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]).
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?
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.

Why is this article so biased and one sided? Isn't that a violation of wikilaw?210.185.167.87 (talk) 02:03, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In what way? We base the content on reliable sources, and if we were to censor that or fail to report it faithfully, that would be a violation of NPOV. Editors must remain neutral, but neither sources nor content need be neutral. -- BullRangifer (talk) PingMe 07:44, 23 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
* Very slightly agree, but for the most part the "tone" and word choices are generally neutral, sticking to facts. Vid2vid (talk) 06:34, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to say, but quoting USA court sentence as neutral and not biased is biased in itself.
When wikipedists quote sentences from North Korean courts's sentences or Russian, or from a lot of different countries suddenly they remember that such courts decissions can be biased.
It is very biased to assume, that guy who cirticise his own state institutions cannot have court case biased.
I am from Western country, but not USA and we no longer here believe in our state and in Western non biased objectivity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.221.231.106 (talk) 20:30, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This article is a superb piece of work, Wikipedia at its best.
My congratulations to the people responsible for the very hard, intelligent, far-reaching, and just plain elbow-grease-competent, work that went into it!
Re. footnote #69, why is consumeraffairs.com being cited? Talk about "reads like an ad." We're talking about a website literally created to move infomercial merchandise. N8chz (talk) 00:33, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
No mentions of Trudeau as 'Human Calculator' or able to memorize astounding number of names and audience-provided list of random items?
Hi all, does anyone know how to research Trudeau's beginnings? ..Well before the FTC stuff, vitamins, books, and health stuff. I believe he was on talk shows or infomercials in which he did blazing speed calculations in his head, memorized a long list of unrelated items given randomly from audiences, and cited it forwards and backwards, and also memorized 25-30 or so audience members' names. Does any of this ring a bell? (Haha ps, how did he do it, the Human Calculator thang plus the peoples' names parlor trick??) Thanks! Vid2vid (talk) 06:44, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The article does mentions this under Kevin Trudeau#Audio tapes: "Mega Memory". According to the FTC, these claims were false, so the answer to "how did he do it" is: "he didn't, he just lied". Worldcat says the cassette Mega Memory came out in c1992, which would've been the same time his was serving his first stint in federal prison. This was early in his "career" such as it is, but not before the FTC stuff. Grayfell (talk) 07:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I'm mistaken, it appears it came out earlier, in 1989. Further info might be found by searching for "Mega Memory" and "Advanced Mega Memory", but be cautious of WP:FRINGE and WP:RS. Grayfell (talk) 07:33, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I really appreciate it @Grayfell and good sleuthing work! Vid2vid (talk) 08:03, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
