Lots of info from a pilota fan about professional and amateur competitions. Videos too.

Webpage of a local museum devoted to Pilota in the little village of Genovés.

There's a multimedia section with videos, 3D views, and an online game simulating a one-on-one "escala i corda" match. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.117.185.205 (talk) 10:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ireland??? 

message: The link to the Catalan wikipedia version of this page should point to [] instead of [], since this one talks about Basque Pilota and the first one talks about Basque and Valencian Pilota.
Also, the Spanish pointed page is [], which obviously talks only about Basque Pilota. There is a Spanish page about Valencian Pilota, [], but the Spanish Wikipedia has no page merging both games, as the English and Catalan Wikipedias do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.117.161.123 (talk) 09:11, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links in Catalan and Spanish 

message: I think the title of the article and all the references to the name of the sport should be changed to "Basque Pelota", as this is the official English translation encouraged by the International Federation of Basque Pelota. Moreover, this is the name with which this sport is known in Anglophonic Countries like the United States--LeChimp 14:00, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Basque Pelota

message: The rules section describes the court and explains the basic differences between variants, but it's missing something important: the rules! It doesn't even explain how a team scores. Also, it says the Basque pelota was in the Olympics a few times, but none of the variants is described as primary. Which type of pelota was played in the Olympics? Finally, the intro says that the International Federation of Basque Pelota has standardized two or three forms (if they're standardized, there should be some definitive number), but the list of variants gives several and does not say which of them are "official". — Gwalla | Talk 05:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Missing key information

message: I'm not for merging. Granted, it's a stub at the moment but most varieties of pelota are quite capable of filling a page. Just haven't had the time yet. Akerbeltz (talk) 20:44, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger

message: Sorry, but I'd swear that the whole "History" section was just vandalism if this wasn't apparently legit. I mean, the names! Is this for real? I'm not trying to criticize a legit article about a real subject, but there must be some way to improve it? Maybe more background to go with the names? That would help. I mean, why does a "world famous" pelota player have such a Chinese-sounding name? Was he Chinese?.45Colt 05:42, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

message: Can anyone confirm whether the word "modality" is actually common in writing about sports or if it's just an overly direct translation from modalidad? As far as I've been able to find out it's the latter. ─ ReconditeRodent « talk · contribs » 22:54, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modality vs Variety 

message: Should the proper name be "Basque pelota" or "basque pelota"? Both appear to be used in this article. It would seem to me that "Basque pelota" is more natural since the sport is from the Basque region (unlike, say, "french fries", which are not from France). In a quick look online, I mostly saw "Basque pelota". Whichever way we come down on the question, we should try to be consistent about it.Brianyoumans (talk) 21:06, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
