Talk:Rookie

Do we really need the second picture? It doesn't serve to inform the reader, if you ask me.

Snooker?
The name of snooker apparently comes from a British army term for a new recruit. Does anyone know if this word is directly linked to 'rookie', and which came first?--MartinUK 13:29, 3 November 2007 (UTC). 'Snooker' is 1872, so earlier. Probably there were various unrelated names for recruits. Hakluyt bean (talk) 04:09, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

to the wiktionary?
This is in the list of most wanted stubs. Although the text is more complete than the entry in the Wiktionary, I don't think that this article will ever be more than a dictionary definition. I suggest a proposal for deletion, as there is already an entry in the Wiktionary. We can move some of the text into the Wiktionary definition if it's appropriate.

Chess origin?
This was recently added with chessposter.com as the cite. Seems dubious as a RS. Other opinions? Mr. Swordfish (talk) 15:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC) Mr. Swordfish (talk) 15:07, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
