A fact from Trucco appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 April2008, and was viewed approximately 3,903 times (disclaimer). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that troco(pictured), also called "trucks" or "lawn billiards", is a traditional Englishlawn game played with wooden balls and long-handled cues at the ends of which are spoon-like ovals of iron?
This article 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
Internal pages: Something like: ). 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. ).
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.

Does anyone else think that that building described in the picture caption looks more like a gazebo? If you read the wiki articles for pergola and gazebo it seems gazebo certainly fits better. Infinitejpower (talk) 23:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)Reply
