Talk:Beer pong (paddle game)

message: What is unique here that cannot be subsumed into the Dartmouth page?
:If anything, Dartmouth pong would be merged into this one, not the other way around.  However, even that is not necessary.  The Dartmouth page has a well-cited history more specific to that college.  It would be out of place here to get that detailed, yet it is still worthy of an article on Wikipedia.  When every character who has ever existed in the street fighter series gets a page, I have a hard time believing a college phenomenon as pervasive as pong is undeserving of both an article about it's oldest variant and a parent article about the game as a whole.LedRush (talk) 14:56, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge with Dartmouth Pong 

message: I don't know how to initiate this, but this article MUST be merged with the "beer pong" article asap.  Youdontsmellbad 08:37, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: Would anyone object to having a varations section that would list major forms of the game, like the list at Dartmouth pong and the style of fast pong played at Bucknell Pong.
This article would describle general pong, incorporate much of the history of Dartmouth pong, and then have very short descriptions of each variant.  Then people could list the entire rules of the variants on different articles.
It seems that the Dartmouth Pong article is better sourced than this one, and a lot of it could me made to make this one better, seeing as Dartmouth invented the sport and many variations of it.LedRush (talk) 00:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Variations Section 

message: I am trying to establish this page:
1. With more citations
2. As a better reference for the "real pong" (pong with paddles)
3. As a place where people can be introduced to some main variations of beer pong.
This was just my first attempt and I am happy to help make the article better any way I can.LedRush (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Page format 

message: This article is full of unsourced variations that clearly did not fit the intentions of Wikipedia (Wikipedia:GAMEGUIDE#GUIDE). There is no question that the Beer pong (paddles) #Variants section needs citations. FerrousCathode (talk) 02:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a game guide 

message: This article is almost entirely unsourced. Some sources are dead links, some don't actually refer to this game, and what sources do exist seem only to be people's recollection of playing the sport. Most of the article covers rules and variations, all of which is completely unsourced. It seems like this article could be about 10 times shorter and if any links do exist for rules, perhaps they can just be referenced as related links? Sheriffjt (talk) 02:32, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poorly Sourced 

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Beer pong (paddles). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
