Talk:Poker squares

This entry should probably have a primary name of "Poker Squares". While the first sentence indicates this as a name variant, the 1949 edition of "The Complete Book of Solitaire & Patience Games" by Albert H. Morehead & Geoffrey Mott-Smith (reprinted in 1977, ISBN 0-533-20621-4) indicates a primary name of "Poker Squares" with a variant name "Poker Solitaire". While "Poker Square" has become a modern variant name, historically this game is correctly titled "Poker Squares".

Thus, I proposed the reversal of the "Poker Square"/"Poker Squares" primary/variant name roles on this page to reflect historical game rule literature. Todd (talk) 01:17, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Further support from http://www.solitairecentral.com/history.html : "Among more recent publications, The Complete book of Solitaire and Patience Games by Albert Morehead and Geoffrey Mott-Smith, first published in 1949, and still in print to this day, and David Parlett's Penguin Book of Patience are the most popular and authoritative references to solitaire games."

Week 5 edit suggestions
The rules are very clear and concise, but one thing that is not explicitly stated is how cards are chosen before going into play(drawn from a face down deck or otherwise). An extra sentence or phrase could clear this up for readers who are completely unfamiliar with the game. The figures are good visual aids, but they are placed without text next to them, leaving giant blank areas on the page. This forces the reader to scroll up and down more to see the text that corresponds to the figures, and is less visually appealing. Moving the figures so they are on the side of the page with text adjacent to them would make the article much smoother to read. There is no references section that I can see, and that is something that should be visible in the finished version of the article. Conor.Dowd (talk) 14:57, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
