Talk:House of cards

message: Three possibilities:
* An article on the idiom "house of cards".  This is disrecommended because Wikipedia is not a slang or idiom guide.
* An article on the actual practice of building houses of cards.  No one has volunteered for this.
* A redirect to House of Cards.

replies: text: You're the expert.  I'm new here.  But it seems to me that if thumbs up gets a place on the site (even on part of another page), then house of cards should too.  I was actually thinking it would be cool to find a picture we could legally use of a house of cards and putting it on, but you're right that in the 28 minutes this article has been up, no one with the expertise to write about card-houses has volunteered.  I dunno.  It's not a big deal to me either way. Dave 04:45, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: What this article should be

message: I was the holder of the record for highest card castle in around 1978 (11 feet).
I've not done it for quite a while though.  I do have some photographs though.
This is really sad!
My guess is James Warnock. Wow I don't quite got the patients to build anything that big, I just take a rubber band, and or card and begin to destroy it after about 6 stories. That would be intresting to have pictures of all the world record holders and their first towers, but it'd probably be hard to get all the images cleared by Wikipedia standards.

thread_title:  I would do something if you like. 

message: Currently so far, there are two Wikipedia articles with the same title that headlined "HOUSE OF CARDS"!!! What is the meaning of this? How will the worldwide readers and knowledge searchers will able to find it straight-away the particular one-and-only articles that they want? Besides, how will they know that which is which on "pastime" or on "television show"? Can somebody or anybody immediately help to resolve these two articles? Whether or not both of these two needs to be redirected to another blank article for disambiguation or otherwise before another new article again with the same title comes up? In this world that we are living, surely there is no such thing (under the creation of the Almighty God) as two cloned or double-double of its own kind. Because everything was created according to its own kind in itself! However, for these two articles it is like the two of any different human beings living in separate worlds or of worlds apart can have 100% exactly the same full name!!! How pathetic! -onWheeZierPLot Tuesday, 27th June, 2006ad.
:Articles with close to identical names are very common, e.g. we both have a U.S. state and a country named "Georgia". Try familiarizing yourself with wikipedia policies. You've added way too many wikilinks, second: you created incorrect disambiguation links in the beginning of the page, and much of this article might be relevant for an article about Berg, but this seems like the wrong place for much of your material. We don't use text like "Click on this link ... from the ImageShack website ...." in the middle of an article. Please familiarize yourself with the guidelines, that'll mean less work for everybody. -Valentinian (talk) 08:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  I volunteer 

message: This article, and the Bryan Berg  article, are heavily self promotional. they both need to be rewritten to be less tilted towards this person, regardless of his status in the field. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:17, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

I tried to arrange the pictures in a informational way and removed those that didn't seem to be showing anything new in feature and design. I think the current pictures represent the main classic and architectural styles of building. I don't think it needs any others at the moment, but there might be a better way of showing some of these features. There are also card stacking that seems to be impossible such as this or the oil derricks that are made from a single column and extend far out past were the base was. I don't know if we should have any other image showing that type of thing or not. But that would probably lead to other pictures and a gallery and there doesn't seem to be enough references to include a gallery. I've tried to find older books besides Berg's that mention how to build card towers, house of cards, card castles. But I haven't found any, they'd probably be in hobby and games sections in the library but since the term is so often used it is hard to find find one that actually analyze the building of them. I've tried searching libraries and the Library of Congress' catalogue but had no luck. Maybe someone else will have better luck at it. (Floppydog66 (talk) 15:15, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
