message: Do you think we could get a better picture of Ivey?  The one now doesn't look so good. Just saying. --Code1390 05:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Better pic?

message: In the interview with All-in Magazine , Ivey denies the stories that he was some video game star before he became a poker player. Excerpt:
There are a few articles out there that said before your focus shifted completely toward poker, you were known for your phenomenal video game skills. How good were you?
They’re making that up. I played video games, but it was nothing serious. I was above average. Interviewers ask me questions like “Do you like to play video games?” I say, “Yeah, I like video games,” and then they just make up stuff. You say something and they write a phantom story. That’s why I don’t really read about myself too much. People always are going to have something to say, so I don’t put too much into it. If you start worrying about every little thing people say about you, you won’t be able to sleep.

thread_title:  Recent blogish additions 

message: Thanks for the input regarding my "earphones please" submission.  I took your commnets to heart, carefully matching the "fair use" lanuage you used in the photo you submitted to the "Poker After Dark" wikipedia article.  In addition, I converted the image to low-res, as you used in the PAD article and dropped it down to the bottom of the page.  I am also happy to address the first issue that someone raised in this forum, which is that the other photo is quite poor and looks very little like Ivey, although it is admittedly him.  I hope this fun-loving photo I submitted, which is one of the most memorable screencaps available from PAD, will be appreciated by all who read this article and also satisfies your (the person who deleted my previous submission) tastes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ToothlessGranny (talk • contribs) 19:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, I run a site called blondepedia which includes player bios and databases for players like Phil Ivey.
To see it, please use the link below...
http://www.blondepoker.com/blondepedia/blondepedia_view_player.php?player_id=709
I was just wondering if I could be granted permission to link these kind of pages to the pages of various poker players on wikipedia. I feel it adds a lot to the page, especially in terms of photography which is lacking here.
Please let me know, thx.
:You can do what you did here and suggest the link be added, but you shouldn't go to a series of articles and spam the link. In this case, the Ivey page has almost no information, except photos which are readily available everywhere including his official site so there is no need to add any photo-only type links. 2005 02:21, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mads_Andersen
However, I don't seem to be eliciting a response. Am I doing something wrong, perhaps in my formatting of the message, or is it simply a case of waiting longer for a member of your team to respond?
Thank you for your assistance and apologies for being a pain.  snoops
:It not being added is a response. In general your pages don't merit a link.  they have almost no text and just some photos which add nothing to what can be fouind on official sites. 2005 20:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I reverted these edits made by IP address 67.85.246.10 which claims Phil Ivey went to  Edison High School and played Varsity Basketball and graduated in 1995. The only thing I found for "edison high school" "phil ivey" was a classmates.com site but anyone could have technically signed up as Phil Ivey on that site. Is there a source for this?
Also Hendon Mob lists him as being from Absecon, NJ which seems to go against this. (Maybe from Absecon, went to Edison High School?) Strongsauce 23:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Hey Phil. I dealt to you on numerous occasions on a crap table-my name is Sven-and I only wanted to tell you the respect I have for you not only as a poker player but as a human being. I think you carry yourself in an extrodiany manner and I like to think I would only replicate your behavior if I was in the same position. I never felt it was appropiate to tell you this across the table so I present myself now. Dont ever change. I wish you continued good fortune and I hope we cross paths again. god speed.

message: An IP editor recently came on and edited the article by creating massive subsections. He or she created a section Poker followed by Live poker followed by massive subsection that only makes the article more jumbled and confusing. All these sections are redundant and the current version is cleariest. Please discuss before reverting. Valoem talk 14:00, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, there is no need for further subsections; it muddles things up further. JaeDyWolf ~ Baka-San (talk) 21:28, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Looks like the format war is back on. I've seen this format on a few other poker pages and in general I like it better than some of the more muddled poker pages.  Looks to me like the original IP editor was trying to standardize the poker page format.  Maybe that works, maybe not.  Either way, after reviewing the history of these changes I don't really think that Valoem's changes were or are far superior to the IP editor's format. I don't feel strongly enough about it to revert any of the format edits on this page but I wonder if the issue of a more standard format deserves some discussion on the general poker discussion page.Kanapapiki (talk) 22:12, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

message: Why is there a section entitled "Philanthropy" that comes before the information about his career? Is it more important to learn how Ivey has given away his money, or how he has earned it?
