Unsourced and Anecdotal Information Throughout Article

Aside from the top few sentences, this entire article is unsourced. It also contains a lot of anecdotal, even editorial information (like, "Side wagers between individual players are quite common and often encouraged") with no reference to back it up. I'd already removed one sentence that read, "FUGK is not for the faint of heart," before realizing this was a more systemic problem throughout the article.

It's obvious that whomever originally wrote this article was working entirely off of their own personal knowledge of the game. In other words, almost the entire article appears to be original research. While the factual information (setting aside all the unverifiable anecdotal claims) appears to be accurate, it still nonetheless falls short of Wikipedia's basic standards.

This article probably needs a complete re-write.174.31.194.71 (talk) 23:39, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Advertisement?

Why is the "Computer Programs" section below the references, and why does it only list one program? It should either be removed, or moved up within the article and appended with more entries (a simple Google search yields numerous programs for this game).174.31.194.71 (talk) 23:51, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Several games described as if they are one

This article is a mess. It confuses several games that share the same name and should be split into separate ones.
