I noticed your edits to various poker players. A few weeks ago I started writing about 40-50 new articles on poker players. Since establishing them I've started to go back and add more information as I do more in depth research. You may be interested in User:CryptoDerk/poker where I keep track of the articles, their progress, and miscellaneous information. CryptoDerk 00:06, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
I'm curious what your objection was to my 2+2 link on Poker. I consider their forum one of the two canonical sources for poker discussion. What's the problem with them?

After reading your comments in the Talk page, AFAICT this falls in the category of quality links that would nevertheless start a slippery slope downward. Fine, I can understand that. I guess it just seems a bit odd to cite RPG but not 2+2, when in my mind they stand out far and away as the best two sources of poker discussion.
It might be good to explain your policy in a comment so that newbie editors like me don't run afoul of it. Granted, due diligence probably involves reading the Talk page before editing, but we newbies don't know what's due diligence! PhilipR 15:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Career earnings
The career earnings are indeed subject to frequent change, despite being technically correct and relevant. I think I originally started doing it when I first started editing in the subject and noticed it on one of the pre-existing articles. For some (a very few) players there are "more accurate" counts than the Hendon Mob database. Probably what I'll do in the near future is go through the articles, select some "important" wins (WSOP or WPT titles, their largest money win) and just use those. I've already done this on some of the later and larger articles I've edited. Thanks for the input. CryptoDerk 22:38, Sep 28, 2004 (UTC)
Moneymaker as part of The Crew
According to an interview ESPN did with Moneymaker, he said that he was invited to be part of The Crew. Since we don't have articles on Dutch Boyd or The Crew yet, it's probably not too important to link it or mention it now, although in the future it may be (that is, if The Crew gains a bit more notoriety and/or gets an article).
