    Print sources for billiard games

    Thanks. If you have anything else, that would be very helpful. About anything really. I'm doing up some cue sports articles at the moment, but if you have any specific article you think could do with some work, drop me a line. Also, we are always looking for images. If you have any cue sport...

    Print sources for billiard games

    Oh wow, I wasn't familiar with that. That could be ridiculously useful. There's a surprising amount of stuff on Artistic Billiards. Maybe too much!

    Do it. It can't hurt to have additional channels.

    Print sources for billiard games

    Hi! My name is Lee, and I'm one of those weird people who writes Wikipedia articles. I'm currently working on some old pool/Billiard games, or at least ones that have little visibility online. For an example, I took this article on Slosh to being a "good article", and our article on snooker to...

    Any photos?

    Hi all, On the scrounge once again. I'm in the process of expanding/writing the article on Daryl Peach: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daryl_Peach Does anyone have any images of the guy that they wouldn't mind releasing into the public domain?

    WPBA Tour Wikipedia Page

    I doubt it. There is a very strong issue with companies updating their own information on wikipedia. Considering the only editor to the tour article is myself, and the WPBA article has only two edits to it in the previous year.

    WPBA Tour Wikipedia Page

    Hi! I'm writing a page on the English version of Wikipedia regarding the WPBA Tour, as per an initiative to get more women in sports articles through July and August (known as Women in Red). I don't have much information regarding the WPBA, as the website isn't the best, and the differences...

    Awesome Jam - These are fantastic. Could you upload to wikicommons? I can't - as I don't own the copyright. I'll check these players out. Jennifer Barretta for sure doesn't have an english wiki page, and I will make sure she does very soon. Thanks for your help.

    Women in Red Just a quick update - I haven't had a great deal of luck getting in touch with the players themselves, however, the article for John Schmidt is likely to be placed on the mainpage between the 15-17 if there are no issues. An expanded article on David Alcaide is currently on the...

    Any photos?

    Yeah, that's kind of the issue. Uploading the files under CC-BY-SA license isn't an issue if you have taken the photo yourself. However, if it's someone else's photo, they have to do it, or release it under a similar license themselves. IE - We can't do it for them. There seems to be two ways...

    Any photos?

    Hi! Yeah, he didn't even have an article til August 2018, and thanks to your edits it's possible he will end up on the main page soon similar to Ortmann, as I've nominated him. Yeah, it would be great to have a load of player shots, and images of events and stuff, but right now, most players...

    Any photos?

    No worries. It's a little cheeky, but worth a shot. For reference of what's happening - A "Did You Know" regarding Oliver Ortmann is currently on the main page of wikipedia

    Any photos?

    Hi, My name is Ed, and I have been updating cue sport articles on wikipedia for almost two years. One of the things I have been having issues with is getting hold of images for player bios. Does anyone have any images that they would be happy to release for this purpose? I can easily talk...

    Leende Open

    Anyone watching the event? Hohmann in his first Euro Tour event since 2012 nearly came unstuck in the first match, snatched it in the decider! Enjoying it so far.

    2018 WPA World 9 Ball

    Hi all, I'm sure I've brought this up before, but I edit cue sport articles on Wikipedia. I've been trying to update the article for this event, and I've added some information on the tournament brackets - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_WPA_World_Nine-ball_Championship I've only seen a...

    Calling out the WPA

    Thank you for this. I'd have no chance without this. I'll try and update the wiki article regarding the draw. Reliable sources are very hard to come by.

    Calling out the WPA

    I think this is kind of irrelevent. The sheer lack of information about their tournaments have become very difficult. For instance - The World 9-ball championships are supposed to be underway at the moment. You look on their website, and there is zero information...

    I sent a message off to WPA, anyone got a Matchroom sports email?

    9-Ball World Championship

    The event is supposed to start today. Anyone got any details about it? Is there a draw happening anywhere?
