Talk:Card marking

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article should probably be merged with Marked playing cards --Toms2866 19:49, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I merged and redirected the new thing with this much older one. 2005 20:31, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia....but, the correct key words should be "marked cards" vs. "card marking". Most people say "marked cards" as a phrase. I do not know how to link to the "marked cards" page ???? This should also, somehow be linked to "cheating at poker". Thoughts ?

There should only be a single article about card marking/marked cards. If a user searches for "marked playing cards" they are redirected to this article. The other articles about cheating use verb-oriented titles: Cheating at poker, Bottom dealing and Second dealing), so I think "Card marking" as the article title is more consistent than "Marked playing cards". Cheating at poker is in the See also section.--Toms2866 19:23, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

While I bow down to your expertize, but all sorts of cards may be marked (ie. like Post cards, baseball cards, etc.). That is why I think that "marked playing cards" is more accurate.....but, like I said, you know a lot more about Wikipedia than I do...so I conceed :-) ... thanks for helping !

About a month or 2 ago someone made changes which were technically accurate, so I not only left them .... but, I elaborated on them. A couple of days ago, I noticed that someone removed pertinent information which deminished value for Wikipedia readers. I fixed the text and hope the Wikipedia editors prevent such changes without the review of someone who is an expert in the area. Should Wikipedia like me assist in such efforts, please feel free to contact me. As I stated above, I am an expert in magic, sleight of hand, gambling, etc.

July 23rd, 2006 (10:51 PM EST) - I checked and someone removed the same text which makes the discussion on Marked cards incompete and potentially misleading. This is the second complaint which I am recording.

July 25th, 2006 (2:00 PM EST) - This is the 3rd time someone removed the valuable information from the Wikipedia page....I fixed it again, to provide Wikipedia users with the most accureate and comprehensive information summary.
