Categories in game section

[edit]

Here (http://petanque.org/around_the_world/italian.shtml) it says: Boules in Italian means bocce or boccia. Broadly outlined, there are two types of Italian games of bocce: the game with metallic, bronze boules and the game with composite boules. The game with the bronze boules is called Volo and is exactly the same as the French game sport-boules or boule lyonnais and in both games the same rules are applied. that is different from what is said in the games section similar to bocce volo or in Jeu provençal page that says follows a similar set of rules. I was looking for sth and accidentally stumbled upon this and am not familiar with the sport so can't really say but similar and exactly the same are big differences. Here (http://www.boules-sport.org/#nos-disciplines) is categorisation like in the first source.

Also petanque is mentioned twice; I guess they are the same game. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.149.51.167 (talk) 19:07, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge from Pétanque#Boules games in history

[edit]

Moved from User talk:Bigbenboa

Might be better to put most of this [UPDATE: actually this, now] into Boules (the general game-class article), and highly compress the history material in Bocce Pétanque or just remove it (beyond the emergence of bocce proper) and point to Boules for game-ancestral history; we don't need to recapitulate history stuff of related games, but rather centralize it and cross-reference. See, e.g. Cue sports#History (which eventually needs to be worked up into a separate article); we don't reiterate that stuff in Pool (cue sports), Snooker, Carom billiards, etc., other than as needed to summarize the emergence of the variation at hand (and we give even less info at specific games articles like eight-ball and straight pool and three-cushion billiards – the article equivalents of Bocce Pétanque, but in cue sports, which ultimately have the same origin as boules and bocce). Or, from another perspective, the Boules article will be lacking, if the material on its history is tucked away in a corner at Bocce Pétanque.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  23:27, 8 November 2017 (UTC); updated  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  03:35, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The material was copied from Pétanque. I have removed it, as I don't think it belongs at Bocce. Perhaps it should be at Boules instead of at Pétanque if it applies to boules. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:39, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Right-o. I've updated the thread heading, and the merge tags.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  03:35, 10 November 2017 (UTC)][reply]
I agree that all of the text on the history of boules games in the petanque article should be moved from petanque into Boules, leaving only information about how petanque evolved from earlier forms of the game. I've done some of the edits on petanque, and I'd be happy to do this edit. Do I need some kind of authorization for doing it, or should I just go ahead and do it?

What the heck. It was the right thing to do, so I just went ahead and did it. StephenFerg (talk) 03:56, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
