Talk:Eric Bristow

Dartitis
Think that this should be renamed - dartitis is not encyclopedic as it is a joketerm (-itis meaning infection in true medical terminology) - is this section just a joke?

Also how would having six toes meant he had better balance?

All pub-medicine in my opinion

Could be best thought of as a colloquial term to discribe something akin to "the [yips]" - frequently used in golf to discribe a condition that makes some golfers unable to appropriately complete a golf stroke. Dart players discribing "dartitis" explain the problem in the same way golfers discribe "the yips".

Maybe this explaination could be added to the article.

I'm not sure that the "six toes" issue adds anything to the article.

Personal life
Sounds like quite a character so we need some info on his personal life. I'd write it myself but know nothing about the man!--Edchilvers 16:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

He went to the same school as me - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackney_Downs_School but was a few years younger than me so I didn't really know him when I was there. I would have added the link to the article but it is locked at the moment. Sad to hear that he has died. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glh54 (talk • contribs) 08:10, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

6 toes

Controversies section removed
I've removed the 'Controversies' section of this article in accordance with WP:BLP, as contentious information about living people must be sourced. In this case nothing in the section was particularly libellous, but the general principle has to be upheld: this content should only be re-added if sources are found.
