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?

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.

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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.

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...

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.

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?

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

Surely Steve Davis would have been perfect for this...

Oh, I didn't mean that! I realise the coverage is bad; I was simply fishing for sources :P.

Hi Seth, Just because you brought it up, currently, I'm the only person updating Wikipedia articles for Pool players and events. Sadly, the information isn't even close to correct; as finding sources for claims in pool seems to be really quite difficult. Anything pre-2000 is very difficult to...

Can anyone suggest a beginner's cue? I live in the UK, (So would obviously have to be sold over here), and I'm looking to play Snooker. I've been using club cues for a while, but I'd like to get something reasonably cheaply that is of decent quality, but might be suitible for more of a beginner...

From the UK - The BBC promote Snooker as "other sports", despite being one of it's more popular shows, and doesn't list pool/billiards at all. Plenty of room for Equestrian and Canoeing, though.... EDIT - In their defense, they do cover some pool, but it's super hidden.
