message: While editing this article I found practically no info about W.E.A. van Beek - Vice-President of FMJD. However, there is Dr. Walter E.A. van Beek from Utrecht, Holland, who seems to be the same man. One more evidence for this is that W.E.A. van Beek (Vice-President of FMJD) lives in Utrecht according to information from the official site of FMJD. However, at this site there is also the telephone number of W.E.A. van Beek - Vice-President, which differs from one of Dr. W.E.A. van Beek from Utrecht University. Moreover, I'm not even sure whether W.E.A. van Beek works for Utrecht University. Some sources connect him with Tilburg University in Holland.
In different sources it is also stated that the Dr. van Beek's expertise is connected with Africa. And at the official site of FMJD it is said that nowadays W.E.A. van Beek is not the Vice-President but the Representative of African Confederation in Managing Board.

message: What is the current status of poker? User:... has just added poker to the lead sentence. We need documentation.
The IMSA homepage does not suggest that poker is a member sport, although it includes one link to a poker promotion. Regarding the December 2011 SportAccord WMG, its headlines show that bridge, chess, draughts, and go associations have submitted preliminary lists of players who will participate, and that xiangqi has been invited. Counting down from the top, probably backward in time, those are the 4, 5, 6, 7, and 10th headlines. --P64 (talk) 01:16, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: True. Now that I dig in a little bit, I realize that the status of poker within the IMSA is not as clear as I thought. We do need clarification! I'll try to see if I can find some references from my side... :) SalimJah  (talk) 20:19, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: So I've checked and it seems that Duplicate poker currently has observer status within the IMSA (see here). According to this source, the goal for Duplicate poker is to achieve full recognition by the 2012 World Mind Sports Games. Is it relevant to mention any of this in the article? SalimJah  (talk) 18:59, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it's quite interesting as well as relevant, particularly with that reference. It could go in a short extra section. - DavidWBrooks (talk) 19:24, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I would probably wait until the WMSG announcement for WMSG 2012 apparently this will happen on the 17th November as the main images on the websites contain poker hands so the status may be about to change.Tetron76 (talk) 13:41, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, wait until -11-17 or later to clarify and to provide references. --P64 (talk) 16:32, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

message: The lede includes the word "formaly". I would correct the spelling, but I don't know if "formerly" or "formally" is intended. Maproom (talk) 11:04, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: RESOLVED. The article is now twice "formally" after someone's edit formaly=>formally and my edit formerly=>formally. --P64 (talk) 16:30, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Formaly"? 

message: It is now out of date. Recently some related articles have been split and updated; related categories revised. Everything under cat  is recently or soon or both in flux.
If/because the 2012 Games will generate August hits, it will be good to update during July at latest. --P64 (talk) 21:30, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
