  • Is there anyone who has some spare time, knowledge of hbp + good writingskills?
    edit the wikipedia page because it's "full" of sh*t, about elephants and links to video's from "The European Urban Bike Polo Tournament" in Eindhoven, WTF!!

    If people now google on it they will see this and they think one should have a elephant to play.

    link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_polo
    note: this is probably written about grass polo, can find it anywhere in the article though. Hardcourt Bike Polo as a own wiki section. But this section is also saying something about it, so remove the mixup.

  • That's the generic cycle polo page, hardcourt's here:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardcourt_Bike_Polo

  • Yes I know, but I got some questions from a student who wanted to do some article on bike polo and googled it, came on the "cycle polo" wikipedia page and asked me questions regarding that. And this was not the first time (local newspaper did it before). People search for bicycle polo and then get these results, thats why.

  • Nothing wrong with the generic article, only the research skills of your students and local rag.

  • From time to time, I've improved bits on that article, but it's still needs some work, especially around sources, which they aren't many of.

  • I think what is probably needed is to split the main cycle polo page into a disambiguation page with 2 sub-pages. Or have a see also page.

  • The cycle polo page needs a clean-up, as the images are of hard court, whilst the text refers to grass.

  • Given that the Cycle Polo article is rated 'Start' class, I think it's clear that significant improvements are needed.

  • Bill, I think you should get involve...

  • Yeah. Wikipedia is even better than this forum for wasting what little time I have left. I'll have a look.

  • Would any of the photographers here like to donate a photo to Wikipedia.

    The current lead image doesn't really represent bike polo any more:
