Poohsticks
Poohsticks should be in the Olympics. Scott Gall 02:17, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Quite agree. Living just a mile from the real Poohsticks bridge, can I be on the team? Nigel Peacock 22:33 1 March 2006

The access problem seems to be fixed, which saves any consideration of whether the mention in the article was encyclopaedic or not: see Plans to improve access to Pooh Bridge unveiled. --Old Moonraker (talk) 20:02, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Proposed addition
Hi - I just posted the following but it was immediately taken down by a moderator and it was suggested that I first gauge opinion among page users as to whether they thought this contribution was OK. "The first game of poohsticks as described in Chapter 6 of AA Milne’s “The House at Pooh Corner” featured Pooh Bear as the solitary player. He correctly predicted which of two sticks would emerge the winner 36 times in 64 races. A statistical analysis of this score carried out in 2012 showed this was well within the realms of chance performance ." I posted this at the end of the section considering whether strategies can help poohsticks players and feel that it adds something to the debate. Please could I have some opinions on whether you think this is appropriate or how I should improve the post so that it is so? Many thanks.

 * (per wp:TPG, moved to bottom, added section title, signed)
 * This might be a good addition, but you might want to find a wp:secondary source for the statistical analysis bit. Note that I'm not a moderator--just another editor. - DVdm (talk) 13:16, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

The Winners table is missing the 2013 event. I seem to recall it was cancelled but I could be (and probably am wrong). - Hamster Potter — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.76.7.194 (talk) 17:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC)


 * A quick google informs me that the event was originally cancelled but eventually held in October. Correct information (I hope) has been added in :) Annecremin (talk) 19:20, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

"invented by"? Seriously?
How about a source for that?

I was always amazed by the PR mightiness of the Winnie-the-Pooh franchise. Of course coming from a place not English speaking it just might be that why I underestimate the value and impression the Winnie-the-Pooh stories leave on the customers. - But "invented by" seems to be a bit too exaggerated.

Mythical band?
Why is 'The Pooh Sticks' called mythical? 86.132.222.199 (talk) 23:29, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

Pop culture
I added Midsomer Murders to the Pop culture section. As English is not my mother tongue, please check my grammar and wording. Thanks. 83.179.147.13 (talk) 00:06, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Bridge Locations
The article briefly mentions some "original" Poohsticks Bridge which apparently was located somewhere in Kent. I feel this needs to be explained further in the article. Also it might be noteworthy enough to add that Buckhurst Park is less than 3km east of the current renovated official Poohsticks Bridge. --BjKa (talk) 10:02, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
