings_and_sections.Phsyron (talk) 20:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re Hyatt

I've just finished adding some details on Parkes at Alexander Parkes (reference added) and the D'Andrea article (added another source in the discussion section). (Parkes got an English patent #2359 in 1855 for 'parkesine'.) I'd agree that at least some of the stuff in the D'Andrea article belongs here.
The 'history' section under the term Plastics is an aching opportunity for improvement. (out of my bailiwick.) ... Parkes is the only subject there! Twang (talk) 08:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changes january 2016

I made some changes but did not add referencies since they are not available in english. I am quite familiar with the subject even though and there is no reason to question my adds.

Production Section Unclear

Article reads "cellulose nitrate has 2.8 molecule of nitrogen per molecule of cellulose", this isn't really meaningful because cellulose is a polymer with arbitrarily large molecules. Even on the monomer level this doesn't really make sense. Better to talk about either ratio of nitogen to carbon, or amount of unreacted hydroxyls remaining e.g. per monomer. 49.178.150.70 (talk) 06:50, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
