WikiProject Cue sports to-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Article requests : Lots of high-priority articles need to be created:

List of wanted articles...

"Legends": Edwin Kelly, Charlie Peterson (pool player) (all BCA Hall of Famers); George Franklin Slosson, Maurice Daly (billiards player), Frank Ives, George Butler Sutton [not George H. Sutton, the one with no hands]
Male pool bios: Hsia Hui-kai
Female pool bios:
Male three-cushion bios: Dion Nelin & Jozef Bel Philipoom
Female carom bios: Aygen Berk Saygıner

And: everyone/thing listed at WP:CUEGAMES, WP:CUEEVENTS, WP:CUEORGS, WP:CUEBIOS, & WP:CUEMISC. Also a Cue sports world records article (many can be pulled from bio articles like Geet Sethi, Guinness Book will provide others, and so will BCA and other orgs., websites and books like Shamos 1999).
Meta: Outline of cue sports (OoK; cf. [1], etc.) – presently redirects to Cue sports, but this is not an OoK page.
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]).

Cleanup : Thomas Engert, Marlon Manalo
Copyedit : Jonni Fulcher
Expand : Cue sports techniques#Carom shots (section needs to exist), Straight pool, Alfredo de Oro,Jeanette Lee (pool player)
NPOV : Andy Segal (major WP:COI and WP:V issues, too), Jose Parica (it's bad!); Efren Reyes, Thomas Engert, Dennis Orcollo, Dick Jaspers
Photo : Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of cue sports people
Split : List of World Eight-ball Champions - blackball stuff needs own article {draft split from real eight-ball one (draft).
Stubs : loads of players in Category:Cue sports stubs
Update : Arcade game (link to bagatelle, bar billiards, etc.)
Verify : Cue stick (mostly WP:OR!), Frank Taberski (has major fact conflict between BCA & NYT sourcing), Russian pyramid, add sources to Unreferenced BLPs
Wikify : Chicago (pool), Jonni Fulcher
Other :
- 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?
- CopyVio rewrite:
- Clarify: What is the "continuous pool" listed above "14.1 continuous" at Alfredo DeOro?
- Delete or defend:
- Move/Rename (and Redirect):
- Redirect:
- Unorphan:
- Ensure: that rules discussions in game articles & the Billiard techniques article do not violate WP:NOT#IINFO.
- Help fix: WP:CUEBIOS#Pool players (women) is nearly empty!
- Help develop: the lists of WP:CUEORGS and WP:CUEEVENTS
- 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.
- Change:
- Replace:
- Some day: Seek Featured Topic status.
- Plunder: the French article; it does have some interesting tidbits, structure and images. Check out de.wikipedia, etc., as well.
- Inter-wiki: Improve simple:Billiards and foreign-language key articles.

Virtual Pool 3 featuring Jeanette Lee[edit]

Ms. Lee is featured in the last Virtual Pool game as a guide of some sort. Should this be added to her biography? Sth128 01:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒〈°⌊°〉 Contribs. 03:07, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that she was diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 13 is a tad more germane to her bio in my own opinion. Bustter (talk) 12:27, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And it's already in there. The fact that you're more interested in one fact doesn't mean that all other facts should be ignored. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒〈°⌊°〉 Contribs. 03:07, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

John Kang[edit]

In a television interview: NYC TV Profiles with host Mickey Burns, she said her family recently adopted John Kang, a 15 year old young man. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.7.242.222 (talk) 02:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is also mentioned in the source immediately below. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒〈°⌊°〉 Contribs. 03:07, 25 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Interview[edit]

I removed the following from the article, per WP:EL:

To see footage of Lee, follow this link to ''On Inside POOL Xtreme Pressbox''<ref>{{citation|Jeanette Lee|url=http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1043241/billiards_jeanette_lee_on_inside_pool_xtreme_pressbox/}}</ref>

This interview can actually be used to source a large number of facts, however, and should be. The proper way to cite it from the original site (and there's a even a template for citing the InsidePool site):

<ref name="IP interview 2008">{{IPSite |title=Billiards: Jeanette Lee on Inside POOL Xtreme Pressbox |date=August 24 2008 |url= http://www.insidepoolmag.com/200808/billiard-podcasts-pool-podcasts-and-videos/billiards-jeanette-lee-on-inside-pool-xtreme-pressbox.html |last1=Lee |first1=Jeanette (interviewee) |last2=Czetli |first2=Aaron (interviewer) |last3=Abbink |first3=Rachael (commentator) |at="Billiard Videos" section |accessdate=2024-04-25 }}</ref>

Reference to her nickname[edit]

The section of the article referring to how she got her "Black Widow" nickname has a reference link called "Reference to her nickname," but when you click that link it takes you to a tv.com page for the TV show "American Chopper." Whether or not the origin of her nickname was explained on the Chopper show can't be ascertained from this.

Here are a couple of alternative links where she explains how she got the nickname:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTdFMYVP-UI This is a YouTube video of Lee on the Donny & Marie talk Show in 1998. The following exchange takes place:

Donny: "Where did you get that nickname?"

Jeanette: "Well, some guys at the poolroom named me that because I was always dressing in black and they say I'm deadly at the table, so it stuck -- I couldn't get rid of it. My mom hated it."

http://www.voice-tribune.com/columns/conversations-with-lori-kommor/shooting-for-derby/ This is an April 26, 2012 interview with Lee in The Voice-Tribune. The interview is titled "Shooting For Derby" and was conducted by Lori Kommor:

Lori: "How did you acquire the name the Black Widow?"

Jeanette: "A room owner named Gabe Vigorito called me that because he said I lured my opponents to the table and then ate them alive. It was funny at the time but it stuck like glue! I guess the name fits!"

I'll let others decide if they'd like to replace the "tv.com/American Chopper" link with one of the above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.197.161.179 (talk) 18:24, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed move at Black Widow.[edit]

For any editors concerned, there is a proposed moved at the disambiguation page Black Widow. If you have anything to add to the discussion, please do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Black_Widow#Proposed_move Weebro55 (talk) 04:07, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress[edit]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Jeannette Lee which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 23:46, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
