Talk:Gaelic handball

message: I have never, ever heard it called "Gaelic Handball". Always 'Handball' in English, or 'Liathróid Láimhe' in the Irish. Perhaps 'Handball (GAA)' would be a better title? 193.1.172.163 12:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe "Gaelic Handball" is required in order to avoid confusion with other handball sports.--Casaforra 09:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: Basque pilota is commonly known as deriving from the French Jeu de paume. Same for the "Gaelic Handball"? --Casaforra 09:42, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origins 

message: A large list was added.  I removed it, as such lists are not usually appropriate for sport articles...possibly if there is a specific championship, they might belong there with sourcing.  I can't see it here.- Sinneed 13:14, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  long list of people 

message: It seems to me that this article and the articles on American handball and Australian handball are all really about the same sport and that the games played in the US and Australia all originated from the Irish game when they were brought there by Irish immigrants. I think the three articles should be merged into a single article called "Wall handball". There's a precedent for using the name "wall handball" since it appears on the official site of the World Handball Council. I'm not knowledgeable enough to say for sure or not if the rules and history of the sport in the three countries are different enough to justify there being three articles for them, though. I'd like to know what everyone else thinks. Sky Blu 2 (talk) 18:35, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger into Wall handball?

message: The article says games are played to a set number of points.  Is there a set standard?  If so, how many points is it?  Are the courts covered as is usual in the U.S.?  Also, there is no mention of the ball.  I assume it is the same as -- or nearly so -- that used in the American game.  Is that so? Kdammers (talk) 06:23, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
