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.
This needs to be a real article, an overview of the entire franchise, not a WP:DAB page. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 23:57, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
VP 4 was released August 15, 2012. Probably needs an article. At very least the "Sequel" section in this article needs an update. I may get around to it, but I'm trying to minimize the time I spend here on pop-culture topics. — SMcCandlish☏¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 08:24, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Additional notes:
VP4 is (or was? not checked yet) available as a free online version with social networking features.
InsidePoolMag.com (which seems to be distinct from the paper version) has copies of two Virtual Pool 4 press releases, which can be used as primary sources for some really basic stuff like release date.
Would like to do a VP4 article, but I guess it can start as a section until notability is certain. That should likely live at the franchise article, not as it presently does at Virtual Pool 3#Sequel — SMcCandlish☏¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 08:46, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Usually both. Generally we will summarize a sequel in the video game article and have the predominant content in the series article, where the series article exists. (Where it doesn't the content just lives in the "prequel" article until spun out.) --Izno (talk) 13:07, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm looking to get this article up to WP:GA Status soon. I was wondering if anyone had any pressing issues with the article that would need addressing before being nominated? Lee Vilenski(talk • contribs) 10:43, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
