Additional general comments
Hey, Michael here

I added the first attempt at an actual article, and then did some follow up work. A lot has been added since then. But I see a few issues:


 * The references seem to have issues. I need to double check the text against the references for one thing.  I used a few classic works, such as Pool, by Mike Shamos (arguably one of the most famous US pool/billiard historians, and the Billiard Encylopedia, a massive work with a very carefully researched introduction to the history of the game.
 * The section on billiard enthusiasts seems awkward, and maybe needs to be an article of its own
 * I moved the lengthy section on shooting techniques, but its probably hard to find now
 * Intro needs work as I mentioned above (but forgot to sign it.)

I am willing to help, if I can. I am not a great writer or organizer, so I will defer to others

English billiards
In the section providing summaries of, and Main links to the main articles of, various games, I believe that English billiards, as Carlos Reyna suggested, needs to have a section in there. Anyone feel like taking that on? It could even be a single paragraph, describing the nature of the game, and a bit about international competition, but waning popularity with the rise of snooker. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by &mdash; SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;contrib&#93; ツ 21:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC).
 * Done. A little rough but should be enough to work with.--Fuhghettaboutit 00:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Need assistance

 * Wikipedia is not an advice forum, though there are several of those related to billiards around out there on the web. Or call your local pool table dealer. The simplest method of levelling is to use a level (the tool, I mean) to figure out where the problem is and then put shims of some kind under the leg that is low.  Hope that helps. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93;  ‹(-¿-)› 05:09, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
