This page is within the scope of WikiProject Cue sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of pool, carom billiards and other cue sports on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the discussion and see a list of open tasks.Cue sportsWikipedia:WikiProject Cue sportsTemplate:WikiProject Cue sportscue sports articles
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.
Note: To watchlist this to-do list, click on "watch" at top right of this table. Watching the page it is transcluded on won't watch the to-do list.

I added the first attempt at an actual article, and then did some follow up work. A lot has been added since then. But I see a few issues:
The references seem to have issues. I need to double check the text against the references for one thing. I used a few classic works, such as Pool, by Mike Shamos (arguably one of the most famous US pool/billiard historians, and the Billiard Encylopedia, a massive work with a very carefully researched introduction to the history of the game.
The section on billiard enthusiasts seems awkward, and maybe needs to be an article of its own
I moved the lengthy section on shooting techniques, but its probably hard to find now
Intro needs work as I mentioned above (but forgot to sign it.)
I am willing to help, if I can. I am not a great writer or organizer, so I will defer to others
In the section providing summaries of, and {{Main}} links to the main articles of, various games, I believe that English billiards, as Carlos Reyna suggested, needs to have a section in there. Anyone feel like taking that on? It could even be a single paragraph, describing the nature of the game, and a bit about international competition, but waning popularity with the rise of snooker. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib]ツ21:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
Wikipedia is not an advice forum, though there are several of those related to billiards around out there on the web. Or call your local pool table dealer. The simplest method of levelling is to use a level (the tool, I mean) to figure out where the problem is and then put shims of some kind under the leg that is low. Hope that helps. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)›05:09, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
