This article is within the scope of WikiProject Cue sports, a collaborative effort to improve the coverage of pool, carom billiards and other cue sports on Wikipedia.

Internal pages: Something like: [2][3]). Such pages are not fluff, but can be good places to find recruits for the project, possibly including subject-matter experts, especially if cross-referenced to the project. Also, Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Cue sports (cf. [4][5][6]).
Create timelines, both textual and graphical. See link for various guidelines and examples. We need an overall one for cue sports generally, and more specific ones as we drill down into more specific topics (timeline of nine-ball, timeline of Willie Mosconi's career, etc.).
Form sections: Exhibition game needs section on cue sports; could later form a new article with "Main article..." xref to it. What other general articles need cue sports sections?
Images: improve articles with images from commons; create pics and add them to commons as GFDL/CC-by/PD.
Add: {{Sport overview}} to main articles of cue games that are real sports; medal table tags where they apply (see Ding Junhui for example).
Insert: Cue sports events (tournament results, etc.) into the "year in sports" categories (e.g. 1965 in sports), using {{subst:Cue sports heading}} if that year doesn't have one yet.
"Some say" the first board was made by a Mennonite sign painter? Who are these "some"? Can we have a citation for that? Dyfrgi07:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Could somebody supply more credible references to the section on the Eagan and Fitzgerald families? The webpages cited only demonstrate (a) the existence of a St James church in Colgan Ontario and (b) a Tommy Eagan of Tottenham got married in that church in 1920 (c) his daughter Rita Eagan married an Ed Fitzgerald in the 1950's. The only game mentioned at all anywhere on those sites is a card game, euchre (which it specifically mentions Tommy Eagan liked to play, but does not mention crokinole).
The etymology of the name should be slightly rectified: the French word is "croquignole" (not "croquinole") and in Québec it refers to a pastry somewhat similar to a donut (except for the shape), not a cookie (although in France, a croquignole is more similar to a biscotti). I am not sure how to modify the paragraph while keeping the existing reference.--Fgingras47 (talk) 18:27, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think this section should be deleted due the lack of sources and very old timeline. I've searched for sources for this extensively online, but have found nothing. The most likely case is that this event no longer exists. CrokinoleCentre (talk) 17:54, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fairly likely just made up, especially given the Western name of the alleged champion and the strange "due to returning to Canada" storytelling trivia. That doesn't even make sense; new champions are declared when a championship is held and someone wins, not when someone moves from one place to another. I removed the entire unsourced section as likely hoax material that's been sitting in article without sources for a long time, having failed verification attempts, and unencyclopedic. National-level championships in any notable competition are worth including but only if they can be verified as real. That said, whether the event series is ongoing or not would be irrelevant to whether we'd include it. We have entire series articles on no-longer-held tournaments in various sports. — SMcCandlish☏¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 05:33, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
