Talk:Seven-ball

message: "If a ball is potted when a penalty has been conceded, the offending player's ball which has been potted is to be placed once again back into the original spot it was at before as it was an illegal pot. This is the same rule for snooker." Really? I haven't encountered this kind of placing in pool billiards before, but indeed, my experience is very limited. In my experience, all replacement of the object balls is to the foot spot. Major penalty (after loss of the game) is a free ball in hand, which is a big deal. Snooker doesn't have this. Bgt (talk) 11:45, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

message: I've seen 7-ball played on ESPN, I've played with semi-professionals in pool halls, and read descriptions of the rules online all of which have never given a hint that the pocket designation rule exists, and under all those circumstances I've seen it played exactly like 9-ball with sometimes the exception of it being a call shot game, either just the 7, or all balls, and I've sometimes seen it played where any inning at the table is ball in hand. But I've never heard of the ball being placed where it was before a foul, like snooker, or the three pocket designation rule. How popular is it to play that way, and if it's not standardized anywhere, shouldn't the page describe more than just one style of play? Dancindazed (talk) 21:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What's up with the rules? 

message: Hi, is it worth pointing out that setting up the balls on Seven-ball Pool can also be done with a standard Fifteen-Ball triangle rack turned diagonally? I noticed that in a few videos of Seven-ball Pool, the referee did this manner, (and I've cited these references in my recent edit), but used an unused object ball or cueball in the apex corner of the rack before gently rolling it off after lifting the rack. I did this manner when playing Seven-ball Pool and it worked well for me. I also think it's also worth noting that when playing Seven-ball Pool on a coin operated Pool table, you can use the leftover balls 9 to 15 after using balls 1 to 7, or to make it easier to see the "money ball", use the 15-Ball as the 7-Ball when playing the first frame, and using the 7-Ball as the 15-Ball for the second frame (the 8-Ball being discarded, but can be used as an apex corner ball when racking with a triangle). I'm sorry if I was a bit of a pain reverting the edits I added, but I do think that my information is useful. I also have contributed by adding photos that I've taken, showing how to rack a game of Seven-ball Pool with a standard Fifteen-Ball triangle rack and using the leftover balls when playing on a coin operated Pool table. I hope that you can keep my edit that has improved the page.

Talk:Stephen Juba

message: I believe the statement on the page about why Juba's first marriage ended in divorce should be removed.  
First of all, the source cited is a court file, which probably violates WP:PRIMARY.  
Secondly, even if the court file exists and does say what the article says it does, the information may not be true.  In those days, there was no such thing as ending a marriage due to "irreconcilable differences."  Grounds for divorce had to be proven in court.  Since adultery was grounds for divorce everywhere, the easiest way to get a divorce was for the petitioner to discover the respondent at a motel with another party.  This does not mean any actual adultery occurred; the other party was often a straw person who worked for the divorce lawyer and was there for the purpose of establishing grounds for divorce.
Thirdly, even if the information in the court file is true, it could be held to be defamatory of the other woman, who was never a public figure like Juba.
I post this here for discussion but have not made the edits yet. Bellczar (talk) 03:01, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:.32 Winchester Special

message: From the Hornady Manual: .32 Winchester Special, test rifle Winchester 1894, barrel: 1 in 16" twist. Bullet: .321" diameter. ""The 32 Special had its origin in in 1895 when it was introduced by Winchester in their Model 94 lever action. The primary intent of the cartridge was to offer a smokeless loaded round that could be reloaded with black powder. Needless to say, the hoped-for popularity never came about." --Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading, 3rd Ed., 1980."
Hornady lists their .30-30 test rifle as Winchester 1894, barrel: 1 in 12" twist. Bullet: .308" diameter. That's a .013" difference in diameter of bullet, and 4" in rate of twist of barrel.
The rate of twist appears to be a compromise between full velocity factory loaded jacketed bullet ammo and reloaded ammo at lower velocity; wear on the .32 special barrel may degrade accuracy with high velocity factory ammo before it degrades accuracy with lower velocity reloads.

Talk:Steve Forde (footballer)

message: I've done a bit of digging with regard to the name as I was surprised to see that the page had been moved. I'm happy to accept that 'Steven' (which I had originally sourced from the Who's Who of West Ham United) was wrong and should be 'Stephen'. However, it appears that the surname is now incorrect though I can see that a number of sources do indeed use 'Ford' for his time before joining West Ham.
The surname is listed as 'Forde' in a number of West Ham publications, as well as in Joyce (2012 ed.)/ENFA, AFS and Hugman. This is also confirmed on theyflysohigh, West Ham historian Steve Marsh's website, which gives birth and death details as well as his autograph. 
I've spoken to Steve Marsh and he has also sent me some other sources to confirm the name, and provided the following:
"The first mention of Forde in the programme was his signing. Snippet from the Chelsea Reserve programme dated 9 January 1937. Note:  He was listed as being STEPHEN FORD. His surname is clearly wrong, as all subsequent mentions are as FORDE.
His first game programme against Southend gives him as FORDE. And he signed his autograph as STEVE FORDE."
Although the 'e' at the end of his signature is quite small, it is still clearly visible. The death record, showing the surname as 'Forde', can be seen on familysearch.org. 
What appears to have happened is that the surname was recorded as 'Ford' by club officials and/or local journalists and went uncorrected until he got to West Ham. After joining, and the initial announcement showing the incorrect surname, this was then corrected to 'Forde' and this has remained as the common name in all subsequent sources.
I intend to move the article to Steve Forde (footballer).  please let me know if that is going to be an issue for you. If it is, I'll open a requested move. Thanks, Nzd (talk) 01:21, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
